over half a pint, for injection. At night take a one-grain pill of the extract of chamomile. After one month, if your symptoms are not removed, substitute for the above injection one pint of blood-warm water, containing from three to six drops of diluted sulphuric acid.

Obey all the laws of Nature, and so realize a full unity with the Spirit of your Father God.

Cure for Vaginitis, or Irritation.

All women, young or advanced, may treat the symptoms of this affection, and cure it. The term "Vaginitis" is applied by pathologists to that very prevalent irritation and painful inflammation of the vagina, caused by some form of the disease known as leucorrhoea. The Bulletin de Therapeutie publishes the most reasonable prescription for this painful affection, consisting of eighty parts of glycerine and twenty of tannic acid.

When the vaginitis first appears, the inflammatory symptoms should be calmed by appropriate regimen, baths, and frequent emollient injections. When the first stage of the inflammation has passed away, and the careful introduction of the speculum has become possible, abundant injections of water are to be thrown in, so as to remove all the muco-pus which lines the walls of the vagina, and these are then dried by a plug of charpie, placed at the end of a long forceps. Then three plugs of wadding, well soaked in glycerine and tannic acid, are to be introduced. Next day, after a bath, the plugs are removed, new injections made, and the dressing repeated. M. Demarquay has never had to have recourse to more than four or five such dressings. After discontinuing them, astringent injections, consisting of infusion of walnut-leaves, in which one drachm of alum

to the quart has been dissolved, are employed two or three times a day for a week or ten days.

Cure for Painful Menstruation.

For painful menstruation and low circulation, we prescribe magnetic manipulations. If you cannot avail yourself of this treatment, then, as a substitute, wear a fur garment below your waist, enveloping the entire abdomen and the hips, which should be put on and worn constantly about three days before the flow commences, and taken off two or three days subsequent to the cessation. If your feet and body are painfully cold, after retiring for the night, your best remedy is very long fur stockings, and mittens of the same, with neatly-fitting wristlets. Wear these only at night. Fur soles within your shoes during the day, or moccasins. Lamb-skins, with wool next to your body, will answer in place of certain kinds of fur. The fur should always be worn with the flesh-side inward.

Whenever menstrual pains are severe, or your body is more than usually weak, put across the small of your back, over the kidneys, and reaching to the loins, a girdle of flax-seed poultice, well sprinkled with pulverized camphor.

Displaced Uterus.

The throat diseases, and many other symptoms which afflict you, are caused by the derangements of the reproductive organisms. REMEDY.-Let some lady physician adjust the organ to its appropriate place about two days before menstruation. Do nothing that will cause a recurrence of the misplacement. Take the Spring Beverage as prescribed. Use your Will whenever you walk in doers er out.

giving rise to lumps and tumors under the skin. As to the treatment, we know of nothing comparable to the electro-magnetic battery in connection with hydropathic hygiene. If taken in time, and skillfully manipulated daily, either form of Spina Bifida would get well-providing, of course, the patient has a constitution strong enough to furnish the healing energies.

The Source of Marrow.

The marrow (scientifically called medulla,) is digested through diverse cellular membranes, and then, by a secretory process of the small arteries, it is deposited in the appropriate cavities of the cylindrical bones. It contains very little of the primal constituents of the organization, but, as a residuary and conservative substance in the hollow of the structures, a healthy marrow is indispensable.

Treatment for Lumbago.

This is a painful rheumatic affection of the muscles about the loins. It sometimes begins by stabbing the patient severely for a few hours, and then leaves the victim with a lameness of the most distressing character in the hips and loins. REMEDY.Take care to keep the skin of the parts perfectly clean by means of soap and warm water. Wear a lamb-skin across the hips every day; sometimes, when the suffering is intense, keep it bandaged on all night. Let all sufferers beware of sensual. indulgences.

Nervous Trembling at the Stomach.

It will be necessary for the patient to receive magnetic treatment, half an hour every day, from the hand of some congenial person, either man or woman. You should assume an easy position, close your eyes, aud remain passive in spirit,

remedy therefor is magnetism. Thus: Let some efficient operator persist until he gets the subject under mental control, which is indicated by his obedience to the mentally expressed wishes of the operator; then let the latter impress upon his brain a feeling of intense hatred of alcohol, at the same time inspiring his Will to resist the least approach of the enemy in any form whatever. This practice will be attended with great success, if the operator himself be a temperance man, and a lover of good for its own sake.

Beware of the Tyrant, Disease.

A young lady writes a volume in the following paragraph: "BROTHER DAVIS: The world is before me, and, in the buoyancy of youth, I build ethereal castles, that dwindle into nothingness before my more enlightened reason. Hopes and fears, joy and sorrow, are the computations of my every-day life; and I, therefore, long for more congenial conditions in the Angel World. My physical system is not in harmony, caused by obstructions that resist the influence of the usual remedies. No one can possibly prize the value of health who has never been sick. If I could once more regain my health, I should be as happy as the wild fawn that bounds o'er the western prairies."

ANSWER.-The most unnatural slaveholder is Disease. No tyrant was ever half so full of fierce mischief. His hands are red with human blood. He lives in our dwellings-nay, in our very bosoms, nestling in the warmest recesses of our heartsdestroying health and beauty before, and ofttimes in, our very eyes! How can we longer bear the presence of this sleepless wretch? If humanity should weep a flood of hot tears, for forty days and forty nights, the deluge of sorrow would not drown this serpent, this rampant monster, this great foe of all men, called "DISEASE.' Drugs, doctors, ministers, cannot kill him; he is sovereign of them all, and of all the world besides. And yet there is one certain way to conquer him, to wit: Obey the laws of Nature, and thus intrench yourself in Health.
