TO PREVENT DIPHTHERIA,
VALUABLE POINTS FEOM THE
NEW YORK BOARD OF HEALTH.
How the Disease Originates and
Spreads—How It Can be Sup
pressed— Disinfected Solutions.
The New York State Board of Health
has issued a valuable circular on the pre
vention of diphtheria. The information
and suggestions given in the circular are
applicable to all localities. It reads as
follows:
Diphtheria is a preventable disease. Its
existence depends on conditions that can
generally be controled. It may appear in
any community, but it should not be allowed
to develop beyond the first case or cases that
make their appearance. Diphtheria probably
always originates from a special poison which
develops in the person sick with it. This
special poison is given off in the breath, in
the discharges from the mouth, throat and
nose, and m some degree in those from the
bowels and bladder. The virus has the
property of adhering tenaciously to objects
on which it happens to alight. By reason of
this tho sick room, its floor, walls, furniture
and all its contents become infected with the
disease and continue to be so until the virus
is destroyed by cleansing and fumigation.
The disease may also be carried away by
any article coming in contact with the sick,
and to which the virus clings, by tho cloth
ing, bedding, eating utensils, food, toys, and
also by the persons and clothing of those in
attendance upon the patient. Another im
liortant fact is that the virus is very long
ived; articles and premises infected with it
may communicate the disease for at least
several weeks; it may be transported by them
with great facility, and to an indefinite dis
tance.
A final important point is that bad sani
tary conditions favor the development and
propagation of the diphtheritic virus. It
grows best in places that are damp and foul
and ill-ventilated, in cellars moist by imper
fect drainage and defiled by uncleanly accu
mulations in the soil about it; in damp, un
ventilated spaces under floors; in cesspools,
drains and sewers, or any place where there
is dampness, filth and imperfect access of
fresh air. In large cities the sewers furnish
so favorable a place for the growth of this
virus when it gets into them, and its vitality
is so great under such surroundings, that
their infection may become permanent. No
similar conditions, however, need exist in
small loealties.
Diphtheria is contracted by inhalation of
air containing the disease germs coming di
rectly from the sick or from articles infected
by them. It is also communicated by arti
cles passing from mouth to mouth, such as
cups, spoons and toys. The articles by which
it is communicated may have become infected
weeks before, and possibly at some locality
quite remote. It is contracted by inhaling
the air of sewers, cesspools, cellars, or any
damp, foul or ill-ventilated place in which
the disease germs chance to have become
planted. Children contract diphtheria much
more readily than adults.
Every locality is liable to have diphtheria
brought into it. It will not continue long if
the principal conditions on which its exist
ence mainly depends are removed; if the sick
are strictly secluded, the disease germs de
stroyed, and all unsanitary conditions which
favor their continued development removed.
1. Isolation. —Those sick with diphtheria
should be isolated from everyone except
necessary attendants. This should be done
with mild cases as well as severe ones. They
should be placed in an upper, airy room, as
Ve.mote as possible from other living and
sleeping rooms. Needless furniture and
other articles should be removed from the
room. Allow the windows to be open, for
the poison does not go far away in the at
mosphere; give sunshine and fresh air con
stantly.
The attendants should remember that they
carry with them the poison of the disease,
and they must keep entirely away from
others, especially from children, who take
diphtheria most readily. No article should
leave the room without cleansing or disinfec
tion. Utensils used by the sick should bo
well cleaned before use by others. Food left
by them should be destroyed. Bed and body
clothing should, before being taken from the
room, be placed in disinfectant No. 2, boiling
hot, if possible. Cats and dogs should be ex
cluded.
The discharges from the mouth and nose
must be received on cloths that can be burned,
or in cups that can be disinfected. Vessels
for receiving the discharges from the mouth,
nose, kidneys and bowels should contain some
