During the first half Of the last year eight
hundred persons in New York were attacked by
= singular form of disease, and Of the number
six hundred died. Physicians call this disorder
cerebrO-spinal meningitis, which being interpret
el means an Inflammation Of the membranes ell
veloping the brain and spinal cord. Throughout
the Northwestern States it is popularity known
spotted fever, in the Sonth - the cold plague,
in Europe by various technical and local names,
and in all countries n one Of the most deadly At
fections to which mankind is subject. 1t fire.
quently, rs in the present instance appears in the
form Of epidemic, aud its history ia, that these
visitztions are liable to recur after longer or
shorter intervals. Like epidemic diseases in gen
eral, it is NO doubt largely preventable, and the
wonder is that with the extraordinary fatality
which has always attended it, there has never
been any united public demand for the investiga-
ton Of its causes, or the means of staying its
spread. But in spite Of the astonishing indiffer-
ence ON the part Of those who are most directly
interested, physicians have obtained some imPor-
tant facts which link the origin of the difficulty
with overcrowdcd houses and the prevalence Of
filth, conditions which at all times are to COM
mon in cities and towns, but which, with stupid
blindness to his own best interests man is forever
tOlerating. The evidence that cases of this dis
originate, partly at least, through the opera
ton Of causes that lie within our reach, though
not full as could be wished, is still very con-
vincing.-Galary.

CuPi~ua Fact.

By simple experiment, it is easy to discover
to what animal any kind of blood or spots
of bloed belong. The process is as follows: Put
few drops Of blend, or the serum Of blood, into
glass; add concentrated sulphuric acid, To the
amount of One-thrd One-half the quantity Of
blood, and stir the whole together with glass
rod by this means the Odoriferous principle Pc
culiar to the species of animal to which the blood
belonged, is evolved thus, for instance, the
blood of man discharges strong odor Of the
perspiraton of man, which it is impossible to COLI
found with any other; that Of a woman q similar
odor, but much weaker; that of sheep the we'll
known smell Of greasy wool; Of q pig, the disa-
greeabls odor of . piggery; and so on. Even the
blood Of frog has given ont the peculiar smell
of marshy reeds, and that of . carp the peculiar
smell of q fresh water fish. Upon trials made to
ascertain whether spots of blood cenld be distin-
guished and referred to their source it was fOund
that to a certain extent pretty sure Judgment
can he given even after fifteen days. The spot
ted linen is to be cut ont, put into watch glass,
and, being mostened with little water, left for
short time at rest, and well soaked; little
sulphuric acid is to be added and stirred about
with glass rod, the peculiar Otlor will then b-
recognized; but this experiment should be per-
formed without delay, for after q fortnight the
0klOr is scarcely perceptible.
