Fifteenth Am ndment
The overwhelming rejection by the House
of the Senate amendments to the Constitu
tional Amendment concerning Suffrage,
leaves thut whole question uncertain. The
difference between the two Houses is marked.
The Representatives merely sought to guar
antee suffraok from limitation on account
of race, color, or previous condition of
slavery, thus:
"The right of nny citizen of the United
Rtntes to vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States, or nny tote, by rea
son of race, or color, or previous condidition
of Slavery, or any citizen or class of citizens
in the United States."
The Senators extended the guarantee to
OFFicE-noi.PF.R3 as well as suffrage, and make
it apply against nny educational, property,
nativity, or religious qualification, as well
as against any riding out of tho old slavery
distinctions:
"No discrimination shall be made in the
United States among the citizeus of the
United States in the exercise of the elective
franchise, or in the right to hold office in any
State, ou account of race, color, nativity,
property, education or creed.1'
When tho Senate, which is usually themore
conservative body, was found coming up to
these advanced positions of a genuine Democ
racy, it was thought probably that the
House would wil'.iugly assent. Its decided
refusal makes us fur less certain as to the
future of the amendment ou which so many
hopes have been built.
Climate and Locality Their Influence in
mitigating Pulmonary Tuberculosis,
et a. p. pucnEit, M.
From the remotest antiquity physicians
have recommended change of climate and
location for their physical patients. From
the days of Hippocrates dowu to the present
time, volumes have been written on this sub
ject, and great diversity of opiuiou exists iu
relation to the place where the patient
should be sent, and the time when he should
go.
1. ITALY, MIXSESOTA, LAKE SLTFRIOR, AND
TEXAS, AS RESIDENCES FOR PUTISICAL PATIENTS.
In this country it has been the custom,
for years, with most of our physicians, when
a man has injured his health by too high
living aud sedentary life, to order him forth
with to Kurope; particularly if he 'possess
wealth or has a L. D. to the end of his
name. And if be has threatening symptoms
of phthisis pulmonalis, bo is ordered to tho
South of Europe. This is regarded as the
happy clime wnich once reached by a phth
sicul invalid, is sure to make his disease dis
appear aud restore him to perfect health.
But if we compare the number who visit
them actually diseased aud who deposit their
remains mere, witu those who return with
improved health, we will find small encour
agement to recommend our patients to leave
their own couutry.
We have iu the United States, all the
various climates that are to be found in the
world; aud if there be oue spot on this globe
more beneficial to a phthisical Dutient than
another, it is here. Two sections of our
country have recently become tiuito cslebra-
ted as a residence for individuals suffiring
from this disease; Minnesota and the South
ern shore of Luke Superior. For tea sum
mers we have seen lur;e numbers of patients.
from all eastern cities, thronging our steam-
Doats ana ruilway cars, bourn! tor St. Paul
or Marquett in pursuit ot hee.lth. And in
many instances they return in the full very
much improved, and perhaps a few have re
gained tueir original health and vigor.
Hut while we uro willing to admit the ex
cellency of these places us a temporary re
sidence for phthisical putiei is, we are well
satUfied thut thero is another portion of our
couutry, which in point of ealubrity and
adaptation of climate for the class of iudi
vidualsjust named, far surpasses these, if
not uny other on the face of the globe. I
refer to the South-western part of the State
of Texas. And if the reports of those who
have gone there iu pursuit of health aud
those who reside there speak the- truth, this
regiou will yet be the paradise of the world;
at leuBt so far us its geography and climate
are concerned.
No section of our vast country cun rank
with that portion of the State of Texas we
have named, either iu oiilduesa of climate or
equability of utmosphere. It baa a meun
winter temperature of about 53 degrees, Urn.
