DISEASE OF THE THROAT. BY DRS.PRICE & BREWER. Hundreds throughout the country are suffering from various affections of the throat. Some are only disturbed during the changeable weather of winter and spring, while others are tro’uble;biore“ or less most of the time. Imsome instances an affection of the throat will exist for a longtime without getting in upon the lungs. Notwithstanding this slow progress in some cases, we do not believe there is one case out of ten "that will not, if left alone, gradually grow worse,eventually reach the lungs, and end in consumption. s : o

"The symptoms in chronic diseases of the throat are many, and vary according to the nature and locality of the disease. Among the symptoms of this ailment is an alteration of the voice, its tone not as clear as usual, a slight irritation, or tickling sensation in the throat, with more or less dryness, giving rise to a hacking, hemming, or an endeavor to clear the throat of something .which is felt to be an obstacle to a full and free utterance. On attempting to speak there will be an inability to produce a prop‘er sound, until the.throat has first been cleared. ILoud or long talking, or reading produces congh, irritation, or dryness of the throat. In the first ‘ stages thereis no expectoration. Passing from a warm to a cold atmosphere, or rooi_n, progluces difficulty in breathing, and’ in advanced stages gives rise to a more or less cough; the same symptoms follow an exposure to dust, or when walking against the wind. In cold or damp weather the. symptoms are-generally more aggravated, the person libable to take cold from the slightest exposure. Sometimes the symptoms disappear-entire-ly, but return again in contracting a cold. It may thus go on disapp#aring and returning, the patient meanwhile being in comparatively comfortable health, until the disease has made considerable progress. There is often.a ‘tired, feeling about the throat, a feel--ing of discomfort or uneasiness, along towards evening. Inthe early part of. the day the tired feeling about the throat is not noticed, as the voice organs have had a chance to recover their power, by rest, during the night. "In the beginning of the.disease no such symptoms are felt, but as it progresses these symptoms show themselves eve-. ry evening, then earlier and earlier every day until the voice is clear only for a short time in the moning.. The voice begoine.s more rough, hoarse, and sometimes completely <destroyed.— Sometimes the individual will be able to speak a sentence in an audible voice, while the next one will be.in a whisper, or the audible articulation may be cut off in the midst of a single word. Thus the disease may go on for some time, but gradually the symptoms increase, the general health, if not previously affected, becomes impaired. ~Digestion is imperfect; the appetite changeable, the bowels irregular, the kidneys becomes implicated, the pulse frequent and weak, the skin dry and harsh, the feet are cold, and often a clammy state of the hands, The cough at length becomes severé and troublesome, accompanied with a free, frothy and transpare?ﬁ;c‘to# ation. There is soon a gradw@l wasting ‘of flesh and general debility, and at last thé patient is hurried out of life with the symptoms of quick consumption. Young or old, who have any trouble about the throat should not allow it to progress, for it is indeed an ailment of a most insidious charae-: ter, often making serious inroads up-: on the general health, as well as parts involved before the person is aware of its danger., 'lt is more dangerous among those disposed to a scrofulous disease of the blood. g

The course adopted by many physicians for the curing of this disease is a mistaken one, burning the throat with Nitrate of Silver in order to destroy its sensibility, for the cure of this complaint. We consider it wrong! and more calcul'ateﬁto‘ aggravate the complaint than to subjugateit! If youn deprive the whole threat of strength, as you do in burning with eaustic, are you not more likely to invite disease to the part by rendering it weak ?

As for medicated inhalation it has done much more harm than good in this complaint, by diseasing the blood, weakening the lungs ‘and debilitating the patient. The majority of our best physicians ‘do not deem it worthy of notice, for they know it to be an exploded theory, reviewed with alleged improvements by ignorant medical speculators to impose upon the credulous as a means of subsistence and pecuniary gain. Medicated air is diseased air. If thisailment is produced by dispepsia, general debility, the excessive use of tobaceo, and other~constitutional troubles, how c‘:t;@ylution of the Nitrate of Silwver applied to the throat, or medicated air breathed into the lungs, cure the disease? The cause of the disease must first be removed, or a eure is impossible. By the application of Nitrate of Silver or by medicated inhalation the patient may for & short time experience some 1 relief, but the cause not being removed the trouble soon returns. Unless the cause is known, removed, and nature assisted in her reparative pro-. cess, the disease cannot be cured. We have treated many hundred cases and never failed to cure when the case is presented before the stamina of constitution is destroyed, ‘and that by ‘means that do not debilitate. We ‘mever pursuade patients to employ us, or_hold out any encouragement of a Dewln 0 L Tk dip il

