we have seen just such consistency in If liberal fien V movements in this territory the slanderers slander ers and I 1 li bellers who defame the good and misrepresent facts and principles cannot

professor john clay of queens col coi lege oil oli a new method of Ar eating treating that terrible disease cancer which has carried affuso many victims even under the most skillful treatment professor clays treatment dispenses entirely with the use of the knife perhaps this statement will provoke c a smile from surgeons of the old school of practice as they generally look upon those who pretend to the discovery of no stroms for the cure of cancer by drugs and plasters asters as quacks and impostors gut but nut they may change their minds after hearing what is certified to by a professor of obstetrics in an en english hospital and bublis published hed iuso inso in so r respectable e spec pec table tabie a paper as the lancet the new remedy is chian cillan or cyprus

with uniform benefit in this combination he describes as follows the first case in which chaftel anter after 16 long nd study of the subject he lie attempted the use of the new remedy on a woman who was taken to the hospital afflicted with cancer of tho the cervix and body of the uterus hemorrhage was excessive pain of the back and abdomen agonizing and cancerous well marked th the c patient evidently had not a long time to live in such a case it appeared to be justifiable to attempt to relieve the sufferings of the patient even if the remedy should produce unfavorable symptoms or should prove of no avalis avails I 1 there therefore fore prescribed chian turpentine six grains rains ralus flowers of sulphur four grains to be made into two pills to trains bo 0 taken every four hours no opiates were prescribed or lotion used no change was to be made in her diet or occupation on the fourth day after taking the medicine the patient reported herself greatly relieved from pain and was in better spirits but she complained of a large amount of discharge it was feared that she referred to a discharge of a ous nature on examination however the vagina was found to be filled math a dirty

grains emins water to 16 oz I 1 oz three times daily the following renu remarks arks of dr clay will explain his theory of the action of the turpentine in dissolving the tumor and giving permanent relief in a disease considered by many to be incurable tho the tho turpentine appears to act upon the periphery of the growth with great vigor causing the speedy disappearance of what ahac is usually termed the cancerous infiltration and thereby arresting the further development of the tumor it produces equally efficient resu results I 1 ts on the whole mass seemingly C destroying its vitality but

tile the casesi madg I 1 have described ed no sedative was employed in any ilis 1118 instance tanco tance although in some cases where wh erm ere great greaf pain had existed previously to commencing the tile treatment large doses had llad been given whether this tills arrest of pain arises from the death of tilo the tumor or as iny my son suggests is due to there being no longer irritation of the

