TAKING MEDICINE.
A Few Words About the Evil Practice of
Indiscriminate Dosing.

A Few Words About the Evil Practice OF
Indiscriminate Dosing.
Physicians prescribe less medicine now
for children than used to be the custom
in former days, and possibly would give
still fewer doses il it were not for the
prcjudices of parents, who feel that
nothing is being done for the chill
dren unless they have something to
take. The truth is that often pure air,
rest and absence from food for time
is all that is needed to give relief, and
the conscientious doctor hesitates to
order drugs which he knows are I'M
necessary. If person who is suffer-
ing from fever is shut up in an unven-
tilated room, breathing the same air
over and over again, covered with
twice as many bed-clothes as are re-
CURED, for fear he might take cold,
and given whatever food he can be
persuaded to eat, the fever is not like
ly to abate. Yet, if when the physi-
clan came he were to say, 'open the
window, take off all the blankets but
one, give him cool sponge bath every
three hours, and let him have nothing
but milk. cracked ice and cold water"
and then go away without prescribing
further, the friends of the sufferer
would sake their heads and sigh to
one another: ave must send for some
one else at once. How can he get
well without incidence" Whereas the
doctor really would have done much
more to promote the recovery of his
patient than if he had left him in the
unsanitary condition in which he found
him and prescribed quinine and aeon
lite nd libltum. Medicine is not omni-
potent it can not take the place of
fresh mir. pure water and a suitable
diet, but it is exceedingly useful in
its own sphere and in the hands of a
wise physician plays an important part
i'll the treatment of disease. Too much
can not be said against the evil prac-
ticc of indiscrminate dosing. MANY
people ruin their health by taking
some favorite nostrum every time they
feel little out of order, when if the
matter were left to nature it would
probably right itself.-Good House
keepin1.

Keeping At Bay the Red Fiends.

OTTAWA, Ont, August S.-A letter
has been received at Victoria, from
Constable Green, at Fort Hazelton, on
the Skeena river, dated July 18th, in
which he says: 1t is dangerous to
stay here; there are but five of us in
the Fort, against five hundred wild
Indians, and all bent on murder.
They have killed five men since we
came up, and they say they are going
to kill all of us. Some nights we do
not get much sleep, and have to keep
guard on all the time; we dOnot know
when they intend attacking us, have
sent to Victoria for more help, and
hope they will come up soon, but the
Skeena river is so bad it will take
three or four weeks to get here. We
do not know the moment we will be
shot from ambush, and dare not VEN
ture from the Fort.

WELL AND TRULY LAID,
Little Rosa HeiliGmann Lays the
Foundation Stone OF the Mis-
sion Hose Company's

sion Hose Company's
Reel House.
Last evening Foreman Abbott and
the many members of the Mission
Hose company attended the site of the
company's new reel house for the pur-
pose of laying the foundation stone of
that building. Major Callaghan, Fire
Chief Duerler, several aldermen, and
city officials were also present, and
the public were well represented. Mr..
Niggli having laid the mortar, little
Miss Rosa Heiligmann took tin box
containing copy of the current issue
of the LIGHT, Times and Express,
department, ticket 1872 emitting the
Mission Hose company to one chance
in the Texas Figaro prize drawing,
package containing specimens
of our specie coinage, some foreign
coins, drink checks, etc., and placed
it in the receptacle in the foundation
stone prepared for it. This was then
sealed, the stone was placed in posi-
ton, and little Rosa having tapped it,
the foundation was declared well and
truly laid.
The Hon. Oscar Bergstrom then
arose, and, after abiding to the object
of the assembly, gave brief history
of the rise and progress of the Mission
Hose company and eulogised it, ex-
pressing the hope that the stone
would long remain as memorial to
their excellence. Fire Chief Duerler,
Mayor Callaghan, Ed. Braden and
Foreman Abbott made brief speeches,
after which all present were RECALLED
with plentiful supply of beer and
sandwiches and fraternized well to-
gether.
The new reel house will be two
story stone building. In addition to
the purposes for which the building is
especially erected, the company pro-
pose to have hall in the upper story
where they can hold their meetings,
and meet nightly in social COM
munion. The arrangements contem-
plated are such as shall not only
make it more pleasant for members,
but shall render the service far more
prompt and efficient, although the
company have never been behind in
responding to the call of duty.
