REMEDIES OF THE DAYS PAST
Among Ancient Remedies Used
fer Cure Of Ailments.

Quaint malady remedies of the past,
many OF which led TO wealth on the
part OF the inventors, were nearly oil
made Of berry plants and many OF
common weeds. Pokeberries, years
ago, were used TO make plaster for
a cancer and grapevine sap was pre-
pared for hair tonics To produce
sweat. tea was made from magnolia
leaves aud the berry OF this plant was
often mentioned M cure for con
sumption.
For t0Othsche. the veteran prac-
titioner used the bayberry root. Ber-
ries OF the cedar tree were supposed
10 stinfen the spine. and q purge was
made of alder buds or OF elderberries.
The goIdenrod, the MULLEN plant, the
burdock. and common weeds were also
held forth ss cures for various all
ments.
"TuscarUra rice" invented by o Phil
adelphia woman. and held forth az q
cure for tuberculosis, enabled the prac-
titioner 70 secure fortune for her
self. II was nothing more than hom-
my made from Indian corn.

Alcohol Ina these days has attention
from government in diverse ways.

The opportunities discussed by the

are less known sources OF alcohol. For
example, there il the flower of the
mahus tree. which fiourishes in Hyder-
abad and the central part of India
This flower, when sun dried, contains
90 per cent OF its weight in ferment-
able sugar, and apparently is to be
gathered by the ton. Then there are
the fertile gases OF the coke ovens.
They are so rich in surprises to the
everyday man that IL is not very
startling 10 learn they contain ethyl
enc, which by synthetic processes
somewhat developed under the stress
OF war may be converted into ethyl
alcohol
With the coal beds about 10 pro-

To Extinouish Fires in Coal Mines.

The mud-iet seems TO have been
found especially adapted To extinguish-
ing fires in coal mines, hut II Is liable
to be ineffieiently applied. A recent
investigation shows that lime and ebay
should be included in the mud. The
usual success OF the mud-je in con-
trolling fire is largely due to the ac-
ton OF these cement materials In con
solidating loose particles. and closing
gas-emitting openings by forming a
cake over them. The refuse dust from
the cleaning Of blast-furnace gus, boil
or ash, sifted earth, and even eombus-
tible products like the refuse Of coal
washing. may make mp the bulk OF the
mud. A tank 81 mud with gravity
discharge is suggested as the ordinary
fire-hghtins plant, though steam or
compressed air may be used.
