Piof. DaUoata on the Grip.
An exhaustive nrticlo on the grip
appears in tho issuo of the Pliilddoipli
In Medical News, of January 18. It
jn from tho pen of Profcusor J, M. Da
Costa, of Jcfforson Medical Collcde,
who is rccoRnir-od by tlm entire mcdi
onl profession as tho most eminent writor
on diagnosis in tho county. The Pro
fessor treats the subject nut historical
ly, but clinically, introducing his sub
ject with a few oases which illuetrato
different types of tht malady. lie
says:
"This widespread malady, whioh has
committed Buch liavoo an tho continont
of Earopo, aud whioh has proven itself
here, in tho last month, so destructive
to comfort and so perilous in ita stu
ondary const quence, is of uncertain
origan. It comes; it goes. It comts
without warning: it disappear', leaving
behind it sporadic oatcs, but speedily
loecs all trace of its eptdetnio form."
The Professor then gives tbe result of
his observations as follows; "In the
majority of instances the fever is mod
erate and lasts about three or four days
The fover is at its hiuhest in from
twenty- four to thirty six hours; then
it elowlyfmbsideri, and tho tomporaturo
may go below norms!, in ono caso it
pasted to 00 and thero was profuso
sweating, something liko a crisis tak
ing place. During the period of high
est temperature, lasting thirty six or
possibly iorty-elclit hours, there is only
the ordinary variation of about one
degree between the morning and eve
ning temperatures. There is really a
slight continued fever, and not a fever
with remissions and exacerbations as
in malarial fever. As a rulo the tem
perature does not exoeed 103; but, by
way of variety, I have in this enidemio
encountered a few cases in which the
tempture at the onset unexpectedly
shot up to 105 and the next day went
4own to about 1UU" aud then the oise
ran tho ordinary course, terminating
recovery. In two of these casos
bloody sputum or pure blood was at
lirst expectorated.
NERVOUS SYMPTOMS.
"One of tbe most singular features
of tho recent epidemic is the preval
ence of the neryous symptoms. As I
have stated, I havo passed thro gh
other ep demies of catarrhal fever, but
this one seeim to be stamped by the
prominence of tho nervous symptoms.
luese are shown by the violent bead-
aches, tho severe pain all over tbe
body, the pain in the spino traveling
downwards and also by what I have
soon in quite a number of cases, hy
perssjthesia or general sensitiveness of
the surface. This is something more
than what might be attributed to the
efforts of coughing. Then, too, in
some of tho cases, there is delirium ;
not simply the delirium of inanition,
as occurred in oao of the cases before
you, but a delirium with violent head
ache, this delirium sometimes taking
strange forms. In one case, that ot a
most refined lady, who when well
would hardly recognize an oath, when
she. became delirious from an attack of
influenza, sworo at tho doctor every
time he entered tho room. I have
been told of instances in which pati
ents havo lost their minds from the
violence of tbe headache and the do
main. Besides tho delirium, there
are in some cases convulsions.
A FATAL CASE.
"About a week ago I was called to
gee a young man who, wbilo in per
feet health, was seized with violent
headache, severe pain in the back,
pain in the limbs, slight catarrhal
symptoms, considerable congestion of
tho lungs, but no pneumonia. Almost
from the onset he had spasms in tho
arms, The spasms were most market)
in the left arm, although the right was
also affected. Ho was very reatles1),
and sightly dehrioue, but not marked
ly so. His temperature, almost from
the beginning, was 97". I found him
with pupils somewhat dilated and head
slightly rigid, and the presenco ot
cerebro-spinal fever at onco suggested
itself; but further investigation show
ed that this was not the case. There
was no eruption; the spasms were lirai
ted to tho arms, there was congestion
of'tho lunge; and, above all, there was
no fever, tho temperature remaining
about 07. The only thing that gave
any relief from tbe spasms was chloral.
Notwithstanding tho laot that atro
pine and opium were used hypodermi
cally this patient gradually sank under
tho violence of tho disease. I know ot
one oas in which paralysis of tho
lower extremities has followed influen
za.
