WHAT MAKHpiBY CRY. SIGNS WHICH INDICATE DISEASE IN INFANT®. A Physician’s to Mothers and Nliflttipivillints from a Lecture by Dr. Chen ary, o: Harvard, Before the Boston lAdfijJpPliysioloeri cal Institute. J^HB| From the Wmrd. Before we can understand t£r* syllable of infantile pathology, we mtUfrat learn the alphabet of inftmtUphya(oly; for here, as with older persona, a elearltnowledge of what is normal in function is necessary, as the “cerium stake and stones’’ to form a point front which tp determine all abnormal departure*] Naturl demands that twenty out of the twp'JHpfcur hours be passed in sleep for tb^jSMrt' month, and for the first few days nearly Wi th'- time aunts, uncles, cousins, graflflastrsats and neighbors wishing to see thou baby*■■Siopvittastauding. Now look at that, iiUfcalpeper and study your lesson. Its poaitJqjjuKtosy and natu ral. It is not daslaHgKlpe. The lips are not white, nor The skin is soft and slightly sweaty nor dry, nor is there eyciiMyiß,tiipist'are on the hands or head expression is natural, not ltaflHu3E,oces not kick, toss, twist, moan, jaws or teeth, it it has any. The nptfHlneirlt quietly; are not contracted or exjwndea* The fontanelle is not widely open; nofi' ft it. closed; it is not depressed nor swollen up hard and throbbing, but gently moves with every respiration. The eyes are closed, rolled up,' and the pupils are evenly con tracted, as one under a heavy dose of opium, but they immediately expand on awaking. When the child is asleep, the first week the pulse is about 1112; it quickens ten or fifteen boats on awaking, and grows more rapid on nursing, excitement or fright. It gradually slows with age, and at the end of the third year gets down to 100 or 00. or even less. It does not decrease so much during sleep, nor fly so furiously under fright or excitement, and, should it now rush up to 130 or more with heat and sickness, it is well to think of nuts, plum-cake or a liberal handful of candy. SLEEPING AND WAKING. Notice the head—its shape and temper ature; the long bones—whether they be straight and then-heads small: the respira tion—it is easy and natural, with a rapidity of about 84 while the child is asleep and on an average of 80 when awake} During‘the second year it gets down to 18 in sleep, where it remains for several years, always rising when the child awakes. Put your hand on the child. Is it warm, not hot nor cold; Is the flesh firm, not hal'd nor soft! Having begun your lesson, goon using your senses till you have made' yourself largely and accurately familiar with whatever lie longs to the normal general appearance and function of the child when asleep and awake, and know that, as a negro will put down his burden before he answers your question, so the infant holds its breath when ever it moves its head or hand or tries to smile. Not oply will the practical physician see all these things and make deductions accord ingly, but he looks at the parents, the older children, the room—its furnishings, neat ness. surroundings, its air, light, heat, etc. Dr. Dubrunfant says red should be pro scribed for our furniture, except for the cur tains. Whether he Is correct in this or not it is certain that light is of immense import ance to sound health and growth, being pre servative against disease as it is curative in sickness. THE CHILD’S CRYING. The child, on beg inning to breathe, should plump up, grow firm and rosy and yell loudly. After crying out a little—and we .-eek to make it do tliat for the purpose of insuring full expansion of the air-cell—the normally born child will stop its crying if it is all right and properly cared for. But it may soon begin to cry again, and what does this mean? It means that the child feels that something is wrong, and this is the way it makes its feelings known. Go, then, and see what the matter is, and do not give up the search till you have found out. The child may feel cold; it may be constrained in some part or it is pressed upon, or, most likely, it has been wrapped in a woolen blanket, and the cut ends of the wool are teasing its tender skin and it is in torment. Most people think that there is a natural affinity between the delicate surface of the child, which has hitherto felt only the touch of a bland fluid, and a woolen garment. Now, I have experimented on this subject till I am satisfied there never was, and there never will be. WOOLEN CLOTHING. And yet what woman about to become a mother will not go down town and buy a woolen outfit—band, socks, blanket and all, and what is not wool is made up of starched or gum-arabic stiffened cotton? When these are tightly on, vvhk* has the little suf fering creature'to do but ,‘o cry and tell how uncomfortable it is and that it cannot sleep? Awhile since there was a yelling in my neighborhood flay and night, and for the sake of all concerned I told my wife to go in and see if the suffering creature was not dressed in woolen, and if so to tear up some old pillow slip and tuck the pieces in between the clothes and