COUGHS AND FOUL AIR.

The reader will allow me to recite the
case OF a patient OF mine. A year ago,
during his honeymoon, | congratulated
him, and told him that a dry cough with
which he was troubled was curable. pro-
vded he took care to live in the open air
AS much as possible. inuring himself to
cold, sleeping in well ventilated chambers.
Tree from dust, etc. But this advice was
hardly relished by the young pair. In
October they hired rooms in house that
had just been built its ''dampness" they
remeded by keeping up fires steadily the
windows were hardly ever opened, as the
house stood on windy corner, and the
husband was growing more and more SEN
silve to cold Tor this reason. too, he sell
dom went out OF doors. La November he
took to the bed, was again about, but he
gradually declined, to the last hoping to
recover.
Different was the course followed by MIR.
IL, who, emaciated and troubled with
II cough, had hemorrhage alter con-
tracing severe cold He went into
the country, took as much exercise as he
could in the open air, and returned home
with only Il slight cough. At home he
every morning took warm bath with ef-
luslons oi cold water, avoided rooms with
bad air, exc. la six months he was Tree
from his cough, appeared to be well nour-
ished, and no longer had any fear OF tax
ing cold.
Ii the reader will dspassionately COM
pare these two cases, he Will agree with
me that the first patient, who mad never
had hemorrhage, Tell "a victim 10 the action
OF foul air, while H used to say, IL
must give to my diseased lungs, above all
things, fresh air, as the prime necessary
of lie." Animals never take cold, even
in winter; therefore among men II must

SOCIETY CUSTOMS IN WASHINGTON.

1t Is proper TO allude to one or two
customs OF the place which may be con-
sidered to illustrate the simplicity Of
the society, or the reverse. The rule In
Washington is that all strangers pay
visits trst-a rule which, like most social
rules, is observed with strictness by for
eigners, and with considerable Iaxity by
natives. Not only this. but 1t is to q GER
tain extent de rigueur for all the Washing
ton magnates to return visits (by leaving
card) on all persons, known or unknown
who call on them. For instance, if the
wife OF the smallest tradesman in Wash
ington takes it into her head that she
would like the acquaintance of the wife
OF the Secretary OF State, all that is nec-
essary Tor her to do is, after securing
some passable costume, dressing in
Washington need not be what it must bein
Paris Or New York, to present herself
ON the regular day" at the Secretarys
house. She will be admitted, will pay
her respects, and the next day she will
have the satisfaction Of having lett ut her
own door by the official footman Q card
bearing the official inscription, The Sec
retary OF State. Now. this tends TO
great complication rather than simplicity,
and ii 1t could be given up would make
life for the wives vi high officials more
endurable. An attempt was made during
the last Administration to break it up, but
like one or two other more serious reforms
undertaken at that time, the existence of
such custom tends to make society al
together too easy OF entrance, and to foist
upon it gradually many characters whom,
ii left to itself, it would not recognize. 1t
exists nowhere but in Washington, and
would not be tolerated for moment any
where else. 1t is, OF course, regarded by
everybody as very ''democratic," and SO
it is; but it must be confessed that when
democratic principles are carried so lar
as to permit strangers 10 force their ac-
quantance upon people who do not care
ior it, it is risking great deal for poiiti-
cal consistency. The custom is like that
tabled to prevail along the western FROM
tier, which entitled any member OF the
community TO force stranger to drink
with him or be shot. No such custom
could prevail in society which aimed at
being exclusive" and if fault may be
found with society at Washington, it is
that of not being exclusive enough.-At-
iantic Monthly.

Ifso, instead of sending the patient to his own

be safer and better to prescribe alcohol in the
