And now the editor of the Lewistown Sen.
tinel git-es a dissertation on the similarity
between small-pox and "confluent (?) chicken

man, on Saturday last, to send her truuk to
her by telegraph.
A postal card from Cal. J. K. Rhodes, Secre

Association, informs us that no dividend was
declared for the past year, the Board of Di

Since Senator Fisher has introduced the
bill for the erection of a penitentiary for the
middle district of the State, nearly every town
in the proposed territory, containing a store

"Your 'ehickeu-pox' theory is played out."
—Journal. "We do not profess to know more
than the physicians. Ask them."—Local News.
No use to do that.; we can find the truth of
our assertion in the "Report of the Board of
Health" as published in your issue of Monday.
It is all small pux, conflueut small-pox and
varioloid.
Ed. James, esq.,editor of the Cambria Ileralth
is an applicant for the postmastership at
Ebensburg, and in view of the hard work that
he has performed for the success of the Re
publican cause in that hot bed of Democracy,
he is justly entitled to the position, but we
presume that some party drone, as is generally
the case, will come to the fore and carry off
the prize.
Out of ten or a dozen physicians, outside of
Huntingdon, who have expressed an opinion,
based upon treatment or examination, upon.
the prevailing contagion here, every one has
pronounced it small-pox, and yet there are
two, orperhaps three,physicians in Huntingdon,
who never previously treated a single variety
of the fifteen or eighteen varieties of this pest,
that say, it ain't small-pox
What are a Lw dollars, compared to the
welfare of the community ?—Local News. You
should have taken this view of the case when
you were trying to make your readers believe
that "the disease" was only chickc-n pox. We
held the health of oar people far above the
value of dollars and cents, and sounded the
alarm even if we did not "profess to know
more than the physicians."
A number of parties in this neighborhood
have received circulars from a New York firm
representing that they lyul drawn a lot of
Mood jewelry, consisting of one hundred and
five different patterns, valued at $2BO, and
that the percentage due is $l4. The New
York World pronounces the firm a fraud, and,
to avoid being swindled, those receiving
circulars from them should pay no attention
to the kind (? ) offer.
Oa Saturday afternoon last a half-dozen of
our wing-shots met on the fair grounds and
indulged in the pleasant and exciting sport of
firing at glass balls sprung from a Bogardus
trap, and the foll Owing is the score: W. E.

C. Fisher 14, F. W. Stewart 7, T. W. Nlyton G.
Each man fired at fifteen balls, and it will be
seen that our friend Fisher came very near
making a clean record.
Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir
culation of the JOURNAL exceeds that of any
other paper in the county by several hundred,
and that its patrons are generally of the better
class, comprising merchants, business men,
mechanics, farmers, and those whose patronage
is desirable to every person engaged in any
and every branch of trade. If you want to get
the worth of your money avail yourselves of
the superior facilities offered by the use of its
columns. tf.
A party of tramps to the number of seven
or eight, on Monday morning of last week,
attacked the ticket office at the Lewistown
Junction, assaulting the agent, breaking a
finger for the constable, beside injuring one
or more citizens who were striving to quell
the disturbance. The scoundrels were finally
arrested and committed to prison. The head
devil of the party was a man with both legs
cut off. A whipping-post wou'd have been
the proper thing for such outlaws.
Several requests have been sent to this
office to discontinue the JOURNAL until the
small-pox is driven from the town. This is
altogether an unnecessary precaution. It
would be criminal negligence on our part to
permit our papers to be infected with the
disease. We have no one about the establish
ment who has been in any way inoculated
with it, nor will we permit any one to be,
whileall the disinfectants in vogue are brought
into requisition. Have no fears on that score.
Col. John R. Hunter, who has been suffering
for months past, from paralysis, died at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. M. B. Massey,
in this place, on Saturday night last, aged 68
years. Col. Hunter was well and favorably
known throughout the county, having been
engaged in active business pursuits, for a
number of years, and his many friends will be
pained to hear of his death. He was buried
on Monday morning, the beautiful and im
pressive Masonic funeral rites being performed
at his grave.
