The blindness and Deafness of Smokers
and Drinkers.

Nj. Siehel, IN the course of twsnty-eig bit
years practice, has frequently met with
blindness from palsy of the optic nerve, pro-
duced by the abuse of smoking, and ne be-
heves that there are tsw persons that can
smoke for any long period more than five
drachms OF tobacco daily without their Wis
ion, and otter their memory, becoming affect.
ed. lie had previously spoken of of another
form OF anaurosis, symptomatic of delerium
tremens, and caused by alcoholic drinks. 1t
is frequently accompanied by trembling of
the hands In the morning. and at a later pc
Rod by morning vomiting. Both of these va
rieties are very slow in tteir progress toward
euro and very refractory to troatment. This
latter occupies a long time, aud an essential
point, of course. is the disoontinuauce of the
practice that has given rise to the blindness
We cannot attempt to give in this place even
an outline of the treatment.
Mr.. Trignet states that in smokers and
drinkers an insidious and obstinate form of
inflammation of the ear (otitus) frequently be-
comes developed. There is q kind of numb
ness or torpor of the ear, with a sense of cold
but hardly any pain. There is NO wax in
the ear, but extreme dryness aud minute
grsnulations in the throat, the passages OF the
nose, and the tubes On each side, leading
from the mouth, behind the palate to the
middle of the ear. Noises In the ear almost
always occur at an early period, and it is i'm
portant TO notice that they have kissing
sound. The disease exhibits itself In three
periods /. That OF excitement, in which
there Is intolerance of noise and Kissing
sound in the ear. 2. That of depression, in
which the Kissing sound disappears or only
remains az a distant and feeble echo !; and,
3. That of a paralytio condition of the audit
DRY nerve, in which the sense of hearing is
more or less completed y. and often permanent
ly, lost. In this period there is also often
trembling of the tongue, embarrassment of
speech and distur bancs of vision. The prog
nosis is very unfavorable, for those persons
alone are susceptible of cure who will consent
to leave off the bad habit which mas produced
the disease.

There is but little animation in the hog
market at this place yet. There are plenty
of hogs in the country, but the farmers insist
on higher prices than the buyers are willing
to give The experience of the past ten ears
is not calculated to develop any extraordinary
pluck On the part of pork men. The hogs are
