CURE FOR CORPULENCE.

A Well Known Parisian Specialist's Coarse Tor Undue Flesh. ' The following is recommended' by Dr. Dujardin-Beaumetz for the reduction of corpulence by persons whose hearts, and arteries.are sound: Every morning a;general body sponging with hot eau de cologno and water, followed by dry rubbing, and massage. A tumblerful of purgative water Is then administered.' At the end of each' meal a dessertspoonful of the following solution is. swallowed: Fifteen grams of iodide of potassium and 250 grams of water. The undermentioned regimen- is to be rigorously observed: First meal, at 8 a. m., a cup of chocolate and. 20 grams of bread. Second meal, two eggs or 100 grams of meat, 100 grams of green vegetables or salad, 15 grams of cheese,' a little fruit, 50 grams of bread, one glass and a half of liquid ($ lightrwhito vdne with Yichy water). Third meal, at 7p. m., no soup, 100 grams of meat, 100. grams of green Vegetables or salad, 15 grams of cheese, fruit, 50 grams of bread, one glass and a half of liquid (white wine with Vichy water).. No drinking between meals, no tea, coffee, cognac or other alcoholic beverage;' Plenty of exercise in the open air. . / Poison Versus Venom. It is common to hear people talk about “poisonous” serpents.; Quite to the contrary are the following remarks of a physician quoted by the New Orleans Picayund:’ “Serpents are never poisonous; they are venomous. A poison cannot be taken internally without bad effects; a venom can. ' Venoms to be effective have to be injected directly into the circulation, and this is the manner in which the snakes kill. Their venom, taken internally, is innocuous. • “Another popular error is the supposition that a snake bites. Probably no creature in the world provided with tepth and Jaws hits so little power of biting. . The jaws are not hinged, but are attached one to the other by cartilage. Thus a sriako can hhvo no leverage in opposing one jaw .to the other and could not in this manner pierce the. skin. The fangs are driven into the flesh by a stroke and not by a bite, A snake is harmless unless in coil. From its.coil it throws its -head and -body forward, and*, strikes or hooks its fangs into the; object aimed at. The entlre-wOrk, Is done withJjfee upper jaw, the lower jaW having noth-. ihg at all to do with it. A man striking a boathook into a pier furnishes an example of the way in which a snake strikes; Biting is a JTi»-Xp6pfcoii Siol:room> : i ■ ‘ Cut a piece of clean flannel (white is best) ojbput 10-inches or .more square.: Place this" over the top of a glass pitcher,- or even a tumbler, pressing the flannel down half way. or more into the Vessel. Then bind the flannol fast to the top of the glass with a string or. piece of tape. Now put the ice into the flannel cup and lay another piece of flannel 5 or 0 Inches square upbn the ice. Arranged thus, says American Cultivator, ice will keep many hours. • Health Hints.
