AFTER Judge Morris had clio

AFTER Judge Morris had closed
his two and half days merciless
speech against Beecher the latter
approached him saying, "Judge
Morris, allow me to present my
self" and :hen made a ocular re-
mark about lawyers preaching long
sermons. The Judge received him
c6ldly. We begin to think from
the opening of the case that Beech-
or has been too resdy to present
himself to Mrs. Tiltou!.

treatment Of niplnerin

For the benefit of the LEDGER readers
and owing to The prevalence of %diptheria,
colds in the head and chest, we give the
treatment for such diseases which was so
successfully pracliced by the late Dr.. j..
j. Williams Of this city:
If the bowels are constipated, as is
sometimes the case, begin the treatment
by unloading with one enema, or if there
is any special bilious arrangement or
sickness Of stomach, move with a gentle
mercurial purge. Ia a few hours after
the mercurial is taken, say four or six
hours, begin with the following recipe:
Chlorate Of potas.a, 40 grains.
Hydrochloric acid, fluid, 2 drachms.
Water, s ounces.
Pulverize the salt, pour on the acid,
and while in effervescence stir in the
water-keep wrapped well, or in a dark
place. OF this take a ieaspooniul every
four hours in sweetened water, and the
alternate four hours take a tablespoonful
of a saturated solution OF the chlorate OF
potassa; or, if the case is very urgent,
this may be given mixed with the ecid
and the alternate four hours too. For
the local affection a gargle of strong
pepper tea, salt and vinegar should be
used frequently, and once or twice a day,
or ofteaer If the case is very urgent, the
tonsils aud fauces should be sponged
well with the foregoing acid solution with
the addition Of thirty drops of muriatic
acid to the ounce. This should be ap-
piled more or less often to the afflicted
parts as long as any Of the white spots
or membranous exudations continue.
And, inasuuch as this disease is very
rapidly %exhausting, and the fever is one
Of a purely irritatiye character, the re-
suit of the profound poisoning Of the
blood, it is indispensable that the
strength of the patient should be hus-
banded and promoted as much as posi-
bic by stimnlants and generous diet, and
in order to secure this end with absolute
certainty | give after each dose of
medicine very free drspghis of spirits,
and generally in the shape Of a milk or
egg dram. If4be milk or egg be objected
to, give the spirits alone, aud as often
as three or four hours give freely
Of beef or chicken soup, oysters, soft
boiled eggs, mRttau, ete.
All this powerful stimalant course
should be adopted and persevered in, re-
gardless of the most intense fever.
Headache is no contra indication TO
their use, but this, with all the phenom-
ena OF the fever, will be speedily allayed
thereby. With this conservative course
in view, it will be readily inferred that
b~ligteFs, excessige purgipg or any draiH
whatever from the SYSTEM should be-
avoided. Indeed, to avoid blisteTing is
vital.
The alternative course should be per
severed in for several days after all dis
appearance Of the disease, as it is very
liable to r~e-deyelop itself if the remedies
are left Off too soon,
