a; HEALTH DEPARTMENT. ?BT JOHN BTUXBACK WTLSOJt, M, D. Atlanta, Geobola. TAklB(Dlw«ie by Stoi m-Dntlfi of Knnn Taking Disease by Storm.—The com mon idea of disease seems to be that it is an en tity-something in a solid, fluid, or gaseous form, which creeps into the system and riots through its recesses, the veritable disease whioh must be expelled by main force. This idea has been the death of countless multitudes, and es pecially of children, who, having no reasoning powers and being unable to express their feelings are physicked by parents who know no more of the nature of disease than their unfortunate pati ents. Now, disease, instead of being a something to be driven from the system, is a departure of the system from its regular healthy action, a de rangement of the functions of some organ, and this derangement is generally caused by some wrong habit of living, some error in diet, change of weather, improper clothing, or something of this kind. In most of these cases all that is nec essary is to correct the habit, removing the cause, when Nature will right herself and the effect will disappear. Bet let the disease be regarded as a something to be expelled and the first thing is to give some pretty active medioine, while the er ror in diet, the improper clothing or the real cause of the disease whatever it may be, still con tinues to operate. ‘Consequently,’ says one of our standard medical writers, ‘many children are thus carried off by medicine alone, who might have been restored to health by patient and well directed care, without the aid of the apothecary. It is the commonest of all remarks heard in the nursery, that the child was uneasy, or griped,or feverish, and I gave it so and so, without the slightest allusion being made as to why it was uneasy or feverish, or whether anything was done to remove the offending cause.’ And then he makes this emphatic declaration: ‘In my opinion a more pernicious habit than that of constantly giving medicine to children does not exist, and I would hold the mother or nurse who should make frequent use of it without advice, as utterly unfit for the duties imposed upon her.’ Lbt mothers remember this, then: that disease is derangement of the functions ot some part of the body, resulting, in the great majority of cases from some violation of the laws of health. When a child or any other member of the fam ily gets sick, instead of falling to dosing, the first thing is to cast about for the cause. Let all the circumstances of the patient, past and pres ent be reviewed. Inquire as 'to the quantity and quality of the food and drinks, the purity or impurity of the air—its temperature, the prob able influence of sadden changes, etc. Look also to the dress, its correspondence with the season and condition of the patient. Examine into the condition of the skin, bowels, etc. If the patient has eaten too much, starve him for awhile or shorten his allowance instead of giving an irritating purge to-day and then continuing to-morrow the same diet that caused the trouble. If feverish, instead of liver medicine, tartar emetic or ipecac, put him into a warm water bath, a wet sheet pack, or sponge him with warm or tepid water, put him to bed and let him be quiet; and in all probability he will be well in a few days without a single dose of medicine. If the weather is cool and the legs, breast and arms are not protected by good, warm clothing, as they should be, then put on the proper covering to these parts, and in most cases no more is neces sary to be done. How safe and simple such a course, and bow far superior to the murderous method of drugging usually pursued! THE PHONOGRAPH. How It Is Operated—Tin Foil Speaking Like s Human Being. Duties of Xurses — In such an article as this it cannot be expected that I should give all the details of what constitutes a good nurse; but I will mention some points for the special benefit of mothers, who are nurses by force of circumstance, if not by nature and education. When a physician is called in, his instructions should be obeyed. If he is competent for the duties of his profession, he will, so far as pos sible, in his direction anticipate every contin gency that may arise during his absence, and will make his prescription so as to meet it. When this is not done, there is good reason for supposing that the physician is not as careful, or as competent as he should be; and when the result shows this to be the case, the nurse is justified in suspending or modifying the treat ment, till his return. But let no more than this be done. The suggestion of officious friends who have seen ‘just such a case’ sucessfully treated with *such and such’ remedy, should be rejected. Either follow the attending physi cian’s prescription or discharge him. To do otherwise is neither just to him nor to the pa tient. As to the numerous remedies proposed by friends, some of them are injurious, and many are useless; and there are but few cases that will not do better for a few hours, at least, without than with them. Often, rest from medi cine is the best treatment. When the treatment has been suspended or changed, the physician should be fully inform ed of it on his next visit, together with the rea sons. After doing this, any suggestion of the nurse or friends as to treatment may be made to the physician; and if he is a sensible man, he will act on it, if worthy. The next, and greatest duty of a nurse