Consumption Cure.


The New York Recorder has detailed
the cure Of several consumptiye pa
tents at Wards Island under the
direction OF the city authorities. AS
only charity patients in the last stages
of consumption are admitted there,
the Recorder claims that the cures for
which il awarded DIR. w. II. Amick, OF
Cincinnati, $1,000 has accomplished
something almost miraculous. 1t says
also that the Cincinnati doctor has
agreed to keep the hospital supplied
with medicines for all It's consumptive
cases at his own expense. As only
third stage cases are taken, no more
severe test could be invited.
While it is now generally admitted
THAT the Alnick discovery is q certain
specific in the earlier stages Of con-
sumption, DIR. Amick has never here's
| tofore claimed that it would cure
more than 90 per cent Of the third
stage consumptiyes. In this test just
made by the city three out Of four
were either cured or benefited. IL Is

Cypress.

The Importance that cypress has at
tanned as lumber for building, orna-
mental and other purposes is well
shown in the issuance by the New
York Lumber Trade Journal of
special cypress edition, wherein It sets
forth the merits of that Southern lnm-
Der. When it is remembered that
cypress is restricted to the South, and
generally to the most southerly por-
ton of this section, it seems strange
indeed that Northern trade Journal
should issue special edition about It,.
1t is to be further remembered that
only within the last few years has.
cypress been shipped to the North.
We have understood and appreciated
its merits for some time, but cur
Northern neighbors were quite lgnor-
ant of it, aud when it was first ship
ped North, regarded it as a cheap and
inferior variety of white pine. The
| first shipments were, in consequence,
scarcely success, but the wood grew
| into greater favor with time. Build

sincere sympathy, and at the same
time the reaching out OF the open

This truth has been fully illus

immediate neighborhood by the
numerous donations that have been
sent in from unexpected sources Tor
the sustenance of the many persons
who were In dire distress produced
by the sudden inundation. The nm
hesitating, prompt and efficient
action of Governor Foster for the

which causes them to break and in-
