The Measles.

Measles begin with the symptoms Of
bad cold, hoarseness, a cough, sneezing
and weak ewes. On the fourth day a rash
appears on the forehead, spreadsover the
face and extends TO the body. 1t is Il
darker red than the rash in scarlet feyer,
and feels raised 70 the touch. When the
rash first comes ont it looks like flea bites
arranged in little half moons on the skin.
The great danger is of taking cold,
which may bring on inflammation Of the
lungs, and Of injury to theeyes from over
use OF exposure to too strong light.
The patient should be kept in bed in a
well-yentiiated room at temperature Of
about sixty-cight degrees The window
must be lowered few inches at the top.
If possible, the opening being covered
with strip Of aannel 10 prevent a
draught As fresh air Is indispensable, if
this makes the room too cold, a fire must
be lighted to coun,eract it.
4 warm bath should be given each day,
folded blankets being placed over and
under the patient, the night dress remoy-
ed. and the hand holding the sponge be
ing passed under the upper blanket while
bathing 10 avoid exposure. The window
should be shut during the bath. II the
rash causes much irritation it may be
rubbed with cosmoline or sweet oil.
The ewes should he carefully shaded
from the light, and no reading permitted
until they are strong again. Serious in
fiaination and permanent weakness of
the eyes may follow, if these precautions
are not taken. 1t is often very hard to
keep child amused and happy under
these restrictions. This is one Of the diff
iiculties that a good nurse will overcome,
and she must remember that the child 5
comfort during life may depend upon the
care il receives at this time.
To avoid cold, all clothing should be
warmed and aired before being used. A
flannel jacket worn over the night dress
is great protection.
If delirium comes on and the rash sud-
denly disappears, the sufferer should be
put into a warm bath containing four
table-spoonfuls Of mustard to each pail OF
water, taken out after few minutes,
quickly dried with warm towels, and
wrapped in warm blankets until the doe
tor comes. lfthe child has quick pulse
and seems very sleepy, the breathing
should be carefully watched TO detect
symptoms of trouble with the chest.
Milk should be the chief article of diet
1t may he used in Cruel, custard. and
blanc mango, and varied with beef tea
I chicken broth, mutton broth, toast, and
any light food Youths Compaaioa.

What am | to Do?

The symptoms Of Biliousness are un-
happily but too well known. They diff
fer in different individuals to some ex-
tent. A Bilious man is seldom break
fast eater Too frequently, alas, be has
an excellent appetite for liquids but none
for solids of morning. His tonge will
hardly bear inspection at any time if it
is not white and furred, it is rough, at all
events
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order and Darrhoea or Constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or hatu-
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. TO cOuccs all this if not effect
a cure try Greats August Fg0,rcf, it costs
but tribe and thousands attest its efIi-
cacy.

A Petrified Body.

4 most singular discovery has been
made in the Augusta, Georgia cemetery
In accordance with instructions received
from members of the family, the remains
Of :. O. Gillette were exhumed by Gem
etery Superintendent Bryan and inferred

diggers had uncovered the coffin and
went 10 remove It from the grave il WAS
found that two men could not bulge II.
Usually after a body has lain in the
ground for several years il becomes very
light. blt it took six men to lift this one
from the graye. The singular fact Undue
ed Superintendent Bryan TO investigate
into the cause. and it was found that the
body was completely peirifed, and was
as hard and solid and heavy as rock.
1t was in wooden collin. and the top
had decayed SO that the glass had fallen
in on the face. The weight of the glass
had somewhat disfigured the nose, but
with this exception and the sunken ap-
pearanee OF the eyes, the face presented
its familiar appearance. When buried,
however, the face was clean shaven, and
when looked at Friday it was covered
giih beard several inches long. The
face was dark and presented the appear
ance OF iron. looking not unlike metal
cast. Superintendent BRYAN and those
present, after making the examination,
proceeded to bury the remains in the
new lot, but the story leaked out Friday
evening, and Undertaken Platt and 9TH
ers will make an effort 10 get the consent
of the family to again exhume the body
for the purpose Of making critical and
scientific examination. The remains
were buried less than four yesrs ago, and
the short time in which petrifcaiion has
occurred makes il remarkable and un-
usua. case

The Experience of Mrs. Peters

Mrs. Peters had ills,
Mrs. Peters had chills,
Mrs. Peters was SURG she was going 10
die;
They dosed her with pills,
With powders and squills.
With remedies wet, and with remedies
dry.
Many medicines lured her,
But none of them cured her,
Their names and their number nobody
could tell;
And she soon might have died,
But some Pellets were tried,
That acted like magic, and then she got
well
The magic Pellets were Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets lthe original
Little Liver Pills.. They cured Mrs. Pc
tiers, and now she would not be without
them.

blood, laden with impurities which have

peculiar sense, the ideal spring medicine.

appetite, overcomes taot tired .fe.fing, and
imparts new strength and vigor to the
whole body.
