While the use of anti-toxine In this
country, the past three months, has prac.
tically escaped criticism 1t has also es-
capped discussion outside the medical pro
fession and through the public press.
Abroad the remedy has been under careful
observation and exhaustive experiments
have been made with 1t. The results art
most gratifying If we may judge from
the report of Prof. Biggs of the New
York health department, who has just re
turned from trip in Europe. At the
congress Of the British Institute of Public
Health excellent reports were made of the
results Of the Use Of anti-toxin in the
treatment of the disease From Munich
came the report that since the beginning
of the serum treatment sthe mortality hat
been reduced to III per cent, considerably
more than one-half when compared with
the best years "a very interesting state
ment was that made by Professor A.
Baginsky of the University of Berlin, y
sdiu ITolcsSuT DlRgS. he odlu tndb uur
ing the last year he had treated 525
dlphtheria patients with serum. Pre-
vious to the Introduction of this form OF
treatment the mortality during four years
averaged Al per cent, but by the serum
treatment 1t had been reduced to 1876
per cent. The serum treatment was said
by Professor Baglnsky not only to re
duce the mortality, but the whole con
dition Of the child was improved by it, -
The use of anti-toxin has increased so
much in Paris that there is now more
used In that city than in any other in the
world the result being that during 1896
the highest figure of mortality for four
teen days was twenty seven and the low
est was four. DR.. Biggs says that the
consensus of opinion at this congress was
that no physician would be justified IL
neglecting to use anti-toxine in a case Of
diphtheria, which he might be called tt

Having reached the middle of her
seventioth year, Susan b. Anthony is said
TO have decided never again to deliver a
public address. Perhaps this decision Is
wise one, although many have been
able to do some of their best work after
they have attained the age of Miss An
thony. Among men there is movement
afoot or has been, to set the limit OF
mans public usefulness at sixty years.
Indeed this limit is being established in
some of the English colleges and schools
But those who favor such rule appear
to have been influenced rather by the pre-
voiling idea that this is an age of young
men than by the facts respecting mans :
usefulness at advanced age. 1t must be
acknowledged that such examples rs
Gladstone and Bismarck are exceptionally
brilliant, but the number of those who
have done great service to mankind after
attaining the age of three score are toe
numerous to ho regarded as exception:

Our farmer friends no doubt think
these are the hardest times ever ex-
perienced in this country, but past his
tory will refute this idea. In 1906
during the second administration of
Mr.. jefferson, when Napoleon Bo ma
parte was in the zenith of his glory,
the English navy having annihilated
the united fleets of France and Spain
at the battle of Trafalgar, ("where the
boy stood on the burning deck",) plac-
ed the long extent of French sea coast
under vigorous blockade, Napoleon
having defeated the Prussians and en-
tered Berlin their capital, issued his
Berlin Decree, declaring the British
coast in a state of blockade which rem
dered every American or neutral ves-
sci going to or coming from these isles
subject - capture. In order to retail
ate upon Napoleon the English gov
eminent issues it's orders in council
which prohibited any trade from
America with any European country
It war with Great Britain, but per-

mitted such trade, II goods were first

mitted such trade, II goods were first
landed on their shores paid duty and
re-cxPorted TO Europe. Thereupon
Napoleon issued his Milan decree
which rendered every vessel subject to
seizure that touched British port,
paid any duties. orr submitted to
search BY British man-of-war.
These edicts destroyed almost entirely
the foreign commerce Of the United
States. The hostile action Of these
two governments prompted Nj. Jeffer-
son to recommend. and Congress to
pass what was known as the embargo
which prohibited all Anne rican yes
sells from sailing for foreign ports; all
foreign vessels from taking our car
goes; and all coasting vessels were re-
CURED to give bond to land their car
goes in tho United States" This pro-
hibition of all trade with the rest of
the world created the greatest distress
in every branch of industry. Depend
dent as we are on foreign markets for
the sale of our redundant products,
now that we were not permitted to ex-
port them, they fell to half their want
ed price and even less. To many of |
the producers they did not repay the
cost of production" Gloom and de-
spondency overshadowed the land to
such an extent that John Quincy
Adams who had supported the admins
tratlon was forced to resign his seat in
the United States Senate under pres
sure of the legislation of Massachu-
setts, who with the New England Fed
eralists determined to withdraw from
The union unless the embargo was re-
moved, which was done except as to
England endurance, which continued

ers in detail first to show that we are

# that time, and to let the people see
low important the commercial rela-
ions of other countries are to us, as it

Independent of them especially in
money matters, which must settle the
alance of trade.
