Climate for the Invalid.
We have received several letters
requesting us to inform the various
writers, what section of Georgia we
believed best adapted to the con
sumptive. One of these letters is
from an intelligent, cultivated gen
tleman, who has visited various lo
calities for his health. He says:
“I have tried several highly recom
mended seaboard places, but the
humidity of the sea winds, and the
sudden variations of their tempera
ture, drove me from them.”
We have not time to reply to
these letters, but from an article by
T. S. Hopkins, M. D., of Thomas
ville, to be found in the “Transac
tions of the Medical Association of
Georgia,” held in 1874, we take the
liberty of making extracts, which
answer all questions propounded to
us on the subject.
The article is headed, “The Pine
Forests of Southern Georgia ; its
Climate and Adaptability to the
Consumptive.”
Dr. Hopkins says: “In my
opinion, based upon careful obser
vation, during a long professional
experience, there is no section of
our country which can compare
with the climate of our interior pine
forests, in its adaptability to the
consumptive.
Dr. George B. Wood is of the
opinion that there is probably no
better residence for the consumtive
than in the interior of Georgia,
where the immense pine forests of
that region may add the advanta
ges of their exhalations to those af
forded by the dryness and warmth
of the climate.
Dr. Lee says he recommends his
consumptive patients to go into the
pine region of Georgia, “where the
dry air and the mild and uniform
temperature, in connection with the
aroma of the pine, seems to exert a
highly beneficial influence.”
A professional experience of
nearly thirty years in that portion
of the pine belt of our State, lying
between the Flint and Altamaha
rivers, has afforded me ample evi
dence of its peculiar adaptibility to
the consumptive. It is of rare oc
currence in our travels through that
entire district, to find a case of con
sumption ; and when found, it will,
I venture to say, in almost every
instance, be traced to hereditary
transmission. I doubt if there is,
on the globe, any region of country
of the same extent, more exempt
from all diseases of the respiratory
organs. I have never seen a case
of pulmonary tubercle in that re
gion, that could be attributed to
climatic influence.
In a report made to me from
twenty physicians, extensively en
gaged in practice, from the counties
of Thomas, Brooks, Berrien, and
Decatur, with an aggregate popula
tion of 50,887, report but two cases
of consumption, seen by them, orig
inating in the climate, during the
year 1873.
Surely, a climate where consump
tion so rarely occurs, must be a
safe climate for those from abroad,
in whom the disease already exists.
1 have great faith in the healing
power of the atmosphere of the pine
forest in the tuberculous lung.

Mental Disease.
The following valuable sugges
tions on the agency of physical
causes in the production of mental
disease, we cull from the Jackson
ville Semi-Tropical: ‘‘A single
timely prescription will often con
vert the man on the verge of insan
ity to his usual serenity of mind.
Everybody knows that it is a bad
time to ask a favor of a person
while he is waiting for his dinner.
The impoverished condition of the
blood, at that moment, causes a
nervous irritation, and predisposes
to bad temper. Nor should one
engage in mental labor soon after
the principal meal of the day. The
lawyer, with his blood poisoned by
the foul, stagnant air of city cham
bers, or the clergyman, wearied
with the effort to compose his Sun
day sermon, who resumes work
immediately after dinner, invites
apoplexy and sudden death. Not
that severe mental labor at the pro
per time is injurious. A well or
ganized brain demands exercise.
The pleasure attendant on produc
tive brain work, affords an effective
protection to the worker. The
poet, in the full flight of his fancy,
refreshes rather than weakens his
brain. The orator, who thrills the
hearts of the multitude by his im
passioned appeals, retires from the
I triumphal scene like “a giant re-
I freshed with wine. ” It is the hard
1 and thankless task work that frets
the fine fabric of the brain, saps the
i mind of the strong man, and re
. duces him to the condition of an
) imbecile. For this reason, proba-
L bly. among others, diseases of the
brain are far more common in this
country than in England. The
rage for speculation, and the pas
sion for going ahead, strain the
mental fabric to the utmost point.’
There should be an abstinence from
all excesses, a maintenance of a se
rene and even frame of mind, and
moderation in all the physical
habits. A healthy brain will be the
reward of such a course, and in all
temporal prosperity, and even of all
spiritnal welfare, a healthy brain is
the essential condition.”
Reformers.
If the men who work in facto
ries, shops, and mines, with hand
and brain, would turn a deaf ear to
the blatant humbuggery of labor
reformers, who work only with a
swivel-balanced, double back-acting
tongue, or a pair of jaws at dinner
time, they would do the world good
service, and save themselves much
trouble and sorrow. We do not
now recall a single instance, in
which the action of these meddle
some fellows has been of any ser
vice, except to give these reformers
a “soft thing.” The men who
work arc often badly used, poorly
paid, and little cared for. Abuses
there have been and are, which have
need of correction, but this comes
of no incendiary councils, is not the
fruitage of strikes, lockouts, and
mob intimidation, nor does relief
come of the councils of the instiga
tors of all these. A happy day,
indeed, would it be for them, if
these reformers could be cast into
outer darkness, to gnash their
teeth, or gnaw a file in harmless
rage.— Boston News.
o
Fruits Worth Seeing.
The American Bornological So
ciety met in Chicago a few weeks
since. A medal was awarded to D.
Redmond, Ocean Springs, Mississip
pi, for an interesting display of
semi-tropical fruits, including oran
ges, lemons, bananas, promegran
ates, figs, pineapples, etc. Also,
to Robert Manning, Salem, Massa
chusetts, for specimens of pears
from historical trees, collected by
him, including the Endicott, planted
about 1630; an orange-pear tree,
two hundred and eighty-five years
old ; a Warder, grafted April 19th,
1775, and a tree planted by An

THIS is the onlv Cottou and Hay Press that can be hauled about without being taken to pieces.
It packs with very little power. One hand with thirteen feet lever can pack a five hundred
pound bale. It can be used by hand, horse or steam power, and will pack as fast as any other Press
that is made. It can be placed in lint room, and run by short levers, by hand or with a pulley, oa
by horse power; can be set on pivot and revolve box : can be turned bottom upwards in lint room ;
can be turned by hand, horse or any other power desired.
The Press can be swung by the corner bars, set up in lint room, filled full of cotton, turned
down and packed with your band-wheel. It fact, it can be used any way that any other Press can
be used, and with but little expense-
In its construction it only requires four hundred and fifty feet of lumber and one thousand
pounds of iron. Its weight is from 1,800 to 2,060 lbs. It can be loaded or unloaded in less tha ;
five minutes, ready for packing or hauling. It is “ dumped” on a cart like a cart body, and ta
same way on a wagon. It is the ONLY
PRACTICAL PORTABLE PRESS,
that is made. It is simple and powerful; we have packed seven hundred lbs. of dry Cotton in one
bale. With care it will last a lifetime. You can stand straight, and pack the box full. Two oxen
or two mules can carry it from place to place. In testimony of the superiority of this Press we
append the recommendation of gentlemen who are judges of Cotton Screws :
We, the undersigned, have used, and have seen used, the American Cotton and Hay Press, and
we unhesitatingly say that it is the best that we have ever seen.
