It has been the role to consider nasal catarrh almost entirely»local disease, and one which has very little effect upon the general system. All thia ia being rapidly disproved, and it i* being shown th.it if the nose is ia an unhealthy state there i* quite a brag list of affections which may lie induced in consequence. Hay fever has often been cured by ap-

plication"70 certain points in the nasal swtjied (stole), passages. Astlunm, also, has yielded to short. 1 wapt ter iHirrar'^the same treatment. It is a well known

fact that when the victim of catarrh suffers from dyspepsia scarcely any improvement in the latter can he made, no matter what is done for it, until the

Evidence is not wanting to show that severe functional disturbances of the lung*, and even of the heart, are sauiitimra tndnerd by nasal trouble. Recently there was reported the case of a woman who had had epilepsy fur several year*, and although she liad jiatieutly sought re-lief no imjirovemeut took place until applications were made to her nose and it* condition improved. Under that line of treatment entire recovery occurred. Very many other case* are on re-cord which show that the relation between the time and otlH-r parts of the system is very intimate, tlie connection being of course through tlie nerve system.—Hall's Journal of Health.

It would lutve been ludicrous, if anything con bo ludicrous connected with war. Commodore Elliot Was hliwlrsding a Rtuaiian squadron iu the Gulf of Haghalin. ou the east coast of Siberia. Thinking he had the Russians in a cn] de sac he complacently waited for them to come, ont, as the water was too shallow for him to attack them. A* the enemy didnotrome ont he sent in to investigate. and found to his astonishment that Rnsstans and ships had vanished. While be had been waiting for them iu the south they bail quietly slipped out by tbe north, teaching both him and the British government a rather severe lesson in grogra|ihy, as it had Iscn thought that Saghxlin was an isthmus, and they were totally unaware of a narrow channel leading from the gulf to the Sea of.
