ANODYXES, from a Greek word anodunot,. which signifies “ that which relieves pain.” ' Anodynes act in three ways : by actually assuaging pain, as by cupping ; by inducing sleep, as with laudanum; or by stup\fying the senses, as with chloroform. 'I'hese remedies » should be applied with great care, or they may only aggravate the pain which is sought t to be relieved. 11 should also be observed I that an habitual resort to these agents i should by all means be avoided, as by re- • petition their operation is weakened, and , the means must necessarily be augmented! from time to time in order to accomplish; the desired end. It is obvious, therrfore,. that these repeated demands upon the system tend to enervate and weaken it, so ^ that the good accomplished by the tempo- - rary lulling of local pain is far outbalanced', by the perrriaueiit injury sustained by the.- general health.

ANT.—There is a variety of methods forr destroying this insect, so troublesome and. noxious bothin pastureland.«,andtofruitand llower trees. To prevetd their approach to trees night-soil should be laid about thei roots, or the eiirth round the foot of the treei should be constantly turned up, and plenti- ■ lully strewn with coalashes or sawdust. To drive away or kill them, dig up the nests, and . mi.x the earth with gas iim^ or pour some; quick lime with boiling water into the mouth of the nest. Another way is to smear the inside of a garden pot with honey, invert it over the nest, and when crowded with them hold it over the steam of boiling water; and a simpler method still is to turn .a flower-pot with its hole stopped up over the nest. After a time ants will build in ; it, and the whole colony may be removed with the spade. These insects may be kept away from cupboards by having a small bag. of camphor hung up in it.
