In rinw of Ibis something shout this prevalent Boiaanoe will be of Tala a, aapaeUIly when originating in tbe feftite brain of K. T. Trail, M. I). . WHAT IS A COUl? Everybody apeak* of it aa an acquisition or Imposition; a tonir,thing that we have obtained or haa taken up a “local habitation and a name” on or with in aa, or that, in aome strange man ner, haa potaeaaed or “obaeeaed' ns. When aiek of a oo'd we hare a vague idea that aome. thing not of na ia aomawbara within na or all through no, and somehow doing something that ia destructive to tha vitel machinery. Wa aay wa have “taken cold.' We might na wail aay that told hat take* va. Neither ia true. It would be much nearer tha truth to aay that we have taken heat. How awkwardly “I have caught a vary had beat" would round! Bat .only bocaaae the expreaeion ia nnfa miliar. It ia not scientifically oorrect, bnt much nearer adeotifie truth than the everyday phrase, “I have got a aevera cold.'' Wa an all snSdentiy familiar with tha ding, natio at a cold—the symptoms and feehnga which oonatitnte its phenomenology ; a sore nose: a disposition to sneeze; a tenderness of the ayaa; a heaviness of the head; a neuralgic numbness of tho scalp; a tickling In tha throat; more or lorn inclination to cough; stiffness in some of the mnaelaa; an all-over sense of weari- ness, and, in bad oases, running at tha nose and violent cough, with more or leas feverishness and chilliness promiscuously interUended. m rAiaotoor. Tbe whole explanation ia dododblo from the fact Out wo have overheated ourselves after be ing preternatnrally cooled; or, in leas technical parlanoe, the transition from odd to heat haa been too sudden, that is all. If we should be cooled down to any degree, even lo the freezing point, or anywhere between32 degress and OH degrees Fahrenheit, and kept in that oondition, wa should never have a “cold.” We could not pomihly, under' snob circumstances, "get a cold,” nor would “a oold” got na. We cooid not "oatch" it, nor would it catch us. Wa should be cold, but, paradoxical as it may aaem, we abonld not have “a oold." Wa might die; we might freeze to death; we might oeaae to Uve, because of oold, bnt we should not have any disease whatever. A frog may be frozen as bard and stiff as a caks or lee, remain no an indefi nite time, then be thawed out again, and leap about as lively aa over, without the slightest symptom of having taken “a cold." Bo we aee that the rationale of “acold” ia not to be found in mere oooling, nor beating, nor in both, but in something very different—s statement that ap plies to ail the maladies that flesh or bone ia heir to, aa well aa to a “cold.” Cold, therefore, is not disease, bnt “acold” la. Cold ia only a diminution of beat, and beat is only a mode of motion. To beoomo oold is merely to lose a certain amount of heat —molecular motion. It is with the living or ganism aa with all other materiel substances, so far as tho “correlation of forces” ia con cerned. If tbe atove in your room is cold, it is bees use the particles of iron which compose it move more slowly. Increase their velocity a little by starting a fire in it, and tbe metalic atomy revolve more rapidly on tbeiraxes. Tbe oold »tove beoomei warm. We aay the latent heat has heroine tcnoible heat. Tyndall says “tremulous molecular motion.” Aed fuel to the fire, and the “latent" heat becomes still more “sensible. The ferruginous atoms move still faster. “Molecular motion” now instead of being moderate or “tremulous," ia violent. Increase the Are still more, and the atove be- oomes red-hot. Molecular motion is now very rapid, and the particles of the atove recede bo far from each other that tbe stove becomes po rous to certain gases. Then it is that, in the ordinary ooal stove, carbonic oxids, a dead ly poison, pannes through the seemingly solid sides of the stave as water runs through a sieve. Then it ia that, nnleas tbe room is un usually well ventilated, yon are aare to be poisoned with irreepirablo gases. And this is one of the many ways of “ taking cold.” “OAniAAST CONOE8TION" IS what's THX VATTEU. lint, having got the oold, whet is it? It is, simply “capillary congestionthat is, an over- distention of the blood-vessels of ths port which iasaid to be the “seat” of it. Cold in tho head” means congestion of tbe Schneiderian membrane which lines the nostrils to that degree that heat and pain result when the nmooua membrane is properly said to he inflamed. Tbe difference therefore, between e local “oold" and a local in flammation is only a difference of Degree. It would be just as proper to term inflammation of the lungs (pneumonia), “cold in the chest" as to apply ths phrase “cold in tho bead” to in flammation of the mucous membrane of the nose. In strict medical parlance, when the capillary vessels of any organ or part arc dls proportionately filled with blood (overloaded,) tbe congestion may be applied, if tbe part so affected la painlul, the word irritation is em ployed. And fi tbe pagtaaro painful and hot also, the term inflammation is used. These terms, therefore, moan simply different degrees and ronditiona of obstruction in the capillary blood- novr it vroBKS. Now, “rolda,” bowevor canted, differ in Uie manifestation of their symptoms according to the oonditiona of the various organs of the pa tients at the time of “taking" it. “One who is very plethoric may be “struck” with apoplexy or palsy; one whoso blood is very fonl may be "stuoked” with typhoid fever; one whose joints ere obstructed with earthy or saline panicles may be “seized" with rheumatism or gout; one whet* bowels have long been constipated rosy have a "touch" of dysentery, ora “run" of dlarrhiea; and one whose liver has long been torpid may have a bilious “turn,” provid