PREFACE.

t This little book is issued by the publishers with the
nope that it will prove an acceptable acquisition to every
household in which it may find its way. It is full of
valuable information and is written in a plain, concise
•cd accurate manner by one in the profession and we are
iure that it will be felt as a " friend in need ' ' in all cases
of sickness or disease with which it treats. It deals with
all the principles to be observed in nursing the sick and
gives accurate instructions of how to earn/ them out
There is a chapter on ' * Nursing at Home, ' wtiicli deals
In gene*'«iities only, a chapter on ' * Ventilation, ' ' which
giv s very explicit directions how to supply the sick room
wi',ti pure fresh air without exposing the patient to
draughts, and thereby endangering his life, and other
equally important instructions on this subject. Then
there are chapters on how to " bathe " a sick person, the
care of the " bed," how to prepare all kinds of " poul-
tices," " stimulating applications," on "Food" and how
to prepare it, as well as chapters upon "Accidents,"
"Emergencies" and "Disinfection," each and every
subject being carefully and fully explained. Making it
very simple and easy to carry out by the most inexper-
ienced person, and we feel confident that it will be highly
appreciated by all those who need such instructions in
the cate of the sick.

CHAPTER I.

NURSING AT HOME.

,"■'•-.■•■ •"'..•prA-

^N the care of the sick, the nurse is second in importance only
to the doctor. Very often as far as the comfort of the pa-
tient is concerned, she occupies the first place. The doctor
comes, prescribes, and goes. It is many hours before the
patient sees him again, and in the meanwhile he is left to the ten-
der mercies c f the nurseo

However wise and judicious the doctor's method of treatment
may be, the full eflfect cannot be obtained unless it is intelligently
carried out. If he orders a poultice, in inflammation of the lungs^
he wants a warm, soft mass of the proper consistency applied, so
that it will not soil the skin or clothing of the patient. He wants
it changed at regular intervals, and in such a way as not to give
the sufferer cold every time it is removed. Unless the nurse knows
how to manage it, the poultice is likely to do as much harm as
good. - :: ■■■■': :"■*■•' ^ - "" •-''- n),. •-' -.il'rrf'jj.

Let any woman ask herself, " could I give a bath to a person in
bed without wetting the clothing or change the under sheet while
the bed was occupied?" and she will smile at the seeming im-
possibility. When once she is shown how to do it, she only won-
ders that she did not discover the right way herself. Sick persons
in well-to-do families are sometimes allowed to wear the same
clothing for a week and to remain unwashed during a long illness,
because the friends believe it impossible to care for them without
injuring them. V: ? > • * ; , .-«.....

In this little book, practical directions are given for the perform-
ance of all these necessary offices. The knowledge of any of
them is not taken for granted, and the writer has tried to do it in
such a plain and simple manner that no one need mistake the
easiest way. ,, ,. ^^.c / .

CHAPTER II.

VENTILATION.

HE Tirst requisite iti the sick room i3 pure air. Kmanatious
from the body and the breath of the patient are constantly
tainting it, and it must be removed or else the soiled air
is inhaled over and over again, poisoning both sufferer
and nurse. Fresh air can be admitted only through the windows.
Two points must be observed. vSupply heat to keep the room at a
proper temperature, and protect the sick person from draughts.
Those iif^ied rarely take cold— never, if properly protected.

I,o\ver the window at tlie top a few inches. If the upper sash is
not made to open, remove the cleats underneath it and move them
iown the required distance.

Where the upper and lower sash lap, there is a space which ad-
niiis a constant current of fresh air. If the bed is near the window,
place a screen between them. If the weather is too cold to permit
of the window being kept open, cover the patient's head and all,
with an extra blanket, and open the window three or four times a
day, keeping on the extra covering until the room is warm again.
If a room is cold, it is no sign the air is fresh. Cold air may have
been breathed over and over until it isas impure as warm air. The
•Illy safety lies in constantly changing the air. A thermometer
should hang in every sick room and the temperature be kept at 68*,
except in fever, and then at 65". An open fire is the best heat pro-
ducer, because it helps to carry the bad air up the chimney and
acts as a ventilator as well. In summer, place a lighted lamp in the
fire place, or if there is a stove-pipe hole in the chimney, take the
tin stopper out of it. When the room is heated by a stove, a coil
of pipes, or a register, keep a saucepan of boiling water on it to gite
•ff steam to mdisten the air.

In order to keep the air pure, no vessel that has been used must
be allowed to remain in the room, a moment longer than is abso-
lutely necessary. A little disinfectant solution should be kept
standing in them. Covers should be provided, and the moment
tbe patient has finished using one, it should be carried away and
emptied, well scalded with boiling water and rinsed in the disin-
fectants. Vessels of the proper .shape for use in bed can be obtained
at a small expense, and no sick person should be allowtd to get out
of bed for any purpose whatever. It exhausts the strength un-

pans and urinals are very valuable, particularly the former, for use
-when the sufferer is thin and cannot bear the contact -with the hard
surface of an earthen one. They require to be rinsed in a strong
solution of chloride of lime or carbolic acid after each using.

If possible, the carpets should be removed from the floor and the
surface wiped every day with a damp cloth "wrong out of a solution
of corrosive sublimate. The woodwork should be dusted with &
similar cloth, and any article of furniture lightly gone over with the
same. This makes the room perfectly fresh and sweet. If the
carpet cannot be taken up, sweep with a carpet sweeper or a broom
covered with a cloth dampened in corrosive sublimate, and burn
the dust. Remove curtains from windows and bed, all draperies
and unnecessary pieces of furniture, to leave no hiding place for
dust. Perff ct cleanliness does much towards keeping the air iok
the room pure.

CHAPTER III. .

, ,, BATHING. _-.--/. . . •,: ,,^

>NLHSS the doctor specially forbids it, a sick person shouldf.

have a bath every day. This keeps open the pores of the.

skin, and enables the system to throw off through them.

a vast amount of waste matter wMch cannot be retained.
in the body without injury to it. A sponge bath can be easily and.
quickly given without causing an undue amount of fatigue.

Before beginning, collect at the bedside all the tilings that wilt
be needed : two blankets, two towels, a basin of tepid water, a
pitcher of warm water to replenish it as it cools, a wash cloth and
soap, Palino-Tar or PalmoSulphur soaps are valuable in diseases^
of the skin, and PalmoCatbolic soap in any infectious diseases, as-
scarlet fever or measles. They can be obtained at any drug store.
If the night clothes are to be changed, have the clean ones, aired:
and warmed, close at hand. .. j^;^^,, y. jv.r - L,t . . y,;';„j ^t.

