,breatha through the mouth; but when the
tronebial tabes in the lungs are obstructed or
jpygbed in size, we can only find relief by
tbacore
of the bronchial disease.
Bitsehiti*, then, is a disease of the lining of
a; bronchial tnbes, ramifying in the substance
,(tie lungs. This lining membrane is very
jgaitiTe to every external influence, and is,
liable to become irritated by Budden
jppa of weather, by impure air, by the fine
prides of matter which fill the atmosphere of
rcfrbnpa, or float upon the wind in dusty
ptets, by tho hundred irritating causes which
pet our broathing in almoRt everyplace. The
i cause, however, is cold, showing itself
fat is & catarrh of the nose, next affecting the
{fast and larynx, and lastly, involving the
boschial tnbes, when the disease is known as a
idled “ cold in the chest," or Bronchitis.
He acute symptoms usually subside after a
iorttime; but, unless the patient is properly
ttmted, he discovers a slight disposition to
nrmth in tho hands towards evening, and can
[ jot take tho same exercise as usual, without dia
pering that he is “ short of breath.” Still, he
is pretty well; and if the season be summer, he
utygoon until fall without expectoration. But
a the winter approaches, ho begins to cough,
tsd the expectoration is found to be yellow. He
aiy also find the fever increased to hectic with
%i;bt-*ueats and rapid loss of flesh, in which
cue he will probably die before spring, with all
the symptoms of Consumption. Still, this is
cot consumption at all; it is simply a chronic
ettirrh of the lungs or chronic Bronchitis.
WINTER COUGH.
It is very common for chronic Bbonchttis to
unme a milder form, when it is spoken of as a
“ Wafer cough." It comes on each winter, and
«regularly subsides during the summer; but,
at every succeeding recurrence, it manifests it
self in greater severity; and recovery in the fol
lowing summer is not so complete. This form
cl Bronchitis, if neglected, will as surely destroy
fife (and, treated in the usual manner, it is as
hearable) as Consumption itself. The mucous
uembrnne, sooner or later, becomes altered in
itrncture, end pours forth a matter which has
ill the qualities of pus. Hectic fover supervenes,
tad tho disease tends slowly, but surely, to a
fatal termination.
BRONCHITIS OP 01.0 AGK.
Another form of Bbonchttis is peculiar to
middle life and old age. It is distinguished by the
ywafifyand the character of the matter expec
torated. Usually, there are two fits of coughing
in the day—one on awakening from sleep in the
naming, the other in the evening. There is
considerable difficulty of breathing while the
paroxysms of conghing last; bnt it passes off
u soon as the lungs are freed from the viscid
secretion. The patient is feeble; he may, how
ever, live and attend to light duties for several
years. Bnt the countenance gradually assumes
a pale, bluish tint; the body wastes, the blood
becomes thin and death ensues, apparently from
the constant drain kept up by the discharge from
the lungs. Some patients die from exhaustion
in five or six months; but I have known others
to survive for many years.
CRT BRONCHITIS.
There is still another form of this disease,
called “Dby Bbonchttis,” the essential charac
ter of which consists of chronic inflammation,
attended by a thichsning of the mucous mem
tame, by which the air-tubes are diminished in
**•, and also in the secretion of a dense, gluti
nous kind of matter of a greenish or bluish-tchite
color, by which thoy are still further obstructed.
The smaller bronchial tubes are often entirely
dosed, and occasionally a tube of very consid
erable size becomes sealed up by this matter,
ibis affection is so common in this climate, that,
ia some degree, it is probable that two out of
‘very three suffer from it. “In the most fa
ired parts of France,” says Lrennec, “ fully
oe-halt of those arrived at adult age will be
found, on careful examination, to present evi-
i-ncoofa thickening of some portion of the
aucoa3 membrane of the lungs.”
In my next letter I will describe the treatment
of Bronchitis by Medicated Inhalation.

