Report from Grand Division Sons OF Temperance
Holden Mt Ferry village, Cape Elizabeth, April
9th and 2Sth,

Discussion was had upon political ac-
ton, as to advising the State Temperance
Committee in regard to calling State Con-
vention, whether it should be called before or
after the Republican Convention which re-
suited in the adoption of the following re-
solves;
Resolred, In the opinion of this Grand Di-
vision, a State Temperance Convention should
be called to nominate a candidate for Cover
nor, and make all necessary arrangements for
thorough and efficient campaign.
Resolred, That to be consistent temperance
men we must give our votes for such men,
and such only, as are in favor of the imme-
date and certain suppression of the liquor
traffic in this State.
Many argued that we should wait until after
ly meant as many of them talk, prohibition,
and means to enforce it, and should make it
manifest by nominating a man of well known
and undoubted temperance principles, one that
would carry out these principles if elected
then we should not be obliged to have another,
or separate nomination for Governor. but that
all temperance men would then join hands
and help elect such man.
resolution was adopted, instructing the
delegates to the National Division to use their
regard to color, in the representation of the
Order.
Representatives were chosen to the various
religious bodies which convene soon in differ
ent parts of the State
The session has been pleasant and inter-
esting one, being holden in pleasant, and one
of the most temperate places in the State for
place of its size, there not being single
place where intoxicating liquors, even ale and
strong beer is sold, even their apothacary
shop is not supported by the sale of any thing
of the kind. They have several large and
fourishng temperance organizations. They
only need a steam ferry to make this to Port
land, what Brooklyn is to New York.
The next quarterly session of the G. d.,
will be holden in Bangor, commencing the
fourth Wednesday of July next RUsNAM.
The letter from Washington, in another
column, touches upon matters of the great
est political Importance to our State, as
well as to other parts of the country. The
movement which is being made to pros
trate the industry of this country at the
feet of foreign and inimical interests will
get small support in Maine, for it strikes
at the prosperity of all classes and con-
ditions. This State is not an old and fin
veloped and its industry established; but
it is in a formative condition, and would
be crushed under the policy which is be-
ing set afoot by the so called revenue re-
formers

SATURDAY MORNING, April 80. 1870.

The Portland Advertiser ("bless its little
soul") shall have all the, chance it desires
to discuss Mr.. Blaine and Mr. Blaine's
qualifications for Senator, or whatever it
pleases, but we insist flat it shall not un-
dertake to make him Senator whether he
will or nil. and that it shall study the poll
ties of the State sufficient to locate Bath in
its proper congressional district. After
the Advertiser has taken the trouble to go
all the way to London to get candidate
to relieve Mr.. Blaine from serving this dis
trict again, it is entitled to good deal of
consideration for its zeal in Mr.. Blaine's
behalf. even though its candidate is inel-
gble; nevertheless we think it ought not
to push things too fast in the senatorial di-
rection. We fear the Advertiser may be
like the ''little man. we read of who also
went to London because
1.-The rats and the mice they made such strife
He was forced to go to London TO buy him wife"
This little man. undertook to wheel his
wife home on wheelbarrow, but on the
way, as the story goes,
1.-The wheelbarrow broke and the wife got a fall,
And away went wheelbarrow, wife and all"
We think we see Mr. Morse capsized about
this time, and if the wheelbarrow upon
which he rode Uhe Adyertiser) is not
broken, it is like the runaway soldier, ter
ribly demoralzed.

THE CAUSE OF RUPTURE.

In some instances the disease Is cougenjlal
other, and greater number Of cases. il occur,
alta later period Of life, in consequence Of
some forcible effort, as in lifting heavy
weight, Jumping, coughing, &c. Those occu-
pati0ns 10 which the individual is exposed to
sudden violent muscular efforts predisposo
strongly to the occurrence Of rupture and In
these employments the tendency to the disease
is often greatly increased by the injurious
habit Of wearing tight gir,hs or belts round
the waist, which BY constructing the abdomen
throws the whole pressure Of the abdominal
contents upon the region Of the groins. The
male sex are far more liable to hernia than the
female. According to the statistic Of an emi.
nent French surgeon one man in thirteen, and
one woman 10 lfy-two are subject to rupture.

THE SYMPTOMS OF RUPTURE.

