very small amount, a single mouthful
of wine for instance; while others give
brandy in considerable quantities. A
few American practitioners employ
brandy freely with the cold bath. The
unwisdom OF this practice will be ap-
parent on due consideration of the fol-
lowing facts:
II. One purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure true stmulant
or tonic effect by arousing the vital
energies. through excitation of the
nerve centers. Alcohol was once sup
posed to be capable of effecting this,
and was used for this purpose in ty-
phold fever and various other morbid
conditions accompanied by depression
of the vital forces. Al the present
time, however, 1t is we'll known, and
with practical unaplmity admitted, that
alcohol Is neither Il tonic nor stimu-
liant, but narcotic; that it depresses
and does not excite; that ii lessons,
and does not increase, the activity of
the nerve centers; and that this is
true of small as well as large doses, as
has been shown by the researches of
careful Investigators"

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
John Corwin and His Sister, Miss
Julia Corwin, Badly Injured.

A runaway that was attended with
| serious results happened yesterday noon
on upper Canaan street when horse
belonging to John Corwin, of No. 4, ran
away. The owner, accompanied by his
sister, Julia, were on their way to this
city in single rig drawn by a spirited
animal. AS they were coming down the
steep incline at No. 4 the horse took
fright and made a dash for liberty.
Mr.. Corwin was the first to be thrown
out and was viciously kicked by the in
furiated horse. The animal continued
on his mad run until Pender's store
was reached. Here the rig was upset
and Miss Corwin was pinned beneath it.
The horse was momentarily stopped
but broke away from it's captors and
ran over the hill toward the silk mill.
Miss Corwin was picked up and car
ried into Pender's from, where she
was afterward removed to Emergency
hospital
On examination her cheek bone was
found to be broken and the face badly
laceratcd. Conclusion of the brain is
also feared but 1t is too early to judge
as yet. Her entire body suffered from
the unfortunate accident. Mr.. Corwin
was taken to his home at No. and up
to this hour the extent of his injuries
cannot be learned.

HEART STIMULANT.
Cold Applications Are Superior to
Draughts Of Alcohol.

From Health.
There is a deep-seated belief amount
ing almost to superstition that alco-
hol Is a very important heart stimu-
liant, especially when this organ is
weak. Winternitz. the great authority
on hydro therapy in Germany has
often told us of the very great value of
cold as a heart stimulant or tonic and
that 1t is far superior to alcohol In this
respect. DR., Kellogg gives the method
of application as follows:
"The application consists of a COM
press applied to the portion of the chest
wall over the heart. This comprises
the space bounded by the second rib
above, the right border OF the sternun,
line falling one-half inch to the right
OF the nipple, and the sixth rib below.
The compress should be large enough
to cover this space, and to extend at
least two inches outside of it. Ordi-
narily the best effects are produced by
employing water at temperature OF
about sixty degrees. The compress
should be wrung moderately dry, and
should be very lightly covered. 1t is
desirable that cooling by slow evapor-
alton should be encouraged, and be
continued for some time"
DIR. Kellogg continues: l"In Germany
and France 1t Is the custom to admin
lister alcohol to the patient just before
putting him In cold bath. Some prac-
titioners, as Winternitz. administer but

WATCHING THE PRICES
Sugar has Advanced and May go
Higher-Salt Trust at Work.

Local merchants are watching
the auctuation sof sugar and salt in
the price scale. Sugar, which has
been for some time at 81. so recent
ly advanced to IS per sack. The
tenor of the dispatches seem to in.
dicate further advances. A late
one says that big wholesale firm
in the East bought an immense
stock of sugar during the late ad-
vance. and that in expectation of
another of the kind expects to make
a pile of money. 1t also says that
sugar on the New York market,
in spite of the recent advance is
very firm, and that it is expected to
go higher, considering the statistics
of stocks on hand. Last year, the
price stood steadily for sometime at
$6.75 per sack in the local market,
and both dealers and consumers are
hoping that the experience is not to
be repeated.
Salt is also a staple whose price
is considered a trife uncertain.
The price Of stock salt, not long
ago was $1,25 per sack. Before the
Salt trust was formed it was as low
as45 cents per sack. Recently the
price, on account of opposition from
local firms in salt works in Califor-
mia declined to S1.1o, at which fig
ure it now stands. A dispatch yes
terday, however, relates that the
Federal Salt trust is negotiating a
deal by which the independent
California works are to be absorbed
by the Trust. and that the Pacific
Coast market will thereafter beoon-
trolled by the combination. 1t also
adds that jump in the price will
probably result if the deal material
ICES. With table salt at $3.50 and
stock salt at $1.1o per sack already,
both dealers and consumers hope
that any coming change in figure
may be for a lower instead of
higher price.
