CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
. New York Journal Makes Some
Remarks on the Subject.
from the Sew York Journal of Commerce.
The fact that a v.ell-knowu man has died
s; ew York of yellow fever has created
If little excitement among timid people.
,u<i we have received quite a number of
Kimmunieations from people outside of the
ty inquiring if it is safe to come here until
liter a frost. There is nothing of vital im
portance to the genera! welfare which is so
%tle understood as the subject of contagion
i its relation to epidemic-. There
re contagious diseases easily propagated
,y contact with persons affected by
ieffi, if this occurs at the critical stage at
be attack. The most common of these are
mall-pox. measles, whooping cough and
aumps. The medical fraternity generally
•ncluae scarlet fever and diphtheria, but
ibe fact in regard to these is not so well
established. Both of the latter will run
•hrough a family where all are subject to
Jie same conditions, but it is not certain
that a person afflicted with either if trans
ported to a totally different atmosphere
will communicate any infection to a visitor
io good health.
In regard to diseases that are positively
contagious there is a widespread notion that
Is wholly erroneous. We know many cases
of small-pox that are attributed to 'causes
wholly insufficient in our judgment to pro
duce them. A physician of our acquaint
ance stoutly insists that his mother caught
the small-pox in passing a house within
which at some distance from the street lay
s person suffering from that disease. And
another gentleman whom we know asserts
..hot he took the measles simply by driving
through a thoroughfare in which lived a
family with several children that were just
taken with that malady. Of course it is
if t possible that a strong v ind might bring
, e atmosphere charged with strong con
ia;ion from a dwelling to the street so as to
i ifect one who was passing; but it is far
more likely that it was communicated in
,icse and many similar cases by some
means far less remote.
We know a case where the victim insisted
that be must have caught the small-pox in
I Tossing a ferry within 300 feet of which a
inp was moored that had brought home
two of the cresv sick with it on her last
voyage. It turned out afterward that a
man just taken with the disease had
-rone home on a Crowded street car,
iot knowing what was the matter
with him, and that five persons
(three children and two adults, includ
ing the gentlemen in question), had caught
the complaint from him. The infection
will remain for some time in a woolen
garment, and while the wearer may be
protected by inoculation or vaccination, or
a previous attack of the disease, a stranger
may catch it from this tainted fat ric. But,
ho ever the infection may be communi
cated, the fact that these diseases are
propagated by contact is well established.
But certain o-.her diseases, frequently
prevalent as epidemics, are not thus conta
gious in any sense. Yellow fever is one *f
these, and it was never communicated in a
healthy atmosphere by cne who was suffer
ing from it. If all of the Jacksonville
fever-stricken patients without injury to
themselves could be removed and distrib
uted in healthy northern homes, there would
be no more danger to persons coming in
contact with them, either as nurses or visit
ors, then there would be of catching a
broken leg from one thus impaired. It is
absolutely non-contagious in an atmosphere
not charged with the producing cause of
the malady. It nn,ay be asked why not, then,
remove those who are thus afflicted! The
answer is that any change in the atmosphere
after a patient is taken down with yellow
fever is as fatal as a bullet through the
brain. Even a slight change in the outside
air of the same place, caused by a cool
wave, will frequently end the lives of a
large number who might otherwise have
become convalescent. But the well persons
who are not needed ought to be sent away,
and though some of them may have the
fever after they reach the north, not one of
them will carry any “seeds of the disease”
to the residents of healthy localities.
It is precisely so with cholera and dysen
tery, two diseases very apt to become epi
demic from local causes. There Is this dif
ference, that these sufferers may, and often
have been carefully removed after they
were attacked, without injury to them
selves and certainly without injury to any
one else. The writer of this, taken with
what is known as Asiatic cholera, was
placed in a bed while shaking with convul
sions, and carried fourteen miles to a home
where he was carefully nursed back to
health. Many others were thus sent from
the city to their friends in the rural dis
tricts willing to receive them, and in no
case was the disease propagated by this
course.
No one need be scared, therefore, at a
personal contact with anv of the people of
Jacksonville who are fleeing from that
fever-stricken place. If they bring the
fiver in their blood and suffer from it after
they arrive, they may ba nursed in our
hospitals, or even in our dwellings,
with no personal dread of any dire
result. Yellow fellow is produced in
new cases by that which caused the disease
in others, but it is no more contag
ious than baldness, or the ossification of an
artery. There is something more In the
right understanding of this than the mere
acceptance of a true theory for the bene
fit of the intellect. It is a practical ques
tion, and gives us assurance that wo may
deal kiudiv with those who floe to us for
refuge, without incurring any danger
through such instrumentality to ourselves
or to these dearest to us in our homes.
A WONDER 6 UL TALE.
A Young Man Wins $45,000 by Gam
bling and Gives It to Charity.
from the Norristown Times
Several years ago, when Hansom street
was Ailed with gambling dens from one end
to the other, there was enacted a scene in
one of those illegal retreats that really ex
ceeds belief. Although the circumstances
were unique, they actually happened. The
principal actor in one of the most venture
some and successful gambling deals was a
young college student who had never played
at a gaming table in his life. Having read
and beard considerable about the wonder
ful fascination of gambling, this young
gentleman, when on his way home one
e'ening, decided to visit one of the dens and
try his luck. He had but <ls in his
pocket, and was willing to spend that
amount for his experience. Being alone
upon the evening mentioned, he selected
what he supposed was the most conspicuous
establishment in the street. Ho entered the
room, seated himself at one of the tables
nd contented himself by simply watching
ethers play. No one molested him, and he
soon had a fair insight into the game. As
•non as he manifested a desire to play, cards
were brought and his opponent allowed him
fe win the first game, doubtless for the pur
pose of leading him on and inducing him to
Play for larger stakes. The second game
was played with a little more spirit and he
won again. The next bout was enlivened
by a strenuous effort of his opponent to
win, but that game, as its predecessors,
was destined for the hero of the evening,
ihe first stake of Sit bad been doubled at
aach new game and the young student began
to warm up to bis work.