Fold one of the blankets end to end, and beginning at the ends.
roll it about half its width. Move the patient over to one side or
the bed and tuck the upper bed clothes around him. On the cleared
spaco lay the blanket with the roll toward the patient. Tu«k the
free edge under the mattress. Lift the patient over the roll on the

NURSINCV THK SICK.

blanket. Utiroll it ou the other side. Lay the second blanket over
the upper bed clothes, and, holding it in place with one hand, draw
them away underneath it, leaving the patient covered with it alone.
A second blanket can be added if one seems too light a covering.

To remove the night-dress draw it up at the back until the whole
length lies in folds under the neck. Lay the arms above the head,
on the pillow. Raise the head with one hand, and with the other,
slip the folds over the head, holding them gathered in the hand
for the purpose. Keep the upper blanket well up to the chin, and
under its shelter draw the night-dress ofFthe arms and take it away.
Bathe the face, neck and ears carefully, and dry them. Pass the
hand holding the wash-cloth under the blanket and wash one arm;
wipe it, and then do the other. When this is finished bathe the
chest, turn the patient on the side and do the back ; also the back
of the thighs, drying each part before wetting the next. Turn
again on the back and bathe the front of the thighs, the legs and
feet. Attend carefully to the nails, paring them if necessary.

When it is desired to change the under sheet, have the clean one
rolled half way across from side to side. Lay the roll next the
patient, pushing the soiled sheet before it. Tuck the free edge
under the mattress, lay the patient on the smooth place, go to the
other side of the bed, pull off soiled sheet, unroll the fresh one, and
tuck the edge in firmly.

To change the upper sheet without exposing the patient, lay the
-clean one on top of the bed clothes with a blanket over it, and draw
them out underneath it.

Wash the teeth with a clean rag dipped in borax water, or what
is still better, get from your druggist a bottle of Alkaline and Anti-
septic Tablets. They are cleansing and very refreshing.

When the lips or skin are rough or chapped, moisten them with
Hind's Honey and Almond Cream, and repeat the application se-
veral times in the day.

In bathing a baby that is afraid of water, place a small blanket
over the tub, lay the child on it and gently lower it into the water.

When sponge baths are given to reduce the heat of the body in
fever, Alcohol or Bay rum is added to the water, and the skin ia^
not dried because the moisture evaporating helps to copl it.

CHAPTER IV.

THK BCD.

, 1 <"

JHB best bed for a sick person is a wire woven mattress with
a soft hair mattress over it. A feather bed should not be
used if it is possible to avoid it.

To make the bed, spread a clean sheet on the mattress^
tuck it under and pin it at the four corners underneath the mattress.
This keeps it smooth and tight, an important point in the preven-
tion of bed sores.

Rubber sheeting can be bought by the yard, and is not expensive.
Have a strip one yard wide and long enough to lie across the bed,
and tuck well under on each side. Fold this strip in a sheet,
and place it in the middle of the bed, pinning the ends under the
mattress on each side. This saves the lower sheet, and can be
easily changed with very little disturbance to the patient.

Tuck the top sheet in at the foot of the bed and leave the sides
free. Add as many blankets as are required, but no more. I'lor-
ence Nightingale sayS; " Feverishness is supposed to be a symptom
of fever ; nine times oat of ten it is a symptom of bedding."

Have one or two pillows as required. Do not let the invalid lie
with his head in a hole. Turn the pillows frequently to present a
cool, fresh surface to the hot face.

If the sufferer is very thin, a long, narrow pillow placed between
the legs to prevent the knees from touching, prevents chafing.
When the bed is frequently wet or soiled, it is well to keep an old
sheet folded several times under the patient or, to use a small one
as a napkin, arranging it like a child's. In these cases, special at-
tention must be paid to washing, drying and powdering the parts^
touched by the discharges. ^ ^/vi^;^;'

Continued pressure on any part of the body stops the circulation

of the blood through it, and as no nourishment is

SORES carried to it, the tissue dies. This is the reason why

bed sores form in those places where the weight rrsts

as the sick person lies in bed. The lower part of the spine, the hips,

elbows and heels must be bathed every day with alcohol, and when

that dries off, powdered with cornstarch. This helps to toughen-

the skin. The moment any redness appears, a wash made of equal

parts of Goulard Water and Tincture of Catechu, which can be ot>

tained from any druggist, should be used to still further harden it.

NURSING THE SICK.

The patie«t must be frequently turned on one side, to give the
affected partsrelief. Ifhe is too weak for Ibis, then a rubber cushioii,
Avilh a hole in the middle, must be placed under him, so that the
sore spot will rest over the hole. Thick pillows can be arrangeil
above and below, to take the weight off it, if a rubber cushion can-
Hot t)c had. ' ',"■:■ . '• ^r>|f:V.
> Keeping the cross sheet free from crumbs, the patient dry, well
Tubheil with alcohol and powdered, and when possible, frequent
change of position, will usually prevent them.

If, in vSpite of every precaution, the skin shows signs of cracking,
rub it with oxide of zinc ointment, and relieve it from pressure at
-any cost. / >.

If matter forms, wash it every day with w iter containing a little
carbolic acitl, and dress it with the oxide of zinc or boro-glyceride
ointment, spread on a piece of soft linen fastened on with strips of
adhesive plaster. Do not let this plaster ci'oss the sore, but strap
it along the sides of the square of the linen, leaving it long enough
to take ft firm hold on the well skin beyond.

Bed sores often take away the patient's last chance of life, by
exhausting his strength, so precautions against them cannot be
taken too soon. The points to be remembered are, keep the under
sheet smooth and dry ; change the position several times a day ; if
Ihis cannot be done, arrange something to take the pressure off the
part.

CHAPTER V.

POULTICES.

-)■•-.

>■ j

^IvAXSEED meal is the best material for poultices. Have
a sufficient quantity of water boiling in a saucepan ; a
pint is enough to make a good-sized poultice. Stir i«
handfuls of the meal until the njass is thick enough not
to run when spread, but not too stiff. It need not boil. Have
ready a square of cotton about two inches large r each way than
•the poultice is to be when finished. Spread the flaxseed on this
about half an inch thick, leaving a margin of cotton all around it.
Turn this margin up on the poultice like a hem to prevent its
running out. Have a square of cheese cloth or muslin to lay over
the poultice, to prevent the flaxseed from touching the skin.

