BACILLOPATHY.
A Father Free Explanation of the Aims
of a New School of Medicine.
A foreign paper states that a German
naturalist professes, to have found out
that the bacilli of one disease prejupon
and exterminate those of another, and
that it is proposed to found a system of
medicine upon this discovery. This is
what might reasonably be expected.
When the germ theory of disease was
first written up by Koch, Pasteur and
others, the Times took the ground that
there must be some good as well as
much evil in bacilli. It even went so
far as to express the belief that there
were bacilli which were capable of pro
ducing health in a sickly body as well
as those which had the power of caus
ing disease in a body that was healthy.
It stated that it was unreasonable to
suppose that several hundred, perhaps
several thousand, distinct species of
bacilli had been created, all of which
were by instinct, disposition, education
and training fitted to produce nothing
but disease and death. The Times
avowed its entire disbelief in total and
universal depravity as applied to bacilli,
and predicted that the time might come
when health as well as disease would
become contagious. If this prophecy
has not been completely fulfilled and
the knowledge of its fulfillment brought
to the medical world, the time of its
accomplishment appears to be very
near at hand. Curative bacilli, or at
least bacilli that wage war on those
that produce the greatest damage to
human beings, have, if we can credit a
German naturalist, been discovered,
and will soon be set at work.
We may now make ready “to throw
physic to the dogs.” In a somewhat
distant, if not in a very near, future
'we shall have no occasion to adminis
ter drugs as curative agents. We have
learned during the past few years that
many diseases, generally fatal, are pro
duced by bacilli which are taken up in
the human system. In the next few
years we shall learn that all diseases
“that flesh is heir to” are produced in
the same manner. Doctors have been
endeavoring to kill these bacilli by
feeding them through the human sys
tem on poisonous drugs. They have
sometimes succeeded in killing the
bacilli, though in a large proportion of
cases they have killed the person
whose bodies were infested by them.
When the school of “bacillopathy” is
established, all this will be changed.
A doctor will not examine the tongue,
feel the pulse or test the temperature
of the patient to whom he is called.
With a powerful microscope he
will examine his cuticle, mucous mem
brane or a drop of his blood to ascer
tain what kind of bacilli it contains.
He will then proceed to administer,
not quinine, jalap or laudanum, but
some species of bacilli that is unfriend
ly to the one he finds in the system.
With a powerful glass he and the pa
tient will sit and see them fight. The
contest will be as interesting and as
exciting as a dog fight or a chicken
contention, and persons who enjoy bull
fighting and bear-baiting will actually
enjoy being.sick. Sports who are not
able to attend prize-fights can sit on
their beds or in easy chairs and watch
the battles between the contending
bacilli. When the attacking bacilli
have exterminated those on which they
feed they will probably “go dead”
themselves, and the patient will imme
diately proceed to get well. There
will be no poisonous drugs in his sys
tem that will prevent his getting about
in a few days.
The medical colleges of the new
School of “bacillopathy” will be con
ducted entirely different from the med
cal colleges now in operation. The
students will be instructed in the use
of the microscope and in determining
the classes, orders and species, the
characteristics, habits and fighting pro
pensities of bacilli. To diagnose a case
the student will be required to ascer
tain by the use of a so],ar microscope
what kind of bacilli is troubling the pa
tient He will then learn what kind of
bacilli is hostile to it. There will be no
occasion for learning chemistry or
pharmacy. Works on the practice of
medicine will consist chiefly of charts
covered by magnified figures of bacilli,
and notes showing what diseases each
produces and the kind of bacilli that
destroys them. When the practition
ers of this new school of medicine
have succeeded to the places of our
present doctors there will be no drug
gists, but in the place of drug stores
there will be establishments in which
bacilli will be bred and sold. —Chicago
Times.
USEFUL OFFICIALS.
How Daniel Haughton Used to Consult
His Fellow-Directors.
A large proportion of the cotton-mill
property in Spindleville is, as every
body knows, in the hands of the
Haughton family, who got it through
the marriage of one of the daughters
of the family to the man who started
the mill business there. When he died
the property, through a series of perfect
ly natural steps, passed into the con
trol of the Haughtons. Daniel Ilaugh
ton, the head of the family, was a man
of great natural shrewdness and
strength of character. His two broth
ers, Jacob and Jehiel, were always as
sociated with him; but, while his busi
ness proceedings were understood to
be with their advice and consent, Dan
iel always held a sort of veto power
over his brothers, and nothing was ever
passed over his veto. He is dead now,
but the story of the way in which he
used to “consult his directors* is still
told in Spindleville.
One day a cotton-broker called at
the office of the mill of which Haugh
ton was treasurer, and offered him a
big lot of cotton at a certain price.