"WHAT IS CALLED PNEUMONIA. '
"Tho prostrated influence of tho
malady on the nervous system is also
snown uy tne laot mat patient mug
ger on getting out 01 bed. this le
bility remains for a long time and ii
often associated with considerable
sweating. Tho pains often remain
nnd do not necessarily pa-s away on
tho subsidence of tho rather shoit
fever. In some oases profuse aud per
(detent sweating is also very common
during convalescence, and the patient
looks antomlo and ra-rai)lo.
"The main complication of ordi
nary catarrhal fover is, at you know,
pneumonia, or what is called pueu
monia. I-ooking over the records of
boards of hoallh of different cities, it
will be found that tho deaths from
pneumonia have nearly doubled. What
is called pnoumonia roust, therefore,
bo Bet down as ono of tbe ohiof com
plications, xou notice that I say
"what is called pneumonia." A groat
many of these cases are simply heavily
congested lung?, with great debility
tho lungs seeming to collapse, There
does not seem to bo a true prooess of
pneumonia exudation. A great many
persons when seizod, and often during
tho height of lite attack-, complain of
violent pain in tho left side, but I have
nbt lound any friction sounds, sava 1
ono instanco, and this tiny hayo been
acoidenlal, Thero is want of expau
sion in tho lower part of the lung, us
aally ou the left side, aesooiatod with
this violent and persistent pain, which
makfB the patient think he has pnou
monia or some other 'grave condition
of the lung.
noon us is fou the surplus.
"Wo know nothing of tho oauso
thi disease. It is opidomio, and
think myself that it is feebly conta
gious. It would bo an admirabl
tbiug if somo of our over-fllled treas
ury could flow into the ohanuels of
science, and that a commission be ap
pointed to luvcetigato this diseaso bao-
leriologically and ohomioally. Wo
accept tho microblo naturo of its ori
gin, but it has not been proven,
"The prognosis is favorable, but tho
gonirnl mortality is increased by tho
epidemio. This 1b becauso persons pre
viously diseased aro carried off. jPor
instance, in thtso two cases with foeblo
heart, if any unusual oxertions were
mado the patients would probably die.
If an elderly person with fatty iieart
contracts this disease, for it is no ro
epeotor of age, ho would bo in immi
nent danger. Wo oall this heart fall
urc, but these hearts aro diseased aud
enfeebled still moro by tho malady.
"I hayo mentioned relapse. I havo
seen few distinct examples of this.
One was that of a lady who bad her
first attack in tho country and oamo to
town to break it up. She was well for
two weeks when sho was attacked tho
second time. Another caso was that
of a gentleman who was suddenly
Beizcd with a relapso whi'.o in church,
two weeks after the first attack. In a
third caso pneumonia occurred in tho
relapso. Tho loncest interval I havo
known was two weeks; tho shortest
fivo days. To provent relapse, croat
care is necessary in not going back to
work too soon, and not exposing one's
self to wet and cold, and with this
thero should bo judicious nso of tonics,
aud even stimulants.
TREATMENT.
"Now a few words in conclusion
with refrenoo to the treatment The
treatment must, of course, bo tho ordi
nary treatment of catarral auecttonp.
For the relaxed and irrilalcd throat I
have found nothing so servicable as a
gargle of salicylate of eodium, glycerin
and water. For the nasal catarrh.
hioh at times is very unpleasant, I
avo found that a two per cent, solu
tion of cocaine dooa the most cood.
