Dr. Loeffler, of firiefewald, who also read
a paper on this eubject, completed in the

The biteilli continue to live fortr or five
months in fragments of dried diptheritio

to disinfect rooms itt the most thorough
manner, and especially to scrub the floor

ATAXIA.
In the report of the Limoges Congress a
very simple, and interesting means oi modi-
fying the 1sdnfal crises in lot:emotes ataxia.
If this means were to prove successful in
0V(ily 011.0 R11 immense service would have
beery rendered to those unhappy individuals
whose terrible suffbrings hispire pity in the
most hardened breasts and so often lead
those patients to morphinomanird.
In the ease of (me of these patients who
Inul reached an advanced stag,o of the disease
Mr. Mossi suoceeded by compression of
the nook in putting a stop to most distress-
ing crises of dysputon, us well as to the fool-
ing of thorium and cervical constriction,
This means was successful on several oo-
casions and in a very manifest way, but the
time (lush% which the effect lasted varied
This is a new phenomenon, as far as my
knowledge goes at any sato, the visceral
complications of tubes, It seems that by
this process the same effect is produced as
that which is obtained by the compression
of special zones in hysteria or of the painful
spots in some forms of noureigia. The re-
sult was immediate and effective, but, as
might have been expected, it clici not last
long.
Are we to believe that it WU really the
compression of the pnetunogastrie nerve
that produced the effect mentioned 7 In con.
sideration of the complicated anatomy of
the region on which the pressure was exeet-
ed it would not be possible to assert that it
was the direct action on these nerves tiluff
brought about the desired result ; therefore
without trying to explain the physiological
mechanism of this phenomenon, I be
satisfied with making public the results Clittb

al regions of the nook in arises depending

All Forms of Life Cellular.
All life is ; this is Doe of the low-
est. plant aud 111 1110 (nest highly developed
animal. In the unicellular organism all the
functions of life must be perfermed by the
tam cull t it must absorb, digest and
exereto. It must feeturclate and reproditee
its species. As we ascend the scale of (le •
velopment WO find a greater number of rolls
in the body. Not only do the cells multiply
nrunber, but there is a division of lathe.
among them, and the more marked this
differentiation becomes, the highee stands
the organism. Inman, some cells take upon
themselves the duties of digestion, others
that of elitnination ; some tiro concerned in
locomotion, others in celebration ; others
reason from the facts thus recognized, Com-
munities of cells, engaged in the performance
of certain duty or duties, constitute an
organ ; MM. those, with their paths of inter-
communication, form our bodies. Health is
maintained only when each of these vitt•ious
communities of svorkers does its duty fully.
If the panoreas fails to elaborate its proper
secretion, the footl does not undergo the nots
mal digestive changes, and the liver, the
heart, the thugs, the brain, and in short, the
whole mass, becomes diseased or out o
health.
Diphtheria in Chewing -Gum.
A contemporary thus calls attention to
the possible spreading of diphtheria, through
chewing:gem :
"The practice of chewing gum has be-
come '1,ery wide spread. It is not a very ele-
gant habit 1 to many it is positively repul-
sive ; and these are sources of danger, too,
that should not be overlooked. A. case in
point was related to us a few days ago.
Diphtheria broke out in a family in East;
Dos Moines, After the child had recovered,
the clothing and the exposed articles
fully disinfootecl, the parents, with the con-
valesoont Child,. visited some relatives in the
country. The indispensable chewing -gum,
like Satan, wept also—in the mouth of tho
little child. Prompted by genevosity, it
allowed if s oountry cousins—two children—
to chow also the gum previously chewed by
the visiting ehild. In three or four clays,
without an,y tithes known source of 111
fectioo than the chewing -gum, the two
children were shnultaneously stricken
down with diphtheria in a most seri+
pus form, would be bard to
imagine a more suotiossful mode of propaga-
tion—distributing the disease, It W001111)0

weak head and & depraved appetite, our
advice is, don't `swap' gum to chew any
body else's gum, nor allow any body else to
chow yours,"

there is no beauty, there is no virtue, there

term is negation in reference to anything
that belongs to it. All music and beauty,
all virtue and tenderness, all chivalry and
selfthaerifice. You oannot be theologically
weong, and yet morally and socially right.
We know what it is to have done the evil
deed, and then to have seen all the sunshine
run away from the universe like a thing
ittlliighted. A bad man draws a pall over the
mourning ; he plucks the forbidden fruit, and
his eyes are opened, and lie runs. Find hitn
