How the erahman Cleans His Teeth.
When the Brahman cleans his teeth
he must use small twig cut from one
of a number of certain trees, and be
fore he cuts it he must make his aci
known to the gods Of the woods. He
must not indulge in this clearly habit
every day. He must abstain on the
sixth, the eighth, the ninth, the four
teenth, the fifteenth and the last day
Of the moon, on the days Of new and
full moon, on the Tuesday in every
week, on the day Of the constellation
under which he was born, on the day
of the week and on the day Of the
month which correspond with those Of
his birth, at an eclipse, at the conjunc-
ton Of the planets, at the equinoxes
and other unlucky epochs and also on
the anniversary of the death of his Ia
Their or mother. Any one who cleans
his teeth with his bit of stick on any
Of the above mentioned days will have
hell as his portion. = "Hindoo Man
ners," by Able Dubois.

Marshall Moore had seen him going

suspected he was after opium. The
colored man was followed by the Of

officers broke into his place a white

1t has been found after much expert

conditions are capable OF producing,
through absorption, disturbances OF circu-

its associated parts, which result In
headache. complete absence Of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach contents was
found, and when this acid was prescribed
complete recovery followed.
The theory advanced for the beneficial
action of this drug is that ptomaincs or
toxines OF heterogeneous exert an III
furious influence only when there Is de
ficiency In the quantity Of free mineral
acid in the stomach. Headache may also
be prevented In such cases by admins
