stwortoa peridone.
A somewhat noverplan of reducing cor-
pulency to graceful dimensions has been
devised by a German medical writer. The
author,•in a einall paimphlet (" Cotpulancy
.tend its Cure, accordieg•:to Physiologiced
Principles," hy Dr..W. Einstein, Wiesbaden,
second edition,'1882), points out defects in
the various treatments iti vogue-Banting's
and the mineralwater systena. The leuriout
thing, however, is his own method, which,
he says, has the venerable authority of
Hippocrates. . In - the author's lepinion,,
corpulency is caused by- too great a quan-
tity of albuminoids and of sweets; and the
cure is to diminish theseand to increase
the quantity ot fat in the food. He gives
an example of the success of his dietetics.
A healthy man; 44 years of Age, who' from
his 25th year had begun to grow verYstout,
owing to a sedentary life and to -the dietetic
use of an eicess of alcohol, of fklburiainoids
and Of sweets', lost 20 lbs. in six months of
• the prescribed diet. It may be added that,
though the proportion on fatty neatteirs was
large, the diet altogether wars little bette
than starvation fare.

An exchange says: At this time of the

Prot. litunsay Wright Lectures on the
Genus at Disease.
At the Canadian Institute lately Prof.. R.
Rameay Wright delivered his lecture on
the germ theory ' of • disease. Associated
with certain diseases there are invariably
found in the blood noiCroscopio organisms
of &vegetable olaaraoter. These organisms
are introduced into the systern in the form
of spores through the medium of the air,
water or food, by the skip, lungs or
intestinalcanal. -The lecturer described
at coneiderable length the natural hietory
of these organisms, and- effects of the
introduction of the various kinde of them
into the blood. The class of the
vegetable kingdom to which they belong
is the Thalophytes. This class is sub-
divided into. (1) the 'Algae or colored
plants, feeding on the carbonic acid of the
air or Water, and .(2) the Fungi, or color-
less plants, feeding on organic matter, and
known as parasites and saprophies. The
fungi are classified according to their mode
of reproductiou, by division, congregation
or otherwise. Those reproducing by divi-
sion' are balled Scl3uzoplutes, of which
there are tea varieties. ProfessorWright
showed views.of the various kinds of fungi,
describing them physiologically, and the
diseases with which they ore associated.
In the human Mouth there are always to
be found an enormous number 'of fuegi,
impossible to get rid of. These -fungi have
an extraordinary .faculty of penetrating
through tissue, and even find their way
into the solid- teeth, causing • caries.

sleep.
Th`e Kingston CaSe of somnolency is
attracting great attention. The patient is
a married lady between N and 60 years of
age. A prominent, physician says that
many years ago she took ill with a sort of
nervous weakness, resulting in loss of
strength. Thence she. passed into somno-
lency, partook oflittle-nourishment;prin-
, cipally liquids, and could not speak' or
move. Her pulse 'VMS regular, and the -
doctor judged She was "free from pain. She
was conscious, however, and could indicate
whenever she desired anything. For years
she lay in bed or reclined in a chair'and
finally she regained her wonted health. and
strength. Again, about 1880, elie !showed
symptoms of another nervous attack; and
she was indisposed during the winter and
gradually passed into a state ef lethargy.
Again she hes perfectly still and sleeps, the
functions of the body seeming to be natur-
ally performed. The physician attending
her /nada a, study of the case, as it is the '
only one of Enoch a character he has ever

playing on that side. Throw water in the

Ron. D -avid Laird (ex-Miniisfer th
Mackenzie Govarnnaeut) has been writing a
series of articles about the. climate of the
Northwest in the ClaarlottetoWn Patriot,
arid he concludes in these words: "The
climate' of our great western country is
therefore adapted to the growth of cereals
and vegetables. It is, though extremely
cold in winter, favorable to health. Owing
to the dryness of the atmosphere, and the
consequent rapid transpiration from the
surface of the body, the pores of the skin
are kept open, and though persons when
exposed may feel a temporary discomfort
from the froet, and may readily get frost-
bitten, yet do not take a cold HO readily as
in this humid climate. A cough tie a rare
thing in the Northwest, unless brought on
by great, carelessness.- "Wes -heard -more -

did during the whole four years we were -
