A New Way to Trea. piph,her,a.

Quite u discovery in the treatment of diphthcria
has been made recently. A young man whose
arm had been ampu,atcd. was attacked with diph-
theria before healing took place; and instead Of
the matter inciden, to the disease being Deposited
In the throat, the greater portion appeared on the
wounded arm. and the diphthcria was very light
and easily managed. The physician in attend
ancc pro,tcd By this, and in the next case Of diph
liberia blistercd his patients chest. and on this
blis,ered part the chief deposit appeared. This
was also an easy case Of the disease. The theory
Is that diphihera usually appears in the throat be-
because Of the thinncss Of the lining Of the throat
Hence, when the blister breaks the skin ON the
other part Of the body, the disease appears there.

Some Information About Our own sta


good many people, and not ill.informed peo-
pls either, seem to know very little about the Pen.
insula, Of which our own State forms about third
part. To them the region indefinitely known Nc
"down country" is rs vague and unreal as were to
the ancients the miles Of tossing main beyond tho
Pillars Of Hercules. Let all such, IL they would
do their whole duty, ut once begin the study Of
local geography. by the time the mist that now
hangs before their eyes shall have cleared away
they will have learned that seven Of Marylands
counties border on Delaware, that two more, Tai
bot and Somerset, do not touch our State at any
point; that two counties Of Virginia, Aceomac and
and Northampton, terminate with n pile Of sand
the Peninsula that has its beginning among the
hills and valleys about our own city. A further
examination will reveal the fact that this country
Is network Of naSigablc Underwater streams,
flowing west into the Chesapeake bay and east into
Delaware hay and the Atlantic Ocean, that the
head-waters OF those streams are separated by n
slight elevation running in n long ridge almost
from end 10 end Of the Peninsula, and known rs
Its backbone that cutting forty miles In length
will join the navigable waters Of these streams nj
almost any point on the Peninsula, and furnish a
great highway for ships from bay TO bay. Further
study Of the map will convince any one that the
country was settled by Englishmcn- glishmcn
who loved their native land, for almost every
siderable town Is the namesake Of some town or
city in the mother country, and M examination
OF the census returns will show that most Of tho
inhabitants the descendants Of the orr.
gnal settlers, Mt least Of persons who have lived
generation or more in this very land. When
this has been learned, and when Il l. known that
this regions already excellent facilities for CON.