attention of lIn english glish ladies a to the necessity for dress ress reform that paper deplores the lack of real taste in won womans lonians ians lans costume even amon among ladies who are gifted with artistic powers who can draw and paint and who are familiar with objects of beauty and have the tie tle advantage of the society of acknowledged ltd t ed artists and says ato to dress so that their aspect and that of all who imitate their fashion should be beautiful 1 in the sense which satisfies a fine and pure taste would be to render not only to af hand artists bul bu to the tho th world at large a avery very great benefit 11 that is the kind of dress reform that we have aimed to advocate this would set the world ef of woman free from the slavish chains of fashion the error into which the ladies fall in this tills respect is a sheep like ilke following of styles prescribed without their voice or vote and these fashions are in very many instances first started by women whose social standing is outside the pale of purity the desire to make aa ar attractive appearance is inborn in woman some people deplore this and would destroy destro yit it if they could but they cannot succeed either by reason ridicule or force because their W efforts are ard a war against nature As well might we find fault with that power which expresses itself as much in forms of beauty and colors that delight all beholders as in grandeur order and might as to condemn woman for the love of adornment which is a gift of heaven as natural as the powers of the henses but in the vast variety of shapes and colors and trimmin trimmings gsand and dainty bits of ornament that are culand contrived and gleaned from the broad domain doun of the floral kingdom surely there is enough for each to select that is suitable and harmonious with each different style of form height carriage and complexion without the need for conformity to the edicts of the dressmaker or the self constituted leaders of fashion yet blind obedience to these decrees seems so be the rule and ladies bend to them with common consent regardless of frequent and glaring incongruities laughable absurdities and palpable inconvenient inconveniences ces the ladies of utah have received many words of counsel on the subject act of fashions follies and the propriety of dress reform we cannot say that the advice has in many cases been received according to its value perhaps wrong inferences have been drawn in regard to its ios it 8 meaning the revelation is regard repard athis matter does not decry adornment it speak speaks s of the beauty of our garments without disapproval but says it should be the beauty of the tiia workmanship of thine own hands if that word of wisdom was vas obeyed the despotism of fashion aou dibe dibo overthrown and woman would be free each one would devise that which is suitable and becoming without regard to any fixed style to be changed by t the he dictates of others comfort as well as beauty would be studied freedom of motion and ease easo of body more than formulated lines and fixed cuts and special dimensions ono one cause of the failure of many projected rejected dress reforms is the tendency of strong minded women either to ape the masculine or to run towards the eitrem of utility regardless gard ioas less of the ornate and attractive violent and radical changes such as have been attempted defeat their own object and make their projectors objects of ridicule instead of bene beno factors of their sex the idea ofa of a uniform for woman is not intended in this advice about dress reform god does not make people ali keany more than the flowers and the tiie trees variety is exhibited in all his universe we can learn of him by studying his works in the heavens above and the earth beneath and while we see that ho he delights in beauty wo we may also perceive that liar ilar harmony mony moDy of tints and adaptation of shape to color and size to form are plainly exhibited in ail all his glorious handiwork in these are hints for his children whatever he ile clothes is covered and adorned with garments suitable and proper to meet alike

the subject of dross reform A HINT hanf TO housewives twe tre T THE wf fruit crop of utah is of great value A largo large quantity of driel dried apples plums peaches etc is jig exported annually in adli addition tion to that reserved for home consumption of f late years tin cans and glass bottles have been very extensively brought into use for preserving fruit for winter uw use this is perhaps the best method that can be employed to retain the natural flavor of tile tiie fruit the acid in some kinds however appears to be destructive to the tin coating of the cans in use and they are spoilt in ono seasons season suse use hence the glass bottles although more expensive at first cost are arc better and cheaper in the tile long run for that kind of fruit than the cheaper article but we have noticed several allusions in the papers recently to injurious proceeding from tho tha eating of or fruit kept in a zinc covered bottle or jar the object of thib this article is to call attention to the report of a new york chemist in a case of poisoning in in brooklyn when four persons were seriously injured by eating cherries put up in a jer jar jay with a zinc zine cover the chemist said sald atlie the presence of a zinc zine compound in the was unmistakable and it appeared in such abundance that some lack of precaution in preparing the fruit seemed probable I 1 learned however upon inquiry that the preserving had been done with scrupulous care by a friend of th tha a family moreover the contents of other jars of the collection prepared at the same time had been eaten without unpleasant results As the jars yet unopened were placed at my disposal through the politeness of mr gilbert whose family had been poisoned I 1 selected one having a zinc top with a porcelain lining there was no indication of zinc in the contents of this jar I 1 then poured about a fluid ounce of the of this jar into the cover of the first jar and warmed it over a water bath for three quarters of an hour the solution thun than yielded promptly to the test for zinc the case is not without parallel but it is not sufficiently well known to the public that zinc yields so readily to the action of fruit acids and consequently that the use of zinc or galvanized iron in the preparation or preservation of canned fruits is not free from danger this is a matter worthy of attention and we advise the house bouse housewives 3 of utah to avoid avold putting u tt ing their preserves or bot bottled ti dp fruit into contact with zinc or what is called galvanized iron which Is not really gal but coated with a preparation of zinc if they do not want wane wan I 1 to introduce sickness into tile the family and dish up beath death with mith their dainties FLESH |
