Ia our illustration are shown four styles.
The directoire parasol, with very long
stick, finished off with silver crutch handle
and bow of striped ribbon; this is par ex-
cellence the promenade parasol. The car
riage parasol is mounted on a much shorter
stick, and, as a rule, is finished with an elab-
crate and costly handle The one In the cut
is of chased silver, enriched with n Louis
XVI head in Dresden china. The third fig

stick is Of wood, in rustic pattern, and tipped

a new conner, which has been christened
"Parasoiette," and resembles in many re-
spects the old ''sun shade" is a diminutive
affair, designed especially for carrying OIL
afternoon drives These parasolettes are out
in a bewildering variety of colors, mounted
on slender rods of brass, or sticks of wood and
ivory, hounced with lace. Those designed
for coaching parties have their silk covers
mounted on crop handles. New Workers have
taken very kindly to the elaborate ''silver de
posit' handles, which in numerous cases eX-
tend foot's length or more the stick. The
color of the cover of a parasol is governed by
the color of the costume with which it is tC
be carried.
For fetes and summer dresses are dainty
affairs with rich lace covers. Such para
sol is shown in the central figure in oul
cut In this the lace border is arranged in a
floral pattern that is exceedingly effective
The Po,npadour handles to the parasols are
novel These are fat and round in ivory,
with gold shield in the center, or sometimes
the handles are all in embossed gold or silver.

ened water, in hatulent dyspepsia After a
few minutes eructation occurs, followed by
improvement.
For painful dyspepsia with dilated stomach,
Drs. Regnault and Laseque have prescribed
as follows: Chloroform water, $50 parts;
orange flower water, so parts; water, 100
parts. One dessertspoonful to be taken, at
intervals of fifteen minutes, until pain ceases.

GUS successful trials of chloroform used inter
nally. In gastric ulcer he gave it Fifteen
grains in q five ounce bismuth mixture) with
great effect, which he believes to be due to
its disinfecting, astringent and stimulating
properties. In various affections of the
throat and mouth-as follicular pharyngitis.
catarrh of the pharynx, gingivitis and diph-
theria-washes and gargles containing chic
reform proved very beneficial. In one case
of severe psoriasis of the mucuous membrane
of the mouth, which had been unsuccessfully
treated by several medical men, chloroform
water effected complete cure. Two cases
of pneumonia, treated with chloroform, were
remarkably satisfactory. Very encouraging
results were obtained also i'll six cases of ty-
phoid treated with this remedy.

Periodic Headache.

The causes of many forms of headache are
as yet little understood. 1t is claimed, how
ever, by DIR. A Haig, that one variety Of pc
riodic headache is directly due to the reten-
ton of uric acid in the system He describes
the usual sequence of events as follows:
There is time SAY seven to ten days OF
good general health active nutrition and
bodily activity, with plus formation of uric
acid and urea, and concomitant rise in acid
ity. As acidity rises, uric acid comes to be
retained, and at the end OF four or five DAYS
several grains may be regarded as stored up
in the liver and spleen. Then come dyspep-
STA, gastro-intestinal catarrh and hepatic
congestion. These quickly result in general
diminution of absorption and nutritive
changes, with lessened formation of uric
acid and urea and u fall in acidity; and
lastly, as the result of this falling acidity,
there comes q rush OF the stored uric acid
into tho blood, and the headache begins.
Such a sequence explains the periodicity Of
this kind of headache and the way in which
it comes to occur every week OF ten days for
many years, varying only in degree with the
corresponding variations in nutrition. 1t is
also evident that any causes which affect di-
gestion VIII influence the attack in one of the
above ways; while all causes of debility, by
weakening the nerve center on which the
uric acid acts, will render it more sensitive
the reverse of the action of bromides) anC
the attacks more frequent.
The good effects of salicylic acid and the
salicylates generally in this variety of head
ache are due to the circumstance that they
facilitate the excretion of uric acid, and thus
prevent the retention of excessive amounts
within the body

Latest French FASHIONS.

As rule, sooner or later, fashionable wo
men the world over are influenced by whai
the French people wear; so we present to oul
readers some of the latest fashions from gay
Paris First, then, nothing can be straighteI
than the skirts now worn by fashionable wo
men in Paris. Not a steel is to be seen, and
the pads, if they exist, are invisible. Chine
silk is much in fashion there. Silks are de
cidedly coming in again for all but rough
useful costumes; about this there is no doubt
There are many varieties in new cloths, quite
the most novel being cashmere with a wool
welt and silk wool. Irish poplin is fash
ionable material, possibly because it is an in
termediary between silk and wool. Alpaca is
also much worn
The revolution in sleeves is accepted. Some
of the newest are very wide at the top and
either lace or button inside the arm French
women allow them TO drop over the hand,
carrying out the medieval in its entirety.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-09-05

Fichu jackets are novel and most useful,
for they can be worn over any low bodice
They are rather high at the back, but very
open in front, the vandyked edges just meet
ing across the bust and then receding. The
sleeves are short, but very full, and exceed
ingly pretty, with double edgings falling
round the arm, but caught up high at the
top. These jackets are TO be had in tinted
and black lace Some of the new jerseys,
gagged at the throat and top of the arm,
have q scarf fixed and gagged on the top Of
one shoulder, carried across the bust and
looped in large, loose bow at the side.