The symptoms Of rupture though varying
considerably according TO the position of the
sac, presents in all cases many points in com
mon. The tumor is elongated or rounded
broader at the top than at the body, usually
increasing In size il the patient stands up, holds
his breath, coughs, or makes much muscular
exertion, 1t can be pushed back into the ab.
domen on pressure, or goes back readily IL the
patient lies down, but reappeArs when be stands
up. On coughing, strong distinct impulse
may be felt in 1t. When the Rupture is alto
gether intestinal, II is usually smooth, gurg-
ling when pressed upon, and sometimes Civ.
ing out drumlike sound. 1t may be returned
into the abdomen with a distinct slip and .ur.
gle; it has a well marked impulse on coughing,
and Is usually accompanied by various dyspep-
tic symptoms, and often with a good deal Of
dragging uneasiness,

TREATMENT OF RUPTURE.

The only methods Of treatment adopted by
the Medical Faculty in effecting a cure Of rup-
ture - the use Of The truss or the knife. The best
medical works extant state that by the use Of
we'll constructed truss il sometimes happens
that the rupture Of infants become radically
cured, but the same result, however, seldom
occurs at more advanced period If life. In
regard to the use Of the knife, the danger is so
great, that the patient has but slight CT ance of
recovering after leaving the surgeons hands.
Sir Ashley Cooper, who was knighted for his
rare medical Attachments, states that out of II
cases Operated ON by him for rupture SO
proved fatal. From record kept by DIR. Tur-
ner, another eminent English physician, II ap-
pears that out OF 545 cases reported, 200 proved
fatal. Here wo have the confession Of the
shlest Medical talent that rupture In infants
may be cured by wearing a truss one ar t,ro
years but alta more advanced age the same re-
suit seldom occurs, and by the use Of the knife
the chances for life or death are about equal,
Truly may the sufferer from rupture ex-
Claim "ls there no Balm in Gilead, no hope
for permanent cure but the surgeons knife,

Hernia or Rupture.
It's Symptoms Cause & Cure.
DESCRIPTION OF RUPTURE.

III ERNIA, or asst is usually termed Rupture
means, In its widest sense, the displaee-
ment OF any organ Of the body from It's natural
cavity, and protruding through an abnormal
or accidental opening in the membrane OF
walls of such organ. The most common situa'
ton OF Rupture Is in the abdomen. II may
occur at almost any part of the abdominal
wall, but the protrusiOn generally occurs in
that portion where the muscular structures
are weakened. In whatever situation II oc.
ours Rupture is composed of n sac or bag and
its contents. Usually, the sac forms q perfect
Enclosure for the hernial contents, but coca.
sionally forms but partial investment Of them.
The body Of this sac varies greatly In size and
shape, generally glObular, sometimes elonga-
ted and cylindrical. 1t may vary from the
size Of cherry, to a tumor as large as the
head.
The contents OF the sac vary greatly, all the
interior portions Of the abdomen, except the
pancreas and stomach having been found in
hernial tumors. Most frequently part of the
small intestine, more particularly OF the long.
est portion is prOtruded, cons tituiiDg that form
Of rupture entitled sH'sroeeie. After portion
of the intestine has cnce descended, the pro-
truded part tends to increase in quantity, until
as in some large and old ruptures. the greater
portion has been known to lie in the sac,

OUR METHOD OF TREATMENT

The prniruding part must be brought into
is proper place, then supported by a suitable
bandage or truss, kept in its place until the
aperture In the membrane or wall through
which It escaped, Is thoroughly and wei! knit
together. This is our theory Of the true cure
OF rupture, and that u is correct, is substantial
ted by hundreds Of persons whom we have
cured, We are we'll aware of the prejudice
manifested by the Medical Faculty against any
form Of treatment for the permanent cure 81
rupture, which excludes the use Of the knife,
unfortunately too many sufferers from rupture
have imhibed the same feelings, and believe
they cannot be cured except by a surgical
operation, or obtain relief only bs wearing q
truss. To all such we would say that we are
willing and ready 10 enter into Q

THE ONLY RELIABLE CURE FOR
RUPTURE IN THE WORLD.

The only true way to cure Rupture Is BY re-
ducing the tumor, replacing or compressing
the intestine or organ protrudinr into lis pro-
per place, and while In this position to cause
an adhesion Of the broken edges of the mem
brane through which the organ protruded.
But how Is this to be accomplished ! asks The