The bronchial catarrh should be
treated as any other bronchial oatarrh,
cording to the exact seal and num
ber of rales. A cood deal of tho
aroxysmal cough is laryngeal, and
yon will find that small doses of opium
at night, or bromido and opium, or
what I havo employed in a nutnbjr of
cases, broken doses of Dover's powder,
wilt gtvo good results. Une lourtli ot
grain of codeine, repeated according
to the ciroumstances of the case, is
oiten useful ; it allays tho cough, in
duces sleep, and does not cause muob
sweating. Let me say here, that
hue perhaps tbe routine practio 1 of
using diaphoretics in these cases is
useful, yet such drugs must be used
with judgment. In some cases there
a great tendenoy to sweating, and
you do not want to inoreaso it, as it
rather adds to tho debility. The dia
phoretic must be adapted to the indi
vidual case, not employed too aotivoly,
and not at all where sweating is a
prominent Byraptotn.
'The debility must bo borne in
mind, and it is good practice to give
sulphate 01 cincbonidino or quinine,
ten or twelve grains dally Nourish
ment should bo kept up, and tho action
of the bowels looked after. Tho pa
tient should not be overpurged, for, in
some instances, diarrhoea is asso
ciated with the malady.
'ii or the headache and the pain in
tho bones I have found two remedies
of especial advantage Ono is antl
pyrin in five grain doses, with a grain
or two of quinine to prevent depres
sion, repeated every two or three hours
mil tbe headacho is relieved ; tho
other is phenaoetin in fivo grain doses.
In one instance where these two drug's
tailed to relievo tho headacho 1 found
gelsemium to answer.
"X bo ceneral strength and the circu
lation must be looked after, and espco-
ally during convalesoenco the patient
must receivo nutritious food, alcohol,
small doses of strychnine, and, later,
iron.
"I shall not speak of tho treatment
of the complication pneumonia, but let
me point out, in concluding these ro-
marks, that you should keep your pa
tients for a long lime on tonics whioh
may prevent relapse, and, indeed, it
may be a question whether it would
not bo advisable when tbe diseaso
makes ita appearance in a household to
place the whole family on tho use of
tonics, suoh as cincbonidino or quinine,
a preventive. My experience is
that, while '.his will not ward off tho
disease, it renders the attack I03S
severe.
The Diamond's Origin-
A SUBJECT WHICH HAS NEyEU UEEN SET
TLED 1IY SCIENTISTS.
Tho origin of tho diamond has beon
a fruitful topic for speculation among
scientists; honoo many contradictory
theories have boen advanoed and ar
gued with somo show of reason; but,
all that has been said and writteu upon
tho subject, wo are still loft pretty
much in tho dark. Somo ot the theor
ies aro very ingenious and interesting,
though tho amount ot truiu tnoy cm
body remains to bo proved. It bag
been suggested that the vapors of car
bon during tho coal period may have
been condensed and crystauzed into
the diamondi and again, tho itasolu
mite, generally regarded as tho matrix,
was saturated with petroleum, whioh
collecting in nodules, formed tho gem
, J 1 .-,!-. I J
uy graauai orystuinetiiuu,
Newton behoved it to have been a
coagulated unotuous substonco of veg
etablo origin, and was sustained in tho
thoory by many eminent phtlosnphers,
including Sir D. Brewster, who bo-
heved tho diamond was orce a mass of
gum, derived from a oertain species of
wood, and that it subsequently asuni
ed a crystalline form. Dana and
others advanoe the opinion that it may
havo been produced by tho slow du
composition of vegetable raatorial, nnd
even irom animal matter. Jiurlou
says it is younger than gold, an Bug.
gests the possibility that it may still

onr country bo required to work more
than eight hours per dayT

tho effect of the general reduction of
tho hours of labor to eight per day
upon manhood, independence and
citizenship of our people, tho body
polilio of our country,
Samuol Gompersj President of the
American Federation of Labor, a
mcnth ngo nddresscd a circular con
taining these, questions to President
Harrison, members of Congress, mer
chant?, professors, clergymen nnd
other prominent men. During tho
past week replies havo boon received,
among tbom being one from President
Harrison's private secretary, Mr. Hal-
ford, in which ho tells Mr. ttompers
that ho will find in the President's
public specohes full and nccurato ex-
prcssion of his views on tho questions, burdened with business, hearts harrow
But in tho President's proscnt relation ed with the oares and responsibilities
to tho publio servico the impropriety
of his making nny further statement
is evident, inasmuch as it is possible
that somo of tho subjects connected
with the labor question may como be
fore him for his official notion.
