or eye ache. Collie was another horrible
agony. They had always within their
reach for relieving such pains-hot water.
Water blood warm, or a little warmer,
allowed to flow gently into the ear, or
applied to the face or other aching part
was the best means of alleviating severe
pain. Make the application continuous
until the proper object of securing rest
for the patient is attained and then cover
the face with some warm material.
Until the patient began to complain of
the heat of the cloths, stepped in hot
water, applied to him, do not desist. The
best thing was to have wringer near
the afflicted one and, after dipping the
cloths in very hot water, apply the cloth
to his face or body.
Medicines for alleviating pain were
generally charged with opium, about
which a great outcry was made. OF
course, it would be very dangerous to
give opium in its pure state, unless by
medical direction. Medicines that had
some opium in them were generally the
best. Dover powder, ipecac, and pare
in any excess. Care should always be
taken not to give overdoses.
The lecturer then devoted himself to
the subject of mineral poisons. They
had been taught that when an alkai
poison was taken the remedy was an
acid, and when the latter was taken the
antidote is an alkali. Unfortunately,
however, although the principle was
correct, there was not time to apply such
remedies in most cases. Where acids
were taken, nature generally relieved
the patient by acting as an emetic. If
they are not vOmited immediately, the
best thing to do is to give the patient
plenty of water to dilute the poison in
the stomach. IF the stomach needs any
aid to. repel the poison, tepid water,
plentifully taken, will lead to the desired
result.
In cases of arsenic poisoning, milk and
raw eggs were two good remedies.
Cloral, chloroform, strychnine, and poi
sons of that kind poisoned the blood and
should be expelled by the vomit. Itwas
rather an unpleasant subject, but plain
speaking was necessary. Warm water,
and the foreinger introduced into the
throat produced decided emetical effect.
A table spoonful of mustard, in a pint
of water, was an excellent emetic, al
though a horrible dose to take. The
great object was to prevent the poison
getting into the blood from the stomach.
Chloroform was not nearly as deadly as
many people supposed-with people who
are used to taking it, but those who are
not so accustomed are easily affected by
it. Plenty of strong coffee was good
thing in cases of poisoning soporifics,
and the patient should be kept walking
around until the effects of the overdose
wear off. Otherwise he may fall into a
slumber from which he may never be

CLIMATE AND CoNsUMPToN.-A
writer in the Medical Journal makes
some definite assertions concerning the
influence of climate on pulmonary dis
eases. No zone, he declares, enjoys en-
tire immunity from pulmonary con-
sumption; moreover, the popular belief
that phthisis is common in cold climates
is fallacious, and the idea, now so prev
alent, that phthisis is rare in warm eli
mates is as untrue as it is dangerous;
the disease causes large proportion of
deaths on the sea shore, the mortality
diminishing with elevation up to GER
tain point; altitude is inimical to the
development of consumption, owing
chiefly to the greater purity of the at
mosphere in elevated situations, its free
dom from organic matter and its rich
ness in ozone; moisture arising from a
clay soil, OF due to evaporation, is one
of the most influential factors in its pro-
duction; dampness of atmosphere pre-
disposes to the development of the dis
ease, but dryness is of decided value.

A Bankrupt Tribunal.

