LUMBAGO.
Diet and Treatment For Thie Distreee-
ing Affection.
This distressingly painful affec
tion is muscular rheumatism located
in the large muscles of the loin.
The attack usually comes on quite
suddenly, sometimes seizing the suf
ferer in the middle of a walk with
out the slightest premonition. The
pain is intense and is increased by
th*» slightest motion of the body.
The victim of lumbago or any
other form of muscular rheumatism
becomes painfully aware of the fact,
which perhaps he had not before
realized, <li the great flexibility of
the body am! of the intimate rela
tion between the different parts of
the body, for it seems impossible
for him to make any motion what
ever of the head or of the arms
without feeling a sharp twinge in
the back. He dare not turn in bed,
Lift his head or even raise his arms,
for every movement seems to be
originated and performed by the
sore back muscles.
There may be a little swelling of
the affected region, but usually
there is no external sign of the
great well of misery lying just be
neath the skin. The pain lasts a
few days or a week and may then
disappear as rapidly as it came, al
though there is often considerable
soreness or an occasional twinge for
a day or two.
Lumbago may be distinguished
from pain in the back due to other
causes by the fact that the agony is
extreme whenever the slightest
movement is made and is absent or
at least bearable when the patient
lies perfectly quiet in bed, and also
that the muscles are tender when
gently squeezed. The affection is
more common in men than in wom
en and attacks adults chiefly, the
muscular rheumatism of children
taking the form usually of wryneck.
Why this should lie so it is difficult
to say.
Lumbago occurs more frequently
in gouty persons, although that i>
no explanation, since we do not
know why the loins should suffer
in gouty individuals more than the
muscles of the neck.
In mild cases the drinking of an
abundance of water to which some
baking soda is added may give a
measure of relief. Gentle rubbing
of the parts with a cloth dipped in
ammonia and hot water will often
mitigate the suffering, Hnd after the
rubbing a cloth wet with this
solution may be laid on the parts
and covered with a hot water bottle.
The diet should be light, without
meat or highly seasoned food and
especially without beef tea or meat
broths of any kind The bowels
should be kept open.
One who is subject to lumbago
should be careful to avoid a chill
and should live frugally, drinking
only plain water or milk.
Sometimes the attacks are pre
vented or made less frequent by the
wearing of a broad flannel belt ovei
the underclothing,

BULL EXERCISER.
A Devioe That Hardens Muscle and
Tonee Down Temper.
The necessity of some form of exer
cise for the stock bull has long been
recognized, and many devices have
been experimented with. Mr. F. E.
Dawley In Country Gentleman pro
nounces the pole and sweep shown lu
tbe cut the most satisfactory device
that he has ever used. Mr. Dawley
describee the device as follows, and
tbe arrangement Is easily understood,
although one of the chains alluded to
to uot discernible In the cut:
It is made by setting a heavy post
deeply in the ground, letting It extend
up about six feet. A band is placed
on the top, and a section of an old
steel wagon axle with the box attach
ed is driven Into the end. This post
should not be less than ten inches

through at the top. A hardwood sweep
Is cut and the center of gravity de
termined by balancing It over a saw
horse. A hole Is then bored through
this sweep at the center of gravity and
the box securely fastened Into it. It Is
then set back en the axle, thff Sweep
swinging on the axletree. Two short v
chains are attached to the small end
of the sweep. To the lower end ot
one of these a swivel bar clevis Is at
tached. To the other a very heavy
snap is fastened. A piece ot old two
inch tug or a strong leather collar la
placed on tbe bull’s neck, being held
tn place by two short flat head bolts,
which are far better than a buckle,
And a ring is placed on this collar.
When the bull is led out before liber
ating him ft>m the staff the large snap
on one of the chains Is snapped Into
this ring. The bar clevis Is then screw
ed Into the ring in the bull’s nose,
when he is ready to take his exercise.
The first time uu animal Is hitched
It may be necessary to drive him
around und to work the sweep for
him in order to get him accustomed to
it. The chains should be so adjusted
that the one attached to the strap on
hla neck will swing the sweep
It
should be long enough ao he enn reach
the ground. By the use of this device
I have kept a bull until he was four
teen years old In such condition that
his muscles were hard anti firm and
he was vigorous and virile. One great
advantage In exercising the animal«
In thia way is that they become Ac
customed to being handled and are
very giuch more tractable than when
