SCURVY IN INFANTS.

Within few years physicians have
discovered a new disease in children.
1t seems to be the same as the scurvy
that attacks sailors and others who
have been forced to subsist for long
time on a monotonous diet, especially
On one containing an insufficient guam
tity of fruits and vegetables.
Strictly speaking, this is not new
disease, but rather newly recognized
one, formerly looked upon in many
cases as merely a form Of ricketts,. It
is a chronic affection, coming on very
Slowly, the parents attention being
first attracted by the fact that the
child does not seem to thrive.
The baby, most commonly from six
to eighteen months ;old, is peevish and
alone it makes little complaint and
takes no interest in what is going on
about it, but it begins to resist and to
cry as soon as any one attempts to lift
it.
It becomes pale, ceases to gain in
weight, or even falls off, loses its ap-
petite, throws up it's food, and often
has diarrhea. Sometimes, however,
the appetite, instead of falling away,
becomes ravenous and the poor little
baby eats and eats, an2 cries for more,
and still wastes away.
A peculiar symptom of the disease is
the appearance of pear-shaped swell
ings on the thighs and legs, the small
er end pointing toward the joints. Less
frequently these swellings, which are
due to collection of blood beneath
the membrane covering the bone, are
noticed on the arms as we'll, or even
on the collar-bones. Black and blue
spots Of variable size appear in the
skin of the limbs and sometimes of the
body.
1t is curious to note that scurvy at
tacks the children of the well-to-do
more frequently than those of the poor.
The cause of the disease is undoubted-
ly proper diet, but just what kind of
improper diet has not yet been decid-
ed. It occurs most frequently in chill
dren who are fed on artificial food, yet
nursing infants who have never had
anything but mothers milk sometimes
suffer, and others who have been fed
all their little lives by the bottle new
er have the least sign of scurvy.
If the doctor is called before the dis
ease is far advanced, the treatment is
usually satisfactory. It consists es-
sentially in a change of diet, some
times even change to artificial food,
if the child has hitherto been nursed
exclusively; but this change is some
thing that needs careful study, since it
will have peculiarities of its own in
almost every case. The addition of
some fruit juice especially that of or
anges, lines Or grapes, to the new diet
is generally of great value, and some
times will effect cure without other
notifications of the previous diet.

Here 10 q story illustrative of the
ignorance of the colonies that once pre-
vailed in the colonial office and is not
yet entirely banished from Downing
street. AS we all know, the late Lord
Carnarvon, when colonial secretary.
officially recorded bis opinion of Sir
Gorge Grey as "a dangerous man." Sir
Charles Gavan Duffy, OH one of his
visits from Victoria. called upon Lord
Carnarvon in Downing street, and in
conversation chanced to introduce II
reference to Sir George Grey.
"A very strange and comprehensive
character, said Lord Carnarvon, with
a shake of the head. 81 hear he has
now withdrawn to an island off the
coast Of New Zealand and surrounded
himself with number of wallabies."
"Oh, yes; think that is not ut all
improbable, replied Sir Charles.
"You surprise me" rejoined Lord
Carnarvon. "What must be the state OF
morality in country where you make
light Of such proceeding?"
why, my lord. what do you sup
pose wallaby to be?"
"A half caste female. of course Is
that not sop
Certainly not; wallaby is simply
a small kangaroo. - London Chronicle

less than one-half. This result may seem

The Hebrew Flag.

One Of the results of the Zionist con
gress at Basel is the reappearance of the
Hebrew flag. At the meeting place OF
the delegates flag was hoisted which
had two blue stripes ON white field
and between these the six pointed star,
or sign of David. 1t was explained at
that time that similar flag was used
as the standard of the Hebrews in the
days of the Hebrew nation. Pictures
and descriptions Of the flag came to the
United States with accounts of the pro-
ceedings of the congress, and dwellers
in the New York Ghetto began to look
for Hebrew flags. The consequence was
that the American Flag company turn
ed out quantity, for which there was
ready sale.--New York Tribune.
