OUR MEDICAL DEPARTMENT

CHEMICAL CHANGES OF THE BLOOD AND
AIR-Thc blood is purified by contact with
the oxygen of the air in the lungs. About
one-fifth of the atmospheric air is oxygen
when inhaled the breath exhaled from the
lungs is almost devoid of oxygen, and its
place supplied by carbonic acid gas. This
gas is formed by the union of oxygen
from the air and carbon from the blood. The
venous blood, charged heavily with carbon,
which gives it its dark red color, is conveyed
to the lungs and brought into contact with
air in the air cells, forming a fine network /;
the air fills the cells, the blood on the out
side q them in the minute capillaries, the
walls Of which are so very thin and porous
that the oxygen escapes from the air, burns
up the carbon, sets free the carbonic acid,
which escapes from the cells, takes the place
Of oxygen in the air, and is exhaled with it
from the lungs. In these changes the blood
becomes oxygenized and the air carbonized !;
the blood becomes pure, the air impure.
This process goes on constantly with every
breath, day or night, sleeping or awake,
during life. The visible effect of this change
upon the blood is that it is changed from
dark red to bright crimson color This is
produced ny the removing OF the carbon
(which is black in color and replacing it
with oxygen, which, uniting with trace of
iron in the blood, produces the crimson hue
distinguishing arteIial blood
The red globules of the blood are largely
composed If iron, as has been abundantly
proven by chemical analysis, and being COM
bined with Oxygen become, to an extent
that determines the color at least, ''red OK
ide' of iron.
In mountainous regions, and especially in
Colorado, there is an excess of oxygen in the
air, and also form of oxygen always def
cient in malarial districts, viz ''Ozone," an
electnal form of oxygen, the best disinfect-
ant in nature, purifying everything with
which it comes in contact. There is nothing
known to chemistry that equals ozone as q
purifier Of foul air, putrid meat or impure
blood, like this remedy of nature, when ap-
piled in natures way.

Mr.. GEORGE ODGER, one OF the leaders in

London, England, on the 10th of March.
Over 20 900 people were IN the funeral
procession, 10000 If which represented

Among the notables as pail bearers were

Prof. Beesiey after the remains we're low

an address on the hfe's labors Of Mr. Geo
Odger 1t must be fresh in the minds Of
our readers, the prominent part Mr. Odger
took in the Reform movement Of 1867
that extended the voting franchise Of the
people. Manhood suffrage was the idol Of
his heart, and rapid strides we're made in
that direction through his labor. A self
made and self-educated man in every re
spect, from poverty and ohscurity, he
attained prominence in England IN pop
ular measures, second to none He was
respected and kindly treated by the ablest
and most influential men in the Kingdom;
all admired him for his ability, his honesty
and integrity. When he ran for Parlia-
ment in the Chelsea district he was defeat
ed. Men misunderstood him, he had not
learned the art Of toayding for votes that
all professional politicians in all countries
so well understand. He announced him
self as an Independent candidate, spoke q
number of times from the hastings. Voters
said he was too Independent; he did not 90
and see them. The remark of a Working
man who attended the funeral re echoes
the fine feelings Of the people in that
country; said he when the coffin was low
cred. There goes the best of u.s." Eng

" The Centennial Bible.

