HANDY MEDICAL NOTES.

Sudden deaths, “ Hall’s Journal of

Health ” says, do not come from heart 1 • ' disease—tone case in 20 —-but from con- V . gestion of the lungs or brain, or from n 1 /-apoplexy. More die from congestion ~ ‘ of the lungs than of the brain, and more of congestion of the brim than apoplexy. Sudden death from heart : , disease is usually caused by rupture of some large hrtery near the heart; from congestion of .the lungs by instantly . stopping the breath; from congestion ' of the brain, by causing pressure of the brain, which paralyses and instantly destroys life; from apoplexy by hemorr hage in the brain. Heart disease most frequently results from neglected or .improperly treated rheumatism. It , i more • often follows mild rheumatism ■ than rthe - severe kind, because severe ■ - rheumatism receives prompt treatment, ■ while the mild form is often neglected and left to work its way to the heart. Persons who suppose themselves suf fering from heart disease because they have a pain in the region of the heart, or •. > palpitation, seldom have any disease of ‘ ■ that organ. In nine cases out of ten they are suffering from dyspepsia—nothing more. Congestion of the lungs is most frequently caused by a sudden change from the heat of an ill-ventilated ’* room or railroad car or horse car to the cold air outside, without being pro =;: ■ tected by sufficient clpthing; hence - many persons thus seized drop dead in the streets. Congestion -of the brain 1’ most frequently results from trouble and •anxiebf'bf mind, producing sleepless ness, followed by the engorgement of the small blood vessels of the brain, sudden loss of vital power and almost instant death. Apoplexy may be an inherited disease, or it may be induced by too free living, or its opposite, too - great abstemiousness. Paralysis may 1 affect only a Small portion of the body, ‘ , from a finger or toe to an entire limb, ~ or it may disable half the body or the 1 whole body, when death soon follows. When 'half the body is affected by paralysis we may be certain that the seat of the disease ,is in the opposite

side of the brain, because nerve fibres K ' cross. Partial paralysis is often tem porary when caused by the rupture of a ;(■ araall.blocd vessel, if the clot is got " - rid -Of by absorption or otherwise. * 1 Although this is a disease that all classes „ . of people are liable to, its most destruc tive work is done among the de praved and -dissipated. There is no ■ ddubt that the habitual use of tobacco ; t is one,of the most prominent causes of paralysis and other nerve diseases. A severe cold is soonest cured by remain ing within doors in a warm room and near a fire unfit all signs of it have dis - appeared. Then care should be taken to prevent a relapse by having the feet warmly clad, and the whole body, and particularly the chest: and back of the neck, well protected; when going out. A recent cough will almost always yield to the following treatment within two or three days:—Mix in a bottle four ounces of ; glycerine, two ounces of of morphine. Shake well Dose, for '^anradult —one or two - teaspponsfuls ‘ every'tWp ori three hours; Half this

, , quantity .to children from 10 to 15 : years old. ■ ■ It is not safe to give it to infants or children * under 10 years of age. To stop bleeding, if from a - ' cavity in the jaw after a tooth has been 'extracted, shape a cork into the proper form and size to cover the cavity, and long enough to be kept firmly in place when . " believe is our own invention, and we have, never known-jt to fail. It has . us ihdespefaSte cases. When an 1 J ' artery is cut the red , blood spurts out , at each pulsation. Press the thumb firmly over • the artery near the wound, and on the side toward the heart. Press hard enough to-stop the r!’ bleeding,, and wait till a physician comes. The wounded is often able to - do this himself if he has the requisite knowledge. Simple fractures may be adjusted by almost anyone. Get the limb' as nearly as possible in the natural position,- and then send for the < • There is no great urgency in

J such cases. In fracture of the skull 'with compression and loss of conscious- Ji/- httss, examine the wound, and,, if pos l raise the broken edges of the '-skull ,so as-to relieve the pressure on >■; ’the brain. - Prompt action will often save life. In case of poisoning, the : ; J _ simple rule ,is to get the poison of the stomach as soon as possible. Mustard and salt act ,ji.- ' promptly as emetics, and they are always at hand. Stir a tablespoonful in n ' a*glasS of water and let the person “ • "'"Swallow it quickly. If it does not pro duc|e' ybmiting in five minutes repeat “the dose." After vomiting give whites of two or three ' eggs and send for the doctor.' Burns and scalds are soonest relieved ■’ by an application of cold water.' Dry of soda, or baking soda, sprinkled over the burned jspßt is ihejajest remedy, and is said to ' ‘■CiPt very- effectual. These means are Tpnly temporary. - In -severe cases a Stc l'pbysici&i should be sent for.

THE AUCKLAND CRICKETERS AT O AMARU.

[by telegraph. J Oamahtj, To-day. The Oatnaru men scored 88 in their first innings yesterday. The match was re sumed to-day at 1.30. The weather was splendid. The Auckland men, with six wickets down for 142, resuming their first innings, Gardner and O’Brien, the not outs of yesterday, took their places at the wickets, the former taking the first ball, from Walls, G. Millington bowling at the other end. Gardner played both bowlers for singles, and slipped Walls neatly for a couple, both men got ' singles, and then O’Brien put Walls prettily to leg for a couple. 150 appeared on the telegraph board. Gardner lifted Walls away to long-on for 2, and singles continued to augment the score. O’Brien, who had now been in long enough to get rid of any surplus nervousness, got Walls prettily, to leg for 3, and 160 appeared. Gardner let out again at Millington, and got 2, but was clean bowled by a neat ball, 7—11 —163. Buckland was the next man in, and the bowler put his field well out. The precaution was unnecessary, the third ball taking his stumps, 8—0—163. Gill followed him. O’Brien

followed him with a grand leg-hit off Watts’ for 4, and Gill similarly operated on Millington for 2, and singles brought 170 up. Gill now be came decidedly lively, slogging bowlers all over the field, and especially to leg, one grand drive for 3 was out of the boundary. Hewat was put on at the upper end, and yet Gill flourished, O’Brien was playing more carefully, and consequently scored less rapidly, follow ing with .several singles. Gill skied Mil lington close to the pavilion, and got 3 .more. 190 was registered on the tele graph, and Gill, by two more fine drives,, added half a dozen more. It now appeared pretty certain that the score would exceed 200, but for fully five minutes not a run came. _ Watts replaced Millington, and Gill signified his

approbation by hitting him away twice to long field for 3. The telegraph now showed 200, with a decidedly upward tendency. Walsh was again taken off, and Milling ton resumed his old place. Gill skied the first to cover - point, where he was splendidly chught by Kneen, 9 —l3l the last man, and was nearly caught by the longstop off the first ball but missed it. O’Brien continued to improve his score by some good cutting for singles. Lankam got another leg (single), and then put Walsh prettily to leg, but only got 1 run. O’Brien did the same several times in rapid succession. Lankam cut Walls neatly for 2, and driving Millington brought 220 up. The scoring now became rapid, O’Brien running out slogging Walls’ short pitched balls. Singles brought Lankam within double figures, when O’Brien, running up to Millington, was stumped, 10—35—235. Lankham carried out his bat for 10.
