A New Cure for Consumption.

New YoRK, Feb. 6.--Dr. Cyrus
Edison, in an article written for the
forthcoming issue of Medical Record,
announces TO the medical profession
his discovery of a method of disin-
fecting the blood by the injection of
a solution of carbolic and thus max
ing the blood itself disinfecting
agent as itcourses through the body.
In the study of disinfectaDts DIR.
Edison, learned that carbolic acid is
at all times to be found in the blood
and that nature herself increases the
amount in disease over one thousand
times. He reasoned, therefore, that
carcolic acid is natures remedy, but
he was confronted with the fact thai
the injection of any known solution
of carbolie acid generally produces
an abscess. The problem was :.
.fipd the form in which the acid coulc
be injected without producing thi'
effect. This lie announces that ht
taas accomplished. The solution i
a coioxIess liquid. smelling of carboli'
acid, and it is injected under The
skin. According to the results re
ported by DIR. Edison so far the so
luton is credited with tile cure OF
about 40 per cent. of consumption.

Rev. John Andrew Scott. D. D


Rev. DIR. j. R. Graham contributes
to the Central Presbyterian a very
Interesting memorial of the late Rev.
DIR. John A. Scott. the concluding
paragraphs of which are as follows:
His pfsty was OF the calm and quiet
sort, without pretension, and too
deep-seated for display. 1t rather
summed than courted notice; and
was content that its genuineness
should be exhibited in its undoubted
fruits. His virtues bore, each of
them, the Christian stamp.
As might be expected of such a
man, his sun did not set in clouds,
but in the full brightness of the
evening glory. In the midst of great
bodily sufferings, he retained the
full and free exercise of his reason,
and had a lively sense of his ap-
preaching dissolution. Buthis faith
and hope disarmed death of its sting,
nd the grave of its terrors. In the
immediate presence of the last enemy
his mind was calm and serene, and
in full possession of the comfort
promised to the dying saint. AS the
supreme hour drew near, the sor-
rowing hearts around him were
greatly cheered by his words of faith
and hope. ''I am in the presence
of death" he said ''but 1 wish to
say to you now, that 1 have not only
been given salvation, but sustaining
gr ace to enable me to die in peace. I"
The words of Scripture and the
hym ms of the Church were often on
his lips. Aud he passed away in the
conf dent assurance, to which he had
repeatedly given expression, that
tthe rending veil'' would reveal to
him ''that radiant form" he longed
so earnestly to see.

q Day Well Spent.

..If we sit down at set of sun,
And count the things that we have done,
And counting ind
One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heardi
One glance most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then we may count that day well spent
..But if, through all the Iivelong day,
We've eased no heart by yea or nay;
If through 1t all.
We've done no thing that weican trace
That brought the sunshine to face;
s.sf. No act most small,
That helped some soul, and nothing cost,
Then count that day as worse that lost"
