SICK HEADACHE. 
Those who have ever had this distressing 
complaint need no description of it. Its 
attacks are often so snrlden and severe as to 
make one helpless for awhile. If possible, 
put the feet in a warm bath (coming well 
up the limbs) to which two tablcsponfuls 
of clean wood ashes have been added, But 
this cannot always he done, as the person 
may be away from home at the time of t he 
attack, or have no ouo to wait upon him oi¬ 
lier, and be too sick to wait on themselves. 
But a remedy may bo kept on hand, that 
has always eased me when 1 have tried it; 
it may bo carried in the pocljct, so that if 
attacked from home, as one often is, by 
taking it, one may soon be relieved. This 
remedy is bonoset, blossoms, and I take 
I hem in this way:—Take what would make, 
when pressed together, a bunch as largo as 
a chestnut; put it in tho mouth atld chew, 
swallowing tho juice; as tlio bile begins to 
circulate in the stomueh a sort of chill is 
often felt, and the excess of blood circu¬ 
lates from the head toother parts of tho 
system. 
I suppose I need not give a description of 
this plant, as it is so generally known, 
though often called by different names. 
Boneset, or Thorough wort, is called Evpa- 
toriuiu jicrjnl latum. The whole plant is 
medicinal, though for headache 1 use only 
the blossoms, which appear in August ; and 
t prefer t hem before they fully blossom, as 
t hey are not, so easily nibbed oil’ and wasted. 
It grows in wet pastures, and should be 
gathered when well biddod for blooming, 
or about the lirat of August,. It may be 
tied in bunches and huug up out of the 
way, where it will keep clean and dry.

DOGS AND HYDKOPHOPIA. 
Scarcely a week passes but, that we see 
reported in the daily papers one or more 
deaths from that horrible disease, hydro¬ 
phobia. Dogs are a gigantic and aiarmiug 
nuisance to the nation’s community. Why, 
I ask, iu the name of humanity, are so many 
worse-tliari-uselosa dogs kept V There ought 
to be a national dog law, fixing the tax on 
dog owners at &Jf» per year for each and 
every dog. This would be tho most effionr 
cious remedy for hydrophobia. “ An ounce 
of prevent ion is worth an hundred pounds 
of cure,” as far as this dreadful disease is 
concerned. Any one who has over wit¬ 
nessed the death of a person from hydro¬ 
phobia will desire to never again behold so 
dist ressing a scene. Cliildren at play iu the 
street; a mad dog, foaming at the mouth, 
rushes through the street, biting six or 
eight children. In the course of two or 
three weeks, or, perhaps, not for months, 
one or more of these children are attacked 
with t he awful symptoms, aud no medical 
aid can save them. Imagine the anxiety of 
the parents of t he other childen who were 
bit ten by the same dog. Editors of news¬ 
papers, and other writers, ought to make 
war upon dogs, and agitato the question 
until laws are made that will put uiue- 
tenths of these dangerous and useless curs 
out of existence. j.

HYGIENIC NOTES AND QUERIES. 
Remedy for Hoarseness.—I cured my 
child, who had hoarseness for three mouths, 
in this way:—Took four ounces fresh grated 
horseradish, put one pint of vinegar on it, 
let it stand twelve hours; then put it on 
the lire, covered tightly, to prevent the 
strength going off with the steam; strained, 
and added a teacup full of honey. It was 
then ready for use. Bo ttled tight. I think 
it an excellent remedy for all kinds of 
coughs.— Mrs. Aaron C. Tice. 
Remedy for Chillblains.—P. L. San¬ 
ford sends a remedy which he says ho has 
given to hundreds, and never knew it to 
fa il in a single instance:—“ Take a six-ounce 
phial to the drug store; put in it one ounce 
nitric acid, one-half ounce muriatic acid, 
and four ounces of rain water. Make a lit¬ 
tle swab, and use it night and morning, 
wetting the part affected.” 
To Keep the Feet Warm Cold Nights. 
—Take a soft and pliable sheepskin, or a 
piece of a buffalo robe as large; put it on 
top of the lower sheet that covers the feet; 
pack the rest of the sheets or blanket top 
of the skin, and then tell others how to do 
it.— m. a. b. 
M arts on the Hands. — To remove 
these. I simply apply strong alum water as 
many times per day as I find it convenient, 
and the warts do not remain long.—H X
