i. or subject i attracting to .otlou in tbo rtwdical world to lay t of ptomaine. A ptomaine, sayi fro- -or Victor C. V aughan, la a txuic of alka .oidal body funned during tlie putrofactloa of animal matter. It may, therefore, Le callod an animal alkaloid. The drat dofinito Investigations on this subject were made by the learned Daninh physician who presided so ably at the eighth international medical congress in ISS-l Dr. l'auuni, of Copenhagen. I'anum found that putrid blood, even after being boiled and after being treated with chemical reagents, which would destroy all germs, retained its poisonous properties. He boiled this poisonous substance for eleven hour and found that it still retained all its virulence. From this be rightly concluded that tbo poisonous substance was a non-voLv tilo chemical compound. He did not succeed in isolating it, and it has always been referred to as Iuiiudu putrid poison. Pan urn's work was published in Danish, and did not attract much attention for some years. la ISKii liergmann obtained from putrid yeast a highly poisonous crystalline substance to which he gave the name Sepsine. In the following year Zeulzer and Sonnenschein ob tained a substance which resembles atropia iu its physiological action, and in a medico legal investigation Rorsch and Fassbeader discovered an amorphous Ixxly which gave reactions similar to those of digitaline. Dfiico Jones uud Durpre about this time also obtained from the liver a substance which, when dissolved in dilute sulphurio acii, gave luo (luoreKeiice of sulphate of quinine, and w hich wan called by them animal chiuoidiue. From putrid meat Professor Brieger incpurod a sub.-.tuwe, neuridine, which acted as a iioison as long as it was contaminated with other products of nutrefactiou; otherwise linrmlt-sa. It L closely related to two sub stances that occur in tho human system in its normal coiuliiiou, namely, ueurine, ouo of the constituents of the brain; and choline, which U present iu the bile. By putrefac tion, - neuridine and the rather harmless choline, are transformed into the highly loUmou3 ueurine. It ik a remarkable fact that ueurine, which is indcutical with mus carine, tho poisonous principle of a toad stool, ami which is a normal constituent of tho Luiiuid lody, should prove so destructive v hen introduced into the body from un out tido source. I-OISOXS FOCND is CORPSES. The fact that tho poisons of putrefaction 11 ro of a chemical nature accounts for the jioisons found in corpse. These poisons bear fcoino reseiiibluuco to the alkaloids of the hemlock, strychnine, reratriue, etc. A gen eral wiu sup)csed to have been poisoned by his servant, in Ilome, and a poison was found jn his bod3', bearing a great resemblance to n virulent poisou fouud in tho larkspur. Dut this evidence of murder was overcome by the j-uceess of the lato distinguished professor f legal medicine in the university. Professor fcklmi, of Bologna, in obtaining tho same poison from a corpso where every suspicion t poisoning was excluded. in 1S70, Selmi began a series of investiga tions concerning ptomaines, which was only interrupted by his death. Selmi obtained from putrid Uesu extracts which gave re actions similar to thoso of morphine. Etry ch ili no and delphiniuo. Dut bo did not succeed in isolating completely any ptomaine. Kencki, in 1670, first succeeded la determin ing the composition of a ptomaine. This kjbstauce was obtained from putrid gelatine. The poisons like those found In corpses, called ptomaines by chemists, are created by the putrefaction of fish, white of egg, meat, cheese, gelatine and yeast. The presence of moisture is an essential condition, hence- the moist mixture of sausage filling is especially well adapted to the formation of these poisons. It Is a matter of observation that a great many cases of poisoning have fol lowed the consumption of sausage or of fish that have been kept damp. The action of tho ptomaines is more virulent when they are introduced into tho circulation through wounds, than when they are in the stomach. Hence, it is that cuts received while di secting corpses often end in death. FEUSONS WDO AH2 SENSITIVE. People are not equally sensitive to these poisons. Some persons are so sensitive that fish seemingly fresh will cause them incon venience. Others are likely to suffer from a iculiar .eruption of the skin after eating crabs or lobsters. In the maize porridge, I which is called "polenta," and which is the chief food of a certain class of Italian work men, there is formed by putrefaction in hot weather a poison which causes "pellagra," an eruption of the skin resembling erysipelas, which grows worse In time and finally causes death. In every day life the ptomaines give evi dence of their presence. The frequent in flammations of the fingers of persons engaged in washing dishes are due to this cause. The beat remedies for the evil is washing with soap, which acts as a mild disinfectant. All food, whether vegetable or animal, must be regarded with suspicion as soon as the first signs of decomposition become noticeable). Especially should great care be taken in times of epidemics. The poisons of putrefaction are odorless compounds, and it must not always bo inferred that they do not xlst before tbo odor of putrefaction is per- 'ved. These poisons are not destroyed by ng. -r hundred cases of sickness in Soabia n traced to sausage poisoning from "53.

