THE NATURE AND CURE OF
DIpHTHERIA.

While the ravages of diphtheria con-
tinue and increase, it will be blessing
to YOUR readers TO call their attention TO
the discoveries Of New I ork physi-
clan concerning this disease. He finds
that it is poisoning of the blood. The
blood being poisoned, the whole system
weakens land if the poison continues in
the blood the patient dies. The excess
sive weakness of the patient, often con-
tinuing long after conyaleScence. and
the death of patients who seem to be
recovering, show that there is hidden,
deep-seated agent at work in the system
and support the discovery that, as to its
nature. diphtheria is nothing but a
poisoning and destruction of the blood.
The cure for the disease is, for an
adult, two table-spoonfuls of brandy
per hour; and for children, doses de-
creasing according to age. Any one
can administer this remedy, before the
arrival of the doctor. The sooner it Is
given, the lighter the attack will be /;
hut even vhen the patient is far gone,
it does not lose its curative power. The
physician who discovered the remedy
has used it in hundreds of cases, losing
only two or three patients, who were
nearly dead when he was called. The
remedy should be gwen early, and it
should be given as an antidote to all the
members of household where there is
diphtheria, as the germs of the poison
are often at word in the blood for days
where the person seems in good health.
The philosophy Of the cure i, simple.
Brandy is poison. Two poisons taken
into the system, will neutralize each
other. The brandy passes at once into
the blood, and there destroys the diph-
theric poison; while the latter destroys
the bran ly poison, and the patient re-
covers. So long as the diphtheria poi
son remains in the blood, it entirely
neutralizes the brandy, so that the or
binary effects of brandy, Intoxicating
and the smell of whiskey in the breath,
are not present. Until the breath
smells Of whiskey and intoxication be-
gins to be manifested, the remedy may
be applied fearlessly, for so long the
diphtheria is unchecked, and its poison
will destroy the poison of the brandy.
But when the appearances of intoxica-
ton become very manifest, the dose
should be lessened, and finally stopped.
OF course physician should be called
in all cases Of diphtheria. | have for
gotten the name of the physician who
discovered the remedy, but believe it
was Abbot He has published book
in New Y ork, describing the disease
and the cure.
Every reader should cut this out. and
read it to his friends. How many
mourners will lament that they had not
seen 1t sooner.

LONG AND SHORT SLEEPERS.

Seamen and soldiers, from habit, can
sleep when they will, and wake when
they will. Captain Barclay, when per-
forming his wonderful feat of walking
LOCO miles III as many consecutive hours,
obtained such a mastery over himself
that he fell asleep the minute he lay down.
The faculty of remaining asleep for a
great length OF time is possessed by some
Quin, the celebrated player, who would
siumber for twenty-fGur hours success
slyely with Elizabeth Oryir, who slept
three fourths of her hfe with Elizabeth
Perkins, who slept for a week or fort
night at time with Mary Lyell, who
did the same for six successive weeks :;
and with many others, more or less re-
markable.
4 phenomenon Of an opposite character
is sometimes observed, for there are 9TH
er individuals who can subsist on a sur
prisingly small portion of sleep. The
celebrated General Elliot was an instance
of this kind he was strikingly abstinent,
his food consisting wholly of bread, wa
ter, and vegetables. In letter commu-
nicated to Sir John Sinclair, by John
Gordon, ESQ, of Swine, mention is made
of a person named John Mackay, of
Skerry, who died in Strathnave, in the
year 1897, aged 81 ; he only slept on an
average of four hours in the twenty four,
and was remarkably robust and healthy
man. Frederick the Great, of Prussia,
and the illustrious surgeon, John Hun
ter, only slept five hours during the same
period. The celebrated French General
Piehegro informed Sir Gilbert Blaine
that during a whole years campaign he
had not allowed himself above one hours
sleep IN the twenty-four.

quently alluded to in all the papers and
was largely drawn upon for use in the
southern contederacy during the civil
war. The block shown at the San
Office and intended for presentation in
the Maryland Academy of Sciences is of
pure white crystals, with white exfolia-
tions. The salt mine in question from
which it was taken is on the island of
Petit Anse, tract of 1000 acres, near
the Gulf of Mexico, and rising out of a
salt marsh to height of 10 feet. The
shallowneSs of the approach to the
island requires the construction of a
causeway to deep water, before this re-
markable salt mine, which has been
opened into the pure salt rock to a
depth of sixty feet, can be economically
worked. The quantity of underlying
salt is estimated as at least 5000, 600
tons This is, however, but guesswork,
but the quality of the salt is shown by
analysis to be 90 66-100 of purity, the
best Liverpool salt testing but about 9S

STEAM ROAD WAGON.

