Editors Dispatch: The above subject will
not be discussed in your valuable columns.
but for your own pleasure must say that,
rs "A physician, was glad you published
your article ON the treatment, and possibly,
il you choose, you may disturb Meticus's
-equanimity by telling him something about
tue regular way of treating the disease in
question. To be brief, the prescription pub
lished by you should be tried by persons
who know the difference between gently
inhaling substance and in allowing
a person to be strangled to death
by it. No one was ever known to
have died from cause so simple as
the inhalation Of little suphurous vapor
largely admixed with atmospheric air. No
mother is going to hold her child En- any
such vapor when she sees that its respira-
ton has been suspended. We all know that
the carbonic oxide from burning charcoal is
sure death il we breathe enough of 1T. Sui
cides are committed by starting charcoal
fire in the room and going to sleep; the
breathers seldom wake again. Still, great
deal of the linen worn by the medical pro-
fession is iaundried by the aid OF charcoal
furnaces, and the washerwomen are about
as exempt from sudden fatality as most
people.
The fact is i don't like to see so much
snarling when secular paper proposes to
give the poor people alittIe peep into stned-
ical mysteries" The people are not such
fools after all; they are not going to kill
their children by sufoeation or strangala-
ton, and even If they did. ask our IA ed5cal
friend IL the rule with the medical preses-
sion is not to "cut their throots y wben
they get their patients SO that they ean't
breathe, or swallow with difficulty ?? So
that it matters but little-t the parent might
strangle its offspring and the doctor migaS
cut its throat. Either way would settle the
question. The only advantage in having
the doctor would be to put the burden oa
murder on his hands. & "a
