 ihk ,TH. Patigu^l^IncB^BtieB. ^; %â-  The following Irisa. remaiks are-qnot«d from Htcdth, an V^i^uh v^otAikj devoted 'io scientific hygiene '!*•' "A cause of imperfect digestion b fa- tigue. When we start on a walk it does not matter much whether the road is rough or not any little obstacle is avoided with ease and we thread our way over rough stones, through tangled heath, or over a quaking bog, without difficulty. Our nervous sys- tem is in full 'igor, and preserves perfect co-ordination among the movements of the different parts of the body; so that one helps the other, and all difficulties are surmount ed. But when we are tired a little rough- ness in the road will causjp us to stumble, and an unexpected stone may give us a sud- den fall. The wearied nervous system no longer co-ordinates the movements of. the various parts of the body, that they may work together for a common end. " The same thing occurs with the various parts of the intestinal canal. If the nervous system is exhausted by previous fatigue, or ' debilitated by illness, the requisite co-ordin- ations may not take place, and biliousness or indigestion may be the result. How oft- en do we find the meal taken by a person immediately after a long railway journey disagrees with him, and either causes sick- ness or diarrhoea, or a bilious headache Forty winks after dinner is not always a bad thing but forty winks before dinner is cer- tainly much better. "How often do men who have worked hard all day, with their mental faculties constantly onthe stretch, go home and have dinner forthwith I Exhausted as they are, how can they eat They ought to make a •point of having a little rest at home before .dimie." ' ' There is grave truth in these remarks, and they should be well laid to heart by -those who are compelled to- work at high pressm-e, and thus faU. in that repair of the 'â-  bodily waste which lies at the foundation of health. But mental emotions and the play â-  of mind may in their turn produce disturb- ances of the body's duties in the way of food digestion. Here, again, the views ex- pressed teem with a common sense and philosophy which commend them to the •thorough appreciation of those who find di- gestion to fail from the nervous influences that chase one another and career over the surface of the mental atmosphere. " Effects, somewhat similar to those of fatigue, may be produced by depressing or disturbing mental emotion, or bodily condi- tions. We know how readily excitement of almost any kind will destroy the appetite of some people, and depressing emotions will d it. "From this it would seem to be equally probable that various emotions affect special parts of the digestive system. A strong im- pression of disgust may excite vomiting compassion is said to produce movements of gas in the small intestine worry is know to affect the liver and Dr. Brunton gives some countenance to the popular notion that jaundice may be brouglit on through a men- tal cause, illustrated for example, by anxi- ety. The old adage respecting the wisdom cf maintaining an easy mind if we would grow fat, has therefore a physical basis. It is the surest of inferences that the mind and nervous system Avhich aie allowed to remain placid and iinniffled, are most likely to be found presiding over a botly and processes which respectfully live and act in a healthy and normal fashion. If care really kills us, it seems probable that its method of slaught- er is largely that of destroying the harmony of those functions on which the proper nu- trition of otir bodies depend. " A Wet Sheet Pack This valuable pi'ocess in water treatment may be briefly described as follows Have ready two or three comfortables or thick blankets, one woolen blaidiet and a large linen or cotton sheet. It is important to be certain that the sheet is sufficiently large to extend twice around the patient's body. !More blankets are required in cool weather than in warm, although the pack should be taken in a room at temperate heat. Spread upon a bed or straight, broad lounge the comfortables, one by one, making them even at the top. Over them spread the woolen blanket, allowing its upper edge ' to fall an inch or two belov/ that of the last comfort-^ able. Wet the sheet in water of the proper temperature, wring out so that it will not drip, then gather the ends so that it can be quickly spread out. Xow place its upper end even with the woolen blanket, and spread it out on each side of the middle suf- ticiontlj" to allow the patient to lie down on his back, which he should quickly do, let- ting his ears come just above the upper bor- der of the sheet, and extending his limbs near together. Wrap the patient snugly, carefully first with the sheet and afterward with the blanket, taking care to exclude air from the neck to the toes. After the bath give the patient a cool or tepid sponge bath, or a wet sheet itib, and he svill probably feel ureatly refreshed and invigorated. This JEorm of Imth is particularly useful in dis- ceases of a f erbrile tj-pe. thj^sfartotment sixty recoveries o^tof sixl tkreie cases^ where it ^wm instlMtfd M4 (Uarried outftom tiie l)^iteiin5||^ the '" i' Salt and Digestion. If a piece of salt is taken into the mouth, the flow of saliva is temporarily increased, though it is not certain that the amount se- creted in any given time is any greater than it would have been had no stimulants been used. It has been argued, also, that the effect of salt on the gastric juice in the sto- mach is the same, and that its use promotes digestion. Some recent experiments, how- ever, on a man who had an artifical opening into his stomach to supply food, which he could not take through the mouth, seems to negative this assumption, and that salt hinders the secretion of gastric juice and di- gestion rather than promotes them. If the amount of salt is considerable, digestion almost ceases. Experiments like these have great value, for they help to clear away the superstitions of past ages, which seem to be held bv the educated and the ignorant alike. "W -tit^ CL^ Biphtheiia. M. Delthil, of Paris, haa become famous for his success in the cure of this disease. Large flat dishes, filled with spirits of tur- pentine, are placed in different parts of the room sponges wet with it are placed at each side of the patient's head, and it is even used to swab the throat. M. Delthil claims for " Heah am a petishun to de nex' Legisla- chur' signed by twenty -eight cnll'd men of Battle Creek," said Brother G a r dne r as silence feu npon Paradise Hall. "It am a petishun praj'in' dat body to restore capital punishment. I hope dat ebery member of dis club will add his signatiir' to it. If dar am one fing more dan anoder wanted in de Stait of Michigan to-day it am a hangman who understands his bizaess. De want of sich a man, together with juries who won't permit deir sympathies to run away wid deir common sense, am bein' felt to-day in. almost ebery county in de Stait.

