The Role of Fever In^^BWEK Hon of From ao address by D.. urofessor of thenii>S^B98ggP Jefferson Medical Colle^^^^^^Kidelphia, we extract tb^^^^Hhig important ideas concern i^^^^role played by fever in disease. As long ago as the time o( : Hippocrates, he expressed the belief that fever was a protective process. Many others, more or less remote from liovn hi< vi/ill'J C(1 that we lind the proessional mind first regarding the fever as salutary, then as an annoying symptom to be regretted, aud, very recently, as a symptom to be controlled as a crying evil. Notwithstanding the fact that the usefulness of fever has been recognized iu the pafct, it is my intention to briny forward additional evidence in support of this view, and against the idea that fever is harmful; or, iu other words, to show, by the introduction of the newer evidence produced in receut years by bacteriological and other research,that fever is not an unmitigated evil, and that when we reduce fever ' by the use of drugs, we deprive the body of a therapeutic measuse devised by nature for the protection of the individual. It is but a few months siuce most of us were reduciug all fever by the use of antipyretic drugs. There is au immense amount of evidence to show that fever is harmful, il the temperatvre really becomes high (lOSOto 1100F.); but there is almost no evidence that it is harmful below this point, it having been proved that mucn, if not all, the morbid changes in structure thought to be due to the fevrr are reall\* produced by germs or their toxins, eveu if 110 rise of temperature has occured. Experiments by Welch and others have shown that auinials can bear very high, artitically induced temperatures, provided no infectious processes be present to weaken the organism. Is fever protective agaist infection? This belief seems to besanctioned by the following facts: First?Fever is a condition developing in healthy animals as soon as they undertake to resist infectiou; nature would hardly devise a plan for vital resistance handicapped by such an important phenomenon, if it were useless in itself. A >%S?vtnK? ntkwiVt l?oira t*_ oeuuuu?r\iiimais nuivu urt*ciwvi? sufficiently large doses of germs to cause death, ofteu develop very little fever, or, iu other words, are so overwhelmed that the body can uot develop resisting' measures. Third?Auimals receiviDg smaller does speedily develop fever aud recover ; but if the same dose be giveu, and fever prevented by artificial means, they die as promptly as if large doses were used. Loewy aud Richter, after producing fever by puncture of the corpus striatum, found that infection by the Klebs-LoetHer bacillus, the pneumococcus, the coccus of erysipelas aud the micro-orgauism of chicken cholera, fuileri tn <>nii*p itpjith si? snmi as iisuhL even though a hundred times the ordinary fatal dose was iujected ; aud when three times the fatal do9e ot pneumoccocci was injected, the animals with the highest temperature servived. Waguer found that wben chickens ' were infected with anthrax bacilli their temperature rose several degrees and remained tbere for several days. At theeud of that time, no bacilli could be found in their tissues. If the their chickens were keep cool artificially, they promptly died. Similar results ensued when the temperature was reduced by antipyrm, five out of six of the ihfected chickens dyinjr. Pasteur also records that fact that chickens infected by anthrax survive, but if cooled they promptly succumb. Thus fever in some way aids the body in acquiring immunity by the formation of anti-toxin. The functional activity of all the organs is increased by the rise of temperature, and thus the various methods adopted by nature for the protection of the body against infection are stimulated to the uttermost. Many years ago it was the effort to leu uuc levers uy ui?piiuieaia anu diuresis, and they ofteu succeeded in abortiug febrile movement by measures too often to-day considered useless. The trouble, if preventable, was set aside; and if not, its true course and the object of its existence were not masked by powerful drugs. Unfortunately for the profession, it was discovered that digtails sometimes reduced fever, (Quinine soon took a valued place as an antipyretic. Some tbing stronger was required, and the nearness of the period of ridiculous fear of exposure to cold in fevers excluded cold applications from the therapy of such cases. Salicylic acid was therefore