The Swing as Cure for Consumption.

DR. Lawson Long, of Holyoke, Mass, writes
to the editor of the Springfield Republican as
follows
:" ] wish to say few words to whom it may
concern on the use of the swing one of the gym
nastic exercises as preventive and cure of pull
monary disease. | mean the suspending of the
body by the hands, by means Of strong rope
or chain fastened to beam at one end and at
the othera stick three feet long, convenient to
grasp with the hands. The rope should be fas-
tened to the centre of the stick, which should
hang six or eight inches above the head. Let
the person grasp this stick two or three feet
apart, and swing very moderately. at frst-per-
haps only bear the weight if very weak-and
gradually increase, as the muscles gain strength
from the exercise until it may he used from three
to five times daily.
The connection of the arms with the hands
with the exception of the clavicle with the ster
mum or breast bone, being muscular attach
ment to the ribs, the effect being to elevate the
ribs, and enlarge the chest and as nature al
lows no vacuum, the lungs expand to Gil the cav
ity, increasing the volume of ar-the natural
purifier of the blood-and preventing congestion

prescribed the above for all cases of hemorrage
Of the lungs and threatened consumption for thir-
ty-fve years, and have been able to increase the
measure of the chest from two to four inches
within a few months and always with good re-
suits. But, especially as a preventive, | would
recommend this exercise Let those who love
life, cultivate well formed capacious chest =
The student, the merchant, the sedentary, the
young of both sexes-aye, all should have
swing upon which to stretch themselves daily

practised by the rising generation in dress al

thousands, yes, tens of thousands would be saved
from the ravages Of that opprobrium medicorum

a fearful eye watched her movements and in
simultaneously each wine glass was transferred
to the marble table on which it had been pre-
pared. Then, as she looked at the fragraments
of crystal she turned to the company saying:
Hereafter, let no friend who loves me tempt
me to peril my soul for wine Not firmer are the
everlasting hills than my resolve, God helping
me, never to touch or taste the terrible poison
and he, too to whom | have given my hand +;
who watched over my brothers dying form in
that solemn hour, and buried him there by the
river in that land of gold WILL | trust, sustain
me in that resolve. Will you not, my hds-

His glistening eyes, his sad sweet smile was his
answer. The Judge left the room, and when an
hour after he returned, and in a most subdued
manner took part in the entertainment of the
bridal guests no one could fail to read that he,
too, had determined to Danish the enemy at once
and forever from its princely home
Those who were present at the wedding will
never forget the impression so solemnly made:
Many from that hour forswore the social glass.
It may be sufficient to say that the young cou-
pie never broke the pledge, but to this day take
pleasure in reciting the thrilling sketch Of the
Bridal Wine Cup.

Beautiful Allegory.

Mr. Crittenden was engaged in defending a
man who had been indicted for capital offence
After an elaborate and powerful defence, he
closed his effort by the following striking and
beautiful allegory: ...
e When God in his eternal counsel conceived
the thought of mans creation, he called to him
the three ministers who wait constantly upon
the throne Justice, Truth, and Mercy-and
thus addressed them:
"Shall we make man ?" Then said Justice,
% God, make him not, forhe will .trample upon
thy laws Truth made answer also, 80 God ).
make him not, for he will pollute thy sanctuaries y
Bnt Mercy, dropping upon her knees, and look
ing up through her tears, exclaimed, 1" Q God,
make him-I viii watch over him with my care
through all the dark paths which he may have
to tread Then God made man, and said to
him, g o man, thou art the child of Mercy;
go and deal with thy brother" .....
The jury, when he finished where drowned ia
tears, and against evidence, and what must have
been their own convictions, brought in verdict
of not guilty.
