it Is now an established fact that German
Syrup is the only remedy which has given
complete satisfaction in severe cases Of Lung

DIR. Summers Diagnosis of the Yellow
Fever.

Nashville American
DIR. T. l.. Maddin received the fol-
lowing dispatch, yesterday, from DR..
7. O. Summers, Jr., in reference to
an inquiry from the former relative
to the clinical history of the fever:
MEMPHIS, Sept. 14-Prof. T. L.
Maddin, NJ D., Nashville; The di-
sease here began as an ordinary mala-
rial fever of a malignant type and
glided gradually into the epidemic fe-
yer. The raw, well-marked yellow
fever has a decided malarial livery,
and should be treated with quinine.
In the hot state, pro re 3Iata, the kid
neps, according to my autopsies, are
injected with albumen arising from
the large amount Of carbOnic acid,
given off in the blood, which always
attends zymosis. The albumen Is thus
dissolved, and only phosphate Of am
monia, fifteen grains every three hours,
will reduce il to a physical state Of
suspension. The fever runs a course
of about three days, when either death
occurs or conva1escence begins. Moth
ing out Hulu AuAIIlIIGiIJ CStli Aio t+AC'1
There is but one chill at the com
mencement, attended with severe
pains in the hack and head. Patients
die from three causes-suppression OF
urine, irritation frthe centres at the
base of the brain, and gastic disorder.
The temperature at the beginning is
from one hundred and two to one hun
dred and five; pulse generally one hun
dred and five and above; the pulse
goes down while the temperature re-
mains the same or rises. Nothing but
creosote and morphia will arrest the
black vomit. I. Q. SUMMERS.

A series of meetings began at Rocky
Springs Baptist church, five miles
northeast of Salisbury, on the first
Sunday in this month, under the
guidance of Elders D. r. Bryant and
n. A. West, which resulted in the adj
dition of 30 members to the church at
that place. Many others were con-
verted, but have not joined the church
yet. Truly a great blessing has been
showered upon this community, which
viii long be remembered. We here
exclaim in the language of the poet
in behalf of the young converts:
Eternal Hope when their faith sublime
Pealed their first notes TO EOund the march OF Time
Their joyous youth has began, hut not to fade
When this earth and all therein has decdyed.
