To tho Medical Profession.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
CENSUS OFFICE,

CENSUS OFFICE,
WARRINGTON, D. c., May /, 1889.
To the Medical Prcfession:
The various medical associations and
the medical profession will be glad to
learn that DR.. John s. Billings, Surgeon
United States Army, has consented to
take charge of the Report on the Mortal
ity and Vital Statistics of the United
States az returned by the Eleventh Census
As the United States has no system OF
registration of vital statistics, such as lie
relied upon by other civilized nations fer
the purpose Of ascertaining the actual
movement of Population, our census af-
fords the only opportunity of obtaining
near an approximate estimate of the birth
and death rates of much the larger part
of the country, which is entirely unpro-
vided with any satisfactory system OF
State ana municipal registration.
In view of this, the Census Office, dur
ing the month of May this year, will issue
to the medical profession throughout the
country, "Physician's Registers" for the
purpose of obtaining more accurate re-
turns of deaths than it is possible for the
enumerators to make. It is earnestly
hoped that physicians in every part OF
the country will cooperate with the Cen
sus Office in this important work. The
record should be kept from June l, 1889.
to May 81, 1890. Nearly $4,000 of these
registration books were filled up and re.
turned to the Office in 1880, and nearly
all of them used for statistical purposes.
It is hoped that double this numbe will
be obtained for the Eleventh Census.
Physicians not receiving Registers can
obtain them by sending their names and
addresses to the Census Office, and, with
the Register, an official envelope which
requires no stamp will be provided for
their return to Washington.
Ifall medical and surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend their
aid, the mortality and vital statistics OF
the Eleventh Census will be more com
prehensive and complete than they have
ever been. Every physician should take
personal pride in having this report as
full and accurate as it is possible to make
it. 1t is hereby promised that all infor-
nation obtained through this source shall
be held strictly confidential.

THE stories of the sutferings &C.
casioned by the YOUNGSTOWN disaster
still pour in, and are almost beyond
belief in their horror. The pneu-
monia scourge bids fair now to do
for hundreds of the escaped victims
wha. the flood could not. Death
has pursued them, and the terror
will not die. Local physicians say
the prospects of an awful scourge
are all too promising. The enfee-
bled condition of the patients, the
unhealthy atmosphere pervading
the valley on account Of the hun
dreds of decomposing bodies that
lie unrecovered from the rubbish,
and the close quarters in which the
people are crowded, render the
spread of disease almost certain.

Hungarian pauper was discovered

manner of disposing of such fend

GENERAL LEW WALLACE is in

day before the awful storm and

since. He has telegraphed to many

that the train that bore his wife
might have been caught in the food.
Mrs. Wallace is an authoress of no

record that won him his title of
General.

that Mrs. Lew Wallace is safe at

Methods of Culture.

In answer to queries OF correspond
ents who fail to entirely grasp TRUTHS
Method, the Southern Cultivator gives
the following:
1T is fact of not uncommon OBJ
servation that moderately fertile up
land, well fertilizcd, will produce
larger yield OF cotton than rich allu-
vial soil. This is due to several causes.
The greater abundance Of moisture to-
gether with the larger percentage of
organic vegetable matter yielding
uitrogen) that we find in alluvial soils
induces an abnormal and excessive de-
vclopment of foliage, which is unfavor-
able to the rapid and early maturity of
the bolls. The excess of moisture. the
dense shade and imperfect circulation
tend to produce boil rot Cotton is
emphatically sun plant, and its ripen-
ing bolls especially require sun heat
and dryness in order to mature.
The maturing of the bolls is largely
a drying process. They are ruptured
and opened by the pressure of the
confined fiber as the latter dries out its
moisture and assumes the spongy.
elastic state. Any condition of the
plant or OF the air, which retards this
drying process invites the fungus
which produces rot and by so much
diminishes tho yield.
Another reason is that the alluvial
lands can not be planted so early in
the spring. nor do the plants develop
80 rapidly from one stage to another.

