SalicYlic Acid in Food.

From the Charleston News and Courier
The question whether or not salicylic
acid in food is injurious to health is one
which concerns nearly every person
whether he knows it or not, as the sub
stance is very generally used for the pres
ervation of perishable food products, es-
pecially meats, canned goods etc.
In paper read a short time ago before
the Liverpool Medical Institution. and
printed in the Lancet. Drs. C. J. Macales-
ter and t. R. Bradshaw discussed the
question from practical point of view,
and their observations, which are con-
veniently summarized in the New York
Medical Record, are reassuring 1t was
found, we are told, that the digestive pro-
cesses proceed in presence of the acid in
practically saturated solution Il to 500
and that this exerted no greater retarding
effect than many articles, such as table
salt, that are always present in mixed
diet. Further, it was found by actual
test that as much as five grains of the
acid could be taken daily by an adult and
proportionate amounts by children with
cut doing harm or causing i'll health. The
use of the acid as a food prcservative is
justified by the two writer's on the ground
that it places food products in reach of
the poorer classes at moderate cost. The
Medical Record remarks that the argu-
ment in favor of the acid and of other
preservatives, that they place inaccessible
and expensive articles within easy reach
of the poor is hardly foreible enough TO
offset the danger of fayoring adulteration
in general, and giving unprincipled manu-
facturers the freest possible opportunities
for the fraudulent practices to which they
are so VIGOROUSLY addicted. This is true.
of course, but still there is much comfort
in the two doctors assurance that one of
the preservatives in most common use is
not 50 bad as we had been led to believe
Of it.

NEW GIFTS TO THE NORMAL.

In his annual report to the trustees,
nomenal success of the State Normal and
Industrial College, made two announce
ments that will be read with pleasure by
all who believe in the education of wo-
men. The first was that the General
Education Board has given $500 to
aid the college in maintaining a Normal
Training Department. 1t had already
been announced that Prof. VIM. c. Ham
mel, of Baltimore, had been chosen as
the head of that department. He is east
~ the first man in his department in
the South. Besides being an enthusiastic
of a series of cheap text books Tor agri-
cultural education, adapted to the public
schools, that have the warmest common
dation of the men best qualified to Judge
OF their merits. The need of the improv-
ing public schools in the rural districts is
practical instruction in agriculture. Mr..
Eammel understands that need and his
system is believed to be peculiarly adapted
to teach teachers how to teach elementary
well as instructive to the children. The
coming to North Carolina of Mr.. Hammel
il matter of the highest Importance at
this time and DR.. McIver has not done
the State better service than to secure
80 valuable an acquisition to- his already
strong faculty.
The other gift from the General Edu-
cation Board is a conditional one of
81 500 to establish a loan and scholarship
fund, available when an additional $500
has been raised by other friends of the
institution. The income from a fund OF
$4,000 would assist many young women
who are seeking to obtain an education
by their own efforts. We have no doubt
that DR.. McIver will secure from friends
of the institution enough to guarantee
the gift from the General Education
Board.
The wonderful success of the Normal
and Industrial College shows that the dis
tinguishing characteristic Of the present
educational revival is devotion to the
education of woman. The work done by
this college has stimulated interest in
Wcmans education and has been felt by
every womans school and college in North
Carolina.

TORTURING

Skin, Scalp and Blood
HumOurS
Speedily Cured by GutiCdra
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as n eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worm
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt Eheum,- all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with bot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep in the seyerest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours Of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physi-
clans fail.
