Typhoid Fever Easy to Prevent.
Baltimore Sun. |

Nothing" says DR.. Edison. OF
the New York health department,
in recent article, '''is more dis
creditable to the civilization Of the
I'nineteenth century than the exist
ence of typhoid fever" 1t is dis
creditable, he maintains, because
:"of all diseases it is the most easily
preventable.n Scientists have lso-
lated it's germ and taught its char
acteristics, yet their teachings as
to modes of prevention are utterly
lost upon the larger portion OF the
! public. Typhoid fever is rarely
due to any other cause than pol
luted water, milk or meat. Fol
luted water is responsible for most
cases of the disease, and well water
in the country, as we'll as in towns,
cities and villages is commonly
polluted. 1T is safe to say" ac-
cording to Dr.. Edison, that there IS
not a we'll in the country, the wa.
ter of which is safe to drink. Most
of the cases of typhoid fever occur
ring in the city in the fall are caused
bv water drunk from wells during
the summer outing" The fact
that the water of these wells. is
nice and sweet-taste counts for
nothing. The brighter it looksthe
greater the probability that it: is a
EEwhited sepulchre" The. wells: be-
ing sunk near the houses, in the
vicinity Of. cess-pools, they draw
their supply Of water from contain
mated earth. The germs of typhoid
fever thus enter the well and render
them reservoirs of poison, however
pellucid and charming their con-
tents may appear to the thirsty
after. health. :. During the last
year. says the doctor, 81 have
visied twenty towns supplied with
water from dug or driven wells;
in every instance the supply was
polluted and in most cases its poils''
tion was the. cause of the presence
of typhoid fever" The bacillus
typhoshs, in which the disease IS
contained is in the spsttle of typhoid
fever patients: It rs, easily de-
stroyed by such disinfectants as
corrosive sublimate and carbolic
acid. Ice often disseminates the
disease. Though boiling water: is

The actual work Of exl,qr
by DR.. Hammond began week VI
and he has pursued it constantly
ever since. His subject is an. old
man, who is decrepit to an extreme
degree. The treatment is exceed
ing simple, and consists of an M
lection in the patients leg every
other day. The quick results al
ready obtaine dhave astonlshed and
gratifed the Doctor. The decreplt
patient has already shown signs OF
returning vitality that seem lncred-
ible, this change having been
marked on the third day after the
application of the elixir was first
made, The Doctor stated the facts
of the experiment last evening,
practically as above, but reserves
his decision on the merits of the
ife-giving elixir until his experl-
ment is complete, which it will not
be until six weeks after beginning
the treatment. Besides the case
mentioned, two other patients will
be treated. They Will be Ignorant
of the character of. their treatment
Until it is concluded.
DR.. Hammond feels a great deal
of respect for the believers IN the
possibility of discovering a youth
giving fluid. Immediately upon
the conclusion of his present work
he will prepare full report OF 1t
for the Medical Journal. This
evening he said:
II have just received information
from Paris to the effect that DR..
variot has administered the elixir
to decrepit individuals With the
most astonishing results. The re-
port states that they have become
rciu7enated under the influence OF
the treatment?"
DIR. yARIoT's EXPERIMENTS.
Despite'the sarcasm, general and
professional, with which the recent
experiments made by NJ. Brown
Sequard were greeted, says the,
London Telegraph, there seems to
be, some efficacy in the ugly elixir
vitae invented by the aged and re-
spected physiologist.
A young physician, DR.. Fanot'
who has already been successful IN
removing tattoo marks from the,
skins of several civilized savages,
has been induced to test the efficacy
of NJ. Brown-Sequard's "Life Mix
ture." He pestled together por-
tions of the flesh tissues of rabbits
and guinea pigs, diluted them with
water, and injected the compound
thus obtained into the bodies OF
three paupers, aged respectively
81, 56, and IS. The men had
never heard ofM. Brown-Sequard's
solution, and were merrily told that
they were to be injected with
strengthening fluid, We have Or.
Variot's word for it that his. three
patients, who, before being sub
iected to the wonderful remedy,
were weak. worn, emaciated, and
melancholy, suddenly become
strong, fresh and cheerful, took new
views of>Hfe, and altogether felt as
ifghev had received a new lease OF
existence. :.
The experiments failed, however,
on two other subjects; but the IL
defatigable NJ. Variot is not to be
defeated, and heintends to continue
his trials, which in time will be
communicated in all their precision
of technical detail to the Biological
Society.

THE NEW ELIXIR OF LIFE.
DR.. VIM. A. Hammond Repeats DR.. Brown
SeQuard's Experiment.

WAsHINGoN, July 31.-Dr. W.
A. Hammond, the distinguished
physician, formerly Of New York,
who has permanently located in
this city, is experimenting success
fully with an elixir of life. When
the Doctor first heard of the discov-
cry by DR.. Brown-Sequard Of Paris,
of an elixir, thus named, his infor-
nation of the character ofthe fluid,
said to prodnce such remarkable
results in rejuyenating decrepit and
aged persons, was SO crude that he
was forced to the belief that the re.
port was neither a canard Or the eN-
perimenter had given to the world
statements that could be only ex-
planned by the facts Of his dotage.
Since then he has received detailed
accounts of the methods employed
by Dr.. Bcown-SeQuard, and they
impressed him so favorably that he
determined to test the virtue OF the
elixir practically.
The distinguished Frenchman
procured his material from a Guinea
pig, whereas DR.. Hammond took
the lamb for his use, which he be-
slieved to be superior to any other
4 -, sal for the purpose to which he

THE Republicans In office are already
specializing on the necessity for consider.
ing President Harrison rs a candidate for
a second term, and reviewing tho field
they do not find any ono who in their
opinion or In Mr.. llarrison's, could be SGT
up against him. They are also satisfied
that no member OF the Cabinet, except
Mr.. Blaine, could DO his rival. Mr.. Win
dom Is n resurrection most fortunate in tho
luck that has already bciallcn him, but
not In line for any greater manifestation Of
that luck. Col. Noble would still be ham.
pcrcd by his locality. Gen. Proct or, Gen.

come Presidential possibilities. Gen.
Tracy has locality IN his favor,
but nothing else In estimating
Presidential strength. II Is only
Mr.. Blaine then who might interfere. But
II Is assumed that should he DO 80, no
would pull the house down about bis own
ears. On tho other hand, eight years OF
Harrison In the white House would mean
eight years Of Blaine In the State Depart.

the close Of the long association and meri-
iorious assistance might induce. But there
ncod be no fear OF this. Mr.. Harrison

A TARIFF REFORM CAMPAIGN

The Republicans or Protection Demo
Gratis who suppose that the Tariff Reform
ors are sitting In supineness and are going
TO let the greatest OF all the economic ques-
tons now before tho public sleep are
greatly mistaken. From every State there
comes the cheering news that Democratic
societies are being formed in numbers sui-
fcient 10 satisfy the belief that every
county will have tariff reform center and
every State headquarters in earnest SYM
pathy with the national organization in
the work il may from time to time sug.
gesL The people are to be educated. The
work cut short by Cleveland's defeat Is TO
be completed, and every class and charac-
ter OF information necessary to the full and
clear elucidation OF the dcetcrious and in
some instances disastrous effects OF the
tariff is TO be spread before them in plain,
simple English. The Reform Club Of New
York has entered upon this work
with enthusiasm, and before many
weeks pass their leaflets and cir
culas will DO circulated wherever a
tariff reform club or Democratic society
can be found to undertake the task OF cir.
culation. The members Of this organiza-
lion are preparing statistics and are iormu-
lating information that is likely to DO al
most exhaustive OF the subject. An arti-
