The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1860-12-06

An old physician, writing to the Alex
andria Gazette from Mason county Va,
says:
This section of our State has been re-.
markably healthy, until quite lately,
when it has been visited by disease
deemed by many TO be new one; bus
this is altogether a fallacy. / allude to
malady called diptheria, and by the
French diptherite. The doctors disa-
gree as to the character of the disease;
as they are too often apt to do regard
ing the ills that flesh is heir to. But it
is undisputably modification of scar.
latina, or the putrid variety of Richter;
very old author, and therefore, an
old disease instead of new one.
And, in plain English, it is nothing
more nor less than the putrid sore
throat, one of the most dangerous mall
aides that can possibly visit any COM
munity. There is nothing new in it with
me, as l have been familiar with it, at
different periods, for upwards of fifty
six years-a period in which I have
been engaged in the study and practice
Of medicine. o7 a
In communication like the present,
/ can only drop few remarks respect
ing the treatment Of this terrible dis
ease, which has already proved so fatal
in several instances in this and other
neighboring counties, as well as on the
Ohio side of the river. A man by the
name of Swartz lost both of his sons
with it-one nearly of age, and the oths
er sixteen-only few days ago.
Emetics are eminently useful in this
disease,and the earlier they are resort
ed to, the more beneficial will be their
effects; indeed, they may be REQUIRED
to occasionally throughout the whole
course of disease. The bowels should
be kept in soluble state by the mailder
laxatives. But all active perging should
be avoided.
When the fever is on, administer
cooling, acidulated drinks-lemonade
or cold water, and little ice. In the
spyreria, or when the system flags with
much prostration, exhibit warm, stimu-
lating teas, and drink.
The local treatment-I employ vari.
Gus local applications but to mention
a few of them must suffice: Make q
strong solution of the sulphate of lime,
with a plentiful addition of honey. and
use gargle several times or dissolve
two drahms of sal ammonia in a pint
Of water, sweeten well also with honey,
and gargle the throat three or four
times day with it. These gargles
may be employed alternately. The ex-
ternal applications to the throat may
be volatile liniment, or the camphorated
liniment. But when the neck is very
hot, it should be kept as cool as possi-
bic, even when making these topical
applications.

Close her eyelids-press them gently
Ger the dead and leaden eyes,
For the soul that made them lovely
Hath returned unto the skies;
Wipe the death drops from her forehead,
Sever one dear golden tress,
Fold her icy hands all meekly,
Smooth the little snowy dress;
Scatter flowers Ger her pillow
Gentle flowers, so pure and white
Lay the bud upon her bosom;
There-now softly say Good Night.
Though our tears flow fast and faster,
Yet we would not call her back;
We are glad her feet no longer
Tread life's rough and thorny track;
We are glad our Heavenly Father
Took her while her heart was pure,
We are glad he did not leave her,
All hfe's trials to endure;
We are glad-and yet the tear-drop
Falleth; for alas we know
That our fireside viii be lonely
We shall miss our darling so.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shall wait in vain to feel
Little arms, all white and dimpled,
Round our necks so softly steal;
Our wet cheeks will miss the pressure
Of sweet lips so warm and red,
And our bosoms sadly, sadly
Miss that darling little head
Which was wont to rest there sweetly-
And those golden eyes, so bright,
We shall miss their loving glances-
We shall miss their soft Good Night.
When the morrow's sun is shining,
They will take this cherished form,
They will bear it to the church-yard,
And consign it to the worm;
Well-what matter? 1t is only
The clay dress our darling wore;
God hath robed her as an angel,
She hath need of this no more;
Fold her hands, and DER her pillow
Scatter flowers all pure and white,
Kiss that marble brow, and whisper,
Once again last Good Night.
