An Accident to q Hindoo and the Conse.
quences 1t Entailed.
The Indian papers report that some
time since. in the neighborhood oil
Fyzabad, a man of the Ahir. or COW.
herd caste. was carrying a young calf
home on his shoulders. when by some
accident 1t slipped down and broke its
neck. The Brahmins declared him
to be an outcast and sentenced him to
the severest form of Hindoo excom-
munication for elk months. They
further told him that he could not
have committed a greater sin than
causing the death of q cow, but TAX
ing into consideration that he was an
uneducated man. they had dealt very
l~eniently with him During the
period of accommodation he was
ordered to lead a life of mendicancy
and with a rope round his neck and a
portion of the calls tail on his
shoulders he was to perform Pilgrim
ages to different Hindoo shrines. The
members OF his family were forbidden
t o supply him with either shelter
orsfood under a penalty OF undergoing
similar accommodation. The Ahir
recently returned to his village, but
until the publication ceremonies are
over he must live in a temporary
gfass-thatched house which has been
erected for his residence. 1t remains
for a man Of one of the lowest and
most degraded castles to purify him.
A barber. after shaving the delin-
qnent and pairing the nails of his
hands and toes, will make over the
hair and nails to the low caste attend
ant who will burn them and also set
fire to the hut. After this the Ahir.
being covered with c~ow-dung. will
take a plunge into the river Sariu
and come out purified. But his trou-
bles are even then by no means at an
end. After he has Toasted fifty Brah-
minis and 100 OF his brethren he will
be admitted into caste fellowship.

Catarrh, Not Local, But Constitutional.

Catarrh, Not Local, But Constitutional.
DR.. Die Lewis, the eminent Boston ply
stefan. in a magazine article says: A
radical error underlies nearly all medical
treatment of catarrh. 1t is not a disease
OF the mans nose; it is a disease of the
man, showing itself in the nose a local
exhibition of a constitutional trouble"
Therefore, he argues, the use of snuff and
other local applications is wrong, and
while they seem to give temporary relief,
they really do more harm than good.
OtAer leading athorities agree with DR..
Lewis. Hence. the only proper method
Of cure. for catarrh is by taking a consti-
tutional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which, reaching every part of the body
through the blood, does eliminate all i'm
purities and makes the whole man heal
thier. It remover the cause of the trouble
and restores the diseased membrane to
proper condition. That this is the prac-
teal result is proven by thousands Of
people who have been cured of catarrh by
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla. 11-12-m1
