QUEEN'S COUNTY.

Mr. Cuarrman,—We are here to-day for the purpose of forming a Liberal-Conserva- ,tive Association for the First Electoral Dis- trict of Queen’s County. Doubtless, very soon the same course will be adopted throughout the length an. breadth of Prince Edward Island. It has too fre- quently been the case that the rank and file of the party are neglected, depending on the skili and statesmanship of our leaders. Our party has now been in power eight years, and we may feel apathetic under the idea that it is impossible to defeat our party; but the necessity of organization and unity is so apparent that, if we expect vic- tory to be inscribed on our banners,

The Care of Diphtheria. A TALK WITH A SISTER OF ST. MARGARET —THE PREVENTION OF THE DISEASE.

(From the Boston Record.)

The prevalence of diphtheria at the present time, both in Boston and many suburban cities and towns, has called re- newed attention to the ravages of this dreaded disease and the conditions in which it implants and spreads itself throughout communities. While outbreaks of the disease occur without any seeming or ade- quate cause at all seasons, the beginning of winter is especially marked as the season of its usual approach. Many believe that the) alternate snow and rain of late November or early December, and the “January thaw” at the early spring, are the periods of the

vear favorable to the establishment of this vpidemie, and many homes have cause to dread the presence of ‘slushy weather” during the winter time. ‘‘It ain't the clear crisp € cold of wititer that lays the children up with colds or lays ‘em low w ith diph- theria; it’s the soft, pleasant an’ slushy days that comes every now ‘an again,” said an old sunburnt nurse of the ‘‘Mrs. Gamp” type. ‘‘Its the wet feet that children get goin’ to an’ from school. Mos’ folks thinks that as long as they keep their cellars and sheds cleaned up in the summer that there ain't no fear in the cold weather of poisonous airs risen.’ But as a gen- eral rule the rooms are kept roast- ing hot, day and night, and the windows or doors are never opened except for a minute, and then by aceident.”” There was much truth in the observation, although it was crudely expressed, and any mother who looks over the appliances for ventila- tion and the convenience fer drainage will find much that might be bettered, and so secure

THE LIVES AND HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN

most frequently, and in squalid neighbor- hoods, where cleanliness and precaution were unknown, I found it a difficult matter to keep the patient completely isolated in houses where a whole family occupied the samefroom. In such eases the pi ient, if possible, was ‘sent to a hospital or institution, but if not the other children were kept as far away from the patient as the limited area of the room would permit, and all the methods of disinfection weie vigorously observed. No handkerchiefs were used by the patient, but soft cloths, which were burned as soon 8 used, and all tbe linen used about the patient was soaked in disinfectants before being washed, The same general rules for disinfection and isolation that are used in cases of scarlet fever and other contagious diseases will be found useful in this disease, and of course in other houses it is_ possible to have the most complete and efficient care over the patient and his surroundings, so that children in the same house may not take the infection.” :

PROMPT. AWONDERFUL REMEDY

Agamson's Botanic Cough Balsam.

It is as pleasant as honey. Coughs, Colds, and Asthma, which lead to Consumption, have been speedily cured by the use of ADAMSON's BaLsaM after all other medicines have failed. Sufferers from either recent or chronic coughs or bronchial affections, can resort to this great remedy, eonfident of obtaining speedy relief. Do not delay, get it at once.

as far as possible for human care to attain | this result. Many a ‘‘mysterious dispen- | sation of Provideuce” can be found to have | its originin a neglected cellar, or a leaky) + drain and sink-spout, although in many) instances people are so ignorant of neces | sary sanitary precautions that the first | theovy is generally accepted in mourning homes. In conversation with a Record | reporter recently, a sister of the order of | St. Margaret, who is now a nurse in one of our prominent hospitals, but who formerly was engaged in mission work at the north end, gave many interesting particulars of her experience with this disease at that time, with some hints as to the detection of | the first symptoms and the after treatment. ‘*The first symptoms are much like those of a heavy cold on the lungs,” she said. ‘There is a difficulty in breathing ; the child becomes feverish and stupid. Then} there is a very sharp pain in the glands of | the neck, just beneath the ear, and much | swelling to be noticed on the outside of the | neck. The tongue is coated, the throat and the tonsils are especially inflamed, and ! little white spots which, as they grow larger, turn to a dirty yellow or brown, are seen. There is a_ peculiar disagreeable smell from a diphtheretic sore throat which often distinguishes it from any other.”

‘What is the difference, then, between | the ulcerated sore throat and this ?”

‘The ulcerated sore throat is what old- 2 fashioned people call quinsy, but they called the diphtheric affection ‘a putrid sore throat,’ even before the real nature of diph- theria was understood.

‘The first thing that ought to be done) in such a case is to call in a doctor, but gargling with chloride of potash or flour of sulphur mixed with water is often beneficial.

SOOTHING AND GRATEFUL TO THE PATIENT,

although in many places caustic gargles are given forthe purpose of destroying the talse membrane. Creosote and glycerine is one of these, and muriatic acid and honey are sometimes applied with a camels! hair pencil to the back of the throat, or cdiiuted with water for gargling purposes. With very young children these cannot often be successfully used, but with an older child or with adults this can be done. Some doctors give adults 20 grains of, chloride of potassium in three hours, or five grains in solution every two hours for a young child. Chloride of iron and sulphate of quinine are also given, and permanganate of potassium, one} drachm dissolved in a pint and a half of water, and given in doses of a fluid drachm every hour. Milk, beef tea and other nourishing foods must be given either by injections or in the natural way, and stimu- Iants are often given to excite the action of the heart. Blood poisoning and paraly- sis of the heart are as frequently the direct causes of death as suffocation, although the stoppage of the windpipe and bronchial tubes by the false membranes is generally In poor