Madison Democrat: At two O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, the Oshkosh steam
road wagon came out in front of the
Villas House for tie purpose Of making
trial trip for the benefit of the legis-
lators and the public in general. One
of Kcntzler's carry-ails was attached to
the machine and was soon crowded with
passengers-mostly members of the leg
islature. The whistle sounded, ''all
aboard was called, and off went the
machine up Main street to the Park
Hotel. All desired to see if the turn
at the Park could be made in good style
All saw and were satisfied. Now the
question arose: "How will it operate
running down Carroll street to Mltfiln-
won't it get away from the engineer"
No, it did not He could hold his iron
horse in check in moment, and at any
point In short, the circle of the park
was made in satisfactory manner.
The speed was not as fast as that made
by the machine from the same manu-
facturers, which appeared here last Ju-
". The machine now here was built
for heavy work in Colorado, and is now
on its way thither. 1t can be geared
up to a speed of twelve or fifteen miles
per hour; but the gearing required for
such speed preceded the machine on its
westward course, hence could not be
obtained.
We understand that before this ma
chine started out from Oshkosh It's ca
pacity was tested; and with perfect ease
she got away with sixteen tons OF
lumber. Engineers and machinists in
this city, who paid particular attention
to the operations of the machine yester-
day, as she made several circles Of the
park, reported decidedly in her favor.
They pronounced the concern a success.

\ BRAVE SoLDIER.-Despite the
long continued enmity between England
and Atghanistan. several of the bravest
soldiers in the British armies have been
men of Afghan blood. Among the
most noted was Schitab Roy, who bore
the regimental colors in a campaign
against the Mahrattas. At one time
the English were completely surrounded
by clouds of charging horsemen, and
the flagstaff which the gallant Afghan
bore was snapped in twain by bullet
He at once tore the banner from its
shattered pole, wrapped it around his
body and fought his way through the
enemy, bringing into camp the cherish
Cd flag, which was literally riddled with
sabre cuts. For this deed he was hon
ored on the spot in the presence of the
whole regiment, but was subsequently
imprisoned on an utterly untounded
charge of treason, and died soon after
his release.

IT has hardly escaped the atten-
ton of any reader of the HERALD
that we have uniformly observed
an attitude of profound respect to
Gen. Volney L. Howard, of this
county. We not only regard him
with respect but feel towards him a
thorough personal cordiallty. He
Ia altogether the most estlmable
and respectable gentleman, as far
as our lights go, that has been
identified with the new Constitu-
tion party at any stage. 1t is a
matter of poignant regret to us that
we are not fighting under the lead
ership of Gen. Howard, on strict
party lines, whether the result be
victory or defeat. One blast upon
that bugle horn, were the note
Democratic and not new Constitu-
tional, would have been worth ten

that the old Guard could die-it

The lager beer drinkers of New

but they want more beer for their

larger beer glasses was made by
many speakers. Mr.. Eiubrecher

ponents of lager beer had been
brought down to such low figure
that drinkers, as American free.

THAT the H. BIS are not MAX
ing any notable progress in their
scheme to capture the Working
mems organization is shown by
the following, which we find in
the San Francisco Bulletin, Of May
18th:
At a meeting Of the Ward Presl-
dents of the w. P. G. yesterday af-
ternoon, the following resolutions
were introduced aud discussed:
HEhEAS, A member of this
18th of May, i'll this city aud couu-
ty, act on com mittee, the pur-
pose of the committee being to the
effect that a new party Is necessary
To carry iuto practice the reforms
em braced in tile new Constitution,
said party to be known as the New
Constitution Party.
Resolved, That said James S.
Reynoids, by acting with said COM
iniIee, violated his pledge to his
party, aud by bis act becomes un-
worthy to further hold seat in
this Board.
Mr. Dunn held that it was very
improper for Rey nolIs to act upon
that com N ittee. None of the 9TH
er Workiugmen present affiliated
with the meeting, and lest IL
should be construed that they
counlenaDced the new party, all
had refused to act.
Mr.. Reynolds said the Working
men were altogether too suspicious
of their friends. The meeting was
in the interest of the new C0nsti
tuition, and up to the time he ac
cepted the appointment on the
committee the assemblage was
nOn-political. The committee was
to frame resolutions expressive of
the sense Of the meeting, and as
there was large number Of Work
ingmen present, he deemed it no
more than proper that they should
be represented. He did not vote
for the resolutions, because the
Workingmen had concluded not to
longer affiliate with the meeting.
He took no greater part in the
meeting than Barbour and Beer
stecher, both of whom addressed
the gentlemen there and sought to
influence them into their way of
thinking. AS for the result of the
meeting, he ridiculed its action,
but he did not repudiate any man
who was willing to vote the same
ticket as himself. The Workingmen
went to that meeting to see what
could be done to cement the friends
of the Constitution, and after doing
that they had Withdrawn.
The resolution of censure was
withdrawn after Mr.. Reynolds ex-
planation.