Something similar to the epizootic, called catarrhal fever, is prevailing among the people in this neighborhood to almost an alarming exten't; however, there have been no deaths. We do not know of any family that has escaped the annoying malady. The: writer has had his share with the rest. The families of Fred Huber and Ira Hostetter have had the most severg cases; at least it seemed most difficult to break up, but at thiswriting we are able to announce that a change has taken place for the better, L

" The big doctor has been, and is sthll, having a bountiful harvest in this locality. The “good-looking” doctor has also been down, helping to bleed the people’s pocket-books. 5o . Last night (Sunday) brought along the “beautiful snow” which has been so long and ardently prayed for. .We should judge it is nearly six.inches deep, and should old Sol withhold his genial rays we may expect some very fing sleighing, as the roads were in prime condition. & ‘ The. Dunkers are still eontinuing the meeting at their- new church a short distance east of Wawaka. We are reliably informed-that some of the most intelligent and influential Methodist friends of Wawaka have, for the present, abandoned their own meeting, and have turned in with the former; Jesse Calvert declaring that there is no need of any partition between them; that they all ought to worship at one altar. - The Methodists are eq'ualﬁly liberal in their views and declare that the meetings at'the Dunker church are such as remind them of the ‘“good old days of yore,” when the Gospel was preached in its purity. Surely, it looks very much like the time is near at hand —when the lion and the lamb shall iie down together. We neglectéd to announce in aformer article that Aunt Electa Gage is now visiting relatives in Michigan. - A letter received by Wm. Gage, a few days ago, informed him that his brother-in-law, Wm. Stewart, of Big Rapids, Michigan, was lying dangerously sick and not expected torecover. A few days ago Bill Gage came very near, being the loser of a fine two-year-old steer and a heifer-by the tumbling over of his straw stack. The steer was so completely covered up that it took all ‘of an hour to remove the straw from over him. A.H.S.

What is Done With the Money ? » Inquisitive people are beginning to inquire what disposition is made of the funds of: the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry. This grange is located in the city of Washington, and, aceording to all accounts, its accumulations of cash must be large. All granges in the country are responsible ‘to it; but its officers do not seem to be responsible to any one for the use they make of their revenues, and therefore it is quite natural that curiosity should be aroused-on the subject. © A grange Master-in the West is reported to have said that, to the best of his belief, the officers of the National Grange must have received at least $250,000 for granting charters to subordinate granges during the last three years, while a newspaper correspondent, who bases his cal--culations on the reports of the Grangers, estimates the receipts, of the chiefs of the order in Washington at a vastly greater sum. In July last there were in existence 22,000 granges, with a total membership :of over 2,000,000. At $l5 for each charter, this would give the National Grange $33p,000 for charters:alone. Add to th¥ the ten cents annual dues received from members in all parts of the, country, amounting to $200,000 a year, and the receipts from new granges which are constantly organizing, and the result is a grand total worth looking after. Of course there are ex.penses to be paid out of thesge receipts, but the complaint is that there is a want of definite information as to the character of these expenses, and there are those who are suspicious enough to intimate that the Washington Grangers who grant charters to their bucolic brethren have an exceedingly good thing of it. .Of course this is a ‘matter in which Grangers are alone eoncerned, and if they are satisfied with the management of their contributions to the National Grange the outside world have no reason to complain. Still it would give a shock to faith in human nature if it should prove that a move that was instituted for purposes of puplic reform has been managed for the personal emolument of any of its officials. ok

There will probably be a revision of the Judicial Districts of this State at the. present session' of the Assembiy.

