M Its Physiological and :Medicinal effects upon the human System. 3 00 P.AI Ma. EDITOR: It is my desigi in this communication to point out, as far as my limited time and space will allow, the ef fects of alcoholic. stimulation upon the lungs in health, and its abuse as a med icine in cuLsumption, The subject as sumes importance from the fact that many have been induced to indulge in the habitual use of intoxicating drinks, The honest, but mistaken notion, that it was a preventative of the much dreaded disease—consumption The mistake bas arisen in part from the similarity. of symptoms produced by tubercular con sumption. Hard drinkers have languor, lassitude, irregular appetite, cough in the morning attended not unfrequently with bloody expectoration ; consumptives suf fer from similar symptoms. When the above described hard drinkers have died, and although they had the symptoms of tubercular disease while living, a post mortem examination has usually showed that they were free from it. This free dom from tubercular disease was errone ously atrributed to their excessive use of alcoholic stimu la nts. Circumstances like the above have led to the investigation and obserVation of facts, to ascertain the real effects of alcohol upon the lungs in health and disea,e. In the year 1850, Prof. Davis, of the Chicago Medical Collage, commenced a series of experiments designed to test the effects of alcoholic liquors upon the func tions of circulation and respiration and animal heat. The manner and result of these experiments were embodied in a report by Prof. Muzzy, of Uiticinnati,and submitted to the American Medical As sociation in 1855. The report not only received the approbation of the associa tion, which embraced men of the most distinguished medical talent in every State iu the Union, but also awarded to Dr Muzzy, one of its principal prizes.— Space will not allow me to give a detailed account of these experiments, therefore, I can only give a condensed summary of the results. Ist. Circulation. In thirty minutes after a moderate dose of alcoholic stimu lant was taken, the pulse was increased in frequency without any augmentation of strength or fulness, and continued so for an hour or more when it gradually subsided, and in two hours and a half be came less than natural. When the ef fects of the stimulation had passed off the pulse sunk as much below the natural standard as it had been carried above by the stimulation. 2nd. Lungs. It is the natural fine tion of the lungs to furnish oxygen to the system, and carry off the carbonic acid gas of the expired air. Prof. Davis fOund that one hour after taking one ounce of brandy the amount of carbonic acid gas began to decrease, and continued to diminish until two hours were past, when it was found to be natural by more than th rty percent. This diminution of carbonic acid gas in the expired air was caused by the stiptic effects of the alco hol upon the worn out materials of the blood by preventing their oxidation. 3rd. Heat. The temperature began to lessen at the end of one hour, and con tinued to diminish for several hours, the thermometer standing one degree lower goctry.

The latter ex periment explains a fact well known to men of observation,that in cold climates the human frame has less power of re sisting cold under the influence of alco hol than without it Sir John Ross, Dr. Kane and other Arctic voyagers are all uniform in their testimony that spirit drinkers endure less and freeze much quicker than water drinkers. The in ference from the above experiments is conclusive that alcohol does not furnish for respiration,y or feel for the production of animal heat. From what has been shown in this and former communica tions, I am confident that every candid mind will admit that there is no use for alcoholic stimulation in the healthy human organization. The idea of using it as a preventative of any disease is as absurd as would be the use of any other poisonous drug for that purpose. Opium is a valuable medi cine for Llysentery,strychnine in paralysis, and quinine in intermittent fever, but uo sane man would prescribe those medicines for a well person, with a view to prevent the occurrence of the 'disease for which they are servicable. But the question is asked, are not alcoholic stimulants a good medicine in consumption ? Undoubtedly in some cases. So is Indian llemp,Prussie Acid, Fusil Oil, and other equally poisonous drugs,useful medicincs,but none of them are preventives. It is an admitted filet among all intelligent physicians, that tu bercular consumption is a disease of early life, and is owing to the inability of the stomach and digestive organs to assimmi late food enough to nourish the tissues of the system. Hence, that manner of life and that course of action, which is best calculated to invigorate the digestive or gans, is the true pre‘entive of consump tion. Whatever will increase the appe tite, promote healthy digestion and build up the tissues of the body are preventives of consumption. Among . the great pre ventive remedies are,.nod and Wholesome, animal diet, fresh air and vigorous exer- EMU Alcoholic stimulation is useful in c3n sumptiou when it enables the patient to cat more, and take more exercise. But it so happens that those who use alcoholic stimulants generally eat less. When such is the CaSJ ,th cy become decidedly injuri ous and should be wholly discarded. .anow The New York.

[WHOLE NUMBER 1,907• Malls Journal of health says : That warm air must be impure, mid that, con sequently,it is hurtful to sleep in a, com paratively warm room. A warm room is as easily ventilated as a cool one. The warm air of a close vehicle is less injuri ous, be it.over so foul,from crowding,than to ride and sit still and feel uncomforta bly cold .for an hour. The worst that can happen from a crowded conveyance is a fainting spell; while, from sitting even less than an hour in a still, chilly atmosphere, has induced attacks of pneu monia, that is inflammation of the lungs, which often proves fatal in three or four days. It is always positively injurious to sleep in a close room where water freezes, because such a degree of cold causes the negatively poisonous carbonic acid gas of a sleeping-room to settle near the floor, where it is breathed and re-breathed by the sleeper, and is capable of producing typhoid fever in a few hours. Hence there is no advantage,and always danger, especially to weak persons in sleeping in au atmosphere colder than the freezing point. That it is necessary to the proper grid efficient ventilation of a room, even in warm weather, that a window or door should be left open; this is always haz ardous to the sick and convalescent.— Quite as safe a plan of ventilation, and as efficient, is to keep a lamp or small fire burning in the f re-place. This creates a draft., and carries bad airs and gasses up the chimney. That out-door exercise before break fast is healthful. It is never so. And front the very nature of things,is hurtful, especially to persons of poor health; al though the very vigorous practice it with impunity. In winter the body is easily chilled through and through, unless the stomach has been fortified with a good warm breakfast; and in warm weather, miasmatic and malarious gasses and ema nations speedily-act upon the empty and weak stomach in a way to vitiate the cir culation and induce fever and ague, diar rhoea and dysentery; etitirq, families, who *lld arranged to_cat.,brea.kfast,before leaving the house and to take supper before sundown, have had a complete ex emption from fever and ague, while the whole community around them was suf fering front it, from having neglected these precautions. That whatever lessens cough is "good" for it, and if persevered in, will cure it. On the contrary, all coughs are soonest cured by promoting and increasing them ; because nature en deavors by the cough to help bring up the phlegm and yellow matter which is in the lungs, as the lungs cannot heal while that matter is there. And as it cannot be got rid of without coughing, there is the sooner it is got rid of—the sooner are the lungs cleared out for the fuller and freeer reception of pure air, which is their natural food. The only remedies which can do any good in coughs are such as loosen the phlegm, and thus less cough is required to bring it up. These remedies are warmth, out door exercise,and anything which slightly nauseates. J. S.

When they first grow up and come into society, they of course consider it the first aim of existence, but in a year or two they become different, and lose all care for it; but as they grow to be about twenty-five or so on, their old anxiety returns stronger than ever."— Emilll Chester.
