Oil Ruhhinn.

Clothing exposes us to great dan
gers. We wear too many clothes.
We dress too warmly, so the skin be-
comes relaxed and loses the power to
take care of itself, and this Is the rea-
son oil rubbing is necessary. The
simple removal of thin layer of oil
by hot bath may be sufficient to
cause man TO take cold, so this must
be replaced by special oiling, or
some other treatment, in cold wealth
er.
People who are very susceptible to
cold, should be rubbed with oil after
each bath. Oil rubbing is especially
needed in cases in which the skin is
dry, through deficient activity of the
oil glands of the skin. Great care,
however, should be taken to avoid too
vigorous rubbing in the application Of
the oil, as sweating Is very easily pro.
duced, to the disadvantage of the pa
tient. In the treatment of infants and
children, a married and most favor
able effect upon nutrition is produced
by oil rubbing. Application of oil
after cold baths encourages reaction.
In most cases Of chronic dyspepsia
when accompanied by emacation, in
diabetes, and in most cases in which
malnutrition with Gryness of the skin
Is a prominent feature, oil rubbing is
q valuable curative agency.

Horrors of the Cocaine Habit.

The following illustration of bad ad-
vice in the lecture room is probably
not an exceptional case. A professor
of materia medica lecturing on cocaine
called 1t one of the greatest of all
stimulants and perfectly harmless.
He cited his own experience of its
good effects, and advised the class to
test 1t personally in debility and ex-
haustion. or class of thirty-two who
listened to this advice, five became
cocaine takers within two years. Ten
years later thirteen Of this class were
drug and spirit takers. In all prob
ability, the use of cocaine was the
starting point of their additions,
-Four died from the direct use Of this
drug. Evidently more than half the
class had followed the advice of the
teacher and were wrecked. A few
years after, the professor became an
invalid and retired from the profess
sion, a victim of his own counsel and
confidence in cocaine.

Dor Watch.

Dog watch is a corruption of dodge
watch, and is the name given to two
short watches of two hours each on
shipboard-one from to p m. and
the other from 6 to p. IN. The dog
watches were introduced to prevent
the same men always keeping watch
at the same hours of the day; hence
on these occasions the sailors are said
to dodge the routine, or to be doing
dodge-watch.

Frequency Of tuberculosis.

From the Massachusetts Medical
Journal we abstract the following: At
the second annual American Congress
on tuberculosis held in New York in
1902, DR.. Pryor stated that $4,000 per.
sons die annually in the State of New
York of this disease. One-siXth of all
the deaths in the world are due to this
one disease. Statistics show that in
France 100000 die every year of this
disease; in Germany, 10000; in the
United States, 100000; in Paris, H.
600; in London, $4,000; New York
City, 5000
OF deaths between the ages OF fif-
teen and forty, tuberculosis claims one
third; between fifteen and thirty-fve,
one-half. The mortality from tubercu-
losis alone exceeds that of war, plague,
cholera. famine, yellow fever and
smallpox.

Musical Fish.

Lake Batticalo. Ceylon, has the
probably unique distinction of being
the home of a musical fish. The
sounds emitted by these are said TO be
as sweet and melodious as those
which can can be produced by series
of Aeolian harps. Crossing the lake in
boat one can plainly distinguish the
pleasant sounds. If an oar is dipped
in the water the melody becomes
louder and more distinct.

that its employment in war was for

Tuberculosis Rightly classed.

The Health department of the city of
Philadelphia has decided that In future
tuberculosis shall be classed with
other diseases that are dangerous to
the public health, such as smallpox,
dlphtheria, scarlet fever, and other
contagious maladies. The law in
Pennsylvania and most other States of
the Union requires that every case Of
contagious disease shall be reported
TO the Health department. Hereafter
all cases of tuberculosis must be so
reported by the attending physician
The purpose of this law is to enable
the Health department to take neces-
eary steps to prevent the extension of
this disease by disinfection of the
apartments which have been occupied
by the patient, and by instruction of
the patient and the patients friends
how infection from the disease may be
avoided.
This law is a good one, and ought
TO be enforced in every civilized com
munity.

The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1905-12-13

Many farmers are constantly asking
the importer for pure bred draft and
coach mares. but the price most farm
ers want to pay will not justify the
importers In importing draft mares Of
any breed. 1t would be folly to import
cheap. small draft mares and the Big
heavy draft mares and young fillies
that will breed cost more in England,
France and Belgium than our farmers
want to pay. hence the farmers must
do without imported mares or buy
nome bred just as good. but these are
now much higher in price than last
year. and but few to be had at any
price. The farmers have blindly
looked for cheap draft mares, and have
cheated themselves every year out of a
colt worth the price of a good mare
rather than pay what they are worth
for breeding. A few farmers have had
the courage TO pay $1,000 apiece for
pure draft mares. and every colt is
worth that much ms soon as ii is three
years old. and two or three pairs OF
colts soon start good breeding stud
that breeds rapidly into money on a
large scale.--Live Stock Journal.
