suLPHuRIC ACID AND CHoLERA.

There is valuable public information in
a recent paper of DIR. Roland G. Curtin,
of Philadelphia, on the cholera in his tes-
timony as to the value of sulphurlc acid
as prophylactic. While DR.. Curtin
agrees with all other physicians as to the
importance of boiling water and cooking
food with the other precautions, he gives
from his own experience proof of the
value of this medicine as preventive.
DR.. Curtin was in charge of the insane
department of the Philadelphia Hospital
when the epidemic visited it in 1866.
After the disease had secured considera-
BILE headway he decided to try the expert
ment of giving sulphuric acid to all the
inmates of the department. Before he
commenced there had been 81 cases, and
for week before there had been four or
five new cases each day. The day after
the first dose was administered there were
four new cases, but within IL hours of its
administration the disease stopped, with
two significant exceptions One was
that of lunatic who refused to take
the medicine, and was taken with
the disease the next day. The
other was the fact that for two
days the acid was discontinued, on ac-
count of the exhaustion of the supply of
sugar with which it was disguised, and two
days after two new cases occurred, both
fatal. The acid was then resumed and
no more cases occurred, although it
continued in the city for two months
longer.
The same drug was used in the surgical
wards, with the result that there was no
cholera there, though every other depart
ment of the hospital and almshouse was
visited by the disease. This experiment
was made before the meteorological ex-
aminations, which proved that the comma
bacillus cannot live in an acid medium.
But the later discovery gives strong cor

THE feeling that while the solid South
may not be broken this year. the end is in
sight, is becoming more prevalent. That
stanch Republican journal, the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, sums up the situation thus:
ga few Democratic papers in Georgia and
other Southern States have been soun ding
the alarm, but no Republican has been in
any way encouraged by these Bourbon FORE
bodings. The Republicans have not even
the shadow of a chance to secure a single
electoral vote in any of the ex-slave States
this year, and no Republican has looked for
any. All along since the completion of re-
construction the negro has been a
hindrance and not help to the Repub-
lican party in the South. He has been
O hindrancc because in arraying himself
solidly on the Republican side he has kept
alive race prejudices. given an opportunity
Tor mossbacks and fanatics to howl against
black domination and thus has kept the
great bulk OF the whites hostile to the party,
for which drawbacks there was no compen-
sation, for he was either kept away from the
polls or his vote was suppressed A mans
partisan affiliations can no longer be deter
mined by color. The black man is just as
likely to be Democrat as he is q Republi-
can, and in Alabama and one or two other
Southern States rather moro likely. The
Republican can no olonger be called the negro
party and is already receiving large acces-
sions from the white element oil over the
South"
