MENINGITIS.
From the Telegraph & Messenger.]
Griffin, Ga., March 14, 1870.
Messrs. Editors .--That dire affection,
cerebro-spinal meningitis, having be
come prevalent in our country, any
thing that can possibly throw light on
its nature and treatment'; in eiir mind,
should be made known to the profes
sion. Having seen numerous accounts
of its prevalence in the lower parts of
this State, we have taken this method
of giving our treatment in this disease,
which has proven uhiformly successful.
We know that communications through
the newspapers of the land are not
considered in strict accordance with
true medical ethics, so we beg the in
dulgence of the medical profession in
this urgent necessity of times.
The treatment adopted by us iii the
epidemics of 1862 and 1865 was as
follows : We in the first place give from
5 to 30 grains of calomel, according to
the age of the patient, to be repeated,
if neeersary, until the bowels act;
apply a flannel well saturated with spir
its turpentine along the whole course
of the spine, run over this a smoothing
iron moderately heated ; keep this up
until the parts are blistered. . Give
from 10 to 50 grains of bromide of
potassium, according to the age of the
patient, every three hours ; after get
ting the patient fully under the influ
ence of the bromide, commence and
give large and heroic doses of sulphate
of quinine. '
This treatment should be carried out
by gome intelligent physician* a* they
alone could adapt the treatment of dif
ferent cas.es, and appreciate the actions
of the different remedies. We regard
the disease as a miasmatic affection,
making a profound impression on the
nervous centres. Hoping that this
communication will prove of some bene
fit, we remain,
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
J. J. KNOTT, M. D.
Griffin, Ga., March 18, 1870.
Editor Constitution .--Since the with*
in article was penned, myself and col*
league, Dr. 0. L. Herbert, have treat*
ed two decided cases of this disease,
both cases are now considered out-of
danger. The first case ; that of a mqrro
man, qged 23 years, was one of the se
verest cases I ever attended, and was
pronounced by Dr. Herbert, to be the
severest that he ever witnessed.
To give the profession some idea of
the treatment adopted in this case, we
will simply state, that inside of twelve
hours we administt red two hundred
grains of calomel, ten drachms bromide
potassium and six drachms of sulphate
of quinine. The quinine and potassi
um were administered partly by onenaa.
We are confident, when this treatment
is adopted in time, of saving btir pa
tient. Very respectfully, yours,.

An Untimely Fate.—A young man
named Josep Ridiough, and a young lady
named Lizzie LaShelle, were drowned on
the night of the 28th ult., in Plum livor;
which runs through the eastern part of
this cdunty, under particularly painful
circumstances, yin attachment had ex
isted between the young man and the
young lady for some time, and their mar
riage was to have taken place y-csttoidaj,
had Providence spared their lives; but,
sad to relate; on the above night, the
young couple, accompanied by Mr Uains
oougti, and a younger brother of the lady,
in returning from an entertainment at Sa
vannah, attempted to ford the river at the
usual crossing place, over the breast ot
dam. The river, however, had risen,
and when they were about halt way across
the horses stopped and refused to proceed
any further. Mr. Hainscoiigh alighted,
and discovering that they were in danger,
returned to the dragoti. removed some of
his clothing, made his way to the heads of
the hoises, telling young Ridiough to pull
their heads up stream, but owing to the
excitement occasioned by their perilous
position, the wrong lino was pulled, and
the horses, wagon and all four of the par
ty were 3wept by tlio irresistablo force of
the strong current over the dant, Young
LaShelle swam to the shore one hundred
yards below the dam; The horses were
taken out next morning dnd still alive.
Nothing has yet been heard of the young
man and the lady. The young man was
employed in the v¥oolon miles at Hanover.
This is the second couple that have been
drowned on the eve of their marriage, in
Plum river.— [Galena (111) Gaiotto.

