Many doctors now prescribe creoSote, or
oil Of smoke, made by burning the wood
Of the eucalyptus tree, as preventive of
disease. In the forest Of resinous trees
the air IL filled with the odors which come
from decomposition Of slow burning. Thus
the great Dismal swamp OF North Caro-
lima, though Allied with stagnant water, Is
remarkably free from diseases that owe
their origin to miasma and malaria. In
cases OF sickness II Is a help, to guard
against infection, to burn small pieces of
resinous wood and allow its smoke to mix
with the atmosphere In the house.

Hygiene: "a person suffering from pull
monary consumption may be absolutely
free OF danger to his most intimate asso-
ciates or his immediate surroundings, II
only the sputum Is disposed Of with scru-
pulotis care. The sputum, and the sputunl
alone. In some way is the source Of dan
ger, and common sense, good sanitation,
humanity and even the requirements of
simple cleanliness demand that this should
be destroyed or rendered harmless"

raised outer skin only is pricked 1t is apt
to be sore and troublesome. After the
liquid has disappeared fatten the blister
