Risks of Contagion From the Use of Old Paper as Vrapping for Articles of Food, Amon: the innumerable tmeans recommended for the treatment ol tases of poisoning enly a few have stood the test of time end are worthy ef general use. Asa general rule the simple means are the best and the easiest ones touse. It is they that should always be present in* the mind and that should be put into action without hesitation, There are three chief indications in the treatment of any form of poison- ing: To climinate as quickly and com- pletely as possible the poison that has been absorbed; to modify this poison chemically in such a way as toneutral- ize definitely, or at any rate tempor- arily, its poisonous effect, and, finally, to treat, by appropriate means, the dis- orders which the toxic agent may have occasioned in the working of the dif- ferent organs. Since in the majority of instances poisening oecurs by the stomach, the tirst and most important of these therapeutical indications is filled by having recourse to the artificial evacu- ation of that organ. For this purpose it is best to make use of one of the two following means: The vomitive action of certain drugs, and washing out of the stomach. In power of action vomiting is far inferior to washing, which alone frees the stomach com- pletely from the poison that has been swallowed; whereas vomiting, even when violent, is often insufficient to remove the grains of poisonous sub- stances which adhere closely to the walls of the stomach. It is, therefore, advisable to give the preference to washing the stomach. To accomplish this washing it is not necessary to have at one’s disposal a complicated apparatus. In an emer- gency any india rubber tube can be used, provided it is 2 1-2 metres long, Sto 10 millimetres in diameter, and that while being sufficiently soft not to damage the mucous membrane it shall be sufficiently resistant to pass through the entire length of the cesophagus. When the tube is once introduced the siphon can be easily started by pour- ing water into it, and if during the washing the contents of the stomach block up the tube this ean be remedied by blowing into it. This washing of the stomach can be done without much difficulty, even when the patient is entirely uncon- scious, and it shouid never be omitted, even in presence of serious symptoms of general intoxication, in the hope of thereby delivering the patient of at least a portion of the poison remaining in the stomach. In certain cases it is not enough to use plain water for washing the stomach, but when the form of poison- ing ained the liquid used should contain certain antidotes, as a weak solution of sulphate of poisoning by carbolie acid, lime water for poisoning by oxalic acid or its salts, a solution ef sulphate of zine for poisoning by acetate of lead, and a weak solution of acetate of lead for poisoning by chromic acid. If for one reason or another the stomach cannot be washed, recourse should be had to an emetic. The indication of the treat- ment of poisoning, which is to neutral- ize chemically the poison. ¢an usually ouly be filled if the toxic still in the stomach. It is evident that in this case alkaline substances should be given in poisoning by acids, or in the contrary case acids when the toxic substance has an alkaline reaction. The hydrate or peroxide ¢f iron sheuld e injected into the stomach to neutral- ize arsenic init, while in the other forms of poisoning it is wel! to use one of the above mentiowed counter poisons, wiich should be administered in pref- erence at the same time that the stomach is being washed out. But when the poison has. already been taken upinto the circulation there is little to be hoped from the us? of an- tidotes unless the case is one in which advantage can be taken of the recipro- has been asceet sucii copper in second substance is cal antagonistic action between mor- phine and atropine, or pilocarpine and atropine, so that inslead of losing time in going over the long list of antidotes it is best to concentrate all one’s efforts on the rapid and complete evacuation of the poison. Finally, as regards the means to be used for the functional dis- orders that result from general intoxi- cation, they vary naturally according to the symptoms which predominate in each particular case. Collapse of the heart should be treated by stimulants; inhibition of the respiratory center re- quires the application of cold water to the nape of the neck and artificial res- piration. To bring the patient back to consciousness mustard leaver or other the skin should be used, convulsions, in serious irritants of while for tentaniform - halations ofj ether or chloroform should be given or an infusion of valerian root administered as an enema. Lastly, in eases of serious alteration of the blood, copious bleeding should be used with- ont hesitation, followed by an intra- venous injéction of a 6 per cent. solu- tion of salt, which should be about double the quantity of that removed by the venesection. Up to the present time hygienists have paid but little attention to wrap- ping paper, undoubtedly because it is customary to use only new and clean paper for wrapping up alimentary sub- stances. Nevertheless, im some cases old paper is employed, such as worn out commercial books, newspapers, registers and printed or manuscript works.

