A New CURE FOR CoNsUMPTIoN.-We
and Tribune, and if subsiantiated, the discovery
will be invaluable, especially in this section of
the country.
In the first number of the New Orleans Mon
thly Medical Register, we find an article by Pro-
fessor Stone on the virtues OF s. Phosphate Of
Lime in Scrofula and other depraved states of the
SYSTEM" which is of some moment. 1t was sug-
gested by an essay in the London lancet, on the
physiology and pathology of The oxalate and
phosphate of lime, and their relation to the for
nation of ces.''
''The conclusions of the auihor,'' SAYS Profess
sor Stone, :" are based pom careful chemical re-
search and results from the use of the remedy.
His researches show that in man, as well as In
vegetables and inferior animals, phosphate of
lime as well albumen and fat is absolutely
essential for the formation of cells, and he con-
sders that many OF the pathological states of the
system depend upon deficiency Of this salt. The
affections in which it is advised are alterations
dependent upon general dyscrasia, and not a
mere local affection (; nfantle airophy, in those
suffering from ricketts, and consequent diarrhcea
and tubefcuous Diseases particularly of the lungs
in the early stages
Struck by this article. Professor Stone tested
it, aud he thus describes three cases in which its
virtues were,very obvious The first was that of
slave, who was admitted TO the Professors In
tirmary in July, with disease of the nose, the
whole system showing great progress in scrofu-
lous decay. The usual remedies were unsuccess-
fully applied until August, when cod-liver oil was
used, and the dlsorganizaion of the stomach was
increased by it. The phosphate Of lime was
then aPplled-eight grains three times day. Its
good effects were soon apparent. 1t and the oil
were therefore administered together, and the pa
tent soou was restored TO health.
The second case Is that of a young lady aged
"a. Her disease was one Of ssunmixed plnhsis.
which had been expected to terminate in the
course of few months fatally. The upner part
OF both her lungs filled with tuberces, and in
some places were beginning to soften The case
was evidently bad one. The treatment of cod
liver oil was at first used, but without marked
Improvement. The phosphate Of lime was then
administered with the oil, and the result, as in
Inc case OF the negro, was soon apparent The
patient was rapidly getting well.
The third case was that of child seven wears
OF age, in which phosphate of lime was used
with complete success.
We can only refer briefly to these cases for the
purpose of directing attention to the subject, Be-
lore the dreadful diseases which they describe,
scientific men have stood abashed That there is
some remedy for them we can hardly doubt; and
this may, if thing, be the desderatum
which science is in search of.

We received last night, official returns from

they were rejected.
Ifthis statement is correct, the Wing selectmen
committed papable violation ofhe law If sealed

il is compliance with the law; and the rule adopt

was, to consider all as having been sealed when de-

mother, shall die Tomorrow" Her prediction
