the progress o( the affxtion. Like
small-pox, it spreads by infection and
contagion. The contagion principle
is exceedingly subtile. It fills the at
Tnstphcrc of the rooms of the sick, and
clings with desperate tenacity to cloth
ing. A strip of flannel may remain
contagions for upward ol a jcir; and
a cloak put on eighteen months alter
its exposure has communicated the
ilirae. This fact shows the necessity
of thorough ventilation of the rooms
of the sick, and of the disinlection of
all articles oi clothing used about them.
It also proves that those who viit the
sick oi scarlet-fever arc very liable to
carry the poison in their clothing, and
disseminate it widelv. It very oltcn

The eriod of incubation oi the poi

week. The first symptom is generally

throat i slightly sore ; there is head
ache, thirst, restlessness, and slight de
liram at night. These symptoms con
tinue about forty-eight hours, whea
the rash makes its appearance over the
lower part of the neck and aper part
ol the chest. This rash is oi a bright
searlet is healthy persons, having a vel
vety appearance, but not raised or
rough. On the second day of the rash,
it spreads over the body, and on the
third over the limbs. At this period
it begins to lade on the chest and body,
aad about the third day from its ap
pearance on the hands and feet, it dis
appears altogether. It returns, how
ever, as a light blash for several days,
with more or less fever. With the

no positive results have been obtained.
Judicious nursing is far more impor

without exposure to draughts d air:
in this room he shoold remain until
thoroughly well, nnless it be fummei
season. The clothing should be light
during the rah, and increased after it,
and not be changed until convalescence
is thoroughly etablished. Cold drinks
should be given very sparingly; bnt
the body may 1h spunged over frequent
ly ; when the skin is hot. It is well to
put a light flannel scarf around the
neck, and to apply camphorated oil
dally freely around and nmiertho angle

rice-water, or similar simple liquid

sides when it may be solid, but must
still b simple, as rice, farin.t, etc.
If the early stages oi the fercr arc
passed in safety, the danger will de-
pena upon trie exposure ol tho new
tender surface to cold, and the rcsnl
ting dropsy. It Is surprising how
sensitive tbe denuded body is to cold ;
the change of an article of clothing,
the lowering ol the temperature 61 the
room at night, stepping into a robm
having a lower temperature, are but
lew oi the many ways ol so chilling
the skin as to suppress perspiration
and induce dropsy. It is fur tins rea
son that the light caC4 are more often
followed by serions consequence; less
care is taken of their clothing and sur
roundings than ol tho severely sick in
the early slagrs.
There are two simple methods of
rendering patients less liable to dropsy
after scarlet-fercr. The first is by rap
bing them over frequently with fitly
substances, as lardor oil, and thus for
ming a coating which supplies in part
the los of the scarf skin. The second
is, frequent warm baths daring con
valescence; they are very grateful, and
tend to prevent internal congestion",
while thev increase tho action ol the
skin. As in the bath, the old skin
separates, and as this is charged with
tho poison of scarlet-fever, great care
should be taken to remove tbe refuse
water beyond tho reach of exposure, or
disinlcct it.
No case of scarlet-fever, however
simple, should be unattended br a
competent physician. llcartkjutnd

SuaiuLiAS tor "MccK." Swamp
muck is vegetable matter in a' stato of
slow decomposition. In the swamp
the decomposition is exceedingly slow
when dried and mingled with the
soil, much more rapid. And regetable
matter may be used in a mmnra heap
a a substitute for swamp muck or peat.
Wood mold Is the closest approach to
it. The parings of wet meadow land,
or any grass sods taken from the fence
rows or sides of the road, laid in a
heap to decay, resemble it closely, aad.
both these articles may be nsed when
dry in the stables or ranis, as absorbents.
They will make mud, however, if they
