Throat Troubles
Weaken the System.

A serious illness is often brought on by
a neglected sore throat
All throat troubles invariably weaken
the system and should not be allowed to
go unchecked.
A gargle made with twelve drops of
Sloan's Eminent in half glass of water
will break up sore throat.
Sloan's Liniment is an excellent remedy
for tonsiIitis. Group. asthma and brol-
chitis. Applied freely to the outside OF
the throat and chest, it draws out the in
fialnmation, reduces the swelling and ne
lieves any soreness. Twelve drops OF this
Liniment in half glass of water make
splendid antiseptic gargle.
Mr. Albert w, Price, of FredoDia, Kane.,
writes: sWe have used Sloan's Liniment
in the family for about year, and andit
an excellent relief for colds and hay fevpr
attacks. Two. drops Of the Liniment in
teaspoonful Of water will stop coughiAg
and sneezing instantly"
Mr.. L. T. Hurst, OF Gainesville, Ind, -
r. No. /, writes: ~ find your Linimehs
the best remedy have ever tried for s6ko
throat, either for horse or man. IoQco

Keeping Up the Limit.

In j. Comyns Carr's "reminiscences
is a characteristic anecdote of Burne-
Jones, who had consulted his doctor
about certain symptoms which seemed
alarming.
How many cigars do you smoke in
day." the doctor inquired of his pa
tient, to which Burne-Jones had care
lessly replied ooh, 1 think about six"
well" replied his adviser. "for the
present you had better limit yourself
to three And in detailing the incl
dent to me afterward Burne-Jones add
ed, with a chuckle, "You know, my
dear Carr, never did smoke more
than three"

Why the Aspen Tree Trembles

Would you know why the aspen trem-
bles when in the sultry summer time not
a breath stirs, and the other trees OF the
wood with thick-leaved branches rest
and spread cooling shades? Hear the
story as told by the Germans.
At that eventful moment when our
dear Lord hung upon the cross, and the
sun yelled himself in mourning, there
shot a tremor through all living nature,
Man, terrified and still, awaited with
beating heart the issue of the unwonted,
the unheard-of hour. The beasts OF the
forest fed and hid themselves IN their
dens; no insect chirped, no bird twittered !;
all was dumb and mourning. Only
the flowers and trees murmured in their
search, and told one to another, the story
of that sacred time. The tall-cedars
of Lebanon waved in ghostly chorus high
in the air, and the forests were wrapt in a
green deepening into night.
"Ah! Now. He,lis no moreN' softly
whispered the weeping willow OF Baby
Ion, bowling her sorrowing branches down
deep into the Euphrates. The vine- dresser
went through his vineyard and saw how
the fruit wept. And when the fruit was
ripe, and the new wine was pressed, he
called it the tears of Christ. But around
Golgotha arose sweet fragrance sent by
the night violet, to comfort the suffering
Son of God and the Iris said to her sister
Cypress, SIN mourning will | array my
self evermore." sand l." answered the
Cypress, twill dwell among the graves in
memorial of this hour"
Then there came light wind through
the sitting twilight. 1t was Ashtaroth,
the angel of Death, drawing nigh to the
cross. And as that moan had assembled
"My God, my God, why hast thou for
saken mel" every branch, every leaf,
every flower trembled. Only the aspen, a
proud, high, cold tree, stood unmoved on
Golgotha.
"Why should we be disturbed said
she, "by thy sufferingss We are yet
pure. we trees, flowers, and plants; we
have never sinned!"
But Ashtaroth, the angel OF Death,
took the black cup with the Redeemer' 9
blood, and poured it upon the roots of the
proud aspen. The unhappy tree was para
lyzed. Its leaves fell. Never more came
rest to its boughs, and when all is still,
peaceful and happy, it srembles, and ia
called the tremol poplar to this day.

Nicotine.

"If excessive smoking alone could
cause heart degeneration" writesa cor
respondent Of the London Mail, such
cases would be common instead Of ex-
tremely rare. The fact Is that only an
almost infinitesimal amount Of nicotine
is absorbed in smoking. An ordinary
sized cigar or an ounce Of smoking to-
bacco contains enough Of this, viru!ent
poison to kill two men,. The only rea-
son all smokers are not killed at once
is that the nicotine Is destroyed in the
combustion Of the leaf"

COURSE OF THE DISEASE.

