The Germs of Malaria.

The more we know Of the causes OF any
particular form Of disease the more likely
we are to discover how to cure 1t. Such Is
the common notion, and we believe 1t is con-
firmed by the experience Of men Of science.
The particular form Of disease which peo-
pie have become accustomed to speak Of as
malaria is mysterious In it's origin. Whether
1t occurs except as tho result Of miasmatic
exhalatlons may be doubted. Physicians
now class malarious affections together as
paludal diseases, so called from the Latin
word pal,ls, signifying marsh. Having en-
deavored In vain to detect any organisms in
the atmosphere to which these characteris-
tic fevers might be attributed, they have
lately looked for the germs OF contagion in
the blood OF the patients; and here, says tho
London Lancet. tho search appears at last to
be near q successful issue.
The investigation has been conducted by
two French psychologists, LAvERAN and
RICHARD. They find peculiar parasite in
the blood OF persons suffering from malaria.
1t is invariably present in such cases, but
has not been discovered In any other disease.
1t inhabits the red corpuscles Of the blood,
leaves them when fully developed, and after
about an hourRf Independent life apparently
perishes. Each corpuscle tenanted by one OF
these organisms seems to be rendered heavy
and less mobile by its presence, and as mil
lions Of corpuscles are thus affected during
the height Of the disease, the enfeebled cir
culation which is 80 frequent q symptom
may be accounted for by this action Of the
parasites in clogging the blood. When we
learn, also, that dilute solution OF Quinine
quiets and seems to kill these characteristic
germs, we are still more inclined to regard
them as true causes OF malarious disease.
The next question is, Where do they come
from2 Our learned medical contemporary
does not yet extend its inquiry as far as that,
but 1t is q question which will probably be
answered In the future. The doctors are
already suggesting the prevention Of pull
monary consumption by process akin to
vaccination. We shall not be surprised il ere
long they propose to protect people against
malaria in some similar way. Is 1t not COM
ing to be the cardinal principle of preventive
medicine to inoculate everybody with all dis
eases in the mildest possible form, in order
thus to ward off more malignant attacks2

Seekers After Health.

Unfortunates who are seeking to renew
their health, are many. So often have
they been deceived by the advertisements
of worthless compounds, that they are dis
eouraged, and refuse to believe anything
they read in the papers. Therefore, the
best advertisement of really good medi-
cine is the reputation it has gained in pla-
ces where it is being sold. No other re-
medy ever discovered has grown so rapidly
in public favor as that true medicinal tonic
called Browns Iron Bitters In localities
where its extraordinary merits have become
fully known and realized by those who have
been in iHhealth, the sale is unprecedented.
One druggist in our city reports the sale of
23S bottles in one week. 1t Is, indeed, a
wonderful health giving, life-saving pre-
paration. 1t is soothing and refreshing in
its effect, and strengthens every part of the
body, and creates healthy appetite ard Oh

destroyed by the many hurtful cathartics
so commonly used. Reader bewarel duty

CITY BONDS.

Mayor Carse arrived from New York
last night where he was called to assist in
the sale of $25, 900 OF water work bonds.
He states that the bonds were sold at par,
and the only question asked by the pur.
chasers was as how the interest on the
same was required to be paid.
It appears that the new series of bonds
were numbered in different order from that
customary in such small total and this
raised the question of interest and its pay
ment which was answered to the salts
faction of the purchasers.
The Mayor had in his possession the
state law and city ordinance duplicates to
such cases. and that settled any doubts as
to the legality of the case.
