THEORY OF MEDICATED INHALATION.
DILS. HUNTER AND RAMSAY
ON THB
CURABILITY OF CONSUMPTION.
As It is the aim of thos letters to remove
popular errors in regard to pulmonary diseases,
we will say a lew words on the curability qfcon
gumption. It is not, we think, assuming too
much to say that most persons entertain grave
doubts on this subject, while many are to
thoroughly convinced of the impossibility of
curing this disease that they do not hesitate to
characterize all medication having that object
In view as "dishonest'' and "empirical." Tuber
cles in the lungs are, in their opinion, equiva
lent to the hand of death, ; and the delusion is so
deeply rooted and inveterate that we can hardly
hope common sense, plain fads, and unimpeacha
ble testimony will prove sufficient to dispel it.
Still, it will not do to lose faith in the whdom of
the old Roman maxim, Magna est Veritas et pre
valent. ,
Before we proceed to give the testimony of
others, let us endeavor to make our own views
clear on this point. The question Is, Can con
sumption be cured? Our answer is unequivo
cally, Yes, even after tubercles are deposited
after they have softened and broken down the
air-cells and bronchial tubes of the part in which
deposited, forming a cavity, the lungs can still
be healed, and the patient regain comfortable
health. Neither the presence of tubercles, nor
the actual existence of a tuberculous abscess in
the lungs, precludes the patient from the hope
ot recovery. These are our views, and however
much they may appear at variance with the
opinion generally entertained, they are borne out
by experience.
Let it not, however, be inferred from what we
have said that we do not regard consumption as
a moet alarming disease, nor that it can be cured
as readily in the last as in the first stage. What
e mean is that this disease is not necessarily
fatal in any stage that patients may recover
after the lungs have actually undergone partial
destruction by ulceration.
JIouo does cure take place t It sometimes takes
place by absorption that is to say, the tuber
cular deposit is taken up by the absorbent ves
sels, and expelled from the system, among the
excretions of the body. When the tubercular
matter is in the first stage, or not far advanced
in the second, cure generally takes place in this
way. You have, no doubt, often observed
swellings disappear, after they had existed for
weeks; have known persons to regain the natu
ral size of the neck, after years of aflliction from
goitre; have seen dropsical effusions removed;
and boils which seemed about to come to a head
fade gradually away. Whoever has seen these
changes has witnessed the cure of a disease by
absorption. Let us make this perfectly plain.
Certain vessels have the power of taking up and
expelling from the body impurities and morbid
deposits. By the action of these vessels the tu
bercular matter deposited in the lungs Is re
moved, in the same way that water disappears
when dropsy is cured without tapping. .
Another way fn which cure takes place is by
the softening and expulsion of the tubercular
matter, audthe subsequent cicatrization of the
cavity formed. When a boii breaks, its matte:' is
discharged, and then the part heals up, leaving
a rear; when an abscess forms in the flesh and
comes to a head, it discharges a quantity of pus,
and then, under proper treatment, the diseased
part heals and becomes apparently sound; when
a carbuncle has eaten a large hole into the flesh,
the dead parts gradually separate lrom the
living, the cavity granulates and fills up with
new matter, a callous forms over the whole, and
health is re-establiehed; when a scrofulous gland
breaks, and after discharging its contents, heals
up again; when a burnt surface granulates,
throws out coagulable lymph, and finally bo
comes covered with a kind of skin which we call
a cicatrix we have in each case an example of
what takes place in the lungs when a tubercular
abscess heals. The parts destroyed are never
reformed; but new matter is thrown out, which
draws the sides of the cavity together, aud seals
it up. When a toil or carbuncle Is completely
healed, it ceases to ecrete pus; and so also when
a cavity in the lungs heals, the patient ceases
to expectorate, because pus is no longer iormed.
To all intents and purposes, the cure is as per
lect in one case as in the other.
But it may be said the blood is always impure
in consumption, and hence cure will not take
place so readily in this disease as in the other
diseases mentioned. That is very true, but it
does not follow that it will not do so if the phy
biclan restores the blood to its usual purity by
proper inhalations. To accomplish this should
always be the first aim of treatment, for assuredly
no cure can be expected so long as the blood re
mains loaded with carbonaceous impurity. We
know of no means by which the blood can be
deprived of carbon except by the use of highly oxy
genated infialations; nor of any method by which
wc can act directly upon an abscess in the lungs
(as we do upon a carbuncle on the external stir
face of the body), except by medicating the air
which the patient breathes. When a more success'
ful method of treatment is discovered, the pro
fesslou will have reason to congratulate itself on
having effected on improvement upon nature !
We presume there are to be found among the
medical men some who, drawing their conclu
bious from the results of their own practice,
still feel disposed to deny that it is possible to
cure consumption. To a physician who has
grown gray in practice, and yet, among the
v hundreds who have sought his advice, cannot
recall to recollection even one consumptive
invalid saved through his ministrations, this
skepticism is, perhaps, natural. But let us see
what those who have carefully investigated the
matter say on the subject.
The late Dr. Bwett remarks :
"Another important question presents Itself,
Is consumption a curable disease ? and if so,
what ia the proportion of cases which recover?
The general impression in the medical profession
is that a patient with consumption is doomed to
death. 1 have known a number of
patients, during the last fifteen years, who have
had the evidences of consumption, and some'
times in an advanced stage, who finally recoV'
ered, aud are now in the euoyment of good
health." (Page 279.) 1
Bir James Clark says:
"That pulmonary consumption admits of a
cure is no longer a matter of doubt. It has been
clearly demonstrated by the researches of Laon
nee, aud other modern pathologist." (P;jq137.
Frofessor Cars well observes:
"Pathological .anatomy has, perhaps, never
afforded more conclusive evidence in proof of
the curability of a disease than it has in that of
tubercular consumption. (Cyc. Prac. Med.) And
Latnnec declares that the cure of consumption,
where the lungs are not completely disorganized,
ought not to be looked upon as at all Impossible,
in reference either to the nature of the disease or
of the ogan affected. The destruction
of a part of the substance of the lungs is by no
means necesoarily mortal." (Page 238.)
Then let us hear no more ot the incurability of
this disease, but let all good men unite to en
courage and stimulate to increased exertion
those who are zealously laboring in the great
cause of science and humanity.

