The Chicago Inter Ocean prints a letter

Commanded. We quote "June IL, 1861.

TEA A POISON.

The Journal Of chemistry asserts that
Tea is not the simple harmless beverage
that it is generally supposed to be; but
that its effects, in their character, may
rightly claim to be classcd with those Of
tobacco aud alcohol. The Journal of
Chemistry adds :-"Many disorders Of
the nervous system are the direct result
of extensive tea.bibbing. Tea is mar
cotic poison its essential principal theme,
is allied in composition and properties
with strychnine and morphine. It first
excites the nervous system and then ex'
hausts it. Experiments show that both
in man and other animals, it impairs
power in the lower extremities; so that it
effects the understanding in a double
sense, Utterly as we'll as figuratively. 1t

been considered, but powerful agent,
whose effects are often serious.''

ORIGIN OF HOG CHOLERA.

WIltcE III tlc aIIOuS AA04pcl VI
Iowa, traces the cause Of hog cholera to
close confinement and especially to the
practice Of ringing pigs to prevent them
roofing the soil. His argument is GER
tainly plausible and the theory interest
ing. We quote:
Let US watch our hogs in their ample
pasture.l Some are browsing the heritage,
some are destroying it by extracting the
roots. Others are-what are they doing?
They are roofing into the woody hill
side; into that hard, calcareous soil. The
cracking sound indicates that they are
eating the clay with the limestone peb'
pies. What can this be for? Well, we
cannot tell. We know it is fact. 1t
may effect something: chemically; but
We sometimes doubt that, it being too
crude to enter into the animal economy.
Perhaps its effect is mainly mechanical.
The poor pig has no right that man or
dog is bound to respect, outside of his
pen; may be one or two acres; frequently
much less. IfMrs. Piggy goes with her
numerous progeny. Everything goes
we'll for while. They eat the grass
and turn over the soil and thrive. The
owner improves his herd by an infusion
Of Chester White, Poland China or Berk-
shire blood. He is we'll satisfied with the
profits of the investments.
Anon! q change has come in the condi-
ton Of things. The surface soil is now all
rolled over. The desirable properties are
exhausted or befouled with droppings.
The pigs endeaver to dig deeper but the
filthy mass falls to the bottom; and soo:l
it is said the pigs are not doing we'll.
The owner changes their food gives
them sulphur and antimony and what
not. He concludes they look little bet
ter, but they don't do we'll yet. In fact,
he signs for the "good old Elm Peelers
and Prairie rooters.' 1t does not stop
here. The pigs are constipated, dyspep.
tic and NANCY. Their blood is out of
order, and ulcers are found on some so as
to cause portions of the flesh to slough
off. In fact they have got the cholera.
No wonder. Had the proprietor made a
vegetable garden or corn field of his
hog lot year or two ago, and furnished
his hogs with another pasture, his inn
proved hogs would have improved, the
strength and vigor OF his herd, and also
the condition of his finances.

BLACK TOOTH IN SWINE.

The American Swine Journal says
Black tooth, so called. in swine, is some.
times caused by mechanical injury to
teeth, received by chewing the dry and
hard kernels 1f corn. The ailment con-
sists in state of decay of the tooth
(carics): Such decayed teeth may be re-
moved by the same instrument as den.
fist would apply to ones tooth under
similar circumstances, The symptoms of
toothache in swine are similar to those
exhibited by mankind, viz loss Of appe-
tite. salvation or SOLDERING, hanging the
head. mostly to the side which affected,
pcevishness, loss of all fear of man, and
hot, repulsive breath. When hogs are
fed on strongly calculated food for any
length Of time, their teeth may become
discolored; but it is question whether
the teeth at the same time arc materially
injured. So long as no decay or dimina-
alton of their substance can be noticed,
and while the appetite ana chewing fac
ulties of the animal do not appear d.
minished no interference will be neces-
sary.

REMEDY FOR DYSPEPSIA.

A writer in the Medical Journal, dis
coursing on dyspepsia says We have
seen dyspeptics who suffered untold tor
ments almost every kind Of food. Bread
became burning acid. Meat and milk
were solid and liquid fires. Wehave seen
these same sufferers trying to avoid food
and drink, and even going to the enema
spring for sus:enance. And we have
seen the torrents pass away and their
hunger relieved by living upon the white
of eggs, which have been boiled in bub-
bling water for thirty minutes. At the
end of week, we have given the half
yolk of the egg with the white, and upon
this diet alone without fluid Of any kind,
We have seen them gain strength and
flesh, and refreshing sleep.
After weeks of this treatment they
have been able, with care, to begin on
other food; and all this the writer adds,
without taking medicine. He says that
hard boiled eggs are not half as bad as
half boiled ones, and ten times Is easy to
digest as raw eggs, even in egg-nog.