That the Supreme Court of the
United States is utterly debauched and
demoralized there can be little doubt.
That it is a miserably partisan organi-
zation there is abundant proof, and
now, as if to add to the weight of
odium which has sunk it to soundless
contempt, it is charged that its deci-
sions are g given out privately, so that
those informed can speculate upon
them. In commenting upon this mon
strous outrage. the New York San re-
marks that among the scandals of
the times, none is greater than that
every Judgment of the Supreme Court
involving great corporations or specu-
lations, has been made known to in
terested parties before being formally
delivered in public. The decree in the
case of the Pacific railroads. by which
the interest on the bonds advanced by
the United States was made payable
with the maturity of the debt, was
known to Jay Gould and his associates
ten days before it was read in court.
Millions changed hands on that oc-
casion, and the beneficiaries had the
advantage of inside information. 1t is
absurd to suppose that these things
happen by eavesdropping about the
consultation-room; and to charge the
offense on subordinates, who cannot in
the nature of things be guilty, is a
despicable resort. The Court has long
known that the leak il among the
Judges themselves, and although the
fact is not now susceptible of legal
proof. there is little moral doubt
as to the person who wears the soiled
ermine. When Judges are appointed
to reverse the decisions of their own
court, to stultify its record in the inter-
est of huge corporations, and to sane
ton fraud by refusing to hear testi-
mony, as Miller and Strong and Brad
ley did on the Electoral Commission. is
it surprising that confidence in the in
tegrity of the tribunal should be
shaken, or that an upright Judge like
David Davis should retire from such
contact? The Court is demoralized
and sadly needs reconstruction. With
Grantism restored to power, it would
become an instrument of vulgar despotic
rule, and an authority for the over
throw of free government. The next
President will, in all human probabil-
ity, have the appointment of five
Judges in the first two years of his term
of office''
There is no mistaking the significance
of such condition of affairs. 1t is ON
record that the Court of highest and
last resort is bankrupt in everything
which entities it to the respect and CON
fdence of the people. Blinded by par
tisan fealty, it has become part of the
Republican machine, and is ready to do
its bidding. That is bad enough; but
when its decisions affecting large inter-
ests are disposed of to influence opera
tions in stocks, as in the case of the
Missouri Pacific Company (Which was
known in New York four days before it
was announced from the bench), every
citizen has a right to be alarmed and to
denounce the outrage. 1t is high time
that the Republican party was ousted
from power in every department of the
vernment.-I'1dia7a0 State Sentinel.

The Republican party has never
before been SO seriously distracted by
dissensions as at the present time. A
very considerable minority of the party
do not desire the nomination of General
Grant, and will not support him in any
contingency. An equally large minor
ity oppose Blaine, and will fight him to
the bitter end. The prospect is,
therefore, that the Chicago Convention
will have but two alternatives-th GER
tainty of defeat with Grant as a candi-
date and the certainty of defeat under
the leadership of Blaine. This is not
very comforting, it must be admitted,
but the fact is self-evident.

Expressions on the TwO-Thirds Rule.

Each of the three Democratic State
Conventions thus far held for the selec-
ton of delegates to the National Con-
vention has declared itself in favor of the
rule requiring two-thirds vote of the
National Convention for the nomination
of candidates for President and Vice
President. When the last National
Convention was held there was strong
sentiment in favor of the abrogation OF
the rule; but candidates were nominated
in accordance with it, and the Conven-
ton went no further than to recommend
that the State Conventions for the selec-
.tion of delegates to the National Con-
vention of 1880 give expression to their
views respecting the advisability of the
retention or abrogation of the rule.
The expressions in Rhode Island, Ne
braska and Iowa and the sentiments ex-
pressed in other States where there has
been some discussion of the question,
show widespread feeling in favor OF
the old rule. This feeling is no doubt
largely due to the belief prevalent
among Democrats that it is this year
especially advisable to have candidates
who can command the cordial support
in Convention of at least two-thirds of
the whole number of delegates, and that

favor of candidates, as show in the
nominating Convention, they are GER
tain to receive an earnest and united
Democratic support.
The Republican National Convention
has always been governed by the ma
jority rule. If the two-thirds rule pre-
vailed, the nomination of either Grant
or Blaine at Chicago would be impos-
sible. Neither of them, with the op-
position which is expressed to their
candidacy, could possibly secure two
thirds of the entire Convention. This
is none the less true, although, in the
event of Grants nomination, it is not
unlikely that he will be selected by
what may appear to be an overwhelm-
ing majority. This, however, will be
because it will be settled beforehand
that he has the necessary majority in
the Convention, in which case all but
the very stoutest of his opponents
will waive their opposition and en-
deavor to give the nomination as much
of the "hurrah character as they
can. But if two-thirds were necessary,
they would hold out to the end and
thus prevent the nomination.-Detroit

Indian TrOut.Flies.

At meeting of the Academy of

used by the Indians of Kings River, in

had supposed that civilized people were
the only ones familiar with this method
of decoying the wary Salnao .tontimalts,
but the Indians probably used it before
it was invented among us. The hook is
now made from pieces of old iron, but
before the coming of the whites to this

deer. The fly, OF more properly the cat
erpillar, is obtained from the 'swart'' of
the deer. This . ''wart'' is the same as
that of the horse, a horny excrescence
on the inside of the forelegs, Just above
the knee, but differing from that of the

hairs, growing upward instead of down.
These hairs are attached to the hook, and