Interesting 8uboicai. 0 mirations. Dr. Car
nochan performed two more interesting opera
tions in surgery at the State Hospital on Satur
day, with the nitrous oxide iras as the anresthetic
aseut. The first was the amputation of the thigh.
The patient a male adult was put into the
ana'stheUc sleep in one minute ana sixteen
seconds. Dr. Carnochan performed the amputa
tion in thirty seconds, and in thirty-two seconds
more the patient awoke to consciousness without
nausea or the least unpleasant symptoms. He
stated that he had felt no pain during the opora
tion. The second operation on a male adult-
was the amputation ot the leer. The time in
producing sleep was fifty-five seconds. The time
of the operation was one minute and forty-five
seconds. The time in recovering consciousness
was twenty seconds. There was no nausea or
sickness. A largo number of surgeons and
students were present, who expressed surprise
and delight at the bright appearance of the
patients after recovering lrom the effects of the
gas. it seemed to oe tue universal opinion that
tne gas wouiu supersede an otuer aniestnetics

these operations, and performed his part well.
Ilis establishment, no. 737 walnut street, is now

South America.
PARAGUAY.
The Paraguayan army, which it was at one
ime supposed would cease their retrograde
movement, and make a good stand or even ad
vance again on the city of Corrie rites, has defi
nitely evacuated the province of that nation and
retired into their own territory. This gives the
allies the advantage of a better base of opera
tions, especially in connection with the Bra-
zilinn fleet; Dut tne reliance upon tne euicacy ot
the latter is not very great, and further, the dif
ficulties ot attacking tne 1'araguayans nave
been enormously increased.
They are now concentrated, offering a verv
respectable front to their enemies, and are well
defended by the natural configuration of their
country as well as by numerous works in advan
tageous positions. Besides all this, the heat and
the unhealtnine3 ot the swamps benm to tell
upon the allied armies, and it is, therefore, not
to be wondered at that some newspapers o the
other side oi tne Anaes iait oi aeierring tne re
newal of hostilities, and even of a friendly settle
ment. .
CHILI.
The blockading vessels on the Chilian coast
remained at their respective stations December
9. The Humancia, iron-clad, had arrived at
Calderas on her way down to Valparaiso; wnile
the Villa de Madrid was. at last accounts, an
chored in the harbor of Coqulmbo, after a cruise
between Valparaiso and the latter port.evidently
on the look out tor the Esmeralda.
The latter vessel, together with tho captured
Covadortaa. have aeain entirely disappeared.
While some suppose that they have left for Mon
tevideo, others are of opinion that they have
sailed northward, in order to loin the Peruvian
squadron which was to assemble in one ot the
southerly ports of Peru. The Apurimao and
Amazonas were in Iquique, and the Union and
America had left the Ctunchas tor the same port.
What makes this supposition more probable is,
that the Limena, on her down trip, saw two
vessels, apparently men-of-war, steaming north
ward, aDreast ot Arica,
On the 2d instant an unsuccessful attempt was
made by the authorities in Coqulmbo to take
possession of the Salvador idal, a barque
which served as a sort of storeship to the block
ading frigate Manca.
Several Chilinos and foreigners in Montevideo
have purchased and fitted cut three or lour pri
vateers, to sail uuder the Chilian flag, aud prey
on the commerce ot Spain on that coast. N. 1".

Cemetbev at Ball's Bluff. The remains of
our t-oldiers who fell in the unfortunate battle of
Ball's Bluff, October 21, 161, were hastily buried,
after the engagement, in shallow trenches or

washed away from over the graves, leaving the