. THOSE “INDEPENDENTS. Bittér;rpemduﬂoi of Their Course * in the Legislature. d gl ot i The Tebanon *‘Pioncer?’ Handles Them : . Without Gloveg.) © (From the Lebanon (Boone Co.) Pioneer. | : - At the meeting of the Indiana Legislature, on last Thursday morning (14th inst.), there were three genmtlemen in the Senate who f(‘:?l,led themselves Independents, and they soon found that they had a eontrolling vote in thatibody, the two parties being so near a_tie. They soon anngunced themselves for sale and began tolook for bidders. They first went to the Democrats, who' offered them a fair and liberal divide of patronage, but “they gouldn’t see .it.” They then went to the Radicals, who gave them all butone. So they struck a deal, and voted for Republicans for every office. - For every candidaté whether their friend or not was a R'adj;:a‘“l'of the strietest school. Soin a wotrd we say that the Independents sold out to the Rads, body and breeches, and ever ginecdiove been voting with them. So it now is that tlfe Independent party has upon its head about as much responsibility as either of the other parties. The House is democratic. The Senate is republican, but, if the Independents would vote with the Democrats, then the Senate would be democratic. But- then -these Independents have-sold out once, and 1o doubt they are for sale all the while. If they are the fair representatives of that party which demands reform, who wauts .a purer government by honest men being in office? We arel tired of the set now, for the first chance they got they made a complete sale of themselves to the very party that they so maligned and abused. How much mony they got for' their votes in the organization of the Senate we do not pretend to say, or what pledges they received from the radical party we do not know. But wedo know that they sold, for they offered to sell to the Democrats, and when some one told them about what they could get they replied that they were offered more by the Rads, and of course they took the offer. Thousands of Democrats in Indiana voted the Independent ticket, firmly believing. that it pointed to. reform and economy in the management of public affairs, and were honest in the casting of that kind of a ballot, believing that their men would. be honest, and firm to principle. But these same men must surely be disgusted to see. their leaders so faithless. They conducted themselves so cowardly and ungenerously that they are hated everywhere. They can have no influénce in legislation except what little they get by the accident of holding a balance of power on joint ballot in the Senate Chamber. But they will be called upon a great many times to show their hands before the session is over, and if ‘they continue in the way they have started out, long before the session is through they, and their party, will be *too dead to skin,” “and don’t you ‘forgit’ i | .

Yoorhees and Pacific Mail.

The Terre Haute Journal of the 20th inst. contains the following letter from the Hon. D. W. Voorhees, accompanied by editorial comment: On Monday evening the attention of Mr. Voorhees was called to the insinuation, for it amounts to no morze, in the special dispatches to the -Cincinnati Gazette and other papers, that his name was mentioned in connection with- the Pacific Mail subsidy. "In ten minutes afterwards the following dispatch was forwarded by him: L a 1 “TeRRE HAUTE, IND., Jan. 18, "75. “The Hon. William E. Niblack, or the Hon. Jas. B. Beck, Washington, D. C.

“Specials to the St. Louis Democrat, Cinecinnati Gazette and - Chicago InferOcean seek to implicate me in the Pacific Mail subsidy on Dillon’s testimo-, ny. No greater outrage was ever per‘petrated. I took leave of absence May 21 for the balance of the session, know-, ing nothing about the bill. T had no thousand dollar bill about that time, nor the tenth of it, and I made no deposit of any amount with any one. If necessary for my vindication, sum‘mons me at once. I court and defy investigation. I never heard tell -of the lob%y in the interest of the subsidy. My innocence is absolute and must be made tg appear. . Answer. : w 0 D, W, VOORHEES.

In answer to hisrequest in the foregoing dispatch Mr. Veorhees received a summons yesterday to. which he at | once responded by starting at two. o’clock for Washington. He denounces the insinuation as an unqualified false- | hood, without a single circumstance of. any kind or description to sustain it, _?and eagerly embraces the opportunity to meet, it in person before the com- ;‘ mittee jof -investigatign. This ¥ the first time in a longeongressional career that Mr. Voorhees’ name wis. ever mentioned before a committee. of investigation, and knowing him as we do we have not the faintest apprehension of damage to his reputation. . b

