officer, " I haven't begun yet, stand back and give more air here; " then he b©* 

 gan slapping one of the boys hands, and put a man to the other, and one to 

 each foot, they continued the slapping vigorously thus, upon each limb, and 

 the reporter taking the officers place at that hand, the officer returned to the rib 

 squeezing process, when after about five minutes of this vigorous work the boy 

 gave a slight gasp for breath, to the great surprise of the bystanders and the 

 delight of the life-saving officer. He then redoubled his efforts at the artificial 

 breathing process, of pressing the ribs, etc., and called for brandy and warm 

 blankets, the boy meanwhile gasping again and began to twitch in the legs, 

 nnd as the boy began to breathe the brandy was given and the warm blankets 

 Were applied, and the boy was saved. (See hot sling in the rules above which. 

 If it can be provided, is better than the raw brandy.) Thus you see what per- 

 Beverance will sometimes do. Go then, in all such cases, and do likewise, and 

 valuable lives may be saved. 



1. THE TRUE WAY TO HEALTH— Simmered Down to a 

 Pew Short Rules. — A recent v^Titer, whose name I do not know, has given 

 us the most facts, in the fewest words, of anything I have seen. He says: 

 The only true way to health is that which common sense dictates to man. Live 

 within the boimds of reason; eat moderately; drink temperately; sleep regu- 

 larly ; avoid excess in everything, and preserve a conscience void of offence. 

 Some men eat themselves to death; some drink themselves to death; some wear 

 out their lives by indolence; and some by over-exertion; others are killed by the 

 doctors, while not a few sink into the grave under the effects of vicious and 

 beastly practices. All the medicines in creation are not worth a farthing to a 

 man who is constantly and habitually violating the laws of his own nature. 



BAND AGING- — In Broken Limbs and Ulcers.— In broken 

 limbs, it is necessary to use the bandage, and it has become quite common 

 also, in the treatment of ulcers. They are more generally made of cotton 

 sheeting, being torn off in strips of 3 to 4 inches in width, and sewed together 

 until the required length is obtained, after which they are to be rolled into 

 solid rollers for tne convenience of passing them around the limb, and to 

 enable the one who applies them to draw them evenly at all stages of their 

 application. In applying the bandage one can get a better idea from the 

 ^lustrations than any other way. All parts should be covered evenly, lapping 

 about one-half of the bandage upon the previous round, and in order to keep 

 it smooth and not run up or down on the limb, it will be necessary to turn the 

 bandage upon itself, as the cross lines in the cut will show, wherever the form 

 of the limb causes the bandage to pass either way upon' the limb from the 

 center of the previous round. In this way the pressure is even, leaving no 

 loose^ or unbound place for an accumulation of blood, which would cause 

 pain, and finally mortification. And it must not be applied so tight as to stop 

 the circulation, for this would cause the same difficulty ; the object is to leaaen 

 tbe circulation, but not to stop it entirely.