If it is not applied to a discharging wound the flaxseed can be
©craped off the cotton into the saucepan when it is cold, and heated

agaiu, more water being added .f it is too stiflF, or meal if it is too
thin.

When onions are ordered, bake them until tender, mash with a
spoon, spread on the cotton, cover with muslin, and apply.

A poultice should always be changed before it gets cold, once in
two hours is a good rule if they are not ordered oftener. Have the

TATIONS.

fresh one ready to put on before removing the other, and bring it
to the bedside rolled up on a hot plate to keep it warm.

When a poultice is discontinued, dry the skin thoroughly, and
" cover the part with one or two thicknesses of flannel.

A poultice jacket is made of oiled muslin lined with cotton bat-
ting. Have it in two pieces to cover the back and chest, and fasten,
on the shoulders and under the arms with strings. Put the poul-
tices on underneath it, making them as large as is necessary.

It is a good plan to cover any poultice with a newspaper, folded
in flannel, to keep in the heat. If weight is no objection an India
Rubber Hot Water Bag, half filled with hot water, can be laid over
it. This prevents the need of changing it so frequently.

These are lighter than poultices, and more quickly got ready.
They must be changed very often as they cool al-
most immediately. Provide two pieces of flannel
large enough to be folded once, a stout towel, a ba-
sin, and a kettle of boiling water. I^ay the towel in the basin with
the ends hanging over the sides, in the middle of it place one piece
of the flannel folded, pour on enough boiling water to cover it.
Take the dry ends of the towel, one in each hand, and twist them
in opposite directions at the same time lifting it out of the water.
This will squeeze it perfectly dry, without burning the hands. Un-
twist the towel, take out the hot, moist flannel, shake it and lay it
on the patient. After the fomentations arc discontinued, dry the
part and cover it with warm, dry flannel. See that the night-dress
and sheet are not wet.

Sometimes mustard is added \o the water when there is great
pain ; a heaping teaspoonful to the p'.at. The mustard water can
be heated more than once. ., .

A hot water bottle is invaluable as a means of applying dry heat.
Persons who suffer from sleeplessness usually have
DRY H EAT. cold feet. The hot water bottle relieves this symp-
tom by drawing the blood to them. The pressure on
the brain being lessened, sleep follows. The steady heat is very
soothing to sufferers from rheumatism, neuralgia, face-ache, or ear-
ache. The plain ones should be wrapped in a towel before apply-
ing.

When a hot water bottle cannot be obtained, a vStone jug or a
common bottle can be used, but it is a clumsy substitute, and the
weight is in many cases a great objection.

CHAPTER VI.

STIMULATriMG APPLICATIONS.

'EDICINAIv plasters come prepared ready to put on, and
ku^ the nurse has only to follow the directions in applying
them. Those of mustard should always be kept in
the house for an emergency. If it is a home made one,
take two spoonfuls of mustard to one of wheat flour, rub them
smooth with a little water, and with a knife spread the paste evenly
on a square of cotton. Cover it with a piece of thin muslin, and
turn the edges up as directed for a poultice. Lay it on the part
and examine it in a few minutes, to see that it is not blistering. As
soon as the skin is very red, remove it, and wipe the part dry with
a soft cloth. Twenty minutes is usually long enough to leave it on .
If the burning is intense after its removal, dust the place thickly
with flour or toilet powder. The D. & L. Menthol Plaster is used
with great success in all muscular pains, stiflFness, backache,
neuralgia, and rheumatism.

Wring a flannel out of hot water, sprinkle it thickly with Perry
Davis' Pain-Killer and apply. This is a good appli-

oBree cation, fof it does not blister, and is quickly made
ready.

To give an enema to a person in bed, lay the patient on the left
side, arrange the bed clothes carefully to prevent any
ENEMAS, unnecessary exposure, place a square of rubber
sheeting. to catch any drops that may fall. Oil the
nozzle and insert it gently. If it meets with any resistance withdraw
it partially, change the direction a little and try again. For a pur-
gative enema use from two to four pints of warm soap-suds. Fill
the syringe once or twice to expel the air before using it, and in-
ject the fluid very slowly. vV', ,.

After using, squeeze clean water through it a few times, wipe it
and hangit up by the open end to dry. s .■

When there is obstinate constipation, salt is added to the water,
or olive oil mixed with it, four tablespoonfuls to the pint.

Never use oil or turpentine in a soft rubber syringe. ^ . , „v .^ ,^,'

Starch and laudanum are used for prolonged diarrhoea. Thirty
drops of laudanum to four tablespoonfuls of thin, cold starch.

11 I

NURSING THIi SICK.

These are much used in uterine diseases. They can be given
with any bulb syringe, a Fountain or combination.
DOUCHES. Ifonehastobe given in bed, as is the case after
confinement, raise the hips on pillow or folded
Uanket, place a basin in position if a bed-pan is not obtainable, use
the vaginal nozzle. It is dangerous to give a douche with a nozzle
perforated at the end, as air may be injected into the uterus. The
water should flow out as rapidly as it flows in, and the douche be
continued until it comes away clear.

The bed must be protected with a square of rubber sheeting.

CHAPTER VII.

LIQUID FOOD.

^n serious illness, the stomach cannot digest solid food, and
life has to be supported upon fluids. It is vtry important
that the nurse should know how to prepare a variety, sa
that the patient may not become disgusted with any one
article of diet.

Milk alone will sustain life for a long time. Sometimes it is too-
rich and must be diluted with limewater, or otherwise prepared
for digestion. ' \ . ' .. , »^:«^-»''5"'?

To make limewater, procure a lump of lime,put it in an earthern
MILK AND jar and pour coldwater upon it. Let it stand until

LIME- it subsides ani the particles of lime fall to the bot-
WAT C R

torn. Pour off the clear liquid, strain and Ixjttle it.

The quantity of water put on the lime is of «o consequence. Add

been soaked in hot water until soft. Drive the cork in well and
tie it down with a strong string. Put it in a cool place, a tem-

that, keep it in the refrigerator or a dark, cold cellar. Open with
a champagne tap, as it flies over everything if the cork is drawn.

