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.

For break

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 reti very early, supperless, and without warm drinks of any kind. fast 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 judicious buffetings. But these latter remedies will also prove nonavailing and injurious, unless bestowed by the hand of benevond 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, Indianʼmush, 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.” This 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."

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

for taking the customary portion, your only next step is to reduce the quantity of food at least one-half, and do not increase the amount at any subsequent meal, for many days, although the pangs of hunger may smite you severely at times. If a "gnawing" is felt, take a little lemon juice on sugar, or drink a small cup of strong coffee without milk and food. Avoid fruit between meals. Green fruit, well cooked and not very sweet, or a tablespoonful of Indian meal, in a cup of water, every morning, will act as a cathartic and diuretic. Lastly, provide yourself with the homeopathic preparation of camphor, and, for a few days from the hour of resisting the evil, take a portion of it as substitute. Remember, you have the power of "Self-Healing" treasured up within your organism. Evoke it at once; believe on it; and the gods will cover you with their benedictions. [We have recently heard from the "suffering lady," just alluded to, assuring us that she did conquer the habit.]

Treatment for Nervous Debility.

In cases where the system is chronically afflicted with a nervedebilitation, the symptoms varying with changes of the season, but never quite removed, we prescribe a complete and thorough change in the habits of life. For fashionable persons, in independent circumstances, the adoption of habits of working, eating, and sleeping, like farmers or mechanics, is advisable; and, per contra, those who live by the sweat of their brow, should be permitted to rest a few weeks from their labors, aided meanwhile by the abundance of the wealthy, until their worn and weary bodies can recover somewhat of natural tone and power. Let everybody work enough to deserve the food he eats and the raiment he wears; let no one be compelled to earn sufficient to support another in idleness; the sick, the aged, and the infantile, are naturally exempt from labor; but no Health can exist in a
