Treatment of Consumption.

The Boston Medical and Surgical Jour
nal has published valuable series OF
papers on consumption in New England
written by Dr. Hurd, of Newburyport
We give some of its leading points.
Consumption can be cured in its first
stages, l. e., before liberation has much
progressed. Such cures have been due
mainly to avoidance of the canses-lack
of nourishing food, confined air, etc
Hereditary consumption, and that
which las resulted from facilitating
habits in the parents, are the least cur
able. Our spring months-from their
excessive moisture-are the worst in
the year for all lung complaints.
Various localities are recommended as
health resorts, but those are best which
enable the patient to spend the most
time in the open air, and insure him a
good appetite for an abundance of nour-
ishing food. Such conditions are found
in the bracing air of elevated regions.
But as these regions are cold, a patient
should not be sent there who has not
fair amount of physical resistance. nor
those who are beyond the first stage of
the disease. For these, mild climates
are preferable.
1t is, however, very seldom that
it does any good to send
from home one in whom the disease is
fixed. For persons of limited means.
the most that can be advised is to re-
move from the city to the country, or to
change from indoor to outdoor occu-
patton.
when patients have vigorous appe-
tites and gain in flesh and strength, the
most favorable conditions are secured.
A vigorous appetite and digestion is
worth more than all the expectorants,
and antiseptics, and germicides in the
world. Acting on this principle, the
most skillful physicians avoid cough
and especially opiates
DIR. Hurd advises plenty of meat, raw
or cooked eggs; milk, the more the bet
ter; oysters, with breal and other farm
aceous foods and fruits; cod liver oil,
when the stomach will bear it; cream;
some of the mat extracts; and some
alcoholic stimuIant taken moderately,
to keep digestion at high mark.
He fursher insists on the necessity of
exercise, nopefulness, the
avoidance OF facilitating passions, frie-
ton of the surface and sponging the
body.

murder and r,ynching in Georgia.


Brainridge, Georgia Special Telegram,
Aug. 12.-Joseph Tulford has been lynched
tor the murder of bis wife, and one OF two
negroes whom he hired for $3.50 to assist
him in the foul deed shared a similar fate.
The hideous tragedy exercises the entire
people of southwestern Georgia. The S1.S0
paid by Tulfold 10 Harry Bradley and Reu-
ben Robertson for their sevices in murder
ing his wife was taken from the murdered
woman's effects, and had been earned by
her with her needle during which time she
was confined to her bed. 1t is also learned
that the lyncned murderers carried gourd
and q bucket of water to the creek
where they sunk the body set
the bucket on the bank, threw the gourd
into the creek, and suspended the dead
woman's bonnet from limb near the buCk-
ct in order TO create the impression that
she had committed suicide. When Full
ford was shown the blood-stained body OF
his murdered wife as it lay in the creek, he
attempted faint exhibition of grief and
said he would not have had it happened
for SIS. 1t is now rumored that Fuiford's
father is party to the crime. If the rumor
develops into truth he will withou doubt
share the fate of his accomplices.

The meeting in St Paul of some TWEEN
ty-five gentlemen, dignified as the Ma
tional Forestry Congress, was not pro-
ductive of great results, though the pa
pers presented and the discussion there
on we're interesting to listeners, they
were altogether too wordy and difIuse
for popular approval. Dr. George B.
LOring, commissioner of agriculture,
was elected president, and the record
ing secretary was taken from the Dis
trict of Columbia-two selections that
will probably ally the organization
more closely to the department of agri-
culture. The proceedings will be pub

mediately interested in awakening pub
lie sentiment to the importance of for
estry work will find therein much ma
terial for thought and action.