Senator Edmonds thinks that tho
matter depends largely upon circum
stances varying with different condi-
tiona of locality, climate, naturo of
occupation, &a, and that no general
rule can be laid down upon tho sub-
ject.
Senator Hoar says that eight hours
is enough for ordinary labor, and that
it would bo a publio benefit if that
should bo tho limit of a day's work in
ordinary manufacturing and mechani
cal work. He thinks that tho product
of the country would be increased,
tho character of tho workmen
would be improved, and tho govern
ment of tho country would be purified
and exalted.
Senator Blair says that eight hoars
labor U too long in somo occupations.
1 1 j thinks the eight hour system will
pro mo to the publio good.
Senator Mitohell, of Oregon, thinks
there is nothing to bo gained and
much to be lost to both employer and
employeo by exacting over eight hours
work.
Senator Ingalis believes that a re
duction of work to eight hours would
have a beneficial effect upon the man
hood, independence and citizenship of
the working classes if enough could be
earned in that time.
Congressmen O, It. Breckenridge, of
Arkansas, thinks that working people
will never be able to get more than the
actual market yaluo of their labor bas
ed on demand and supply and the state
of trade. He does not believo that
workmen should bo required to work
more or less hours than eight, as that
is a matter for their own agreement.
Congressman K. S. Osborn, of
Wilkesbarre, Pa., says that the work
men of this country should not be re
quired to work over eight hours. To
reduce tho workiog hours would con
sequently improve labor.
Congressman JUotuntey, ot unto,
believes in tho eight hour system.
Ira JJavouport says he thinks it
worth while trying tho eight honr
system, which ho thinks would be
benebcial to all.
President C. K. Adams, of Cornell,
thinks that workmen should bo free to
work inst as much or as little as their
interests dictate. A reduction or
hours to eight, be thinks would bo a
disadvantage to the workinamon. It
would either reduce the prico of his
day's work or reduce tho amount of
work to bo dono and in either caso it
would reduco his income Of course,
such a change would bring leisure,
and if the workman needs leisure
moro than monoy tho change would
be beneficial.
Prof. E. W. Bomis, of Vanderbilt
University, hopes to Bee eight hours
secured in time. But he is not sure
whether employers can be induced to
give their employees a much larger
share of their joint production than
they do now. Uradual reductions in
tho working-day, he thinks, will bo
accompanied by an increaso of mental
and moral power among workiugmen,
such as to justify peaceful efforts for a
shorter cay.
Prof Schmidt, of Hamilton Theo
logical Seminary, says ho is in sympa
thy with tho eight-hour movement,
and ho believes that economically the
ultimate ettocts of feiich a reduction of
working hours must be for the good of
all. As tor tbe immediate ettects,
three large classes would suffor from
tho change manufacturers with limit-
oiotpital, workmen with prohigato
tendencies and the lesB desirous work
men and women, who might be driven
out of tho held
Seth Low, President of Columbia
Collego, is in sympathy with the move
ment, but lor reasons sociological
ralhor than directly economical, lie
sees the desiro of humanity for some
thing more than mere subsistence, tho
hunger tor a lite that shall havo some
leisuro in it for family and for tho
opportunities that leisu-o briugs.
Felix Adlor doos not believe that In

creased leisuro of workmen will in tho
long run bo mlsspont. But it must bo
shown that thero is a definite prospoot
ot united action on tho part ot tho
working classes, and that sucli a mear
uro will not seriously cripple industrial
progress bv checking production in cer
tain lines of industry or by giving
other countries au advantage in tho
markets ot tho world as against our
own.
F. B. Thnrbor says ten hours is not
much. He formerly worked lourteon
to sixteen hours at his store, and ho
now works ten hours.

How to Live Irong.
