This cause. together with the less active life of
cities and the constraiLt of many of its pur-
suits, makes the number of deaths from con-

country This disease is more prevalent
among the poor than the rich for extreme

dyscrasia."
The exciting causes are the imaammatory
thoracc diseases, pneumonia, pleurisy, and
bronchitis, as we'll as throat diseases, though
many deny the agency of bronchitis in pro-
ducing phthisis. Extremes and fluctuations
of climate have much to do with the preva-
lence of phthisis. DIR. Hudson thinks this DIS
ease may be in great measure prevented by a
system of public hygiene, and by constant care
of those who are predisposed to it. 1.-The ar
rest of phthisis, when possible, will be chleny
by three agencies: l. Food, including those
articles which are most highly nutritlve' anu
those remedies which conduce to its thorough
assimilation. g Chest-EXpanSion, as means
of fortifying the lungs against renewed intam-

most curative of all remedies for phthlsis.

The latest work of Mr.. Locke will not add to
his reputation 1t is intended for satire on
the folles of the day, and though some of the
hits are sharp aud amusing enough the book as
a whole is dreary. Western slang is certainly
not improved when served up in Eastern
