The leading English Journals complain Bit

Times gives the total expenses for twelve
months, at eighty millions of dollars Fer
the present year, the expenditure will be stiIl.
greater, unless peace shall be declared. The
calculation is that at least one hundred mil

view Of the subject, at least fifty millions of
dollars must be raised annually, as long as
the war may last, either by All appeal to the
Money Market, or by doubling the rates upon

Foundation Of Pennsylvania.

According to the annual report Oh tne m
Apd;tor General. the number of taxabie
inhabitants in Pennsylvania is 555, ,2so
Taking the ratio of So of the population
70 every taxable, the aggregate namoer
Sc narsons in the State would thus be d
076 n p6s This. if a correct estimate, shows
an astonishing increase in the last Eve
Years. That is not too high we are GER,
tain. Indeed, we think that the ratio OF
six Inhabitants, to taxable would be
more nearly correct, which would give
the State a population of 3,S49,4l6. By
this latter ratio the city of Philadelphia
would have population Of 52l ,95s souls
while by the former it would be SAG, ls5,
the total number of taxables in the city
being s6,943.

Lemon Juice for Acute Rheumatism.


The treatment Of acute rheumatism
with lemon juice, as recommended in the
Scientific Amcric0a more than year ago
having been successfully praticed in Eu.
rope, has been tried here and found to be
a very effectual remedy. DR.. T. D. Lee
of this city, has communicated his exper-
ience to the New York Journal of Medi.
cine He cites two cases, one male and
the other female, who had been subject
to severe rheumatism for a number oil
years, and who were often troubled with
acute pains, severe swelling. and could
find 10 efectual remedy. He gave the
lemon juice from fresh lemons, in quan.
titles of tablespoonful to twice the quan.
tity Of cold water, with little sugar ev.
cry hour. The effect Of lemon juice was
almost instantaneous; in ten days the
worst case was cured, and in seven the
other was able to go out, and there was
fexibility of the joints Of the cured
quite unusual in recovery after other
modes Of treatment. The London Metli,
cal Times directed attention to this RENE
dy for rheum atism in 1850, and we would
state, that it may answer for one person
and not for another. There are two cases
recorded in Braithwait's Retrospect, Part
%, 1851, page 81 and SO. where one pa
tient was cffectually cured by lemon juice,
after calchiem, calomel and opium had
been tried in vain, and the other where
lemon juice failed, and the patient was
cured with opium, and calomel pills, taken
along with the draughts of the acetate of
potash and nitre in camphor mixture
