TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
The following treatment which has been EN-
Moved by me since the winter of 1S62-'63
with uniform success in all cases where th'
treatment has been instituted within twenty
four hours after the development of the prom
inent symptoms In the first place discard
all ideas of this disease being an inaammatorJ
affection of the brain and spinal chord, satur
ate a flannel (folded several times) with splr
its ofturpentine. Apply this along the whole
course of the spine, pass over this, after the
ordinary mode of ironing, common sad OF
smoothing iron well heated. Continue tn:
for ten or fifteen minutes until you have vel
stimulated the spine In the meantime give
quinine in heroic doses, to be repeated every
two or three hours until all symptoms are
overcome. Follow each dose OF quinlne with
a heroic dose of bromide of potassium com
bined in solution with an ordinary dose Of
solid extract Hyoscyamus. The object OF the
bromide is to control reflex action, and the
doses should be regulated according to the
head and spinal symptoms, as this Is depen
dent on eiectro-monic changes in the perlphe
ry of the nerves; from this action or the mo-
dus operandi Of the quinine and bromide will
be readily understood by the Intelligent phiy'
sicians; under no circumstances use ny
blister or opiates in the outset of this disease
avoid all cold applications to head and spine
When constipation exists, which is general
ly the case, use large doses Of calomel every
three hours until the bowels act freely. Phy'
sicians can rely on this treatment when lnstl'
tuted in time. J.J. KNOTT, NJ. D.
Origin of the Credit Mobilier.
- Mr.. Smith, member of the Pennsyl'
vania Constitutional Convention, in recent
speech, gave the following account Of this ta'
nous corporation:
The charter which has produced so much
excitement within short time has this origin
A distinguished Democrat of this Common
wealth, a gentleman who had been the clerk
of both houses of the Legislature, met Duff
Green on one occasion, and that gentleman
was, as usual, full of speculative theories.
The project he had then on hand happened to
be the creation in this country of an organiza-
ton similar to the Credit Mobilier that exist
ed in France.
The gentleman to whom allude took the
matter up, framed Bill and had it passed
by the Pennsylvania Legislature before the
Pacific Rail Road was barely conceived OF.
A company was organized in this city, and
each of the directors then elected was voted
thirty shares of paid-up stock (they being "on
the ground foor'') at one thousand dollars a
share. Subsequently, at another meeting, the
name of the corporation was changed to the
Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency, but nothing was
ever done by the organization. The charter,
the stock book and the papers were stolen
and bodily carried off to New York, where
the Credit Mobiler Company was organized,
with the character whichit has since assumed
the name adopted here being changed and the
original title assumed.
After the organization in New York a
question arose as to its paid-up stock, and a
party, sent to Philadelphia for the purpose.

members. The gentleman who was the au.
thor of the Bill received for thirty shares OF
stock s27O. Upon calculation afterward he
found that these shares, if he had held on to
them, would have been worth to him one mil
lion one hundred thousand dollars.
The literal meaning Of the term Credit Mo-
bilier is movable credits and as an offset to
the Investigations now before Congress of the
swindles of the corporation, we are promised
that as soon as this subject is exhausted the
palate of the nation is is to be tickled by the
revelations of the Credit Foncier, which is
another name for landed credits or securities
in real estate. The notorious George Francis
Train was the first to introduce this latter
scheme in this country from France. 1t is
thought that ventilation of its operations in
connection with the public lands jobs, which
have been lobbied through Congress during
the past fifteen years, will exhibit some start
ling revelations. Verify, the lines have not
fallen in pleasant places in regard to Con-
gressmen.
