CONSUMPTION.
(CONTINUED.)

Extracts from DIR Hunters Lectures on
the Progress of Medical Science IN Lung
Diseases.)
To cure the lungs after the bacilli germs
have attacked them and set up Consumption
is one of the greatest achievements OF modern
medical science. 1t has only been done, 50
far as know or believe, by my special treat
ment. No reputable physician now pretends
that any combination of stomach medication
will drive the Consumption germs out OF the
lungs. Hypodermic injections OF Koch S
lymph, Edisons asepsin, goats blood, asses
serum and other nostrums of that llk are
equally worthless, and more harmful. Such
misunderstanding experiments, instead OF cur
ing the lung disease, make it worse, and serve
only to hasten its progress to fatal issue.
lung diseases are durable only by local
treatment of the lungs, and inhalation is the
only means by which local treatment can be
applied to the lungs. Inhalation of antisep-
tic permicides was first discovered by me and
successfully applied in consumption and other
lung diseases. | am the Father OF the doc
trine that consumption is a local disease OF
the lungs, and the founder of its local treat
- H.. ,,sd;c.ted air inhalations. This
method of treatment brought the first ray OF
rational hope to consumptves. It's the ohiy
possible way in which medicines can be intro
duced into the air passages and lungs. An
lung remedies must be reduced to state oil
gas or vapor and breathed, because no sohd
or fluid medicine can be introduced into an
air cavity, without danger to life. The lungs
are an air cavity, and by the air and through
the air every curative action by medicine can
be produced on the seat of every form OF lung
diseases My antiseptic and healing remedies
enter into and form component part oil the
air the patient breathes.
Since my introduction of this scientific and
successful method of treating lung diseases
many imitation inhaling instruments and nos
trums for inhalation have been brought out,
in some instances by persons without any
medical knowledge or experience OF lung
cases. The idea seems to be that anything
inhaled must be remedy. What VIII cure
the lungs when inhaled depends on the ply
scians knowledge of lung diseases. his ex'
perience of the action Of remedies when
breathed. and his careful adaptation OF them
to each case 1t has taken me lifetime TO
learn what is best for each form and varying
conditions Of lung diseases. and no man can
adopt my practice or apply it with success
without having my experience to guide him.
1t is the medicines that cure, not the mere act
of inhaling them. You might inhale what
could do YOU no good, or harm instead oil
good, and call that inhalation treatment
Go be continued.)

1.-THE simplest and cheapest way to
force rhubarb without the use of glass
is to place few barrels over the plants
in early spring In some localities the
mere protection from the wind and cold
afforded by box or tub will bring in
the pieplant week or two earlier. The
heat produced by the fermentation of
fresh manure, stable litter, forest leaves
or other convenient material will still
further hasten the product Sometimes
few pieces of wood are set close to-
gether under the bottom rim of the bar
rel to serve as lid and to allow the es
cape of steam which might injure the
young shoots. If it is worth your while
to study the daily changes, you might
use box with movable cover | have
never heard of any other method of
forcing rhubarb plants in small way
where they stand" Thus writes con-
tributor to Rural New Yorker. He
adds:
ION largo scale some modification of
the same principle must be used, such
as that suggested for asparagus. The
cultivation of the two crops is the same
in all essentials. The forcing of either
crop under glass involves an entirely
different principle-viz, the hurrying
out of all the vitality stored up in the
roots, the exhausted clumps being
thrown away The forcing of plants
where they stand involves the principle
that plants forced in the field must be
allowed every advantage to recuperate.
These are the only two methods. Other
so called methods are merely variations
in practice adapted to local conditions. !"

Corrosive sublimate Treatment.

The following directions for the use
of Bolley's corrosive sublimate treat
ment emanates from the Rhode Island
station:
Corrosive sublimate can be bought at
drug stores in the form of crystals. Two
and one-fourth ounces of these crystals
should be dissolved in few gallons Of
hot water, and enough cold water added
to make ID gallons of solution. The
whole should then be we'll stirred. In
preparing the solution and treating the
seed use wooden vessels only, Two bar
rels with wooden faucets are oonyen-
lent, the solution being drawn from one
to the other whenever it Is desired to re
move the potatoes. The potatoes may
also be put in sack and dipped Tito
the solution. The same solution may Le
used repeatedly. The whole tubers, afts
first being washed should be placed III
the solution for | u hours, then spread
out to dry and cut and planted rs usual
This solution is extremely poisonous ana
should not be allowed to get into the
mouth nor into wells, springs, etc, nor
be left where animals can gain access
to it.

A Magazine Which Builds
Houses.

The readers of The Ladies' Home Jour
nal are about as responsive a clientele AS
any magazine possesses. About ak
months ago the Philadelphia magazine
started TO publish a series of practical
architectural plans showing no artistic
houses could be built at moderate cost.
1t employed II special architect, and his
work was certainly artistic. Besides the
plans 1t agreed to furnish complete spec
itications of each house at minimum
cost. Thousands of people liked the
plans given and the series has been a
great success for the magazine. This
spring the building of over five hundred
houses, varying in cost from $500 to
$1,000 each, will be started In different
parts of the country by Journal readers,
In addition to over one hundred other
houses which have already been built.

