ACUTE SYNOViTlS,
The Philosophy of This Distressing Disease
and It's Cure.

The Philosophy of This Distressing Disease
and Its Cure.
AS the chest cavity is lined with a
membrane that secretes a fluid. to keep
the parts soft and moist, and to pre-
vent friction between the chest and the
lungs, so the joints are lined with a
similar membrane, for a similar pur-
pose. This membrane is called aserous
membrane and it lines all closed cavi-
ties, j. O., such as do not open directly,
or indirectly, upon the surface. The
cavities which do so open are lined
with mucous membrane. The men,
brane which covers the cartilage Of the
joints is specifically called the synovial
membrane. Synovtis is inflammation
of this membrane.
1t may be due to blow. or to strain,
or some other direct injury; or to long
standing; or to some other disease, as
rheuma tism, for instance. 1t is more
common in the knee Joint, as this is
more exposed.
In acute Synovitis the membrane is
tn ckened, the parts beneath swell, and
the serious fluid is greatly increased in
quantity. causing a bullying around the
knee. There is also severe sharp pain
(Which is increased by the least move
ment), and more or less fever. II the
Inflammation is very intense the fluid
becomes purulent, and forms an ulcer;
and the fever is much severer. A stiff
joint may result. or even amputation
become necessary to save the life.
Within few years DR.. Martin, of
Chicago. introduced the method of
treating synovitis of the knee-joint by
bandaging it with pure rubber, wind
ing the bandage. as tightly as could be
borne with comfort. from the foot to
above the knee. To prevent chatting
when walking, the joint, for three
inches above and below the patella, ia
strapped with non-irritating rubber
plaster. The bandage is to be worn
from four to six weeks, day and night.
Comfort and support are at once ex-
perienced, and soon the effused fluid is
absorbed and the limb restored to
strength and use. In case the amount
of fluid is large, this should first be
trawn off by aspiration.
DR.. Martin before his sudden death
treated over four hundred cases in this
way. His son, who was associated
with him, says: ''In the last twelve
years over two hundred cases have been
treated by aspirat on, with a single
strapping of the joint. and subsequent
use of the bandage. In all these cases,
excepting very few in the early stages
of treatment, the patient was not only
permitted, but obliged, to take daily
and considerable amount of walking
exercise. In not single instance has
there been q failure of absolute and
entire cure, requiring in one case sew
enteen weeks. but in no other more
than eleven weeks. - Youths COM

The Custodian of GouId's Secrets Prac-
teal Joker.
Giuseppe P. Morosini the custodian
of Jay Goulds secrets and the guar
dian of the latter's private papers, is a
great practical joker. If he ever stuck
a PIN in Mr. Gould's chair, Gould did
not let on, but Morosini is no respecter
of persons in his fun. Once when there
was a Union Pacific meeting at Gould's
old office. at No. so Broadway, Moro
sini found time hanging heavily on his
hands. At last a happy thought came
to him. He cut pile of newspapers
in strips and stuffed the bands of the
astute directors hats with them. When
Sidney Dillon, F. l.. Ames. and the
other gentlemen came to put on their
hats, they found them too small. Each
man tried on every hat in the lot, and
confusion and wonderment prevailed
until Morosini's little pleasantly was
discovered. When Morosini was
Treasurer of the New Jersey Southern
Railroad he had no money to handle,
for the reason that the company
had no funds. A great many
bills were due the 1st of

prepared for the event. When the day
came it brought with it great crowd
of persons who had bills to present.
Morosini had seen to it that no file was
built and that the windows were opened
and nailed so that they could not be
closed. He went out to see if he could
raise some money, and left the crowd
&c be frozen out. The experiment was
a success.
Morosini has a hobby. 1t is the col
lection of antiques of all kinds. and es-
pecially old arms. He has the finest
and most complete collection of ancient
arms of any body in the country. He
likewise has large collection OF old
miniatures painted on ivory. Kings.
queens and the nobility generally used
to have their pictures painted in this
manner. and Moro sini's collect on in

JOHNSON AND GRANT.

Chaunccy II. Depew has written out
for Colonel Fred Grant the conversation
he had with General Grant at dinner
some four Years ago. which has already
been made public to some extent. The
substance of the Generals statement is
that when johnson become President he
was determined to hang good many
confederates, but Grant insisted that the
parole granted them should be preserved.
Johnson had been "poor white" and
tailor as well, and felt that the better
classes of the South held HIM in con,
tempt. Pains were taken to show him
that he was held in high esteem. however
and he became with enthusa NJ in behalf
of the insuirectionary states. Congress
was overwhelmingly against him, and he
proposed to order special elections in
those states. so that the ex- Confederates
and the democrats united might control
the national body, and he went so far as
to propose. in case the republicans resist,
ed, that Grant and the army should drive
them out of the Capitol at the point of
the bayonet. Grant said he would use
the army, if atall, against Johnson and
the Confederates. and then johnson or.
dered him to Mexico and he refused to go
The patriotism and sturdy good sense of
Grant are shown in these revelations, but
of course both of the schemes of Johnson
would have failed if they had been tried,
though they certainly would have created
much disturbance and been very danger,