is to closely observe and cor rectly report the symptoms and progress of the case during the absence of the physician. Moth ers should either do this themselves, or they should have a faithful nurse at the bed-side, who will report to them such changes. Such habits of close observation require time and attention; but those who cultivate them will be greatly aided in the domestic treatment of disease; and the treatment of a physician with such a nurse will be much more likely to be successful. In making their report to the physician, mothers should guard especially against extrav agant or exaggerated statements, into which they are likely to be betrayed by the intensity of their feelings, or by the want of a correct knowledge of the precise import of the words they may use. This kind of exaggeration is more ’ excusable but not less injurious in its effects than that which arises from a willful misrepre sentation for the purpose of deceiving the phy sician. This is done to awake greater solici tude on his part, so that he may give more at tention to bis patient; or the mother does not exactly like the treatment and would have it changed, and therefore, prompted by Buch mo tives, she is rather extravagant, if not positive ly false in her report of the symptoms or the action of the medicine. To say nothing of the immorality ot such conduct, the physician may be induced to change his treatment when no suoh change is required, thus endangering the safety or even the life of the patient. Let moth ers then, closely observe and correctly report in every case, giving a plain, simple and truth ful account, carefully choosing their words so as not to mislead. Opening day of the Exposition was a grand turmoil. It was, in truth, peoples’ day: demo cratic enough to suit the most developed taste on your side of the water. Students, ouvriers, shopkeepers captured Paris; and proved for once that franco has freedom under her Itepub- lic. Noisy orowds with Chinese lanterns, and shouting ‘le Marseillaise,' drove all others from fought ana cursed for the .right of way; and the police seemed to have ‘lost their awe-raising influence.—Paris Letter. We copy the following fine description of the phonograph from the Atlanta Constitution: The phonograph is here at last. And Atlanta, recovering from the mortification that seized her when she found that Augusta and Macon had seen it before, is lifting her eyes slowly and looking at its wonders. WHAT THB PHONOGRAPH IS. The phonograph is, to all appearance, simply a piece of iron roller mounted on a windlass. It is surmounted by a mouthpiece, inside of which are arrayed a few needles. Just underneath these needles, wrapped closely around the roller, is a sheet of tin foil. The voice of the man who speaks to the phonograph shouts in this mouth piece. The waves of his voice, striking against the needles, impinge them against the tin foil and make little perforations therein. The roller must be turned slowly and regularly as the voice is poured in through the mouthpiece. When it is desired to reproduce the voice, the phonograph is turned and the words are sounded distinctly and in fac-simile. THE RESULT OF THE EXPERIMENTS. There is no doubt that the phonograph exceeded the expectations of those who saw it. The exper iments made succeeded wonderfully. The first words spoken to it were these: “Mr. Phono graph, will you talk?” A breathless pause suc ceeded this question. The operator then turned the roller steadily, and from the depths of the phonograph came the words, in ghost-like, metal lic tones, ‘‘Mr. Phonograph, will you talk?” There was something actually uncanny about it. The few spectators looking wonderingly in each other’s faces, and Harris turned pale to the roots of his hair, which was a pretty good pale. It almost surpassed belief, that this instrument could so reproduce the sounds of the human voice The operator then barked in it, and when he turned the crank you would have thought thrt he was turning it over the toes of an imprisoned dog. He sung into it, and the tune was reproduced with startling distinctness, with all the inflections. A cornet solo that was poured into the instrument, from the lips of some musical Maconite, was then reproduced, and gave great delight to the crowd. The song of “Old Uncle Ned” was then sung to the foil and a tune whistled in over it. The song and the whistle were then reproduced simulta neously. The marvelous instrument then crowed, prayed, laughed, whooped, coughed, and issued every sound that the human voice was capable of suggesting to it. The tones of the voice are perfectly reproduced, and the accent memorably preserved, but the vol ume of the voice is much less than in nature. The gutteral sounds are occasionally indistinct, but words spoken into it clearly oan be heard across a large room very plainly. Professor William Henry Peck spoke a Sbak- spearian quotation into the phonograph, and every sound of his voiee was reproduced with perfect distinctness, even the catches that he purposely threw in being duplicated. In pronouncing the word “rat” he rolled his “r’s,” and the machine, in reproducing the word, would have made a Frenchman ashamed of himself. The machine is a veritable wonder, and every citizen of Atlanta should be sure and see it; a $400 000 LIFT. There are no phonographs for sale. There are only forty in existence, all of them being used for exhibition purposes. Of