We learn that a new Centennial edi-
ton" Of the Coed Book has been recently
issued 10y firm at indianapolis, Indiana,
IT, L. Horton x Coz which combines the
most and best helps to the study Of the
Bible of any edition extant, in the way Of
fine notes annotations, Bible dictionaries,
concordance, history, geography, and
geology Of the Bible, many tables very
valuable to Bible readers and Bible stu
dents Maps from the very latest surveys;
history Of all the Christian denominations
from their origin to date, compiled from
their own standpoint and from their own
publications; all the latest discoveries de-
signed to throw light on the authenticity
and value of the scrir lures. The whole
work throughout is admirably illustrated
with full page steel plates, taken from
paintings by some of the old masters, in
Guiding Raphael Guido and Canova; also,
the leading artists Of the present day, en-
eraved in limo by irst-class engravers.
The books mentioned are all contained
under one cover and aside from the Bible
proper, are illustrated with hundreds Of
appropriate engravings. The size of the
volume (or one might say library Of Bibil-
zeal literature) is large quarto, and the
prices range from - 70 $50, according to
the style Of the binding, quality Of paper,
contents, etc. The famous ohm Brown
Commentary to the Bible, psalms in metre,
with commentary to each, an analysis,
family record, photograph album, etc, are
only few Of the many features contained
in this fine line 1t is issued in the Eng
lish and German languages, and some Of
the bindings seen by us are superb. We
are informed that the publishers intend to
distribute this very valuable edition of the
Bible entirely by subscription, in all parts
Of the United States. We bid them God
speed in their efforts to spread the " Good

TROUBLE AT BRAIDWooD.

Trouble has again broken out in Braid
wood between the coal companies and their
employees, owing 70 proposed reduction
Of % cents per ton. The NAL spirit
IN this movement, as IN all similar in
stances which have preceded it, is A. L.
Sweet, General superintendent Of the c.,
". & v. Coal Company
The facts, so far as developed, are as
follows On the lst OF April the men, who
had on an average only made S2S IN the
month Of March, met in mass meeting, and
demanded that the wages Of 1873 and
1876 be substituted for the wages now re-
ceived On the "a Of April notice was
posted up on the shafts that on and after
May 1, further reduction Of % cents per
ton in mining would be exacted by the
company After a brief cons ,ltation that
proposition was unanimously rejected. as
1t implied absolute starvation, nd at a
meeting held on April 8, il was Determined
that the men should clean up their rooms
and suspend all operations 80 long as the
reduction is insisted on. A deputation
was also dispatched to Streator TO the
Kenosha mines, to LaSalle and Indiana, to
secure. if possible, concerted action. In
regard to Indiana, it has heretofore been
the complaint Of Mr.. Sweet that comPe-
tition was impossible SO long as Brazil coal
could be mined and brought into Chicago
cheaper than the Braidwood coal could be
brought for. Upon investigation this ex-
cuse has been found to have 10 foundation,
Mr.. Sweet himself having correspondent
with the Indiana operators in regard to
the reduction.
So far the delegations have succeeded
admirably, and there is a likelihood that
the men will carry their point. They Ger
tainly can if they WI! stand together.

REHAsHED NONSENSE.


II nerves our heart and .teels our sword
In his inaugural President Hayes gave
vent to the following, while discussing the
financial issue
Upon the currency question | may be per
mitted to repeat the statement made in my
letter Of acceptance, that, in my judgment.
the feeling OF uncertainty inseparable from
an irredeemable paper currency, with its
fuc .uations of values, is one of the greatest
obstacles Of return to prosperous times.
The only safe paper currency is one which
rests upon q coin basis, and is at all times
promptly converted into coin.
| adhere to the views heretofore expressed
by me in favor of Congressional legislation
in behalf Of an early resumption Of specie
payment, and | am satisfied not only that
this is wise, but that the interests, as well
as the public sentiment Of the country, i'm.
peratively demand it.
The foregoing declaration, the delibe.
rate opinion Of the representative and
mouthplece Of the Republican party, fore
shadcwiDg, as it does, the policy he i,
likely TO pursue, proves conclusIvely thai
the Independent party must stand by it'
guns, and that it has nothing whatever t.
hope from the reform % administration o
Rutherford B. Hayes. His selection o
John Sherman, one Of the most notorious
INSCRIPTIONS, shameless advocates Of thu
specie resumption fraud, to the response
BILE position Of Secretary of the Treasury
furnishes this key to the situation.
His worse than parrot-hke clap-tral
twaddle about an irredeemdbie currency, Al
applied to the greenbscks, and the CLAIM
that the only safe paper currency is on'
which rests on a coin basis, when pani'
