The vegetative powers Of life are strong, but In
few years how often the pallid hue, the LACK us'
tire eye, and emacIated form, show their baneful
influence. 1t soon becomes evident to the observ.
er that some depressing influence Is checking the
development OF the body. Consumption istalked
Of, and perhaps the youth is removed from school
and sent into the country. This Is one OF the
worst movements. Removed from ordinary di.
versions OF the ever-changing scenes Of the city,
the powers OF the body, too mnch enfeeblea to
give zess to healthu and rural exercise, thoughie
are turned nwardly upon themselves.
II the patient be female the approach OF the
menses Is looked for with anxiety as the first
symptom In which nature Is to show her saving
power In dilrusng the circulation and visiting the
cheek with the bloom Of health. Alas increase
OF appetite has grown by what it fed on. The
energies OF the system are prostrated t' The
whole economy Is deranged. The beautiful and
wonderful period in which body and mind under

Is looked for in vain. The PARENTS heart beeds
In anxiety, and fancics the grave but waiting for

HYDRATE OF CHLoRAL.-The hydrate of
chloral, which in 1860 cost eighty dollars a
pound, so that each sleep produced by it
could be reckoned at one dollar, is now adver-
tised on the list of German chemical factory
at about two dollars pound. Such an enor-
nous reduction in the price of chemical
product in so short time has rarely occurred.
Perhaps the only parallel case is metallic So
dium, which few years ago,could not be had
for two hundred dollars apound, but can now
be made for seventy-fve cents. According 10
Dr. Richardson, the secret use of choral i'm
England has become so great that the victims
must be put in the same class as the opium
eaters. In proof of the enormous consnmp-
tion, he states that during the last year and a
half, four dealers have sold forty tons, suffi-
clent to give narcotic doses to 36,00O,O0O peo-
ple-in other words, every person in England
conld have had one good sound sleep out of
the amount sold. In reference to the qnari-
mum dose that it would be safe to take, DIR.
Richardson puts the amount at one hundred
and twenty grains; he regards one hundred
and eighty grains as likely to prove fatal. He
also warns against the gradual increase of the
dose,as its effect upon the organism is Just the
opposite of the opium, the system, in fact, be-
coming mere sensitive the longer it is used.
