New CURE FOR CONSUMPTION. I'VE find the fol
lowing statements in the Mobile Herald and Tribune,
and if substantated, the discovery will be invaluable,
especially in this section of the country. We regret
that the quantity of the medicine to be administered at
dose is not given
In the first number of the New Orleans Monthly
Medical Register, which noticed few DAYS ago.
we ind an article by Professor Stone the virtues of
Phosphate OF Lime in Scroua and other depraved
states OF the SYSTEM which is of some moment. 1t
was suggested by an essay in the London Lancet, on
the physiology and pathology Of the oxalate and
phosphate OF lime, and their relation to the formation
of cells
"The conclusions of the author" says Professor
Stone, care based upon careful chemical research aud
results from the OF the remedy His researches show
that in man, well in vegetables and inferior ami
mails phosphate efue well as albumen and fat is
absolutely essential for the formation of cells and he
considers that many OF the pathological states OF the
system depend upon deficiency OF this salt. The al
iectlons Ill which is advised alterations depep-
dent upon general dyecrasia and not a mere local
affection; infanle atrophy liz those suffering from
ricketts, and consequent dlarrhoea and ubeculous dis
eases, particularly OF the lungs in the early stages"
Struck by this article Professor Stone tested it, and
he thus describes three cases which its virtues
very obvious. The fret was that OF slave, who
admitted TO the Professors Inirmary In july, with
disease OF the nose, the whole system showing great
progress in scrofulous decay. The usual remedies
We're unsucce>sully applied until August, when cod
liver oil was used but the Differentiation of the sto
mach was increased by it. The phosphate of lime
was then applied-eght grains three times day. Its
good effects apparent 1t and the oil were
therefore adm Mustered together, and the patient soon
was restored to health
The second case is that of young lady aged 81
Her disease was OF "unmixed phthsis which
might have been expected to terminate in the course
OF few months" fatally The upper part of both her
lungs were filled with tubercles, 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 phos-
phate OF lime was then administered with tho oil, and
the result, as in the of the negro was soon appa
rent. The patient was rapidly getting well.
The third case that of child seven years of age
in which the phosphate OF lime used with com
plete success.
We only refer briefly to these cases for the pur-
pose Ct directing attention to the subject. Before the
dreadful diseases which they describe, scientific
have stood abashed. That there is some remedy for
them we can hardly doubt, and this may, if new
thing, be the desideratum which science is in search
OF.