The small pox hospital, in the rear of the
cemetery, was completed on Thursday after
boon last, and the same night was occupied
by two patients, Billy Dunn and Martin Piper.
The buil iing is 20x40 feet, one story high. is
stripped outside with lath, and lined inside
with a very heavy paper, thus making it warm
and comfortable. It is divided into two rooms.
each capable of holding ten or twelve beds,
and in addition to these rooms there is a
kitchen, twelve feet square, attached to the
rear of the main building. Dr. J. H. Davidson
is in charge of it, and be is fully competent to
properly conduct it.
All of the churches in this place, with the
exception. of the Catholic, were closed on
Sunday last. At the Catholic church Chief
of-police Westbrook had stationed a subordi
nate to keep persons from entering it, but he
had not back bone sufficient to carry out his
Instructions, and allowed some twenty or more
to enter. After the arrival of the Chief, ad
mittance was forbidden all comers, and Rev.
Father Murphy proceeded with the services,
deeming it his duty to do so. On Monday
morning Mr. Westbrook, acting under orders
from the Board of Health, arrested Father
Murphy, and took him before Burgess Lovell,
and that officer, after hearing the facts in the
ease, imposed a flue of SIO and4osts, both of
which were promptly paid.
If others would have acted like the editor
of the Journal the small pox would not have
scattered so freely. The editor was considered
a "fanatic," but it would have been better if
the rest were "fanatics" like him."--/Ift. tnion
Times: You hardly mean that Bro. Mc. (?),
for friend Durborrow hied to the city a week
or more ago, and did't return until last Satur
day evening. If all our people had gone to
Mt. Union, we might have been called a harder
name than "fanatics," and have been treated
more shamefully than the Dawn boy. We
don't blame the editor of the Journal for
leaving town, and more would like to go, if
they could.—Local News. The editor of the
JOURNAL went to Philadelphia to attend to his
business interests located there, and not to
avoid the small-pox. If he had had any fear
of the disease he would not have exposed him
self to it in the manner in which he did. But
he wants it distinctly understood that he con
siders the man a fool who will throw himself
in its way without some good and sufficient
reason.

Ms. EniToti :—To-day my attention was
called to a very lengthy article in the Local
News, by one of your resident physicians, the
same being a compilation or series of quota
tions on small-pox and chicken-pox from a
cumber of eminent writers of the medical
profession, and somt standard authorities in
this country. The writer of the article evi
dently had been undergoing some professional
unpleasantness with a number of co-resident
practitioners, and, as I infer, gentlemen of
opposite schools of medicine. This I opine
from a few sniffs of the battle obtained from
afar, and I imagine from the bad humor which
seems to encompass him,
that he had been a
little unfortunate in his diagnosis relative to
some cases of variola or varicella—small-pox
or chicken-pox—and that he has been animad
verted upon by some of his rivals and their
friends, glad of the opportunity to give a good
and wholesome professional whack,and careful
to put it where it would "do the most good,"
upon the head of one of Elahneman's followers.