But its chief characteristic is its exemption
from swamps uud staguaut p tola. The land
commonly ascends from the water courses,
and risiug to moderute eminences precludes
the formation, of swamp or putrid pools tu
any extent. This is probably one tffieieut
cause of the singular purity uud equality of
the atmosphere, which is so frequently
noticed iu the reports of our armv aurneona.
who have been statioued in that sectiou of
the couutry. While the summer air of
t : : i ... . .
xjuuisiuuu is coinniueu witu moisture sur
charged with noxious miasm, the pure air of
South-western Texas is refreshed and reno-
Tuted by lively breezes from Old Ocean,
rolling over a dry. verdant, varying surface,
imparting elasticity, health and" vigor to all
who inhale it
Now here is a country where perpetual
summer smiles, where flowers are constantly
bloomiug. aud the fields arrayed in their
richest green. Here, too, is un equable
atmosphere, sufficiently warm and dry iu the
winter mouths, aud not loaded with moisture
and poisonous effluvia in summer. Are cot
all the climactic wants of the phthisical
patient here fully met? Indeed, there is
liothiug on this continent or Kurope that
cau compare with it, even fair famed Italy
must yield th pulu to the Lone gtr. "
"The rerr circumstances "says Dr. James
Johnson, "which forms the charm, the at
traction, the theme of praise, in the Italian
climate, is that which renders it dangerous,
because deceitful the long interval or One
weather between viciaitudes of great magni
tude. This is the bane of Italy, whose
brilliant sky and balmy rephyrs flatter only
to betray. They first enervate the constitu
tion, end when the body is ripe for the
tramontane, tho ruthless blast descends from
tho mountains on the helpless victim, more
fierce and destructive than the outlawed
bandit on the unsuspecting traveler."
After remarking upon the humidity of the
atmosphere, he adds: "Northern strangers,
and more especially invalids, unaccustomed
to a genial atmosphere in the depth of win
ter, sally forth to enjoy the glorious sunshine
or the respbndent moonlight of Italy, and
like tho Grecian shepherd,
'crolllnjj In tho sight,
Eye the blue vault, and bless the cheerful lltfht.'
But they huvn too often reason to curse in
the sequel, the seductive climate of the
classic, which mingles the poisonous miasma
with the refreshing breezes,, und thus cou-
veys the gem of future maladies on the wings
of fragaut zephyrs "
2. FLORENCE, NAPLES, AND NICE, A RESIDENCE
FOR PHTHISICAL INVALIDS.
For years European physicians hare been
in the habit of sending their phthisical
patients to Florence, Naples, and Nice; the
latter plate in particular is the chosen spot
the consumptive's parndise. The menu
temperature of this place iu winter is 48 de
grees. But it is sut'ject to cold eusterly
wiuds, and during their prevalence the air is
damp and fogey. The transitions of temper
ature are also very sudden, producing all our
best writers admit, the most injurious effects
npou till invalids who aro in a critical con
dition. Years ago that great and good physician,
Sir James Clarke, eondnmed this place as a
residence for phthi.-ical invalids. Here is
his emphatic utterance. "When this disease
is complicated with nny inflammatory, or
highly irritable state of the mucous mem
brane of the larynx, ttachea, bronchia, or
of tho stomach, STice is decidedly un unfa
vorable climate; end without extreme care
on the pr.rt of such patients, and a very strict
regimen, tho complaint will in all probability
bo aggravated by a residence hero. Indeed,
the cases of consumption which ousht to be
sent to Nice are of rare ocenrrnnee."
All who have examined this subject with
that care which its importance demands,
must have discovered that tho best climate
for a phthisical patient is one which is dry,
equable, and of rather low temperature.
Indeed, a low temperature is much to be
preferred to a uniformly high temperature,
because it generally exerts a tonic aud stimu
lating effect upon the system, while a high
oue produces general debility and exhaustion.
It is no doubt owing to this low temperature
of tho atmosphere, that even in summer, the
climate of St. Paul and Marquette has prov
ed so beneficial to individuals suffering with
pulmouary tubereulosis. It appeurs to tone
up the nervous forces, sharpen the appetite,
promote digestion, and prompts to exercise,
all of which are very desirable, indeed, ab
solutely needed iu mitigating this wasting
malady.
