THE NEW "coNsuMP7lon CURE"

Some OF the Rules OF the Black Forest Treat
ment Which Is Attracting Attention.
At a new consumption cure" in the
Black Forest the principle Of the treat
ment, says u Berlin correspondent, is to
build up r system DO strong that it will
refuse lodgirent TO the insistent tuber-
Gle bacilli. To eat beautifully, to live
day and night in fresh air and to rest
properly are the chief tenets Of the
method. The food is prepared by weight,
and, nolens volens, it must be eaten.
Damp, rainy days keep nc patient in
doors. and rainy, ds4np nights see no
yentilating windows shut. Evidently
the herr doctor believes damp air Is bet
ter than poisoned air, and it is poisoned
air that the weakened lungs cannot
stand.
One feature Of the treatment is to rest
by lying down one hour before meals.
This is insisted upon. This accords with
at least one eminent practitioner in this
country, who in his dietary for use in
cases of incipient consumption insists
upon 20 minutes rest upon the bed be-
fore all meals except breakfast.
In the German cure the greatest at
tcntion is paid TO the care of the sputum.
Paper handkerchiefs are used, and the
patients are taught that it is not alone
infection to others that is guarded
against i'll their absolute cleanliness,
but reinfectiop to themselves-an OBJ
viously potent ally in securing tho prop
or care.

THE USE OF

Statistics Showing the Pow ar of the Recent
ly Discovered Remedy For Diphtheria.
In the first report given to the public
by the board of health in this city CON
corning the use Of the ST. called antitox-
inc for the prevention or cure of diph-
iberia it was stated by DR.. Biggs that
the record of $50 cases showed that
when the injections were made ON the
first day of the appear anoe of tho disease
the recoveries were 100 per cent, and
that o. per cent of those treated ON the
second day recovered. There are 10y
accessible more detailed statistics con
corning the use Of this remedy in Ger
tain European hospitals.
For the three years Immediately pre-,
ceding the application Of a~ntitoxine in
the Emp aror AID Empress Frederick's
Children's hospital at Berlin l,081
cases of %1iphtheria were treated, and
the mortality was 40 per cent. After
the middle Of last March 1873 cases were
treated by the application of the new
remedy. aud the mortality fell to 10
per cent. 1t should be borne in mind
hat ill These N'.re cases in which tht
disease had become established before
the injections were made. The physi-
clans IN charge OF the hospital also in
oculated ~ children who had been ex-
posed to the disease, and only eight Of
these afterward had d~iphtheria, the dis
ease appearing in a mild form.
While such statistics may not BIO CON
elusive. they do indicate that q very
valuable agent for the treatment of this
disease has been discovered. 1t should
not be forgotten that no one claims that
the injections will prevent . fatal result
when they are made after the disease
has become we'll developed. The serum
Of the blood of rhe immune animal con-
tains q substance hostile to the diphtbe-
rite poison, and it Is believed that this
substance, when introduced into the
system by subcutaneous injection, will
overcome and neutralize the diphthe-
rite poison if the injections are made
at q sufficiently early date-that is to
say, when the antitoxine is thus applied
to persons who have been exposed to
diphtheritic infection. but in whom the
symptoms Of the disease have not yet
appeared. it is believed to be an effect
i've safeguard, for tho poison in such
cases can easily be overcome. This be-
lief is supported by the statistics thus
far available. And II the incubation
is made immediately after the appear
ance of the disease it is almost as effect
i've. But after the disease has become
we'll developed and firmly seated the
a%ntitoxine may be powerful enough to
retard the progress Of it and to amelio-
rate the suffering Of the patient, al
though it may not prevent a fatal issue.

WESTERN DEMOCRATS.
A Movement In Favor of Free Coinage to
10 Started in Illinois

10 started in Illinois
Chicago, April s.-The Democratic
state central committee has decided to
call a convention of the party to meet
Mt tho capital June 4, of this year, to
outline the policy of the party on tho
money question. There seems to DO
little doubt that the convention will
declare for the free and unlimited
coinAge Of silver by the United States
at the ratio of 10 to 1. Chairman Hin
richsen says he Is in receipt of infor.
nation from every county In the state
outside Of Cook, which convinces him
that 10 per cent. Of the party favors
free silver.
That such action by the convention
as Is contemplated will cause split In
the party ranks seems to be taken for
granted. Those clamorlng for free Sill
yer have no use whatever for admins.
tration Democrats. They think more
Will be attracted than driven away by
adopting n bold and aggressive policy.
They want the issue settled now so
there will be no row In the nominating
convention next year.
There Is much speculation MS to what
men like Senator John NJ. Palmer, John
X. Walsh, or even Franklin MacVeigh,
who is ranked rs an international b.
metalliSe, are going to do In case tho
convention declares for free silver. 1t
Is rumored that Senator Palmer will DO

Washington, d. c., April S.-If tho

Tor June 4, to pass upon the financial
question, declares for free coinage of
silver mt 10 to 1, MS is expected, other
states will Immediately follow. Such
Ii the understanding of the Illinois
movement here. Indiana and Iowa, 1t
Is said. are prepared TO hold the next
conventions after Illinois sounds the
keynote. Michigan and Wisconsin
Democrats will take 1t up. and then
the other states In the MississiDDi val
ley will follow.
