TREATMENT OF BRONCHITIS
Simple Remedies Which May BE ADJ
ministered with Beneficial
Effect.

The treatment appropriate for an at
tack of acute bronchitis, or cold on the
chest, varies somewhat according to
the stage of the disease.
In the beginning, says Youths Com
panfon, the mucous membrane of the
bronchial tubes is congested and swollen
and usually quite dry. The secretion
of phlegm is scanty, and the cough,
which may be very teasing in charac-
ter, brings up but little expectoration.
There is generally some pain in the
chest, or at least feeling of soreness
and rasping sensation while cough
ing; and the obstruction to the bron.
membrane, and perhaps plugs of thick
phlegm, gives rise to more or less diff
Guilty in breathing
The aim of treatment at this stage
is to a''loosen" the cough by bringing
about an increased secretion. This is
best effected by warm drinks and the
inhalation of warm vapor, medicated
or not, as may be thought best. Hot
lemonade (without whisky, hot milk
or simple hot water, slipped as hot as can
be borne, will render good service.
The patient, of course, should remain
in the house; and preferably in one
room with warm, equable temperature,
so as to avoid exposure while perspir-
ing. If the attack is at all severe much
time will be saved by going to bed for
a day or two. If there is much pain
or soreness, rubbing the, chest with
some liniment will afford relief; but
sometimes cloths wrung out of hot wa
ter and sprinkled with four or five drops
of turpentine, or else thin f1axseed poul-
tees will work better Inhalations of
warm vapor from Group kettle or from
a pitcher of boiling water are often re-
quired. A teaspoonful of the compound
tincture of benzoin> or some oil of
eucalyptus may be added to the boiling
water.
At the onset the patient should take a
mild purgative, and attention must be
given to the bowels throughout the at
tack. Later, when the cough is loose
and the secretion abundant, the treat
ment must be sustaining; the patient
should have plenty of good, substantial
food, and should drink freely of cool
water
Sometimes drugs in the> form Of So
called expectorants are needed in the
early stages, and others to check secre-
ton in the later stages, but all cough
mixtures are more or less bad for the
stomach and are to be avoided if pos
sible; and especially bad are paregoric
and other preparations of opium. They
are sometimes necessary in certain
cases, but what these cases are must be
left to the doctor to decide.

PURE BLOOD.
Blood impurities Of Springtime-
Cause, Prevention
and Cure.

DR.. Hart1nan's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was hisrecent
lecture on the blood impurities of spring.
The doctor said iu substance thatevery
spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations of winter, derang-
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, oyertaxing the kid
neys, interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulation of the
blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring
fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
ton, that tired feeling, blood thicken-
ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys-
peptic and constipated; sometimes he is

DISTINCTION Of cut-worms.

Some insects that cannot be reached
by direct applications to their food
plants may be reached indirectly. Cut
worms, for instance, are unusually fond
of bran, preferring it to their normal
green food. Mix up thoroughly one
pound of paris green or white arsenic
with SO pounds of bran; moisten with
sugar water until it forms, mush that
can be ladled out without dripping. A
spoonful to hill will protect any kind
of plants growing in or on it, ana will
clear a field of the worms in 48 hours.
The sugar water is not absolutely neces-
sary, but serves to hold the bran to-
gether and to keep it attractive for a
longer time. Chickens should be kept
out of fields where this mixture is used
and this warning applies to other stock
as well.-Prairie Farmer

weak, nervous and depressed; and again
he may have eruptions, swellings and
other blood humors. Whichever it is,
the cause is the same-effete accumula-
lions in the blood.
Nothing is more certain within the
whole rangeof medicalscience than that
a course of Peruna in early springtime
will perfectly and effeetually prevent
or cure this almost universal affection.
Everybody feels it in some degree.
A great majority are disturbed COM
siderably, while large per cent. of the
human family are made very miserable
by this condition every spring.
Peruna will prevent it if taken in
time.
Peruna will cure itiftaken as directed.
Perunai is the ideal spring medicine of
the medical profession

In a paper on this insect, read by DR..
J. H. Funk, before the Pennsylvania

The general appearance of badly

the appearance found during winter.
The scale is circular-one thirty-second
to one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter.

more elongated, with the nipple at ore

Origin of the Muff.

The muff when first introduced was
the exclusive property of the nobility
and originated in Venice. These muffs
were very small. and consisted of a
single piece of velvet, brocade or silk,
lined with fur, and the openings fas-
tened with rich jewels. Such arrange
ments came in during. the early part
of the seventeenth century. but in the
previous century the ladies frequently
carried a piece of rich fur, which they
used either as muff Or neckpiece.
