IIlnllillcrla.

The New York Times publishes an
article, written by DR.. Kerr of Pitts
burgh, concerning the true nature of
diphtheria. The pith Of the paper is
condensed in a Times editorial, from
which the following is taken:
Whatever my be the nature Of the
discase-a floating germ in the air, or
even false membrane in the thrput-in
its early stage the disorder is purely To-
cal. The membrane, which j. ordinarily
spoken of as a fungus can be removed by
local application. DR.. Kerr suggests a
rather powerful lotion Of hydrochIoric
acid and glvccrine. But the moment the
membrane forms the Iatentis threatened
with another aud far more dangerous
mIladv. While the process in the tom
sils is going on virulent poison is dis
TILED in the neighborhood. This secre-
tion, an insignificant amount of which is
sufficient To impregnate the system, pass
es from the throat into the stomach. pro-
during acute gIstrtis, and thence into
the circulation. The system becomes
much depressed; the action of the heart
and brain is lowered, ordinarily, 10 the
verge, and sometimes 10 the worst con
dtion, Of paralysis, and the patient dies.
not, as is supposed, from asphyXia, caused
by the stOppage Of the air passage, but
from the presence ola yirulent poison in
the blood, which impedes the bodily
functions and quencheS the activity OF
the vital orglns. The patient is in this
additional plight, that his system cannot
without prOpcr treatment receive rein
forccmcnt in the way Of new tissue, for
the stomach, being greatly intlamcd, Is
unable to aSsimilate food for the rcplen-
ishment of the waste that has taken
place or restore energy to throw off the
poison. But the moybid conditions once
thoroughly understood treatment TO cor
respond should not be hard 10 find, and
DR.. Kerr meets the symptoms with appro-
pirate remedies. He dctachcs the false
membrane by using the wash above
nlmed; puts into the stomach n single
chemical preparation, cacincd magnesia,
to combine with and neutrJliZc the diph-
thereto poison, and gently remove it
through the natural channels. This pre-.
vents it passing into the circulation.
Meantime he supports the patient upon
nutritious and non-irrtaut food, until
the crisis Of the disorder is reached, when
wine, or, if necessary, whisky and bran
dv are cOpiOuslv administered to aid in
eliminating the impurities and throwing
off the clutch that threatens b choke the
life out of heart and brain, and with care
and attention the tone returns the poison

A Morocco Railway.

An Algerian correspondent of the PGH
Mall Gazette, under date of the 10th in
slant, sends the following interesting
communication concerning a new over
land route, via Spain and Morocco from
Paris TO Algiers: The celebrated lion
hunter Bombonnel has just laid before
the government a scheme for obyiating
the disagreeable passage Of the Gulf Of
Lyons which prevents so many tourists
from wintering in Algeria. Before
planning a r1ilway 10 Tmbuctoo," lie
says. "for heavens sake give MS one
through Morocco and Oran, thus doing
away with the sea voyage from Mar
seilles TO Algier." The scheme, which is
very fsvorably spoken of by the press, is
given forth in detail by the protector,
who shows that there are really no diff
iiculties in the way that may not be sur
mounted. The line to be taken through
Morocco would traverse a country with
out ravines or mountains. The inhahi-
tants are laboriOus, and would favor the
undertaking, as il is greatly TO their in
terest; the only sea passage would be n
quarter Of an hour at Gibraltar. The ex-
tent of the railway to he laid down is
only 500 kilometers and the cost is reck-
oned at a hundred million francs. This
project, says the Monitetr d'Algaie, of the
famous panther--layer is simple and
practicable, and the wonder is that it has
never been thought of before.
