"Do yo:i think that the vile sniclhi ema
. nating f rom the torn up st roots haveany
thing to do with tho prevalence of colds'"
asked the reporter of Dr lewis A fcayro
"Mo.st unp:iestio".iab!y I do Those
gases of which you speak are very poison
ons They attack and weaken the system
of liny ouo that breathes them to such an
extent t hat it becomes more easily afiocted,
not only by climatic changes, but by ail
disea-es The st rung man may t hrow ell
Ji:ea-e. but tho weak oi;o hris to go un
. Jer 1 consider it an outrage that the
1 citizens of this city have to bo subjected
to t he dangers resulting from breathing
such an atmosphere In my daily rounds
; us a physician I pass tl;i-.!gh whole blocks
j of this detestably vitiated atmosphere,
and I cannot wonder that tho people of
the noiihborhoiil are LI."
"lo you think that the smoking of
cigcret ten makes one more liable to con
tract cold?"
"Yes. Tho smoke f rum the stuff that
is put into cigarettes Irritate tho mucous
membrane of tho bronchial tuiM-s until they
Iwcomo inflamed, and iu that condition
they are more susceptible to the attaeks
of cold. But tho subject of colds is such
a v. ido ono and so varied that it is inipos
siblo now to enter into a detailed discus
sion. I think that you may safely put
down tho rcmarkablo prevalence of tho
m.iiiy troubles that aro classed as cold.s to
tho extraordinary climatic changes that
wo have recently experienced and to the
foul stenches that beset us from tho torn
tip streets."
"It is news to me that colds aro so
prevalent," aaid Dr. Anthony Buppauer,
the next physician visited. But I do find
a prevalence of bronchial troubles which
aro often mistaken for colds, such as
bronchi..! catarrh, bronchitis, tonsilitis,
pharyngitis, laryngitis, and all such
troubles that aro commonly donomiuated
colds. They r.ro iu reality the natural
results of breathing tho abominable gases
that arise continually from our streets.
The solid particles in these noisomo va
pors continually strike on the mucous
membi'ttiie, and finally cut it away. This
produces violent inflammation, and in
that condition ono becomes thoroughly
susccptiblo to climatic changes. I regard
New York as the healthiest city in the
world on account of its maguiucent situa
tion. It is washed on either side by a
mighty river, and a pure ocean breeza
blows over it continually. Eut if it wero
not for this splendid situation it would
bo tho unhealthiest city in tho world, for
tho municipal government seems to bo
doing alt in its power io achievo that end.

lr. T. S. Kobfrt?oQ was eo ill with a
cold that Le could scarcely speak when
tho reporter called, but thosubjeet pleased
him and ho talked on it with much free
dom, lie agreed fully with Dr. Sayro and
Dr. Ruppauer concerning the effect of tho
gases from tho streets and tho habit of
cigarotto smoking on producing colds and
throat troubles. He said that two years
ago when tho streets were being opened
he had twenty-seven cases of ulcerated
soro throat at ouo time in tho Broadway
hotels between Twenty-third and Forty
second streets. He had observed since
that the people along tho line of any
thoroughfare that was being disrupted
were subject to throat troubles, coughs
and colds, a condition that ho attributed
wholly to the miasmac condition of the
atmosphere In such neighborhoods.
"But there aro other influences that
must be considered," he continued. "In
tho first place, we live hero on an island
and in a continually damp atmosphere
As a result, we are arilicted with catarrhal
troubles. New York has 50 per cent, more
cases of catarrh than any city in the world
except Boston. Xow this catarrhal con
dition is so susceptible to climatic influ
ence that any little change in the weather
brings on a cold in some shape.
"Another very important factor in this
matter is the carelessness of people in
dressing themselves. A man comes home
froin business at night, throws off a heavy
suit of clothes, jumps into full dress,
although the temperature has fallen 0
dgs., and starts for the theatre. His
wife rigs out in some fanciful costume
that does not keep her half warm and ac
companies him. They 6top in the lobby
of the theatre and remove their wraps so
that the audience may have a full
view of their splendor as they prom
enade down the aisle. Meantime,
they are in a chilling draught.
Between the acts tho man cornea out and
stands about smoking a cigarette or else
he runs across the street to get a drink.
After the theatre it is a little supper at
Delmonico's, where they have to wait in 3
draught half an hour for a table. Then
they will probably sit by a half open win
dow. The next morning they wonder how
they could have caught cold and grumble
at the doctor's fee. Half my patients
caught coid in just that way, and in
fact I must confess that my own severe
hoarseness is due to just that cause.
"But colds are caught in a thnstuid
ways, such as walking last and stopping to
talk a few minutes, overheated rooms,
drgughty cars and so on ad infinitum. Most
colds come from the open pores, of the skin
being suddenly closed and the blood being
thus driven from a surface or t,kin circu
lation to the lungs. In other words, cold
is congestion. It is almost impossible to
avoid this evil, and my individual experi
ence shows that it Las teen increasing
every year for tho past threo years.
Seventy-live iicrcsut. of my patients have
catarrh troub'.n in ono shape or another.".

