the wearer 10 bring the bodice into line

PATCHING SCREENS.

To patch wire screens cut a square
from the wire cloth or an old discarded
screen, about three inches longer on
each side than the hole to be patched.
Pull out the wires on the square, max
ing a fringe about three inches deep.
Bend the fringe back. push through
the meshes Of the screen around the
hole and press down firmly on the other
side. This makes a neat patch and is
easily done.

I'M treatment has been used in cases
of. erysipelas and possibly one or
two other diseases, but so far as
"a known has never been used in a
typhoid fever case before.
The patient was boy Of IS years
whose sister had recovered from ty-
ptoid fever early In summer and
whose younger brother had succumb-
cd to the disease about a week be-
fore Dr.. Lindsay took hold of the
case. At this time the patients
temperature was 103 and was rap-
idly rising. BY constant use of ice
baths the temperature was prevent
ed from exceeding 104 on the three
following days.
At seven o'clock on the afternoon
cs the third day 3OO,000,0O0 dead
typhoid germs were injected into the
system Three hours later there
twas an evidence OF reaction and the
patient began to complain of a pain
near the heart and one-eight Of a
grain Of morphine was injected, af-
ter which the patient said that he

AT 10 o'clock in the morning Of
the following day the temperature
was 104, and by evening had fallen
to 101 IL. The next morning the
temperature was 100, and two days
later was normal. There Is no doubt,
Dr. Lindsay said, but that the seruiu
treatment has a scientific effect. He
said that next time, however, he
would not use as many dead typhoid
germs as 300,000,000.
