Bed Sores.

Bed sores are sores that form on
those parts Of the body that are under
most in the position taken up by the
bed occupant AS a rule they never
form unless the sufferer is confined to
one position. When set up they are
most distressing. Whisky or brandy
used as a lotion to the healthy skin
once daily will prevent them. When
there are commencing sores they should
be treated with white Of egg mixed
with powdered alum. The two should
be well rubbed up together. If one has
not a mortar and pestle 1t is a good
plan to mix the things In basin with
bone knife handle.

Sir Walter SCOTS daughter once
spoke in his hearing Of something she
could not endure because II was vul-
gar. "My dear" replied her father.
''you speak like a very young lady. Do
you know, after all, the meaning OF
this word 'vulgarr II is only common.
Nothing that Is common, except wick