It is used with great success in diseases of the stomach, consump-

to produce sleep without leaving any bad after effects.

pSHERE are some simple ailments that can be successfully
'' treated by an inexperienced person without the help of a
■^ doctor ; but when there is any doubt whether a case is
serious or not, he should always be sent for. It is a
thousand times better to send for him ten times unnecessarily, than
once to put it off until it is too late, and it saves money, time and
strength in the end to have his advice early in the illness. >_a*

If rest, warmth and abstaining from solid food for ten or twelve
hours, with a free movement of the bowels, does not bring about a
change for the better, it is a case for the doctor, and he should be
"Called at once. •■ " '

NURSING TUiV SICK.

**D.& U" Bmuldon of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophoaphitet ci
Xime aud Soda is also of great value in such cases.

The bowels should be regulated by a daily enema of hot water,
«n by some simple laxative as Campbell's Cathartic Compound.

Z?fW.-— -What agrees with one will not with another, so different
kinds of food must be tried — snch as Koumiss, Peptonized Milk,
Oatmeal (>;rnel or porridge, Cracked Wheat, Rye Bread, soft boiled
or poached eggs, rare meat, raw beef scraped, mixed with bread
crumbs, made into pats and heated through on a gridiron ; baked

^mulants should be avoided, and tea or coffee used in moderation.
A good Malt Extract owing to the process it has gone through, il
it has been carefully prepared is a capital thing as it is at once
taken up by the system without taxing the digestive organs in the
least. It is an excellent assistant to digestion and a "Nutritive

This proceeds from a variety of caoses, and various remedies

must be tried.

•TIPATION Hoist applications over the bowels may be tried.

A piece of flannel wrung out of warm watar and

squeezed as dry as possible, can be bound on with a broad bandage,

«nd worn for two or three hours a day.

Kneadmg the Bowels : — Every morning before rising, the bowels
should be pressed or kneaded, beginning low down on the right
side working up across the abdomen and down the left side, finish-
ing with a general pressing and rubbing of the whole surface. The
operation should continue about ten minutes.

Fluid: — Sometimes a glass of cold water before breakfast, aud
another at ten o'clock will be effectual.

Diet: — Brown bread, Indian meal parridge with molassec, oat>
Vieal, fresh fruit, vegetables, very little rvisat, stewed prunes and
-Apples, figs soaked over night and cr.ten iu Jie .: lorning, andcofiee
without sugsr.

, Diet: — No meat, plenty of vegetables, fresh fruit, especially
grapes ; bread, tapioca or rice pudding, gruels, mutton broth, le«
monade, no coffee.

Coryza is the technical term for a cold in the head. At the first
symptoms of a bad cold, take a warm bath, go to

CO LOS. bed between blankets with a rubber hot water bottle
at Lh2 feet, drink a tumbler of hot lemonade, and
take a Compress: d Dover Powder, five grains. If the head feels
hot and oppressed, soak the feet for twenty minutes in twelve
quarts of very hut water, with three tablespoonfuls of mustard
stirred in it. If the raoath is dry , let a Chlorate of Potash lozenge,
five grains, dissolve in it once iu three hours. If this treatment
does not break it up, take a dose of D. & L. lyiver Pills, next night.
When the chest is sore, rub it with olive oil or camphorated oil,
warmed in a teacup, set in boiling water. Co/er it with two thick-
nesses of flannel or cotton wool. Wear this for several days, remov-
ing a small piece at a time. If there is much pain, apply a mustard
paste, or what is better still a Pal:i-Killer compress. When there
is a coagh, Pyny Pectoral may be used to relieve it.

Diet: — Porridge, bread and milk, eggs, blanc mange, plain pud-
dings. Avoid meats and stimulants for a time.

When a throat is slightly inflamed it can be cured by wringing a
piece of cotton out of cold water, binding it on the
THROAT *ieck all night and covering it with a strip of flan,
nel. Sometimes a mustard poultice left on until the
skin is well reddened will relieve, or a Pain-Killer compress ap-
plied on going to bed.

If the throat is relaxed a gargle of alum and water will relieve it.
If it feels rough and rasped, a teaspoonful of chlorate of potash,
two tablespooiifnls of honey or glycerine stirred into a tumbler of
water and used as a gargle is good. If the throat seems full of
mucous, a dessertspoonful of silt dissclved in a glass of water is
beneficial. All these gargles must be used at least once iu half an
hour to be of any use.

Diet: — Milk, egg nog, beef juice, cocoa, gruel, rare juicy meat,
or any nourishing food that can be taken.

Acute rheumatism, or rheumatic fever, is excniciating, involving
^reat suffering to the patient. The sufferer should
lie between blankets and wear a flannel nightdress.
There is always excessive perspiration. The body
must be often rubbed off with warm soft towels, passing the
hand under the night-dress to do it. A warm sponge bath of strong
salt and water twice a day, morning and night, is good. The vessels

and everything used about him must be warmed before they are
introduced into the bed.

Diet: —Milk iu every form in which it can be prepared, as gruels
made with it, blauc mauge, puddings, custard, koumiss, eggs and
vegetable soups.

Persons who sufifer from chronic rheumatism should wear red
flannel next the skin day and night, avoid exposure to the cold,
stimulants and meat diet, living on milk, eggs^ vegetables and far-
inaceous food. Cooked apples, prunes and oranges are good, and
lemonade and lime-j nice as a drink. Give Anti-Rheumatic Tablets
of Lithium and Potassium, following Elixir of Salicylic acid, or
Salycilate of Soda Tablets, say ten grains twice a day.

This is often caused by constipation, and the bowels should be
regulated by a gentle laxative. Campbell s Cathartic

_ '* "^H A Compound will be found excellent for the purpose.

HAkuiM. ««wyeth's" Beef, Iron and Wine will give tone to
the system ; or what might prove better still, "D. & L." Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. A
Rubber hot water bottle applied to the seat of ]).ii n gives ease. The
application of a Menthol Plaster will drive it away ; or Pain-Killer
compress bound on.

Diet : Plenty of milk, eggs and nourishing food. That prescribed
for constipation will be of use. Meat may be eaten in moderation,
if not frited.
Thread worms — Symptoms in children ; fretfulness, itching of
the anus and nose, pain in the stomach, occasionally
WO RMS. convulsions and unconsciousness. The tiny worms,
likes pieces of white thread, are sometimes seen in
the motions.

Remedies : Two teaspoonfuls of Castor oil every other night for
three nights. Soak a tablespoonf ul of the chips of Q. lussia wood in
a pint of water for an hour, strain it and add a tublespoonful of
fine salt. With a bulb syringe inject a quarter of a pint of this in
fusion into the rectum every day until the whole is used.

