Editobs : Being in receipt of letters from Shis and adjoining stataa, requesting a state ment of aay treatment in the diaaara known as “Carebro Spinal Meningitis,” not having the time to devote to snewering the communications, I have thought proper to give a synoptical statement of my treatment through the eolnms of the secular press of this city, thereby enabling the profession to employ the treatment during the present epi demic in this end adjoining States, which I would not ba able to communicate through the medical press in time for the present season. Another reason is that numerous phyaiciana take no medical periodical. The following treatment should not be employed by any one but a skillful physician, as to such the communication is addressed. to Tax wanicar. rnorsssiox. The following treatment which has been employ ed by me sinoe the winter of 1862—63, with uni form success, in all cases, whore the treatment has been institn-ed within twenty-four hoars after the derelepmeat of the promised symptoms. In the first p aoe discard all ideas of this disease being an inflammatory affection of the brain an 4 spinal eord, saturate a flannel (folded several times) with spirits of tnrpentina. Apply this along the whole coarse of the spine, pass orsr this after the ordin ary mode of ironing, a common aad or smoothing iron well heated. Continue this for ten or fifteen minutes, until you have well stimulated the spine In the meantime give quinine in heroic doses, to be repeated every two or three hours, until all symptoms are overcome. Follow each does of quinine with a heroic 4o*e of bromide of potassium combined in solution with au ordinary dose of solid extract Hvoacyarans. The object of the bromide is to control reflex action, and the dose should be regulated according to the head and spinal symp toms, aa this is dependant on electro-mnuie changes in the periphery of the nerves. From this the ac tion or the modns operandi of the quit ine and bro mide will be readily understood by the intelligent physicians. Under no circumstances use a fly blister or opiates in the outset of this diftasn Avoid all cold applications to the head and spine When constipation exists, which is generally the ease, use large doses of calomel every three hoars, until the bowels sot freely. Physicians can rely on this treatment when instituted in time. J. J Knott, M. D. [From the Phil.delphit Fiess.j About Prominent Kx-CoSfod eratern.

Some black, rascally, stormy night you are turned ot t in the streets and ponds and mill races, or amid snow eighteen inches deep, and drifting like blnzr’s, and told to run for a doctor. When you get home again, eight chan ces to ten. a little red looking thine, about the size of a big merino potato, awaits you. They call it a baby • and packed up with it you wilt find the first real squalls of married life—you can b'-t on tl.at. 3. Paregoric, and soothing syrup, and catnip tea, and long fl rnnel. and diaper stuff, and baby cholic—they will come along too; :n fact, they will become just as much at home in the house as dinner.

Rock i,’bye bebjr, ou e tree-tap.’’ or sonr.e such melody. And all the time that baby yells. Oh, dosen't he yell! while Mary Ann, up to her mas under the warm bed covers, to help out every nowand then impatiently puts in just at the wrong place- “Why don’t you trot him faster Samuel f" And you trot him—oh how you do trot him ! If you could only trot his wind out so far that he never could get any of it back again, or break his back, or neck, or something, you would be immeasurably happy. But, no.

Thk Spskd of Railway Trains is E vgasi: . interesting details concerning th. speed of railway trains in Eug'au i have recently been puhiish- Ad. Toe average rate of speed at which the quickest rxpreat train travels is 47 3 4 miles an hour. But there are two lines on which th s pace is exeee led. The ten o'clock train on the Great Nor thern road reached Pete thorough at half-past eleven, the distance is 76 1 4 miles, »nd the pace 51 miles an hour. The quarter to twelve train on the Gre t Western nukea the run to Swin don, 77 1-5 miles, without stopping, and does it in 1 hour and 27 minutes, or at the rate ot 53 1-4 miles an hour. There are a number of other roads which make runs at the rate of from 45 to 52 miles an hour, but the journey from London to Bath by the quarter to twelve train is the qaickest in the world. The distance in 107 miles, and it is done in 2 hours and 13 minutes, including a stoppage of 10 minutes at Swindon. Tbe actual time in travaling is 2 hours and 2 minuets, sometime over 52 miles au hour. Governor Washburn, in his late mes sage to the Legislature of Wisconsin, holds that under the Constitution the people are absolute matters of every railway in th-: State. Corporate powers in the United States are vast and over shadowing, he says, and a just cause of alarm; but, if Wisconsin railroads op press the people, the Legislature can, if they will, always protect the public, who. on their part, car. always control the Legislature. This is an advanced position and is likely to create consid erable attention and discusson in the country. Savannah New*.