of disinfectant No. 1 or 3, and after use should
be cleansed with boiling water.
Tho patient must not mingle with the well
until all traces of the disease have left the
throat and nose. Before leaving the sick
room the body should be thoroughly washed,
and fresh uninfected clothing should be put
on, leaving everything else behind to be dis
infected. Nurses must observe tho same
final precautions.
2. General Precautions. —All should avoid
sources of contagion. Well children had
better be removed entirely from the house,
but should be kept under observation, and if
diphtheria develops brought home again so as
pot to establish a new centre. Persons re
maining in the house should not go to school,
church, or any general gathering, nor to any
house where there are young persons. If the
disease has secured a foothold in a locality,
every case of sore throat should be regarded
as suspicious and excluded from schools and
from contact with other children. It would
be well to make sure that milk is not taken
from a dairy where the disease exists.
3, Sanitary Precautions. —Houses should
be kept clean, dry and well ventilated; par
ticular attention should be given to the cellar.
Drain pipes and fixtures should be perfect.
The premises should bo well drained, leeching
cesspools and privy vaults removed, all de
composing accumulations of garbage or stable
manure cleared away, and the place made in
every way clean. These precautions are to
be especially observed about domiciles where
the disease exists. The condition of school
fiouses should not be overlooked.
- In case of death the body should be in
closed in a sheet saturated with disinfectant
No. 8, placed in a tight coffin not afterward
openecq and burial should be private and
with as little delay as possible.
DISINFECTION.
1. Of the Room.. —During its occupancy as
a sick room, the precautions suggested above
as to destruction of disease germs attached
to articles of any sort before their removal
from it should be carefully observed, At the
termination of the quarantine the room
should be tightly closed and with all its in
fected contents fumigated with the fumes of
burning sulphur or of chlorine, which, es
pecially if the latter is used, should be done
only by a competent person. Arrange all the
contents of the room so that their surfaces
are readily reached by the disinfecting gas.
The room should remain closed for twenty
four hours, after which it and its contents
should be aired thoroughly for several days.
The woodwork should also be thoroughly
washed, especially the tops of doors and win
dows, and solution No. 2or 3 applied. Ceil
ings should be whitewashed and wall paper
removed, and the walls washed with one of
the disinfectant solutions.
Sulphur Fumigation.— Roll sulphur, in the
proportion of two pounds for a room ten feet
square, is burned by placing it in an iron ket
tle, set in a tub containing a little water to
guard against fire. It may be ignited by pour
ing a little alcohol or kerosene on it.
Chlorine Fumigation. —Mix well,breaking
up all lumps, one part by measure of black
oxide of manganese and two of common salt,
and add enough water to make of the con
sistency of cream. A teacupful of this mix
ture is to be put into a large earthen vessel,
as a washbowl, one or two of which may bo
placed in each room. About an equal bulk
of commercial sulphuric acid is to be finally
poured into each vessel, beginning with the
most remote, the person retiring quickly; it
is best to pour this from a pitcher; avoid in
haling the fumes by holding a handkerchief
over the face.
2. Of the Premises.— The entire house
should bo thoroughly cleansed. The premises
also should be cleared of all unsanitary con
ditions, and all drains, privy vaults and sites
of uncleanly accumulations drenched with
solution No. 1.
Disinfectant Solutions. —No. 1. Sulphate
of iron (copperas), three pounds; warm water,
one gallon; for the discharges. This leaves
rust spots on the clothing. No. 2. Sulphate
of zinc (white vitriol), four ounces; couunon
salt, two ounces; water, one gallon; for 1
clothing. No. 8. Corrosive sublimate, sixty
grains; water, one gallon. Caution should
be had of the dangerously poisoning char
acter of this solution; it is well, as a precau
tion, to color it by adding an equal quantity
(sixty grains to the gallon) of permanganate
of potash, with which, 'however, it stains
fabrics, etc., to wash furniture and wood
work. Lewis Balch, Secretary. .