For a summer residence for phthisical
patients, the places just named are as good as
any thing cau be found But when winter
comes they are too cold; and I have yet to
seo the first consumptive who has remained
in their place all winter, who has not been
positively injured. Not so, however, with
Georgetown, or Clarksville. Texas, Clurks
ville in particular is my favorite location for
phthisical patients tho year round. Its site
is healthy, und it has a dry and equublo cli
mate. Pulmonary disorders are exceedingly
rare. Dr. B. Norris of the United States
army, who spent some time iu its vicinity,
regards the climate of this place as very
beneficial to persons suffering with phthisis,
and was not acquainted with a siug'o case of
the disorder that had originated there.
Previous to our great war, I sent several
patient! affected with pulomonury tubercu
losis to Texas, all of whom were more or less
benefited, and in one instunve a permanent
cure was affected. This was the case of a
merchant who had been under my care for
nearly a year. I had quite exhausted my
stock of therapeuties upon him, aud began
to look for breakers. At this time he had
a vomica of cousiderable magnitude in the
left lung, with pbisical sign of crude tuber
cular deposits in the right. Ho had lost
flesh and strength, but was still able to at
tend tc his business. One day when coil
versing with him, I carelessly remarked,
that I thought the best way for him to get
relief for his malady would be to go to
Texas. Imagine my surprise a few days
alterwurds, when a friend told me that he
had made np his miud to go. This was
about the middle of October he went, spent
a pleusant winter, and came home about the
first of June, very much improved in general
health, with a marked mitigation of the
local disorder in the lungs. He was so n uch
pleased with the country that he concluded
to make it his present home. He returned
early in the fall, bought a farm near Clarks
ville, kept a large number of sheep, ami en
gaged iu all the active duties of a farmer's
life. His health was permanently restored.
I shall ever believe that his life was saved by
going to Texas.
In this commending Texas as a residence
for phthisical invalids, I do uot wish any
practitioner to send his patients there simply
upon my authority. Others have eulogized
the couutry and its climate, as a place of
residence for individuals suff'-ring with this
disorder, far beyond anything that I have
said. Allow me to quote the opiuion of
oue who bus given more attentiou to tb
study of climate, and its influence in re
turding phthisis, than any other American
writer with whom 1 am acquainted, one who
had tried the influence of various climates,
without any very material benefit I refer
to the distinguished and lamented Dr. L. M.
Lawsoo.
In his "Practical Treatiso on Phthisis
Pu'mooalis," page 530, we find the following:
"It is a conceded fact, however, that the
climate of Texas ia favorable to consump
tives, not only during the winter, but also in
the summer. Indeed, it is probably that a
residence the year round would be preferable
to a temporary sojourn during the wiuter.
nut if this course be adopted, it is necessary
that the summer be spent in the more north
ern portions where the temperature is seldom
oppressive. Iudeed, througout the entire
country, the Gull breeze renders the summer
lights cool aud -vigoratiug. Examples are
by no meaus rare of persons predisposed to
the disease, or with it actually developed, en
tirely recovered by a protracted sojourn in
Texas.
3. COLD, NOT A PRIMARY CAUSE OF Tl'OERCU
LOSIS. 1

cular patient? Because 1 do not consider
uum primary cause oi ma uiwow, t ia
roe, most all of old writers in the practice
of urodicia regarded ,A ' n of it Teat
causes. If pulmonary tuberculosis was the
offspring of pneumonitis, then cold might
be regarded its primary cause; for this dis
order is more frequently produced by cold
than any other cuuse. Tubercle is not the
product of inflamation: it is a degenerated
material elmioated from the blood, having
physical anil microscopical elements specifl
cafly its own. We are willing, however, to
admit, that when tubercles have been exuded
into the pulmonary tissues, they may be de
veloped more speedily by undue exposure to
cold, and the itiflumution which often super
venes. Indeed it is still an open question;
whether persons who have suffered from
pneumonitis, are more subject to pulmonary
tuberculosis than others. From my own
observation I would say that they were not.
