MULLEN IN CONSUMPTION.
what the Doctors Say---Of Value In the
Earlier Stages---how Used.

DR.. QuinIan, of Dublin, read before
the International Medical Congress, at
Copenhagen, last year, an interesting
paper on the medical qualities Of null
lein. It has attracted widespread atten-
tion, and among the more recent arti-
cles confrmatory of DR.. Quinlan's
statement is one by DR., Wilfert, Of Gin
einnsti, which appears in the last num-
Der of tbe Lancet and Clinic, of that
city. From the results obtained in 127
cases of pulmonary consumption treated
by DR.. Quinlsn alone, he draws the fol-
lowing conclusions. which are condensed
from the original article, viz:
1. In the earlier and pretuberculaI
stages of pulmonary consumption, mui-
lein has q weight increasing and cur
ative power greater than that of cod
liver OIL, and equal to that of Russian
konmiss.
2. In cases where tubercles are well
established or cavities exist, the MULLEN
has great power in relieving cough-a
great boon to consumptives, whose
weak stomschs too frequently cannot
tolerate the usual cough remedies.
8. Phthisical diarrhea is completely
obviated Sy the mullen.
4. Mullen has no power or effect on
the night sweats of consumptives, which
should be combated by stropis sui
phate.
The method of using the MULLEN,
which originated among the Irish peas
antrv and was adopted by Dr. Quinlan
just as he found it, is as follows Three
ounces of the fresh green leaves, or
about ten times that much OF the dried,
are boiled in a pint of fresh cows milk.
After boiling a moment in the fusion it
is allowed to stand and "sIpe' for ten
minutes, when it is strained, sweetened
and drunk when warm. This quantity
is taken twice or three times day. It
is generally much relished by the pa
tieDts, who regard it as pleasant arti-
Gle of diet rather than a medicine. The
smoke of the mullen inhaled into the
respiratory passage relieves irritation
and spasmodic cough.
DR.. Wilfert states that he has follow
ed DR.. Quinlan's method in 20 cases of
undoubted pulmonary phthisic, all of
them more or less advanced, and all i'm
proved during the administration of
MULLEN, no other drugs being used
These results are certainly very encour-
aging, and should be followed up.

Let movement be instituted
among the old soldiers at once, look
ing to County Reunions in the future.
There is no need Of Jackson County
going away from home to spend mon
ey ON Reunions, so large that half the
old soldiers do not get to enjuy the
society Of their comrades. The Coun-
ty Reunions would throw together all
the old snldiArs Of the county, with
some visitors from adjoining counties,
and grand good time could be en-
joyed. The different regiments might
all concentrate ON one day and hold
special meetings, besides uniting in
one general meeting, Or the Reunion
could be devoted each year to some
particular regiment, the others join
ing The better plan would be, how
ever, to have a general Reunion of all
the soldiers in the county-a general
class-meeting, SO to speak. Different
regiments could have separate meet
ings on the same day. Think about
it, boys! Let us see if we cannot
make the County Reunion the grand
est thing the county has ever known
in the way of social gathering.

If A. G.. Sedgwick is the best speci-
men Of Reform craftsmanship the
Democratic administration can scare
up, we tremble even for the Demo-
cratic party. When the squabble
about Cutting arose, in Mexico, Secre-
tary Bayard sent Sedgwick, filled with
an important mission, to look into the
affair, and report. He went to Mex
leo, fell in with some of the lively
young men, and began attending balls
and other scenes of hilarity and dissi-
patton, and the report came that he
was drunk. This latter report may
not be true, but Sedgwick himself tel
egraphed the New York EUe'aing Post
that he had been at ball with lot
of young men, The question is, what
is Sedgwick doing in Mexico? What
could Bayard expect this great country
to do upon the report of such dude,
except feel contempt for it? II the
Mexicans would run both Cutting and
Sedgwick out Of the country every
time they were caught in it, they
would be perfectly justifable.

There is one feature connected with
newspaper reports Of army reunions,
which should be dropped as being too
ridiculous for anything. That is the
careless singing in of military titles.
Some papers, in speaking Of the recent
Reunion Of the Army of West Vir-
ginia, made it appear that there were
comparatively few private soldiers
there Every man who had a badge
Of any description was dubbed "Col., y
"Major," or Captain" with utter dis
regard Of fact. We noticed one man
from Jackson going about with a
badge of the Army Of West Virginia,
who never saw days service that we
have heard of. save in the ''Gallipolis
Raid" and he is Captain" Could
some of the citizens have seen these
Colonels, and Majors, and Captains,
during the war, they would have con-
s;dered them the funniest looking
officers in existence.

Frank S. Murphy, of Indianapolis,
Ind, ordered his little son, seven years
old, to go to a doggery and get some
beer in bucket. The little fellow
begged them to excuse him, but the
brutal father ordered him to go. As
he did not return as quickly as ex-
pected, they went to search for him,
and found his body lying upon the
railroad track, cut in two. The bucket
Of beer was not spilled, and was set
ting at the head Of the dead boy.

The Democratic papers in our
neighbor District are greatly worried
over the publishing of the early record
Of Gen. Denver, and enlarge upon the
righteousness of his killing of the
young California editor. There's
enough in that alone to condemn him
in the eyes Of just persons, and his
Copperhead course during the war
in resigning because he couldn't fight
to make the 'nigger" free-is enough
to disgust every intelligent man in
the State.

Chief Geronimo, with thirty-ive
braves, has at last been captured and
sent to Florida for Imprisonment and
trial. The Government has had a
long chase after the old fraud, and a
costly one. All the best Indian-fght-
ers, including Gen. Crook, put forth
their utmost exertions to capture him,
but he held out against them for many
months.
