THE PREVENTION OF DI SEASE. 'Prevention is fir better than core and to cheaper,' said John Locke, two hundred years ago ; and the history of medical science has since made it more sod more probable that, in a stricter senae of the word, ftevertioo * the only possible cure. By observing the beallh laws of nature, a sound consti tution can be very easily preserved, but, If a violation of those laws has brought on a disease, all we can do by way of 'curing' that disease is to re move the cause ;* in other words, to prevent the continued operation of the predisposing circumstances. Suppressing the symptoms in any other way means only to change the form of the diiease, or to postpone its crisis. Thua, mereurial slaves will cleanse the skin by driving the ulcers from the surface to the interior of the body] opiates stop a flux only bv par alysing the bowels—i. turning their morbid activity into a morbid inactivity; the symptoms of pn<>nmrmi> can be suppressed by bleed ing the patient till the exhausted ays tem has to postpone the crisis of the disease. This process, the 'breaking up of a sickness," in the language of the old school aUopatbists, is, there fore, in reality, only an interrupting of it, a temporary interruption of the symptoms. We might as well try to <*re the sleepiness of * weary child by pinching its eyelids, or the hunger oC a whining dog by compressing bis throat Drugs are not wholly useless. If my life depended upon a job of work that had to be finished before morning, and the inclination to fall aslepp was getting irresistible, I should not hesi tate to defy nature, and keep myself awake with cup aftefc cupful of strong Mack coffee. If I were afflicted with a sore, spreading rapidly from my tem ple toward my nose, I should suppress it by the shortest process, even by de liberately producing a larger sore else where, rather than let the smaller one destroy my eyesight. There are also two or three forma of diseases which have (thus far) restated all unmedicinal cures, and can hardly be trusted to the healing powers of nature—the lues venerea, scabies, and prurigo—because, as Clauds Bernard suggests, their symytoms are probably due to the agency of microscopic parasites, which oppose to the action of the vital forces a life energy of their own, or, as Dr. Jennings puts it, 'because art has here to interfere—not for the purpose of breaking up diseased action, but for the removal of the cause of that ac tion, the destruction of an active virus - that possesses the power of self-per petuation beyond the dislodging abili ty of nature.' But with those rare exceptions it is better to direct our efforts against the cause rather than the symptoms— i.e., in about ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is not only the safer bat also the shorter way to avoid drugs, reform our habits, and, for the rest, let nature have her 'course; for, properly rkiag, disease itself is a reconstruc process, an expulsive effort, whose interruption compels nature to do double work; to resume her operations against the ailment after expelling a worse enemy—the drugs. If a drug gad patient recovers, the true explana tion n thai bis constitution was stroncr enough to oyercome both the disease and the druggist— Dr. Feltx L, Os wald, in Popular Science Monthly. [Battle Creek, (Mich.) Dtily Journal.] Upon being spoken to concerning St. Jacobs Oil, our fellow townsman Mr. Theodore Wakelee,said : I had been suffering with rheumatism, and obtain edtbe greates relief from the use of St. Jacobs' Oil. It has also been used in my family for,some time, and has never been found to fail in giving prompt re lief. When tbefbll cares of his Presiden tial office were bearing dowu upon him; the President was one day called upon by a near friend who found him sitting with bis head clasped between hia bands. Looking up, he said, 'My God 1 Why does any man want to be President of the United States!' Why, indeed, with such possibilities as hare in this case come 1 Peruna is a sore cure for biliousness and kidney complaints; it has no equal. The late President Oarfield studied everything in detail. When be went through the Mint at San Francisco he delayed his party while be aßked questions about how money was turn ed out; and when at last be received a ailver dollar, for which he then and there offered payment, he said:—'Gen tlemen, in the next speech that I make on finances I shall be eqaal to even the milling on the dollar. I paid $l5O to my dactor and was no better. I then took a few bottleß of Pernna which cured me. 'A promiae by the river** brim A yellow primrose wu to him— And it WM nothing mote,' aaya Wordsworth of his rustic Peter Bell. But a yellow primrose is much more to the man of science, as any one may see from this definition of it by Professor Huxley: 'lt is a cowlifioral dicotyledonous exogen, with a mo nopetalous corolla and a central placenta.' If the readers of the Cm- ZXN don't see much more in a primrose hereafter than Peter Bell saw in one, it will not be Professor Huxley's fault Housekeepers, mechanics and others in handling knives, tools and other sharp instruments, very frequently re ceive severe cuts, from which the Wood profusely, apd oftentimes endan gers Itself. Blood may be made to cease to flow as foUows : Take the fine dost tea and bind it close to the wound; at all times accessible and easily obtained. After the blood has ceased to flow laudanum may be ad vantageously applied to the wound. Due regard to these instructions would save agitation of the mind and running for the surgeon. A colored man went into a drug store, and asked: 'Whst has yer dat's good for a headache ?' The druggist took down a large bottle of salts of ammonia, or some such stuff, and told the visitor to smell. As it was a free thing, be drew in a healthy inspiration that took away bis breath. It was minutes before be could talk, and when he dhl Say something it was that he would 'bust' the druggist's bead wide rn if he came at him with that bot agaiu. 'But bow about the head ache f' asked the druggist 'How de deuce can I tell ontil I goes borne and asks de o'e 'ooman She is de cullud pusson what's got de misery in her Advertise in the Cmux.
