the room is sufficient to mask it, so that per-
feet silence is necessary, especially when
conclusions OF life or dsath have to be based

CONSOLIDATION OF LUNG IN PNEUMONIA.
Withal we may renew our remark that we
have no desire to start our non-proiessiona|
readers on course of medical practice. All
that has been said has been with the view
of enabling intelligent persons to grasp the
object of the physician, TO assist Instead OF
hindering him. The sounds OF the chest are
so numerous so varied, so complex i'll their
character, and so vital in their Importance
that the art of auscultation is no subject for
the amateur or mere dabbler i'll medicine.
Not one physician in Misunderstanding
of men in general practice-is thorough
master of the science of auscutation. 1t
demands exclusive study, good ear, and
the experience of thousands of cases to
enable physician to indicate with any
approach to certainty the organic changes
going on within the walls of patient S
chest. Bul, taking the general symptoms
as guide, the Indications afforded by aus
cultaton become extremely valuable to all
practitioners.
| The mysterious rapping Of the chest by
the physician is another source of perplexity
to the patient and his friends. Here we
have the application Of the simple principle
by which cooper knows if a cask is full OF
empty and a railroad man tests the sound
ness Of a car axle. III health the lungs con-
tain nothing but air. Therefore if we raj
smartly over the upper ribs we get a cleai
hollow sound of a well-defined pitch oil
mote" as it is professionally termed. L
any part of the lung is soidilied by infiam
nation, as in pneumonia, OF compressed b.
water as in pleuRsy, then the sound pro
ducud by rapping over the diseased spot j
dull, such as would be produced by strikin,
the thigh or any solid organ. Again if tn
lung is eaten into cavities, or the cells ar
over-distended by disease, then the percus
sion note becomes unnatuIally clear am
drum-llke, whence the term 'tympanitic,
used by medical men. In the lungs Of con
sumptive persons we may get all thre
sounds in different parts of the chest. r
the left of the breast-bune and beneath til
left nipple dull sound is heard on percu,
ing the chest Of healthy persons, this bein
due to the presence of the heart, which is
comparatively solid organ.
The Wilmingtonian. (Wilmington, Del.) 1882-188?, 1884-09-20

Medical men can generally judge with
fair accuracy whether or not a person is sui
fering from lung trouble of any kind
inilammatory or chronic-by simply noting
the temperature and the rate of breathing
In all serious cases of chest inflammation
there is fever and the respiration is quick
ened. In children the expansion of the
nostrils in breathing, and sharp white line
on each side Of the corners Of the mouth,
with flushed cheeks, are almost infallible
signs Of inflammation within the chest.
We thus see that there is a certain amount
of common sense in the investigation of the
phenomena Of respiration, as in every other
department Of medical practice. The steth-
oscope has fascination and mystery
about it which led Oliver Wendell Holmes
to compare it to the Trumpet Of Doom, but
after all its chief use is to guard the ear of
the practitioner from contact with the skin
of uncleanly persons, and sometimes for
objects Of dtlicacy which need not here be
particularized.

For The CLABioS.I
Prohibition in Jefferson County.

Public sentiment in regard to the pro-
hibition of the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors is growing in this county. Men
who have always favored the whisky
traffic, and who have aided it by voting
for its presence in their midst, are now
taking decided stand against it, Many
white and some colored voters say that
their names shall never again be found
to a petition for the sale of ardent
spirits.
This county has recently been visited
a second time by Rev J. II. Gambrell,
who had little tilt with Senator
Fabius through the columns of The
CLARION. Mr.. G. is employed by the
State Prohibition Executive Committee,
of which DIR. c. B. Galloway is Chair
man, and their Corresponding and
Financial Secretary, .and he is quite
Jealous and active in promoting the in
terest of the cause which the committee
have espoused. He is thorough gentle
man, and Is well informed upon the sub.
ject Of prohibition. He lately lectured
in Fayette, at Clifton, in Rodney, and
in a colored church near Clifton. three
Of which lectures it was my pleasure TO
hear. His style of speaking is impress
sive, and he always commands good at
tention unless interested parties cause
disturbance.
All who hear these talks are made to
feel that it is to the interest of all citi-
zens to have prohibition. Prohibition
Is shown to be not unconstitutional, and
this Is illustrated by decision of the
State Supreme Court that a Secretary of
State did right in refusing to grant
charter to lottery company on the
ground that lottery is injurious to
morals. On the same ground, a State
may refuse to grant license for the sale
of whisky. The financial aspect of the
question was presented. The benefit of
license revenues to the school fund
would be about sc cents yearly for every
educable child, which would keep each
one in school sac days, and at this rate
every one would be as old as Methuselah
before he learned to spell b-a, ba More
than this, two-thirds of the taxes col
lected by the counties are consumed in
the trial and punishment of crime re-
sulting from the whisky business. There
fore all taxpayers are interested in
stopping it and saving this amount of
taxation. In short, the whisky traffic
benefits few at the expense of the great
majority of the citizens OF every
county.
1t was also shown that the prohibition
friends are seeking to stop the sale of
whisky as a beverage and not as medi
cine, if it has any medical properties,
and that they do not seek to prevent
men from drinking it if they can get it,
but simply to prevent them from selling
it. The good results of prohibition were
presented by reference to written or
published statements from leading citi-
zens in the ten counties which now enjoy
prohibition. These statements all, with
one accord, bear testimony to the fact
that prohibition everywhere inaugurates
a new era of prosperity and good morals.
Thanking you for space to say this
much, and also for your kindness in per
mitting both sides of this question to
have hearing in your paper, l close.

The Stampede From Bull Run.

From the "RecollectiOns of n Pri-
vate, - in the November Century, we
quote the following: THAT was the
fault of the officers who allowed the
baggage wagons to come to the front,
instead of being parked at Centreville.
The stampede and confusion began
among them first. Why, the men were
so little frightened when they began to
fall back in groups scattered through
the fields that | saw them stop fire.
quently to pick blackberries. Fright
ened men don't act in that way. At
Cub Run, between the Stone Bridge
and Centreville, the irresponsible team
stcrs, with the baggage-wagons, were
all crowded together near the bridge,
and were in a desperate henry to cross.
A Rebel battery began dropping sheH
in among them, and thus demolished
some of the wagons and blocked the
way. The confusion and hurry and
excitement then began. The drivers
on the south side, finding they couldn't
cross with their wagons, now began to
cut their traces and mount their horses
and hurry away. Those who drove
baggage-wagons on the safe side of
Cub Run then began to desert them
and cut the traces and shout and gal
lop off. The infantry, seeing this con-
fusion and not understanding the cause
of it, quickened their pace. Soon the
narrow road became filed with flying
troops, horses, baggage-wagons, and
carriages. Then the volunteers began
to throw away their muskets and equip
ments, so as 10 stand an even chance
in the race. Here and there, all along
the route, abandoned wagons had been
overturned and were blocking the way.
One white-headed citizen, an old man,
looking very sorrowful, stood directing
the soldiers on their way to Washing
ton. saving: You d better hurry on, or
tho cavalry will cut off your retreat!'
The houses all along the route were
filled with wounded men, while the
ambulances were filled with officers
fastening to Washington. Soldiers
here and there marched in groups, and
sorrowfully discussed the situation and
its causes. The expression heard on
every side among them was this: Why
were not the reserves brought up from
Centreville to help us?" Why didn't
they bring up the troops from Fairfax
Court Neutrality-suspicious., it seems to
me, hard to answer, even if they did
come from private soldiers running
away from the field of Bull Run"
