physician in chest diseases in St. Luke's
Hospital, has published a little pamphlet
concerning it, entitled endemic Pleuro-
Pneumonia, as seen in New York during
the past ten or twelve years In that
pamphlet Dr. Leaning holds to the
theory that the pneumonia of the present
day, or pleuro-pnermonia, as he calls it,
is the same as the epidemic which caused
such havoc among the troops in Canada
during the war of lS12-15.
That the weather has much to do with
pneumonia is apparent. The number Of
deaths in New York city for the first
seven months of last year was as follows:
January, 375; February, 1856; March,
5S7; April, 5l2; May, 337; June, 229;
July, $50. After August there is usual
ly steady increase until March, the
most fatal month of the year. The
death rate, too, is very high. The status
tics so far published, both in hospitals
and private practice, show al average
death rate Of at least 20 per cent, or one
in five Of those attacked.
The theories concerning the nature Of
the disease itself are many ana varied.
Some physicians hold that pneumonia is
only local manifestation of general
disease, others that it is specific disease
caused by a specific poison, while still
others hold as tenaciously to the germ
theory.
Without specializing upon these differ
ent theories, from what has been said IN
which all agree, it is plain that anything
which lowers the vitality Of the system
is conducive to the disease, and should
be carefully avoided. Overwork, either
physical or mental, has much to do with
it, and this explains why so many busi-
ness men and brain workers become it's
victims. Sudden changes of the wealth
er and draughts of ali kinds are also to
be guarded against In word, live
temperately, dress warmly, avoiding all
manner Of imprudences, and you need
haveno fear Of pneumonia.

his dinner plate at her, SHE'D the teapot
at her head, fired knives and forks at
her, heaved a platter of fish in her face,
pounded her with 4 broom, threatened
to shoot her, smashed dishes against the
wall, kicked the table over, cut and burst
open packages Of tea, coffee and sugar,
and scattered them on the floor; beat
her when in delicate condition, and
caused dangerous illness; threwa lighted
lamp at her, setting her on fire, when
sick in bed; made her lie down on the
bed and jumped on her, and threatened
to XII her if she screamed: presented q
revolver and threatened to kill her ii she
ever told anybody about his abuse;
threw mustard in her face, broke her
bedroom windows, SO that she caught
cold and had the pneumonia, and COM
mitted divers other acts of violence which
made it impossible for her to live with