these twenty-five are in America and fifteen in Europe. The right to exhibit them has been sold at enormous prices. The one in Boston sOtd for 510,OOO, ana it is probable that every one brought this much. If this is so, the first 40 machines will yield the invent or $400,000. Edison was born in America, about three months after his parents reached this country. He was very poor for the most of his life, and it is said that he had very little business talent. He failed once, however, for about §300,000, which argues a very high order of talent. He is now worth probably a million dollars. He has an annual income from the Wettern Union Telegraph Com pany of §50,000 for certain inventions of his that they are now using. The Western Union Com pany has agreed to take 12,000 of these machines as soon as they are perfected, and to pay him S120.000 per annum for the use of them. Their idea is to combine them with telephones, and speak dispatches instead cf sending them through instruments. Edison has now 121 patents, every one of which is connected with telegraphy or elec tricity, every one of which yields him some in come. A QUESTION OF LANGUAGES. In Augusta, Mr. Morey succeeded in having nine languages spoken into the machine, and in Savannah eleven languages were spoken. Atlanta must decidedly outdo these towns. Prof. Peck has already led off with some English, Irish, Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Chinese, Indian, and nigger. A half dozen lan guages can doubtless be added to these. THE USES TO WHICH THE PHONOGRAPH can be put are infinite. The proprietors propose to print books upon the tin foil. A single sheet of foil will take a book of 400 pages, and it can be read off to a family instead of them having to read it. A book done up this way will cost only 10 cents. The machine will do away with stenographic reporters. It is now so perfected that it can be set nine feet off from a speaker and drink in and record every word and every inflection that he uses, so that it can be unwound at pleasure. It is already being put in clocks so that they will call out the hours instead of striking them. It can call out instructions at any time of the day so that a person can be reminded of wlat he must do. A speaker can have his thoughts bottled up and distributed at pleasure. A lecturer can speak his lecture in it and have it unwound simultaneously in a dozen cities. An opera troupe can sing an opera in it, and a manager can then carry his troupe in his trunk, unwinding a little Parepa Rosa and Aimiee at announced intervals. A preacher can load a phonograph with a dozen ser mons and then go off on a vacation and let his thoughts be returned Sunday after Sunday. Altogether the phonograph is the marvel of the century. No man should fail to see it. The cost of admission is only 50 cents, and it is worth twice that amount. When they are regularly manufactured the cost will be only $25—and then no family will be com plete without one. But until that time arrives, it is more than worth the money to go and see it. Abraham’s Argument Against Idolatry. Dr. Mary Walker is again abroad, and like the turtle, her voice is heard in the land. She is the best-dressed man on the streets, and her Summer suit of gray plaid is ‘nobby.’ She was in Potter’s committee-room on Friday, and gave the ‘boys, of the press-gang a first-class lecture on smoking. They all agreed with her but did not stop smoking. I find she has not yet got her pay, but I am told that she will, and, al though we may not all of us approve of Dr. Walker’s theories, she deserves this, and is clear ly entitled to it by law and justice. A youDg lady in Southwark recently attempt ed suicide by taking a large dose of indigo. She ] same wicked things, to worship wood and stone, had the blues. J strange gods, which can neither hear tur speak, [From our Book Jashar.] And in the fiftieth year of his life, Abram went forth from the house of Noah, to return unto the house of his father. And Abram knew the Lord and he walked in the ways of the Lord and in the teaching of the Eternal. And God was with Abram. And Terah his father, was still com mander-in-chief of Nimrod’s army in those days, and he was yet addicted to worshipping strange gods. And when Abram returned unto his father’s house, he saw there the gods of his father, twelve in number, each having a chapel of its own in his father’s mansion. And Abram s wrath was kin dled when he saw these twelve idols in the pater nal house, and Abram said : So may the Lord who created me do unto me now and in all future, if I shall not break them all to pieces within the next three days. And while his wrath was burning within him, Abram left the house of the idols and hastened into the court of the house, and he found his fatner there surrounded by all his servants ; and Abram sat down before his father. And Abram asked his father, saying: May it please thee, my father, do let me know which God hath created the heavens and the earth and all the sons f man, and who is the God that created thee, and me also,in the earth? And Terah replied : They that created all these things are all in my house. Then Abram said ; Wilt thou please to Show them unto me, my lord ? iAnd Terah conducted Abram into the innermost •Court, into a large chamber, and Abram found it filled with idols, gods of wood and of stone. And there were twelve'•erv lai ge gods among them, and the rest