WILLAMETTE VAKMER: SALEM, OREGON, JANUAKY 25, 1884 . 6 I r - HI' . a I I-.' I. p.X I! I : tt St tv 44 3 , , Cerebral Spinal Menengltts Wo reproduce the following from tlio p3n of Dr. Jns. Withycoinbo, V.S. The Doctor writes ub from Itillboro that he has retired from activo iirofi'Msionul dtttio3 and will licronfter devote his en tire nttcntion to lino Block. Ho hri, however, promised us an occasional articlo on live stock and kindred Mibjocts that may come under lii.i observations. The following aiticlo was originally pub lished in the Karmi:k one year ago : Tho disease is evidently accompanied with a sympathetic nervous nflection, apparently analoRous to Corobrnl Spinal MoncngitK I am strongly of the opinion that tho primary causo of the nervous affection is tomo form of epidemic influenza, very probably a typhoid form of that disease, and the meningial nfitction is due to morbid changes in tho blood, superinduced by ; ine limuuii.ii iiiui irmiiuijj; hi utoiiiHr gration of the blood, eapsulos, etc. Tho tetanic spasms (cramps) of certain mus cles, aro indications that tho ncrvo -.contcrs aio considerably involved. It is hardly posiblo that tho primary cans'1 of tho nervous derangement, la) s in tho feed, for if the feed wns the only jxHent agent, tho vdfseaso would not appear as an epidemic, but only occur in isolated cases. It is well known by veterinaiiaiis that unwholcsomo food, water and im proper sanitary regulations of tho htablo aro extremely liable to produce- spmul monciigu is. v ung.is s u iruiuui iigum, in producing menenigial disenbc, and it is possible that some seasons ato moro favorablo than others: towards tha pro duction nnd drvolopmcnt of rritin fungus or cryptojams on plants that aro utilized for fodder, but this fungus or mildew is usually confined to plants of tho same spocios. If tho diseased Iiowh have been fid on p.'iiticular kind of fied, it would bo well to investigate that sub stance. Hut it is shown above that the disease attacks hoises, irrespective of the kind and uuality of feed that they luivo consumed, which fallows conclusively that tho gonnrnlivo agents am efcewhuio than in tho feed. Tho cough mentioned uy lur. jiuriu'Li' is h pyiimiuiu in u catarrhal or bronchial affection that lie companion influenza, and tho reason that it dors not appear until tho con- valoscency of tho patient is probably duo to anccsthesia. Although it is nhnost impossible fur mo, in tho absence of any knowledge of tho principal symptoms, such as the stato of tho pulse, tho iipppurnnco of the membranes of tho eye and nose, temper ature, and aiucstbcsia (loss of seiibiition in certain muscles, which almost in variably accompanies spinal nicneni gitis,) to arrive with any degree of ccrtnnity to a correct conclusion us to tho real nature of tho disease. Tho fymptoms given nlxivo aro suflicieut to cnahlo mo 'to form an opinion, regard ing a rational mode of treatment to pursue, in order to alleviate the disouso. i'rovontion, an oiiueo of which is worth moro than a pound ofcuit. in stables or neighborhoods where the discuses is raging. It is veiy necrssaiy to pay strict attention to stable icgulations, iced, water, anil allow the horses to o irciso thomsolns icgulaily, turn them in tho pasture on lino days, keep plenty salt within their reach, so that I hoy can lick it at leisure, not coin pel them to tint it by mixing it with tlio feed. Twice 11 week foul them wnim bruu mash (not too wet) with a small tnblo anoonful of the following powder in it: l'ow- Forri sulphate and Fenugreek of cocb 2oz., (Icutiau (ioz. mix. To hoises that aro in a stable where the disease has broken out, give them a warm mash everv night, with 2 tcuspoonfuls of tho sibovo mentioned powder in it; in case of obstinate const) pat ion, add a pint of thick flaxseed tea or gruel to tho mash. Horses that have not been accustomed To getting medicine in their feed, it is necessary to omit feeding them for a meal or two, before oHbring them the niodicutcd feed. Treatment of the diseased ones So Boon as they exhibit tho first symptoms of the disease, take