THE ELIXIR.

DIR. Barnsfather, of Cincinnati, warns all
in experimenting with the Brown-Sequard
elixir. He says there is danger of blood
poisoning unless great care is taken in the
preparation Of the fluid to be injected. We
have IN our system many micro organisms
which carry on the processes of life and
digestion, and which antagonize the
saprophytes, or death-dealing baciIli, that
are constantly invading our bodies through
the air we breathe. Between them there is
a constant life and death struggle for the
mastery, and while our home friends are
in the supremacy we remain in good
health. When the saprophytes are in
greater numbers we have sickness, and if
they still increase in number we have that
condition to setup which eventually causes
death. When we are dealing with any
thing which has been killed, in the course
of an hour or two afterwards the sapro-
phytes from the atmosphere can be found
in incredible numbers on it, and, as they
propagate and multiply with fearless
speed, it becomes great question whether
after that time an injection of that poison
Gus material will not do more harm than
good. The doctor adds:
All doctors know that the smallest portion of
the fluid of dead body, if it finds its way into
a cut or abrasion, will inevitably produce blood
poisoning, and IL does this through.the piomains
formed by those death-dealing saprophytes
The fluid for injection should never be more
than an hour old when used, and then it ought
always to be made in vessel which is antisep-
tic and impervious to the surrounding air
Then the product will be perfectly harmless as
far as blood poisoning is concerned.
1t would be safe to say that the present
craze for the elixir will die out within
year, and after that time we will find no
physician who will use it on a patient un-
less as temporary stimulant. 1t is
opposed to all reason to look upon it as a
rejuyenator.

The Sultan of Turkey has instructed
his officials to treat the Kurds with the
utmost consideration, and to avoid all diff
ficulty with them. What does this mean
Simply that the Porte fears that Russia
is watching closely for an excuse to make
war, with view to her old ambition, the
re-establishment of the Greek Church at
Constantinople, and to sweep away the
last vestige of restriction upon him to the
free navigation of the Dardanelles with
his ships of war. Now if the Turks per-
init the people of KurdiStan to give any
complaint Russia will seize upon it, as she
did upon the persecution of the Bull
garians, as pretext for armed movements
against Turkey. Turkey has jurisdiction
over some 100000 Kurds. Ia their
vicinity Russia has concentrated an un-
usually strong military force. Since the
instruction of Turkey to her Armenian
officials, and which was to have been
profound secret, has leaked out, it will not
be surprising to hear of the Car making
that attempted secrecy a cause for war.
Between Russia and Turkey expect any
thing" runs the proverbiai saying in Eu-
rope, and it looks now as if expectation of
the unusual is about to be gratifed. Kur-
distan is wall between Russia and por-
tions of Asia Minor that the Turk cannot
afford to lose, and that Persia does not
wish him crowded from, for the Kurd tribes
are partly located in the latter country.
and as they are a clannish, fierce and war
like people, the nation that succeeds in at
taching them TO its banners will have a
powerful ally, with its wings resting in
Persia on the south and Asiatic Turkey on
henorthwest. Turkey now realizes that if
the Kurds are at all provoked by the
petty tyranny ofany of her officials to com
nit outrageS upon the Christians of
Armenia, Russia will do as. she did in
the ease of the Bulgariaus in 1878. Tur-
kish orders, therefore, to treat the Kurds
with consideration, are issued with view
Of restraining them from recent dispo.
sition to make it uncomfortable for Chris
tians in that part of Asia Minor.

He Breaks the Three-quarter Record
While Carrying 1876 Pounds.
The telegraph brings the news of another
victory for the Sacramento colt, Ell Rio
Rey. Yesterday at Morris Park, New
York, he won the rich White Plains
Handicap. TEis was sweepstakes of 500
each, half forfeit, with $1,000 added, of
which 81, 900 went to the second horse and
$500 to the third. The race closed with
246 entries. Horses declared out on the
day before the date for the race was named
were taxed only S25, and those declared by
August 1st only $40. 1t is impossible to
tell when the declarations were made, but
as eleven horses started there were 235
that paid forfeit. Possibly some paid the
full half $50; but assuming that all got
off with $40 each, the forfeits would
amount to S2,350 This, added to the
81 900 put up for the ten other starters, and
the s. 800 of the stakes that feil to the
winner, would make his winnings S., $50.
1t is safe TO say, however, that the amount
was nearer double that sum.
The distance was three-quarters of
mile, and the game Sacramento two-year-
old carried the top weight of 126 pounds
against the crack colts of the country.
And he not only carried that extreme
weight, but actually broke the record.

TWO coNFEy.ENcEs.

On the second day of October the Con-
gress of American Nations is to assemble
in the City of Washington. The purpose
is to consider the mutuality of trade inter
ests that should exists between the States
of the two continents, but that does not in
practice develop. Our own represents
tives in that body are to be in the minor
ity from the outset. They will at once
face the fact that the other States propose
to buy where they can do the best, irre-
spectiye of the continental comfy and the
supposed goodfellowship between Amer
ican Governments. AS matters now stand,
the South American States buy most
largely of England and Germany, and
they will have to be convinced by power
ful reasons to induce change of the habit
of half century, and more. The repre-
sentatives of these States are men of the
shrewdest business wisdom and political
sense, and they will not at all be awed by
their surroundings, or by the capacity of
the men we have selected to meet them.
We might as well make up our minds now
that all the wooing is to come from our side,
and that our representatives have before
them most difficult task. Up to date, the
Central American States have not named
delegates, and should they refuse to do so,
the situation will be most embarrassing when
the subject of the Nicaragua canal is
reached. Before this convention will have
concluded its labors, another, quite as i'm
portant, will have assembled in the same
city-The International Marine Congress
Tothis latter body will come delegates from
Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy,
Denmark, Russia, Belgium, Mexico, Brazil,
Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Hawaii,
Japan, The Netherlands, Nicaragua,
Spain, Sweden and Norway, Uruguay and
Honduras. The congress will have before
it subjects of the most important character
and the very broadest concern. 1t is i'm
possible TO foresee what will be the result
of the deliberations of the representative
concerning the marine navy of the world
and the international ethics of the same
but we certainly have some reason to hope
that the meeting of such body of repre-,
sentatives of the nations will result in q
better understanding as to the aims and
purposes of the respective Governments, in
the cultivation of much brotherly feeling
and in inspiring greater respect for each
other.