ISLAND, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, have passed through the hands of sev- eral persons and mas wave become con- tamined with morbid germs by th» con- tact. Wien laid aside and stored up it becomes covered with dust from the atmosphere, which is often rich in th. germs of disease. Such paper may also have remained a certain length of time in a room occupied by a person affeeted with some infectious disease, such as smallpox, scarlatina, cholera or ty phoid fever, and may be covered with dust contataing the germs of these diseases. The danger is, therefore, not an imagin- ary one, and the question deserves to be seriously examined by hygienists. As for old commercial books, or ledgers, they are not prohibited ; as amatter of fact they are relatively clean and may be used for wrapping up dry articles of food. But moist ali- mentary substances should only be wrapped in white paper thas neither been used for writing nor print- ing. In conformity with the con- clusions of the Municipal Laboratory the Mayor of Montpellier has issued an order regulating in the following way the wrapping up of foodstuffs “The use of all colored paper, of which a great deal is manufactured with poisonous substances, is formally forbidden, as well as the use of any soiled paper. Printed matter, old news- papers, pamphlets, books, or manu has scripts are tolerated for wrapping dried } vegetables in conditicn that they are not soiled, All other fco?, butchers’ meat, charcuterie, pastry, butter, cheese and fish can only be enveloped in new wrapping paper, either white or colored paper,” We can only approve of this precau- tionary regulation of the Mayor of Montpellier. which other municipalities would do well to imitate. Divorce. South Carolina has for a long time held a unique position as the only state inthe union which refuses to grant divorces forany cause whatsoever. It is exceedingly interesting to note the fact that the new constitution does not alter the state’s policy in this regard. Marriages between the two races are absolutely forbidden. The age of con- sent is fixed at fourteen. Married women are accorded full rights of property. The sections in which these fourrules are laid down read as fol- lows: Divorce from the bonds of matri- mony shall not be allowed in this state. The marriage of a white person with a negro or mulatto or person who shall have one-eighth or more negro blood shali be unlawful and void. No unmarried woman shall legally consent to sexual intercourse who shal! not have attained the age of fourteen years. The real and personal property of a woman held atthe time of her mar- riage, or that which she may there- after acquire, either by gift, grant, in- heritance, device, or otherwise. shall be her separate property, and she shall have all the rights incident to the same to which an unmarried woman or «a man is entitled. She shall have the power to contract and be contracted with in the same manner asif she were unmarried.—From ‘South Caro- lina’s New Constitution,” by Albert Shaw, in the January Review of Re- views. Chicago in 1995. There was 118 homicides in Chicago during the year cnded December 31, 189. Whisky and jealousy caused the most of them. For total depravity and atrocity them equaled any crimes since the days of Cain. Others, in which despondent or insane parents killed their families and then killed themselves, excite pity more than ceasure. A number of the homicides proved to be acts of self-defense, and the slavers were exonerated from blame by the grand and _ coroner’s juries. But one murderer was hanged during the year, Harry Lyons, Octo- ber 11, for killing Albert B. Mason. Two are under sentence of death for murders committed during the vear. Henry Foster, colored. and John Ohrn. Twenty imurderers escaped arrest, and 12 were found ‘not guilty’ by juries. The figures seem to show the practical abolishment of capital punishment in Chicago. some of *An Adjective Letter” Party. **An adjective letter” will give much amusement to a party of young people. The framework is a letter to be written by one of the number describing some recent event or familiar occurrence, possibly the entertainmeut in progress. As many names are introduced as is possible and each is preceded by a blank to be filled with an adjective. The writer asks for an adjective from each member of the circle in turn to fill the space.

Notwithstanding the dangers of pros- perity and the severe test it brings to our spiritual life, #e nearly all wish to experience it, and firmly believe that in our own case we should be all the truer and more devoted if we could gain our fond wishes and realize our day dreams. But the attainment would bring unexpected trials to faith. The much-missed poet was right wl:en he said. ** When pain eyds, gain ends, too,” which means essentially that the best part of life—the real gain o# it— isin the struggle and the aspiration rather than in the attainment. The Best Wedding Day. One Wednesday in June I was in- vited to perform a marriage at “high doon.” and after an elaboratr country dinner, the groom, a Cherokee citizen, remarked, with great satisfaction, that he had always wanted to be married on Wednesday, it seemed so appropriate. ‘Seems like thal? was why it was named *Weden'sday.’” Aw Encutsn Sonprer Generally has a favorite whiskey which he calls for wher- ever he goes.

Counterfeits A few years ago agreat discovery was made. Unprincipled persons are trying to prey npon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment. Son e of the methods adopted by imitat- ors are as follows: First—To imitate the size, color and thape of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sell them by count, Secovd—To put them up to appear very nearly the same and to be offered at the same price. . Third—To hook on the word “kidney” in naming catbortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic. Fourth—To givea name so Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s. Look out for such dodges. When you want kidney medicine you want the best.

Suddenly Stricken Down by Heart Dis- ease. “A sad and sudden death occurred to a well-known citizen on one of the lead- ing streets this morning.” Nearly every large city paper cone tains daily some such heading. The number of deaths from heart failure is very large, but it is only when they eecur in some publi¢ and sensational manner that general attention is drawn to them. Palpitation and fluttering of the heart are common complaints. With the heart itself there is nothing radically wrong. But the system is disorgan- ized, the kidneys and liver are out of order, and the sfomach is not in con- dition to do its work porperly. Be- tween them all, they throw too much responsibility on ‘the heart, and the latter is unable to stand the strain.

It is now quoted at 59c, the decline from the higher figure being attributed to the bear ing of the maraet by the syndicate.
