NEW METHODS AND MEDICINES.



Not very long ago a foreign physician
recommended very pleasant and effect
i've means of curing short colds in the head
and chest. His remedy was simply cologne
water, 80 drops of which are inhaled four
or five times day by the mouth and nose
The New York Herald's European cdi
ton now publishes "a very simple method
of checking asthma by the use of powder,
which acts in the same way as cologne
water The formula is:
Powdered snuff NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. grams
Salhphor OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. grams
AtnlnOl ....................... 10 cCntlgramS
Another method of checking asthma,
noticed favorably by the foreign medical
correspondence, is by rhythmical fractions of
the tongue made by the patients them
selves when they feel that an attack is
coming on. He says: These fractions Of
the tongue made with the hand covered
with handkerchief Is to 20 times min
ute, initiating the respiratory rhythm by
an in and out movement, restore breath
ing and may check the attack. These
fractions made BY an assistant may also
be found etlicacious during the strangula-
tory period of the attack
There is II new antiseptic substance izal,
of which the journal mentioned says that
it is an oily liquid that can be derived
from certain forms of coal, and when treat
ed by ether it dissolves partially, giving
limpid product of brownish color, with a
strong odor of cresylic acid. When mixed
with water, this oil forms an emulsion
quite agreeable in odor which, in proper
tons of | to 2O0 checks the development
of the greater number of microbes 1t is "a
noticeable fact that the bacillus of typhoid
fever rcsists its action. This emulsion
of izHl and water is said to have given cX-
ccllcnt results in surgical antiscptics. 1t is
not poisonous, does not irritatc wounds
and attacks neither the operators hands
nor his instruments. 1t is therefore IL pow
erful, harmless and convenient antiaaptic,
destined, it is claimed, to be the antiseptic
of the future

Sick Headache Cure.

The following cure for sick headache is
one which correspondent Of The Coun-
try Gentleman claims to have used with
perfect success:
Mix II tablespoonful of cayenne pepper
to thick paste with vinegar, spread it on
a strip of thin cloth, which may be folded
together, and bind on the forehead from
temple to temple, Then swallow pinch
of the ptppur-say n quarter Of a saltspuon-
ful-tn Il tcaspoonlul Of vinegar or lemon
juice. The plaster will burn, but not bis
ter, and in the course of ten minutes the
headache will disappear under the stimu.
laling effect of this treatment.
At the same time it is well to remember
that pain is natures danger signal and Il
warning to rest. After driving off a head
ache lie down for an hour or two and
keep as quiet as possible during the rest
of the day. Neither the brain nor the
stomach should be taxed for ~ hours.

WIN Justify Gresham.

WASHINGTON, Dee. "a Time will
prove a iustiier to Secretary Gresham
of the course Of our Department OF
State in the Chinese Japanese war.
Possibly the Republicans of Congress
who have been clamoring for the cor,
respondence touching that war,
may make the time amble little
more vigorously than would naturally
be the case and make the justification
earlier than it might have been. But
it is sure to come.
The Secretary has disregarded all
hostile criticism, much of which has
been malignant, because he has been
conscious of the strength of his posi-
ton in the matter and cunfident that
his conduct would meet with the APP
proval Of his countrymen. The refus-
al of the United States to be identi.
fed with any other nation in assum.
ing an attitude toward the Asiatic
combatants has besn taken b7 both
China and Japan in the spirit 10
which it was made and it has helped
to inspire both China and Japan with
greater confidence in the United States
as dlsinterested friend than either
country has manifested to any other
Power represented at Pekin or Toxic.
So great has been this confidence that
in the attempts at peace, the negotla-
tions have been conducted through
United States Minister DENLY at Pc.
kin or United States Minister Dan at
Toxic. 1t will depend altogether on
the disposition OF the Chinese to meet
the demands of the Japanese whether
the suit of China for peace shall be
successful and terminate the war
Whether successful or not, the fact
will remain that the efforts made to
bring the two nations to an under
standing have been communicated by
means of our diplomatic representa-.
tives, that this fact IS an eloquent
tribute to the disposition Of the Uni.
ted States to deal fairly with both
China and Japan and that for some
reason the United States and not one
OF the other great Powers represented
in Asia was selected to perform the
offices.

The present generation knows but
little of the civil war which was
fought from 1861 to 1865. During
that war "A, 900 men were killed in
battle, 10000 died from disease, &c
900 died in prisons. $4,000 died of
wounds, 29O,OOO were wounded and
$4,000 captured or missing. Add to
the ABOVE a like number for the south
ern armies and we can realize the ter
rible loss of life during the civil war.
The present generation cannot realize
what this terrible conflict cost, neith-
er do they realize what has been
gained by the victory of the Union
arms. The cold barren figures don't
signify to the living the cost of the
war. and it is only by comparison that
we can understand these figures.