all tho hay and straw away from them, and feed them nothing but warm bum mashes. Put them in a Wttim but well ventilated stable, if they seem cold blanket them, and rub their legs occasionally, so as to keep up an active ciioulution in tho extrometies. If there is no tendeuoy to spasm or nervous oxoitomout, apply a mnstaid blister to tho sides, breast and throat. Take 0 lablcsptxmfuls of ground mustard, make into u thin pasto with warm water, and rub in with the hand, repeat tho applica tion of a very light mustard blister o tho same place every other day. Cilvo III) grains of einchoiuidia sulphate a " little, water, twice daily, or if tho patient is difficult to dreiloh, put tho powder liitou, tablespoon nnd put it back oh Ids touguo dry j also, give & pint of good flaxseed tea'niortiing ririil evening, if Hioy refuse to eat it in tho ma-sh drenah them with it carefully. In eases, where there are symptoms of nervous derangement, euch as spasms or contracting of the muscle. Feed mid give the tea as men tioned aUive. If there is constipation, give first sulphate soda 8 or., in pint of warm water as one drench. Then give bromide of otaium it drachms in a little water every four hours ; also tub some of the following lotions three times daily, all along the Kick. Tinet. arnica ! oi , ' Jiiimomu niunite, nitrate ixiUsh of each 2 ox., water lqt., luixt aho give lujeo tlonu per rectum every four hours until tlio howlc move of tepid easlilo(oa.suds, whou the symptoms indicate that the disease inconsiderably mitigated give the cinclioniiliu twioo dully, instead of the bromide. It is" presumed by tho writor ' that nil tho drenching will' bo done through the mouth, ami the reader of this will not follw tho Inhuman practice of drenching through tho nose. Th Most Valuable Breeds or Sheep. In dihcussing the improvements in sheep and wool.it is well to consider nil tho point that aro likely to provo advnn tagcous. Many difl"ront opinions have been expressed b 'bo press and by ex ports as to what bn i-ds aro tho most val uable, ju our opuiiun mi guuu uitu wools nrr- valuable, and all needed in the United Str.tes. Uut tho qucst'on natur ally arises, which are tho best and most profitable to tho giowor and rcadiet of of sale. As many wool growers have never had the opportunity of seeing wool worked it may not be out of place to explain this inaltcr somewhat. In man ufacturing thoro aro two distinct branches, the one is carding, and the other combing. In selecting wools for carding tho soundness of tho staplo is not of importance, as any kind will card. In combing, tho wool is prepared with great enre, and is put through machin ery, drawing it and stiaightening tho fiber. Fiom thcto machines it goes to anothor termed the comb, and is passod through combs which draw tho fiber straight. If theio bo any short or tender fibers in tho wool, they stick in tho combs. In this pioirss nothing but tho very soundest staplo is taken out; it runs into tho cans piepared to hold it in the shin c of a ronp. This is called a silvo" Fioin this size it is gradually 1 educed jllt0 Jlu 0f tlio riquhed thickness. Tlio short ,,.,. ,,. . ,.,,, ,....,.,,. and tender wool left in tho comb is call ed noils, and is uml for earning pur poses. To ni'iko this' worded requites tlio very healthiest sound stapled wool. This hi .inch of manufacturing is in creasing rapidly in tin) United states, and will undoubtedly, grow fast as time goes on. For this reaton combing wools aro becoming seairo and aio in great de mand, as will bo seen by tho conditions of the E.t'-tern market. While Ohio wooi3 .,rc quoted at fioni -10 to l.1! conts, 'colni,jK Wik)I, graded out of tho same, is ouoted at fiom '15 to f0 cents. Theso classes of wool aro always in great do mand at tlio very top prices. This is only tho iniduiu ui IvmunW, uudyet such qualities aro scarce, showing that manufactures will have to draw heavily on foreign markets to supply their wants Combing wool is of sound staplo from tho root to tho top, ami of reasonable length. All qualities of wool aro used for this purpose. The