Shall We Keep Healthy9

The STAR urges upon the Mayor and
members Of the city council the impor-
lance Of putting into use vigorous
measures looking toward the perfect
sanitary condition Of our city. The re-
ports Of an unusual amount Of sickness
in eastern cities warn ..us that every
precaution should be adopted to Ere
serve the health Of our citizens. The
winters accumulation Of compost
should be cleared away at once. The
tide Of visitors will set this way earlier
than usual. Hot Springs should be
sweet and clean for this reception.
This has heen a healthy place, but very
few deaths have occurred during the
last four months, let us use every
me9ns to keep it healthy. With on,
superior natural advantages there is NJ
excuse for:sdisease in our city, othe,

Value of the Thermometer.

Although the thermometer has its wild.
est sphere of application in fevers, vet il
renders valuable aid in diagnosing other
forms of disease. 1t aids us in differentiat.
ing functional from organic troubles and
real from feigned diseases. 1t tells whether
the increased heart action is due to fever
or exhaustion; that sweating, not preceded
by fever, is the result of exhaustion and
not the cause of it. In many instances il
would be difficult to tell hysterical treu.
bles Stimulating organic disease from true
organic trouble, without The aid of the
thermometer. 1t may be worthy of note
that the deposition of Cubercle, whether in
the lungs or in other organs, is always &C.
companied by an elevation Of temperature.
In cancerous infiltration, on the contrary,
there is no increase in the temperature
The thermometer is the only reliable
means of determining the presence or alb.
sence of fever. Often the hands and feet
will feel cold, the nose pinched, and at the
same time a high grade of fever be present.
Ignorance of this fact may lead one into
the mistake an old physician of my &C.
quAintance made in a case. He claims to
be able to tell all about his cases without
the aid of instruments. He came to the
case in question, seized the patients hand,
and said temperature normal Not bit
of fever" ] took the temperature with
my thermometer, and found it nearly one
hundred and Jour degrees. Such mistakes
are unnecessary and reprehensible, and
when instruments of precision are obtain
able neglect to use them should not be toI
erated.-Housekeeper Weekly.