Her disorderly tresses blowing in the fresh breeze that came up from the shore looked like a mass of golden flax, waving and .glistening in the warm August sunlight. The geese themselves were rather a dejected and mournful looking lot. At least they were not of the class tliat an artist would choose with which to produce an effect of light and shade on canvas; though, to be sure, they were ri- diculouUr picturesque as they ran to and fro, quarreling incessantly. The little girl proved herself a most attentive guardian to such an uninviting company. Bhe hurried here and there among ber refractory charges with a never tiring pace; driving reluctant ones from occasional puddles beside the path way, in which they were disposed to linger, and restricting thoso who now and then stopped to settle certain disputes that arose between them from fighting it out. She told me that the geese belonged to ber papa all except one. And that one, which she proudly pointed out, but which 1 was unablo to dis tinguish from the rest, although I said that I could, she declared with a lisp really be longed to ber. I had been out for a tramp all day and, indifferent as to where my steps led me, as long as they were away from tho boated flagstones and brick and mortar of the city, 1 accompanied my little gooso girl in the direction of ber homo, whilo I listened to ber innocent chatter about her flock. She held ber switch toward a dilapidated shanty that stood almost at the top of tho bill, and which, at least, jos.sesed some in terest, if for no other reason than that it was tho most woeful looking rookery that one's imagination might picture. It was con structed of old, roughly planed boards green with ago and covered iu places with patches of lichen. Its roof was an uneven mass of black tar paper, so jwpulur with the inhabi tants of Shantytown, while against tho sides of the building was piled an amazing quan tity of old iron and other refuse. A goat was wandering about aimlessly outside, and as I approacded, two dirty faced children, in short frocks, who wero eating bread and but ter, came up to where 1 stood, in order that they might wipe their greasy bands ou my coat sleeve. From their mother, who was kind enough to call them back, I learned that the geese, which now gathered themselves together within a fenced inclosure behind the house, were raised altogether for the market, and that the returns were of great assistance in maintaining the littlo family. Many of their neighbors kept flocks of these fowls, too, for tho vicinity seemed to be a most favorable breeding place. There are certainly many ways of adding to one's income, and in tbo suburbs goose farming does not appear to be the least insignificant of them.

