Brazil.
The Brazil fever that seized upon some of oul
people year or more ago had pretty well dice
out and we have heard nothing about emigration
to Brazil until within the last month or so. There
are some who still entertain the idea of going there
A year ago there did not appear to us any valic
reason for comfortably citizen emigrating
from our State; but now, since the madness o1
Congress appears bent upon our ruin, we are tai
less fixed in our opinion upon that point.
Consumption.
This is subject upon which everybody is inte-
rested The word carries terror to thousands Of
our readers The popular idea Of Consumption is
that it is fatal disease, without cure, and about
which as little as possible should be known, as il
knowledge itself were deadly thing Within the
last quarter of century it has been demonstrated
that consumption is durable, and the cure is in
the hands of the patient. We feel it our duty to
commend to the attention of our friends work on
this subject by Dr. W. W. Hall, of New York,
editor of Halls Journal of Health. The book is
duodecimo of about three hundred pages; and
contains more practical common sense and really
useful information upon the disease of which We
are speaking than we have ever found in any other
medical work 1t is written in plain direct style,
simple and so popular that anybody can under
stand it. 1t tells us how to avoid consumption,
the earliest symptoms and ample information to
enable us to stave off the disease even when it Is
hereditarily in our systems. 1t shows how to
avoid colds and all other ills that may lead to fatal
results in this direction. 1t is perfectly free from
all the nonsense of technicaiy and the display OF
Understanding words The authors object is to do
good-to relieve suffering and anxiety to save
human life He maintains in this book, that
while consumption of the lungs admits of arrest
and restoration to permanent good health, by
the spontaneous efforts of nature alone, such a
result cannot be reasonably looked for in any given
case by artificial means, without steady, persis-
tent, and systematic observance Of such outdoor
activities regardless of all weathers." He expo
ses the heartess swindles that we constantly see
in the newspapers; such as, newly discovered
drug that will cure Consumption, a new mode OF
inhang medcated vapors that will cure it, or some
famous tonic or oil or oxide or sulphate; for which
the ignorant sufferer pays his money and then
gets worse The author explodes the fatal delu-
sion that Consumptive persons should keep them
selves closely shut up in warm rooms in all bad
weather, 50 as avoid taking cold. He shows that
such treatment is fatal must be fatal and ex-
plains how it is so.
Really we believe the book ought to be in every
body's hands, whether he be consumptive or not !;
and its sound and mtelgtJle teachings will prevent
untold sufferings and often save valuable lives
The title Of it is Consumption, by DIR. W. w.
Hall" 1t sells for $3.50, and can be sent by mail
The same author has written several other
books and we propose to call attention to some of
them on future occasion.
