Milk as Medicine,

The London MU Journal says, on the
authority Of DR.. Benjamin Clarke, that in
the East Indies warm milk Is used TO q
great extent as specific for diarrhea. A
pint every four hours will check the most
violent diarrhea, stomach.ache, inciplent
cholera, and dYsentery. The milk should
never be boiled, but only heated sufficient
ly To be agreeably warm, not too hot to
drink. Mix when boiled IS unfit for use.
This writer gives several instances 10
show the value Of this substance in ar
resting this disease, among which Is the
following. The writer says: ut has
never failed in curing in elk or twelve
hours, and l have tried It, should think,
fifty times. l have also given 1t TO dying
man who had been subject to dysentery
eight months, latterly accompanied by
one continual diarrhea, and Il acted on
him like charm, In two days his diar-
rhea was gone, in three weeks be became
0 hale, fat man, and now nothing that
may hereafter occur will ever shake
his faith in hot milk. A writer
also communicates to- the Medical
Times and Gazette O statement OF the
value Of milk In twenty.six cases of ty-
phoid fever, In every one Of which It's
great value was apparent. II checks
diarrhea, and nourishes and coolS the
body. People suffering from disease re-
uuire food quite as much a. those In
health, aud much more so In certain
diseases where there Is rapid waste oil the
system. Frequently all ordinary food In
certain diseases Is rejected by the stom-
ache, and even loathed by the patient, but
nature, ever benefcent, has furnished q
food that In all diseases Is bene6ciRl-in
some directly curative. Such food Is
milk. The writer Ia the journal last
quoted, DR.. Alexander Yale, after giving
particular observations upon the points
above mentioned, viz: its action In check.
ing diarrhea, It's nourishing properties,
and lie action in cooling the body, says:
ave believe that milk nourishes in fever,
promotes sleep, wards of dellrium, soolhes
the intestines, and, in fine, 10 the sine qua
mn In typhoid fever" We have also laie-
ly tested the value Of milk in scarlet iG.
yer, and learn that II is now recommend
ed by the medical faculty in all cases Of
this often very distressing children's dis
ease. Give all tho milk the patients will
take, even during tho period oil greatest
fever; 1t keeps up the strength Of the pa.
tient; acts well upon the stomach, and Is
In every way blessed thing In this sick
ness.

A GIGANTIC CoNTRACT-The grea

the fortune Of Baron Reuter-, who hal
made with the Shah Of Persia perhaps
the most extraordinary bargain known
to the history Of modern trade. lie has
secured the exclusive right 10 construct,
operate and manage all future railways
telegraphs, water works, canals, mines
and every other sort Of public work
throughout the kingdom Of Persia; and
the legal consideration of this bargain is
that he shall pay to the government q
comparatively small percentage OF the
net profits actually received from these
various enterprises. Such a concession
ought TO enable Baron Reuter- to easily
surpRss in his achievements the ILLUSIONS,
PetOs. Fisks, Scots and NaD1erbilLs Of
our day-to be king OF railway kings
and towering giant even among mod
ern operators, tlnanciers and contractors,
The region which he is TO fit out
with "all the modern Improvements" is
not much smaller than our whole tier OF
Northern Suites lying east Of the Dlississ-
ippi. His bargain Is made with q SoVer-
Cign who is eager for material progress
and for the march OF science in his do
mains, who astounds even European
monarchs by the evidences ofhis personal
wealth, and whose treasures are as enor.

sian government may render the full
benefit Of this contract somewhat uncer-
tain; but probably there Is not so much

These papers were found by men whose

read and their contents reported to US BY
men of tho same character, and we pub
lished these contents as We received them,
and we doubt not their correctness. De-
'nounCing the report Of them as false IS
simply the argument Of a blackguard,
We further assert that papers were found
which had been blown by the. wind from
Judge Hoffman 3 office, and which we learn
he was very anxious 10 recover, and the
contents Of these papers have been discuss

He need not try 10 screen himself behind
his Judicial dignity, for he has already

Democratic editors and showing them

we do In regard TO The mailer, and will
not believe otherwise until they have