Sometimes the worms are large, round and a very light brown.
The best remedy for this species is Santonin. Give two Santonin
and Chocolate Lozenges at bed time for two nights. After the worms
have been expelled, small doses of the '* D. & L." Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, which is sold
by all druggists, should be given to build up the system, or
" Wyeths" Liquid Malt Extract.

Diet : While the worms are present this should consist largely of
milk. Afterwards meat, eggs and other nourishing food should be
given.

Parents whose children are liable to croup should keep in the
house powders of Turpeth Mineral, three grains
CROUP. each, as this is the best emetic to use. A very con-
venient and excellent remedy is "Pyny Pettoral "
i^ett used according to directions which accompany efttth bottle.

DIPHTHE-
RIA.

Symptoms : Physicians divide this disease into true and false
croup, hut the early fta^e ofhoth aie much alike to the non-pro-
fessional eye. The child wakens between ten and twelve o'clock
with a loud, barking cough, great difficulty in breathing, flushed
face, quick pulse and hot skin.

Treatment : Put the child at once into a hot bath. Give the
emetic until it has vomited {vev]y. Let it breathe the steam from
a pitcher of boiling water, and if possible put a praall lump of lime
in the pitcher before pouring in the water. If the case is progress-
ing favorably the ch;ld falls asleep, the fac is less flushed, the
pulse slower and the breathing easier. If this improvement does
not take place within an hour, send for tlie doctor.

Dress the child in flannel, and do not let it go out in the cold or
damp air for some days.

Diet : Give plenty of milk and gmels, beef tea and eggs. Avoid
meat, too much candy, or any unwholesome food. Regulate the
bowels to secure a movement every day.

Diphtheria is really a disease of the blood which shows itself in
the throat. This is covered with a grayish white
membrane. S>mptoms: Feverishness, difficulty in
swallowing, stifi"ness of the neck and swelling of the
glands of the throat outside.

Treatment : Send for the doctor. There is no time for trifling
with home remedies. Follow his directions exactly. Isolate the
patient. Gargle the throat with chlorate of potash tablets dissolved
m water, until the doctor comes. If there is not a camel's hair
brush at hand make a little swab for applying lotions to the throat
by twisting a clean rag on a piece of stick. See that these appli-
cation are put in the throat when it is left to you, and that lood
and medicine are swallowed.

Provide old soft cloths to receive the discharge from nose and
mouth and burn them as soon as used. Disinfect everything that
leaves the sick-room. , ,

If there are broken places anj-^where in the skin keep them
covered with carbolized vaseline, especially about the nose and
mouth.

Diet : This must be the nu\st nourishing possible and concen-
trated on account of the difficulty in swallowmg. Beef juice, beef
extract mixed with an equal proporiion of cream, milk and white
of egg. If brandy is ordered give it in milk. Do not allow the
patient to get ( at of bed or sit up without the Doctor's permission,
even in convalescence, as there is danger of paralysis of the heart.

Symptoms : Headache and feverishness for two days, then a

bright red rash appears, first on the face and neck.

^Fe*iB*H '*' ^^ spreads evenly over the surface of the skin, and is

not raised to the touch as the rash of measles is.

I^ever runs high and the throat is sore. The rash^ is sometimes

-visible before it appears outside. It is not infectious until th«

at a tv-uipcrature of 65°. Give him a warm spotige baih, avoiding
exposure. As the distase progresses and the ^kin begins to peel,
keep the bo<ly well rubbtd with vaseline. Veniilaiion is very

Treatment : Rub the chest with warm oil. Put on a poultice
jacket and cover the chest with flaxseed poultices, never allowing
them to become cold. The doctor will order medecine.

Diet : The same as in typhoid fever. When convalescing use
Fellows' Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites. It will aid in build"
ing up the system.

This is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes through which
the air is carried to the lungs.

^"^U?."'' Symptoms : The upper part of the chest is tight
and sore. There is a hard dry cough.

Rub the chest well with warm oil, and cover it with two or three
layers of cotton batting. Pyny Pectoral will Le found useful and
should be regularly taken. Give a dose of Medicated Fruit Syrup
if the bowels are constipated.

Diet : Milk in all its forms, beef juice and extract, mutton and
chicken broths. Later, any light nourishing food.

Wyeth's Malt Extract to build up the system.

Fellows* Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites, is invaluablie
to patients recovering from Bronchitis. It nourishes the couslitu-

This is an inflammation of the membrane that lines the chest
and covers the lungs.
PLEURISY. Symptoms: Sharp pain in the side, great difficulty
in breathing, cough and fever.
Treatment ; Apply a Pain-Killer compress or mustard piaster to
relieve the pain. Then rub the side with warm oil and cover it
with flanneh Give a Five Grain Compressed Dover Powder every
half hour until three are taken. Send for the doctor.

Diet : Same as in bronchitis.

Fellows' Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites is of great value
for giving tone to the system during convalescence.

Symptoms : Consumption in most cases comes on slowly with

pains in chest, cough, perhaps bleeding from the

Tl o N . Occasionally it follows an acute attack of pueutnouia

or some other disease of the chest.

Treatment : Pure air and plenty of it, gentle exercise, nourishing
food, tonicS.

The value of Fellows' Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites in
cases of Consumption has been proven beyond qucslion and its
peculiar curative character has been established with all who have
used it.

Pure air should be introduced into the sleeping room at night by
having a fire if the air is cool, and then leaving the window open

, ;,. Diet: As rawch fat as can be digested in the shape of butter,
cream, oil made into mayouaise or salad dressing, and the fat of
zn«at. Peptonic Tablets will be fuund of great u.se in helping a
delicate stomach to digest the fat, givm three times a day. New
milk warm from the cow, koumiss, raw eggs in every forfti, and
milk should be freely used. The eggs can sometimes be taken beaten
up with cold water. Poultry, fn sh fibh, beef and mutton arc good.
Pork and veal bein^ indigestible should be avoided. Tomatoes,
potatoes, young onions, and almost any fresh vegetables are
beneficial. " Wyeth's" Liquid Malt Extract will be found a
valuable agent to improve the appetite, fortifying the system and
enabling it to better resist the effects of the disease.

This is a disease which usually developes in childhood. It may
be transmitted from the parents, or it may be caused

SCROFULA, by deprivation of pure air. The glands in necks,
armpits or groins swell. There may be sores in

differents parts of the body , or the bunts and joints may be affected.

Treatment: S<*a air and salt water bathing, sunshine. Dr. Chan-
niiig's Sarsaparilla is excellent for this, also the "D. & L."
Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil an<l Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda,
and ' ' Wyeth's ' ' Liquid Malt Extract. Wash with Palmo Carbolic
Soap.