Into improved combs can comb a staplo two inches long. Thus it will bo seen that if wool is of sufficient sttcngthund long enough it is combing wool. Many medium grades of California wools aro good combing, and if sheared onco a year only, much noithein wool would rank among tho best combing wools grown in tlio country. Medium grades of wool meet with tho steadiest demand, nnd if our sheep bleeders would look into this matter, i hoy would find it to their interest to ascertain what bleeds of sheep aro the he-t to produce such qualities. Tho best wo have yet seen is a cioss fiom the Spanish from tho Shiopshiie. This pro duces n very nice quality of wool, with a very sound, oven, 1 ng, fine, lustrous liber. From samples of theso wools, re cently received, wo sent some to lb" largest nmiiiifiiGliircrs in Massachusetts, and Ihey pronounce'l it among tho best in tho country. One very important matter to consider is what class of sleep is best adapted for our dry climate. As past experiment has shown that the Spanish and French .Merinos do well hore, we think that ther In codssuch 119 the Shiopshircs, H null Downs, and iminy other medium wool sheep would also by profitable. (.u ait and Country Merchant, San FronoiivO. The Woolen Industry. There aro now in operation in this State ten woolen mills, us will bo seen by tho diiectory in this paper, with a ca pacity of 70 sets of cards, and about 280 broad looms. The. cIiim of goods manu factured by uino of theso is blankets, lluniicls and eassimeios. The othor es tablishment manufactures a great variety of goods in addition to thoso abovo men tioned, ruuIi as many varieties of fine shawls, Indies' cloths, lino beavers, etc. The 70 sets of cards now running, al lowing each set ruus through an average of 100 pounds of clean wool per day was -12,000 pounds per week. If they run 52 weeks per year tho total would bo 2,181.000pounds annually. Tho average fthriukago of California wool, taking spring nnd fall clip, is 05 per cent. To make the alnivo amount of scoured wool would requi to. 0,201,100 pounds of un scoured wool. About 10,000,000 pounds of wool are grown annually in Califor nia, besides about 0,500,000 pounds of pulled; tho latter sluinkiug about 33 percent. From this it appears that about one-eighth of, this product is man- fuclurod at home, and that -10,000,000 pounds, has to seek another market, and for thi wo tire dependent oq the Kast to give us wlut they think lit, for-it. Our wool growers aro spoiulmg large sums' to improve broods of sheep and vyoolj and attempting in every way pos sible to make wool growing a success, hut so lonir an to little u manufactured at home, wool growing in California will ooiitinuo to ha largely a speculative busi ness), u woolen niumiiaciuring on tuts coast had to contend tages, as compart d with tho Eastern States, wo would not encourago its ex tension. But such is not tho case. Thcro is no part of tho country where Woolen goods can bo made as cheap as in this State. As wo have before stated, theio is a difference of 22 rents icr pound alone in favor of tho manufacturer here, who buys his wool in San Francisco, or any other part of tho State, as compared with his Eastern competitor, who pur chases Ohio or similar wools in the Bos ton market. Our wools aro equally well adapted for uny classes of goods for which they rail bo used There is a largo and fast growing home demand for woolens, besides that from other portions of tho coast in all directions. Eor manufacturing, tho cli mate horo is all that can ho' desired. Thcro is not a day in tho year that wool oil mills cannot bo run without the slightest cxpenso of fuel for heating, which niii't bo incurred for that pur pose in tho Eastern States. There is as good water for scouring and dyeing pur poses, ns in any pait of the world, nnd plenty of it. There is no scarcity of skilled labor, and, if neccssar more can easily bo obtained, As to 1 ,'.ition, al most nny place in tho State where water, fuel and wool are plenty, is a good ono for the purpose Our wool growers should consider this, and