“This is so large a contract,” said
Haughton, “that I really ought to con
sult my dif.ictors about it. I hey re id
side, and 111 just step in and consult
them.”
Jacob and Jehiel were in the inner
office. Daniel went in and explained
the proposition to them and said:
“Well, Brother Jacob, do you think
we had better buy that cotton?
“No, I don’t think we had, Brother
Daniel; not at that price.”
“Well, Brother ’Kiel, what do you
think we had better do about it?
“I shouldn’t buy it, Brother Daniel;
not by any means.”
“Qom!” said Daniel.
Haughton went back to die outer
office, where the cotton-broker was
waiting.
“Well, sir,” said he to the man,
“I’ve consulted my directors, and 111
take that cotton at the price you
named.”
There is a story of a similar touch of
nature in the case of the senior partner
of the cotton-mills at, call it Boothby,
Conn. After his death one of the ex
ecutors found it necessary to consult
some of the directors. He accordingly
asked Mr. Parks what action the board
of directors were accustomed to take
under certain circumstances.
“I do not know,” said the director.
“Why, yes,” said the puzzled law
yer, “you must be able to tell me some
thing. A director for many years, you
of course attended the meetings and as
sisted in the proceedings.”
Growing momentarily more embar
rassed, the director leaned forward at
last and frankly explained:
“All true; I ought to know, but the
fact is I usually got notice of a
directors’ meeting the day after it had
taken place!” —Lynn (ilfass.) Union

office?” asked a reporter of a dealer in
electrical instruments the other day.
The prices given were $345 for a hotel
of 100 rooms; $69.40 for office, store or
factory; $70.20 for a dwelling of 10
rooms, and SBS for an automatic house
burglar alarm with 8 indicators. For
the hotel the estimate was: Annunci
ators and bells $200; 100 push buttons,
S3O; 4 cells, battery and box, $9; wire,
S4O; labor, etc, $75. For office, store
and factory, 8 bells, S2B; 8 push but
tons, $2.40; battery, $9, and wire
and labor, S3O. For 'the 10-room
dwelling, annunciators and bells, $94;
9 push buttons, $2.70; one door pull,
$2.50; batter}", $9; wire, $4, aud labor,
$lB. For the house burglar alarm,
annunciator with bells and 9 switches,
$32; battery, $9; 8 door connections,
sl2; 16 window connections, $32.
“Gas lighting by electricity has be
come another great convenience,”
added the reporter’s informant. “As
applied to private residences it is of
two systems, the pendant and the au
tomatic. The latter system embraces
several kinjs of burners, the one most
generally in use being the rachet. It
obtains its name because it has a
rachet-wheel governing a stop-cock so
arranged with a pawl and spring that
one pull of the chain turns the wheel
one notch forward, bringing one of the
gas-ways of the gas-cock in direct line
with the burner gas-way, thus turning
on the gas, and, at the same time,
through electrical connections, light
ing it. The next pull of the chain turns
the rachet-wheel another notch and the
gas is turned off. The plain pendant
differs from the other in that it does
not operate a stop-cock, but simply
lights the gas after it is turned on by
the ordinary key. It is especially use
ful in stores, or in the kitchen, where
the rachet-burner is not necessary, and
at the same time materially reduces
the cost and the possibility of the gas
being left escaping where the burners
are subject to the use of careless and
ignorant persons. Argands are fitted
both as rachet and plain pendants, and
they differ from the common burners
only in having argands instead of the
common burners above the stop-cock.
In regard to gasoline pendants, any
burner can be fitted to light by elec
tricity.”
“What is the automatic system?”
“ It is that by which the gas is light
ed and extinguished from some distant
point by buttons placed in the wall for
that purpose, and consists of the auto
matic burners and the push buttons, or
keys for lighting them. In the automat
ic the electricity not only lights the
gas, but also turns it on and off. This
is done by two pairs of electro-mag
nets, one on either side of the gas-way,
governing an armature, which, by a
lever, operates the gas-cock. Thus,
when an electric current is obtained
through one of the magnets, the arma
ture is attracted to that magnet and
the le'ver moves the stop-cock and
turns on the gas, and when the current
of electricity is induced in the other
magnet, the armature is drawn in that
direction, thus turning ofT the gas.
This system is not adapted for general
use in a house, for in most places, as
on chandeliers, the pendants are much
more convenient and cost very much
less; but in a few places the automat
ic is almost indispensable. One in the
front hall, to be lighted by buttons,
placed at the front door, and also by
the chamber door, or one in the base
ment, with press-buttons or keys at the
head of the basement stairs, and at
some convenient point in the
basement, or one in the -sleeping
room, to be lighted from the bedside
and room door, are all luxuries which,
after accustomed use, become necessi
ties to household comfort. The elec
tric burners cost from $1 to $3.50
each.”— N. Y. Mail and Express.
