Treatment for CONSERVATIVES.

The medical Record contains the de-
tails of a treatment for consumptives that,
so far, has been very promising in its re-
suits The theory OF cure is to clear the
lungs bya mechanical effort, chiefly by
manipulating the muscles OF the throat
so as to cause more fOrcible breathing
second to establish perfect digestion
third, to promote process OF healing the
tubercles, so they shall become chalky or
calcfed masses; fourth, to compel the
patients to take plenty OF fresh air, sun
light and outdoor exercise. To secure
perfect digestion. special diet is ordered
in every case, and the food is changed rs
the powder assimilatingi improves.
To promote the calcifying OF the
tubercles, the salts OF lime, which are
found in most vegetable and animal food,
must be supplied in soluble condition
the theory is that too much heat in Ordi-
nary cooking destroys the natural COM
bination of these salts with albumen and
renders them insoluble to weak diges-
ton. OutsdoOr exel else is regarded rs 80
important that the patients are in
structed to go out in rain, snow, damp
ness, or even night air or dew, the habit
thus acquired neutralzing the danger OF
catching Geld from such exposure. Only
strong head winds and extreme hot
weather need be guarded against. The
patients sleep with the windows open,
summer and winter.
A Minneapolis physician, whose Gin
chona recipe for the cure of drunksrds
recently attracted attention, recommends
this highly carbonaceous mixture in the
treatment of consumption: One.halt
pound finely cut up beeisteak (tresh);
one dram puveriz d charcoal four
ounces pulverized sugar; four ounces rye
whisky; one pint boiling water. Mix all
together, let it stand in a cCol place over
night, and give from one to two tea
.poonfuls, liquid and meat, be'ore each
meal. The value Of this method OF sup
plying a sufficiency OF carbon in form
that may be readily appropriated Is
obvious,

copper, thirty parts of nickel, twelve
parts of zinc, five parts of lead, and one
part of bismuth.
Good and pure coffee has very marked
characteristics distinguishing it from
chicory, its chief adulterant. Coffee
has at least eleven per cent. of fatty
matter, but chicory has only only one

contains very small proportion OF
sugar, about two per cent, while chic0ry
has not less than twenty-five per cent.

VIOLATING THE MAILs.-Older citizens will
remember the Indignation that prevailed
throughout the North, years ago, when Demo-
cratic authorities permitted the searching of the
mails in the South for Abolition documents, and
the throwing of papers adjudged to be Abolition
out of the mails. There is considerable iDdigna-
tion throughout the country now, at similar out
RACES But the authority for present Ontrages
was secured through high-toned fraud, like
that by which silver was demonetized-it was
smuggled into an act, without notice or due
consideration. A law was justly passed, to pro-
hibit the sending of obscene books, pictures, or
other obscene matter, through the mails; but
after the word "obscene," the words 'or bias
phemous,n were smuggled and now q set of in
quisitors are engaged in the work of deciding
what are obscene or blasphemous, and are search
ing the mails. Under the censorship of these
inquisitors, medical and physiological books,
that have for years been received as standard
works, are pronounced obscene, and are thrown
from the mails, and the senders prosecuted and
imprisoned. Under the same act, papers known
as Infidel or Free Thinking papers, are adjudged
to be blasphemous, and are subjected to the
same outrage One Comstock, in the New York
post-ofice, is the inquisitorgeneral in this busi-
ness. This is q direct outrage upon the Consti-
tutional guarantee Of free thought aud free
speech. when men no longer have the right
to express or print their belief, without being
subjected to persecution and Imprisonment be-
cause it does not agree with the belief of self
constituted censors it looks as if the age of big
otsy and persecution were returning.
Mearures are on foot to thorughly test the le-
gality of thess outrages upon free thought and
speech and the privacy of the mails. But what
sort of law makers is the land eprsed with, when
any outrage upon the rights of the people can
be smuggled into bill, and receive the sanction
of majority, without being discovered

"Greenback CIubs.-

The Greeeback folks, with their Clnb business,
are more likely to bring themselve into ridicuie
than to accomplish anything in the canse for
which they profess to unite. Any canse, to be
successful, should be in the hands of practical
men, who understand at least some of the prin-
ciples governing the subject. The sole idea of a
majority OF these who going wild ssi Green
backs. seems TO be, that Government should
start the mill, and tnrn out millions of dollars
daily. when everybody would at once have their
pockets full of money, whether they did any
thing to earn it or had anything to exchange for
it or not Grcenbacks will not grow on trees
like leaves, to fall down and cover every lazy
being who lounges in the shade.
To tell the plain truth, there is no earthly use
for a distinctive Greenback party. On the con-
trary, such party hiders more than helps the
cause In the West, both the Republican and
Democratic parties are in favor of Greenbacks.
There is not a single member of either branch of
Congress who was elected by the Greenback par
ty set there are over two-thirds majorities in
both branches in favor of the greenback Silver
will be remonetized by the votes of Republican
and Democratic members; and if the President
yetoes the bill, it will be passed over his veto,
by 4 twothirds majority. composed of Republi-
caus and Democrats, in both Houses. If the
-isesdfaatisI- act 10 repealed, (Which we believe
It will be,) it must be done by the members now
In Congress for if not repealed, it will go into
operation before their terms expire Silver be-
ing remonetized, and the Resumption act repeal
ed, the chain of the Money Power will be broken,
and thenceforth the greenback will have per-
manent majority. What will be the Use of a
Greenback party after its sole object is accom-
plished by other parties! Those Greenbackers
who are forming Clubs, and passing. resolutions,
would show more practical common sense by
sticking to their respective parties, and assist
ing thsm in electing members of Congress who
are sonnd on the question. Since the Republi-
cans of Kansas have Eve representatives in the
two branches of Congress, who are all that the
most ardent Greenback man eopld desire on the
money question, what is the sense in any Kan
sas Republican going off with any new party
and resolving that he is in favor of Greenbacks,
and all that sort of thingi
Looking at the names attached to those Green
back Club rolls, it is easy to be seen that large
number of them are hankering after law that
will supply them with what they are too indo-
lent to earn. Many Of them would be as poorly
off O. they ars now, were Greenbacks never SO
plenty.

~ The Bulletin, speaking of the Printing
question, remarks: "The time may come when
the Board will be Democratic, then the tune
will be changed" That's tile whole question in
a nutshell. When the Democrats are in power,
they put on the screws to the tightest, and give
the patronage to Democrats. A citizen of Don-
phan County, who was recently given position
in public institution in Missouri, has been dis
charged, because it was found out that he was
Republican. Doniphan County is strongly Re-
publican, and the COUNTY. officials believe in
strengthening the hands of their friends. When
your party gets in power, We shall not go after
them, begging and whining for crumbs. We i'm
agiue that your shifting, and squealing, and
bowling, will avail You naught.
