iSToRTH Carolina Health Almanac. 37 in persons in middle life and past, should be investigated as to the possibility of cancerous trouble, pellagra, and other grave diseases. ANAEMIA. In our part of the world cases of anaemia should be investigated always for hookwonn infection and malaria. It is best to seek medical assistance about them and their treatment. dition of affairs that can not be obtained otherwise. For a fever that persists and does not yield to the simple home remedies trained guidance should be sought. For the acute eruptive diseases of childhood the physician should be called in for advice. Don't make the mistake of exposing all of the children to them, when one child has a case, for what may be simple for one may be fatal to another. Convulsions in infancy and childhood usually mean some disturbance in the alimentary tract, the onset of some infection, or an epileptic tack. In later life they usually mean epilepsy or some brain lesion, or poison generated in the system from disease. Immediate purgation is called for in all cases. Castor oil for the children and salts for the adults should be administered immediately. Hot baths and hot packs and rot foot baths are usually efficacious in relaxing the patient. With a child who is subject to convulsions it is well to have on hand a bromide preparation, say 10 grains in a teaspoonful of peppermint water. Larger doses may be readily given. As bromide is rather slow in its action it is often Avell to have on hand a chloral preparation prescribed by a physician. This is to be administered when the child may have any threat- | enings of convulsions, as muscular twitching. Chloroform should not be administered by members of the . family. For convulsions of any ! seriousness a physician should be summoned. With the epileptic type of spasms some object should be placed between the teeth to pre- ■ vent biting the tongue. TUMORS AND CHRONIC SORES. pj^jj Armstrong says: "A short Chronic sores, ulcers, tumors, skin cut to fame—take patent medicine eruptions, and discharges, especially ^ and send in your photo." Punishing Impudence. A farmer driving along a country road was thus accosted by a young upstart: ^'Hello, Reuben, give me a lift to Hightown, won't you? 1 might as well ride as walk.'' And with that he climbed up into the farmer's wagon and continued to chatter, while the old man listened in silence. Finally he said: "It's a good thing I met you. Quite a way to Hightown, isn't it?" After they had gone a few miles further he said: "How far is it to Hightown, anyhow ?" "Well," said the old farmer, "the w^ay we are going I should judge it's about tAventy-four thousand miles, but if you were to git out and walk back I should say ten miles or so." Youth's Companion. The Installment Plan. Miss Coy: "Oh, what beautiful flowers! There's still a little dew on them." His Nibs (absently-mindedly) : "I know, but I'll pay it tomorrow." Current Literature. La Grippe: "That disease which keeps vou sick six months after vou are well."—"Jl/r. Dooley/'