This is, alas, very greatly human nature, and
: sometimes think that we, of thL medical
profession, have less charity, and more onvy
and ugliness for each other than any other
class of professional men. Instead of aiding
and sympathizing with one of our own pro
fession, when he makes a mistake, when he is
at fault, has been unlucky in an operation,
unfortunate in his treatment of a case, or errs
in defining the nature of a disease, of giving a
correct diagnosis as appears to me was the
"casus Belli" in this small-pox chicken pox
war, we quietly laugh, and are hugely pleased,
and listen long and earnestly to everything
pertaining to the matter as long as we can get
any body to gossip about it, and don our most
nypocratic countenance whilstsleeply and sadly
deploring our rival's unfortunate mistakes.—
The doctor, however, must have lots of muscle,
for lie don't seem to "scare" worth anything,
and wishes to "hold the fort" if he can. Now,
Sir, my object in writing you is two-fold in
purpose. I wish to say something on the
subject which "the doctor" seems to have
settled entirely to his own satisfaction, and
also to place before the physicians ofyour city
a subject which will bear a thorough investi
gation; and may, perhaps, redound to the great
good of our race. As a preliminary, without
appearing egotistical or inviting a newspaper
war, (fur I mean to wage none), I will say that
during the late war of the rebellion, I was
several times connected with some of the most
extensive small-pox hospitals in the south
west. Since that time it has been my lot to
spend five or six years in the States of Califor
nia, Nevada, Arizona and Utah, practicing
among Americans, Spaniards, Mexicans, Chil
ones, Chinese—"they of the roaming race''—
and indeed almost every nationality. Ihr ve
seen diseases, eruptions, and treated them,
under almost every imaginable phase of life
and dire difficulties, so that I was enabled to
note the different varieties and the various
modifications and changes, or as we physicians
would say, the abnormal conditions, which
oftentimes accompany the same disease.
These modifications were many and strange,
and due to some surrounding local impressions,
either in the patient, of atmospheric origin or
some mysterious powers which wrought the
many strange and to me interesting variations.
Particularly was this the case who exanthem
atous or eruptive diseases, and it is of these I
mean to speak. For and during the last four
years I have vaccinated at my farm, near this
pace, many hundreds of young heifers—per
haps as many as seven hundred—l inoculated
them with the disease known as and termed
vaccina or cow-pox.
•
My work led me to a series of experiments
in the investigation of the subject of the
identity or non-identity of small-pox and cow
pox. Jenner, and his followers, claimed that
small-pox and cow-pox wese identical, that
they were one and the same disease, that one
procured immunity from the other, and that
one would produce the other. This was an
accepted fact in the days when the immortal
discoverer of vaccination was yet alive, and
has been so handed down and accepted very
generally by a large majority of the most
eminent medical men from his day to the
present. In my experimenting and investiga
tions I have been able to prove very satis
factorily to the minds of some of our scientific
men in this and. sister States, that the two
diseases are separate and distinct, each "sui
generic." one cannot produce the other, but
each produces its own kind. Small-pox is
small-pox, and cow-pox cow-pox, and nothing
else, just as they were one hundred years ago,
the great Jenner to the contrary, notwithstand
ing. This the committee—styled the Lyons
Commission—proved by a series of viocula
lions some years ago in France, and so reported
to the French academy of medicine. Mr.
Seaton, of England, M. Guerin, and many
other eminent men of England and France,
who bitterly and tenaciously adhered to the
old Jennerian theory of identity of the two
diseases, have now given in their adherence to
the theory of non-identity. I will explain now
why I have mentioned this matter, which I
would like to give more fully to your physicians
but dare not encroach upon your space too
much, as this article will, with what is yet to
come, be a very long, and perhaps tedious one,
because during my investigations I inoculated
heifers with vaccine, (cow-pox) with vuriola
(small-pox) with vuriola equine, horse-pox, or
supposed horse-pox, and was thus enabled to
see the many changes and abnormal variations
of the same disease. In my inoculations of
heifers I would one time have a fine take,
every inoculation good and typically Jennerian.