Where pride is there also shall he re
proach, but where humility is there also

To know how to be silent is more diffi
cult, and more profitable, than to know

A man should never blush in confessing
his errors, for he proves by avowal that

Beware of him who meets with a
friendly mien, and, in the midst of a cor

higher, gives a man a peculiar right and
claim to the good opinion of his friend.
How a Sultan is Approached.
M. Patenotre, the able French minister
now at Tangier, is bent on getting some
better local government for the diplomatic
capital of Morocco. He has just started
accordingly for Fez, the Sultan’s capital.
“His cortege,” writes a correspondent,
“was imposing—the baggage, tents and
numerous presents for the Sultan and his
vizier had to be sent on before—an elec
tric boat had to be left behind, every
thing had to be carried on the backs of
mules, horses and donkeys. A detach
ment of Moorish cavalry with crimson
banners preceded the cortege, composed
of French officers and about a dozen
French soldiers, their arms gleaming
brightly in the African sun. M. Patenotre
headed the party on a white charger. He
remarked the ride to Fez was likely to be
a tame affair after his experience in Persia
and Central Asia, where he had once rid
den 300 miles in three days, whereas at
his present rate he was not likely to reach
Fez —or 150 miles—in less than ten days.
M. Patenotre seems anxious to work with
every one and conciliate the rival jeal
ousies of the civilized flags at Tangier for
the sake of achieving some real improve
ment in the administration of that wild
city-” ■ . ,
South American Cattle.
The cattle occupying the great plains
region of South America are all of one
general type, the descendants of cattle
brought to Central America and South
America by the early Spanish adventurers.
The old native cattle are long, heavy
horned, and of a yellow-brown color.
They make good work oxen, are large,
strong, well able to take care of them
selves, and as beef makers compare fa
vorably with the cattle of California and
Texas of forty years ago. The same may
be said of the cattle of the Argentine
Republic, and of the South American
continent generally.
Of late years a good deal has been at
tempted in improving these cattle in Bra
zil, the Argentine Republic and some
other sections of South America. Within
the next quarter of a century we may
look for such modification, through cross
ing with bulls imported from Great Brit
ain and the United States, as will bring*
the native cattle up to a fair standard of
early maturity and beef production.—

Window Dressing a Fine Art.
Window dressing is becoming a high
art in this city, and the man who can
best display the samples from the mag
nificent stock that fills our dry goods
palaces is sure of a salary far above that
of an accountant or salesman. The
show windows of the Olive street and
Broadway dry goods emporiums present
every day a beautiful display that repre
sents often hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and is equal to the special exhibits
made in expositions. Two thousand dol
lars a year can easily be earned by an
expert and artistic window dresser. He
is obliged to devote his entire time
towards studying up how best to con
tribute to the panorama of wealth and
luxury. In New York city window
dressers have been paid all the way from
SSOOO to SIO,OOO per annum.— St. Louis

Electricity for the cure of consumption
has attracted much attention of late years,
either for generating ozone for inhalation
or for its influence on the vasomoters as
a current or as static electricity in baths.
Water glass, which is simply glass with
such excess of alkali that it dissolves in
boiling water, is one of the most valua

vehicle for mineral paints.
Somebody has discovered that peach
stones can be used as fuel, and now they

An Electric Mountain Railway.
One of the most interesting achieve
ments in modern engineering is the elec
tric mountain railway recently opened to
the public at the Burgenstock, near Lu
cerne. The rails describe one grand
curve formed upon an angle of 112 de
grees, and the system is such that the
journey is made as steadily and as
smoothly as upon any of the straight
funicular lines. The Burgenstock is al
most perpendicular—from the shore of
Lake Lucerne to the Burgenstock is 1330
feet, and it is 2860 feet above the level
of the sea. The total length of the line
is 938 metres, and it commences with a
gradient of 32 per cent., which is in
creased to 58 per cent, after the first 400
metres, this being maintained for the rest
of the journey. A single pair of rails is
used throughout, and the motive power,
electricity, is generated by two dynamos,
each of twenty-five horse power, which
are worked by a water wheel of nominal
ly 125 horse power, erected upon the
river Aar at its mouth at Enochs, three
miles away, the electric current being
conducted by means of insulated copper
wires. The loss in transmission is esti
mated at 25 per cent.
Exlmming a Revolutionary Yessel.
In excavating to deepen a creek which
is to be used as a timber basin for Messrs.
H. P. Smart & Brothers new steam shingle
mill, on the Vale Royal tract, the timbers
of a large vessel have been partly ex
humed. The end of the keelson can be
seen imbedded in the mud at one point
and about thirty feet from it a well-pre
served live oak rib, with a part of the
planking attached, was taken out. The
land in the vicinity was reclaimed from
the river, and there is a tradition that it
was at or near this point that the British,
during the siege of Savannah in 1779, by
the armies under Generals D’Estaing and
Lincoln, sunk vessels across the river to
prevent the French and American war
vessels, which had passed around the
western end of Hutchinson’s Island, from
enfilading the defenses of the town. It
is not improbable that the old wreck
which is now brought to light, if not one
of those sunk at the time, has not been
afloat during this century.— Savannah