D. W. RAMSDELL— • . . ,
Dkax 8ib: I desire to give you a brief account of the success of tho NORWAY OATS io this section.
First, however, allow me to thank you most heartily in the name of the farmers of Kast Tennessee, a tew of
whom have become practically acquainted with your Oats this season through tbe agency of Dr. J. P. Grevos’
Ralph Church, Esq., and myself, tar your perseverance in propagating and developing their wonderful
merits. I became interested with Dr. Greves last spring in the introduction of forty-fivo bushels in the
vicinity of Knoxville. I confess I had some misgiving* as to their success South, notwithstanding their su
perior qualities over all other varieties seemed to bo thoroughly established in the North, for I had observed
some doubts expressed by members of the New York Farmers’ Club as to tbeir being grown i-accessfully in
the South. In order, however, to make a frill and fair test of what they would do in our climate and soil, we
concluded to scatter them among a number of planters iu different localities and On different kinds of lands,
ncnce I am enabled to speak of their success on a variety ef soils, haring furnished seed to twelve planters
in this and adjoining counties. Thj various orops having now been harvested, and having seen a large por
tion of them since and before the harvesting. I am prepared to say that the Norway Oa's have proved an
eminent suocess, although exceeding my expectations, and that in my opinion they possess all the merits yon
claim for them, and th u they are admirably adapted to the soil and climate of this section.
Most respectfully yours. CHARLES RICE.

From Col. James M. Toole, well known throughout the Sonthwest.
Knoxville. E. Trnn.. August2, 1869.
^ n ’Sra ^Having’^or^the past thirty years of my life, watched with interest the growth and Pros
perity of the country in tho development of now inventions, new appliances, and consequently increasing
sources o> supply, I could not but desire au opportunity to test the merits of the Gray Norway Oats, origi
nated and introduced by your perseverance and now practically illustrated by wondering thousands, and
which must soon add millions yearly to the value of this important product: all the'result of placing one
grain in a rich and secluded spot in your garden on the 2d of May, 1861. Truly we live in a great country,
and in no common age. I procured several bushels of this seed last year, and gave them out to gentlemen
to sow for me. with a view of testing them in our soil and climate, and while growing and harvesting they
havo hseti the wonder nnd admiration of all who have sesn them. They were sown 35th to 10th of March,
and tho yield is three times greater than that of other oats in the same land. Parties who have not hesitated
to pronounce them a humbug are now willing to accord to them all you claim. They overcome a difficulty in
the production of small grains in this country on our rich lands, being capable of thehighestcnlture on deep
est soil hv tbeir great development of strength in stalks to support a corresponding length and weight of
beads Many new and good varieties have been introduced into the South, but have not the strength of
stalk to support theta and lodge or fall before the grain manures. In saying to you that I believe that the
Rara'dell Norway Gray Oats is to work still more astonishing results, and occupy a proud and envious place
in tho prosperity of our extended country, I say no more than what I believe the future will attest. I wish
to sow two or throe hundred acres of them next year. _ , _

I certify that I cultivated thirty-ono acres of Norway Oats, the present Pe&fon, on my farm near Con
cord. I gave them th« same cultivation and the same pgiI that I gave my black oat*, and tho result has been
that the “Ramsdell Norways” yielded more than double rav black oats. The stalk? are very large and
stromr and the heads yield more than double tho number of kernels of the ordinary varieties. I am of tbe
opinion these oataaro well adapted to the soil and climate of the South generally, and that our farmers
should notfail to raise them, and on their richest soil if they choose, as the stalks are sufficiently strong to
nrevent lodging. I hope the farmers in this section will notfail to secure eeed, at an early day. for their cen-
oral introduction. I shall cultivate no other variety of oats on my farm. G. W. MARBY.
A Prominent Mississippi Planter Endorses Them. , ■
Capt. H. A. Rios, widelyknown in the South, says: . ' ,
I sowed ono bushel of Norway Oats on about tbreo-fourths of an asre. They came up and grew finely.
In fact the prospcctfor 75 bushels from the sowing was very flattering, until they began to head out. when
tho rats made an attack upon them, and despite all all my attempts to rout them they destroyed all except
a Btrip of about two feet around tho edge of the patch, which I harvested, making only a little over, four
bushels I have several heads over 18 inoho3 in length with stalks over five feet high. I am satisfied that
tho heads would average over twelve inches. The stalks were nearly as large m my little finger, and very
succulent, which I think was one cause of tho rata being so destructive. Notwithstanding my misfmtune, I
am fully convinced that the Norway Oats areas giod a? they are represented to be by Mr. Hamsdell. I saw
no sign of rust. I shall endeavor to select a more suitable place to sow them next year, and not sow them so
thiok. I noticed a few grains that were not so much crowded, and I counted as high as 54 stalks from a sin-

Over One Hundred and Fifty Bushels from an Acre.
The following two letters are from one of the most prominent and widely known planters in the South-
we!t ' Chattaxooqa, Tkhx., July 31,1869.
D. W. RAMSDELL—
Dkab Sir: About the first of February last,! ordered from your agents In New York five bushels of
your Norway Oats. I received them about the first of February, and sowed them immediately on five acres
of Tennessee River land, and out them about the 15th of July. I think when thrashed Ishell have about 140
bushels to the acre. The average height of the oats was over 5 feet 6 inches. The heads will average from
18 to 22 inches in length, with from five to six hundred grains to the head. The representations in your cir
cular of last year fall far below my oron of this year: in fact, they surpass anything on this Continent, and
are well adapted to this climate and soil. I am satisfied they are an improvement of vast importance to the
country. Very respectfully, etc., .