At another time I had a highly inflammatory
condition of things, the abraded inoculatiow a
take. and plenty of fine and typical spontaneous
ones arising in various portions of the heifer's
,kin. At another time, besides the natural
and expected results of:inoculation, I had like
wise a fine miliary eruption all round the
region of the udder, an efflorescence, sponta
neous vesicles, &e. Then again (all this time
the same disease) the vesicles failed to take,
but in other parts there were fine pocks pro
duced. Then again, no vesicles at all, only a
very fine eruption. Then again, all the vesicles
taking, but looking not at all like vaccine
vesicles, but take lymph from them, put it
into another heifer, and I would get typical
results. All these results being due to some
unfavorable condition of the heifer, or of the
food it ate, or of local and atmospheric im
pressions, or a combination of all these in
fluences impressing the aaimal. Now then,
again, to the moral. I have seen these same
changes, these surprising modifications attend
small-pox in the countries and under the cir
cumstances in which I was placed, both during
the war, and in the mountains of the wild
white pine region of Nevada. I have seen and
treated chicken-pox very often, and I here
unhesitatingly say that tue disease, whilst it
is sometimes really chicken-pox, where the
matter is uncertain, it is much more frequently
small-pox in one of its numerous modified
forms, and this error is very often made during
season and under certain surrounding in
fluences, when it is nothing but small pox—
SIMON PURE sMALL—Pox—that dread scourge
that, erea. community realizes the fact, through
the unfortunately erroneous diagnosis of some
one, has been quietly but surely spreading
infection in household after household. Well,
what then ? Way "it turus to genuine small
pox." The first, oh yes, undoubtedly, to be
sure, was malignant chicken-pox. It is an easy
way out s but a fatal one, alas, to many, and we
cannot be too careful in pronouncingjudgment.
It is true chicken-pox does sometimes precede
and accompany an epidemic of small—pox, but
CHICKEN—PDX SEVER TURNS INTO SMALL—PDX, nor
small pox to chicken pox. In the article in ques
Lion, in the News, "the doctor" says, "I think
Messrs. Editors I have shown that the epidemic
now prevailing began as varicella." He seems
entirely satisfied on the subject, but, my dear
Doctor, pause well and reflect another time if
ever again placed in like circumstances. It
is a good rule, particularly in adults, where
you have eruptions resembling chicken-pox,
to remember that it most often indicates small
pox in a modified form, and not chicken-pox,
therefore be on your guard and suspect that
disease; rather err on that side if you be wrong.
You can then, too, follow up the history of the
case, if other cases occur, and you will often
trace the infection back to your first patient.
You may have many, very many of the fore
most symptoms of small pox absent, and yet it
may be that disease in its most malignant
nature. I have had many cases where there
was no well marked eruption, the skin re
sembling a piece of Russian leather, and again
looking very like measles, and again the
vesicles poor,with out umbilieation or depressed
centre, again with a dark. bluish rash,more re
sembling some stages of scarlati ua. "Thomas'"
in Ziemessenn's aork. Vol. 11, page 22, says ;
"According to my experience it is the very
light cases of variola especially, with' only a
moderate exantbem, occurring in vaccinated
adults, and by the very mildness of their notirse
resembling varicella which may give rise to
mistakes."He says again, on page 24, "No
one can therefore justly make the claim that
in every single case all peculiarities of the
course of the disease in question must be
present In an unequivocal manner. He who
desires the characteristic variations of the
course of the fever in varicella and variola
must take the trouble to prove his assertion
on the ground of a careful observation
large nun,iber of cases, of pure and iineOmpli
cated cases of both diseases, &e., &c." Here
then, is the okse in a nutshell. "The Doctor"
says in alluding to three cases to which his
attention had been called, and which it would
seem he pronounced not small-pox, "all three

of these cases tacked th , mbilication. preell('e
pus, dia;.;no,tte oder and iec,iniary I
aLd adds, have seen I'70!11 75 to :i;
treated seven cases of variola, varyinz from
the !niftiest cases of varioloid to confluent
variola, and if these three cases were small
pox CO I have never seen small pox like it
before." "The Doctor" is right enough. No
man is expected to he conversant wi!_h an
abnormal phase of a disease, the lite of which
he ha , never been. In this "the doctor" was
unfortunate, and deserves sympathy instead of
censure, for his 75 or 100 cases which he has
seen evidently did not partake of the variations
of which the disease is capable. "The doctor"
ought to know that there are two forms of
small-pox in which the small pock is absent,
in other words, VAHIOLA SINE EXANTHEMATE
and VARIOLOSA PURPURA, in both of which
forms the eruption is absent, and yet these forms
of the disease will spread the contagion. Vide
Curschmann in Ziemssen, Vol. 11. "The
doctor" will also find that small-pox very often
takes on a form which is apt to deceive an
inexper.enced young physican, and mislead
him into pronouncing it chicken-pox. Indeed,
it is a very difficult matter in some of these
variations of the disease to say just what it is,
but if one is not certain the affection be
chicken-pox, and at all suspicious of variola,
then 'tis better to use precautionary measures
as though treating a mild case of small-pox.