Game after game was played in rapid
succession, and the student bad quickly ac
cumulated a small fortune. Notwithstand
ing the shrewd manipulations of hfa) oppo
uent the student never lost a game. Other
men came along and tried their bond against
the young scholar, they all met the same
j*te as the first plaver, aud soon left the
mhle completely broke in purse mid spirit.
the hours rolled by the int-rest in the
young stranger became intense. Games
Wer " stopped at all tables except his and all
•yes were fixed upon the man who had van
quished some of the best players of the
hotise. The stake now ran into the tlious
and, and still theat.udent won. Ten thous
"tid dollar bets were quickly followed by
twenties, twenties doubled 1 hem-el up
thto forties and still the student won. Uis
luck never desert el fcim. and when he
left the gamb. eg house, instead cf sls he
camel in his (• ckei* O.
The following morning the student was
unable to leave his bed. H-s parents sum
moned their phyvcian. wao insisted that
the young man wa threatened with a se
vere attack of brai, fever. T . make mat
ters worse the pati-r.t pet-sussed in telling
the doctor asinx. .- adventure. Tie phy
sician then d<-curtd tnxf :£sa young man
was insane aad t*v si naed sis parents,
who were natarsiir frantic with grief.
Later ia the dsy at .almsta fneod of the
family was ushered tat n the patient’s pres
ence in order to test the insanity there
which the phvstnan had advanced in the
morning. The student Void his friend the
whole story of fci* night s experience. He
graphically described bow he went into the
gambling Louse * ith but a few dollars in his
pocket and cam* out with a moderate for
tune. “Now." c* sail, as he reached the
end of his narrative, “the doctor says I am
insane; lam not. To prove to you that I
know what lam talking about 1 will tell
you where to find the money.” And. sure
enough, the money—s4s,ooo—was found
where it had b-en secreted the night before.
After his friend had brougnt tne pile of
greenbacks to the rick man's bedside the
family was let into the secret, and a more
thoroughly astonished household, perhaps,
never gathered under one roof. As soon as
the excitement tad m a measure subsided
the hero of the hour said that the posses
sion of the money for one night baa been
the cause of his fever. He declared that
the dollars were not his, and as be did not
know to whom they rightfully belonged, he
gave them to a charitable institution. As
incredible as this story may appear, every
word of it is true, and it happened right
here in Philadelphia during the reign of
Mayor William S. Smith.
FOUR-FOOTED OPIUM FIENDS.
Cats, Dogs and Monkeys That Had
Acquired the Habit.
From the Sew York Mail and Ervee-a.
“Yes, I have had numerous patients
with the opium habit,” said a well-known
physician, adding frankly, “and I never
cured one of them. I had one," he con
tinued, smiling, “that I never tried to
cure.”
“How was that!" said the reporter, feel
ing sure that a story was to be had for the
asking.
“It was a cat,” said the physician. “He
belonged to a patient wijo had him for a pet
for a long time, and the cat used to lie on
the bed with his master while the latter
smoked. He would breathe the smoke of
eight or ten pipes that his master would
sinoke before he would show the effects, and
then he would sink into a stupor for some
twenty minutes and afterward awake with
every sign of excitement, and would frisk
around like a kitten, though he was ordin
arily as sedate as old cats usually are. I
begged him from my patient, and kept him
locked up till he died, after showing nearly
all the symptoms of suffering which human
opium fiends undergo,
“It wasn't a particularly remarkable case,
though it was interesting, for there are
many such cases on record. They are not
rare, it is said, in countries where opium is
much used. I have read of two monkeys in
Gambodia, who were kept as pets by an
opium-smoker. They seemed to enjoy the
heavy smoke greatly, and became such con
firmed fiends that if they were not allowed
to enjoy the smoke regularly they wouid
scream'loudly and try desperately "to break
their chains. One of them would chew the
burned opium when the pipes were cleaned,
and the other seemed to prefer the smoke.
W benever his master would lay his pipe
aside this one would seize it and try to
suck out all the smoke that was left. If
their master would leave them for a few
days without smoke they would both be
come melancholy and grow exceedingly thin,
rejecting all food until they were again in
dulged.
“T)ogs and other animals hare also been
known to acquire this habit, and it is said
that savage animals, such as tigers and pan
thers, have been trained by teaching them
to enjoy opium. Of this last statement,
however, I know nothing definite.”
Peculiar
In the combination, proportion, and prepara
tion of its ingredients, Hood’s Sarsaparilla
accomplishes cures where other prepara
tions entirely fail. Peculiar in its good
name at home, which is a “tower of
strength abroad," peculiar in the phenome
nal sales it has attained, Hood's Sarsapa
rilla is the most successful medicine for
purifying the blood, giving strength, and
creating an appetite.
