The learned edi tor was buried March 29th. He was afflicted with calculus in the bladder and was given ether for the purpose of performing an operation to remove the calculus, but died from the effects of the ether before the operation was com menced. This case furnishes a strik ing example of the great utility of pre ventative medicine, which if put into practice the average duration of human life would be 65 or 70 years instead of 32 or 33 as it no w is,and our population would double every 12 years instead of once in 25 year That is to say that people live only about one-half of their natural lifetime. To prolong the lives of 65 millions of people 32 or 33 years would be the greatest work of modern times. A greater work than any phi lanthropist has accomplished since the beginning of the world. Such an ob ject is worthy the attention of the moat learned of the present age, and the at tention of students in every school ought to be called to this subject for the bene fit of the coming generation. Now, if I can prove that calculus can be prevented, then I shall establish what I cli im in regard to one disease, and what Is true of calculus Is true of gout, rheumatism, heart failure and appoplexy, as well as many other di seases. Life, the most precious gift of earth! To prolong life is to guard against the enemies of our existence and destroy them before they.do us harm. There are two forms of calculus, both frequent and common. The uric calcu lus is the most frequent and forms in the kidney, and is first in the form of little grains of sand which continue to Increase in size. Sooner or later they are carried down Into the ureters, often giving rise to renal colic. The Increased secretion of urine may force it finally into the bladder where it increases in size, from the size of a grape seed to that of an orange. The largest ever removed from the bladder in this coun try weighed twenty ounces. The usual size is from that of a chestnut to that of a hulled walnut. On the other side of the water calculus has been found in he bladder weighing from three to six pounds, filling the entire bladder full. From one to three ounces of calculus in the bladder is quite common. The cal culus is formed of the sediment in the urine, and is never formed in normal urine. The forerunner of this kind of calculus is high colored urine produc ing a sense of burning heat, or scalding when passed ; it also has a strong odor and is strongly acid. When cool it de posits a dark reddish sediment that re sembles cayenne pepper, or brick dust, or rhubarb and magnesia. A large proportion of those afflicted with this form oi calculus are rheumatic or gouty and high livers, great meat eaters. The prominent symptoms 'of calculus are frequent micturation with sudden stoppage of the flow of urine, with se vere burning pains after its passage, the passage of mucous and some times blood in the urine, cystitis, etc., long continued suffering and finally death gives relief. The calculus is formed chiefly of lithic acid which is furnished by the waste and destruction of muscle and from eating meat to excess. sSo long as the urine Is neutral or normal the uric acid is held in solution and passes out of the body without forming calculus, but when abnormal it may be precipitated and form calculus on the teeth, in the glands in the brain, in the kidneys or in the joints giving rise to the most serious consequences. CHALKY CALCULUS OB EARTHY MA TERIAL. The second form of calculus resem bles chalk, and is composed largely of the earthy phosphates. This forms in the bladder and not in the kidneys, and there may be one or several calculi. It accumulates rapidly and is soon large in quantity. I have frequently seen a single handful of calculus taken from the bladder. The symptoms of ir ritation in the bladder are nearly the game as in the uric calculus, but entlro ly different in their nature and cause. The forerunners of this dincasa are al kaline urine passed in considerable quantity. On standing and cooling in a vesl a white chalky sediment is pre cipitated at the bottom of the vessel. This form of calculus U com posed o' phohate of lime, tnagneala and a small quantity of carbonate of lime. It indicates dypepela, wear and tear of brain, draining the brain of its phos phorus. There is los of flesh 1th con stant weakening of the brain and neo vouiayaU-ru. The calculus is rough and the bladder contracts on to it when empty to that the patlnt tuff ere veri ty immediately after paaalng urine un til the bladder fills up emxigh to relieve NORTH WESTERN LINE.

