Concerning Diphtheria.

In spite of the careful study that ha,
been given TO the disease, diphtheria
must IT'LL be clsssed As an unex plainable
physical disorder. For long time it
was supposed to be of modern origin,
but medical research has shown that
there is good reason for thinking that it
prevailed with deadly effect in India as
long ago as 600 B. c., and that the fatal
epidemic, csllsd in the Talmud
sskara," was essentially dlphtheritic
10 its character. But from this time
forward to the seveteenth century there
is no di,ease described with which it can
be compared. At that time there was
many deaths from this cause; but it ap
pears to have made complete leap over
the eighteenth century, and not to have
been taken into professional account un.
til about twenty years ago. Since that
time, 1858, 1t has been intermittent in
its severity, when any given locality is
concerned, though it has never disap-
peated, with this and other large coun-
tres are taken into account. What reg,
ulates its coming and its going is, how.
ever, an unsolved mystery
Or the nature of the disease itself the
same uncertainty exists, some physicians
chasing it with the very common disor-
der known rs cruup, while others, OF
seemingly equal authority, maintain
that there Is no connection between the
tw,. Indeed, almost as much is learned
by what it does not do ~ by what il
does. In this way it has been repeatedly
shown that it is governed by family or
constitutional attractions, since, when
one member Of family has 1t, other
members of the household are much more
liable TO be attacked by it than friends
or nurses who are not related by blood
ties, even though the exposure in the
latter case should be greater an in the
former. In view OF the number o cases
of sickness from this cause in this city
at the present time, says New York
paper, it would be well TOR ali to bear
this lsst.named circumstances in mind
tor the frequency with which two or
more members OF family die within a
shWt time from this disease, is one OF its
most painful features. Il is, at least,
satisfactory TO know that the number
who recover Is now much larger than it
once was, for in ancient times it was
styled an incurable complaint while the
present rate OF m rtality IRON this cause
is less than forty per cent. OF those who
suffer from i. The tact o. its comp ete
sb-ence through long terms OF year, GER
tsinly indicates its possible preveu tabi.,
ity, and in these days OF enlightened
medical re-earch 1t will be strange II
some way ia not discovered Of stamping
it out AS sffectually as smsll.pox has
been eradicated.

The following simple rules for preserv'
ing health and promoting comfort, il
not new 20 some o. our readers, are none
the less important t, every one;
The object of brushing the teeth is to
remove the destructive particles of food
which, by their decomposition, gener
decay. To neutrslize the acid resulting
from the chemical change Is the object
of dentrifce. A stiff brush should bt
used after every meal, and q thread o.
silk floss or India rubber passed through
iood Rinsing the mouth in lime water
neutralizes the acid.
Living and sleeping in room in which
the sun never enters Is slow orm OF
suicide. A sun bath is the most refresh
ing and life-giving bath that can posi-
bly, be taken.
Always keep the feet warm, and thus
avoid colds. To this end, never sit in
damp shoes or wear foot covering fitting
or pressing closely.
The best time TO eat fruit i. half an
hour before breakfast.
A full bath should not be taken less
than three hours after q meal. Never
drink cold water after bathing, Do not
take cold bath when tired.
Keep box of powdered starch on the
wa-hstand and after washing, rub a
pinch over the hands. 1t will prevent
chsppiDg.
II feeling cold before going to bed, ex
ercise; do not roast over fire.

Occupation and Health.

DR.. Richardson, speaking on health
and lie, says: "The most startling
fact OF all in reference to occu patton and
health is that which is told OF the inn
keepers and publlcans. This class of the
community is real y at the lowest of the
vital scale. The cause, unhappily, i.
nat diff uli toj li-cover. There i.fnothine

which makes great demand on the ph ysi.

or rope maker. y 1t Is not an occu
patton which brings those who follow it
to the miseries OF want and starvation.
Why, then, is it, the occupation most

simply told. The occupation is the one
most nearly allied to alcohol. This

those who are the di pensers of it."

Adyiee ca Cousum mere.

The eeiebrsted physician, DR.. Paul Ne
meyer, gives the following valuable sugees
rions to persons sufering from lurg sfec
lions: "The patient must, with tcrupulous
conscientiousness, insist upon breathinp
fresh, pure air, and must remember that the
air Of close rooms Is always more or less
bad. No man, however unclesnly,
would drink muddy, dirty water. A party
which occupies room for hours, breathing
the same air, might be compared to a party
of bathers drinking the W ter in which they
osthe. The patient must keep the window
of his bedroom open. Night mir is frt sh air
without daylight. In close, crowded rooms,
the patient suffering from lung complaints,
breathes copsumptively." By taking these
precautions and using DIR. Pierce's Golden

complaints would be cured in six months
