ual part, but in the fibrous membranes, which clothe the surface of the bones. The head will ache, and the teeth also, even when the general health is sound. Shall we name it "Periostitis"? meaning a rheumatic inflammation of the Periosteum. Yes, that term is sufficiently descriptive of the seat and cause of frequent headaches. In such a case, put cold water behind your ears, and on the back of your head and neck, before you bathe any other part of your body, each morning. Do not wet the top and front of your head. Keep these portions dry in the morning.

Nervous Burnings and Pain.

It is not uncommon for an American woman to displace some of those physical energies that are necessary to the possession of harmony and happiness. She is excessively nervous at times. But anodynes and sedatives are not the remedy. For the painful and burning symptoms she should use no preparations in the shape of stimulating washes. Her pathway to Health leads through obedience to the pneumogastric and self-magnetic remedies. It will be necessary for the patient to retire very early, supperless, and without warm drinks of any kind. For breakfast and dinner, she may eat and drink whatever and as much as her appetite and reason will honestly prescribe. About two hours after dinner, each day, it will be necessary for friendly hands to rub and pommel the patient, as hard and rapidly as possible, without severe pain, upon the neck and shoulders, down the entire spine, and all the way around the waist. Meantime, remember, full respirations are necessary. Magnetism, alone, would amount to nothing to one in such a condition. The patient needs the benefits accruing mainly from vigorous mechanical pressure and judi cious buffetings. But these latter remedies will also prove nonavailing and injurious, unless bestowed by the hand of benevolence and sympathy.

Weakness and Emaciation.

A correspondent writes that his companion "is tall and slender, very poor in flesh, but rich in spirit; she has a lively, intelligent mind, quick of perception; and is as good a wife, and judicious a mother as can be found." But she is afflicted with a general incapacity of the muscular system. He says: "She is a strange compound of strength and weakness. She bathes with water every day; eats no animal food; works hard; can easily walk three miles per day; has a good digestion; good white teeth; regular bowels; regular and painless in her menstruation; warm feet, etc. ; yet feels excessive weakness; faints sometimes; small appetite; dandruff on her head; is very emaciated and weary; slightly inflamed eyes; white, odorless discharge, in small quantities, from the vagina; is troubled with a sleepy feeling, but never with any such thing as depression of spirits, for she is a Philosopher ""

REMEDY.-There is a sure medicine for the emaciation and symptoms above described, which are not uncommon among women in this country. It will consist of dietetic influences for the invigoration of the absorbent and secretory systems. There is a deterioration in the constituents of the blood. There is no want of iron in the system (for the bile is sufficiently charged with ferruginous elements derived from milk, eggs, water, and vegetables,) and yet there is a want of appropriating power in the alimentary canal and symphatic absorbents generally. And to set the entire system in good working order, than which the music of the spheres may not be more harmonious, we recommend for breakfast, one soft boiled egg, with bread and butter, and one small glass of strong beer. With your dinner (which may be composed of anything you wish suitable for the season,) drink a tumbler of weak tea of wild cherry tree bark. For supper, which should not include fruit or cakes, you may drink a cup of Homeopathic chocolate. Experience has proved that a person thus afflicted, may eat all kinds of light bread and biscuit not containing potash, soda, or other

similar ingredients, and not too fresh; cakes composed of meal, eggs, sugar, and a little butter; buckwheat cakes not raised with fermenting powders; light puddings and dumplings of wheat, Indian meal, rice, oatmeal or bread, without wines, spices, or rich sauces; hominy, Indian mush, rye mush, groats, pearl barley, potatoes, turnips, carrots, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, asparagus, green or dried peas or beans. It will be necessary to use vaginal syringes, two or three times per week, of strong motherwort decoction, or warm water containing from three to five drops of sulphuric acid.

Remedy for Weakness and Pain.

This unbalanced condition between the sensory nerves and the nerves of motion, may be overcome by establishing an equal circulation of the magnetic energies between the brain and extremities. This equilibrium can be accomplished only by and through a persistent course of magnetic treatment. You should be pounded, rubbed, manipulated, and lastly, oiled from head to feet, at least once a day for many weeks. Home is the best place.

