The Cause Of Consumption.

Dr.. Rolin II. Gregg, Of Buffalo, N. Y ;,
IL confident that ho has solved the mystery
of consumption. Regular physicians will
be apt to say that he has mistaken condi--
tion for cause, nevertheless we are in
olinod to think that good may como from
the emphasis ho lays upon that condition,
eince it seems calculated to work benefi-.
dial change in the customary treatment of
the disease.
Dr. Gregg argues that as The loss of
albumen from tho blood through the mucous
membrane of she kidneysi 10 Bright's dis
case, rapidly and fatally dopetes the system,
much moro must the more rapid loss Of
albumen through tbe mucous mem branes of
tho lungs bo serious in all it's stages and
speedily fatal in It's results, if proper
N easures arc not taken to stop such waste
before fatal conditions have arisen. Tho
expectorations Of oonsmptivos, and all thoir
other catarrhal or mucous discharges ffom
whatever organ, arc mostly albumon and
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1879-06-05
direct loss of 80 much Of this constituent
from tho blood. It is this wastage which

direct loss of so much of this constituent
from tho blood. 1t is this wastage which
causes tho great emaoiation characteristic of
consumption, and not, he thinks, auy fail
ure Of the system to assimilate food. And
this loss of albumen does mischief not only
in robbing the muscles of their proper nu.
triton, but also in throwing the constituents
of the blood into disptoportion. The loss
of ono ounce of albumen destroys nearly a
pound Of blood for oil purposes of healthy
nutrition, and leaves in tho blood relative
excess of st ounces Of water; ouuocs of
blood corpucles, grains Of fatty matter,
Is grains Of fbrin, and a grains of salts
These elements in excess act tho samo as
foreign matters in tho blood, and disturb
tho entire economy of the system. Night
sweats and dropsy are the result of the
excess of water. The blood corpuclos loft
in excess are deoolorized by the too watery
blood, and arc deposited in the capllares or
smallest blood vessels, where they shriyel
and become tubcrculous, so called; the fatty
matters in excess cnuse tho fatty livers and
other fatty degenerations attending the
disease; the excess of fbrin causes the ad.
hesion of the pleura to tho inner service Of
tho ribs, tho heart, or to each other, often
among tho most serious Of tho complica-
tiors of consumption; and finally, the ex-
cess of salt causes cnlouli, enlargement of
the joints, ossifications, and similar morbid
developments.
In such cases of consumption as are
characterized in their earlier stages by an
absence of profuso cxpectoration, DR.. Gregg
would attribute tho beginning of tho disease
to loss of albumen through aomo other
organ or organs; the shrivcled blood corpus
cles lodging in the lungs, starting tuber-
cules there and setting up dry cough,
with the resultant irritation of the mucous
membrane and outpouring of mucous.
From this point Of view, there is but one
source of hope to the consumptivo in any
etage of the disease, and that is through
the healing of the mucous membranes and
the stopping Of the waste of albumen. By
this means. in tho earlier stage of the
disease-with oil who have not inherited
tho most feeble constithtions-thero is
much to hope from judicious treatment
Whatever may be the primary CAUSE of
consumption, it is pretty evident that tho
mucous discharge which attends the dis
easo and fnda relief in expectoration is to
be reptessed rather than encouraged, aud
to do this must radically change tho usual
treatment of tho disease, at least in its
early stages Scientific american.

A Just and Good Man.

