HOW TO TREAT CHOLERA
A Simple Remedy That Was Success
fully Used in 1886 and I'm IS4S.

a Simple Remedy That Was Success
fully Used in 1896 and I'm IS4S.
The following simple remedy was used
during the severe visitation of the chol-
era in 1886, and was the means of saving
thousands of lives. 1t was also used
with valuable effect in 1913:
Dissolve one ounce of camphor in six
ounces of spirits of wine and give q
small bottle of it to any intelligent per-
son who will undertake to administer it
to his poor neighbors when they are
seized with cholera or any of its symp-
toms, without deviating in the slightest
degree from the following Instructions:
When any person is seized with symp-
toms of cholera, such as vomiting, purg-
ing, sudden weakness, GOODNESS, cramps
or spasms, do not give them brandy or
whisky, or any kind of medicine what
ever. Put them to bed at once, cover
ing them warmly, but not overlooking
them with bedclothes, and as soon as
you possibly can let the patient ian
adult) take two drops (not more) of the
camphor mixture on a little pounded
sugar in spoonful of cold or iced water.
In five minutes after let him take a
second dose Of two drops in the same
way, and again repeat in five minutes.
He is then to wait ten or fifteen min
utes to see whether or not there is q
sense Of returning warmth, with dis
position toward perspiration and mani
fest decrease of sickness, cramps, etc.,
when, if necessary, he must take two
drops as before, and repeat the dose
every five minutes until fourteen drops
have been taken.
In administering this remedy you must
particularly observe that if the patient
takes anything of any sort or kind, ex-
'cept cold or iced water, while the medi-
cine is operating, its effect will be de-
stroyed, for the least foreign medicine
neutralizes the camphor, which is given
to check vomiting and to produce free,
warm perspiration. The use of cold or
iced water is given on the advice of the
late celebrated and successful DR.. Pid-
e dock, OF London, who always allowed
his patients to drink cold or iced water,
as it tends to promote free perspiration
and also the abundant discharge of yell
low bile.
The patient must not be allowed to
rise and become exposed to the slightest
degree of cold, and should not be tor
mented with baths, steamings or rub
bling of any kind, but be permitted to
lie still, as he will fall asleep when per-
spiration comes on. After some hours
tsbe patient will awake well, although
weak and languid and perhaps little
feverish, in which case he may get
dose, say teaspoonful, of Gregory's
powder or rhubarb and magnesia, with
little peppermint water or weak sal
volatile (fifteen drops and water to
wash it down, bat he must be kept
quiet, taking only a little thin SOUP
broth or Cruel for day or two.

RESULTS"
CHARLES HOLMAN.

We toll for results The farmer plows,
sows and reaps for results. The bust
ness man covers himself with the "dust
of mammon" for results. The profess
sional man, be he doctor, lawyer, clergy
man, editor or philosopher plies his in
genuity for results Men are taxing
their brains almost beyond endurance
for results.
Results do not come by chance. Every
noble effort brings its reward. A writer
says, LET a young man fear God, be
industrious, know his business, spend u
little less than he earns and success is
sure" Gods promises are like the
golden veins in the mountains of ore;
they lie concealed in all their richness
and beauty, and faith is required to
bring them to the surface. So God
conceals the success he intends for thee,
that he may draw thee into an entire
dependence upon His promises"

How 70 Treat Moths in Carpets.

If ingram, lay cloths wrung out of hot
water along the edges, drying them with
a hot iron. If the carpet is heavier than
ingram, lift the edges little by little,
steaming it on the wrong as well as the
right side, then wash the floor with hot
cayenne tea, and replace the carpet when
dry. This steaming process destroys the
eggs and the young moths.

BRUSSELS. April u All classes in
Belgium are on the qui yive over the
question OF constitutional revision. The
present constitution is the only one that
Belgium has ever had. 1t was adopted
soon after the declaration OF indie
pendencc OF the kingdom in 1881, and,
though at that time its liberaity was
far in advance Of that OF any other form
Of government in Europe and the frau
enlse was given 10 10000 citizens, the
lapse Of sixty years has wrought great
change i'll this respect. Other nations
have been extending their franchises.
while this constitution has remained
unaltered Tuesday next this ancient
document will be sOlcmnly produced in
The chamber Of deputies and the ques-
ton of its revision will be voted upon.
King Leopold will then dissolve the
chambers and new elections will be
held under the provisions OF this same
constitution. The bourgeoisie will
make a desperate effort 10 secure the
election Of Conservative candidates
pledged TO alter the franchise as little
as possible. The revision of the con-
sttution Will be the sole business before
the next chambers. When the work is
completed the king will again dissolve
parliament and another election will
take place, this time under the new or
revised constitution.
All this will occupy several months,
during which time the country will be
couvulsed by debates, demonstrations
and possibly serious outbreaks. The
workingmen, among whom many are
socialists, demand that the franchise
be extended to at least 100000, and
perhaps to 100000. They are very
much in earnest and will make trouble
il their views are not well met. King
Leopold is very liberal in his ideas, and
hopes for vide extension of the fran
chise. He is also anxious to have
clause inserted in the revised constitu-
ton allowing him TO appeal TO the
people whenever he cannot come TO an
agreement with his cabinet Most of
tile ministers are opposed to this inno-
walton, which they argue will put a
dangerous power in the hands OF mon
archs, aud will in the end react un
fayorably upon him by reason OF right
which the people would feel they had to
be appealed TO on trivial questions.
Brief interviews have been obtained
with politicians on the subject. Most
of the statesmen approached, however,
manifested reluctance 10 commit them
selves to definite utteranceS of opinion.
They professed 10 be without means Of
accurate prediction, and were averse to
being quoted in regard TO an issue
which all parties consider as furnishing
ne most serious crisis Belgium has eX-
perienced during her history as a ma
ton.

ALL FOR APPROPRIATIONS.
The Week In Congress Promises
TO BE DuIl.

WASHINGToN. April -. - In contrast
with the lively scenes Of last week. the
proceedings of both branches Of con
gress during the present week promise
to lack public interest. The managers
OF the house, 10 pursuance Of their pro-
gramme'of pushing the regular appro-
pratiOn bills through in order 10 secure
opportunity Tor the further cOnsidera-
ton OF the tariff bills and hasten the
approach OF final adjournment, have
decided TO devote the entire week
TO the consideration Of these
measures. Immediately after dis
posing Of some District OF Columbia
business tomorrow. the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill viii be
called up by Mr.. Biount. This meas
ure has already been severely criticised
because of radical changes made IN eX-
listing laws, and IL Will doubtless be
the subject OF further attack upon the
floor. After this bill IS passed. there
NAV be conflict for right OF way be
tween the friends OF the sundry civil
service appropriation bill AMI the
friends OF the river and harbor
bill. and these measures con
tain so many items Of vital interest
90 members of the house that prolonged
discussion is certain TO follow when
they arc taken up for consideration.
Appropriation bills are likely to figure
largely in tie senate proceedings also
during tie week. The army approria
ton bill is on the calendar, aud Will be
called up at the first opportunity. II
will be followed by the naval appropri-
alton bill, which will be reported IN a
day or two, accompanied by an amend
ment increasing threefold the number
of new ships TO be constructed for the
navy. Debate on the Chinese bill viii
occupy all Of tomorrow, and the bill
itself will be sent back 10 the house
Tuesday with senate amendments.
Among the speeches announced for
next week is one by Senator Jones, Of
Arkansas. on the subject OF the ChOc-
taw and Chckasaw awards, which the
president refused 70 pay, and addresses
by Senators Hawley and Gray in oppO-
sitiOn 10 the Kyle resolution, proposing
