Treatment by Which the Affection May
Be Overcome.
There is no cure for suffering. This
does not mean that no sufferer can be
cured-far from it--but that there is no
treatment which is sure to cure. If a
sufferer be taken in childhood, when
the affection is first noticed, and care
fully treated he can sometimes be cur

DR. Frank A. Bryant OF New York,
writing in the Medical Record, says
the first thing TO do is to make sure
that there are no distractions in the
throat or nose, such as enlarged ton

taught to breathe through his nose,
deeply and slowly. as habit. He must
not be allowed to speak when excited
nor when laughing or crying or in tie

must never he tickled. All causes Of
excitement must be removed. Fresh

school and offered for sale 100 chances

The Markets


Wheat is steady at yesterdays prices
and growers are disposed to hold for
better prices. Owing to this, sales were
light and they will probably continue
so until either the price drops or the
demand starts movement Hops are
quoted at 20 cents and several sales are
reported at that price. One sale Of 81
bales is reported here yesterday at II
cents.
Thornton & Manger, Of London, say:
General trade remains in q deadlock.
Merchants have no encouragement from
brewers, and growers mostly maintain
firm attitude; very few have pressed
for offers. 1t is admitted that every
hop viii be wanted, and with this mild
weather brewers stocks must naturally
be steadily diminishing, Foreign mar.
kets are firm and active. Imports arc
heavy because Of early purchases, but
they viii be the sooner over