But the suffering re iTia ftgrain ewy time) the bladder is emptied which continues to go on from bad to worn until finally after years of suffering death gives relief. The cause of this complaint is first bard water containing magnet. ian lime stone in solution. The water In the vi cinity of London percolates through magnesian limestone, and It isasignifl cant fact that Sir Henry Thompson has operated on seventy-five patients per month in London for the past ten years and has in his collection 10,467 calculi. While in Pekln the largest city in the world, where the water is soft, Prof. Agnew informs us there has not been a single case for eight years. Dys pepsia and over brain work are frequent causes. This calculus also accumulates on the teeth with diseased gums and with an offensive breath, the odor being like dead oysters or stale urine. ' PREVENTION OP CALCULUS AND KID NEY DISEASES. In the uric acid deposit alkalies of some kiud are always to lie used largely diluted until the urine is normal, but not over a week at a time lest the mu cus membrane of the stomach be de stroyed and the last state of the patient will be worse than the first Agnew prefers carbonato of potash. Flint recommends lithia water. Warn eis Safe Kidney Cure is composed of salt-peter and wintergreen, and would be improved by juniper berries. It can be made for about 25c per gallon. Mrs. Stevens' celebrated antalithic, for which parliament in England paid 5,000 pounds for the secret, was com posed of castile soap and calcined egg shells. In a large proportion of cases accord ing to my own observation, the liver is at fault and does not furnish a suffi cient quantity of normal bile which is the best natural solvent for urlo calcu lus. There is atrophy of the liver, ob struction of the bile ducts which form a catarrhal condition with vitiated bile or functional disease. I have therefore adopted the plan of giving colagogues which has proved more satisfactory to me than any other kind of treatment PREVENTATIVE TREATMENT OF CHALK OR PHOSPHATE CAIXTJCLUS. If alkalies are given in this diathesis it only increases the trouble and hast ens death. ' The mineral acids are to be given in this case with a good nutri cious diet consisting of milk, fish, eggs, fresh meat and the free use of fruit Iron is useful when the patient is pale and bloodless. Warm clothing and bathing is of the greatest importance. HOW A CALCULUS MAY DECIDE THE FATE OP A NATION. During the late French and Germ war Louis Napoleon was suffering with chalky calculus in the bladder and was treated with alkalies instead of mineral acids, which caused the rapid increase of the calculus and he grew worse very fast while In England where the water was hard. He was given chloroform and several drachms of chalky calcu lus removed from the bladder, and he died from the effect of the operation. Dr. Murray made the post mortem examination and observes that If he had been properly treated and used soft water he might have again sat on the throne of France. The case of Napoleon is a very instructive one, for people are constantly taking kidney remedies and are just as likely to take the wrong remedy as the right one and soon find themselves in the same con dition as Napoleon. I fear that many physicians make the same mistake. So we must not wonder that people only live out one-half their days. CALCULUS ON THE TEETH. Calculus on the teeth takes place under the same conditions that it does in the kidneys and bladder, and the same remedies that keep calculus solu- able in the kidney or bladder will pre vent it from accumulating on the teeth. Sir Henry Thompson observes that in about three-fourths of the cases calcu lus is owing to constitutional causes, so that we may safely infer that in seven-ty-fivo per cent of oases where calculus is seen on the teeth there is danger of kidney or urinary disease. About twenty-five per cent depend on local causes and vitiated secretion. When the fluids of the mouth are normal tho teeth keep clean. The subllnqual ducts open under the tip of the tongue and the calculus is formed by the pre cipitation of the earthy material that held in solution In the saliva and the f rcn under teeth are lout first . As the d ! , tirogmwe the gums rvorde from the . ck of the teeth so that the gums are tender and sore, bleeding at the lif htet touch. At length they look purple and th patient ha the land scurvy or the scorbutic diathesis.

