SOME NEW REMEDIES. 749 



Third day: Take the whole of the egg. If preferred, prepare by 

 pouring boiling water over the egg, and letting it stand in the hot 

 water for ten minutes. It is then soft boiled, and may be taken 

 every two hours and a half, if appetite strongly demands. 



Fourth day: Add to the above, broth of meat, (mutton or fowl) 

 and some raw oysters, if desired. 



Fifth day: The same as alovt, with addition of whole wheat 

 muffins. If the muffins should happen to aggravate the disease, 

 then they are to be omitted until the misery and pain ceases. 



After this, avoid all articles of food, as much as possible, that 

 contain starch and sugar, as they always more or less produce fer- 

 mentation in the stomach. For at least one month, eat no bread 

 that contains yeast. Use no coffee or tea. 



AUSTRALIAN CURE FOR COUGHS AND COLDS. 



Equal parts of Linseed Oil, Honey and Rum. Mix thoroughly. 

 Dose, one teaspoonful every three hours. After the first day, take 

 only before each meal and before retiring at night. This cures the 

 most inveterate cases. 



HORRORS OF WEARING TIGHT CLOTHING. 



One of the most dangerous habits, not only for its effect on the 

 individual but on the offspirng is the ridiculous habit of wearing 

 the clothing tight at any part of the body. Corsets are an abomina- 

 tion because they serve to disfigure the human form and by impeding 

 the circulation cause degeneracy which is often apparent even in 

 the grandchildren of the guilty person. Tight lacing of the waist 

 by corsets or belts, which has been practiced by women for more than 

 fifty years is now apparent by the change in the average form. In 

 recent years young men have begun the silly practice which can only 

 result in serious degeneracy. See illustrations on another page. 



NEW CURE FOR SWELLED GLANDS.

One of the very best remedies for rough or chapped skin is to 

 rub in lanoline, which may be had at all drug stores. To reduce 

 swollen glands rub them well twice a day with lanoline mixed with 

 a few grains of iodide of potassium.
