COuxresSalaen'S Convention.


The western members Of Congress
are invited 20 meet at St. Louis, in q
few days fox the alleged purpose Of tax
ing measures calculated to result in
cheapen;ag the rate Of carrying between
the We4, and the Fast, and South.
Ii there is one great abuse at the present
.ime-eoc, in comparison with which
::a Others seem to be blessings-it is
.':at which IS practiced by 6 carriers"
Aut We confess that We have very little
faith in any visiting excursion as
means Of eradicating 80 great IN evil.
What can Congressman learn ut St.
Louis that they do not already know,
about cheap transportation? Their ex.
pericnce, will, no doubt, be enlarged by
an additional "free ride" but, beyond
that, and the "freedom Of the city,
which means carte blanche for every
thing-they can acquire no information
which they need, to mako themselves
useful representatives Of the great pro-
duetive energies which they were elect
ed to foster and defend.
We consider this visiting excursion
= ruse, adopted by moncpolists to
draw the representatives Of the people
away from home, and contact with
influences being generated in the inter.
csts Of labor. 1t is the old dodge :;
some additional stuling is to be done,
and the cry Of " stop thief" is raised in
advance. It looks to US like a sham.

Milk as n Remedy.

Considerable has been lately said in medical
journals concerning the value Of milk as a RENE
dial agent in certain diseases:
An interesting article on this subject
lately appeared in the London Wi2k Jour
nal, in which it is stated on the authority
OF Dr.. BENZ. CLARKE that in the East
Indies warm milk is used to a great extent
as a specific for diarrhcei. A pint every
four hours will check the most violent di-
arrhen, stomach ache, incipient cholera
aud dysentery. The milk should never be
boiled, but only heated sufficiently to be
agreeably warm, not too hot to drink. Milk
which has been boiled is unfit for use. This
writer gives several instances to show the
value of this simple substance in arresting
this disease, among which is the following:
The writer says, 1T has never failed in Gu
ring IN six or twelve hours, and | have
tried it, L should think, Fifty times. |
have also given it to a dy ing man who had
been subject TO dysentery eight months,
latterly accompanied by one continual diar-
rhGa and it acted on him like a charm. 10
two days his diarrbea was gone, iu three
weeks he became bale, fat nan, aud now
nothing that may hereafter occur will ever
shake his faith in hot milk A writer also
communicates to the Medical Times and
Gazette statement Of the value Of milk in
twenty-six cases of typhoid fever, in every
one OF which its great value was apparent.
1t checks diarrhea, and nourishes and coos
the body. People suffering from disease
require food quite as much as those in
health and much more so in certain dis
cases where there is rapid waste of the
system. Frequently all ordinary food in
certain diseases is rejected by the stomach,
and even loathed by the patient, but nature
ever beneGcent, has furnished food that
in all diseases is benefcial-in some direct
ly curative. Such food is milk. The
writer in the journal last quoted, DR.. ALEX
AMBER YALE, after giving particular OBJ
servations upon the points above mention
ed viz: its action in checking dari boa,
Its nourishing properties, and its action III
cooling the body, Gays: 'We believe that
milk nourishes in fever, promotes sleep,
wards off delirium, soothes the iutesiincs,
and, in fine, is the sine qua non in typhoid
fever We have also lately tested the
value Of milk in scarlet fever, and learn
that it is now recommended by the medical
faculty 10 all cases of this often very dis
tressing CHI dren's disease