The following :Message sent to Congress last Wednesday, created quite a stir all over the country, and it-is gen--erally thought that it presages a war with Spain. In connection with this it 'may be added, that ‘all the. available ships ‘of war have been sent to Key | West, and it looks as though the Cu%ba,n difficulties might yet result in a \clash of arms with Spain: ST 70 the Senate and House of Representatives: i In my annual Message of December 1, 1873, while inviting general attention to all the tecommqu:&_iop,s, ‘made by the secretary of war, your special attention was called to the *iieéd“ ‘of 'a prepa‘ration for war, 1n the armamentof our ses coast defences. = The proper armament is“%' _vastly more importance than the fortification. The latter' can be supplied very speedily for temporary ‘purposes when neeged. The former can not. These views gain increased strength and pertinence as the -years.roll by. Thavenow again the honor to call special attention to the condition of the armament of our fortifications and' the absolute necessity for an immedlate provision by congress for the procurement of heavy cannon. The large expenditures required to supply a number of guns for .our forts is the strongest argument that can be adduced for a libgrlx;ﬁ annual appropriation for their gradual accumula‘tion. In & time of war sucly preparations can not be made. Cannon can not be purchased in the open market nor: be manufactured at short notice. ‘They must be the produfct of years of experienced labor. I herewith enclose copies of the report of the chief of ordnance and of the board of ordnance of-. ficers on the trial of eight inch rifles converted from ten inch smooth bores, which shows very conclusively an economical means of wutilizing these useless smooth bores and making them into eight inch rifles capable of piercing seven inches of irdn. The 1293 ten in.. guns should, in my opinion, be so utilized and the appropriation requested by the chief of ordnance g $250,000. to commeénce these conversions as earn‘estly recommended. While convinced of the economy and necessity of these. conversions, the determination of the best -and most economical method of providing guns of still larger calibre should no longer be delayed. The experience of other nations, based on new conditions of defense brought promi‘nently forward by the introduction of ironclads into every navy aHoat, demands heavier metal, and rifle guns of not less than twelve inches in calibre. ‘These enormous masses, hurling a shot of 700 pounds, can alone meet many of the requirements of the national de‘fenses. They must be provided, and ‘eXperiments on a large scale can alone give the data necessary for the deter‘mination of the question. A suitable proving ground, with all the facilities referred to by the chief of ordnance, with a liberal annual appropriation, i 3 an undoubted necessity. The guns now ready for trial can not be experimented upon without funds, and the estimate of $250,000 for the purpose is deemed reasonable, and "ig strongly recommended. The constant appeals for legislation on the armament of" fortifications ought no longer_to be disregarded if congress desires ih peace to preparethe important material without which the future must inevitably lead to disaster. This subject is submitted with the hope. that the consideration, it deserves, may be given at the present session. (Signed) £ o UOBB GRANT: ExEcurivE MANSsIoN, Jan. 20, 1875,

Spiritualism.

My own observation of spiritualism have "‘convinced me of three things: First, that its phenomepa are invariably associated ' with mﬁ and nervous perversions, and erally with morbid moral -impulses of the type that accompanies epilepsy; secondly, that mediums are, as a rule, persons of defective physical organization; thirdly, that the seances rapidly exhaust the nervous operator. I have notes of one instance in which the medium died of exhaustion consequent®upon his most celebrated feat. Again,so far as I have observed atseances given by trance-mediums, those predomata. of the epileptic attack, sudden endaverous pallor and a kind of fading of the eye, accompanied with dilations of the pupil, « invariably precede and announce the supervention of the trance; and another fact conclusively established is, that although the trance supervenes at the will of the medium, it must always be preceded by a stage of incubation more or less prolonged, during which nervous hebetude is distinetly present, and the intellectual faculties are torpid: Miss Fox has been known to fall fainting on a sofa: in the midst of a seance and Mr. Home’s health is broken at scarcely forty, 0 ’ s

These observations have now covered cases. enough to permit the affirma. tion ‘that clairvoyance and its peri~pheral nerve-atmosphere are . determinately the results of the reflex excitability incident to epilepsy; and I know from actual observation - that epileptic convulsions may be replaced by artificially induced clairvoyance, at least in some instances. I have, also, personally ‘observed that epileptics, .pending the stage of incubation, always appear to be enveloped in a highly excited and sensitive nerve-atmos-phere, which, sometimes accompanied’ with sulleness, sometimes with sensory exhalation, is one of the precursors of the attack. Indeed,this excited aura often of considerable periphery, is, so far as my studies have extende({ invariably in«%dative that a nervous crisis is at hand; and, on eomparing‘notes with physicians, I find that medical men have noticed the same g,hepmnenon, not only incident to epilepsy, but as the exponent of the stage of incuba‘¢ion in periodical mania generally -— Francis Gerry Fairfield ;.

The Courier-Journal makes the following rather pretty use of its knowledge of modern ' sensation: literature : “All that the Republican party can do now is to do harm. .
