PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Treatment of Fever.


Only the most general rules
can be laid down regarding the
measures to be adopted in the
treatment of cases of fever. A
rule which is of very general ap-
plication and which represents
a medical practice Of great an
tiquity, is that Of administering
at the commencement Of fever
symptoms saline aperient. A
dose of sulphate Of magnesia or
sulphate Of soda, will serve to
clear the system and assist In
reducing the temperature. 9th
erwise a dose of calomel--say,
two or three grains-will attain
the same end.
Where 1t Is desirable to re-
duce the fever temperature AGO.
mite may be employed. Fifteen
drops of the tincture of aconite
are mixed with two ounces Of
water, and a teaspoonful Of this
mixture, but no more, may be
administered every quarter Of
an hour for the first hour and
once an hour afterward for three
or four hours. by which time the
temperature should be visibly
affected toward its lowering. By
way of fastening the develop
ment of the fever. in simple
cases, a tepid bath or mustard

who have followed the re-
cent startling reports of strange
cures that have been brought
about by the use of the new Root
Juice medicine, which has created
so much excitement in Atlanta
and other places. The following
descriptions of its remarkable eff
feet will be found most interesting.
Mr.. Albert Timlick, Cantrall, ILL.,,
says regarding his experience:
my condition was such that |
could not keep down a glass of
water. | had suffered for two
years and tried many kinds of
medicines without benefit. l was
almost dead one evening, when |
sent for a bottle of the Root Juice
and felt better as soon as | had
had taken three or four doses. |
kept on using it and now | can
keep anything on my stomach.
Root Juice has done wonders for
me-"
Mr.. D. P. Kerr, of Bellfontaine,
O., tells the following story of his
experience: Il was the victim of
severe stomach and kidney trou-
BILE and grew weak, thin and
nervous from the long and con-
tinuous suffering. My stomach
was sore and painful. Most of
time | could not digest my food.
| would get up in the morning
with a headache and so weak |
could scarcely dress myself. |
frequently had bilious spells,
coated tongue, bad taste in my
mouth and smothering sensation.
My kidneys would act often but
very scant and painful"
Il spent many dollars for medi-
cines and treatment but could not
even get relief. When this new
medicine, Root Juice, became
known here, | was one of the first
to get it. Before long | noticed
an Improvement. | am now on
my fourth bottle and feel much
better in every way. My appetite
is good, l sleep well, eat what l
want and digest my food. The
soreness has gone from my stom-
ach and my kidneys no longer
give me any trouble. | am free
from headaches, am gaining in
strength and have gained in
weight"
Others who have used it for
rheumatism say that its effect is
marvellous and that after taking it
a short time the pain and soreness
vanish. The stiffness goes and
the swelling soon disappears, the
FONTS and limbs become timber
and strong and the general health
improves.
AT any good, up-to-date drug
store all persons interested can
octain full information regarding
the juice treatment. Large three