the child. She went and we heard no more noise from that quar ter. Sow. I do not mean to bring a railing accusation against wool as an article of chess for a child, but what I do mean to say is, that a woolen garment should never be applied next to the skin of a child. Let all woolen garments be lined or worn outside pf others. In the neglect of this rule wool has slain its thousands. If it has not directly killed them it has caused them to cry till they were killed by dosing. If they have escaped out of all this they have been seriously, if not hopelessly, injured. More over, who can tell the wretchedness brought on the mothers from worry aud loss of sleep} THE BATH. , But the child cries when it is washed. And why should it not? What says your Physiology ? The temperature of the new- P°ru sinks considerably below normal dur >ng the first few minutes. In a chilled eon <-i:ion do you take your baths? If so, do you oq it hi a cool room? The application , hspid water further abstracts the bodily mat and renders the child more uncom fortable, and it speaks out as it ought to. -Vnv what will be the result if you use tepid , wstead of the w ater ? Will the child cry ? - think not. Not only is water used ■ ueh chills the child, but auntie uses soap i ’ ’he water and splashes the suds into the I'ut’v s eyes, which It has not yot learned to Kcen.tjgiitiy closed. It cries with the smart “"I is likely to cry for the next fortnight nil sure eyes. I declare it is my belief tn<i. a very large proportion of the cases of oujunotival inflammation I have seen in iiiD newborn have had their origin in soap. ", 11,1 it it be true that forty per cent, of the ' iscs of total blindness, as the asylums re ' ''aye come from ophthalmia neona .1 1 ,Ull -inflamed eyes of the newborn—what *bcse must wo not credit to the mis- UWI of this useful agent? WHY THB CHILD CBUCS. ♦hfi i n is always something wrong when inf i , cries at necessary attentions. Most Keiy the fault is our own, in that we have h 1 , our work as we should have done o' niluren do not cry for nothing. If ,! ‘“‘l wu should lie justified in giving “ to tbe Hindoo to lie drowned; for at would they not say if they lived to Blew up? J cl 1 !? , chil( J cries when it is swaddled too ' ' when a pin pricks; when It is *# irritated by too \infrequent ~j t wet diapers. It cries when it is kiw. 1 *."" 1 P r °pdrly fed; when its mouth ii o', ,UM , wants wafer; when it can’t get when it is too warm or too cold. * iJ,T, 'i OIU sto, uni 'h ache and from colic; In e 1,.., i are cviiAtipatcd or inflamed. W .of 1 ' of tlio bowels its note is murmuring. f Mmsf t l , lorows itilf alxiut pn its sleep, and cries out tfroni the ftritation of pm worms, particularly on the full moon, it gives a distressful cry at the close of a suppressed cough in pleurisy aud in pneu monia. and in acute bronchitis. When it nas acute coryza it cries because it cannot nufse, not being able to breathe through its nose. It cries sharply with earache, putting its hand to its ear or pressing the side of the nead down upon the breast of its mother. Sharp, piercing cries suggest brain aud eerebro-spinal troubles. But nature has made the child to bear a great deal w ithout crying, as it otherwise would, because of imperfect development of the nerves of feeling. Infantile anatomy snows us that the cornua of the posterior columns of the spinal cord, from which the sensitive nerves spring, are not advanced in development as is the case with the anterior, U'oni which the nerves of motion spring. And this accounts for the fact that the small child may fall, get cut, be stepped on, or get its lingere in the door or under the win dow and not be hurt so much or suffer so long with the same injury as would be the case with older children. It also accounts for the fact that they have a great ten dency to spasms and convulsions, as com pared with the older, and when they do occur they do not mean so much. It is only in grave diseases that older children have convulsions, except in epilepsy. There is also another fact to be noticed. The lachrymal glands do not come to their func tions till about the fourth month, so that the cry of the young infant is without tears, while after four months it is not a good sign for a child to cry and not shed tears. Thus the great French physician. Trousseau, con sidered it a good sigii for the child over four months up to seven years to shed tears when it cried, and a tearless crying to be a bad omen. MORALS OF THE RED MAN. Criticism of the Government by the Indian School Organ. From Washington Tetter to the Sew York Herald. About two weeks ago the result of the ob servations of a special committee of the United States Senate, consisting of Sena tors Platt of Connecticut, Culloin of Illinois, and Blackburn of Kentucky, in re gard to the manner in which Indian trader ships and o'ther Indian matters generally were conducted, was published. The Morn ing Star, the organ of the Indian schools, has this to say in reply to the semi-official