Age, sex, nationality, food, surrounding in
fluences, climate, vaccination, other diseases,
and many more causes may unite in modifying
and producing variations in this most change
able disease, thus rendering it very difficult to
certainly diagnose its nature. Another thing:
It has been clearly proven that infection may
take place, not only before the eruption has
appeared, but good authorities assert that it
can infect even during the incubatory stage.
There are many points bearing on this subject
which appear obscure and mystetious, much
in which there was grave conjecture and ripe
ignorance among many old authorities, but
which late writers have been, by their inves
tigations, enabled to give true and well founded
information, setting error aside and establish.-
ing truth.
Mr. Editor, I fear I have encroached too
much upon your space, and perhaps upon the
patience of your readers, but at a time when a
community is suffering from an epidemic of
small pox, it is naturally excited, and much
interested in any article explanatory of the
disease. My object in this is to show, as
clearly - as possible, that small-pox may assume
a guise so nearly resembling chicken-pox as
readily to be mistaken for it. even by an expert,
and yet not be chicken-pox nor eventually
turn to that disease, but remain small-pox for
a time in a modified form,then "all of a sudden"
take on ever: , symptoms of the disease in its
most typ:c I form.
• Another matter, which I would like to have
placed very fully before the members of the
medical profession of your city, but have not
space, as this is already so very long, so I will
give them but a hint Last. summer I met with
a long series of failures in my heifers. Failure
after failure to my wonder and disgust. in the
animal, the vesicles not taking. You will
understand. My heifers are strapped securely
to a cushioned rack, on their backs, and
shaved around the udders and then inocu!ated
with lympth taken from another heifer. I
found out at last that my assistants had become
careless, and used a strong country soap and
failed to thoroughly cleanse the parts with
plenty of clean water after the shaving process.
I found then, by experimenting, that the
alkalinity of the soap neutralized my lymph,
which has an acid reaction thus rendering it
inert, so there was no "take." I then again
experimented on heifers that bad been vacci
nated, and un the third and fourth days ap
plied plenty of an alkaline soap lather on the
parts which were just commeucing to vesicu
late. To my satisfaction, in every case,
conic' abort or dry up the vesicules, thus
killing the disease. Now then to the point.
If this process will act as a preventive in the
disease vaccina, which is so nearly akin to
small-pox, and if, when in the course or during
the stage of vesiculation, it will abort that
disease, why may it not have the same results
iu small pox, or measles, or perhaps even in
scarlatina? Here is a wide field for investi
gation, and great fame for some one. We have
no small-pox here, hence I cannot experiment,
but I think it will be well worth the attention
of your physicians in the interest of science
and human suffering. It may perhaps result
in a grand and wonderful discovery. At any
rate I can assure you that with the means I
mention I can thoroughly control the disease
in the animal, and I believe it can be dune in
man. All for the public good.

A REVOLUTION IN TUE 31 ANUFAC
TUBE OF PLATE GLASS.-All those interested
in the erection of Plate Glass Works, in the
Juniata Valley, will hear, with pleasure of a
new invention, due to General B. C. Tilgh
man, of Philadelphia, which has been experi
mented with and fudy tested early in the
present month, at the Auiche Plate Glass
%Works, at Aniche, France.
General Tilghman is the inventor of the well
known sand blast process, which has univer
sally siiperceded the ancient method of engtav
ing glass by means of tluorhydric acid. The
sand blast process requires a very hard and
fine sand aid thus Mr. Tilghman was led to
invent his globules of chilled cast iron. These
globules are obtained by dividing liquid cast
iron, by means of a spout of steam, and Wow
.*
in the metal thus divided to fall into a pit full
of cold water. These globules have been toned
to be a great deal harder than emery and at
the same time they are as tough as possible
and arc nut reduced in a finer powder, as em
cry is, when used between two rubbing sur
faces.
