A Cure For Consumption.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
An enthusiastic young surgeon of New
York feels absolutely sure that transfu-
sion of blood from the arterial system of
healthy young person into that of one
suffering from pulmonary consumption
or tuberculosis, will, if persisted in, COM
plete a cure. He says: 'Of course, the
idea is not new, but [ firmly believe that
TRANSMISSION of blood is the true remedy
for consumption an the diseases allied to
it" He intends, if he has the opportu-
nifty, to test it in leprosy. His first ex-
pertinent was undertaken four months
ago, in the case of a young man of
twenty-three, the only son of a wealthy
dry goods dealer, who was so far gone
with the disease, that medical consulta-
ton had pronounced recovery hopeless,
and death only a question of few
weeks. The patient was so exceedingly
feeble when the first transfer was under
taken that only four ounces were trans
fused, in consequence of the disturbance
of the action of the heart that immedi-
ately ensued. The recrudescence of the
vital energies was, however, extraordi-
nary From the date, almost from the
moment, of the experiment the patient
began to improve. The tendency to
emaciation disappeared, and the pulmo-
nary symptoms were greatly reduced in
| severity. Relish for food returned, and
the nervous prOstratiOn was greatly re-
| heved. Three weeks later the operation
was repeated with six ounces of blood,
the method employed being that of Prof.
Joseph w. Howe, the leading advocate
of TRANSMISSION in the United States. The
results of the second experiment We're
more encouraging than those of the
first. Three transfusions have been un-
dertaken, and the young man is now
improving so rapidly, both in general
health and local symptoms, that the
young surgeon is confident of success
without another resort to the TRANSMISSION
! syringe.

Prince Bismarck is no admirer of elo-

tlemen," he says, ''as with ladies who
have small feet. They wear boots which
are much too tight and always try to
show their feet. So if anybody has the
misfortune to be eloquent, his speeches
are too long and too frequent.