ed, in all eases, the exposure to oold, and then lo heat, be sufficiently extreme. But if the . cause lie alight, the effect will be correspond ingly light, and ooly amount to a “common cold,” which means a moderately sore noae and a alight degree of feverishness. rmavumoit or oold. To get away from thia infliotion, one must avoid extreme alterations of temperature, and when one baa been expoaed to oold he must hast the body very gradually. Never go near a hot atove or steam ooil because the sensation ia agreeable. A oold part of the body cannot be warmed too slowly, for the good of the struc tures composing it. The safety of e frozen pert is always secured by thawing it as slowly aa pos sible. A part may be frozen and thawed a hundred times without appreciable injury, if properly managed, as I have repeatedly de monstrated. Who ever beard of the explorers of the Arctic regions “taking oolda” Of all who acoompa nied Buchan, Franklin, Boss, Forty and Kane, no one was ever aiek of a oold, although living fur months and yean at a temperature many degrees below the freezing point. In 1820, a Mr. Blaok, of Bir John Franklin's party, trav eled alone 1,100 miles with the thermometer 50 degrees below aero. He had only a blanket and deerskin to sleep trader, and was frequently without food for two or three deya at a time. Yet be did not take oold. Chiliblaina are among the familiar examples of tbe evil oonsequeocea of warming the hands and feet too rapidly after having been exposed to extreme cold. The moat efficient preventatives of “oold' are equable clothing and pore sir. Especially ia it important to protect the feet. The writer then proceeds to allude lo the danger of fashionable clothing which, in the case of women and children, ia mainly about the hipa and abdomen, while the feet and legs are Insufficiently protected, and whose results are oolda in the head, while a consumptive pre disposition and diathesis are often wholly trace able to thin shoes and stocking*. Nothing ao effectually prepares the system for taking oold as fool air, and hence, oar churohea, school, bo uses, hospitals, halls, and railway ran are preparations for this com plaint. It is the rule among all people that colds, catarrh, roughs, bronchial affections, and pulmonany consumption prevail precisely in proportion aa the people Uve indoors. Fire and clothing should be used to the extent demanded by the most pleasant bodily feelings, providing there ia a supply of pure fresh air. It is a mistake to try and keep a room warm by abutting the oold out. Nothing renders a ; aoa more susceptible to takeooldor be attac with rheomatio affections, be “seized” with typhoid pneumonia or influenza, and to have "seated" inflammations and “running" fevers, than the fonl blood resulting from bad air. A truly hygienic method for warming and ventil ating houses is etiU among the desiderata of ao-1 eial problems. Bathing, as a preventive, ia all that has ever been claimed for It, provided it ia employed hy- gienically. But in thia matter many penont spoil a good thing by overdoing, aa they do gymnastics, or aa one might apod a good din- tor, or tha good of a dinner, by eating too mnch of it.

It should not be prolonged more than 20 to 25 minutes. There ia not mnch to choose between warm and vapor baths to "break up" rolda (which means, to curs ths patient so soon that inflammation or fever will not "supervene,”) bnt it is important that the patient be not excessively bested with either process. By overheating the surface the existing capillary engorgement is increased, ths patient uaeiemly weakened, and the effects of tho “cold” in various ways aggravated. AHD A DJOdflTXOlV WIT SHEET. B the patient ia feverish (having passed the ■tegs of rigors or chills), nothing is better than the wet-sheet peck for on hour, provided it is judiciously managed. Tbe sheet may be dipped in warm, tepid, oool, or cold water, as either may be most agreeable to the sensations of the patient. But when the wet sheet is impractica ble, the next best thing is the tepid or moder ately warm bath—90 degrees to 95 degrees—pro longed for 30 to 40 minutes. When there is much headache, or congestion of the lungs (in dicated by laborious respiration), or a diffused feeling of eorsorai through the chest, the warm hip-bath and the hot foot-bath should be con- joincd. For the irritating rough ("barking ), that ia ■o hsT*srifig to many patients, nothing is better ijisn frequent small draughts of warm water; and when the throat is inflamed, or the tonsils awollen ao that deglutition is painfal, a wet nap kin oovered with a dry cloth should be put around the neck and worn until relieved, re- weting the doth as often as it becomes dry. It should be wet in oool water. otheb anrroip. When tbe muscles of the neck are stiff and lame, or the intercostal muscles so tender that it is painful fully to inflate the lungs (e condi tion often mistaken for pleurisy), fomentations should be applied till the symptoms ere re lieved. Among the remedial agents not to be despised in the treatment of colds, are retpiratory oxer- cite*. The patient should lie flat on the back, the bead raised a little with a pillow, and in this position should practice deep and full in spirations and expirations, expending the lungs as ranch as possible without pain or fatigue. Those who have never tried this “ movement- cure ” process may perhaps be astonished at the facility with which it will relieve all tbe bad feelings and symptoms. If adopted in the In cipient stages of an " awful oold,” and vigor ously employed for 10 or 15 minutes, once in an hour or two, it will prevent s dangerous de gree of congestion of the lungs and thereby ob viate the supervention of bronchitis or pneu monia.