D. W. RAMSDELL— ■ ■
Dean Sib : Sinco my last, I thrashed my crop. They h ave turn ed out something more than one hun
dred and fifty bushels of oats to the acre. I tried a dozen sheafs taken as they come from the stack: the
yield was four buBhels and one pint to the dozen, or over one-fourth bushels to the sheaf. Owing to the hard
weather one-third of my oats froze out. We have had the longest and most disastrous drought we ever had
in this country, having no rain, scarcely, since May first If we had had an ordinary season, I would un
doubtedly have made two hundred bushels per acre. If I live, next season. I will give your oats a fair test.
I do notwrite this for advertising or publication, as I have none for sale, what Isparewill be gratuitous to
mv friends. I believe I can excel anything of the oat kind in the world with this seed next year.

One Hundred Per Cent. Better.
. Kkoxviiah, Tkhx.. August 12. 1809.
Gxxtlmes : I have no hesitancy iu saving that, after a careful examination of the Norway Oats, made
whilst growing in the field, and sinoe harvested, I am satisfied that their introduction will be attended with
great benefit to our fanners The increase in the yield is fully 100 per cent, over the other varieties, and the
duality is also better. The great strength of the straw preventing, to a great extent, lodging, especially adapt l
these oats to this latitude where severe wind storms are not nnusual during harvest season.

Fully Up to Expectation.
Middlhtok, Baltihobk Co., Mo., July 31, I960.
I purchased of you. last spring, one-hal f bushel of your new Oats, andthesame were sown about the 10th of
April on about half an acre of ground in a fair state of cultivation. Tho result is frilly up to my expectations
of this grain from vour description of them. The spring was backward and cold weather continued until
May 10th, which of course kept back the oats, but after once started they grew rapidly. My neighbor farm
ers admired them much, and estimate tho yield from the half bushel at 30 bushels. The yield would have
been much heavier ifsnwu in a clear patch. I put. them in a peach orchard and the ground was too much
shaded. I heartily endorse and recommend them.

Dijra^HMt^InVoference to those Norway Oats, we prepared one acre to suit ourselves In a field of 69
acres of different kinds of oats, and vra have cut off 8.000 pounds of Norway Oats and straw. It is now stacked
up. and we can’t tell what the yield will be until thrashed. We enclose a piece of the butt or lower end of
one of the stalks. They grew six feet high on an average.'with broad leaves resembling corn blades, and
heads about one foot long. Wo had an excellent season for oat* and fine crops, but the Norway* were much
tho best. We proposo to show what we do to all our farmers who wish to see, and then let them think and
act for themselves. Tbe way to Heaven is open to all the world, but very few take the trouble to steer by
that compass, and it ia so with farmers.
We have, at this time, a splendid crop of cotton; our neighbors have very poor, indifferent ones, but If it

Dkab Sibs: After carefully examining the testimony of your agents, Messrs. Jones Jfc Clark, given in
the New York Tribune. I became satisfied that you had been successful in introducing a new and valuable
variety of oat« and I resolved to try what could be done in the "Sunny South.” A little conversation with
some ef my neighbors resulted iu our ordering 160 bushels. The proper time to sow here is lost ef February,
fcnfowing to extreme cold weather we were two or three weeks late. They were put on different farms within
jl ranre of twenty-five miles of Kpoxville. Two farmers put it in by drillinr, the others broadeast. the 100
bushels covoring 180 acres in all. Thecropsarenowharveetedbutnotthrasned- The result thus fat ascer
tained mav safely be summed up as follows:

much a* any other varieties known hera. ._
5th The kernel is well filled, the hull thin, and the flour very white.
6th. In consequence of the size and strength of the stalk it can be grown on the richest land without
danger of lodging, which cannot be said of any other oat known in the South.

thus far all good varieties heretofore grown at the North have succeeded equally well here, while th. Nor
