From various sections come reports that

ton of aiding in the political betterment

many good platform doctrines. although
tinctured with extraTagances and idiosyn-

been too much for them. The indorse-

honesty of Debsism is now being supple
raenfed with political chicanery in pri-

Of Talbo treatment, which was trans
 lated into English. entitled Tabor s
 Wonderful Secret for Curing Of AFues
 and Fevers.
 The prevalence and severity of these
 diseases, down to the end of the seven
 teenth century. caused them to be re- garded as national scourges for which
 the t'fever bark was accepted as al-
 most miraculous panacea. Nor does this estimate of it's powers appear ex-
 trayagant when the ludierous and often barbarous nature of the remedies
 which 1t gradually superseded are taken into considera ton. '.Plaisters and possets'' were amoug the prevailing nostrums; but their ingredients were rather suggestive of the contents of g witch $ cauIdron than Of the benefieent applications of later days. Fever was to be cured by music and ague by cleo tricity, while tine placing Of the fourth book of the Iliad under tle long-suffer- ing patients head was supposed to be Of magical value in both disorders. Above all, fear was thought to be es- pecially necessary in the treatment of ague, and the description of many of the methods then used seems to have been well calculated to inspire it.
 Hunbolt doubted whether the cura- tive nature of the bark was originally known to the Peruvians, but the prob ability seems to be that it's qualities were fully understood by the natives long before the Spaniards landed on their shores There is a tradition that the properties of the bark were Rrst practically realized by fever-stricken Indian, who, being left behind in the forest by his companions, drank of stream which flowed through it. and which had been impregnated by the bark of the oyer-hanging cinehona trees. His cure was so speedy that it was looked upon as miraculous, and the Indians locked to the stream to partake of it's supposed occult virtues. It is also asserted that the pumas and jaguars of the mountain forests are in the habit of gnawing the cinchona trees. and this is the more worthy of belief as it Is known that the instinct of many domestic animals, as nfosas ply of all wild ones. leads them to seek particular herbs for me lieinal pur- poses Moreover, savages of the low est type resort specifically to various kinds of vegetable "hitters' as q cure for fever and ague.
