A good vermifuge is linseed oil two ounces, and oil of turpentine, half ounce, mixed in five gallons of water. Give pint twice week.
 A bedroom should be always ot cheerful aspect. If it is very well lighted, the walls may be Ill dark tints and the furniture of rich dark woods, such as mahogany, cherry and the like.
