SOME EXCELLENT RULES TO FOLLOW IN THE CARE OF THEM, One of the most skilled dentists in New York gives these rules for the care of the teeth: Use a soft brush and water the temperature of the mouth. Brush the teeth up and down in the morning, before going to bed, and after eating, whether it is three or six times a day. Use a good tooth powder twice a week, not oftener, except in case of sickness. when the acids from a disordered stomach are apt to have an unwholesome effect upon the dentine. Avoid all tooth pastes and dentifrices that foam in the mouth; the lather is a sure sign of soap and soap injures the gums, without in any way cleansing the teeth. The very best powder is of precipitated chalk; it is absolutely harmless and will clean the enamel without affecting the gums. Orris root or a little winter-green added gives a pleasant flavor, but in no way improves the chalk. At least a quart of tepid water should be used in rinsing the mouth. A teaspoonful of Listerine in half a glass of water used as a wash and gargle after meals is excellent; it is good for sore or loose gums; it sweetens the mouth, and is a valuable antiseptic, destroying promptly all odors eminating from diseased gums and teeth. Coarse, hard brushes and soapy dentifrices cause the gums to recede, leaving the dentine exposed. Use a quill pick if necessary after eating, but a piece of waxed floss is better. These rules are worth heeding. Be assured of the genuine Listerine by purchasing an original bottle.

WHEN will doctors learn to make their prescriptions so clear that they cannot be misunderstood? A German paper reports this dialogue: (Continued on next leaf.) Dr. Murrell, of the Royal Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, London, states as follows: "Myrtus Chekan I have tested in fifteen cases of chronic bronchitis, all the patients with one exception being men. The age of the woman was 51; the ages of the men ranged from 36 to 58. They were all bad cases, most of them of many years' duration. Many of them had been attended at the hospital for some considerable time, and almost without exception they had in former years undergone much medical treatment with comparitively little benent. Their occupations exposed them to cold, and wet, and draught, and in some instances they had the additional disadvantage of working in a dusty atmosphere. They complained chiefly of paroxysmal cough, with thick, yellow expectoration, and much shortness of breath on exertion. On physical examination of the chest, emphysema was detected, with or without a little rhonchus of the bases behind. They were, in fact, ordinary cases of winter-cough, The FLUID EXTRACT of Chekan was ordered in two-drachm doses in a little water every four hours, the dose usually being increased at the expiration of a week to half an ounce. The medicine was always taken without difficulty. In all cases the patient obtained some benefit, and in most instances the relief was very marked. There was in a few days a decided improvement in the cough expectoration was from the first easier and soon diminished in quantity, and finally the dyspnoea was less."

The rest hangs like dust about the brain, or dries like raindrops off the stones.-FROUDE New and Prompt Antidote to Morphine and Opium Poisoning. Dr. William Moore, of 355 Boulevard, W., New York City, has recently made a discovery which will prove of the greatest value in the science of toxicology. It is nothing less than a complete and rapid antidote for poisoning by opium and its alkaloids, the remedy itself being comparatively harmless. Heretofore one great difficulty in the treatment of morphine poisoning was the danger of poisoning the patient with. the antidote-atropine. Dr. Moore has found that PERMANGANATE OF POTASSIUM is the long sought ideal antidote to morphine and opium. His theory is that the permanganate, which is ordinarily deoxidized in the stomach by the gastric juices, would, if morphine be present in solution, first attack and oxidize it, thereby rendering it harmless. Dr. Moore is still pursuing further experiments, and will give a detailed report to the profession. How far this fact may be available in the treatment of the morphine habit, or whether it will be of any value at all in that field, does not yet appear. Thus permanganate of potassium has recently assumed a position of great importance among the leading drugs in the matera medica, especially as an emergency drug, it having been demonstrated to be effective in snake bite, phosphorus poisoning and morphine poisoning. We hope to give further details upon this subject next month. Preparation for Medical Practice.
