Petroleum to Cure Diphtheria.

Paris medical men continue to give
their opinions vaguely on the treat
ment of diphtheria by petroleum as
carried out by DIR. Flahbut, provin.
cial physician. All unite in testimony
as to the fact that such treatment is
by no means original. DR.. Fauvel, a
celebrated throat specialist, says that
in pulmonary maladies the applica-
tion of pure petroleum has produced
splendid results. Moreover durin Q
the American war of secession, wounds
were dressed with the oil The doctor
however, counsels mothers whose chill
dren are affected by the dreadful NAL
ady of diphtheria or Group to put theii
trust for the present in pure lemon
juice, which should be sponged oil

WITH HEARS
A RUINoUs LOSS.

Why is it that people in general are
so prone to disregard loss of strength,
clearly perceptible in bodily shrinlage,
failure of appetite, broken rest? Incom-
prehensible but true. Sheer careless
ness, an overweening confidence in the
power of nature to recuperate-these
are suggestible reasons. One of-the
most observable signals Of danger
thrown by distressed nature Is waning
strength. An efficient tonic is the best
safeguard against impending peril.
Among the invigorants which modern
science has developed and experience
approved is Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters, and 1t occupies the first. Diges-
ton, renewed by this genial stomachic,
compensates for drain of vital force,
and regular action of the bowels and
tranquil condition of the nerves, both
insured by its use, cooperate in the
complete restoration of vigor. The bit
ters remedies liver and kidney trouble
and malaria.

Attempt at Suicide.
IT Might Have Been Prevented
TFrom the Boston Post.]

FTOIu LHc DOoIOn Oot.
While the walks in the Public Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were Mortified to see a man suddenly plunge
knife repeatedly into his throat and fall TO
the ground.
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years Of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing 10 end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor-
nation regarding himself. He was taken 10
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About 0 o'clock last night a
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him TO commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results of mental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have dizaness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
despondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

of spiritual life, prayer, purgatory
or the atonement for sins. but those
who had come in contact with the mis-
sionaries solemnly aver that their re-
ligion had always been similar to the
Christian religion. 1t is very, very
difficult to convert the Siwash for
these reasons. They cannot tell the
truth as we define it. If asked direct
question they win answer as they
think would please you, and not neces-
sarily according to the facts of the case.
Again, it is foreign to the nature of
the coast Indian to believe in any such
thing as vicarious punishment. The
suffering of Christ upon the cross in
atonement for our sins is simply be-
yond their comprehension, although,
OF course, in n superficial way they
will smilingly acquiesce in anything.
There is little doubt that the mission
aries are doing grand work in ele-

this talk about white people taking
an example from Indians in morality
is not justified"
