" With proper tre«tment and care taken in time, there is no reaaon why the znott •erere caae ol cholera infanlam or loinmer eomplaint in yoon^ children ihoold not be â- peedUy and ed;:ctively cored. This statement wa« made by a promi- nent physician of this city, who is at the head of (he department of children's diaeskses in one of New York's largest medi- cal inatitations, to a reporter of ^eEvenir^ WorU. For ten yean in charge of the children's department of the lari^eet dispensary in town, and later as an instractor aod pro- taaor, he has made the (object a profoond itady, and an acooont of some of the re- â- ulta of bis wide experience and research, which he gave to the reporter, are as fall of interest to the public ss to the medical pro- iMaioQ, in which he is regarded as an Mikhority in his specialty. As every one knows, cholera infantam is the soaroe of great mortality amoog chil- dien, greater even than from all other eaaaee combined, especially in the large ottiea. Unless the disease can be arretted by medicinal treatment before it has leached a certain stage, children attacked by iC were generally give.n up as hopeless Nothing coald save them. It was This is the result of fsUicg to treat the diaease in the right manner, and of er- zooeoas views that have prevailed ss to its immediate caase. It has commonly been â- apposed that becaose the greatest mor- telity from the disease occurred dariEg the bot months of Joly and August the prostraticg edeci of' the heat upon the feeble infants was tbo direct cause. For that rtas.^n they have been wrapped in red flannel bandages and d^ed with medicines until it is a wonder that any of them tver got well. This theory, however, has been pretty thoroogbly exploded by the anthoriiy which has been iiact«d. By a series cf elaborate jharls, showing the variations in tempi^ratare for the sum- mer mouths for a period of ten years from 1878 to 1*5* co'jipared with the death rate bom cholera infantum compiled by himself from the records of the Bureau of Vital Statistics for the same period, he proves that while the death rate follows the teoiperature to a large extent it has fre- qoenily been much larger than the average in very oool eeasons, and. vice versa, in the hottest weather a lower death rate is found. The heal is. therefore, only an indireot cause of the cisease. The real cause is the decomposition in the cbild's stomach of the food wtii^h it is given, the great msjority ol the victims being brought up on the bo*Ue. Scientists know that milk will absorb germs and bacteria dealing in the air much more readily than water, and that by the time milk reacbt^ the city and is given to the babies it is tilled with these destructive germs of disease. That is what oaoscs all the trouble. The entire digestive apparatus gets out of order. Food remains in the stomach sometime* for days withont being digested, and whatever is given to the child to uonrish it only aggra- vates the trouble. Drugs are given to kill these germs, but it takes more medicine to destroy them than it does to kill the child. •nd as for chalk mixtures baoteria enjoy no better diet. They ^row and flourish on it. What, then, is the remedy for what has formerly, in nine cases out of ten. proved a fatal disess« ? It is what theprofeasoroallsthemechani- eal treatment. He simply washes out the children's stomachs witb lukewarm water, whioh at onoe gel* rid of the cause of the illness by removing the decomposed and indigestible matter. It is a sort of laundry ing process that is â- imple but effective, as the result of a single year's experieooe at the olinio will show. Uf nearly five hundred cases treated daring the last year and a halt by this method omly three deaths occurred, and sinoe the beginning of the hot season this year in not a siuiile oaae has it been unsuooessful. Children have been brought to the clinic in the \-ery last stages of the disease, where the eyes were fixed and glassy, the noee pinched, the face drawn, and everv indioa- laon of the near approach of coma. After the brain is affected and coma is complete there is no way of saving life. The most remarkable thing about the treatment is that as soon as the washing bedius the child at onc« revives, and when it is over ia falls into a natural sleep, and then it is only a question of proper oare when it will completely recover. The prooees is applied on the oypbon principle. The apparatus consists of a metal receptacle for the warm water, with a gradnaied glass tube in front, showing how miu-h water it conuins, and a long rabber tube attached to the lower aide. In the end of the rubber tube is inserted a riKirt glMS tube, with a stopoook that works bv pressure of the thumb in one end. To the other end is attached a soft, velvet. aye rubber catheter, which forms the ter- mination of the tube. The catheter is passed easily down tte throat of the child to the stoniaoh, when the stopcock is pressed and the warm water from the reoeptable above flows through until the stomach it full. Then the tube is detachevi and the outer end held down, when the water will flow in the oppi'>sito direction. The operation has been performed for many years as a remedy for dyspepsia, but not until a oomparalively recent date for cholera infantum, especially in this oonntry. Piof. Epstein, of Prague, .