De main pint, ar- ter you am sartin of. his guilt, am to hev him well hung by de neck. We will now take up de miscellaneous bimess an' seek to cl'ar off de Secretary's desk." GIVEADAM IS THREATEXED. Giveadam Jones notified the meeting that he was in receipt of the following let- ter, dated at Halifax and written in blood- red ink It has been decreed, by virtue of the Grand Council, that you shall meet your doom by the hands of our Worthy Grand Assassin. So by faith shall it come to pass as we say it. R. G. S. We are desirous that you should have time to give thoughts to your soul's best wishes. The Grand Deliverer of Orders shall in course notify you of the date fixed for your journey to the mysterious destina- tion of your kind. You will therefore pre- pare for the promised future. G. The Grand Scriptorial Deliver will do duty to your soul's wishes. By order, Lazzie, R. W. G. Fiend Lodge 444. The letter reached his cabin during hi^ temporary absence, and his wife opened and read it. When he came home he found her unconscious, and for three days her life was despaired of. He had been greatly worried himself, sometimes being inclined to flee to the West. " Brudder Jones, you stay right heah,' replied the Presideiit. "Inde fust place, we can't spar' you, an' in de next place, if you am assassinated you shall hev a funeral to be proud of. It; may be dat you am marked as a victim, but I wouldn't worry over it. Jist put a pa'r o' brass knuckles in your pocket an' keep j'our eyes peeled o' nights, de assassin who tackles you will think a brick house has hit him on de neck. " dox't tkcst him. The Secretary annouced the following SissoxviLLE, Kaxawha Co. W. Va. Brother Gardner. Dear SiKâ€" At a meeting of " Whitewash Club" Xo 7'201 I was directed to inquire of your Recommendation Committee whether or no they had given Brother Col. Andy Ray a certificate of moral reputation. He is canvassing our community with a wind- mill. Already he owes Brother Jenks two weeks' board, and Brother Sam Jones, the liarber, has refused to shave him until we hear from yoxi. He claims that the " mill" will blow lime out'n of a whitewasher's eyes, and all seeds cleaned, from a mustard up to a large sized 'tater. As you have been sitting under the dripping of lectures on cyclones and other wind currents, we desire your advice before purchasing. We number sixty-three members, and all be- long to the Baptist Church except fifty- nine. It's time to suspect something when a man weighing 187 pounds lays down his whitewash brush and goes into the wind business. P. Henry Floyd, Sec'y. The Secretarj' was instructed to reply that the club had no knowledge of any such man as Col. Andy Ray, nor did it desire to express an opinion on his invention. While he passed as an individual the club would not go out of its way to whack him, but in case he claimed membership, or pretended that his mill was indorsed by the club, his sorrows and tribulations would begin at once. The thanks of the club are also due to "G. G.," of Alabama, who has forwarded a hair brush said to be 4,500 years old. A XEW POE3I. The receipt of the following touching poem was announced, and Waydown Bebee was authorized to set the same to music HI DAR CHIPMONK. BY S.VLAMAXDER SMIFFIX.

The great reputation of Briggs' Electric Oil is such that it has induced unprincipled persons to adopt other names as near as possible. The proprietors of Briggs Electric Oil have the name and style of the Electric Oil registered both in Canada and the United States, and no one can use it but themselves. Others hearing of the success of Briggs' Electric Oil have adopted other names similar, such as " Tdec- tric Oil," Electron Oil," c., and are striving to induce the public to buy them instead of the gei nine Electric Oil. In fact so determined were they that they brought a suit at Law, in the High Court of Canada, to deprive Briggs Sons of their right to control the same but the Courts and the Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa fully sustained their registered trade mark. Briggs' Electric Oil cures Rheumatism, Neuralgias Sprains and Bruises, complaints arrising from Cold,, such as Sore Throat, Cough, Asthma, Bronchitis and diificult breathing.
