upon putridity-arc induced and ropaga'
ted by these infnitesimal germs
The next point was how to destpy those
oerms ot disease when they foun lodge
ment in patient, and the disctery APP
nears 10 have been made, that subhite of
soda-which has long been knop as a
powerful disinicctant, would destry as if
by magic, the germs Of those pxious
PARASITES which induce such fatal diprders.
Although readily soluble, the hlphite
lacked energy to render it at all mes cf'
fective, and at last it was discoveed that
its combination with Carbolic lcid--a
more powerful antiseptic-woulddo the
work. Combined, the article is called the
Supho- Carboate of Soda. 1t isodorless
and has no unpleasant tase; and
the statement is (after its use in
hundreds of cases, that by its
administration, the blood and issues Of
the human body may be thorough disin-
fectcd without exciting any poisoous ef-
fects by the dose, which is administered
in two grain doses, in half glas water
night and morning
So much for theory Now for tn prac-
teal results as cited in the COMMUNICATION
referred TO- At Montague, Michigai dur
ing the winter of 1877, the scarlet fever
prevailed as an epidemic. IN the fatilies
of James Dalton and three or four his
neighbors, including nineteen Children,
where the sulphocarbolate was uset as
preventive, all escaped the disease, All no
other family had lie like good forum. At
Maplewood, one Of the suburbs of Chicago
the scarlet fever made severe inroads upon
many families; but four or five fam.es in
the midst of the epidemic influence enjoy
ed entire immunity by using this mdicine
as preventive.
From Toledo, Ind, where IN the beginning
of last winter, dlphtheria prevailed o an
alarming extent and the physicians were
powerless, father of family writeslndeT
date of January the 18th, that the Use OF
this remedy had fulfilled all expeditions
as preventive Of the dread disease
In concluding his longand carctulF pre-
pared statement, DR.. Beebee says: 'Fhesc
examples could be multiplied I'D lihtum
but enough has been said to indicat, a
least, that this agent is worth still NOR

HORRORS OF THE HOUSEHOLD.

AND HOW TO SECURE EXEMPTION THERE
FROM.
As scarlet fever and diphtheria are pre-
vaihng TO a considerable extent in some Of
Our nelghboring towns, thought a short
communication on the subject might be ac-
ceptable reading TO the majority Of your
readers.
The late DR.. g. B. Beebee, Of Chicago,
lust before his death, communicated to
the Tribune Of that city, a very interest
ing article in regard to the cure by newly
discovered remedies, Of those terribly de-
structive infantile diseases, dipptheria and
scarlet fever.
1t is only in recent years that the fact
has been established that those diseases are
very contagious; and scarcely anything has
been known as to the processes by which the
contagion is disseminated. The labors Of
Pasteur, the learned French investigator,
who with the aid Of the microscope, was
able to demonstrate that the Torula, or
Yeast plant, upon which the fermentation
of bread and beer depends, is a vegetable
growth, from germs or seeds planted and
springing up, as in other forms
of VEG. table life)-appeared TO have
given the first clue to these investi-
cations, which seem to promise an ability
to the medical faculty, for the first time, to
cope successfully with those formidable
diseases
BY another series Of experiments, I'M
der microscopic scrutiny, il has been found
that most animal tissues exposed to the
atmosphere, would, in two or three days
undergo putriiaction, the microscope re.
vealing at the same time the presence Of
minute living organisms, capable Of mo-
ton and reproduction. These organisms
appeared in every sample of the matter
exposed to the ordinary atmosphere, but
never when the atmosphere in which they
were exposed had been deprived Of al
floating particles of dust; thus proving
, that the seeds or germs Of these minut
organisms of animal life float in the all
, and are sown in animal matter exposed fo
t their reception,
t The next step in the progress of invest
, cation was made by a German name,
Hoch, who carefully studied a disease
, which in Russia and eastern Europe wa

Obstructive. By the microscope he discov

posed to attend, he must, indeed, have the
gift of ubiqmty, The bell rang at the APP
pointed time, and the course was speedily
cleared, but long delay occurred be-
fore the horses came one by one
on the course. After the canter the animals
walked past the tribunes in Indian file, and
having reached the starting-place, to the
right of the weighing ground, the start was
at once given. All round the course, up
the hill, and down again as far as the
straight run home the running was made by
Jourangelle the stable companion oil MI
bienne, followed closely by NJ Foulds
Ayermes, but when they reached the Level
the pack was SO close together that they
might. to use the expressive phrase ] heard
uttered on all sides, have been covered
with handkerchief. The colors of La
grange, Blanc and Fauld were then seen TO
the fore, and Flaws H., Saltiador and MI
bienne, came on so closely together that the
issue seemed doubtful in the extreme. The
struggle indeed was remarkably hard, but
Nubienne succeeded in passing Salteiador
by neck, Flaws II following scarcely a
head behind. Seldom has race been
more holly contested, and, although the re-
suit disappointed the expectations OF the
majority Of spectators, the entrance Of Nj
bienne into the weighing-ground was
greeted by warm applause. AT all events,
the English horse had not carried OIL the
prize, and this was a great consolation to
French losers. Not that Nublenne had not
been backed NJ. Blanc, his owner, has
been so lucky of late that many had faith
in his star.
The other races had little comparative
interest, and Immediately after the Grand
Prize had been run began the gradual re-
turn homeward. To those who left the
course it seemed as though all Pans HAD
come out to meet them. All through the
Bots and all the way up the Avenue de /
Imperatrice one was met by an unbroken
line Of vehicle, private carriages, with Ia
dies who had been afraid of the weather,
being in the majority As to the champs
Elysies, the sight there was really
remarkable, each side Of the pathway being
occupied by people who sat and stood in
rows eight or ten deep. There they sat and
stood patiently for hours, and until the
storm sent all but the bravest flying to
watch the return de courses, and am not
sure that they had not the best Of it. The

gaieties of Mabllle will doubtless prove a

Dlsraeli and Newman.

On most Saturday afternoons in the
last year of the first decade Of the present
century TWO boys, aged respectively nine
and five might have been seen playing in
the grounds of Bloomsbury Square, Lon
don. The boys, both natives of the square,
offered the most complete contrast to each
other in appearance. The younger, whose
head was protuse with long, black, glossy
ringlets, was child of rare Jewish type
Of beauty, and full of life and activity.
The other was grave in demeanor, wore
his hair close cut and walked and talked
and moved in a way which in young peo-
pie is called cold fashioned" He was of
pure English race and Puritanical family.
The names of the children denoted these
differences as much as their appearance.
The one was Benjamin Disraeli and the
other John Newman. Sixty eight years
have passed since then, and much has
happened i'll the meantime, but nothing
more wonderful than that the handsome
little jew boy should have become Chris
tian and Prime Minister of Protestant
England, and the Puritan lad a Catholic
and Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church.