Our readers know that plate glass, after
having been cast and annealed, has to go
through the three mechanical operations of
grinding, smoothing and polishing. They
know, also, that the grinding is done by fixing
the plates of rough glass on large turning ta
bles, 25 feet in diameter, which revolve around
a verticle axle, and, by rubbing the glass by
means of other cast iron tables, with interpo
sition of sand. The sand loses its grinding
power in a few seconds and has therefore to be
constantly replaced by other sand, thus pro
ducing large quantities of a mixture of sand
and glass which are the only nuisance of plate
glass works, and which cause many acres of
land to lay waste in the neighborhood of such
works. By the use of the globules of chilled
cast iron this nuisance is done away with al
together, as tha quantity of globules used is
not more than one per cent of the quantity
of saud used for the same purpose. The ex
periments made at Aniche were very conclusive
on this point and also on many others which
we will briefly mention.
let. The great grinding power of Tilghman's
p.ttent globules was clearly demonstrated ;
this grinding power is considerably larger than
the grinding power of a same weight of eui
e y ; how much larger has not yet been deter
mined but it may be saleiy valued to be twen
ty times as large.
21. The steam power, or quantity of steam,
necessary for grinding glass with globules,
was found to be much smaller; about one
half of the steam power or quantity of steam
necessary to grind with sand during is certain
length of time. This fact is explained hy the
absorption of force necessary to pulverize the
sand, whereas the globules remaining as they
are do not absorb any force of that kind.
3d. The time for grinding is considerably
reduced ; 21 hours were sufficient to grind
pe►fectly 275 feet of glass on one side ; with
sand the time would have been double at least.
Thus the total quantity of steam used in the
case of globules is only one quarter of the
'quantity of steam used to produce the same
effect with sand.
4th. The quantity of water used on the turn
ing tables is much smaller in the case of glob
ules than in the case of sand and this also
produces a great economy. The sand after
having lost its grinding power, has to be driv
en away from the platform or turning table
and requires to that effect a constant supply of
water at a high pressure; this water generally
has to be pumped in au elevated reservoir and
is only obtained at a great cost.
All these advantages reduce the cost of grind
ing at least one-half and constitute the great
est modern improvement in plate glass making.
The result is an economy of 4 to 5 cents per
square foot of glass, and all those who have
some knowledge of this manufacture will ad
mit that such an economy is enormous, and
we, as Americans, are proud to acknowledge
the fact that American ingenuity is once more
improving the ancient methods of the old coast
try.
Mr, Tilghman's agents in Europe aro now
busily engaged in arranging for the grant of
licenses to nearly all the Plate Glass Works in
Europe, and those interested may get full in
formation on the subject by addressing "Mon

J•it;i:SAL, not have vattered
so freely. The editor wis consider d a "fanatic,"
hut it would hire been better if the rest were "fa•
natice" like him.-3tount Union Times.
The Local Seto? of Friday devotes its inside
pages to a letter f om Dr. Weistling, in which
, tuthorities are quoted about in :he same way that
kwyer des when he has a hard nut to crack,
but after he got through he adds a paragraph
acknowledging that the drsease in Huntingdon is
now what Cargill's death clearly proved it to b ,
small-p. ,x.—Letro'stoten Gazette.
The Local Yews says "all the physicians" of
that place now 'agree that the disease (prevailing
there) has dtretped into "mall pox." One pro
nounced it so from the first, but the others called
it "confluent chicken-pox." It is well that they
have decided to call the disease by its right name,
even if it is rather a severe reflection on their
judgment.—According to the report of the Hunt
ingdon Board of Health the "confluent chicken
pox" has disappeared from that town, but they
report 26 cases of t+inall-pox.. The very sudden
disappearance of the "confluent" is remarkable, to
say the least.—Tyrone Democrat.
