the weak tone of the system; that the
way to cure these effects was to remove
the cause, that human nature being the

When We Hurt His Foot He Knew Where
10 60 for Relief.
Old Jack is great big dog with a
soft curly coat. His eyes are large and
soft, and he looks wise and noble
Jack is a good dog. He never banks
or snaps at any body unless he thinks
they are in mischief
He knows so much he can always tell
when boy or man is bad.
AT night he lies on his masters door
step and takes care of the house
If a man comes to the front door and
rings the bell Jack keeps very quiet.
He says to himself;
This is one of my masters friends,
suppose; ] shall let him in Of course. ;"
But if Jack IS not pleased with the ac-
lions of the man he jumps up, sticks up
his ears and tail and opens his mouth in
such a great loud "bow-wow'' as makes
the man run off as fast as his legs can
carry him
Once boy came into the yard and
tried to steal pears He looked all
about and thought nobody saw him.
Jack saw him. Just as the boy threwa
stick into q tree to bring down a pear
ont jumped Jack.
But Jack did not bite the boy. he
caught him by the coat and held him
fast till his master came.
One day Jack went down street with
Robert, his masters son. The walk
was covered with ice Robert slipped
and fell When ne tried to get up he

The doctor said he was not hurt
much. 1t was only bone that had
slipped out of place in his ankle.
Jack sat in a corner, and his great
wise eyes watched the doctor while he
pulled and rubbed the hurt foot
Pretty soon Robert could walk as well
as ever.
Jack was glad; he wagged his tail
and almost laughed,
Another day Jack was going down
town by himself.
He had not gone far when he stopped
and held up one foot and cried out with
pain. What could be the matter? He
stood still and howled, but nobody came
TO help him. What should he do?
At once a bright thought came into
Jacks head.
If the doctor can cure boys foot he
can cure a dogs foot, said Jack to him
self; so he limped off to DR.. Bonds office.
He scratched at the door, and whined
till it was opened.
"Why, Jack! what do you want?" said
Dr.. Bond.
Then Jack held up his foot
The doctor looked at it and saw a

what can be done.
Jack held very still while the doctor
took the glass out and tied up his foot
in soft rag wet with arnica
Good Jack, said DR.. Bond; you are
all right now: go home.
So Jack thanked the doctor as well as
he could with eyes and tail, and went
off home a happy dog, even if he did go

about four years old entered the car.
The little girl, who was amusing her

holding it loosely in her hand. When

her, the cent fell to the floor. Then
the little girl began roaring like young

TeDid Baths.

The remedial use of warm baths has
water generally contained medicinal
constituents In natural solution, but
the relief. in many cases, was doubtless
due solely, or mainly, to the temper

warm poultices in relieving internal in
Illumination and pain is familiar to most
families
For inf1amed and painful eyes, moth
ing is so good as hot water, applied
with wooden cloth. Equal benefit is
derived from such an application In
many forms of headache. The best
thing to do with sprained ankle is to
immerse the foot in water as hot as can
be borne. A crushed foot or hand
may be similarly treated until the ar
rival of surgeon, the hot water being
frequently renewed.
A communication in The Medical
Record, Oct. 4, 1890, advises the warm
bath for infants suffering from intesti-
nal collie.
The writer says that he was led to
try this remedy in case of collie, &C
companied by extreme restlessness and
pain and considerable diarrhea, because
of the failure of all usual treatment.
The trouble had continued several
weeks, and the child had become much
emaciated. Morphia had been tried
without success.
At length, fearing that the child
might go into commissions, the doctor
ordered tub half full of water, at a
temperature of 80 dogs. Fahrenheit
While the child was immersed in this,
it's head was kept cool with cloths
wrung outof cold water The doctor
says:
1.-The effect was magical. Within
ten or fifteen minutes the child quoted
down, and on being taken from the
bath fell into quiet, healthful sleep,
which lasted several hours The little
patient from that time began to get
well. The mother and nurse, having
learned the value of the tepid bath, re-
sorted to it afterward, whenever the
child was threatened with one of its
collie spells Within a week or two it
had entirely recovered. youths Com