Isaac Reed Noys, of Morristown, N. j.,
died in March last, and wo have just re-
ceived the discourse delivered at his funeral
bv his pastor, Rev. Albert Erdman. 1t is
an admirable sermon, setting forth the
character of man whom "God hath set
apart for himself" Mr.. Noycs was for
merly merchant in business in this CITY,
We now make an extract from tho sermon:
"In tho year 1928 hc came to Now York,
where ho soon oftet engaged with partner
in business enterprise, which after few
years--in 1832-proved unsuccessful.
Having made settlement with his credi-
tors on tho basis Of from twonty-ive to
scventy-flve per cent, lio was honorably
and entirely released from all furthct obi.
cations. Gle afterwards went into part.
nership with Wilson &. Hunt, and was
very successfully. But however others
might discharge him from obligation, not
so did he deal with himself. IIo thought
also OF 10 conscience void of offence toward
God" Hear therefore the sequel. Among
his private papers, it was tho high privilege
Of his son to find only yestcrday--and it
was his first knowledge of tho transaction
"a schedule of names and thrco lotters.
The schedule contained first list of the
names of creditorsj next column of tho
amount of Indebtedness to each creditors
another Of amounts paid to each in 1882
iD composition of the debt; and next n
third column Of tho balance of tho debt
paid to each in full. Two of tho thrco
letters were dated in 1886, and tferc from
one of the creditors acknowledging tho
receipt Of this balance of the debt, and cx.
pressing in terms of warm admiration, his
appreciation Of tho bigh sense of honor
and the sterling integrity of such an act
after full discharge had boen made years
before. The other letter was similar In
character and is still moro fervcnt language,
from another creditor. This was dated 10
l845, thus showing that for moro than ten
years this just man kept constantly before
him, with noble singleness of purpose,
this ono simple duty Of having all right
between bid conscience and his God. Then,
as further characteristic Of the man to
whom tho simple performance Of duty was
not thing to be lauded OF talked about,
though it was decd of highest Christian
manhood, he quietly laid away tho papers
1.-The letters being doubtless but samples
of similar ones from other parties for his
son aud widow to find only yesterday, show.
ing them anew how true man ll6 was.
Some men leave largo fortunes to their
children; this son has a legacy in that ono
simple transaction, which all the gold of
California could not buy, tho legacy Of
fathers good name. Verify, "A good namo
is better than precious ointment;'' its fra
grahoe fills our hearts to day. "The momory
of the just is blossed."

From an Independent Stand
Point, uda .aa.a

. .r
The Philadelphia Times, which looks A.
politics and politicians from an independent
stand point, lays down some general propo-
sitions as to tho prospects of Presidential
candidates, that arc worthy of attention.
1t says: 81. No man who vas disloyal to
the government in the late war against
armed secession, will ever bo mado Presi-
dent of tho Republic, nor will any such fill
tho second plaoo Oil a successful ticket.
Nor does the rulo apply merely to those
who fought or acted openly with tho South,
but it applies as well to men in tho North
who favored the South in all ways but in
manly courage. Honest and patriotic diff
terencos of opinion as to tho policy of tho
government in conduct of tho war is not
a just complaint, but he who failed to sup
port tho government in the death struggle
for its maintenance, will never reach its
highest honora.
~. No man of any party who now ranks
with the revolutionary clement of the pres.
cnt Congress will be thought of for Presi..
dent in 1880. Party leaders may inspire
them with approval and party organs NAV
extol their party services, but the people of
this country mean to revive thcir long par
alyScd industries, and tho agitator and tho
rcvolutionist are the dcadliost foes of ma
tional peace and business prosperity. When
the time shall como for tho selection of
Presidential candidates, tho question will
not be--Who most cnthused tho galleries
of the Senate or House by violent partisan
harranguesl but the one question will be-
who will most command tho confidence of
the industrial and business Glasses of tho
countryl Business means have peace, and
the next President will bo chosen with
singloness OF purpose to give tranquility to
all sections of the Republic.'
SLuRs ON WoMEN.-Of all evils preya-
lent among young men, we know of none
more blighting in its moral effects than to
speak lightly of the virtues of women:
Nor is there anything in which young men
are so thoroughly mistaken as the low esti.
mato they form of the integrity Of women.
Not Of thoit own mothers and aisters, but
of others, who they forget; arc somebody
else's mothers and sisters. AS rule, no
person who surrenders to this debasine
habit is to be trusted with an enterprise
requiring integrity Of character. Plain
words should be spoken on this point, for
the evil is general one, and deep rooted.
If young men arc sometimes thrown into
the society Of thoughtlcss or depraved
women, they have no more right to measure
all other women by What they see of these
than thoy have to estimate the character of
honest and respectable citizens by the dee
yelopmente of crimc in our police courts.
Let our young men remember that their
chief happiness in life depends upon tho
utter faith in women. No worldly wisdom,
no misanthropic philosophy, nd generalza.
tion, can cover or weaken truth. It stands
like the record of itself-for it is nothing
less than this--and should put an ovcrlast-
ing seal upon the lips that are wont to
speak lightly of women.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

tpAIN in the right side, under the
1 edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
rifelt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism lin the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costivc, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
'ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a, prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
Scvery remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively derapged.
