Tlio Into lerrlhlo boreavoniont of a f.ither nnd mrtlhor n Salem by1 the loss of all tlirlr tlireo children, died of Djphtheria, awaken" nnxloin tlionclit nnd earnest Irqulry. The object of l''8 communication Is to avixkun thought on the sutljoct of opidpmlos, such as diphtheria, warlet faver, masal?, Mnall pox, yellow favor, eml all inlVtlniis poNous, nnd to cnnviiico tho undorstnnilinfi that naturo suggests, or rattier, clanrly loach a an Inpalmiile Cuhk lor all theso lovers, and overy othar of. whateor namo. Lot us reason about this for a motuout, oiuHee If we cannot dli!o or tho fatal orror that has kept the medical school men from seeing tho truth as God meant that men s'nould ceo it lu re gard to the theory and practice of curing the sick. Wo notice, 1st, Tho axiomatic fact that there is a bidden power, a Ufa principle per vading all nature. 2nd, That under certain conditions it commences tho Individualized existence of tho plant, tbe r.uiurml, and tbe man, and, clrcumstancos favoring, builds up each to its mature state and sustains it during its allotod time. 3d, Tho conditions of health iu tho human being, are air, food, water, sloop, oxorclso, rest, &c. 4th, Tho chemlco vital union of air and carbon In the organ ism, together with the friction occasioned by the coursing of tbe blood, through the vas cular system, and that wonderful process called assimilation, produces Animal Hkat. iith, When all tbe conditions of health convene, that Is, when the food Is of the pro per amount and quality, tbe air plentiful and good, water pure,rdcc7tbo heart, beats. rogu- lutal .m fiAfA 1AA ..atift tli InnmiTnanil inwj ..vy-u wy .vf .- -., .-B w. .... and contract fronV13 to 25. timet In minute. according to age, sekand condition, and'th'e vital beat -resulting", from these and. ol her normal vital actlpn, is 98 'in the axilla, or under the tongue. In other words, when the vital force la under the influence of health' fut stimuli alone, the heart and lungs act aa described and the heat of the body is 08, Fahrenheit. 6th, When anything unfavora ble to health, of an exulting character Is taken into the system, the vital principle manifests Its reslstauce by an Increased action of the heart and lungs; if of a depressing or narcotic character, the vital action becomes lot than normal. Axiomatic observation: The last statement Is just as true when tho exciting or depressing poison Is administered according to the art of tbe physician, as when taken into the system unconsciously in the form of malaria or Infection. 7th, Na ture, or the vital Principle uuder considera tion, after commencing an organic structure, works regularly and uniformly for its pres ervation, whether the stimuli are normal or abnormal, until the organism is worn out, or so broken down in tissue, or deranged in function that it fluds no longer a dwelling place. Inference, 1st, If in a child of live years, under the influence of healthful stim ull the heart beats from 75 to SO, and the lungs contract aud expand from 18 to SO times in a minute, showing vital heat at 9S, we con elude that such is the case because It is na ttire's way of manifesting life under those conditions. 2nd. If, under the influence. o( the abnormal stimuli of diphtheritic, or scarlatina poison, the childs heart beats from 150 to HiO, and the lungs oxpand and contract from 40 to 50 times in a minute, raising the vital heat from 0 to S degrees, we conclude that nature is making a tromendoua struggle to get clear of the offending eaose'and that this extra vital actios, and the consequent beat, must be " all right," because it la the way she takes to restore normal relations. While the Pathologist Ignores nature's plain demands for water to regulate vital heat, and would reduce its excess by using sedative or narcotlve drugs to lessen the in. creased vital action, the cause af the elevated temperatuae of the body, the Physiologist, revering Nature in all her manifestations, observes that, while the heart and lungs act with double their usual force and frequency under the stimuli of Infectious poison, the cousequent excessive heat it) provided for by the almost insatiable thirst of the patient, and an Intense longing for Cool Water, both internally and externally. This aeslre for cool water Is just aa much a part of na ture's euro for any