Interesting Local StatIstIcs.

We have before US the Transactions
OF the Medical Society Of the State oi
West Virginia" for tho year 1876, a
pamphlet Of l23 pages, Just issued from
the INTELLI0EScER job printing estab.
lishment. 1t contains several papers
that, we doubt not, will be Of interest to
the medical profession Of the State, and,
perhaps, some that will attract attention
elsewhere. DR.. E. A. Hildrelb is the
author Of paper that is Of special local
interest to the people Of Wheeling, part
OF which We published when 1t was read
before the Society at its last meeting, viz !:
a sketch OF the history Of medicine and Of
deceased physicians Of Wheeling for the
last hundred years. It closes with: an
abstract Of the mstsorolOsy Of Wheeling
for the last twenty.thres years. DR.. Hill.
dreth has preserved a daily record Of the
temperature, rainfall and variations Of
weather for most Of this period. From
his statistics we learn that the average
annual temperature at Wheeling for the
time named has been 5205. The highest
temperature was in 1850, viz, 5So.75 and
the loWest in 1856, viz, 1880. The
monthly means during these twenty. three

The highest temperature observed
throughout the period named was 1929
and lowest lj0.
The prevailing winds in the order OF
their frequency are southwest and south,
nearly one.half the year; northwest, one.
third; west, about one-twelith. The
southwest is moist wind, ranging from
.75O to 1000 Of MaSon's Hygrometer; il
induces Il sense Of languor and malai,e,
and is one OF the exciting causes OF rheu.

In note appended to the above table
Of mortality DR.. Hildreih makes the
following observation.
"Being desirous to compile an authentic
statement Of our death rate, have
purpOsely omitted several years the, data
for which we're uncertain.
| think the above ratios may be studied
with profit, especially il 1t should lead
our civil authorities and legislatures to
the enactment and execution OF such
sanitary and hygieHic lars aain other cities
have greatly reduced the death rate.
"An ounce OF prevention is worth u
pound ofcure."
As we remarked at the outset, there
are several other interesting papers in
the Medical sOciety's published transac.
tions. We notice one by DR.. Frissell
that deals r heavy and, no doubt, a
deserved blow at quackery in the treat
ment Of Cancers, a species Of quackery
that is only too common throughout the
country, and that often involves the most
irremcdiable consequences to the victims.
After detailing the particulars of s case
that came under his notice, in which
death resulted after frightiul course Of
treatment, DR.. Frissell concludes his
paper aS follows:
There is feeling with many out Of
the profession, and with some few OF the

cialty. There could DO no greater mis-.

The Wheeling INTELLIGENCER goes
back twenty and forty years to prove that
there were hard times under Democratic
rule, We are not aware that such fact
have ever been disputed, and fail 10 zee
why they should relieve the Republican
party from the odium Of having caused
the present great distress throughout the
country.--StsubtnviLis Gazette.
While said facts may not have been dis
puted by the Gassas they have been
sludiously kept in the back ground, the
manifest intent being to hold out the ideH
that the present hard times have come
upon the country in consequence Of Re.
publican abuses. The point we make is
that panicS come upon the country peri.
odically, and that they last for years, and
ecited the speech Of senstor Thurman,
high Democratic authority, made in the
United States Senate in January 1875, to
prove that pGnics come rs the natural
climax Of Over.trading, just /" disease
follows riotous living, and that the
remedy, as in the restoration TO health,
is always slow and painful.
Panics come in all countries, and st
this time are breeding over Europe.
They have visited this country as often
under Democratic rule as under any
other, and It is pure and unmitigated
demagoguery to keep this fact concealed
at the expense Of the Republican party
when discussing the present bn.iness sit.
