GLEANINGs FROM EXCHANGES.

The San Francisco Call OF June % re-
lates this case Of horror, which If proved
true will excite great interest: 1t is said
that flew days ago a gentleman called
upon a physician in this city, complain
ing that his throat and the interior of his
mouth had broken out in sores. The
physician pronounced the ulcers the first
stage in a very losthsome disease, and
which is really incurable when it has
once entered the system. The gentle
man at first had been Of the opinion that
smoking to excess had caused the irrita-
ton in his throat; but he had stopped
smoking, and the disease, though 1t
abated for a time, returned with vlrulence.
He could give no apparently adequate
explanation of how he contracted the
malady. The doctor inquired where he
bought his cigars, and was informed they
were purchased at Chinese firm on Clay
street. A visit to the mandatory was
paid by the doctor and his patient, and
permission being granted to witness the
process of manufacture, an opportunity
was afforded of inspecting the coolie OPP
eratives. Their horror was extreme on
discovering Chinaman busily employed
in rolling cigars, whose eruptive appear
ance showed plainly that he was victim
to the loathsome disease in Its worst
stages. The man was averse to exposing
his condition, but. when the doctor had
resolved all doubt as to the nature OF ul-
GERS ON his hands, he seized one Of them
and made minute examination, which
confirmed his opinion. Other Cinnamon
in the same shop were found to be al
| fected to less extent with the same DIS
ease. With these facts within his knowl-
edge. the physician had no difficulty in
fastening upon the cigars purchased from
this firm the cause of the patients COM
plant. II the story be true-we have
had no opportunity yet to investigate 1t
it is not improbable that among the
5000 Chinese who manufacture cigars In
this city, there are others infected with
this terrible disease, and cigar smokers
cannot be too careful in making Their
purchases.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New Iorl
World, writing from Sitka, states that