It is likely that a tendenoy to longevity
is frequently inhoritcd that it runs in
families' We know that a lao' of vi
tality, weakness of conslitutioo, nnd
the tendency to certain disoasos aro
trans mtssiblo Promising that naturo
never iudicatcr, any physiological par
feronoo for individuals, wo can acoouut
for this prinoiplo of preservation by
tho fact that In all largo families the
weakest and diseased die out, loaving
only tho healthy and most hearty to
propagate. With suoh Bound stock
long fife through successive genera
tious is the result. If the truth bo
told, death is usually bat a species of
suicide. Peoplo soem set upon the
very mode of life that will kill them
quickest, loo much eating and too
littlo sleeping, stimulants, excitement
and reckless dissipation, brains over-
of life suoh aro somo of tho things
that are taking people off. Worry
and nervous excitement kill folks fast
cr than hard work. Stoady, honest,
hard-handed labor nover hurt anybody.
Tho placid, patient, plodding person,
other conditions being tbe same, lives
tho longest. Much depends upon tho
conveisation of the physical force in
youth. Tho ancient physiologist
pointed out tho fact that in early life
there is a great deal of this force in re
serve, as a sort of stock to meet Iho
demands of advancing years. With
tho increasing cares and strain of
sterner duties in later life, this stock is
correspondingly diminished. It be
comes prematurely exhausted nnd ex
istence ends in bankruptcy. So that
tho proper way to prolong life is to
make the body a sort of savings bank
for this original stock of strength in
youth and early manhood. Nothing
bo Boon destroys tbo vigor of life as
excessivo emotions. Worry will wa-to
the most robust body, caro will cor
rode and oven an exoess of joy prove
deadly. The wibq will avoid every
thing tbat.ovo I a'8 the feeling". The
man who oan continually maintain his
equanimity has tho best chance, all
things considered, of living a long aud
happy life. So, from a merely phy
siological point of viow, wo Bhould
exercise composure under all circum
stances; love nothing, too passionately,
hato nothing too violently, fear no' h
ing too strongly, lament nothing too
sorrowfully, and tranquilly and trust
fully accept tho order ot things as we
find them. To a person who has pre
served himself the period between 45
and 00 will bo the prime of life. Ex
perience has ripened his ludgment,
and matured sfength of constitution
will enable him to withstand an attack
of diseaso. He has triumphed over
the storms and struggles that threaten
ed his early manhood, mastered his
business, secured a competence aud
rest from wearing work, and sa'ely
crossed tho viaduct called the "turn
of life," whioh is usually an entrance
upon a prolonged pilgrimage or a
short turn to the tomb. He is now at
his best, and all his faculties, having
attained their fullest expansion, either
begin to gradually oloso like dahlias nt
tbo setting of tho sun, or drop as
though touched by a destructive frost.
it he bo spared, he oan gird up his
loins, got a stouter staff, and trudge on
over the bridge that leads to old ago.
There is no natural death but old age,
whiob, if death may ever be oalled
pleasant, is tho only pleasant one.
There is a wish for rest, and the tired

WONDERFUL STORT JRKI.ATBD BT A
TnUTltlfUL KANSAS KDITOB.
Largo deposits of ice, imbedded in
earth nnd covered with moss, havo
been discovered in Idaho. Tho loe
will bo mined nnd shipped to Western
cities, It is not known whether the
deposits aro relics of tho glaoial ago or
tho congealed bream ot a trontter liar.
Tho nbovn item has been going tbo
rounds of tho newspapers for somo
time, and lndcod it roads very liko
"tho oongoaled breath of the frontier
liar;" bnt, remarks the editor ot 1110
Atchison (Kan.) Patriot, wo beg to
say that forty years since wo wore
traveling in Idaho during tho month
of August, Tho weather was hot,
and thero had been no rain for somo
time, eo that tho crass was very dry.
One afternoon wo passed around a
spur of mountain, bringing to our viow
a basin-shaped piano of apparently
Bomo thousands of acres In extont.