For nearly half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Georgia Journal and Messenger, either separately or united, have been the great organs of general intelligence to this and the contiguous sections of Georgia and Alabama. In all the varied social, civil and political experience of this region daring that extended and momentous period in its history, these old Journals have been tbe constant and famibar visitors of thousands of households -in this vast area of country, and have numbered their readers and patrons by successive generations. In the whole scope of this great Agricultural section of two of the most important Cctton States, the fortunes of these journals have varied simply with the varying fortunes of the people, and to-day their cir culation and hold upon the public confidence and estimation have never been exceeded at any period in their long history. Indeed, as the demands upon newspapers became yearly more exacting—the expen ses of publication increase and concentration of capital and labor be come more indispensable, so, we are glad to say, our circulation and influence increase with equal steps. The former have multiplied more than tenfold in the last twenty years, and the circulation and business of the Telegraph and Messenger have increased in the same propor tion. We rejoice to believe that in no section of the United States is there a newspaper possessing a more complete occupation of its pecu liar field of circulation than do the various editions of the Telegraph and Messenger, within that whole region of country to which it can cany the earliest intelligence. Its circulation in gross we suppose to be not exceeded by that of any newspaper in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, with perhaps a single exception, but its cir culation in its appropriate and particular field, is without an approxi mating rival. These are the circumstances and this the condition which make the Telegraph and Messenger such a remarkably good Advertising Me dium. There is scarcely a family or individual doing business with Macon, within a radius of two or three hundred miles around the city, who does not read the paper, so that an advertisement in its columns reaches all eyes. The Macon merchant can scarcely add a greater publicity to his business, among people who can trade with him, after he has advertised in this paper. The Northern or Western merchant or manufacturer can rely on the fact that by advertising in this paper he will address the whole mercantile, professional and agricultural population of this large area, and need go no further for that purpose. We are frequently in receipt of testimonials from advertisers of all classes as to the peculiar value of this newspaper as an advertising medium. And we are ready to place these advantages at the disposal of the public on the most reasonable terms compatible with our expenses and circulation. Our policy is to encourage advertising by moderate charges; but it must be obvious to every man of common sense that we cannot multiply copies of advertisements by thousands, for the same price that others can furnish them by scores and hundreds. This point is better understood in the great commercial centres where ad vertising is valued and paid for precisely according to the scale of cir culation—where one paper will be cheerfully paid three dollars a line and another five cents a line for the same advertisement, according to their measure of circulation. The first furnishes paper, press-work and circulation for a hundred thousand impressions, and the latter perhaps for a few hundreds. The contracts have all the difference which exists between a pound and hogshead of sugar ; but both, it may be, print and circulate a merchant’s address to the public for less than half what a corresponding number of circulars or handbills would cost, which could have no other circulation than they might obtain from a range of limited personal acquaintances and mere fugacious personal efforts. There can be no cheaper or better method of ad vertising than through the columns of a popular, widely circulated newspaper, which by long habit and association has become the daily source of information to all within the scope of country which fur nishes the trade of its commercial centre. All other expedients to communicate with the people are comparatively inefficient and value less. We place the Telegraph and Messenger before the public, as a certain, popular, and unrivalled medium of advertising communica tion with all that part of Georgia and Alabama which looks to Macon for its market or for the earliest news.

It is designed to contain a full and connected history of the week, and although its great size is complained of by some, yet we find the whole space essential to the grand design of the paper. A family in possession of this paper need be ignorant of no important event in the world’s current history, or miss any important idea or discovery of the times. In State news it covers the whole ground and gives all current events of importance in every county of Georgia. It also furnishes an invaluable original summary of foreign news—and gives the latest market advices from every commercial point. This paper is a universal favorite of the Georgians who have emigrated to Texas and other distant points, and in this way its cir culation is coextensive with the United States and is, in fact, scattered over foreign countries, We feel that so invaluable a. paper, large as its circulation is, has never yet attained the fuU measure of its deserts, Will not its readers everywhere interest themselves in extending the sphere of its useful ness ? The price of the paper is three dollars per annum, but if any reader has a mind to add another new subscriber to the list, he may remit five doUars, and we will send the paper to the new subscriber and add a year to bis own account.
