Malady of the Stobiach.
The wife of Pere Hyacinthe, in her counsel and
encouragement to the women workers in the temper-
ance work says, " The great American malady is
the malady of the stomach. Bear in mind this fact,
that the appetite for drink is not necessarily made by
drinking, but in nine cases out of ten it is created and
cultivated at your tables — in the children by the use of
strong tea and coffee, or pepper, pickles, mustard,
spices, too much salt pork, hot bread and pastry, raw
meat and grease, and above all by the use of tobacco.
The cry of a depraved appetite, an inflamed stomach,
is always for something stronger. In short reform
your tables if you would reform your drunkards and

save your sons.'* When people feel the need of
an acid, if they would let vinegar alone and use
lemonade or apples they would feel as well satisfied
and receive no injury.
Earache.
Children frequently suffer greatly with earache. I
would not advise dropping anything into the ear, as I
have known of one person who lost entirely the hear-
ing of that ear for life. Tobacco smoke will often
afford great relief. Fill the bowl of a pipe half full of
fine tobacco, place a piece of thin muslin over the
bowl, insert the stem or hold it to the ear and blow in
the smoke, or if you are where you can obtain it,
place a piece of cotton wool saturated with chloroform
in the bowl of a pipe and blow gently, holding the
stem in the ear; the evaporating chloroform will relieve
the pain immediately. Then apply at once a bag of
hops wet or moistened with very hot water to the ear;
bind it on and cover them warm in bed. Put the
hops in sheer muslin, and you will sleep all night.
If there are no hops, roast onions, put in thin bag and
bind on hot.
How TO Take out a Cancer.
A Milwaukee paper states that some eight years ago
Mr. T. B. Mason, of that city, ascertained that he had
a cancer on his face the size of a pin. It was cut out
by Dr. Wolcott, and the wound partially healed.
Subsequently it grew again, and while he was in Cin-
cinnati on business, it attained the size of a hickory
nut. He remained there under treatment and is now
perfectly cured. The process is this: A piece of
sticking plaster was put over the cancer, with a cir«