! AN analysis of waiters.
Varieties to no Fuuml In the City of
Brooklyn Wage anil TJ. ,
With tho first class waiter I havo little '
to do. Ho i.s. as a class, too well known.
It is with his loss pretentious brother, the
loud mouthed gentleman who otliciates in
tho popular restaurant, that I havo to
deal. The profession of waiter cannot bo
learned in a day. A bright mt'.n might,
if given tho opportunity, bo ablo to carrv
a tray of dishes satisfactorily after a j
wceii s pract ice. but the calling demands
that he shail servo an apprenticeship
This means six mouths' service as helper
lo tho dishwasher. It is his duty to pile
up and carry away tho dishes dirtied dur
ing the busiest hours of tho day. when
the waiter proper has all he can d- to sup
ply his customers with food. 1'roin t hit!
lie graduates into a utility mn. when
l is duties aro nmra numerous and re-.-'poiisiblo.
lie must then seo that the
pitchers are kept filled with ico water;
that tho salt cellars aro never permitted
to become empty, and that there i.s a s-1 . f
fieiency of butter on tho tables. In t:d
iliiiou ho must see to it that each table
has enough glasses, and with jdl theso
tilings to attend to time does not hang
heavily on his hands. From utility man,
having been in tho business from six
months to a year, he is roeeived into tho
guiid of waiters and permitted to earn his
living lit Lis chosen calling
Tho second class waiter of Brooklyn !
f nri.isbcs i more mat ter for study than his '
i.i iMoci rtlic contemporary Ho is more
approachable and does not carry himself
with the grandiose air affected by the man
of tips tie lever receives a tin, and is tit
lc.ist moro natural if less obliging than
tho man whose palm must bo crossed with
silver before good rc:'vii cr.:i l e secured
IJronklyii roolaurauts and waiters can bo
divided into three classes, first, second
and third. In the first ono can secure
good service and an excellent dinner for
about $1. In this class tips aro indispen
sable. For half tho sum a good dinner is
to bo obtained in tho second Class restau
rant, and while tipping is not absolutely
necessary, it goes a long way toward se
curing the choice cuts. The third class
includes the twenty-five and fifteen cent
restaurants, m which the food may or may

To return to my second class waiter.
He can bo found all over Brooklyn, but in
larger numbers on Fulton street and
Myrtlo uveuuo. These are his stamping
grounds. lie knows and is known to
everybody, and when on auy ono of these
pleasant sunshiny mornings it pleases
him to walk abroad ho is saluted ou all
sidas. I have in mind a waiter employed
in a restaurant recently established in
Willoughby street. Ho is a typical mem
ber of his class, with perhaps this excep
tion, that ho drevees better than tho ma
jority of his fellows. Just now ho is
ablaze with diamonds. In his shirt front,
which is fully exposed by a low cut vest.
are 1 urea stones or two carats each., mm
iature electric lights in their way. On
his left hand ho wears two largo rins.
just how heavy I do not know. His dress
is always correct and ono would never
take him for a waiter. It is in the v.in
ter that ho shines out in r.U tho glory of
bright young manhood. His particular
fad at this season is a coat with fur col
Lir aud cuds. His is a striking fiarui-o.
and ono would hesitate to ask him for a
sui'!;:i "and havo it rare." During Lui
ncss hours he wears ht3 eMamonds th(
same a.; though ou tires parade, and it is
leMK.v a luxury to bo waited c:i by Lir.i.

Waiters in ono or two restaurants I might
mention make from 12 to 13 a wiek,
and others, very popular, perhaps $3
more. JJecond class waiters average 3 a
week and three meals a day without lodg
ing. The pay is not such as to induce
men to enter the profession, although this
certainly is true, "Onco a waiter, always
a waiter." The life is not an excessively
hard ono and has its advantages. One is
always sure of getting enough to eat, such
as it is, and with some men thi3 is the
acme of happiness. "Sesame" in Brook

Diseases Anion; Chickens.
Fowls are subject to many diseases
when confined in restricted quarters in
towns that do not appear where unlimited
liberty is enjoyed on a farm. When
fowls aro slightly ailing, but will still eat
and drink, there is hope for them, as
remedies can bo admiuisteretl in food and
water, but when they become so bad they
can only be deietored by force, unless in
the case of unusually valuable ones, the
best thing to do is to kill them and re
move them from the others. For keeping
fowlci in good health in small runs their
quarters should be kept clean and be oc
casionally disinfected, and particularly
should they bo kept free from vermin.
An ailing Muck should at once be examined
for chicken lire, which constitute a fruit
ful source of disease. When chickens are
infested with tl.e;a, although they may eat
well they wiil not iuiprovo. but will "lose
in tone and condition and so beeonia easy
subjects for diseases. Fowls affected iu
that way should be greased about the
neck and under the wings and along the
back, or insect powd'?i piay be dusted into
tho fept.bjrs. The quarters, after being
cleaneel. should be spraj ed with kerosene
oil. Let them out for a run before going
to roost when it can be done. Giro a
tablespoonful of the Douglas mixture daily
iu tLoit drinking water while tho disease
is on the premises, afterwards give to well
fowls two or threo times a week-
