Relative to hot water as a reme ial agent Hall's Journal of Health ublishes some interesting hints. t says: A strip of flannel or a napkin Alded lengthwise and dipped in ot water and wrung out and then pplied around the neck of a child hat has the croup will usually ring relief in ten minutes. A towel folded several times ,nd dipped in hot water, and Lickly wrung and applied over he seat of the pain in toothache .nd neuralgia, will generally afford >rompt relief. This treatment in olic works almost like magic. I ave seen cases that have resisted ther treatment for hours yield to his in ten minntes. There is noth ng that will so promptly cut hort a congestion of the lungs, ore throat, or rheumatism as hot rater when applied promptly and horoughly. Pieces of cotton batting dipped n hot water and kept applied to Id sores or new cuts, bruises and prains, is the treatment now gen rally adopted in hospitals. I tave seen a sprained ankle cured n an hour by showering it with Lot water poured from a height of hree feet. Headache almost always yields o the simultaneous application 'of tot water to the feet and back of he neck. A goblet of hot water s one can drink, if taken half an our before bedtime or 20 minutes efore breakfast, or both, is the lest of catharties in the case of onstipation, While it has a most oothing effect on the stomach and >owels. This treatment continu d for a few months, with proper ,ttention to diet, will cure any urable case of dyspepsia, and it rill give relief almost from the rst glass. Try it and you. will ever regret having done it. -Lewis R.

Besides his, consumption set in and the Lard rules of prison discipline, to ether with the harsh climate, eemed too much for his constita ion already weak by long suffer ng from his wounds, so he was re raoved to the South Carolina pen tentiary, where he is now confin d. He is, however, in a very pro arious stage of health,and physi ians of the penitentiary thinks hat continued confinement will oon end his days.
