Gargling the Throat.

If one is to really do good by gar
Cling is, If one Is to insure that
the fluid shall reach the posterior wall
of the pharynX-the nose must be held
and the head must be we'll thrown
back while performing the gargling
process. By gargling in the usual way
only the anterior surface of the uvula
and soft palate and the base Of the
tongue are reached. But by holding
the nose and throwing the head well
back when gargling the medicament
reaches every surface OF the pharynx
very effectively.
The comparative valr,e Of the two
methods can be tested by painting the
posterior surface of the pharynx care
fully with a strong solution of methy-
lene blue ard then letting the patient
gargle with water in the usual way,
when it will be found that the water
elected will be clear and unstained;
then let him gargle again, holding the
nose and throwing his head well back,
when the elected fluid will be found
stained, and an inspection of the
pharynX will show that the blue has
been washed away.
This is a thing worth remembering,
for many observers have maintained
that gargling is not only useless as a
method of medication, but Is quite in
effectual even as means Of cleansing
the pharynx.-Charlotte Medical Jour-

banking methods. In a city or town where the
banks are conducted carefully, while at 'he

iably be found that failures are few ana Dusl-
ness is conducted on proper lines. Reckless
banking begets reckless business generally
The fact, therefore, that Audubon is free from

France, as follows:
''The coqueluche at Paris, year 1880.
From the I'd day to the 9Th day of
June there fell sick at Paris 10000
persons of an illness having the form
of rheum or catarrh, which they call
the 'coQueluche.' This illness seizes
you with a pain in the head, stomach
and loins and a lassitude throughout
the body, and it prosecuted the whole
kingdom of France while the year last
ed, so that once having come hardly
anybody in a town or village or house
escaped.
"The best remedy the doctors found
was to make the sick abstain from
wine. TO some they ordered bleeding
and rhubarb, for others cassia, and
finally they found it best to keep the
sick in bed and allow them little to eat
and drink. They say at Paris that OF
this 'coqueluche' there were dead at
Rome, in less than three months, more
than 10000 persons"
