Salt for the Human System.

I.hc London Lancet combats tho
folly OF some wouId.be improvors
on GaIcn, who dccry the use of salt
as food condlmcnt because it is q
mineral. The Lancet says that com.
mon salt, chloride of sodium, Is the
most widely distributed substance
in the body; 1t exists in every fluid
and IN every solid not only is ev.
crywhoro present but in almost ov-
cry part it constitutes tho largest
portion Of the ash when any tissue
Ms burnt In particular it is a con-
slant constituent Of tho blood, and
it maintains in it a proportion that
ia almost wholly independent Of tho
quantity that is consumed with tho
food. Tho blood will take up so
much and no more, however much
we may take with our food, and, on
tho other hand if none be given,
tho blood parts with rts natural
quantity slowly and unwiIIIngly.
Nothing can demonstrate ITS value
boltcr than the fact that il albumon
without salt Ia introduced into tho
intostincs of an uoimaL no portion
Of it is absorbed whilo 1t all quick.
~ disappears if salt be added. Tho
conclusion therefore is obvious that
salt, bong wholesome, and indeed
necessary, should DO taSon in mod.
cratic quantities, and that nbstention
from ID is likoly to DO injurious

Wonderful Statement.

The following from the Knoxville
Tribune will be read with interest:
Mrs. w. G, Newly, of Maryville,
has for three years been deprived of
the power of speech. For two years
she consulted many physicians and
spent much money in the hopes Of
regaining her speech or obtaining
some relief from her terrible Attic
ton. She despaired of ever being
any better, and for the last year has
had no medical assistance. She is u
member of the Society of Friends,
Or what is generally known as a
Quaker. Last Thursday Mrs. New
by resolved to call upon the Lord,
and in faith ask Him to restore her
speech. She went down into the cell
lar and began to pray fervently. She
prayed long and earnestly. She prom
lSed the Lord that II ne would dellV~
or her from affiiction, that she would
ever bless His name and proclaim His
praises. Immediately she began to
sing "Praise God from whom all
blessings fow.' She came up from
the cellar singing and has since had
perfect use of speech.
These facts are vouched for by
scores of the best people of Mary
vile. At least they know that the
woman has been dumb for years and
can now talk.
Our informant is Mr.. j. w. Gull
ton, editor of the Maryville Watch
man.