honored remains, in many instance, exposed to
view. Lieutenum-Colonel James M. Moore.

MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.
South Jkbsict and Philadelphia.
The railroads constructed in South Jersey within
a fewyears have contributed invaluable advan
tages to the mercantile and other,; interests of
Philadelphia. Formerly, most of the supplies
needed by the Inhabitants of the bay
aud sea shore were obtained from New
York, from the fact that "all along
shore" reside coasting owner and captains who
traded to that city, carrying wood, truck, oys
ters, and fish; and the selection of goods was
left to the taste ot the masters of sloops and
sct.oonera. Now, the Camden and Atlantio, and
West Jersey Railroad, wtth its two Important
branches, reach the most of these localities,
auordiiig storekeepers facilities for making their
own selections, with but little loss of time,
and giving the ladles ample opportunity for
shopping.
These conveniences, also, have increased the
trade of Philadelphia in proportion as they have
added to the population, and brought into pro
fitable cultivation thousands of acres of bush
land. Villages have sprung np, as if by matic,
along all these roads, and the two great watei
ing places have become peopled with permanent
residents. Manufacturing establishments have
been erected in various places, mechanical and
agricultural pursuits are expanding, and as the
wilderness is made to bloom, business progressed.
To these railroads, therefore, Philadelphia is in
debted lor an increase of trade which will com
pare favorably with that afforded by any two
roads in Pennsylvania.
Look, too, at the wealth and luxury accruing
from these facilities. The rich products of South
Jersey are brought direct to the Philadelphia
markets. But lor the increased supply thus
afforded, her growing population would 'be se
verely taxed for the want of a full supply.
Gram, fruit, vegetables, fish, oysters, game,
etc., are now brought to market in quadruple
quantities since railroads have been established,
while the Btipply of all kinds of meats, poultry,
eggs, butter, etc., is multiplied. It is as fortu
nate lor Philadelphia as South Jersey that our
internal improvements have developed the re
sources of this portion of the' State so rapidly;
for it has served to maintain an equilibrium in
the price of products, which the unprecedented
increase of population in that great city must
otherwise have sadly deranged. Nor is it a lesser
blessing that this additional supply has done
much to place the necessaries of life within the
reach of the thousands who "sweat for bread"
in that city.
But not the least of the advantages afforded
Philadelphia by the railroads of South Jersey
are the facilities for the transhipment of goods,
When navigation meets with obstructions such
as we have experienced within the past week.
How often it occurs that vessels are detained
below, with valuable freight for consignees, who
frequently sutler great loss by delay I The market
price may be lost, contracts with jobbers may be
broken, or the demand for them, from various
causes, may cease to exist lrom delay. Now, it
will be an easy matter to place all essential to
immediate use on the railroad, and bring them
up to the city. These facilities, however, will
be still further Increased by running a track to
the Capo Island wharf, from whence goods can
be taken from Ice-bound vessels, and sent direct
to Philadelphia.
We might add that these conveniences em
brace another advantage, equally important to
the merchants of that city. It enables them to
compete more successfully with New York. The
pretensions of the latter to commercial supe
riority over the former will soon be made to
sink 'into an empty boast by the important
facilities afforded Philadelphia, derived from
the growing improvements of South Jersey.

