Hoi' to A'rrnt 1 h<«<- DanKerono ar.'i Painful Sore., A felon isas' vere and usually a most painful inflammation of the end of the finger. mor" commonly either the thumb or index finger of the right hand, for the reason that these an most exposed f,. the little wounds from which the trouble starts- hut any of the fingers, or even one of ti■■■ t""s, may be the seat of a felon. The intlaum on starts generally] from the prick m h pin or needle or I fi >in a scratch <r cut, but often the wound is so slight that no notice is taken of it until the linger begins to grow sore. The soreness soon passes in to actual pain, and this rapidly becomes most intense and throbbing, and some times is felt all-the way up the arm. It is worse, when the hand is allowed to hang down. The ball of the finger is hot, red and swollen. At the same time the patient feels more or less ill, is fe verish, and has a headache and rapid pulse. When the inflammation is deep seat ed, pus collects beneath the periosteum, or membrane covering the bone, and this greatly increases the distress as well as the danger. If allowed to go on unrelieved, the inflammation may creep up the finger into the palm of the hand, and then the condition becomes a most serious one. In almost any case when once pus lias formed beneath the perios teum more or less of the bone will die, leaving the end of the finger crippled or disfigured by a deep scar. When the treatment is begun very early, it is sometimes possible to cut short the inflammation by cold cloths applied continuously to the inflamed part. These must be frequently renew ed. for it allowed to get warm they will act as poultices and rather hasten sup purati >n than arrest it. At the same time the arm should he kept in a sling, with the hand raised and resting on the chest. If the inflammation does not rapidly subside under this treatment, we must reverse it and try to bring matters to a head by means of poultices or wet cloths applied as hot as they can be borne and changed very often. The only thing to be done when pus has formed is to ent the finger and let it out. This is painful enough for the instant, but it will prevent many days of acute suffering and all danger of severe inflammation of the hand and arm, with subsequent blood poisoning —Youth’s Com pa n ion. SECONDHAND SHOES. 1.1 I <-n si» <• llepairn Muy Be Made For ’ V cry lit lie .Money. A sign hanging in front of a shoe maker’s shop where secondhand shoes were sold had upon it these words ‘•tseeondhand Shoes With New I Tppers. It seemed almost as though a pair of secondhand shoes with new uppers would be practically new- shoes, but in quiry showed that this impression was not warranted by the facts. There is a good deal of fresh material in a pair of shoes thus repaired, but there is also kit a good deal of th.- old. The m-w upper thus put in is a new vamp, the front part of the upper. The old counter, or back part of the shoe, still remains It is a familiar fact that while the <-ount'-r may break down or wear out or get a hole in it somehow it is much more likely to stay sound and good. It is the front that cracks and br.-ahs. Awl so in putting secondhand shoes in order new vamps are some times put in. But while such a shoe, which had til-" be. n sol I and he 1< d, might easily be <l<-cril>> d as having un dergone > x’tensive repairs it would still be far from wholly new. Th ■..• nld remain, I--ides tin- old counter, the shank awl the inner s.-T awl theg -n oral shay.'awl iramew rk of the shoe, and upon these ‘.he repairs could be mad' Secondhand shoes bring various prices, depending on their original quality and their condition. A pair i f secondhand shoes, resoled and reheeled and with new uppers, can be bought f. >r as littl" as a dollar. New York Sun. For Diabetes use Stu art’s Gin and Buchu.

The kidnevs are responsible for more sic' j suffering, ana deaths than any otb r organs of the body. A majority of the ills afflicting people today is traceable to kidney trouble. It pervades all classes of society, in all cli me ■«, regardless of age, sex or condition. Tut mptoins of kidney trouble are un mistai. . • , such as rheumatism, neuralgia sleeple -sness, pain or dud ache in the back a desire to urinate often day or n.ght, pro fuse or scanty supply. Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pois oned and germ-tilled blood. Sometimes the heart ac's badly, and tube casts (wast ing of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result in Bright's Disease, the most dangerous form of kid ney trouble.