a3 there is now an association in this Stato organized in tucir interest, the prospects aro tnat woolen manufacturing will attract groafor attention tbon heretofore. Wo shall do all that lies in our power to forward this important work. California Exchange. A grower of fine wool, says tho Pitts burg Stockman, was showing us a lino of samples tho other day, of vnrious Iongtbs,somo of which wcio icnlly won derful for Meiino products. Warming up with his thome, lio confidently said : "I expect to grow Merino wool tvn inches long before I die." While wo have no expedition of over seeing Merino wool of that longtb, or anything near it, it must be admitted that this kind of 'on thusiasm is doing much for tho advance ment of" the lino wool intorcsts of tho country. Wool is now grown of a length that would have astonihod our grandfathers, and it is not too much to expect that, a generation or two hence, breeding will achievo things now quite beyond leacli. The Egyptian Idea of Immortality. In Egypt, tho very earliest time, the tomb was of tho greatest significance for sculpture. Of temple ruins on tho Nile from that hoariest past between tho First and Elovcnth Dynasties, thoro is scarcely a trace. How vivid tho witness borne to tho sepulchral art on tho plains of Mom phis, the capital of oldest Egypt 1 Along the margin of tho desort str- tches the vast Necropolis, with a hidden population of statues, sentineled by thoso stupendous roynl tombs, tho Pyramids. Where else hnvq such preparations been mado for tho final rest of tho dead as in this groat campo santo of tho ancient empire? Though mingled with much that was naive and mntorial, how vivid wore tho conceptions of that ancient peoplo con cerning tho future wot Id I They hi lioved this lifo but an episode in an eternal ox istonco. Death to them was tho real life, only evil spiiits being spoken of ns dead. The collin was culled tho ''chest of the living." But to tho ancient Egvpti.m tho immortal part, even after death, was in some mysterious way dependent for its contentod existonco upon tho preserv ation of tho bo ly ; hence tho importance of embalming, tho euro taken to keep the body as life-like aspossiblo and secure fiom harm during tho long period of the soul's probation. Tho ''otornal dwell ings," hewn in the solid rock, high above tho floods, were in strong contrast to the abodes of tho living, built within reach of tho swelling Nile, and of which senrco lv a vestigo remains. The massive chamber or this tomb where lies tho mummy is picturcless, and its entrance is closed by solid masonry. From it n shaft leads up, which was nt many places thirty meters deep, and was filled with, a dense; muss of oarth and stone, making more inviolate tho tnuin my's'rest. Ovor the concealed ontranco of this shaft there rises that other osson tiul part of tho tomb, tho sacred chapel (mastab) o,f equally solid construction. In w dark recess, (sord.ib), nsido from this chapel, ore found many statues wal led up. There- are usually twenty or ln'oio in number, nnd represent the do ceased with great diversity. To what puniosonro they beret Singular beliefs, lrovul6nt among tho Egyptians and rend from the hieroglyphics by Maspero, fur nish us tho key to this problem. An immortal second-self, ka, somewhat resembling tho "eidolon" of tho Greeks and ttye sliado of tho Humans, was be lieved to spring into being with- every mortal, grow with his, growth, and ac company him after death. So closn was the relationship of this strange, double ka to man's proper bong, that it was of the greatest importance to provide it with a mateiiul nnil imperishable body which it should occupy after death, shar ing with the mummy the security of tho "eternal dwelling." It was believed that tho shado ka could come out of this etatuo and Hrambulate among men in true ghostly fashion, returning to it at will. This stony body for tho dead nihn's ka was naturally made in his' exact likeness, and id ?o bore an inscription stating his jiame and qualities, lhita single statue migiu perisii, iuiu iiuppuii-sa iHiiuusiur foited.