were smaller ones beyond number. And Terah said unto Abram : Behold, my son, these are they that have created all that thou seest in this world, as also thee and me, and all the sons of man. And thus saying. Terah bowed down before every one of his gods, and then he left the chamber and be took Abram along with him. And when Abram had left the house of the gods, he hastened ncto his mother and said unto her : Behold, my fatnsi hath shown unto me those that have created the heavens, the earth, and all the sons of tpan. And now I pray thee, hasten and take a irjfil from the sheep, and prepare of it a savory meat, so that I may bring it as an offering unto the gods of my father, that they may eat thereof; perhaps that thus I might find grace before them. And his mother hastened to take a k d from the midst of the flock, and she made thereof good and savory meat, and she brought it unto Abram. And Abram took the savory meat from the hands of his mother, and brought it before the gods and he served it for them, as if inviting th^to to eat thereof. But there was no sound and no I'otion, nor did any one put forth a hand to take ild eat. And Terah knew nothing of what Abram hath done. And Abram at quietly in the house of the gods, but seeings that the gods were not willing to partake of his offering he said : May be that I have brought too little, or perhaps my offering is not of the kind to be acceptable unto them. Now therefore, to morrow I will prepare much more and better meats than those I brought to-day, to see what the end thereof will be. And in the morning Abram in structed his mother concerning the offering he had decided upon, and his mother took according three kids from t he flock, and she made thereof savory meats as it was the desire of her son, and she placed them in the hands of her son Abram, un known to Terah his father. And Abram took the savory meats from the hands of his mother, and he carried them into the chamber of the gods. And he divided the meats among the gods and he placed a dish before every one of them, and he in vited them to eat of his offering. And Abram seated himself before them, and tarried there the whole day to see whether they would eat or not. But there was no sound, and no motion, and none of the gods put forth a hand to taste of the savory meats before him. And the spirit of God came over Abram, on the evening of that day, and he cried out in the midst of the house : Woe unto my father, and woe unto this entire wicked genera tion, whose hearts are bent upon vanities, to worship idols like these here, made of wood and stone; images that can neither eat nor smell, and neither hear nor speak. They have a mouth but cannot speak, eyes and cannot see, ears and can not bear, hands and cannot grasp, feet and cannot walk. Like unto them may be all those that make them, all those that serve them and bow down be fore them. And Abram became very wroth at his father, and he hastened and took an axe, and hur ried into the chamber to the gods of his father, and broke them all into pieces. And when he had broken them to pieces, he put the axe into the hands of the largest god, which he did not break, and he left the chamber hastily. And Terah heard something like blows with an axe, and he hurried into his house, and behjfid the noise came from the hall of his gods. And Terah hastened into the chamber to ascertain the cause of all that noise, and he met Abram just coming out of tho chamber. And when Terah entered the house of his gods, he saw all his gods shattered to pieces, save the largest one of them which held the axe in his hands ; and Terah saw alst the savory meat offer ings before each of the idols. And seeing that great destruction, Terah’s wrath kindled within him, and he ran out unto Abram. And he found him and said unto him : What hast thou done unto all my gods ? And Abram replied unto Terah : Not so my lord, but I have brought a savory meat offering before them. And whilst I came before them with the meats, each of the gods put forth his hand to eat. before the largest god could take some for himself. And the large god saw their ill-manners and his angor rose and he seized the axe which was in the house, and he went and broke the smaller gods all to pieces. And behold the axe is in his hands even now. And Terah grew exceedingly angry at his son, and he scream ed out bitterly ; What is it that thou art saying? Darest thou to comet with such lies before thy father? Wilt thou t-fr to make me believe such things, as if I did not "know that these gods have no soul, and no spirit, and no strength within them? For are these gods anything but pieces of wood and stone which I myself have shaped into images? And now darest thou tell me the lies that the greatest god among them hath broken all the other ones to pieces, while it is thou that hath done all that mischief, putting finally the axe into the hands of the greatest of the gods, to deceive me. And Abram replied unto his father, saying . Now, if thou knowest all that, how canst thou worship these idols which have neither strength nor power to do the least thing? Can those idols, in whom thou trusted, save thee in the hour of danger, can they hear thy prayers when thou eallest upon them, or can they deliver thee from the hands of thine enemies, and fight thy battles for thee, that thou art worshiping those images of wood and stone, which can neither hear nor speak ? And now it is not good for thee to do these things, nor for those men that are attached unto thee. Have ye all lost your reason and be come fools to worship wood and stone, while ye are forgetting the Lord your God who made the heavens and earth, and who hath created you in the earth? And why should ye summon upon your hftads the great evil which must follow the worship of wood and stone ? Have not your fore fathers acted in the same way, in times of old, un til the Lord had brought *»»«■ ?hem the waters of tho flood to the destruction oi me wnole earth. And now, how can ye reasonably do again the nor deliver you from trouble, while at the same time ye invite the anger of the Lord against your souls and upon the souls of all your household ? And now, my father, do abstain from doing these things. Thus saying Abram harried and jumped iowards the big idol, took tho axe from its hands and chopped the god to pieees in the presence of Terah, his father, and then Abram took flight. Where Dickens Fails. While Dickens has added a flood of people to the population of the world, he has not added one to the lofty rank where dwell the best of hu manity. He has given ns the most amusing fools that his generation knows, the most oharm- ing genial people in difficulties, the mo9t intol erable and engaging of bores. But he has scarce ly left us one character which is above ridionle, or of whioh we think with a smile and a tear miDgled, as it is the highest boast of your true humorist to mingle smiles and tears. Not to as cend to any Shakespearian heights, there is not even such a light as Uncle Toby shining out of his pages; there is nothing like Thomas New- oome. He tries hard, and strains, and makes an effort to cover the deficiency; but what he produces is sham, not real—it is maudlin, not pathetic. His highest ideal has a quiver, as of semi-intoxication in its voice, its virtue is smug, self conscious, surrounded by twittering cho ruses of praise. There is not a woman among the many in his books that wonld bear putting up by the side of the women who are to live for ever; and how strangely wanting must be the man of genius who cannot frame one woman at least worth placing in the crowd where Una is ! This is the strange drawback, the one huge de ficiency, which must always limit the reputa tion of the much-worshipped novelist. Mrs. Gamp, no doubt, is great, but she will not serve our turn here. He has represented with the most graphic and vivid clearness almost ev ery grade of the species Fools. He has painted ridiculous people, silly people, selfish people, people occupied with one idea, oddities, eccen tricities, a thousand varieties—but among theaa he has never once stumbled upon the sim ple, true, ideal woman, or any noble type of man. Looking at Dickens’ real power, his undenia ble genius, the wonderful fertility of his imagi nation, the spectator asks with a certain sur prise, how is it that he never fell upon one such accidentally, as we do in the world ? The won der seems how he conld miss it. But miss it he did, with the curious persistency of those fate-directed steps which are fain to enter any into every path but one. This is the first char acteristic of Dickens among his compeers ia the world of literature. He has given us pictures as powerful, individualities as distinct, as any have done. Perhaps he has added to our com mon talk a larger number of side reflections from the thoughts and experiences of fictitious persons, than most writers, even of equal power. But he has not created one character so close to us, yet so much above us, that we can feel him a positive gain to humanity. Now, when we make this complaint and accusation against the novelist, we are by no means setting up the ideal above the real, or demanding of heaven and i earth a succession of Grandisons. Far be the ] thought from our mind; fo~ one hero there must ! always be, no doubt, a hundred valets, with a ] variety and play among them such as many peo- 1 pie can appreciate a great deal better than they ! could appreciate the bigger nature. Let us have the valets by all means; but the writer who can set only valets before us cannot be placed in the highest rank. It must be understood that the difference be tween the mind which makes ‘the gentle lady wedded to the Moor’ the central light in the picture, and the mind which places Mrs. Gamp in that position, is not a difference of degree, bat one of kind. The latter may be amusing, versatile, brilliant, and fall of genius, bat it is clear that the best he can do for his race is a best which is infinitely beneath the other. He knows of no hidden excellence, no new glory which he can bring out into the light of day; he finds no stars in the half-discovered skies, nor even.the violet hidden by the mossy stone. He can do a hundred other clever and wonder ful things, but this he cannot do; he has a ban dage upon his eyes, a feebleness in his hands. He can identify and realize, and pour floods of laughing light upon all the lesser objects; but the central figure he cannot accomplish—it is beyond his power. And we cannot but think that Dickens himself must have been aware of his own limitation on this point. The struggle and strain of which we are always aware in the working out of his good characters, show some thing of that suppressed irritation with which a workman strnggies against his special imper fection. — Blackwoods Magazine.
