Treatment of Scarlatina.

A STRONG article in favor of the wet
sheet in scarlatina appears in the London
Lancet from the pen of DR.. John Taylor,
of Liverpool. His plan, which appears to
be al least thorough one, is to immerse
nightgown, slit up at the front, in half a
pint to pint of hot water, pure or medi-
Gated with a dram or two drains of tincture
capsicum, or in the infusion of three or
four pods, or in mustard water, the clear,
supernatant fluid from tablespoonful OF
mustard to pint of water; extending the
gown over the feet by means of towel
immersed in the same fluid-both to be
we'll wrung out and suddenly applied, and
the patient quickly packed in two blankets
previously placed on the adjoining sofa or
bed, another blanket or two pillows cover
ing all. DR.. Taylor speaks enthusiastlcal-
ly of the amazing relief procurable from
the wet sheet, in its simple form, in py-
rexial and glandular disorders, and, from
the medicated form, in zymotic and spas
modic affections; as potential also in diph-
iberia, Stimulating Group, and, in strong
doses, in indammatory Group.

The Strange Disease.

LIKE the thief at night, it steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes in
the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the
morning, A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is feeling like heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes faint, allgone sensa-
ton at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. Afte awhile a cough sets in, at first
dry, but after few months it is attended
with greenish-colored expectoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not appear to afford any rest. After
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is
a giddiness, sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costive, the skin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant, the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and
high-colored, depositing sediment after
standing. There is frequently splitting up
of the food, sometimes with sour taste
and sometimes a swedish taste. This is
frequently attended with palpitation of the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There is feeling of
great prostration and weakness. All of
these symptoms do not make their appear
ance at one time, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some of its varied
forms. 1t has been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, Others for kidney dis

kinds of treatment have been attended with

A Chinaman's Funeral in Chicago.

Du Long has the honor of being the
first defunct Chinaman that ever started to
meet JOSS from Chicago. Seventy-fve of
his countrymen were speedily apprised of
the solemn event, and the basement was
thronged with the friends of poor Du
Long, who deserted their wash boards and
flat-irons to perform the last duty of re-
speet according to the burial rites of their
religion and the custom of their country.
The time when he breathed his last was
accurately noted. His lifeless form was
then arrayed in his best sack and trousers,
his hat was placed upon his head, and the
late Du Long was lifted to sitting pos
ture in chair. On either side of him a
Chinaman seated himself dressed in black
sacks of mourning, stolidly smoking their
pipes in silence. In front of the body was
placed plate containing plenty of rice
and a cigar, a simple and superstitious
offering to the dead, Indicating the will
ingncss of his friends to minister material
comfort if needed. In this position was
the body kept exactly twelve hours, a
number of the Celestials taking turns in
watching byhis side. This ceremony &C
cordingly lasted until Sunday noon. A
large number of square bits of wood were
then laid upon the floor at intervals of an
inch or SO, and upon them the body was
laid Candles were placed about the body
and were kept constantly burning, while
the atmosphere of the basement was fire.
quently perfumed with incense. Several
friends still surrounded the corpse, and
this ceremony was continued until noon
Yesterday. The crowd of Chinese resi-
dents again gathered at the house of the
dead and sat down on the floor and on

all smoking poor tobacco, which they
pulled vigorously, nearly suffocating them
selves in the dense volume of smoke. The
old clothes of the deceased were collected
and burned, in expectation that they
would materialize and be ready for Du
Longs use as he went on his way to the
spirit land.
About two o'clock in the afternoon the
corpse was placed in a plain coffin of the
usual style of manufacture, ami then
professions, consisting of hearse and
half dozen carriages, took up its line of
march for Graceland Cemetery. After the
coffin had been lowered into the grave
several pounds of rice and some cigars
were placed en- the coffin, and the earth
was then put back into the grave. Pipes
were then lighted, and the friends who
surrounded the grave INDUCED in another
silent smoke. The old hat which Du
Long had worn in the days of his
strength was meantime placed upon the
grave, and under it a little heap of CON-
bustibles. The hat was reduced to ashes,
and the burial ceremony of the deceased
Chinaman was at an end. The funeral
party returned home, and last evening the
industrious Cinnamon of Chicago were
bending over their slippery wash boards
and trying their best to make up for lost
time.-C Chicago Times.