Surprising that, in spite of oil our pre-
cautions, the disease has gained q foothold
in the throat, what will be its course?
This will depend, first Of all, upon whether
the invading germs have lodged in their
commonest point OF attack, the tonsils,
palate and upper throat, or have pene-
trated down the air passages into the
larynx or voice organ. In the former,
which is far the commoner case, their
presence will cause an irritation of the
surface cells which brings out the leuco-
cyte cavalry OF the body to the defense,
together with squads of the serum or
watery fluid Of the blood containing fibrin.
These, together with the surface cells,
are rapidly coagulated and killed by the
deadly toxin; and their remains form a
coating upon the surface, which at first
is scarcely perceptible, thin, grayish film,
but which in the course of twenty four to
! forty-eight hours rapidly thickens to the
weIl-known and dreaded false membrane.
Before, however, il has thickened in more
than occasional spots or patches, the toxin
has begun to penetrate into the blood, and
the little patient will complain of head
ache, feverishness and backacbe, often
indeed, usually-before any very marked
soreness in the throat is complained of.
The bacilli multiply and increase in
their deadly mat on the surface of the
throat, larger and larger amounts of the
poison are poured into the blood, the
temperature goes up, the headache in
creases, the child often begins to vomit,
and becomes seriously ill. The glands OF
the neck, in their efforts to arrest aud
neutralize the poison, become swollen
and sore to the touch, the breath becomes
foul from the breaking down of the mem
brane in the throat, the pulse becomes
rapid and weak from the effect of the
poison upon the heart, and the dreaded
picture Of the disease rapidly develops.
This process in from sixty TO eighty per
to seven days, when check will come and
the condition will gradually improve.
This is sign that the defensive tissues of
the body have succeeded in rallylng their
forces against the attack, and have poured
out sufficient amounts of the natural an
titoxin to neutralize the poisons poured in
by the invaders. The membrane begins
to break down and peel of the throat, the
temperature goes down, the headache dis
appears, the swelling in the glands of the
neck may either subside or go on to sup
puration and rupture, but within another
week the child is fairly on the way to re-
covery.
Should the invaders, however, have Sc
cured a foot hold in the larynx, then the
picture is sadly different. The child may
have even less headache, temperature and
general sense Of illness; but he begins to
cough, and the cough has ringing, brsssy
sound. Within forty-eight, or even
twenty four hours he begins to have diff
Guilty in respiration. This rapidly in
creases as the delicate tissues Of the larynx
swell under the attack Of the poison, and

IMPORTANCE OF pRoMprNEss.


OF course there were many disappoint-
merts and failures in the earlier cases..
Our first antitoxins were too weak and too
variable. We were afraid to use them in
sufficient doses. Often their injection
would no. be consented to until the case
industry have conquered these difficulties
one after another, until now the fact that
tbs prompt and intelligent use of anti
toxin will effect cure CT from ninety to
ninety-five per cent. OF all cases OF diph-
liberia is as thoroughly tablished as any
other fact in medicine. The mass of
figures from all parts of the world in sup
port Of its value has become so overwhelm-
ing that it is neither possible nor neces-
sary to specify them in detail.
OF 1877 cases treated the first day OF the
disease, none died; of 1 ,1s6 injected on the
second day Of the disease. Az per cent
died; of 1928 not treated until the third
day of the disease, II per cent died; Of 963
cases escaping treatment until the fourth
day, II per cent died; while of 1,26O not
seen until the fifth day, 20 per cent died.
In other words, the chances for cure by
the antitoxin are in precise proportion to
the earliness with which it is administered,
and are over four times as great during
the first two days Of the disease as they
are after the fourth day. s
By any ordinary means Of diagnosis we
would often be in doubt as to whether Q
case were diphtheria or not, until it was
both well advanced and had had time to
infect other members Of the family. With
the help of the laboratory, however, we
have . prompt, positive and simple method
Of deciding at the very earliest stage. We
merely take a sterilized swab OF cotton
on the end OF a wire, rub it gently over the
surface Of the throat and tonsils, restore
it to its glass tube, smearing it gently
over the surface Of some solicited blood
serum placed at the bottom of the tube,
close the tube and send it to the nearest
laboratory.
The culture is put into an incubator at
body heat, the germs sown upon the sur
face of the blood serum grow and null
tiply, and in twelve hours positive dag
nosis can be made by examining this
growth with miscroscope. These tubes
are now provided by all progressive city
boards Of health, and can be had free of
charge for use in any doubtful case. Twelve
hours later free report can be had from
the public laboratory. II every case Of
suspicious sore throat in child were
promptly swabbed out and a smear from
the swab examined at a laboratory, it
would not be long before diphtheria would
be practically exterminated, as smallpox
has been.
