An eminent physician informs us that he has used the following prescription in his procjice for a number of years and found it very successful in the treatment, of kidney, liver, bladder and all urinary affections. and is unsurpass- :d (or the cure of rheumatism, driving the uric acid entirely from the system. lie claims that a very few doses will relieve the most severe pains in the back arising from disordered kidneys and impure blood. The prescription is one ounce of sweet spirits of nitro. one ounce of com- pound vimosa and (our ounces of syrup of rhubarb. taken in dessert-spoonful doses in water. after meals and at bedâ€" time. These ingredients are harmless and inexpensive and can be obtained at any reliable drug store and mixed to- gether at. home. Do you ever stop to think of how many friends you have? No? Well. it's a good idea to do so now and then. The art of making friends is well worth acquiring. Just sit down and count up how many friends you have gained during the last year. and lmw many you have lost. The result may be astonishing. People drift apart so quickly in these days. Absorpâ€" tion in business is one reason for this; another is the modern dislike of writing letters; and a third 11 tendencyâ€"particu- larly with the passing of yearsâ€"to be- come too self-centred. All these things prevent us making new friends, as well LL; helping us to lose old ones. Deter- mine to prevent this. It is easy. Look for likable qualities in those you meet, and you will find them. Don't be too cautious about your acquaintances, thus shutting out much pleasure in life. Fin- ally. when you meet someone who is inclined to be friendly to you, be ready to do your part, and it will be plain sail- mg. The result of the experiment. has been remarkable. The five guinea pigs which were. inoculated with pasteurized milk are thriving on it“ and remain in excel- lent health. The five guinea pigs inocul- ated with raw milk are all suffering from tubei'colosis in its most virulent form, and are certain to die. The experiment reveals the grave danger incurred by the use of raw milk taken from diseased cows‘ and. at the same time. proves that. the pasteurization of milk. as advocated ly Mr. Nathan Straus, effectively purifies milk and rendens it fit for consumption. I h: .‘ith Mr. Nathan Struus, of New York, who recently established at Heidelberg a laâ€" boratory [or the purpose of demonstrat- ing to Gcrmen men of science and health reformers that his method ol. pasteuriz- ing milk is an effectual way of preventing consumption, has just. obtained from Professor Peer, of Heidelberg University, a strikink testimonial. Professor Foer inoculated ton guinea pigs with milk ob- tained from cows known to be suffering from tubercolosis.‘ In the case of five guinea pigs. the milk. after having been obtained from tuberoolous cows. was pas- teurized by the Straus method. In the case of the other five the milk was ino- culated into the guinea pigs in its raw condition. Successful Outcome of Experiments by German Scientist. 111‘ but coufd render little servicx'.

One of the greatest matters of anxi- ety to those organizing the Celebration has been the question. how to provide the millions of people who cannot see the celebration with illustrations and descriptions, to give the scenes of gran- deur to the world in their entirety.
