240 bers or disappeared from the sputum in a comparatively short time after commencing treatment; also by the tendency of the disease to relapse when inhalation was discontinued. It appears probable that the oil of cinnamon tends to cure consumption in two ways: First, in the very early cases of catarrhal phthisis, by so directly affecting the bacilli as to stop their growth ; and, secondly, in cases that are rather further advanced, by only allowing organisms incapable of growth to pass along the bronchi, and thus prevent the infection of fresh lobules. Besides the live cases reported, the drug was tried in the more advanced stages of the disease, but, as might be expected, without any benefit. The symptoms subsided in the following order: The expectoration and cough were the first to improve, then the temperature tended to normal, and finally the weight began to increase. The drug may be administered from an ordinary inhaler. Continued inhalation of the vapor caused no irritation of the buccal cavity or of the air-passages, and no untoward constitutional effects were noted. Alcoholic Liquors and Physical Exercise. Nervous Diseases of Syphilitic Origin. Collins of New York has come to the following conclusions: (i) That exudative and degenerative diseases of the nervous system, due to syphilis, are most liable to show themselves at the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth decade of life. (2) Thorough and prolonged administration of antisyphilitic remedies during the activity of the virus does not seem materially to prolong this time limit. (3) That active and prolonged antisyphilitic treatment does not seem to prevent the development of such diseases as locomotor ataxia and general paresis. And, further, that the cases in which syphilis is confessed, and in which treatment has been most desultory and incomplete, are not more liabfe to the earlier development of or to the severe manifestations of either of these diseases, than those cases are in which the treatment has been all it should be. (4) That the administration of antisyphilitic remedies in the most approved way does not fulfil the requirement of cure, and that syphilis is often an incurable disease. The main object of physical exercise is to get our bodies into such a condition, whereby the average amount of working power can be utilized at anytime without harm to the bodily health. To keep up this amount of physical power and endurance, we must be obedient to certain great laws of health. One of these laws, which can never be violated with impunity, is that which forbids the use of alco holic liquors and tobacco The "Scientific Temperance Bulletin" says that strong drink and tobacco will put to naught the most elaborate system of physical training. Those who train athletes, baseball and football players, oarsmen, and all others who take part in severe physical contests, understand this, and rigidly forbid their men to touch a drop of alcoholic drink, or even to smoke or chew tobacco. Experience has proved beyond all doubt that strong drink is a positive injury, either when men are in training for or undergoing contests demanding long-continued physical endurance. The same law holds good in the ordinary physical exercises of everyday life. Alcohol and tobacco act as poisons to the nerve force which controls the muscles, and thus lessen the amount of muscular power and endurance. The Effect of Alcohol upon the Growth of Children. It has been stated that milk should not be neglected in the dietary of children, because it contains all that is necessai}r for their development—fatty substances, albumin, oxygen, and the principal minerals. With a milk dietary we may feel more assured that the growth will be normal ; that there will be no failure in height, no rachitis, no bony lesion. The use of alcohol as a drink by children is one cause of depopulation. It is even more dangerous for the adolescent than for the adult; as it causes organic changes, hinders physical development, and impairs the normal faculties even to the extent of degeneracy. San Francisco has a physician ninety-four years of age, who has been in active practice for sixty—four years.