Thut cold ia not a primary cause of tuber
culosis may also be inferred from the fact,
that it is not so common in cold countries as
warm. Thus at Stockholm, the capital of
Sweden, sixty persons out of a thonsnnd die
with phthisis. At St. Peterburg, sixty-six
in the same number. These cities are in the
northern clime where the winters are ex
tremely cold. A.t London and Paris about
two hundred and thirty-six die in a thousand.
The climate of these two cities is temperate.
Iirthe city of New York and Philadelphia
the mortality from the disease is a fraction
less than two hundred in a thousand. The
climate of these cities is changeable, but
for the most pnrt cold. In nearly all the
southern cities of this country, particularly
those situated on the Atlantic coast, phthisis
causes about oue fifth of the mortality. In
the West Iudies, where the climate is very
warm, tuberculosis is very common, constitu
ting a large mortality, especially among the
uegroes, one half ot whom, it is said, die
with this disorder. In the East Indies con
siderable numbers fall victims to this wasting
malady. At the extreme north, according
to Dr. Kane, phthisis is almost unknown.
If, then, this disease originated from cold,
we would naturally expect to find it more
frequent ill northern than southern climes
More Ircquent at Mockholm and at. feters
hurg, than in Pari", London or New York.
More common in the latter places than in
many of our southern cities; but such is not
the case. JLncuhiy has more to do with the
production of this diseaso than temperature.
This has been clearl) demonstrated by the
researches of Dr. Henry I Bowdich of
Hoston. In his address delivered betore the
Massachusetts Medical Society, May 28,
18C2, on "Consumption iu New Englaud, or,
Locality one of its Chief Causes,'- he maiu-
taius the following proposition:
"1st. A residence ou or near a dump soil
whether that dampness be inherent iu the
soil itself or caused by presolatiou from ad
jacent ponds, livers, meadows or springs, is
oue of tl3 principle causes ol consumption
ii. Massachusetts, probahl v in ew t.ngland,
aud possiblv in other portions of the globe.
"2d. Cousumptiou can be checked in its
career, and possibly, nay probably, prevent
ed in some instances by attending to this
law."
Dr. Bowdich has produced a large mass of
evidence to prove these propositions. It is
testimony gathered Irom bis own experience
and a large number of physicians, iu the
State of Massachusetts, eugaged iu the active
duties of their vocation. With few excep
tions, they all bear testimony to tho fact,
that ia certain localities the inhabitants are
more obuoxious to phthisis than in others,
and that those places are commonly very
damp. Indeed it has beeu proved years ago
by tho mortuary statistics of the United
lutes army, that the deuths from phthisis
at maritime) stations are more than double
what they ure further iuluud, ai.d all places
surrounded by water, orvulleys made verdant
by flowing strcnms, . ore more j reductive of
this scourge of bumuuity thau dry mountain
ous regions.
But 1 must confess, from my own observa
tion, that change of climate or locality has
very little influence ic mitigating or retar
ding confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis; und
that those individuals who are peeking a
remedy from these sources uloue, uro pursu
ing a phantom. 1 nm well satisfied, that we
freqeutly make a great mistuko, iu ordering
our phthisical patients from all the comforts
ot home, and kind iriemls, to a new uud un
tried locality aud climate. I have met with
many instances where it. had a very unfavor
able influence upon the successful treatment
of the malady. In most cases the iuvalid
expects to derive some specific virtues from
the locality or climate. He, thcretore,
quietly seats himself down, discards or
neglects other efficient thernpeutieul meas
ures, and waits for the coveted blessing.
But it never comes, und cannot, without the
diligent employment of such medical ugen
cies as are knowu to liuvo an influence in
correcting the tubercular diathesis, and the
arresting the local lesion No mutter how
favorable the local and climatic ndvautages,
the latter must not be neglected, if the
disease is in any way mitigated or succcsi-
tuliy treated.

Whether we consider its claims as bae
upon Ihe elegance aud superiority of the

We know of no othar English or American

it in completeness and variety. A. J, Itmei
