THE LITTLE DOCTOR.
s
Smanpoy.-The worst case can be
cured in three days by the use of
cream of tartar. One ounce Of tartar
dissolved in a pint of hot water and
drunk at intervals when cold is a GER
tain, never failing remedy. 1t has
cured thousands, never leaves a mark,
never causes blindness and avoids
tedious lingering.
Earache-Take FIVE parts of cam
phorated choral, thirty parts of gly-
cerine and ten parts of oil of sweet
almonds. Saturate a piece of cotton
and induce well into the ear. Rub
the liquid also behind the ear. The
pain is relieved as II by magic and IL
there is Inflammation it often sub
sides quickly.
Billiousness.-For a liver flush to
relieve %billiousness and kindred COM
plants try this prescription: Hydrarg
protoidid eight grains, extract of conf
(squibbs) ten grains and po%socotrine
aloes. Mix and fill No. ten capsules.
Take one or two at bedtime according
TO severity Of the case and follow in
the morning with a dose of EPSON
sails before breakfast.
Cocaine-The increased use is de-
plCrable. Large quantities are sold in
the form of patent medicines, partic-
ularly in remedies for catarrh. One
druggist sold last year $4,000 grains
at a profit of sG.120. The retail drug
gist. by dispensing cocaine at a ire
mendous profit, has in many instances
built up a thriving business on the
wrecked lives of the victim.
Neuralgia.-This trouble is almost
always benefited by iron. Here is a
simple tonic: Citrate of iron, two
drachms; tincture of nux vomica, one
drachm; syrup of lemon, one ounce;
full after every meal. This is very
mild and to do good must be taken
co%nsecutively until the bottle is fin
ished.
A Remedy for La Grippe.-Thirty
minims of carbonate of creosote mix.
ed carefully with four ~teaspoonfuls of
honey or mucilage IA be taken in
doses of a quarter teaspoonful three
times a day. See that the creosote is
well mixed every time it is taken. A
more exact way is to drop two drops
with a dropper into a teaspoonful of
jelly, oil, honey or gum water each
time and mix it thoroughly.
Nervous Observation-Disclosures
Loeb's latest discovery is that such
nervou diseases as st. Vitus' dance,
paralysis, etc. are caused by a defic-
iency of calcium salts in the blood.
still it by no means follows that dis.
orders of the nervous system will be
cured by a comparatively simple mat.
ter as the introduction of calcium
salts into the circulation. When things
are out of whack generally in the
human body and especially in the ner-
vous system medication has a some
what lllDlttu value. but IL Ut. IOeD
has really discovered what badly ad-
justed nervous systems need and the
way to give it to them he has lone
more for the health of humanity than
can be told. His theory will rank
with the discovery of anaesthetics and
the development of aseptic surgery in
its her aicent effects upon the life of
man. Butt remains to be proven.
Deadly Headache Powders.-Prac-
tically every n of the headache pow
ders on the market contains a~cetanilid
or some other coal tar product simil-
arly affecting the heart. The drug
costs but thirty cents a pound and
from five to fifteen grains is consid-
cred a fair dose. Even a five grain
dose may be deadly to a person with
sever heart trouble. The drugs ac-
ton on the human system is to lower
the blood pressure, which is usually
TO BE DEPENDED ON.
