WASHING OUT THE Stomach
During the past year several physicians
in New York have tried, with graft
flying success, 4 novel treatment fol
dyspepsia and cancer of the stomach
by washing out the organ. The pro-
cess is very simple and not dangerous.
A long flexible pipe is passed down
the throat until one end is i'll the
stomach. The upper end has funnel
attached, into which hot water is
poured until the stomach is filled.
The weight of water in the pipe and
funnel gives hydraulic pressure
sufficient to distend the stomach. The
pipe has an aperture big enough to
hold lead pincil. After the stomach
has beer filled, the funnel end of the
pipe is turned down until it is lower
than the bottom Of the stomach, and
the stomach is emptyas barrel of any
fluid is empticd through a siphon.
The process may be repeated several
times. The result is that the undl-
gested food and mucus are washed out.
and the hot water closes the blood
vessels and reduces inflammation.
The relief is immediate. The dyspep-
tic may have his stomach washed out
before u meal, so that he can take u
fresh start. After the lapse Of a suf.
ticient time for ordinary digestion,
the stomach may be washed out again.
This process has been in use ut the
New York Hospital, we are informed,
for some time.-Scieutilic American.

THE USE OF VAsELINE.-While
vaseline is an excellent household
remedy, it must be remembered that
it is powerful promoter of the growth
of the hair, and for that reason it
should not be used about the face. It
is the very best remedy to restore to
health hair which is inclined to fall
out and seems to have become dry and
dead. 1t should be rubbed into the
scalp not the hair, and the hair should
be brushed long and vigorously, and
the brushing repeated each morning
afterward. Once in two or three weeks
is often enough to apply the vaseline
to the scalp unless the hair still seems
dry.

probably to be ascribed to their inde-
pendence, coupled with the strictly
observed good form, that notwithstand-
ing the rather free life as we should
think it, real immortality is not to be
met with in Samoa, and that the gen.
tie, clinging Samaon woman is acces-
sible only to true love; in that case,
however, throwing down all barriers.
Nevertheless she is usually sufficient

the girls must obey, though reluc-
tantly.

To Abort n FeIOn.

1t is asserted that a felon may be
aborted, if taken early, by moistening
the part and rubbing with nitrate of
silver or lunar caustic. The skin will
become very black, and in q short
time-a few hours-the pain and swell.
ing will peel of. Immersion in cold
water is also an excellent means of
aborting felon. When suppuratiop.
has occurred, the sooner the felon is
opened the better. BY the injection
of few drops of a solution or cocaine,
the felon may be oponed without pain.

Thoughts of Silent Worship.

Let deepest silence all around
Its peaceful shelter spread;
SO shall that living word abound
That word that wakes the dead.
How sweet TO wait upon the Lord
In stiffness and in prayer!
What tho no preacher speak the word,
A Minister Is there
A Minister Of wondrous skill,
True graces TO impart;
He teachers all the Fathers will,
And breaches to the heart.
He dissipates the coward's fears,
And bids the coldest glow;
He speaks, and 10 ! the sOfteSt tears
OF deep contrition tlow.-
He knows to bend the heart and steel;
He bows the loftiest soul:
Ger all we think and we feel,
How matchleSs His control!
And, ah, how precious is His love,
In tenderest touches given
1t whispers Of the bliss above,
And stays the soul OF Heaven.
From mind to mind in streams of joy,
The holy influence spreads;
'Tis peace, It's praise, without alloy;
For God that influence sheds.
Dear Lord! To Thee we still will pray,
And praise Thee as before;
For this Thy glorious Gospel day,
Teach us 10 praise Thee more.

All music in the house of God should
be based upon and governed by the
great idea that music as part Of the
service in a religious congregation is
an act of worship rendered to God. 1t
should hence be chiefly vocal and OF
such a character that the congregation
can join in it. The abandonment OF
this idea is preveIsion Of the funda
mental idea Of church music.