Diet: Cream, milk, butter, fresh meat, plenty of fat, eggs, fresh
vegetables, oatmeal, brown bread.

Symptoms : Swelling of the glands below the ear. Taking an
acid, as lemon juice or vinegar into the mouth causes
MUMPS. acute pain in the gland, and is one method of deter-
mining whether the swelling is mumps or not. Any
exposure to cold must be avoided. The swelling bathed in warm
camphorated oil and wrapped in flannel. If there is much pain a
iaxseed poultice can be applied. The bowels should be regulated
with a gentle laxative, such as " D. & L." Liver Pill. The patient
^ould be kept away from other children, as it is infectious.

r Diet : Any light nourishing food that is easily swallowed.

Symptoms : After about six days of langour and fretful ness the
cough begins. It comes on in severe paroxysms,

^COUGH*^ the child strangles and seems about to choke. It
often vomits. The cough is infectious and lasts

about six weeks.

Treatment : If there is no tever and the chest is not sore, the
ahild should go out in fine weather. If the cough is tight and
jMiinful and not much mucous is spit out, givi CompauuT Squill
I/>zenges. If the paroxysm is very violent, give Elixir Bromide

CHAPTER X

ACCIDENTS A, EMERGENCIES.

>RY to fix a few general principles in the mind as to what to
do when an accident happens, and then ^vhen the ttikl
comes, keep cool and put thtm in practice.

In sending for the doctor, write a short statement of
the case, that he may know what has happened, and
what instruments and appliances to bring.

Keep always in the house an old sheet torti in strips about two
inches wide, for bandagc-s ; pieces of old linen, like the middle of
pocket-handkerchiefs, or fine table linen, for wounds or bums; a
box of carbolic salve, a bottle of 'Perry Davis' Pain-KiUer, a roll of
Surgeons' rubber adhesive plaster, and a roll of absorbent cotton.
Wounds, — Wash the part well in cold water. If it is a clean cut,

when the bleeding stops, draw the edyes together
BLEEDING, and. si rap with narrow strips of rubber plaster,

leaving a space between each. I^ay a piece of cotton
wet in cold water over it, and fasten with a li^^lit bandage. After
twenty-four hours dress it with carbolic salve spread on linen.

When the bleeding does not stop and the blood soaks through
the bandage, it is probable that an artery is cut. Tiike off the
dressings, raise the limb and bind a wrt cloth tighly on the bleed-
ing point. If the blood coniinues to drip, fold a hard ball or small
round stone in a strip of cotton, ])lace it on the inside of the limb,
just under the swell of the muscle near the ami pit or groin, and
tiethe b.indage tighly around the limb. A stick can be passed
through the knot, and the bondage twisttd to increase the compres-
sion. This brings the sides of the artery t( gelher, stops the blood
and saves life. Carbolic salve, or Friar's Bali^am, is the best dres-
sing f'>r a wound after the bleeding has stopped.

r^.v^.se th3 patient into a half sitlin'^ position with pillows.' Give
BLFEOlwr piecesof ice a!ul a]iply an ice bag to the chest, or a
FRor.l THE nib!)er hot w iter bap, filkd with cold or ice water,

LUNGS. Krep the sufferer properly qnieV, allow no talking
and show no alarm. The blood is bright red when coughed up.

This is an early sympt'im of typhoid fever, but often means
_ nothing more than a little fulness in the head. Make

NOSE, sponge to the nos_ to receive the blood. Wrap a
piece of ice in flatinel and hold it to the back of the neck. Sniff
cold salt and water up the nostrils. If the flow is still alarming,
send for the doctor, as the nose will have to be plugged.

If possible, raise the bruised part so that the bloc 3 will run away
from it. Aoply clo'hs wrung out of ice water^ do

Soak the part in water as hot as can be borne, adding more to

keep up the heat for t n hour. Then wrap it in flannel

8 PRAI N S. wrung out of boiliue vater, lay a Rubber Hot Water

bottle against it, and change as often as is necessary

to keep it hot. After twenty-four hours wrap in dry flannel, still

continuing the hot water bottle. " J erry Davis ' ' Pain-Killer will

help to relieve the pain. Apply it warm. The Compress is best.

Sk'^page II.

If air is cut oflF from fire it cannot burn. Therefore when a

women's clothes take lire the first thought should

BURNS. be to smother it as quickl/ as possible. Any wollen

material wrapped around hor will do this. If none

is at hand, roll her over and over on the floor if there is no water

at hand. Tell her to keep her mouth closed, so as not to swallow

the flame.

When the fire is out, drench the clothing over the burned parts
and then rw/ it away. If patches stick, do not pull them off.
Wring cloths out of baking sodasiirred into water, cover the burns
and keep them wet. Lay blankets on a bed with any -^vater-proof
covering over them, and lift the suJBferer on them. If the body is
much burned, raise the upper bed clothes on boxes so as not to
touch it. Cover the unburned jparts with blankets. Give warm
milk and brandy if the pulse is feeble from the shock. Send for
the doctor as soon possible. Very nourishing food is needed.

' A cloth wet in *' Perry Davis " Pain-Killer and kept wet is a good
remedy for a slight burn. After a few days it can be dressed with
Vaseline.

Treat like burns. In most cases, covering the surface with *• Perry
Davis " Pain-Killer will give relief. Paint on several
SCALDS. layers as each dries.

If a child swallows boiling water give white of egg
and milk, and pieces of ice to suck. Apply hot fomentations to
throat until the dctor comes.

The heart ceases to act for one moment, the supply of blood to

the brain is cut off, and the person loses conscious-

FAINTING. ness. Lay him, or her, flat on the back. Lower

the head, or raise the feet of the bed or sofa. Unfasten

the clothing about the neck and waist. These measures are usually

sufficient. If not, hold ammonia to tlu* nose, press both-hands on

the chest and raise them quickly. Dash cold water in the face.

Give a little strong stimulant. In desperate cases try artificial

nspiration.

• In 7%r£>a/.— Sometimes a smart slap on the back will dislodge it
and send it down. It can be pushed down with the
BODIES. fi^Jger oi a blunt stick ; if not too large. A fork and
s * the handle of a spoon, can be passed, one above and

one below it to draw it out. Tickling the throat will cause vomiting,
wltich will expel small substances.

NT7KS1NG THF. SICK.

