Aooustom Children to Being Examined.

Accustom Children to Being Examined.
When child is ailing and the mother
cannot determine the nature of the affec-
ton she should at once examine the
throat, for in these mysterious attacks
diphtheria is one of the diseases which
suggest themselves as the probable cause
Of the symptoms. Besides teaching chill
dren to bear the examinations patiently
mothers will do well to fortify them still
further against throat diseases by ac-
customing them to the sensations they
must experience when applications are
made.
A large camel's hair brush, which can
be obtained from druggists for about five
cents, would be suitable for the purpose
The handle should be heightened by the
means Of penholder or stick. and the
brush first dipped in boiling water
After cooling. the brush should be gently
applied to the tonsils and other parts of
the throat In sight. This operation at
first will cause ''gagging." but soon the
constituencies will be overcome, and the
child win bear it without any discomfort
When this has been accomplished the
mother may feel quite secure against
that dread malady, diphtheria, for If it
occurs she viii be sure to discover it
early; moreover, local treatment, which
seldom proves unsuccessful, can be easily
applied. Boston Herald.

q wife and four small children, the

o'clock Monday evening by seeing
Bradley come running ont OF his
house with blood streaming from q
gaping wound in his throat, crying
that bis wife had tried to murder
him. A crowd soon gathered, and o
doctor was seat for.
On entering the house bis wife was
found with two cuts on her throat,
from which blood was flowing freely.
Blood was smeared over the furniture
