leans, DIR. Cartwright, has com
municated to the Boston Medic al
and Surgical Journal, an article
entilitlf d "Tbc Sugar House Cure
Tor Bronchial, Dyspeptic, and Co n-
sumptive Codiplaints.'' Itis stated
that a residence in a sugar house
during the rolling season, far sur
passes any other means of restoring
flesh, strength, and health, lost BY
chronic ailments Of the chest, throat,
and stomach. The rolling seaso n
is the harvest, when the canes ate
cut, the juice expressed, and con-
veried into sugar. lii Louisiana it
commences about the middle Of Oc-
tober, and ends at Christmas but
is sometimes protracted into Janua-
ry. Dir. G. says the yapor is most
agreeable and in bis own case er-
tirely X moved a distressing cough.
He stood for hours in The sugar
house inhaling the vapor, and drink
ing occasionally a glass Of the hbt
cane juice.
