It seldom happens, when a bicyclist is thrown from his wheel or receives injuries by other means, that a sur­ geon can be had on call. It is, there­ fore, necessary that they should under­ stand how to treat Avounds which they or their companions receive. The up- to-date wheelmen are taking time by the forelock and ascertaining what measures should be taken to afford themselves temporary relief in case of injury on the road. Even a few min­ utes' delay when ^u artery has been severed may mean the death of the rider. The Society for instruction in First Aid to the Injured, with head­ quarters in New York and branches iu other cities, is turning its attention es­ pecially to instructing bicyclists in help­ ing themselves or their fellow wheel­ men in case of accident. Lectures will be given in the fall before cycling cJlubs. in which all forms of road injuries will be dealt with. Here is a list of the most common accideuts and brief instructions for immediate assistance.

Contusions are the simplest wounds made by falls and are usually disre­ garded by hardy wheelmen. Tins rem­ edy is to bathe as soon as possible iu alcohol and water, Pond's • extract or laudanum. Anything cwitaining, alco­ hol will act efficaciously. The simplest falls are usually front inexperienced riding, or from slipping on wet pave­ ments. Shock is a condition so common and so dangerous that its remedy must be kept constantly in mind. The action of the heart has been interfered with through the nerve centers and unless promptly attended to may produce grave consequences. The treatment con­ sists in applying heat to the body as quickly as possible. Stimulants should be given in small quantities except in cases of injury to the head, when heat alone should be resorted to. The near­ est house should be called on for hot wet towels. Sudden collisions between two wheels or between a wheel and some other object will nearly always products some degree of shock. Brokeu ribs are almost the invaria­ ble outcome where several riders, going at the top of their speed, fall one on top of the other. If, in this accident, the sufferer groans continually and has much difficulty in breathing, per­ haps spitting a little blood at intervals, there is nothing t.o do but moisten his lips with liquor and carry him as gently as possible to the nearest hospital. For simple fracture, where the boue is broken but does not protrude, there is 110 need to hurry. Give the patient a little stimulant and handle as little as possible until the surgeon arrives. For fracture of the collar bone, lay the pa­ tient flat on his back and keep him practically quiet; but if it is absolutely necessary to move him before the bone is set do not forget to put a large pad in the armpit and bind the arm to the side with the hand and forearm across the chest. A broken arm or leg can readily be seen if it is a compound fracture. In this case little can be done but protect the wound from dirt and treat the pa­ tient the same as from shock, unless there be bleeding, when it should be treated as any other hemorrhage. Dislocations should be kept wet in cool water until medical aid arrives. Sprains, which are especially common for beginners, should be bathed in hot water if possible and kept perfectly quiet until bandaged. Cold water will also give relief.

With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys­ ical ills which vanish before proper ef­ forts--gentle efforts--pleasant efforts-- rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to an(y actual dis­ ease, but simply to a constipated condi­ tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt­ ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene­ ficial effects, to note when you pur­ chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep­ utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa­ tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

You need not answer the question, madam, for in your case age is not counted by years. It will always be true that "a woman is as old as she looks." Nothing sets the seal of age so deeply upon woman's beauty as gray hair. It is natural, therefore, that every woman is anxious to preserve her hair in all its original abundance and beauty; or, that being denied the crowning gift of beautiful hair, she longs to possess it. Nothing is easier than to attain to this gift or to preserve it, if already possessed. Ayer's Hair Vigor restores gray or faded hair to it3 original color.
