Diphtheria.

The following explains itself :

Boakp oF Heatru, 32 PEMBERTON SQUARE, Boston, Jan., 1880.

The feliowing circular is issued for the purpose of more widely extending the knowledge of a few well attested facts con cerning diphtheria, and reminding all per- sons that more care shonld be exercised to prevent the spread of this much dreaded disease.

Diphtheria is contagious and infectious, and may be easily communicated, either directly or indirectly, from person to per- son.

It may be conveyed directly in the act of kissing, coughing, spitting, sneezing ; or in- dirvctly by infected articles used, as towels, napkins, handkerchiefs, ete.

‘he poison clings with great tenacity to rooms, houses, articles of furniture and clothing, and may occasion the disease even after the lapse of months.

Diphtheria attacks all classes, at all ages and at all seasons of the year. By prefer ence it attacks children and those who are debilitated from exposure to filth, damp- pess, or feul air from whatever source.

:

When a case of diphtheria occurs in any family, the sick person should be placed in a reom apart fron tie other inmates of the

{ house, and should be nursed, a3 far as pos-

sible, by one person only.

The sick chamber should be well warmed, exposed to sunlight, and well aired ; its furniture should be sach as will permit of cleansing without injury, and all extra articles, such as window and table drapery, woulen carpets, upholstered furniture, and all hangings, should be removed from the room duriiig the sickness.

The physican and nurte, as a rule, should be the only persons admitted to the room.

Visitors to the infected house should be warned of the presence of a dangerous dis- ease therein, aud children especially should not be admitted.

All clothing removed from the patient or bed should be at once placed in boiling water’ or in a tub of disinfecting fluid, (8 oz. sulphate zine, 1 oz. carbolic acid, and 3 galluus of water) by the nurse be- fore being carried through the house or handled by any other person. They may be soaked in this fluid for an hour and then placed in beiling water for boiling.

It is better not to use banderchiefs for cleansing the nostrils and mouth of the patient, but rather soft rags which should be 1mmediately thereafter burned.

All vessels for receiving the discharges ef the patient should constantly contain some of the disinfecting fluid.

Water closets and privies in the house

{ till june 30 should be disinfected daily with solution

‘imp with the fashion; we might as well be

out of the world as out of the fashion ;’ bat all well-bred persons know that fashion is a tyrant, and consequently ladies of the most perfect breeding have too much self- respect to comply with all her absurd de- mands. She, therefore, follows fashion at a-respectable distance, and is'a law unto herself as to what is proper and becoming to wear. P

With the introduction of sewing machines we wero in hopes that dressmaking could be done so.expeditiously that women would not only find more time for intellectual and social culture, but also could be dressed more economically ; but they tell us that the stitches are so multiplied on their dresses, and there are so many skirts, plaits, tucks and farbelows of one sort or another, that it requires more cloth and more time to make a dress than ever, the expense of making often exceeding the cost of cloth. This state of things would be more tolerable if there were any grace or beauty in all these expensive improvements in dress and form. Bub there is one con- sideration which we wish to press home upon all young ladies given to extrava- gance in dress,and this is that young men will be cautious in taking upon themseres the responsibilities of a fa- mily so long as the expenses of living are kepi up at the presont high rate. Matri- mony becomes unfashionable to the same degree that stylish dresses and stylish liv- ing grow in favor. Young farmers cer- tainly cannot afford in these times to take partners that are of the fashionable, but- terfly kind. The bills of the milliner and dressmaker make large drafts on the inceme of farmers long established in business and having some accumulated capital, and a voung farmer just starting in life will very likely be swamped if he loads himself down with such an expensive luxury as the dressy wife ; hence, shrewd and thought- ful young farmers wiil be cautious in mak- ing a selection from a household whose far- cinating young members are thoroughly schooled into every new idea of styles and fashions, and whose fingers are better ad- apted to plano playing than washing upa vet of milk vessels or dusting dewn a room. We are not insensible to the delicacies and requirements which as properly belong to the daughters of farmers as those of every other respectable class in the community, but we think the practice we comment on has been carried beyond the beunds of prudence, and we hope the few facts here described will be laid to heart by those whose incomes suffer from such excessive expenditure, and also by match-making manimas, as well as by the lovable young creatures who are the victims of these errors.

On the embarkation of Sir Garnet Wolse- ley for England, the command at the Cape wilt, it is said, be temporarily assumed by by Major General Sir Henry Clifford, Y.