Tho nnrrativo below by a prominent scientist touches n subject Xtl universal importance. Few peoplo are free from tho distressing evils which hypochondria brings. They como at nil times nnd are fed by the very flame which they them selves start. They are a dread of .coming derangement caused by present disorder and bring about more suicides than nny other ono thing. Their first approach should be carefully guarded. Editors Herald : It is seldom I appear in piint and I should not do so now did I not believe myself in possession of truths, tho revela tion of which will provo of inestimable value to many who may see these lines. Mine has been a trying experience. For many years I was conscious of a want of nerve tono. My mind seemed slug gish and I felt n certain fulling ofl in my natural condition of intellectual acuteness, activity and vigor. I pre sume this is the same way in which an innumerable number of other people feel, who like myself aro physically be low par, but like thousands of others I paid no attention to those nnnoyingl tioubles, attributing them to overwork, and resorting to a glass of beer or n milk punch, which would' for tho timo in vigorate nnd relievo my weariness. After nwhilo tho stimulants com menced to disagree with my stomach, my weariness increacd, and I was com pelled to resort to other mcons to find re lief If n physician is suffering ho in variably calls another physician to pre scribe for him, as ho cannot sco himself as he sees others; so I called a physician and he advised me to try a little chemi cal food, or a bottle of hypophosphates. I took two or three bottles of tlio chemi cal food with no apparent benefit. My lassitude and indisposition seemed to in crease, my food distressed me. I suffer ed from neuralgic pains in different parts of my body, my muscles became soro, my bowols were constipated, and my prospects for recovery were not very flattering. I stated my caso to anothor physician, and ho advised mo to tako five to ten drops of Magende's solution of morphine, two or three times n day, for tho weakness and distress in my stomach, and a bluo pill every othor night to relievo the constipation. The morphine produced such a deathly nau son that I could not take it, and the bluo pill failed to relieve my constipation. In this condition I passed nearly a year, wholly unfit for business, while the effort to think was irksomo nnd painful. My blood became impoverished, nnd I suit'erod from incapacity with an appall ing sense of misery and general appre hension of coming evil. I passed sleep less nights and was troubled with irregu lar action of tho heart, a constantly fever ish condition and tho most excruciating tortures in mv stomacn, livinjr lor itavs on rice water and gruel, and, indeed, the digestive functions seemed to uo entirely dostroyed. It was natural that while in. this con dition I r-hould beeonio hypochondrical and feai fill sugge.-tions of self destruc tion occasionally presented themselves. I experienced an insatiable dosiro for Icon, but on roiiriiiK would lio nwako for along time tormented with trouhlod Mictions, and when at last I did fall into an uneasy slumber of short dura tion, it was disturbed by horrid dreams. In this condition I determined to tako a trip to Europe, but in spite of nil tho &Xr tentions of physicians nnd change of sce"e nnd climato, I did not improve and so returned home with no earthly liopo of ever again being ublo to leave the house Among tho numerous friends that called on mo was ono who had been af ilictcd somewhat similarly to myself, but who had been restored to perfect health. Uon his earnest recommendation I be gan the same troafmenthe had employed but with little hope of being benefited. At first I experienced little, if any, relief, oxcept that it did not distress' my stomaeh as other remedios or even fpod had done, I continued its use, however, and ufter tho third Ivottlo could seo a marked change for tho bettor, arid now after tho fifteenth bottle I am happy to stato that I am again able to attend to my professional duties. I sleep well, nothing distresses mo tbat I eat, I go from day to day without a feeling' of weariness or pain, indeed I nm n well man, and wholly through the influence of II. II.

Thousands of peoplo to-day nro going to prematura graves with theso serious diseases, ihnt I havo aliovo described, nnd to all such I would say: "Do not let your good judgment be governed by your preju dices, but give tho nhovo namtd remedy a fair and patient trial, mil I believe you will not only bo rewarded by n per fect restoration to health, but you will also lie convinced that the medical pro festion does not possess all tho kuowl edgo there is embraced in medical science."
