RIGHTS of Insane Persons.

SEATTLE, Nov. 16.-An important opin-
ion constituting the laws Of the State of
Washington regarding insanity and the
care of the insane has been rendered by
the Attorney Generals office at the re-
quest Of T. L. Goddard, superintendent Of
the Western Washington Hospital for the
Insane. Assistant Attorney General Dali
ton writes the opinion. He holds in sub
stance that where an insane patient is
merely paroled by the superintendent of
an asylum he or she may be recommitted
on simple order Of the court. Where a
patient is discharged, however, a regular
hearing must be had and a new commit
ment signed, IN all respects the same as if
the patient had never before been declared
insane.

the Slavery of a Habit He
Had Conquered.

SPOKANE, Nov. 16-Despondent be-
cause he could not obtain work, D. NJ.
Bertha of Winona, Mimi, took to liquor
IN an effort to forget his troubles. When
he awoke to-day, a prey to remorse, he
purchased a quantity Of laudanum and
drank about four ounces. Hard work on
the part of physicians kept him alive for
more than hour, but he died without re-
gaining consciousness.
Bertha came here recently in search of
work in the -four mills Finding no en-
ployment, he became discouraged and be-
gan to drink, though he had formerly
taken the Kelley cure in the East. A day
or two ago a pickpocket drugged him and
relieved him of $50. To-day Bertha drank
heavily and was noticed going up to his
room in the Nagle House in seTni-intoxi-
Gated condition. A few hours later q
chambermaid heard groans issuing from
the mans room. She called for assistance
the door was broken in and Bertha was
found writhing in agony on the bed.

Lumbermen Lose the Rebate.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Nov. 16.-A spe-
cial from Ottawa, Ont, says that a re-
bate which has been allowed to an extent
of 40 cents per thousand on lumber taken
off Dominion lands and shipped to the
American side has been rescinded. The
reason given is that the conditions under
which the local lumbermen conduct their
business are more favorable than those
across the line in Washington. This is
rather in line with the action of the pro-
vincial Government at the session of the
Legislature in passing an act against the
export of cedar lumber to the American
side. Large shipments of lumber are be-
ing made continually from the British Co
lumbia coast to Puget Sound and accord

EFFECTIVE TREE PROTECTOR.

The unsightly condition of the
trunks of many city trees affords mute
proof that some device should be in
use to protect them from the gnaw-
ing horses, and yet many an owner
considers it a waste of money to buy
or has not the time to bother with the
complicated tree guards hitherto in
use. 1t is not unlikely, therefore, that
the protector shown herewith, which
was Just patented by an inventor Of
GAINESVILLE, Mo-. will fill the long-felt

by horses which happen to be tied

consists simply of a piece of spring

GROUP.

Group is an Inflammation of the lar
ynx, occurring in young children,
which is accompanied by a tough, fl
brinous deposit covering the vocal
cords and other parts of the mucous
membrane Of the larynx and trachea.
Physicians are not agreed as to the
true nature of Group, some believing
that 1t Is simply a diphtheria OF the
1arynx, others that 1t Is a disease en-
tirely distinct from diphtheria. The
truth probably Is hat 1t is sometimes
one and sometimes the other; and as
it is often impossible to decide which 1t
is in any particular case, it is always
the safer plan to act as If 1t were diph-
iberia, and isolate the patient accord
fngly.
The symptoms of Group are simply
those of suffocation, varying in inten-
4sity according to the thickness of the
membrane filling up the larynx, and
the degree of the resulting obstruction.
There may be only a slight huskiness
In the voice and cough, or the voice
may be very feeble, or even be u
to a whisper, while the breathing Is
rasping. After the change in the voice
we may look for progressive shortness
of breath, which may increase rapidly
until suffocation is imminent.
The skin becomes cold and blue, the
nostrils dilate widely with each inspir-
alton, and the whole body heaves with
the effort to draw air into the lungs
through almost closed larynx.
The short breath of true or mem
or spasmodic Group by being constant
In false Group the attacks come on
in the night, and during the day the
child may seem nearly as well as usu-
al, but in true Group there is no relief
the condition growing steadily worse
and worse.
In diphtheria Group the child is Sc
weak pulse, and all the other signs
of a dangerous disease.
Formerly the only hope of relief il
severe cases Of membranous Group wa!
in tracheotomy, that is to say, cutting
an opening into the windpipe below thu
larynx, and inserting a curved tube
through which the air could reach tn
bronchial tubes and lungs. This is nov
almost entirely supplanted by intuba
ton, or the insertion of a tube between
the vocal cords, thus restoring the nat
ural channel for the passage of air.
In cases of non-diphtheretic crou
this procedure often saves the child
life. but when the case is one of tru
diphtheria the little patient has still
the original disease to contend with
although he is saved from suffocatior

ABOUT

In his testimony before the senate
committee in regard to the bill regu-
lating viviseetion, DR.. w. w. Keen, of
Philadelphia, ex-president Of the
American Medical association, said
that in the pamphlet sent out by the
American Humane association there
were a number of references 10 vague
and indefinite that he could not look
them up and that there were also gar
bled and inaccurate statements in re-
gard to physiologic experiments by
physicians and others. The president
of the American Humane association,
Mr.. James M. Brown, of Toledo, Ohio,
called DR.. Keen's attention to that
statement and defied him to show that
his charges were correct, himself de-
nying their t~ruthfulness. He also
challenged DR.. Keen's testimony that
there were only two experiments upon
human beings alleged to have been
done in America.
His letter, which with DR.. Keen's
reply, was published in the Journal of
the American Medical Association of
recent date, is harsh and accusatory
in tone and practically charges the
doctor with ignorance and misrepre-
sentation. DR.. Keen's reply reviews
the counterstatements of Mr.. Brown,
showing that at least fourteen refer
ences to experiments were reported
in newspapers, a number of them with
out any year date or month, others
s-a~J-y H~@-o AnrAcnNn6nnt ct C4nfn-
ments without any evidence as to their
| reliability or reference to medical au-
thority or to any book or journal
whatever. There was also a quota
ton from Tertullian with a reference
to a translation, in which it can not
be found. Reference made to the Allg.
Weiner Med. Zeitung, Nos. so and 81,
no year or date given, in which a
paper by Finger was referred to, is
certainly indefinite enough when we
remember that this journal has over
forty volumes and a careful research
into those of the last ten years failed
to reveal any such paper as that
quoted. Another reference to a lee
ture before the Medical society Of
Stockholm, without any information
whatever as to authority or place
where it can be found. Still another
report referring to ~mistreatment of in
sane patients, printed in quotation
marks, said to be made in the pub
lished report of the medical staff O.
the Public Insane asylum in Voral
berg, Austria, was also impossible tt
find. There are two small asylums ii
Voralberg, the report of only n o
these being accessible and there /
could not be found. and a letter o
inquiry addressed to them has re
ceived no reply. There was also. al
account of some experiments b.
Kroenig, though with no referenc
whatever as to the source from whicl
it was taken.
