Ono of thu simplest and best reme dies for iuflummution or strain is to batho the eyes iu wuriii water. Another good remedy is u solution of suit und water mudo by putting a ttuspoonful ot fine table suit into u bulf pint of wuter. Let it boil, and when cold struiu it, ru moving any particles or sediment. Put ting this on the outside of the lids ii simply a waste of time. Tho eye should be opened, thu lids drawn back, and the iulluiued portiou touched with a cumel's hair brush dipped iu thu salt water. Outside applications do not reach the scut of thu ailment. A teutpoonfol of Lorucic ucid in half a pint of wuter pro pared in thu sumo wuy is excellent. If there are granulations and very serious inflammation, boil u teaspoonful of alum in a pint of water until it is dis solved, then struiu or filter us described und apply with a cumel's huir brunb several times a duy. This is cue of th most cfllcucious of remedies. Ksv York Ledger. l in ii or i"oopie 'mat; Are Sick or "Just Don't I latAreftlB I A KILLS Fool Well." ONLY out roo A nmc Remsmt Himpl-i, curM Headier.