Some of the Uses of Silk.

Silk is an agreeable and healthy
material. Used in dress, itretains the
electricity OF our bodies; in the
drapery OF our rooms and furniture
covers it reflects the sunbeams, giving
them a quicker brilliancy. and II
heightens colors with a charming
light. 1t possesses an element OF
cheerfulness, of which the dull sur.
face of wool and linen are destitute.
1t also promotes cleanliness, will not
readily imbibe dirt, and does not har.
Dor vermin as kindly as wool does.
Its continually growing use by man,
accordingly, is beneficial in many ways.
Grace and beauty, even. owe some
thing TO silk. You can net stilTen il

stroying all its gloss and value. The
more silk ribbons, therefore-the
more silk kerchiefs and robes are
used, instead of linen and wool--the
more graceful becomes the outward
aspect of mankind. A number OF
strange, grotesque fashions. originat-
ing in the use of linen, would never
have been invented during the more
general employment of silk. The
fluttering of ribbon, the rustling and
flowing skirts of silk, the silk kerchief
loosely knotted round the neck, have
materially contributed to make our
customs more natural and pleasing to
the eye.-N. Y. Ledger.

AN ARSENIC EATER.
a Man Who Swallows 1t by SpoOnfuls to
Overcome Snake Poison.

A Man Who Swallows 1t by SpoOnfuls to
Overcome Snake Poison.
Providence has citizen who would
die without his daily dose of arsenic.
To him the poison is as indispensable
as wholesome food to ordinary men.
Somer B. Yume is the gentleman
whose case is puzzling the doctors.
None can account for the strange APP
petite and two of the physicians who
predicted Mr.. Yume's early death are
in their graves. while the poison-con-
sumner promises to be nonogenarian.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr. Yume was
bitten in the hand by a rattlesnake he
was trying to bag in the mountains of
Central Pennsylvania. In few min
utes the venom began to chill his
blood and he realized that the snake
bite was fatal. In his despair he deter
mined to commit suicide and with that
end in view he swallowed a quantity
of arsenic that he had in his pocket for
another purpose. The effect was as
tonishing. The mineral poison seemed
to counterfeit that OF the serpent's
fangs. Instead of its being a race be-
tween the two poisons as to which
would first kill Mr.. Yume, one de-
stroyed the other and the result was
the immediate recovery of the man.
Mr.. Yume felt the blood in his veins
grow warm and in twenty minutes he
was as we'll as before his encounter
with the RATHER.
The arsenic had no bad effect and he
returned to his hotel in the Alleghanies
with no inconvenience except that Of
an empty stomach. He told his adven-
ture and was laughed at. He showed
where the snake had seized his hand,
but no one would believe that arsenic
was the remedy for rattlers' poison.
Whisky was the only antidote, and
even that wasn't sure. At supper Mr..
Yume found himself in an awkward
predicament Neither food nor drink
would stay on his stomach. and to add
to his troubles his arm began to swell
and his blood coursed as sluggishly as
1t had when the snake poison was in
troduced into his system early in the
day. The local doctor said there was
no hope for him, that he had all the
symptoms of a man wounded by rat
tiers fangs.
Suddenly it occurred to Mr.. Yums
that what he needed was arsenic. and
he called for tablespoonful. The
landlord refused it not wanting sui
eide on his premises and the apparently
dying man ran for the only drug store
in the place. The apothecary was too
deliberate and Mr.. Yume snatched the
jar and swallowed large quantity on
the spot, greatly to the horror of the
medicine man of the mountains. As
before the effect was magical. The
arsenic overcame the snake poison
again, aud Mr.. Yume returned in per-
feet health for his meal. He slept
souadly, but in the morning the same
trouble returned and he was obliged to
resort to arsenic for cure. At night
the dose had to be repeated, and since
1864 at regular intervals OF twelve
hours he has had to take arsenic to
eounteract the snake poison that as
serts itself morning ana evening.-N
