few questions of the day put to
our reporters: What is the news?
How many new cases? How many
deaths? Do you think it will be-
come an epidemic? Why do you
think so? Have you seen any
cases of yellow fever? Don't you
think we will have no epidemic?
Do you think all the case are re-
ported by the doctors? How many
cases are there in the city? Are
YOU going to stay here? Would it
be safe for me to stay out in the
country few miles from the city?
Is the fever milder than that of last
year? Do you think so and so will
die? Is there any real yellow fever
in the city? Why don't you go
away? Would it be dangerous for
me to stay here until tomorrow?
When will a steamboat arrive go
ING I'D the river? Will the trains
be running tomorrow? Will the
steamboat be crowded? Can l get
a half fare ticket? Can get free
mass from DR.. Porter? Where can
oct a medical certificate? Who will
give it to me? Put personal in
the paper saying have gone to
=. take your paper, and you
ought not to charge me anything
for a personal. Give a good long
personal, something funny. Send
me a paper occasionally. What's

periods of exhaustion and of ner-
vous irritation, which, without its
aid, would rack them and almost
wreck them. In fact, quinine is
simply tremendous tonic. 1t has
no particular curative property
using cure In the sense commonly
given to it. In this respect it is
not like mercury. 1t works its
wonders by giving the system
great power of resistance. That
evil influence to which a patient
without it would at once succumb, he
is able to resist and to throw off by
sufficient doses of quinine. 1t is
thus that it operates in influenza.
Taken promtly when the symptoms
first begin 10 show themselves, it
very rarely fails to hold the patient
up against the attack. OF late the
apothecary's price for this invalu
able remedy has been two cents a
grain, not three, as a large dealer is
reported to have said yesterday;
but this price made the use of it so
expensive that it was limited to
those who were in comfortable cir
cumstances. The consequences of
the removal of the duty will prob
ably be that ere long its cost will be
reduced quite one half, to the great
benefit of the whole community.

New Uses Of Quinine.

Apropos to the removal of all du-
ties on the Importation of quinire,
which ranks among the necessaries
of life in the malarial districts of
the South, the New York Times
says it is in the range of its efficacy
that the great advance has been
made in the use of q1inine, and that
advance has been within very late
years. 1t has come greatly into use
In neuralgia, and all nervous, hys-
terical and spasmodic diseases. 1t
is used to break up periodiclty In
diseases of all sorts. 1t is found to
be an invaluable prophylactic or
preventive in influenza or cold In
the head. 1t is used with great effect
in certain cases of hypochondria,
melancholia, and of late has even
come into favor as n wash for what
is called external use," although
for internal organs. In short, it
has become a necessity of life.
Some persons, even some physi
clans, seem to regard it in the light
of a highly concentrated, beneficial
food; and it is yet possible that we
may see it set upon the table like
salt, to be used by those who feel
the need of it. To women it has
become really the staff of life; at
their weakest times they lean upon
it, and it carries them kindly through