3«

In Nose. — A pinch of snuff, or a few grains of red pepper to
«xcite sneezing will usually remove it. If not, bend luc end of a
piece of fine wire slightly, work it up behind the obstruction and
nook it down*

In Eat. — Turn the head with the ear downwards, and give it a ►
smart slap on the other side. If this does not succeed . syringe the
«ar gently with warm water from a bulb syringe and it will float
out.

In the Eye. — Bathe the eye with warm water. Draw down the
lower lid and if the particle that is causing the trouble can be seen,
remove it, a fold of handkerchief over the head of a pin is a good
instrument. If it is under the upper lid, lay a pencil outside the
eye and turn the edge of the lid up over it, then take out the atom.
If it is a speck of lime, or any alkali, bathe the eye in weak
vinegar. If it is a drop of acid, wash it in baking soda and water.
Keep down the inflammation by applving one thickness of cloth
wrung out of ice water and not allowed to get dry.

In the Stomach. — Children often swallow tacks, marbles and
other indigestibles articles. Give a good meal of oatmeal porridge
bread and milk, bread pudding, or any soft food and it will in all
probability pass away without any trouble. Keep watch of the
motions for a day or two, to see that it is discharged.

When poison has been swallowed, the treatment must be prompt
to be of any use. There are two classes of remedies

PO»ISON- to be administered, and whichever is most readily
to be got should be given first, these are : —

1. Emetics.

2. Antidotes.

Get the poison out of the stomach as soon as possible by an
«metic. Tickling the back of the throat with the finger, or a
feather, will cause vomiting.

One tumbler after another of luke-warm water will do the same.

The principal classes of poisons are :—

Alkalies, as potash, ammonia, etc. For these, acids are the anti-
dotes as vinegar, lemon juice, etc.

Acids as oxalic acid, carbolic acid, etc., for which Alkalies &xc
the antidotes as baking soda, lime wattr, magnesia, etc.

Acrid poisoHw. ; as croton oil, alcohol, turpentine, etc., for which
mucilages are the antidotes; as gum arabic dissolved in warm
water, starch dissolved in cold water and thickened with boiling
water, arrowroot made in the same way, etc.

Irritant poisons ; as corrosive snblimato, arsenic, saltpetre, calo-
mel, copperas, etc. The symptoms a e much the same asin acrid
poisons, but they affect the lK)we1s mf>re^ permanently. The anti-
dote is albumen, as white of egg stirred into water, wheat flour is
water, milk, etc.

NUKSiKA TH|^ KICK.

Narcotic poisons, as opium in its various forms, such as lauda-
num, paregoric, morphine, etc., tobacco, belladonna, digitalis, etc>

Give .f/>^«^ coffee, apply cold 1o head and wartnth to feet, rub
the limbs and supply fresh air. Try to keep the patient roused and
awake.

General directions ; It is always safe to give plenty of milk. If
the poison was of an irritating nature, it soothes the inilunicd.
membrane.

When the pulse is weak, give some stimulant, whiskey or brandy,
mixed wiih water. If the mouih and throat arc burned by the
poison, give the stimulant as an enema mixed with an equal
quantity of luke-warm milk. Use a bulb syringe and inject very
slowly. Keep tho patient in bed and perfectly quiet. When out
of danger, give a dose of castor oil to carry off any traces of poisoni
tkat may linger in the stomach or bowels.

Gl«re light diet for a few days.

Do not keep liniments, which often contain poison, in the same
place as medecines that arc to bo taken internally.

; CHAPTER XI.

OlSiNFCCTiON.

ISINPECTION can be thoroughly carried out with a very-
few disiuicctauts.

Boiling water. Corrosive sublimate, Sulphur, Copperas..
It should be understood that pure air is the best
disiufectant. If a case of infectious disease could be
ttursed out of doors there would be little need of disiulectants.

Supply warm air and keep the windows open as much as possible.

If the sick room communicates with another room, do not use
the door from the sick room into the hall, but keep it locked, and
pass through the adjoining room, where the windows should be
always open. If there is only one door out of the sick roam, lumg^
a sheet over the doorway and keep it constantly wet with a solution
of corrosive sublimate. Use as far as possible old clothing that can
be burned. II ive a tub half fid of a solution of corrosive subliuiate
attd into this put every article of clothing from patient, or bed,
that is to be washed. After soaking in this for some hours, wring^
them out, and send them to the laundry, where they must be wa>hed
alone and boiUd.

After a vessel has been used, before emptying it, fill it with
copperas water, aftei emptying, wash it in hot water, rin«« in cop-
peras water, scald with boiling water, and leave it outside the sick
room until it is need- d again. Do not let cnpe, spoons, plates, or
any dishe.^ used in the sick room leave your hands until they are
washed and rinsed in Kalding water.

When the patient recovers, he must have a full bath of water, in
-which a pound of powdered borax has been dissolved and Palmo

r When the patient leaves the sick room, open the window and
carry away soiled clothing to be disinfected. Put mattresses and
pillows out in the .sun, sprinkle- them with corrosive subliniHlc solu-
tion, and after twenty-four hours send ihem to be made over.

Open drawers andclosets. Take an old coal-scuttle, or good tin
pan, witiiout holes in the bottom, throw in some paper and shake
over that two pounds of sulphur. Close windows and door.-<, and if
they do net fit tightly, paste paper over the cracks, leaviiij^ owe
door open, to go out by. Light the paper under the sulphur anrl
leave the roon: Paste the keyhole of this door, and if necessary
the cracks, from the outside. In twenty-four hours go in and opeti
the windows. When it is possible to breathe in the room, have the
floor and woodwork washed, first with corrosive sublimate solution,
then with plenty of hot water and f;oap. Have the walls scraped,
washed with corrosive sublimate and re-painted or papered. The
ceiling treated in the same way. Wash all the furnituru and liave
a^y that is upholstered re-made.

In scarlet fever and small-pox it is safest to burn everything that
cannot be boiled or treated as described.

After death from an infectious disease, the body should be Avashed
in corro ive sublimate solution, a large napkin containing a. pad
soaked in it should be pinned around the hips, the body wrapped
in a sheet wrung out of a solution of corrosive sublimate, and
buried as soon as possible. No one should be permitted to see the
remains.

IJ( Corrosive sublimate solution.

Fifteen grains of corrosive sublimate.
' " Fifteen grains of muriate of ammonia.

One quart of water.
This makes a strength of i part to i,ooo.