Treatment for Painless Paralysis.

Symptoms of paralysis in one or both limbs, affecting the face and brain, call for continuous magnetic treatment. The blessings of health will flow through man's form much quicker and more permanently under the proper external circumstances. But there is another method which may reach many sufferers, viz Take one-third pound opium, macerate (soften,) it in sufficient water for two or three days, occasionally working it over with the hand. Then add muriate of ammonia, one ounce; oil of cinnamon, or of cloves, two ounces; alcohol, one pint. Mix thoroughly and add one pint of water DOSE.-A very little of

this preparation will penetrate the magnetic membranes of the entire system. It must always be used externally, and in connection with olive oil in case the smarting is too severe. The spine should be bathed with this tincture once a day, from the neck downward-then your arms and legs-concluding by bathing the soles of the feet thoroughly. We pray that the watch ing angels will extend healing hands to every Brother.

Remedy for a Multitude of Sins.

A patient says: "About three years ago I got under what is called conviction for sin.' My feelings were horrible beyond the power of any pen to describe. Such feelings continued for six months, until my mind was almost lost and my body shattered. Spiritualism has done wonders for me mentally, but the body is afflicted as follows: 1st. Nervousness. 2d. Pain in the region of the kidneys and across the small of back. 3d. Great prostration and general weakness. 4th. Fever most of the time, nearly always after dinner. 5th. Headache, gloominess of mind, disposition to look for evil. 6th. Costiveness, heat in head, face often flushed, pain in legs, sweat under the arms all the time, but not any other part of my body." catalogue, though brief, covers the symptoms of very many of our countrywomen, and there are also diseased men, who have the most afflictive disturbances, including horrible feelings developed by "conviction of sin."

This

REMEDY.-Stop voluntary sinning from this hour, and your mental condition will improve wonderfully fast. As a medicine, eat nothing between breakfast and supper; never eat any bread fresh baked; no pancakes or salted food of any description; with this understanding, we will prescribe for you-for everybody with these symptoms-the following Chylifier: Cinnnamon bark and nutmegs, bruised, of each one table-spoonful; cardamon seeds, horse-radish, ginger-root, mandrakes, and Turkey rhubarb, powdered, of each two table-spoonfuls; let all these macerate-that is, soften and dissolve in water sufficient

to cover them and more-for twelve days, in a light vessel, then strain and add two quarts of cider brandy or half a pint of alcohol. Use this remedy without sweetening, if you possibly can. DOSE.-A tea-spoonful, with or without water, at the usual dinner hour, and the same on retiring for the night. In some cases the dose may be doubled: not, however, if the feverishness is increased thereby. Take a warm water wash-off, or a thorough steam-bath, once every week, for a while.

Resignation as a Medicine.

The initiatory step toward a cure, in many nervous diseases, is resignation. Your body and all its nerves will improve when your mind voluntarily yields allegiance to existing conditions. Do so at once. Will yourself into a state of comparative carelessness. Become passive and resigned-not because of the necessity, but from wish and intention. It is a sad spectacle to behold a human soul compelled by disease to be passive and tranquil. Such is hopelessness and frail weakness. Perhaps this is not yet your condition. Listen, therefore, and be strong in your weakness. Resign virtuously and beautifully out of the still fountains of prayer and will. We style this course the first step to physiological restoration. We do not counsel you regarding food, sleeping, clothing, water, &c., for all these things you may have attended to from your youth upward. Only this: Resign while you can. Allow yourself to become an invalid. Have the luxury of doing while you may before yielding because you. must. Observe, now, that we teach you to be passive spiritually, and thoughtless as to the action of medicines, and indifferent whether you get well or go hence. Yet you should exercise early every stormless morning. Return and resign to rest; the manipulations will benefit you. Let some friendly hand give your body a thorough castor-oil rubbing once a week;