infectious poisoning, as is the increased action of tbe hoart and luugx and tbe consequent heat; for, when tbe de maud is supplied Internally, tbe volume of blood is Increased and thinned, the viscid humors softened and the impurities washed out, as It were, through tbe waste gates of the system; while externally, the skin is re. laxed, the pores opened, and tbe "beat reduced edto the normal standard. How, then, is it possible for a rational aud intelligent mind, in the light of these physiological facts, axi inatic because they need only to be stated to gain instant consent, to ignore nature in her demands for cool water, aud adopt a system of treatment, which reduces the dangerous excessive heat of fever or inflammation by administering narcotic poisons to lessen the actio j of of the heart and lungs. I now cou elude by Kiving a general rule; oue that ap piles in all fevers and inflammations of ev. ery niuie, and a plan of treatment, so slm pie and easy that every mother can safely " adopt it in any cae of diphtheria, croup, scarlet fever, measles, small pox, or no mat ter what tbe name of tbe fever or lotlamnia tion. The rule is, keep tbe heat of the body at tbe normal standard and equalized, by tbe external application of cool and warm water. The method of doing this, is to wrap tho b?dy from the bipa to the armpits in a bandage of teveral Uilckucs'os wot lu cool water, find change, or re-wet, as often as tho skin comraencts to becotno warm under tbe bandage, whether that Is within ten rolnutts or two bour3. This treatment should be begun, as soau as tho child shows tlia firU symptoms or fevarlshness, and who would ba to lik&!y to uot!c8 this iu time as tho moth, tr. Iftho throat becomes ecre, epply very thick cloths entirely nround tho notk, wot in tho cold's t water you can gpt, and chango so often tint tho ckln of tho throat is constantly old. Uivothochlldnllthocold water t wants, which will not bo much if tiio bo.it is con trolled by cxtornal applications. Watch tho fte' and lgs very closely, and If there is tho least lcindiicy to coldness, apply heated dr7 tlannels, or, If that will not do, uriug them as dry as ,ou cin out of hot water, and apply often. If tlii trratuientls faithfully adhered to fiom tho inrei't'ou of thn a'.tectf, no matter what tho nnmo of the fever, cholera Infinitum incluilo.l, for that Is but (mother name of fe ver. It w ill prove an Infam-iiim: Kkmluy for all ordinarily healthy childruu. Iu a practice of 28 yuars, I have beon through many epidemics, and have never seen this treatment fail in a siugle Instance; and it never can fail, for It Is nature's meth od, clearly indicated by her demands. G. W. KliniKK, M. 1). A Criticism on Oregon. Having lately met a gcntlotuan who is visiting our State wfth business views, iu connection with the manufacture of farm machinery, uiul who, while he signs himself " Mechanic," has general and thorough experience of agriculture as carried on in California and the Kast orn States, we have invited him to com municate through our columns his opin ion Of "Oregon as compared with Califor nia, and such other opinions and criti cisms as he might choose to indulge in. While it is plain that he has in view a higher and more thorough system of ag riculture then we have yet been able to reach, it is still evident that his remarks are kindly meant, and that time will show them to be just and reasonable. We need judicious farming to maintain land in its strength and to insure the most reliable succeed. Such farming will foster varied industries to lucrease the general prosperity of our State. An Editor's Appeal. As tho report that we are very wealthy has, gone abroad mnone our subscribers, and has made them awful slow about -paying up, uunKing doubtless wo don't want tho money, we hasten to .say that the report of our wealth is false in overy particular. Completed. Mr. JIann, tho contractor on tho liriek work of the now Capitol Building has laid tho last brick, and an ewolltnt job ho lias done. Some fault maybe found with tho proportions of tho massive structure, but none w ith the brick woilt. Mr. Mann commenced the work of com pleting tuo brick wotk of the II. E. Church yesterday, and will not "let up" until the build ing Is fully enclosed. STATE FAIR, 1875. BOOTHS AT AUCTION. nhlll. KXKITTIVK COMMITTEE OF THK I.