SEA SICKNESS.
The. tallowing’ short article on the ter
rible affliction known as sea sickness, from
the pen of Dr. Barker, we find in' the
New Korli Medical Journal, and give in
full for the benefit of our readers. There
are other preventives ns well as rcceipes
for it, but the following 3cems so pimple,
and has the warrant of reason übotrt it,
that we are touch inclined to believe it
efficacious :
1 Have every preparation made at
least twenty-four hours before «La* ting,
so that the "system may not he exhausted
by over..work and want of sloop. This
discretion is particularly necessary for
lad ies.
2 Eat as hearty a meal as possible be
fore going on board'.
3 Go on board sufficiently early to ar
range such things as may be warned for
the first day or two, so that they may be
easy of access ; then undress find go to
bed, before the vessel gets under way.—
The neglect of this rule, ihy those who
are liable to sea sickness, is sure to be
regretted.
4 Eat regularly and heartily, but with
out raising the head, for at least one or
two days. In this way the hab tof di
gestion is kept up, the strength is pro
served, while the system becomes accus
tomed to the constant change of equili
brium.
5 Ou the first night out, take some lax
ative pills, as for example, two or three
of the compound rhubarb pills.
Most persons have a tendency to be
come constipated at sea, although diar
rhoea occurs in a certain per ceatage. —
Constipation not only results frvtn sea
sickness, but in turn aggravates it. The
reason has already been given why ca
thartics should not be taken before start
ing. The eff-rvesing laxatives, like the
Seidlilzor the solution of citrate of mag
nesia, taken in the morning on an empty
stomach, are bad in seasickness.
6 After having become so far habitua
ted to the sea as to be able to take your
meals at the table or to go on deck, never
thiukof rising in the morning uutil you
have eaten something, as a plate of oat
meal porridge, or a cup of coffee or tea,
with sea biscuit or toast.
1 If subsequently, during the voyage,
the sea should become unsually rough, go
to bed before getting sick. It is foolish
to dare anything when there is no gl’Jfy
to be won, and something to be lost.
Ajh- Ghtvb 'H Spain -—The
Gauloir gives an account of a horrible and
mysterious affair in Spain, which it first
heard by telegraph, and which it says it
would not believe had not the-details (yet
incomplete) been confirmed by a letter
from its own correspondent, M. Mirandi.
The story is, that on February 17, a band
of people (number not stated) broke in
to a house at Alcira, a little village near
Valencia, at three in the morning. They
got in'by making a hole in the roof. The
name of the owner of tho house was M.
Baluda. He was in bed with bis wife.
The invaders pulled them out of bed and
put gags in their mouths. They then went
to the rooms where six children were
sleeping. ‘ These children they bound
with cords, and then, in sight of their pa
rents, they tore out their eyes and tongues
Afterwards they cutoff the feet of M. Ba
led* and his eldest son named Vincent,
but purposely left the tendon pear the
heel unsevered and then hung them up
head downward. After these achievements
they ransacked the larder, made a good
breakfast, jeering at their victims all the
time, and left the house at daybreak.—
Two of the villains httve been arrested.
One named Ferdinand Baluda, is a near
relation of the family, He went by the
alias of Cabot, The other man in custo
dy is named Vincen Morera. alias Tortct
The number of the gang is not stated.—
They did not rob the house, and therefore
it is supposed that they were impelled to
execute a vendetta ala Corse , Nothing
more is yet known of the astounding crime.
Blodgett —The Chicago Republican
is a little severe upon his political friend,
Foster Blodgett, United States Senator
elect from Georgia. It is true the distin
guished soalawag is under an indictment
for perjury, but we leave it to tho candid
reader to say if that fact justifies tho Be
ptiblicain in talking about him thus :
‘A document of the House of Repre
sentatives. now before us, shows that Mr.
Foster Blodgett, who goes to Washing™
ton as the Representative, par exce/IcHcr,
of Qeot’gia Unionism to contest the se it
of Joshua Hill in the United States Sen
ate, served twelve months in (tic rebel
army. Mr. Blodgett testified himself,
under oath, that ho enlisted for twelve
mouths' service in that army, bu s says
that lie only served six months His ex*
cuso is that his property was liable to bo
confiscated and himself and family were
exposed td dangers from the rebel popu*
lace, which could only bo averted by Iw*
enlisting in tho Confederate service.—
Supposing all that Hr. Blodgett says to
bo true, how does it make him superior
to Joshua Hill, who was exposed to the
same dangers us Mr. Blodgett, and yt t
never found it tfocessary to taka up arms
against tlie United States ?
This last was an impertinent question
aii§ we would advise M- Blodgett not to
answer it. The Republican ought to knew
that the rebel populace exterminated all
the Blodgotts and their families who did
not enlist for twelve months’ service l , but
never troubled any pf the Hills,— Court

STORIES OP 1812.
There were two occurrences in the war
of 1812, which are characteristic of the
Koiituplty soldicvs of that time, which I
do not recollect to have seen in print.—
Tiie ono occurred whiU'the American pris
oners were being marched through Cana
da to Fort George. On one occasion the
officer commanding the guard bought some
whiskey and invited a Kentucky corporal
to drink. The British Captain gave as .a
toast George 111. The corporal drank
without hesitation. The British Captain
then called upon the corporal f.r a seutfc
ruent. The corporal rather deqlyjod', .say,
iiig‘ ‘You have been kind in inviting iw
to drink, and I may give offense by giv
ing a toast.’ The corporal then raid—
‘May the skins of kings be made drum
beads, and the shanks of Tories drum*
sticks, to beat the Americans to arms.’
The British Captain remark' and, ‘Sir, you
must re mem ler where you are and act
accordingly.’ A British Lieutenant,.who
aomposed one of the said, ‘Stop
Captain, you called scDtiment, and
must not now t ike exception.’ Suffice tq
sav, the British officers swallowed the
toast. " < ,
The other happened at Camp Jackcor J
below New Orleans, on the Bth ot Janua
ry, 1815. Alter tho British made their
last charge on our breastworks, they sent
in a fi ig of truce, which was met by a flag
from the American army, asking the pri
vilege of removing their killed and wound
ed, which were numerous.’ A line was
designated so far from the breastworks aq
to prevent the enemy from discovering
the nature of our defenses, and American
soldiers placed on one side of the line and
British soldiers on the other. While the
dead and wounded were;being taken tq
this line and received by British soldiers
a soldier belonging te the latter remark
ed to a Kentucky soldier, ‘lt is useless

Terrific Hcrricaxr at luskekgk, —A
correspondent of the Montgomery Adver
tiser thus rep ots a terrific hurricane at
Tuskecge, Ala;
Fences were blown down everywhere j
scarcely a place left with p'-iTcct fencing,
trees were uprooted and thrown across
sidewalks, sfleets and houses, and sever*
ul outhouses, were entirely destroyed,
while many others were greatly injured,
Several of our business hynsfes wore robr
bed of their tin roofs and trees decorated
with the same. Billno’s brick building,
bank budding, Masonic building, Hast
AUa bam a Female College, Mr. Vurn r s
residence and some others, vrero more of
less completely u ir< oi'ed. The Baptist
Ohurch steeple was also robbed of its or
naments and w.athoi-vano. Circuit
Court was in session, and many horses of
vis tors ran affrighted through tho streets,
doing some damage to buggies, etc. But
strange to say, though wreck and ruin
are scon everywhere *u the town, yet no
ouo was killed or seriously injured. Sov*
oral thousand dollars will be required to
put things in order.
