Dipththeria and its Treatment

Dec. 16, 1873. s5.s-s.s .-...z.
Dipththeria and its, Treatment.
Diphtheria is a disease which
springs from the growth of a real
fungus on some of the mucous sur
| faces of the system, more generally
of the throat. 1t may be spread by
contact of the mucous surfaces of a
diseased with those of a healthy
person, as in kissing, and is tG linn
tied degree epidemic. From the 10
cal parts affected it spreads TO the
whole body, affecting the muscular
and nervous syetems, vitiating the
lymph and nutrient fluids, and pro-
ducing paralysis As soon as the
bacterium or fungus appears in white
patches on the throat, it should no
more be neglected than bleeding
cash or broken arm, and there is
almost as little need of a fatal ter
mination of the one as the other. It
has been found by actual expert
ment, both in aud out of the human
system, that this bacterium is killed
by several drugs, the safest and most
certain of which is chlorine water,
diluted with the addition of from
two to four times the volume of wa,
ter. This wash is harmless, eveni
when swallowed, and is pretty cer-'
tnih to arrest the disease.
The great cEelopadia Of ziemes-
sen on the practice of medicine gives
the highest plaeesto this method of
treatment. To- keep the patient
we'll housed and warm, with addi-
tional flannel clothing if necessary,
and to keep the system we'll nour-
ished and the bowels open are mat
ters of nursing often neglected; but
with care in these respects and early
application of the remedies above
suggested, there is no need of the
disease proceeding to fatal -termi-
nation, or even to the debilitating
Illness and painful cauterizatiOn
which go together in its latter
stages.
As to the origin of diphtheria, the
weight of testimony is that it be
longs to the class of filth diseases,
but further than that its source is
not clear. Families which would
be scandalized at the suggestion of
untidiness are attacked, while 9TH
ers of filthy surroundings escape.
This simply shows that our sense of
cleanliness needs cultivation, so that
we mag discriminate between what
is offensive to the system and what
is offensive to our falsely educated
tastes. The farmers wife to whom
the closed and carefully busted par
lor or the preternaturally scrubbed
floor are the essentials of neatness,
may endure the proximity of sour
swamp or the kitchen cesspool for
years without taking offense. To
many careful and labOrious house
keeper, chance cobweb or the chill
dren's glitter" of a few hours play |
will outrank in Nervousness a defec-
tive drain for the cellar or a badly |
constructed privy.-SPrinDield Re

Hayes in Favor of Grants Nom
inati0n.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Cleveland Herald writes: "One
curious feature about the Grant
movement Is the fact that President
HAYES seems to look with favor up.
on the possibility that his predeces.
sor may also be his successor. He
is reported to have expressed him.
self to a number of friends of late
in way that shows he would not
be at all displeased if Grant were to
step in when he steps out. His idea
seems to be that Grant would carry
out substantially the policy of the
present Administration in regard to
all important questions, and espe-
cially the Southern question and the
money question, while a 'stalwart'
like Blaine or Conkling coming into
power in 1881 might. try to reverse
everything done during the preced-
ing four years. Mr.. Hayes evident
ly looks upon his policy as the result
of Grants advice on leaving the
Presidency. The nomination of \
pronounced 'stalwart' in 1880 would
naturally seem to Mr.. Hayes like a
rebuke to his Administration, while
that of Gen. Grant he would regard
as in some sort vindication, and
as affording an assurance of the con-
tinuance of a moderate policy"

Resumption Accomplished.

Special Washington Dispatch to the Leader.
For the first time since the Gov
ernment suspended specie payments,
on the 18th of January, 1862, gold
is worth no more than par. This is
practical resumption, and Secretary
Sherman is highly pleased at the
cOngratulatory dispatches he has
received to-day, Dec. 18th, from the
bankers of New York and other
places. Speaking of the chez ing
prospects of the success of his re-
sumption act, he says "that it IS
what he has been expecting for some
time, and had not other things in
tervened, gold would have been at
par long before" The total amount
of coin and bullion in the country
at this time is said to be over $685.
100000. Of this aggregate the
Treasury Department now holds,
according to a report submitted to
Congress two weeks ago, $4,000,
900 in coin. This reserve is equal
to rather more than forty per cent.
of the entire issue of legal tender
notes, and resumption must succeed.