Talking about the milk cure, it has caused a decided boom in tho dairy trado, and we can scarcely supply our custom, as it was already sufficiently large, 51 ilk is the de mand of the hour, the greatest call being among the physicians, their families ana patients. One prominent medical man al ways orders five gallons a day, two-fifths of which is consumed by himself. He does not take so much now, because be unfortunately is a victim of the cocaine habit. The deadly drug is slowly killing him, and be is gradu ally abandoning bis practice, which was an immense one. One pf bis favorite methods of cure for bjs nervous patients is to order them to be quiet for several months and to take milk as their only nourishment, and in large quantities. I know one lady who was considered a victim of cancer, who was un able to retain anything except milk for 6ix months. Yet she eventually recovered. However, in cases of dyspepsia, milk ought to be tabooed, and such people should confine themselves exclusively to buttermilk, which has already gone through a process of diges tion before it enters the stomach. Butter milk is a cure in itself for disorders arising from indigestion. But the way sweet milk is used now in all drinks, In the saloons and drug stores, in "milk shakes, eta, is surprising. However, its most unique demand is as an article of the toilet, which use is constantly growing. WTiy, I have twelve regular orders, four of them on Lindell avenue, from ladies, for eight gallons of milk daily. In this the mis tress of the bouse takes ber evening bath. She considers this equal to the champagne bath, so celebrated among r aruuan ioqies, only the milk baths are much less expensive, skimmed milk being considered sufficient. and eight gallons amounting to only 80 cents a day. I suppose tho idea is an offspring d the popular craze for modernizing the an tique, and Poppro, the beautiful wife of Hero, who daily bathed in milk for the benefit of ber complexion, is perhaps the exajnple, Dairyman in Globe-Democrat, are so hedged about with forma and char acters that they cannot be raised with a der rick or forged by a blacksmith. There Is in Chicago a man who probably bandies more of this rural negotiable paper than any one else. He deals in a class of literature which is sent "securely scaled" on receipt of price. When bis advertising bluffs in the columns of the country press are called, he shows down a pair of literary deuces, but be rakes in tbe pot all the same, smiling to himself the while at the gullibility cf the bucolic public. They seek something for nothing; be gives them nothing for something. Tbo other day he showed a check bo had received In payment for a book which be termed in his pastoral advertisement "rich. rare and racy." Tbe check was drawn on a bank In a small western town of tbo mush room era, and it was drawn by the president of the bank. It was for lh Tbe signature was evidently in imitation of that of the man who signs jiasses lu a railroad office which are "not good unless countersigned by," and across the signature, at an anglo of forty-five degrees, was written the legend, "One dollar." No ouo could havo raised it or altered it unless be bad been a Herrmann or a Kellar. It was collateral for a dollar that would have baffled even an Oberkampf. It was "exhibit A" of the caution of a coun try banker. Chicago Herald. A Conplo of Clever Tricks. A healthy looking mail horrified our peo- plo a year ago by munching glass apparently as tho average American eats peanuts. He did not eat glass, however; bo swallowed a skillfully prepared composition tint resem bled glass, but bis punishment is recorded nevertheless. Tho class eater is under the physicians' care. The exposure of tho trick will lessen the consumption of the diet that has brought a trickster to grief and a gruel diet. This imposture is not as bad as Annio Brown's imposition. About eighteen years! ago a woman living in Wayne county, N. Y.. named Annie Brown, puzzled the doctors. She professed to be the victim of a snake. Tho 6nako owned ber. It was seen in ber mouth, but when the doctors tried to get it it returned to ber stomach. Annie made some money exhibiting the bead of the snake, until she was taken to the infirmary, and thero one day a shrewd physician sud denly choked ber and compelled ber to dis gorge tbo snake, which proved to bo a large pieco of black India rubber that she slipped down ber throat, and then, with her convul sive movements, raised up and down. Of the two, Annio Brown's is much the cleverest trick. The managers of museums might revive it now that glass eating is one of tbe lost arts. Pittsburg Bulletin. . How To Do It.

It is astonishing how little thought invalids and their friends bestow on some questions in which they are vitally interested. For instance, it is an every day occurrence for people who either suffer with or are threat ened by pulmonary diseases to leave for Colo rado, by order of physicians. But very few of them inquire why tho climate of Colorado is expected to benefit them. The fact is that except in the early stages of lung disease it is a problem which puzzles even good physi cians, whether that climate will do good or harm. Denver is more than 5,000 feet above tho sea leveL That is to say, St. Louis, be ing about 700 feet above the sea, Denver is nearly a mile higher then we are hei, The result is that the atmosphere is far more rare, and the theory upon which residence there is supposed to benefit weak lungs is that the extra exertion necessary to inhale the proper amount of the vitalizing element gives fuller and freer play to all parts-of the lungs, and preserves them from deca But so great a change in altitude as that from St. Louis to Denver, if made suddenly, may be too severe a strain upon a nature weakened by disease, and the change has of ten proved fatal When symptoms of con sumption appear and medical advice is sought, if the patient has means, he is nearly always advised either to go west, for the reasons I bave indicated, or to go south this on a different theory altogether. I have often thought, however, that when the Colo rado trip is recommended, the advice should, bo coupled with a provision that the change bo made by easy stages, rests being made at least three times on the road, to enable the lungs to become gradually accustomed to the changed conditions.
