Decline of Malaria.

The Maryland Medical Journal for Au.
gust in an editorial article on "The De.
cline of Malaria in Maryland" says:
"Dr Watson presents in his interesting
paper very strong evidence of remarka.
BILE subsistence Of Malaria in Maryland,
but he wisely reminds US that the history
of the disease here and elsewhere is
marked by periods of decline amounting
almost to extinction. followed often by
recrudescence in epidemic proportions.
DR.. Watson gives little credit to any of
the agencies commonly mentioned in ex-
PLANTATION Of the present decline Of ma
laria-improved land drainage. the use of
quinine and the increased use of mosqui-
to screens Admitting that these agencies
may have played part, he believes that
malaria has subsidized in obedience to some
unknown national force, which will not
suffice for the extinction of the disease
and may allow its temperance in an
area as wide ~ ever.
whether human activities have pre-
vailed thus far against malaria or not,
there is no doubt whatever that drainage,
quinine and the use of screens can sxtin.
guish malaria without other aids of tany
sort 1t seems doubtful if DR.. Watson
has given credit to these human agencies,
admitting. as he does, their potency. To
one who has witnessed the very striking
repression of malaria in the last Is years
some concu trent events are very impress.
sive.
Twenty five years ago a rural practi-
toner in the tidewatsr counties expected
the crop of ague to begin in July and last
until December. In many localities the
people anticipated the seasons chills by
the purchase of nostrums. A good many
persons believed malaria to be incurable.
They had good reason. Quinine was very
expensive. Sulphate of cinchonidis, very
much cheaper than quinine come on the
market in the early eighties. 1t was not
more heartily welcomed by the physicians
than by the country storekeeper. This
useful salt displaced many patent medi-
cines and repaired the damaged reputa-
ton of quinine. Then the tax was remov-
ed from the cinchona salts and the sales
again increased. A physician in good
practice might use 12O ounces of quinine
and cinchonidia in q season. but the Cross
roads merchant sold four, five or six times
as much in one .eight-ounce and one-quar-
ter ounce packages. 1t was used not only
as curative, but also as prophylactic.
Eighth of an ounce Of quinine in quart of
whisky made what the people called =
tonic, and tablespoonful three times a
day was the Dose"

Ilr. FultOn's Address to Teachers.

The first definite appeal to the school
teachers Of Maryland we join in the Cam
paign Of education concerning the dread
disease consumption was made to them ut
the meeting of the State Teachers
Association at Blue Mountain House, last
week, when DR.. John 8. Fulton, secre
tary of the State Board of Health, and.
during the absence in Europe of DR..
Henry Barton jacobs, the acting presi
dent of the Maryland Association for the
Prove ation and Relief of tuberculosis,
spoke to the educators of the state and
asked them to help to cut down the death
rate due to tuberculosis Dr. Fulton said
in part:
"The tuberculosis bacillus is one of the
weakest in the whole category of disease
producing germs. Hardly any disease
germ is less fit to live outside animal
body And yet it has fastened itself on
the animal world and become the greatest
among the causes of untimely death. By
sheer force of numbers. the most insight.
ficant individual among mans enemies
has gained prominence.
The prevention of tuberculosis depends,
above all things, on the enlightenment Of
the people concerning the nature and
causes Of the disease and the simple
means by which it may be prevented. A
large voluntary association can bring
about an enlightened public opinion
much faster than any official agency, and
this is the reason for the existence of the
Maryland Association for the Prevention
and Relief Of tuberculosis.
The interest Of teachers in the problems
of Tuberculosis is no greater than the in.
terest of other professional and business
people, but your interc- t in the subject 10
different, and its difference makes the tn
berculosis problem ono of definite and
practical concern to you.
The seed is now sown for consumption's
harvest of death in the next seven years.
If we movefast enough and intelligentlv
enough we can save few Of those now
marked for death in 1907 and 1908, few
more of those marked for death in 1909
and 1910 and good many of those who,
if we stand idle, will surely die of tuber-
culosis in 1911 and 1912 The saving Of
these people is no particular concern of
yours, except so far as this company will
have its share in that roll of untimely
death The people who are going to re.
alze the frst material profit of this popu
lar campaign against tuberculosis are
your wards at this moment, and they will
escape the doom now impending in pro-
portion as you know and can oppose the
dangers now surrounding them, and in
proportion rs you can inform their minds
and their wills to take care of themselves
after you are through with them.
The instruction of each teacher 10 the
state, in the simple matters necessary to
the education of the children of the es,
tate is now he;ng arranged for by State Su
perintendent M. Bates Stevens, and the
comfy Superintendent. 1t is probable
that at leas. one period at each county in
stitute in Maryland, this fall, will be de
voted to discussion Of the subject of
tpberc Qlosis.

Brutally Tortured.

A case came to light that for persistent
nd unmerciful torture has perhaps never
been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa,

Selling Adulterated Cream OF Tartar

A. B. Ryan was fined $25 by Judge
Adams in the Boston police court for
selling impure cream of tartar. The stuff
was put up in packages and marked
"pure." State Analyst Lythgoe found
that it contained calcium sulphate. cal.
cium acid phosphate, and other matter.
The analyst stated that while calcium
acid phosphate mixed with soda would
give off some leavening gas, and thereby
misIead the user, the other ingredients
were simply makeweights. Calcium sui.
phate is ground gypsum, which is plaster
of Paris. Ryan had been disposing of
this mixture for cream of tartar long
while, and had been fined once before for
the same offense.
A great deal Of this kind of material is
| sold throughout New England under the
name OF cream of tartar, which it re-
sembles so closely in appearance as to
deceive any one who cannot analyze it.
Housekeepers use it with soda to raise
biscuit, cake, etc., inignorance of the fact
that 1t carries to the food a substance
unht Tor the stomach, plaster of Paris,
and that its ltavening power is very
slight.
We are told that there is but little pure
cream OF tartar sold at the shops. 1t is
safer, as well as more economical, for the
housewife to procure reputable cream
OF tartar baking powder for raising her
biscuit and cake, as the official analyses
show that the ingredients used in them
are chemically pure.

Now Is the Time for Hyomei.
Far Easier TO Cure Catarrh Now Than
at Amy Other SennOn.

Now is the time to use Hyomei, when
the early summer days make it so easy
to cure catarrhal troubles. The Hyomei
treatment, breathed for a few minutes
three or four times day in May or June,
will do good twice as quickly as it did in
January, and nearly everyone knows that
used faithfully then, it completely rids the
system of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and consists of a neat inhaler
that can be carried in the purse or vest.
pocket and will last a lifetime, a medi-
cine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei.
Extra bottles OF Hyomei can be pro.
cucred, if desired, for SO cents.
W. B. Eastman gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit they
sell to refund the money if it does not
give satisfaction. There is no risk what.
ever to the purchaser of Hyomei.
