What Killed George Washington.
Th Kennebec Intelligencer of Jan.
11, 1800, contained the following "Par
ticular Account of the Illness anil
Death of Gen Washington :"
"Some time in the night of Friday,
the 10th ult., having boen exposed to
a raa on ine precceamg day, Uen
Vshigton was attacked with nn in
flammatory a flection of the upper part
oi toe windpipe, called, in technical
language, bynache IrachealU. The dis
ease commenced with a violent ague,
accompanied with some pain in the
upper fore part of the throat, a setise
of stricture in the same part, n cough,
and k d alien It, rather tban a painful,
deglutition, which were soon succeed
ed by fever and a quick and laborious
respiration. 1 he necessity of blood
letting suggesting itself to tbS"Gener
al, he procured a bleeder in the neicli

the night, twelve or fourteen ounces of
blood. Ho could not by any means
do prevailed on by the family to send
for the attending physician till the
foi' owing morning, who arrived at
Mount Vernon- about '11 o'clock on
Saturday. Discovering the case to k
k:ki -i : ..jrr
ui&mj niuirviMg, uuu lorcseeing tue
miai tendency ot the disease, two con
sulting physicians were immediately
sent for, who arrived, one at half after
three, and the other at four o'clock in
afternoon; in the meantime were em
ployed two pretty copious bleedings;
a unsier was applied to the part
anecied, two moderate doses of calo
1 ' . a .
Riei were given, anij an injection was
administered, which operated on tho
lower intestine, but all without any
Eerceptible advantage, the respiration
ecoming still more difficult aud dis
tressing. Upon the arrival of the
first of the consulting physicians it
was agreed, as there were yet no aiens
of accumulation in the bronchial ves
sels of the lungs, to try the result of
another bleeding, when about thirty
two onnces of blood were drawn with
out the smallest apparent alleviation
of the disease. Vapors , of vinegar
and water were frequently inhaled,
ten grains of calnmul were given, suc
ceeded by repeated doses of emetic
tarter, amounting in all to five or six
grains, with no other effect than a co
pious discharge from the bowels. The
power of life seemed now manifestly
Yielding to the force of the disorder;
blisters were now applied to the ex
tremities, together with a cataplasm of
pran anu vinegar to the throat. Speak
ing which was painful from the begin
ning, now became almost impractica
ble; respiration grew more ami -xi
contracted and imperfect, 'till hall
past eloven on Saturday night, when,
retaining the full possession of his in
tellect, he expired without a struggle.
'He was fully impressed at the be
ginning of his complaint, as well as
through every succeeding stage of it;
that its conclusion would be fatal, sub
mitting to the several exertions for his
recovery rather as a duty than from
any expectation of their efficacy. He
considered the operations of death up
on his system as coeval with his dis
ease, and several hours before his
death, after repeated efforts to be un
derstood, succeeded in expressing a
desire that he might bo permitted to
die without further interruption. Dur
ing the short period of his illness he
economised his time in tho arrange
ment of such concerns as required his
attention with tho utmost serenity,
and anticipated his approaching dis
solution with every demonstration of
that equinimity for which his whole
life has been so uniformly and singu
larly conspicuous."
The New York Witness remarks as
follows upon the above account :
"We suppose most of the faculty
now would, after reading the above
medical report, regard the Father of
his Country as having been killed by
thti lancet. And it is well worth while
to consider whether there is not some
equally great mistake in the medical
treatment of diseases now as there was
in 1799. It is our belief that much
mere harm is done by alcoholic medi
cation than ever wus done by bleeding,
and that the more scientific aud
enlighted class of practitioners of some
future day will look back on the alco
holic prescription of 1876 with pity
and disgust.
It is said that nails driven into
fruit trees close to the ground have the
efl'oct of making such trees more heal
fhy, vigorous aiul excellent than those
into which no nails have been driven.
The reason why nails are beneficial is
thus explained. Worms will not at
tack the tree beoause the oxidation or
the rutting of the iron by the sap
evolves ammonia, which as the sap
rises, will, of course, impregnate every
part of the foliage, and proves too
drastic a dose for the dslicate palate
of intruding insects. The salt of iron,
afTordod by nails is extremely offen
sive to the wormswhile it is not harm
less but beneficial to the foliage aud
A DECEIVING WIDOW WOMAN.
James Robbins, of the National av
enue, has been missing for thre'fe days,
hut there is no anxiety around his
house to learn his fate. Ilis wife knows
what caused him to disappear, and she
is willing to let him get a good ready
to come back. Kobbins married a
lone widow about four months ago,
and they had not been wedded two
weeks wheu he gavo her a beating.
She overlooked it then, thinking he
would soon tone down, but in a week
more he blackened her eyes. In brief,
Kobbins turned out to be a brute of a
husband, and the ex-widow had the

and Robbins had no excuse for his
brutality. Four or five days co he

town, and the wife crawled over to a
butcher's to see about having Ilobbins
arrested. The butcher, who weighs
1DU pounds and has a fist like a rMul,
knew a better way than going to tho
ponce, ana neunioiaert a plan.
When Kobbius reached homo that
evening the house was dark and the