The tongue Is foul and coated, with an unpleasant taste in the mouth in the morning, dryness of the mouth, constipation with morning headaches, chilliness with cold feet and hands are frequent attendants. EARLY STAGES OP CALCULUS -ON THI TEETH. The above cut shows tho disease In its early stages, when it can be cured in a week. First the teeth should be cleaned and some constitutional reme dies given adapted to the case. Locally the detersive tooth powder or peroxide of hydrogen will cure tho disease very rapidly and prevent disease of the kid ney and bladder which are so fatal, and come on so insidious and unsuspected. CALCULUS ON THE TEETH AND DISEASE OP THE GUMS. The above cut shows the gums eaten away, the teeth loose and three nearly ready to fall out The breath is more or less foetid, and the odor very offensive, so that in warm weather the flies gather around the patient and dive into the mouth at every opportunity. Four of the teeth are so far gone that it would be impossible to savs them. BRIQGS' DISEASE OR PYORRHOEA, TO UACCONIST TEETH. The above cut shows teeth turned black and just ready to fall out from ex tensive disease of the gums and sockets of the teeth. Calculus accumulates on them and should be removed. The breath is horrible. The blood and liv er are generally .in a bad state, with black calculus and foul breath. Pus constantly oozes out from betweon the gums to be mixed with the food and swallowed at every meal. This form of disease Is generally found in those who have sufferad with syphilis and have been treated with mercury to excess. They have generally smoked and used tobacco to excess and the nicotine colors the calculus black. The blood poison and mercury have done their work. The tobacco has paralyzed nutrition and the teeth be come dead and fall out There are fre quently other complications, such as diseased eyes, caries of the bone, perfo rations through the palate, spinal and hip diseases, extensive sores on the legs below the knees and premature old age. Rather a bad complication of diseases. The teeth may be saved with proper treatment in the early stages of the disease; but the great majority of pa tients do not apply to us until it is too late, and the teeth are doomed to go like the patient in the last stages of consumption, it is only a question of time. Artificial teeth will Da tne best thing, but the jaws will continue to ab sorb and the plate get loose and need working over once in two or three years. The treatment In such cases must be alterative and tonic. Special atten tion must be given to restoring the bones to their normal condition. But we have not spnee to debate the treat ment in each case, but recommend early attention in every case. Ia conclusion we can only add that when any of the foregoing symptoms appear, 11 preventive treatment is sought early, tho teeth may be saved and the patient may escaiw disease oi the klnueysand bladder which come on like the midnight assaseln while wears asleep and unsuspected.

In deed they ire doing so for they are se curing control in the same way of the timber and iron lands. When tbey have secured possesion of the timber and iron Industries we see no obstacles which they cannot unjr the present aystem over come to theu16urlng possession of the wheat fields and theSvjon fields.

Ited only by the ability of the people to pay? Will some earnest student of the problem answer that question, for we con fess we cannot! Some of our readers have thought the Voice was unduly radi cal and unduly swayed by popular clamor, In advocating the public ownership of the railroads. But as surely ai God lives and humanity suffers we can see no alter native to that in the not-distant future but ownerslp of the public by the rail roads. The Industrial future of the coun try is most fatefully wrapped up in this question. Motley tells as that the Dutch republlo was overthrown by the rsnld consolidation of wealth In the hands of a few corporations, which became morn powerful thau the government Itself. Th American republic is no mora exempt from physical and moral law than the Dutch republic was. . Already there are state legislatures that are little elss than puppets in the hands ol railroad corporations. 'It Is a condition, not a theory, that confronts u,' and as surely as cause precedes effect and effect fol lows cause, there must ooms a change in the relations betwen the public and the railroads or a radical change In the re public." , f How to Crush a Strik.'? ( About ten dayi ago the company con trolling the street railway systems of St, Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., demanded that the employes of the company sign a contract, one of the conditions of which tonally liable for ail damages to persons or property. The men were ordered to either sign the contract or quit the ser vice of the company. Not , one of tne army of men employed in the two cities signed the contract Satdrday night the men held a meeting which lasted until 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and decided to quit their situations. Coniequent upon thlt action not a car was moved for ten hour Sunday. Then Mayor Eustice of Minneapolis took a hand, and through his diplomacy the company was induced to withdraw its mandate. Then the men went back to work, This is valuable as showing to what lengths capitalists will go in their arrogance. Their success in beating down the wages of their em ployes and loading them with conditions that make them worse slaves than was the negro in the south forty years ago, has emboldened them to that extent that tbey come out plainly and say: "You can work for me if you will take what 1 choose to dole out to you, and if you will guarantee me against loss by accident or otherwise, or you can starve." It is a wonder that these outraged and insulted men did not rise and tear up every inch ef the track owned by the company, and the fact that they did not deal sum marily with the men who put the insult upon them it pretty good evidence that the employes had a higher sense of com mon decency and human justice than had their employers. That they forbore when forbearance had passed the virtue line is both noteworthy and com rnendable and marks a distinct era in the development of the labor movement' A practical man of sense, such as Mayor Eustlt showed himself to be, is worth more than a thousand homilies on law and order and ten thousand Pinkertona in tuch an emergency.