This was covered with grconor grass
than wo had met with for moro than a
month. Oar mules eocmed pleosod
with tho prospect of a square moal, so
to spoak, and leaving the "trail" wo
moved toward tho center of tbo moa-
dow whore tho grass was tallest.
When thirty or forty miles from tho
'trail' tho ground began to givo under
tho mules' feet, and so soft was it wo
began to think thero was no bottom.
Turning about wo fonnd a moro solid
place, and dismounting wo maao an
examination. A riod of earth nnd
grass roots, varying in thickness from
six to twenty inches, was spread on a
sheet of ice about eight inches thick at
tho point we oxaminod. Tho ice was
on what scorned to bo a great lake, tho
depth or oxtent of whioh wo had no
opportunity of investigating, wo
mined some of tho ice, however, and
filled our water tank with it. This we
assure onr readers, is a truo story, al
though wo admit it reads moro liko
"tho oongoaled broath of a frontier
liar" than tho writings of a truthful
editor.
HOW TO DUST A 00M-
A WOMAN WHO THINKS THERE SHOULD
HE A METHOD IN THIS AS IN OTHER
WORK.
A feather duster is an abomination,
writes Christina Terhnno Herrlok in a
recent number of Tbe Housewife In
tho hands of a careless housemaid it is
flirted among tbe furniture, up about
tho picture frames, down amid tho
chair rnngs, into nooks and corners,
scattering tho dust everywhere, brush
ing tho impalpable power from ono spot
and driving it into another, until, when
the maid retires from her labors, all
the dust in the room has changed its
place, while but littlo of it has been
permanently removed.
Thero should be n method in dusting
and it should be closely followed. First
of all; tho oarpct should bo brushed.
thorough sweeping may not bo
necessary, but in most living rooms
there is daily need of a carpet sweeper
or dust pan and brash, often of all
three. The carpet sweeper is admir
able for taking up (he dirt in tbo mid
dle of the room, but it is practically
useless in corners. Every housekeeper
should have ono of tho dust pans that
can be held in place by the foot. The
gain in comfort is immeasurable to tho
woman who has been aonatomed to
bend herself doublo when she wished
to brush up tbo fluff that sho bad
gathered together with her broom.
The high places of the room should
next receive attention, the cormoes,
curtain poles, etc. A Turks bead
brush is invaluable here and is easily
improvised by tying a cloth or towel
around a feather duster and attaching
this to the- end of a polo long enough to
enable ono to toucli tho ceiling with
the brush.
For the othor parts of tho room a
cloth must be used. Old silk handker
chiefs make oxcellent dusters,but even
they aro not superior to those of cheese
cloth . Theso Bhould not bo too largo.
A duster a yard long by half r yard
wido is big enough for all ordinary
purposes. Choose cloth is so cheap
that thero is no reason why every fam
ily should not bo provided with a
generous supply ot dusters.
They must bo bo vmcd, of course,
and may be prettily finished by a
feather stitching of bright marking
cotton. Such dusters will go in to all
the nooks and corners, gathering up
tho dust and retaining it. They should
be shaken after using and washed fre
quently. It is a tedious business to
dust the modern parlor. Filled with
brio-a-brao, adorned with hangings ovor
doors, windows and mantles, ornamen
ted with bits of drapery flung ovor
easels and picturo frames, it presents a
disoourging ospeot to the busy house-
wito.
One must pay for having piotty and
artietio surroundings, but, as long as tho
dust gathering agencies aro kept out
of sleeping rooms, little barm 1b done.
Everything ehold bo tnovod in dusting.
There should be no dnsty rims left
around ornaments to show how tho
cloth skimmed around them without
touching them. Such carelessness
must be watched for in tho housemaid,
whoso study often is to slight skillfully
instead of to perform her task thorou
ghly. for dusting tufted fnrnituro, nothing
is belter than un ordinary bouse paint
ing brush, Tho bristles go into every
crevice and fold of tho covering and
fray tbo material less than do tho
straws of a whiek broom.
