Treatment of DiphtherIa.

DR.. Wright in the GAINESVILLE
Chronicle says: We are in receipt of
the "T transactions Of the Medical
Society of the State of Tennessee"
for the present year. Besides the
learned and eloquent address of the
President, DR.. B. w. Avont, it con-
talns many papers of scientific interest
and practical utility. 1t would be
foreign to the character of this journ-
al were We to attempt any critical
discussion Of these; we will, however,
make one exception. In view of the
unusual prevalence of diphtheria this
fall we will make special mention of q
paper by DR.. Deering j. Roberts on
the pathology and treatment of that
disease. DR.. Roberts agrees with
the best pathologists of the day in
describing diphtheria as a local di-
sease at its inception, but acquiring
the character of a blood disease dur
ing its progress. He maintains the
deprivation of the blood to depend
upon the loss of oxygen occasioned by
the existence of bacteria or other liv-
ing organism in that fluid which. by
their respiration, consume the vitaliz-
ing gas. His treatment consists Of
quinia in the earlier stages Of the di
sease, together with chlorate of iron.
So far it does not differ from that
very generally adopted both in this
country and Europe. The point
which he claims as peculiar in his
treatment is the frequent exhibition
of lemon juice and honey in equal
parts. This mixture he gives in tea
spoonful does in all stages of the di-
sease Furthermore, he withholds en-
tirely the alcoholic stimulants, believ-
ing them to act adversely by retard-
ing the oxidation of the blood.
While we might probably question
the modus operandi of his treatment,
if our space admitted of such discus
sion, the success he claims to have re-
allied from it is so great that we
think it right to give it so much pub
licity as may be derived from our de-
failing its peculiarities. We invite
the attention of our medical readers
to it.

and location by any private residence

located. The teams that fill the streets
on the three sides of the church indi-
cate the wealth of the people. Some of
the turn-outs are regal. Many Of the
drivers are in livery, with knee-breech-
es and huge white neck-ties. The
Church is full on all pleasant Sunday
mornings. 1t costs something to wor-
ship here. The income from rentals is
over $40 900 a year. The front gallery
pews rent for $3.50 each. The Stewards,
A. and r. L., own their pews, and
they cost SIS, 1000.
Two blocks above, and over on Mad
ison, stands the Reformed Church.
Though not as large as DR.. Halls, it lie
quite as elegant. But the house is
painfully thin. Two-thirds of the
pews are empty. The wide galleries
have a straggler or two. The front of
the gallery is open. The inside is bro
ken into sections, 1t has the look Of
an ice-cream gallery. Four chairs in
each section and a small table complete
the illusion.

Washington special to the Cincinnati
Commercial: Republicans recently
from California arc predicting wonder
full gains for the party in that State
next year. California has not yet cleo
ted members to Congress, and this is
considered fortunate, as the Republic
cans thus get the full moral effect of
the great Eastern tidal wav The
present delegation stands two Republic
cans to two Democrats. BY gaining SCI
votes in the two districts now repre-
scented by Democrats, the Republicans
will have a solid delegation. This they
claim to be able to do, and will spare
neither money nor brainst to accomplish
it. The two taken from the already
slender Democratic majority and added
to the Republican column will throw
the organization of the House under
virtual control Of the dozen Nationals
and Gr~eenbackers. Ia this event the
Greenbackers here say that they shall
claim a large slice of the House patron
age. with California solid Republican
it will be impossible for the Democrats
