sulphurous acid and soda. When this
is taken into the human system the
soda unites with something else
and the sulphurous acid is liberated
right where it a do the most good.
This sulphite of soda he has used
with marvellous effect here on this
mountain in preventing scarlet fever,
which is another germ disease. That.
fever broke out here among the boys,
one of whom was taken sick. He at
once put the whole school on the
prophylactic of sulphite and soda, and
not another case occurred among the
students, some two hundred in all;
but there we're seyenty-fve cases In
DR.. Elliott's practice outside of the
college. In one family where there
we're eight children one of them
was taken sick, the balance
we're put at ono on sui
phite of soda, and not another n
of the children had the fever. But a
little girl who visited the house one
day was taken sick. She had not been
taking the sulphite Of soda.
Numerous incidents of this kind
have confirmed DR.. Elliott in his be-
lief that it would be of great service
as a preventive of all diseases that
come from a germ, as yellow fever is
supposed to do. He says it is abso-
lutely harmlessan acts as a tonic, and
people will get fat taking it.
Now, with all this array of facts |
was induced to solicit the prescription
to send to you, thinking it might be Of
service:
r. l ounce sulphite of soda, quart
of rain water. Dissolve the soda in
the water and as a dose one table
spoonful three times a day for all over
three years of age under three years,
a desert-spoonful three times a day, in
half a glass Of water.
If | we're you, | would not hesitate
to give this regularly, and from this
time on, to all the children not sick.
If it don't ward of the attack, it will
make it lighter.
DR.. Elliott is a man standing high
in his profession. He is employed by
the New Orleans school of medicine
to deliver lectures there every winter,
on account of his abilities soyou can
see this is not the newborn theory Of
a country doctor.

special to the Times says: Louisville
and Nashville stock, which was quoted
two or three days ago at I'M, has run
this morning as high as 1870. There
are two statements current in regard
toits advance. One is that there issoon
to be declared a dividend of 100 per
cent. The other and more probable
rumor is that an arrangement has
been perfected with Cole, of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad,
by which he is brought into amicable
relations with the Louisville and
Nashville people, and that all his
roads will be run in harmony with it.
1t is believed that the Louisville and

The Victorian KeYieM.

We are in receipt from the far-Off
land Of Australia, OF the december
number Of the Victorian Review, pub
lished in the city of Melbourne and
edited. by H. Mortimer Franklin.
There are four agencies in this coun-
try, including D. Appleton & Co, of
New York, and HOughton, 0sgood &
Company, of Boston. The price per
number is g sd, or about 621 cents.
This review, coming from a new coun-
try, Of which the American people
know so little is a literary surprise.
As in some of our reviews and maya
zines, the names of contributors are
signed to their articles. These we
ihd to be, in point Of learning, style
and vigor of thought, fully up
to the matter Of the best American or
British monthly or quarterly periodi-
Gals. Several of these papers relate
TO the politics or local affairs of Aus
tralia and are full of ripe thought
and exceedingly interesting informa-
ton which would be read with pleas
ure wherever the English language is
snoken. One of these is: Notes from
~
4 journal Of Exploration in Western
Australia which is as fascinating as
any of the stories Of SANKEY'S travels
in the heart Of equatorial Africa.
Other articles deal with more general
topics which concern the whole religi-
GUS and civilized world, and evince
scholarship Of the highest order. We
might mention some of these as /:
Agricultural Distress in England, .
bv Edward Dicey, of London; THE
Bible in State schools" by Rev. Alex.
Gasman; the "Plebiscote in Defence"
by Arthur Lloyd Windsor; 'Civiliza-
ton without Delusioa," by the bishop
of Melbourne; and Edmond About"
by David Blair. This review is an
evidence Of the wonderful progress
that civilization has made in this wild
land in a comparatively short time.
Australia is a wonderful country, and
the people are enthusiastically loyalto
the mother country and it is no doubt
to their interest to be so. All who
attended the Paris exposition in 1875
were astonished at the display made
by Australia, under the direction o.
Mr.. Levy, NJ. p, and other indeiati
gablecOmmissioners Nextto England
display, underth the direct management
IL. R. H., the Prince of Wales, thi
department received most attention
and fostering care at the hands of tn,
British government. This made
favorable impression upon the repre-
sentatives Of all countries and empha
sized the fact that England is prou,
of her colonies all the world over AM
that they are loyal to the crown
There was policy and craftsmanship i
this as well as justice. But to rever
to the Victorian Review, it is a mar
vellous sighn Of the progress of tn
times to see a publication which look
like it might have been issued i
London or Edinboro, coming from
new and remote country which tn
old world and America knows so littl
about.