A Lost City
Tho mailing waters of the Potomac
River, in the recent floods, dsstroyed a
city that never existed—JacksOn City —
at the south entl of the long bridge, op
posite Washington, D. C. The name of
the town has been in the mouth of com
ers and goers at the bridge since the ad
ministration of Gen. Andrew Jackson,
who laid the corner-stone of Jackson
City with much formality, and with a
celebration that included all the military
and civic organizations of the three Dis
trict cities. George Washington Parke
Custis, of Arlington, the adopted son of
Gen. Washington, delivered the oration.
Tents were erected and the occasion was
the only gala day that Alexander’s Is
land, on which Jackson City was found
ed, ever had. Years ago a hotel was
built near the bridge, and this was
the only approach to a town that Jack
son City ever made. It was for awhile
a roadside inn. Lately it has been head
quarters of games forbidden in the Dis
trict. Long ago the corner-stone was
dug up and its contents carried off, and
the close of last week the rain came and
the flood undermined and ruined Jackson
City.
Teeth Drawn by Electricity.
People can have their super fluous teeth
drawn by means of electricity. The
process in question is very simple, scarce
any apparatus being required beyond an
ordinary two-eell battery, with vibrator
attachment. This attachment is a thin
strip of metal fastened at the ends, which
is made to vibrate a thousand or more
times per second by the electric current.
At each vibration the circuit is cut off
and renewed again, the effect being to
give a perfectly steady flow of the mys
terious fluid. The patient in the chair
is given a handle to hold in each hand,
and the current is turned on gradually
until it becomes painful. Then he is told
to grasp the handles as strongly as possi
ble, the electricity—having been switched
off for a moment —is turned on again
suddenly, and the dental surgeon applies
liis forceps simultaneously to the tooth.
The instant the molar is touched it, as
well as the parts surrounding, becomes
electrified and absolutely insensible to
pain. When it is withdrawn from the
socket, the subject of the operation feels
not the slightest disagreeable sensation.
A jerk and the tooth is out, the patient
drops the electric handles and .he pain
less affair is over.
War on Saloonists.
The Indiana Grand Lodge of Kn’glits
of Pythias, recently ill session at Indian
apolis, Ind., took a step which threatens
to lead to great demoralization. A reso
lution was introduced declaring that
saloon keepers should not he eligible to
membership in the order. The ensuing
discussion awakened a great deal of hit
ter feeling, but the resolution was finally
adopted by a two-thirds vote. The sa
loon keepers and their friends immedi
ately appealed to the Supreme Lodge. It
is stated that nearly one-fourth of the
order in Indiana are either identified
with or in favor of the traffic, and if the
action of the state Grand Lodge is sus
tained, they will withdraw from the or
der.
(Jutte n Difference.
In the rod parlor of the White House
at Washington, D. C., a photographer
took a picture of four generations of the
Harrison family. The Rev. Dr. Scott
sat on the extreme right of the group,
Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee came
next, and the famous Baby Benjam.n
Harrison McKee completed the gather
ing. The latter did his best to make the
affair a failure, and if it had not been
for what is known as “the instantaneous
process,” he would have succeeded.
There is a difference of eighty-eight
years between the generations represented
in the picture. Dr. Scott is 88 and Baby
McKee only two years of age.
A Reported Miracle.
The celebrated Canon Wiiberforcc, of
London, England, writes to a newspaper
that his belief in miracles has been
strengthened by a miracle performed
upon himself by means of anointing and
prayer. “My internal ailment,” he
writes, “was of such a nature that lead
ing surgeons declared it to be incurable
except at the cost of a severe operation.
At last I sent for elders —men of God,
full of faith—by whom I was prayed
over and anointed, and in a few weeks
the internal ailment passed entirely
away.” The canon*takes pains to say
that he was healed by “the Lord’s bless
ing upon His own word.”