Travelling on Shape. James Deacon
is the name of an individual who has no local
habitation, and lives and travels upon his
"shape." He indulges in all kinds of mean
swindling from a "pull" of three cents upward.
He visited the Twenty-fourth Ward a few days
since, and went into several groceries, always
taking care that the proprietor was absent, and
the place in charge of a woman. He would
represent to the attendant that on the previous
day he had purchased some article, gave 60 cents
in payment, but that they bad forgotten to re
turn him his change. In several cases he repre
sented that ten and twenty cents were due him,
and succeeded in obtaining this amount. He
was caught by a policeman and was committed
lor trial by Alderman Allen.
Mubderoub Assault. John Kerr, a
drayman, was before Alderman Beitler yester
day, charged with committing a murderous
assault upon one of the conductors on the
Market Street Passenger Railway. John had his
dray on the track and refused to turn off upon
the"approach of the car. The conductor remon
strated with him, whereupon he seized a piece
ot iron and struck the conductor over the head,
inflicting a serious wound. The defendant was
committed for trial. The practice indulged in by
draymen and others m obstructing passenger

with seven fine little children, without food or
fuel. Food for the day has been supplied. Seve

MINING COHFANT invite investments in n
doubtful enterprise. They hare secured two mine
ot ascertained richness, In Bin Creek Mining Dis
trict, Lander county, Nevada, situated but one and
a half miles from Canton Clty.'aud about ten mllea
from Austin.
Their ledges are of great width, rich in surface In
dications, and at a depth of only sixty feet, the con
tinuation of their property, yielded ore that paid
S215 per ton, worked by the rudest method.
For one-half interost in a looation adjoining ths
"CUSTOM-HOUSE" LEDGE, upon the same vela
of ore, an odor of $150,000 in ooln was refused.
lhia'CCSTOM.HOUbE'' LEDGE, ot which 2000
feet belong! to this Company, is exceedingly rioh.
and so located that a tunnol 200 feot in length will
strike the ledge at a depth of 200 feet below its out
crop. Longer tunnels will strike the ledge at pro
portionately greater depths.
Work upon this tunnel is being prosecuted with
the utmost vigor. It can bo continuod all wjnter,
and rich "pay-rock" will bo ready at an early day
for reduction at the mills, already located at a short
distance, and favorable arrangements are already
made for crushing the ores of the Company untU
such time as their own work are erected.
The "PRICE CURRENT" Ledge of 2000 feet in
length is located on tho opposite side ot the sanio
Canon as the ledse already described. It is about
eight feet in width, with well-donned casings, crop
out nearly its whole length, and crowing tho summit
of tho ridge which divides Perkins' Cuon from
Brooks' Canon, it presents favorabio conditions for
development from either valley.
A suitable description of these properties cannot
be given in a tow words; full information may be
obtained at the oflice of the Company.
The advantages of a cho ce among many good lo
cation havo been secured by the. personal inspec
tion of a representative of the Company, of practical
mining experience. From UU dotailed reports, the
Company are assured oi the great value and riohneor
of their property, and arrangomonts are made for
prosecuting tho business with vigor, economy, and
despatch,
1 wenty-five thousand shares of the stock of the
Company will be sold on acoount ot Working Capi
