Children subject to fits should live in a well warmed house. By this we do not mean that the rooms and hall ways should be kept hot, still less that they should be close and improperly ventilated. The temperature of the bed-room should not be lower than 70 degrees, and great care should be taken during cold weather to avoid chilling the child outdoors. Rubbing of the child's body once a day with good salad oil is an excellent and readily applied remedy in these cases. The little patients do not ordinarily object to it. As it is a procedure calculated to improve the general health, we strongly recommend every mother whose child has frequent fits, to try it. The dress of the child should be warm, loose, and comfortable. Perfect quietness is important for a time after attacks. Do not excite the child by seeking to amuse it. Let it sleep as much as it will. In those cases in which a fit has been followed by weakness of the limbs, medical assistance will of course be procured. As a rule, recovery in such instances is slow, but, when properly directed, perfect. Change of scene, country air, and exercise, friction of the body with a flesh-brush or salt towel, salt water baths, and electricity, are all valuable agents towards cure. NOSE-BLEED. Bleeding from the nose may be produced by a blow or by over-exercise of the child at play. In either case the trouble is usually a trifling one. Some children, however, are liable to attacks of nose-bleed coming on without any assignable causes. One of the consequences of scarlet fever and whooping cough is sometimes a tendency to repeated and serious spells of bleeding from the nose. The _treatment_ in these cases consists in quieting the alarm of the child if it be frightened, and in applying cold water or pounded ice to the nose and forehead and to the back of the neck. It is because of its coldness that the key placed down the back, as so commonly advised in domestic practice, does good. An exaggerated idea of the amount of blood lost is often a cause of distress to parents. They forget that the child has been bleeding in a vessel of water, and that a very little blood darkly colors a large quantity of water. Bleeding from the nose is sometimes a favorable symptom, as when it occurs during a fever, or when in girls approaching womanhood it precedes the expected signs of puberty. It is an unfavorable symptom, however, in scrofulous children and in girls affected with green-sickness, as in these instances it aggravates the existing disorders. In those rare cases of protracted bleeding which resist the remedies we have mentioned, it may be necessary for the surgeon to plug the nostrils, both in front and at their opening into the throat. This extreme measure is fortunately scarcely ever called for, and can only be carried out by the physician. WORMS.
