TIE IRON WORKS OF DAVID GRAHAM, ESQ


This gentleman manufactured most Of the iron used
in the Southwest Of Virginia, prior to the completion
of the Virginia and Tennessee Road. He commenced
operations in 1928 and has been making pig and mer
chant iron ever since. He s one otbose large head
ed great hearted iron mssters, who we're ready and
waiting, years ago, to have made Virginia as much
manufacturing State as any in the Union; but, like
others, he disappointed In the policy OF the State
and her statesmen. According to the means and the
demand and under the circumstances which have e1-
ised, Mr.. Graham's works may have been called as
they were thought in this part of the State extensive
Besides a furnace he has rolling MILL which IS ca
pabe of turning out four tons of merchant iron per
day and nail msnufsctory, capable OF producing
lUuO pounds of nss daily. The iron made here is
much better than any which comes from the North,
or which ia imported, being made entirely from our
mountain ores with charcoal. tits, however, rough
and unskifuy hnisbed owing to the simple and
primitive machinery made uss Of. Yet, from SlOO to
sllO per ton is readily paid for Mr.. Grabam's horse
shoe, tire and merchant iron. generally oy our smiths
and othsre who know it, before they will give $so

Besides the rolling mill, trip hammer and nail ~orks,
there are both saw mill and grist mill attachso 10

CURE FOR CoSsUMPTIoE.-The Frepoh ply
sicians are at present much interested in a new
treatment for consumption, introduced By Dr.,
J. T. Churchill, an American physician in Paris
Dr. Churchl's theory of consumption is that
it is owing to an undue waste or an insufficient
supply of phosphorus in the system
TO supply this want he administers the hyPo
phosphates of lime and soda, in doses Of from
five to twenty grains daily in sma quantity
of sweetened water. In a paper read by him
before the Academy of medicine at Paris he
gave an account of fortyone cases treated in
this way with success. He insists that the cure
of consumption in the second and third stages
TAT a period consequently when there car be Oh
tanned in all cases by this treatment, except
when the existing lesion of the lungs is Of j.
self sufficient to produce death. He also says
that these substances have not only a curative
effect, but will, if used wherever there exists 4
suspicion of the disease, prevent its develop
ment. and thus act as a preservative viii re-
gard to consumption, just as vaccination decs
with regard to small ro1.
