A general princi- ple of treatment may be stated here of vast and vital importance which applies in all diseases, but which is usually ignored in pop- ular practice. It is this ; Balance the cir- culation. In all acute diseases— in all fev- ers, inflamations and congestions—the cir- culation is unbalanced—there is too much blood in some parts of the system and too little in others. The tirst thing to do in such cases is to restore the balance as far as possible—not by barbarously drawing the blood out of the system altogether, but by drawing it from one part to another by warm applications, as a rule, where it is de- ficient and cool where it is excessive. Dis- ease is simply an effort of the system to purify itself—to cast out poisons and ob- structions, and repair damages. This re- medial action is sometimes too concentrated and violent, as in high fevers, inflammations and congestions, and should be distributed by balancing the circulation. If your doctor is not doing this and attending to the hy- gienic conditions noted above, but is sim- ply giving you poisons to " cure " you, dis- charge him, and take your chances with Hy- fjiea, as you will be better without him. Seventh and last, do what good you can to your fellows, and keep a clear conscience that you may enjoy life and sleep abundant- ly. Selby Ont. Jan. 10 V1'M\. Apis Dorsata and Other Large Bees. .1. E.