introduced aud from this it was but a step to the common autipyretics of to-day. There is, however, abundant evidence to prove that the older methods of reducing fever by the production of sweating aud increased glandular secretion had a far more rational basis tbau has the employment of antipyretic drugs; further, that antipyretic drugs in reducing fever decrease the vital resistance of the patient, aud that the use of the cold bath or cold sponging as employed to-day does good, not so much oy the reduction of temperature as by increasing glandular and other vital activities. The natural thought is that if antipyrexia is harmful when obtained by druga, it is also harmful when obtained by cold baths, but clinical results prove the contrary. I have long felt that the cold bath did more than to abstract heat, aud I veuture to advance the idea that it also permits the tissues to destroy the poison of the disease by oxidation or allied processes. The cold bath, therefore, has a physiological action far more important than the withdrawl of heat; '; it really puts the system in the best y condition to resist disease. My views may therefore be summed up as follows : 1. Moderate fever has been proved to be in itself harmless. Hyperpyrexia is of itself harmless. 2. Moderate fever has a useful function to perform In the body in the presence of an infection. 3. Cold baths do good, not by the mere abstraction of heat alone, but by increasing metabolism aud the rapidity of all vital processes. 4. The use of antipyretic drugs is contraiudicated in all infections diseases. The most stubborn cases of neuralgia are apt to yield to a hot water treat.. ment. Wherever the pain is located, there a hot water bag should be applied the suffering part should be wrapped in a blanket; and the unfortunate patient should be put to bed and covered with more blankets, and induced tc drink at least three cups of water as hot as the palate can stand. This treatment may seem severe, but it 1:; sure to bring relief. For neuralgia, apply hot, dry flannels, as hot as can be borne. aS&tVi: * w Serve JIhiii nn<! Ilaro'i es Poston, of Savage, S. I^BTtirms what has been sam oy u la ly n^Sumter as "to the virtues of borax for, | the protection of meat from theattacksj . of tlies, etc. Having noticed, lie savs, j ;Mr. Barrett's statement of his troubles j j on that score he submits the following i approved recipe for the information ofi .i all concerned : | "When the meat is ready to hauig ; up, after it been salted, wash off in i 11 hot water and set on the edge to dry. j ' When it is about dry apply a small:' quantity of pulverized borax by rub-i 1 bing it on with the haudorsprinkling it from a common pepper box or 1 through aseive, distributing it evenly over the fleshy surface and the stem of 1 the ham and shoulder. Smoke as long ; as desired, but a very little smoking ' will suffice. I have tried this plan for two years, and my father has employed I if mnnli lntw.ui' Vn l>oirv huir vlcitmpr I II UIUVU IVUbVl . * , V, 11M1.J I I -; worm or fly will touch meat that has ' the borax on it." A South Carolina correspondent of The Southern Cultivator varies the ; plan by usiuj* the borax in solution. | He directs that the meat be kept in salt six week ;.then taken out and allowed to drip for live minutes, and adds: "Makea strong solution of bo1 rax water, dip the meat in for one minute, haugupand smoke if desired. Farmers hereabout use this method. ! and are never troubled with skippers." Whether the solution should be hot or 1 cold, audjust how "strong" it should be, is not stated. The important point, however, is that this witness confirms the testimony of our fair Sumter cor' rpunnnrienf and of Mr. Postou that ' t>orax affords au effective aud unfailing protection to the meat from the attacks of winged or legless marauders. We need not, therefore, print any ' further recipes on the subject. St. Paul's Hock. Almost at the very centre of the Atlantic Ocean?only a trille north of the equator and about half-way between South America and Africa?is a submarine mountain, so high tbat,iu spite of the immense depth of the sea, it thrusts its peak seventy feet above the waves.

Treacherous currents make navigation iu the vicinity of these rocks dangerous.

At that hour the officer went on deck and looked to the west- i ward?nothing but au expanse of heaving sea. He chanced to turn, and ' there, live miles to the eastward were ( ?the Hocks.