publication of Senatorial opinion: WISE SENATORS. “So the Senatorial committee were spec tators at an Indian dance. It will be noted that the dispatch says nothing about their having visited the'lndian school at the Osage Agency. Their visit to the dance and omission of the school would indicate to the Indians that the dance was the important element of the reservation life they wished to see. The fact that they came to criticise and condemn will probably never reach the Indians, who will rest under the belief that they did the most proper thing they could to entertain their great visitors. We do not disagree with the general statements show ing the want of progress among the Osages. It would be singular if they did make progress when they have fifty miles square of land set apart for their exclusive use, from which is shut out in the most absolute manner every element of and necessity for instruction and progress per taining to our civilization except tne merest noffiinal showing of an agent and a few em ployes. Commerce, except that of a trader or two whose acts the committee wexe in quiring into, is prohibited. Industry, mills, manufactures of every sort dare not enter, railroads cannot go. Schools and churches find no welcome outside the one agency school. The people are all the wards of the government, and the government has as sumed all responsibility over them mentally, morally and physically. HINDERED FROM IMPROVEMENT. “By the exclusion of industrial helps, etc. —these absolutely indispensable factors in the elevation of all men—the government has indicated unmistakably its intention to starve and destroy these people mentally, morally and physically. The statement, ‘but to find that beings who had experi enced the best efforts of American philan throphy for a score of years had made no appreciable advance beyond the state of their savage ancestors was an unexpected and painful revelation,’ shows plainly that this committee of great men were com pletely blinded as to the facts. We have known the Osages for many years, and ob served their condition personally from time to time, and feel free to say that ‘the best efforts of American philanthropy,’ as illus trated in what has gone to them, is only paralleled in absurdity by the inquiries and criticisms of the committee in regard to the young men alleged to be ‘Carlisle graduates.’ Turning to our record, we find that we have had in all at this school eighty four Osages; that none of them stayed with us over three years; that more than half stayed with us less than a year, and that we have had no Usages at the school since Aug. 17, 1885, at which time the then about forty were ordered to Martinsburg, Pa. The day of miracles has not yet returned, and Indians cannot be educated and graduated in three years any better than white children. But the point on which we would lay'the most stress is the fact that there is no evidence that the committee made inquiries into the condition of the other eighty-two, who hail been at Carlisle. THOSE HORRIBLE DANCES. “Another singular conict-like phenome non in connection with this subject is to be found in the records the daily press has kept covering the transactions of these same days in the world’s history. After a long period of a most wonderful popularity and success in this country Buffalo Bill with 100 Indians (not Osages, but kindred Sioux, Pawnees and Cheyennes), giving illustra tions of the same dances that so terrified this Senatorial committee, has transferred his show from our great metropolis to the English capital, and there we are told that the sovereign of that empire upon which the sun never sets visited it in state as a patron to witness these very same Indian dances. She keeps back hv the use of 500 police men the popular presence in order that she may have tne sole benefit and delectation of gazing upon 100 naked, painted andbefeath ered savages. The real and disgusting at tendant evils of the Osage dance no one would dare publish. We have reason to know that these evils are not materially modified in the realistic illustrations given by this show in New York and London, but when they furnish entertainments and se cure patronage from royalty and Senators they certainly say to the Indians, ‘On with the dance, let joy bo unconfined.' Thus favored by high patronage, hell becomes a popular resort.” Prof. Henry iqiviscs farmers to go slow on alfalfa. He thinks as well enough to ex periment with it, but has little faith in its proving profitable except where it can be irrigated mid on land having a loose, porous subsoil manv feet in depth. At the Wis consin experiment station ho had never suc ceeded in getting it through the second winter. Ho thinks the common red clover far superior to it. except where the alfalfa can lie irrigated, and is further of the opin ion that tin* sweet clover (MeUi-tohis ofba) has more value as a forage plant than it has been given credit for. though not commit ting hinwelf on this point till further ex periments.
