w ffe gjaxljj slxrriau- ASTORIA. OREGON : D. C. IRELAXI Editor. TUESDAY Oct. 30. 1877 Treatment of Diphtheria. The papers begin to notice the out break of diphtheria in various local ities to an extent which interferes with the schools and produces general alarm. The rural districts, where new methods of treatment and new reme dies make slow progress, are more ex cusable for the prevalence of this ter rible disease, but it is extraordinary that it should gain the mastery of a medical profession of a city like Provi dence. Although after a certain stage the disease defies remedy, it is well known in the best medical circles to be very docile in its earlier stages. It is remarkable that, the profession does not take more pains to disseminate the latest methods of treatment of diseases which stagger the average physican. Even "state medicine" devotes itself exclusively to the discovery of the causes and source of disease and very little to its remedies. This is a ration al method of procedure, we admit; yet, as this process of extraction of disease is rather roundabout and at best ex X)erimental, it would seem advisable not to slacken the application of known remedies to this disease where it ac tually exists. Diphtheria is a disease which springs from the growth of a real fungus on some of the mucuous surfaces of the system, more generally of the throat. It may be spread by the contagion of the mucuous surface of a disease with those of a healthy person, as in kissing, and is to a lmited degree epidemic. From the local parts effected it spreads to the whole body, affecting the mus cular and nervous system, vitiating the lymph and nutrient fluids, and producing paralysis. As soon as the vacterium or fungus appears in white patches on the throat, it should no more be neglected than a bleeding gash or a broken arm, and there is al most as little need of a fatal termina tion of one incident as of the other. It has been found by .actual experi ment both in and out of the human system, that this vacterium is killed by several drugs, the safest and most cer tain of which is chlorine water, diluted with from two to four times the vol ume o water. This wash is harmless, :even when swallowed, and is pretty certain to arrest the disease. A well -known physician in this city, says the Standard, who has pursued this treat ment for years, has found it effective almost without exception, and has in that period often broken up the dis ease in localities where it had raged violently and defied treatment. Pri or to its use, he lias lost three cases oat of six, but lias since used it with scarcely a failure during the above mentioned period. The recent cyclo pedia of Ziemssen on the practice of medicine, gives the highest place to this method of treatment To keep the patient well housed and warm, with additional flannel clothing if necessary, and to keep the system well -nourished and the bowels open, are matters of nursing often neglected, but, with care is. these jrespects, and every application of the remedies above suggested, there is no need of the liisease proceeding to & frlal ter mination, or even to the debilitating illness and painful cauterization which go together in its later stages,1 As to the -orgin of diphtheria, the weight ftf testimony is that it "belongs to the class of filth diseases, but fur ther than that its source is not clear. Families whieh would be scandalized at the suggestion of untidiuess are at tached, while others of filthy surround ings escape. This simply kiows that our sense of cleanliness needs cultiva tion, 0 that we may discriminate between what is offensive to the sys tem and what is -offensive to x?ur false ly educated tastes. The farmer's wife, to whom the close and carefully dus ted parlor or the preiers&turally scrubbed J3oor are essentials of neat ness, many endured the proximity of our sour swsmp or tfee Mtchen cesspool for years without taking offense. To many .a careful housekeeper, -a chance cob-web or the children's "litter" of a " few hours1 play will out rank in hei- nousness a defective drain for the cel lar or a badly conducted privy. NEWS OF THE MORNING. Senator Mortons's physician has hopes of the senator's recovery, but considers the case a most remarkable and complicated one. Pendleton's chances for Ohio sen atorship are not as good as they were supposed. While he doubtless has the lead, at present it is not expected he can be elected. The competition of Ewing, Paine, General Durbin Ward and General Morgan, seems likely to stay Pendleton and bring some dark horse to the front. Another chance is to be given Sitting Bull for a tight The Times' Washington special says: Townsend, of Illinois, will on Monday introduce a resolution declaring the maintenance of a large standing army hostile to the spirit of the constitution, etc. , declar ing economy necessary and directing the committee on military affairs im mediately to report reducing the army as much as is consistent with the country's peace and welfare. A San Francisco dispatch of Sat urday says: A terrible collision occur red this evening between the steamers Petaluma and Clinton, about half way between Saucehto and Alcatraz island. It is reported a number were killed and drowned. The Petaluma has just arrived here in a sinking condition. Later reports say that all were saved except Manny, the engineer on the Clinton, who, it is said, went down with the Clinton, which sunk from the effects of the collision. A stampede occurred inaNewYork theatre Friday evening occasioned by a cry of fire from some person in the audience. The house was packed to its capacity, and as might have been expected the alarm created a panic. The audience sprang to their feet and a rush was made for the doors. "Wo men screamed and fainted, and the scene was one of the wildest confu sion. As far as could be ascertained, no person was injured by the rush re sulting from the panic. Several ladies were carried fainting into the vesti bule, but soon recovered. It is prob able the alarm was raised to give pick pockets opportunity to apply their nefarious trade. The revelations attending the ex amination of the Safe Deposit Com pany's stock San Francisco are likely to make holders of stock in any cor poration feel rather uncomfortable. But for the Pioneer Bank fiasco, no one knows how long it would have been before the discovery of raised stock of the Deposit Company. The examination shows that that stock has been raised 25 per cent. When was this trick learned? "SVe first heard it in connection with the failure of the Bank of California two years ago. Is it necessary for a corporation to sus pend to bring such deeds to light? Who knows whether stock m any other local incorporation has been raised? One would think mining shares were plentiful enough without making any false issues. The Bulletin asks: What is a good remedy to prevent stock from being raised? Hang the raisers. A Washington special says the prognostications of the adjournment of congress next week or very soon afterwards should be received as only speculative possibillies, or at the fur thest, as the expression of present de sires of certain individual members. It Is unquesionably true that strong influences are at work to effect an earlv adjournment as a means of avert ing a public division in the ranks of both parties prior to the November elections, and in order to give mem bers free scope for political work and party agreement if possible concerning important questions which will come up during the regular winter session. But nevertheless it does not seem propable that the indispensable defi ciency appropriations can be put through both houses before the No vember election day, and thereafter there will be comparatively slight in centive for adjournment. Mean while, there is a good deal of private caucusing between eastern and west ern men of both parties as to the pro posed introduction of the so-called soft money resolution in the house next Monday. Eastern men want others to hold back until after the 6th prox. , in the interest of harmony and for obvious reasons. This will doubt less be agreed to. Sr-Newspapcr advertising is now recognized by busine?s nipn having failh in their own wares, n? the mot effective means for securing for their wares a wide recognition of their merits. BORN.