What to DO in Cases of Cold.
DR.. NORMAN KEER


At this season of the year the advice is
freely given, take little brandy or
whisky to keep out the cold or drive away
a chill" To all such we commend the
teachings of DR.. Norman Keer, than
whom on this subject there is no higher
authority.
When he was asked if brandy or whis-
ky was good to ward off a threatening
cold or drive away chill?
NO. replied Dr. Keer. ION the
contrary, it is an entire fallacy to suppose
that brandy or alcohol, in any shape or
form, either warns the system or keeps OF
cold. As matter of fact, alcohol, after
very temporary rise of temperature, ex-
tending over few minutes only, lowers
the vital temperature, in consequence OF
which the drinker is actually robbed of
acquiring an additional supply. Persons
partaking of alcohol are more likely to
suffer from cold or exposure to 1t than
those who abstain from it, 1t is for this
reason that in climates such as Lower
Canada the soldiers on guard are instruct
ed never to take alcohol when about to go
on duty. have known of several deaths
arising from disobedience to this rule"
Brandy, them" said his friend, us
practically useless"
Certainly" replied the doctor
brandy does not warm the system, as
so many suppose; it merely warns the
skin, and has paralyzing action on the
nerves which control the blood supply.
This accounts fer the flush which one sees
on the face of person who has just taken
glass of spirits. Brandy in short, causes
relaxation of the blood vessels, and is
responsible for the flush on the skin.
Intelligent voyagers never now take
alcohol with them, unless it be in minute
quantities in their medicine chests, have
been in the Arctic regions myself, and |
know very we'll that brandy can not only
be dispensed with, but that one is decid-
edly better without it. An immense
number of people, whenever they feel a
chill, resort to alcohol, on the mistaken
assumption that it warns the body; it is
pity they do not know that it has an
absolutely contrary effect"
On being asked what he would recon-
mend in cases of cold he said
There is nothing better than simple
hot water and getting under the blankets
The water can, of course, be favored with
lemon or orange, according to taste. A
good drink of hot water has all the bene-
fetal effects of brandy and none of its
accompanying risks. If the feet can be
put in hot water at the same time, so
much the better. Spirits generally are
, worse than useless in cases of illness.
An enormous number of people have
taken rum under the impression that it
keeps the influenza at a distance. AS a
fact, however, rum invites the influenza,
from the depressing effects OF alcohol on
the nervous system. A nervous system
depressed through the agency of alcohol
is much more likely to take on any form
of epidemic than one not similarly affect
de, inasmuch as the vitality is lowered"

GROWING LARGE POTATOES.
Planting single Eyes In Driils-Hi11ing aud
Deep Cultivation Produce small Tubsrs.

Planting single Eyes In Driils-Hiliing and
Deep Cultivation Produce small rubsrs.
Many beginners in potato growing
end that their crop, even II large in
bulk, Is mainly composed of small, un-
salable potatoes of generally inferior
quality. There may be several causes
for this, the most common being the
planting of too much seed. American
Cultivator in this connection says:
One good, strong eye, with enough OF
the potato attached to give the shoot
vigorous start from the first, will make
two, three or four stalks. That is
enough in any hill to secure the best
tubcrs Some potato Planters cut the
single eyes SO. small that the young
shoot does not start out vigorously, and
the crop, though composed of large po-
tatoes, will be small one. The secret
of having crop of all large potatoes is
not to crowd the vines too much In the
hill The potato bears crowding about
as poorly as any crop we know. Yet
there are objections to cutting potatoes
to single eye unless the seed has been
carefully chosen from the strongest
plants and those which retained their
foliage longest. Then not more than two
or three pieces should be made from the
potatoes thus saved, and the strongest
eyes should be reserved for each piece.
In beginning the planting of single
eyes it is always best to plant in drills
rather than in hills More and larger
potatoes can be grown this way, and If
II -, fxnn frnr
weeds the planting in hills should be
made the regular practice. AT 10 inches
apart in the rows and the rows three
feet apart crop of potatoes cut to sin
gle eyes ought to completely cover the
ground when the stems and leaves are
largest. AS the tops die down weeds
will start up, and the cultivator, set so
an inch deep, should be kept running
through between the rows. Deep cult
walton, except just after the potatoes
have come up, should never be attempt
ed, and no hill should be made around
the potatoes.
Killing and too deep cultivation are
more often the causes Of small potatoes
than anything else. When the potatoes
are set, the cultivator should never be
allowed to disturb their roots, as it will
surely stop the growth Of the tubers al
ready formed and begin the formation
of new set, which will not have time
to ripen before the potato vines die
down. Such potatoes cannot make reli-
able seed. They are far inferior to pota-
toes taken unripe from hills where the
tops are still green. The dying down of
the tops before the potato natures is al
ways the sign that disease has affected
them, and this is sure to extend to the
tubers. Spraying potato tops with Dor
deaux mixture, SO as to keep the foliage
healthy, is therefore necessity for po-
tatoes that are intended to be used for
| seed
