BARLEY, M. d., M. r. c. S. The writer's
opinion is against the use of stimulants. and
a long list OF cases are recited to substautl-
ate his argument. AS surgeon in a battery
of artillery in the Punjab, the writer had a
number of cases of delirium tremens in his
hands, all of which were successfully treated
without the use of stimulants. OF other cases
the writer says: There were many cases of
acute chest disease in the cold weather. On
admission to hospital, they had plainly one
thing in common with those suffering from
alcohol; they were exhausted from sheer
want of food. 1t was the first and main
point of my treatment that this should be
met by prompt feeding, most generally by
repeated cupfuls of and milk. /

morphine for a hacking cough. The tongue
began to clean at once and the temperature
to fall, and the haggard and worn patient
got refreshing sleep and began to con-
valesce. In fact, the case ran parallel with
the former ailments / have mentioned, andI
soon ceased to employ with them any form
of alcohol.

The fact that milk is liquid in form de.
eeives many persons as to its nutritivc
value, as well as regards the character of
1000 needed to produce it. Farmers
know by experience that mangolds or
otner beets, while often promoting a
large flow of milk, either make it OF moor
quality or rapidly reduce the flesh OF the
cow This fact is explained by the
chemical analysis Of milk, which shows
only eighty-five per cent. of water, while
the mangolds have ninety-one per cent.
Fodder corn when green has eighty per
cent. of water, but it contains even less
proportion of nitrogenous matter than
the mangolds. Good milk is rich in two
important and valuable elements. Its
carbon is in the form of fat, and is shown
IN cream and butter. Its heterogeneous

and another in Mississippi, on the
line of the Illinois Central Il. X. but
a few wears ago had absolutely no
commercial Importance, and from
them not a dollars worth of produce
was sold to distant market. This
season, however, it has required from
one of them. an entire fruit refrigera-
tor car every day for six weeks to
transport its early Crops to the North
ern markets, while from ten TO TWEEN
ty car loads per day Of vegetables
were shipped during the season from
the other. This is but a single illus
tration, and by no means the most
forcible one that could be presented;
of the rapid development OF certain
sections of the South, in profitable
agricultural section. There are many
localities in that direction, particul-
arly in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana. on or near the line of the
Illinois Central Railroad, that, al
though, as yet undeveloped, are cap
able Of easy cultivation, and will grow
the finest kind of fruit and vegetables.
Lands well adapted to growing early
strawberries and grapes, of quality to
bring fancy prices in the market, can
be obtained there very cheap-in some
instances as low as 81 per acre. The
availability of the Illinois Central fast
fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds
but final weight to the security Of its
being profitable enterprise toengage
in the development of these lands.