\astria, was the firtt to recommend it, in IS^. For the l^ast few years the disinfection of the stomach and intestines and their con- tanis has been attempted by meant of drags. Naphtholin, benisoate and salicy lata of soda have been tried and reoom- mended. All of those remedies may be wall aaongh, but they often fail, if they are re- tained, which generally doea not occur as lon)( as nausea is present. These drugs do not check the vomiting. They can only destroy a very small portion of the germs of deoompoeition, as they are hardly strong enoo^b and as they only reach the lower pyloric end of the stomach; while the germs and the tyrotoxioon may adhere in safety to the upper and lateral walls of the organ witboot tver ccmirg in contact with the antiseptics sect after them. It is very different with stomach wash- ing. The whole stomach is fliled with warm water : the latter is churned and splashed sU over its walls by the move- ments cf the child iii necessary brcu^ht about by ihakicg the baby), and every particle of obccxicos mslentl, whether solid or fluid, whether microbe or chemical poison, ia immediately drowned in thedoid and vithin a few seconds carried oat of the body, where it can do no more harm. Vcmiting and nausea have ceased once t:.d for all. The Prcfesscr, however, is a firm be- liever in preventive measures, and thinks that the real way to diminish the ternble mortaUty among the children from this cause is by the spread of infonaaiion among the parents as to the hygienic treat- ment of the children and the preparation of their food. Cleanliness, cf course, comes £r«t. Bottle- fed babies ehould never be given cow's milk without previously prenaring it. The germs that it ccLiams are the chief cause of the disease. There is a proceaa called tterilinng milk, which is nothing more nor less than telling it acd then keeping it air ti^hl. Boiling will destroy all the germs. Among ignorant people not even the boiling cf the milk is thought of by the mother, but the child is permitted to drink the milk jost as it comes from the can. ChiHren are alec given all torts of things which are net good fur them by ignorant parents, which will contribute to bring on summer complaint, hot the milk d:£culty IS the chief one. A ouricus fact has be«n brought out by the charts and tables, already mentioned, prepared by the profesfcr. which he used in his democsiraiions in the clinic- It is that warm weather mot hoti, either dry or moist, thowicg a minimum daily tempera- ture of nc: less than 60 deicrtes F . biings on the epidemic spp^earance of cholera in- fantum invariably in every year, irre- spective of the height of the matimnm temperature, as in the latter part of June of nearly every year. Again, suu-mer complaint loses its epi- demic character as soon as the maximum daily temperature remains below H3 degrees F , as in the latter half of October cf nearly every year. It has been s^certained by chemists and analysts that it tt^juires a continuous temperatore of at least 60 degrees F. to produce germs and bacteria in oow s milk and to develop organisms of decomposition. Here is the real eiplantticn of the ap- parent effect of hot weaher upon children in developing summer complaint. The heat is really responsible for the disease, bat only indirectly, in affecting the only food which very young children and infants can take. Nothing could b* plainer or simpler than this. Another very curious fact is that in the mortality tables prepared the death rate from cholera infantum in New York city has for every year been shown to be just twice as great in July as in August. Not long tgo when this fact was placed before a large body of medical mei'.. it excited a great deal of surprise, for every one supposed that the cisease was more pre- valent in August than in July, as the weather then was csually more oppressive. Even Dr. John T. Sagle, Reguter of Vital Statistics, was under the impre<saion that this was the case until he was shown the ngures »hich had been compiled from the records of his own offic«. No one oould explain v^hy this shoold be so, though several very profound opinions were advanced by member* of the proieesion preeent. When it was suggested by the compiler of the figures that »o many children died in July that there were not enough left to keep op the same death rats in August. several of the scientists present rvcalled the time- honored cheetnnt about Coinmbus and the egg. -.Y.l'.

In India lady aoctort are now familiar to uj. and althou^ as tm they may have been somewhat ridiculed by thoee who could not tppreciate their valoe, they are fast making their presence felt for good in almost every corner d the land. So far as the native women of the ocontrr are con- cerned it is gratifying to note that their sucoees in all branches cf college edocaticn is progressing to ibe entire satisfact.on of their professors. Not only have they proved themselves to be generally well fitted for the ardoons duties attendant on medical studies, bot they have in torn* cases succeeded beyccd all ordinar. ex- pectation. Bcmbay, Madras, the North- west Provinces and the Pzcjaub all return fiatiering reports on the sub;ect, and when we ity that a class of female students can average ever TOO niarki out of 1,000 in a lorgical examicsiion. as we hear has recently been the oas^, little can be said against their power or ikill or aptitude for gaining knowledge in one of the most important branches in the medical pro- fession . Indeed, it appears not unlikely that women m India may prcve themselves by no means inferior to men in most branches of the practice cf medicine, ii the progress made by native females in hospi- tal work may be taken ss a criterion. In many cases they have proven ihsmtelves superior to Ibe male students in coUsge ex- aminations, and in no wty behind tbrai in application, power of reasc::i3g and resource.

" Those people in this vicinity who are in any way interested in the cultivmiion of tlowert or fruit, and who, to protect the same, are in the habit of destroying that little member of the entomological family known as the ladybug, vedolia cardinalis, makes serious mistake. 1 his gaily deco- rated little insect is one cf man's best friends in that its sole mission is to destroy a destroyer. The little green lice that have Oeen such a pest to vegetation this year that have prevented iboasandsof bushels of wheat from ripening, that have infested the rose bash and the apple tree, the tenoei house plant and the stardy oak, is the lady. bog's special prey. This little insect has become so valuable to the horticoltarists of California io consuming the oottony cnsh- ion scale that thsy have gone to cultivating them. One man in Los Angeles covered five of his orange trees suffering from the scale with tents, and turned in among them some T,0OO lady-bugs that he had obtained from the lady-bug breeding grounds. The effect was almost magical. The scales dis- appeared like frost under a warm spring sun.