Wilson's Antiseptic Tablets, are a very convenient form, as tliey
are already prepared for dissolving. One can be added to cacii
pint of water.

lit Copperas Water.
Copperas four pounds.
Hot water ten quarts.
Stir with a stick until dissolved.

Throw handfuls of dry copperas down the water closet morning
and evening, and flush it well afterwards.

If a dry closet is used, throw in shovelfuls of copperas and
cover the surface with lime, dry earth or coal ashes.

The nurse should hold herself responsible for the prevention of

the spread of infection, as, if she does her duty, it is impossible for

it to extend beyond the case in hand.

N.B.— Caution must be taken as to the extremely poisonous character of these
disinfectants.

CONSUMPTION.

Consumptives, or those suffering from
other wasting disease, or those unable to
partake of or retain solid food, will derive
the greatest benefit from a liberal use of
Wyeth's I^iquid Malt. Cod Wver Oil is
most easily taken with Wyeth's I^iquid
Malt, the latter preventing nausea and
aiding the ready a.ssimilation of the oil.

Port Muls^rave, N.S., writes on Nov. 25, 1896, he saya :

"I was almost crippled with Sciatica and Rheinnatisiu. coidd hardly walk
at times owing to darting pains. I tried cures without nuin>iei without noticing
any imptovement till I had used vour U. & I<. Menthol I'lastcr. It has cured
me and I cannol recommend it too highly as the quickest and easiest Rheumatic
cure on the market. One trial will convince the nio.st credulous doubter."

NoTi:.— Mr. David Murray has been collector of 11. M. Customs for a period
of 24 years and his letter can be relied upon. He has been a constant sufferer
from S<.<iatica for about twelve years. He was experimenting with all kindis of
pla.ster8 and liniments for 5 years until he came across the D. & ly. Menthol
Plaster. Whenever an attack comes upon him now, one of these wonderful
Plasters are applied and he is instantly relieved. If you are a sufferer from
Rheumatism or Sciatica take the advice of this gentleman and you will find,
not only in.staiit relief but a permanent cure.

A Well Known Oxfvrd Co., Ont. Firmer Writes; —

For several years past m^ business has been m( a
character to render unadvoidable my exposure to the
most inclement weather ; in consequence of which I
have frequently contracted severe and distressing
colds, coughs, etc. Your PYNY-PBCTOKAIv I have
found a most eflfectual remedy in relieving these,
even the most aggravated cases. From my personal
experience I feel warranted in saying that youi'
remedy is invaluable in all cases of coughs, colds, sore
throat, and all ordinary affectioas of the throat and
respiratory organs.

CHAS. BRADtfURN,
Deltaer, Ont., November aist., 1896.

An Enterprising Merchant's Story.

Having been troubled with a very bad cold T tried
several mixtures, none of which seemed to give me
any relief. Noticing one of yonr PYNY-PIJCTORAL
samples on the shelf I tried it with surprising results.
Took your remedy for just one week, following direc-
tions carefully and it effected a complete cure. Have
since recommended it to some of mjr customers who
have all expressed satisfaction from its use.
H. TOURANOKAU,
General Merchant, Varennes. Quebec,
January 14th, 1897.

One Selected from the Neva Scotia Pile.

As a cure for colds and coughs PYNY-PKCTORAL
has no equal, my little g^rl had a severe cold, I gave
her PYNY- PKC I ORAL and it cured her. I can re
commend its use with consistency.

MRS R. DRAN,
Ship Harbour, NS., September ixth, 189&

A Wisper from Cape Breton.

For tix months I was troubled with a severe cough
and finally decided ta try PYNY-PRc'TORAL, after
having taken other medicines which had not benefited
me one particle.

Tw« bottles of this capital cough rcm^-dy :eJtored
me to my usua> self. It is the best cough reraedy I
have ever used.

....Beef, Iron & Wine.

This Preparation has been before the public now for more
than a quarter of a century and has been freely prescribed by
the physicians of Canada with most satisfactory results. The
sales have been very extensive amounting to many millions
of bottles.

Its Stimulant Properties — in this preparation"are combined

the stimulant properties of Wine and the nutriment of Beef,

with the tonic powers of Iron, the effect of which on the

blood is so justly valued. For many cases in which there is

Pallor, Weakness, Palpitation of the Heart, which much

nervous disturbance, this article will be found especially
adapted.

To Sufferers from Weakness. — it is a Nutritive Tonic, indi-
cated in thetreatmentof impaired Appetite, Impoverishment
of the Blood, and in all the various forms of General Debility.
Prompt results will follow its use in cases of Sudden Exhaus-
tion, arising either from acute or chronic diseases.

Growing Children. — Especially those who are sickly, get great
beneCt from this preparation.

People who are Getting Old, who find their strength is not
what it used to be, experience a decidedly tonic effect from its
use as occasion requires.

Clergymen, Teachers and members of others professions, who
suffer from weakness, will find WYUTH'S BEEF, IRON
AND WINE very effectiial in restoring strength and tcir^ to
the system after the exhaustion produced by over uiental
exercise, i

Overworlt. — Many men and women know that the continuous
fatigued feeling they labor under is due to overwork, still
they find it impossible just yet to take complete rest. To-
all such we woiild say use WYETH'S BEEF, IRON AND
WINE.

NOTICE-CAUTION.

THE success of Fellows Syrup op Hypophos-
PHiTES has tempted certain persons to ofFer
imitations of it for sale. Some of these falsely
assert to having been in cur employ, where the
mode of preparing the genuine Syrup was obtained. Mr.
Fellows whohas examined samples of several of these
mixtures, finds that no two of them are identical, and
that all of them differ from ^.iie original in composition,
in freedom from acid reaction, in susceptibility to the
effects of oxygen when exposed to light and heat, in the
property of retaining the strychnine in solution* and
in the medicinal effects.

As a precaution, it is advisable that the Syrup
should be purchased in the original bottles ; the dis-
tinguishing marks which the boti es (and the wrappers
surrounding them) bear, can then be examined, and the
genuineness-or otherwise-of the contents thereby proved.

A PROMINENT MONTREAL CLERGYMAN'S ENDORSATION.

* 'Permit me to send you a few lines to strongly re-
commend aifd endorse Perry Davis' Pain-Killer. I
have used it with much satisfaction for the past thirty-
five years and have also seen its good results in al-
leviating pain in the different parishes in which I have
lived. It is a preparation which deserves full public
confidence." James H. Dixon, Rector St. Judes and
Hon. Canon of Christ Church Cathedral.