DOCTORS AND EDITORS.—Dr. Geo D. Ballantyne
seems to have been the only one among the Hunt
ingdon physicians, able to distinguish the differ
ence between chicken-pox and small-pox. When
the contagion first made its appearance, it was
treated as black measles, and afterward as chicken
pox, even after Ballantyne had pronounced it
small—pox. Whether this fatal mistake is attrib
utable to ignorance of the true nature of the dis
ease, or to a motive more censurable than the
most criminal ignorance—that being a proper
term as applied to physicians—we are at present
unable to determine. The press of that town,
with the exception of the Local Nerve, is equally
culpable for evincing even more stupidity than
the ductors. The apologetic salve of the Globe, in
its last issne, is not only an insult to the people,
but an outrage on the community. A journal that
ignores the intelligence of its readers, and presumes
on their ignorance, , for the purpose of escaping
merited censure, should be reminded of its duty to
the public; and although we are not disposed to
unduly reprimand our neighbors, we think it
would be a mark of good sense on their part, to
imitate Mark Twain, by acknowledging the "corn."

CURE FOR SMALL Pox.—As every ar
tic!e treating of 02 dreaded scourge of small
pox is read with avidity by all classes of peo
pie, we take pleasure in laying before out
readers the following cure, sent us for publi
cation by a correspotide,t :
EDITOR JOURNAL—Sir :—A great discovery is
reported to have been recently made by a surgeon
of the English arany in China, in the way of au
effectual cure of sin 11-pox. The mode of treat
tne::t is as follows,: When the preeeding
. fever is at
its height, and just betore the eruption ap i .ears,the
chest is rubbed with cruton oil and tartaric oint
went. This causes the whole of the eruption to
appear on that part of the body, to the relief of
the rest. It also secures a full and completeerup
tion, and thus prevents the disease from attacki g
internal organs. Thie is said to be now the estab
lisped mode of treatment in the English army in
China, by general orders, and it is regarded as a
perfect cure.
Rules for nursing small-pox patients: "Have
the patient placed in one of the upper roomsof the
house, the farthest removed from the rest of the
family, where is to be had the best ventilation and
isolation. Keep the room constantly well aired.
Remove all carpets and woolen goods and all un
necessary furniture. Change the clothing of the
patient as often as needful, but do not carry it
while dry through the house, but first place it at
the bedside in a bucket of scalding water, before
removal from the room. If infected clothing can
not be washed at once, let it be set to soak in wat
er, to which may be added of a saturated solution
of permanganate of potassa or of ehl,ride of lime
about a tablespoonful to the gallon. Sosall-pox is
supposed to be most contagious during convales
cence, therefore strictly observe that the patient
does not mingle with the family until the scabs are
entirely off, and only afters thorough purification
by washing and an entire change of clothing. Af
ter the patient is well, or leaves the room, let it
be purified by the use of disinfectants, by white
waehing, and by scrubbing the paint and floor
with soap, soda and water, and let such rooms or
apartments be well aired before being again occu
pied. In regard to food and medicine always rely
on the advice of a physician, who should be sent
for as early as possible."

In nothing is the above more illustrated than iu the
course many pursue in certain kinds of disease. In order
to save a few cants they have what they call their own
prescriptions, such as Balsam Copabia, Turpentine, &c.,
little knowing the baneful influence these drugs have on
the constitution, the disgusting smell from the breath,
and, with all these disadvantages, there is no saving of
money, as the dose has to be renewed over and oyes again
until at last the condition of the patient becomes alarm
ing: then other means have to be resorted to. Read the
words of a sufferer :
Desmond k ca, rels Race Street,Philadelplaia : I appeal
to you, and if there is any earthly relief for me I wish
you would do something for me. About eight montheago

considered almost providential, a positive cure for
Consumption and all Lung Complaints, I feel it
my duty to make it known in a praetical manner
