UNITED STATES. proposed in the United States to dis- its from glucose. receipts forlicenae fees in Brooldyn the past year amounted to $56,- ‘0’>Ov>â€" Years ago, the grandmothers of the pres- ent generation used to cure their children of colic by making them drink warm herb tea and arplying hot dnughts to their feet. Group was relieved by dipping strips of flannel in hot water, wringing them out, and then enveloping the child's neck with them. The old-fashioned method of using hot water as n remedy has again become fashionable, and is spoken of as something new 7 H'all'a Journal of Hea’th points diseases in which the old remedy good. and those wherein it may dp Hall's Journal of Hea’th points out the diseases in which the old remedy will do good. and those wherein it may do harm : Take. for example. the case of a person who has taken cold in the lungs. The circulation of the blood in the small blood-vessels in that portion of the lungs af- fected becomes sluggish; in some cases it is quite suspended; the general circulation is impeded through failure of an important organ to do the work required of it. and the whole system suffers ; the man is ill. Now. if we knowiwhv the disease exists, by what unnatural condition it is kept up, the remedy suggests itself; as. if a wafer- pipe were frozen up, any child knows the the remedy is heat. And her-e is just where wattr as warm as it can be comfortably borne will effect a. cure in ordinarv cases. Let the patienfi go_ to; bed. Put bottlgs Let the patient go to bed. Put bottles of hot water to his feet, and c‘oths wet in hot water on his chest. Let him diiuk hot water as freely as he can with comfort; it matters little whether it is clear hot water, or herb ten, it is nevertheless hot water. Its internal use tends to thaw out the blondâ€"vessels. and its outward application quickens the circulation in the blood-vesaels near the surface ; thus drawing on the deep- aeated blood-vessels for supplies to keep up the activity, and thus the congestion is re- lieved and the patient is cured. ‘ _ With tbié treatment we are employing hot water at its full value. In dyspepsia hot water taken internally. under proper restrictions, is no doubt useful. since dyspepsia depends on a congested and deranged condition of the. digestive organs. 7 Batch: consumption and oiher diaeasés at. tended by general debility it can only be de trimental. When a person is feeble from disease not marked with acute inflammation. the hot- watev treatment necessarily increases the dehility, The hot-water treatment is useful in re- moving obstructions from the machinery, but only in systems where there is a. surplus of vital power. To recapitulate : The drinking of hot water at proper Intervals and in proper quantities is useful in dvs- pepsin, constipation, torpid liver, cou- gestion of the stomach. chronic diar- rhoea. and in various affections of the kid- neys and bladder; provided that there are not at the same time serious diseases of the lungs. with debility. Here a. tonic treatment is applicableâ€"a treatment that will increase and enrich the blood and supply the fuel required to keep the machinery of life in motion. Tube water should be as hot as tea. is usually made. that is, from 110° to 150°, and should be sipped, not: taken rapidly. The quantity should be from half a. pint; to a. Eint‘. It shoul'l be taken one to two hours after mealw, and nothing should be eaten until at least one hour afterward. The evening draught should be just before going to bed. Bedroom Ventilation. If two persons are to occupy a bedroom during a. night, let them step on weighing scales as they retire, and then again in the morning, and they will find their actual weight is at least a pound less in the morn- ing.

If an ounce be burn- ed every half hour during the night, the air will be kept continually saturated with the smoke, unless there be an open door or Win- (low for it to escape. Now. the sixteen ounces of smoke thus lormed is far less poisonous than the sixteen ounces of exhala- Iion from the lungs and bodies of the two persons. who have lost a. pound in weight during the eight hours of sleeping; for While the dry smoke is mainly taken into the lungs, the damp odors from the body are absorbed into the lungs and into the pores of the Whole body.

Men are judged by what they can do and not by what they say they can do. The reading public of to-day is too discriminating to be long deceived by the spurious.

My water was full of matter and blcod. Both kidneys and liver were affect- ed, and in addition I had a bad cough and heart trouble, ( ill presumably the secondary etfect of the kidney and bladder disorder.)
