Intermarriages of Diseases.

From the London Standard
A disease, like the individual in whom
it is located, has genealogy. It has an
ancestry of "morbid condition" all COM
mingled, and transmitted from sufferer to
sufferer, until, "by inherited dispositions,
accommodating and combining in definite
proportions" altering for good or evil,
according to the soil on which it grows,
a new one is produced. This, in a few
words, stripped Of its technicalities and
deprived, unfortunately, also of the
wealth of illustration with which it is &C.
companied, is Sir James Pagets ingen-
ious theory. It's attractions are undeni-
able, its plausibility great, and though
the author, in addressing a professional
audience, forbore deducing a moral,
the lessons which it ire
sistibly suggests are too patent
to escape notice. That children inherit
the courage, cowardice, prodigality, fru-
gality, face, figure, complexion, tone of
the voice, and talents of the parents,
is, of course a truism. Tt is equally GER
tain that diseased parents be7ueath
their frailities to their offspring. Scrof-
l.
rheumatism, govt, insanity, cretinism
and albenism are among the most ia
,niliar of the diseases or defects which
run in families" a craving for alcohol
is recognized "morbus," handed down
from father to son, while listles-ness,
sloth and impractibility are as readily
transmitted as capacity for work and q
clear brain from one generation to an
other. A prudent person hesitates to
marry q consumptlye or q member of
family in which insanity has appeared,
thus acknowledging the soundness of
the data mentioned. Consequently is
believed, and Justly so, to intensity the
risks OF transmission, though only be-
cause there is a chance of near relatives,
such as cousins, being tainted with the
same family trouble. Yet little care is
taken to avoid dangerous ''intermarriages
Of disease" to use the phrase which DIR, ,
benjamin Richardson has so happily
coined. If both parents have q ten
dency to the same malady, the children
can hardly escape. But if cancer and
consumption wed there is scarcely a
hope OF the offspring escaping early
death or lifelong misery from cancer,
lupus, consumption, tuberculosis of the
brain, epilesy, dialects from nervous in
jury, 70 some variation or combination of
all these. The intermarriage of rheuma-
tism and consumption is productive of
hydrocephalus and diseases of the bony
framework of the body, such as hip
Joints disease, so common among weakly
children. The state does not-as in
more heroic age-execice control over
marriage. 1t is, therefore, all the more
imperative, on these who are swayed
for some regard for posterity not to
neglect in marriages every consideration
save those of affection, wealth, position
or social fitness when their own future
sorrow and that of another generation,
are involved in their neglect of the laws
of nature.

Everybody recognizes spring, when it is once
upon US, but many persons are not familiar with
the exact date Of its appearance. Webster, the
world renowned photographer. gives definition
which may not be inappropriate here. Spring,
says he, SIS the season of the year when plants be-
gin to vegetate and rise: the vernal season, COM

FARM AND HOUSE.
Farming MISCELLANY.

The cranberry crop of the United
States in 1922 estimated at 1921 bush
els, against 46l ops bushels in 1SSl-a
falling off of 80 per cent. The yield in
New Jersey was 78, SOY bushels: in New
England, 19l, 1854, Long Island, 1000;
and in the west, 1900 bushels.
Farmers have been doing well, says
"Stockman," and many have some mon
ey TO spare. If they want a safe invest
| ment let them add some more to their
| live stock, and then eby a little extra
work of the head, get enough more feed
out of their land to keep those addition
| al animals. 1t can be done every time.
Black leg IS blood disease, caused
by poverty or plethora. 1t is practically
incurable, becaus, the first indication
generally is the death of the animals. 1t
is easier to prevent it by good and gem
erous feeding, if it has been previously
poor, or by a brisk purgative if the con-
dition is too high. Linseed-cake-meal,
troma pint to quart a day, is useful
addition to the food, and a pound of ep.
som salts would be benefcially given
to a fully grown animal as an Alternative
medicine.
Salt is acid and alkaline as well, and
acts in both ways upon vegetable and
mineral matter in the soil 1t causes
the decomposition of organic matter,
aud also diSsolves sill ates of potash In
the soil, &c, sets free both potash and
nitrogen, and produces plant food. 1t
acts beneticially upon all kinds of soils.
1t is mistake to suppose that it helps
dry soils by absorbing moisture. 1t

A farmer, says the Chicago Times, who

The tame parsnip, Pastinaca equilis, is
quite a different plant from the wild
parsnip, so called, which is named Arch
emora rigida, and the cow parsnip. so
called, which is Heracieum lanatum.
The different botanical names show the
entire diversity of these plants. Guilt
waited parsnips will never become poi
sonous, as these wild plants are, nor will
these wild plants ever become parsnips.
Heracleum lanatum is used in medicine;
the seeds are aromatic. and the root is
so acrid as to blister the skin Archie
mora rigida is the commonly Gale wild
palsnip, and is reported 10 be poisonous,
and probably may be, as it is coarse,
strongly scented, and acrid plant. The
seeds of these wild plants will, of course,

A PHYSICIANS EXPERIENCE.

DR.. R. X Clark, re gular physician of extensive
practice in Grand Isle county, and worthy deacon
of the Congregational Church. at South Hero, VT,
has used Kidney-Wort for several years in his
practice, and before the present proprietors pur-
chased an interest in it, he had given his unbiased
opinion in it's favor. This opinion has not changed
SIT has done better than any other remedy have
ever used" says the Doctor and, further on, he
writes: II do not recollect an instance where the
patient to whom I have given it has failed to re-
ceve benefit from its use and in some severe cases
most decidedly So" These are strong words. They
are from representative, conscientious, ever
approachable public citizen, however, and-better
still-they are true.

ished upon it by its friends-and their name is le
