' ! lt is seen, therefore that Napoleon i ad determined to sell Louisiana, arni, indeed, was anxious lu Kell. The negotiations caine to :i rapid close in npire of thc by play and diplomatic reserven of Marbois and Tall>ratid. After the treaty had been signed, Mr. Livingstone said: "We have lived long, but this is the noblest work of our whole lives. Thc treaty which we have just signed has not been obtained by art or dictated by force; equally advantageous to the ; two contracting parties, it will change j va-t solitudes into flourishing dis tricts. From this day the United States take their place among the , powers of the first rank. * * * The instruments which we have just signed will eau.-c no tears to be shed; they prepare ages of happiness for in numerable generations of human crea ; tures. The Mississippi and the Mis souri will see thom succeed one another, and multiply, truly worthy of thc regard and care, of Providence, in . the bosom of equality, under just laws, freed from the errors of super stition and the scourges of bad gov ernment." The first Consul remarked when in formed that the treaty bad bceu con cluded: "This accession of territory strengthens forever the power of the United States; and 1 have just given to Euglaud a maritime rival that will sooner or later humble her pride." This treaty was not ratified by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Uuited States without a limated debate. The Northern, or New Eng land States, opposed the incorpora tion of Louisiana into the Uuited States. Their representatives declar ed that the session of so large a terri tory iu the ?South aud West would be to the advantage of the South, politi cally aud commercially, at thc expense of New England. lt seems that Jefferson conceded thc point raised that the Constitution did not warrant the acquisitiou of foreign territory still less its incor iucorporation iuto the Union. He wrote to Senator Breckinridge of Ken tucky, August 12, 1803: "But I sup pose they (both houses of Cougreau) must then appeal to the nation for au additional article to the Constitution, approving and confirming an act which the nation had not previously authorized. The Constitution has I made no provision for our holding j foreign territory, still less for incor porating foreign nations into our Union The executive, in seizing the ; fugitive occurrence which so much ad I vanees thc good of ih? ir country, have I done an act beyond thc Constitution. I The Legislature, in casting behind I them metaphysical subtleties, and risking themselves, like faithful ser vants, must ratify and pay for it and throw themselves on their country for doing'for them unauthorized what we know they would have done for them selves had thc}' been in a situation to do it." All objections to the possession of Louisiana by the United States, were met by a decided vote in favor of the treaty. Thus the Louisiana purchase, SO fraught with meaning to America and to the world, was ratified, and the Uuited States took up anew the cause of progress. Well might Napoleon j say: "' have signed away an Eui I pire!" ? La Grippe Successfully Treated. "I have jii?t recovered from th > sec ond attack of la grippe this year." says Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of thc Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In thc latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and I think with considera ble success, only being in bed a little over two days against ten days for the former attack. Thc second attack I am satisfied would have been equally us bad as the first but for the use of this remedy as I had to go to bcd in about six hours after being 'struck* with it, while iu the first case I was able to attend to business about two days before getting 'down.' " -For sale-by Hill-Orr Drug Co. CllUligeS of Ohl Ag?'. j In iii?1 slurly nf living fi?rms, from tho protozoa to th? mammal-, und fpun ilit' ppdophytes to tin1 seed ? p'ants, we t'md certain changes md ! conditions characteristic ?-f "ld ag?*. In (he human subject tho principal changes which wc note arc atrophic and degenerative in their nature. The Uiil.-cli s and glamis are the parts more especially involved iii 8? nile atrophy, although other soft parts are affected to .-onie extent. Th? re ir> a di nil n ul ion in size ol' the cellular elements, though without involving any essen till change in their ft mut ure. The muscular librea become small and are saul to take on more uni!'.-runt ?d' size, while the spleen and lymphatic glands undergo a remarkable dim inution in weight and siz?', which in creases as age advances. There ts al-o soun; .shrinking i i volume of the glandular structure* of the digestive tract Where vet lat ha-accumulated it gradually wastes away, lt is said thai atrophy begins lo take place be fore di general ion commences. Pig mentary and fatty infiltrations of the clements are common, as arc also cal careous incrustations. As au instance of the location of this fatty degenera tion, muscular tibr -s, both voluntary and involuntary, might be mentioned, lt is also found ii: blood vessels, cs pi dally thc terminal arteries of the brain, and to some extent ill the nerve cells and in parenchyma of plandular organs. Pigmentary infil tration, it is claimed, is not so fre quently met with as is fatty infiltra tion. In the pineal gland, iu liga ments, cartilages, teudous, and thc walls nf arteries calcareous deposits are common. In the brain aud spinal cord the neuraglia increases until it frequently predominates over the ner vous clement, and there is a tendency to the disposition of amylaceous bodies in these parts. The fatty ele ments of the brain are diminished, while thc water and phosphorus are increased in quantity. Tin: height and weight of the body on account nf these changes are di minished, the body as a whole being shorter and lighter, while its individ ual pirts are also lessened iu size, willi the exception of the heart and kidneys. The heart as n rule is hypertrophied, while the kidneys are at least the size they were in middle life Changes take place in thc skin, rendering it dry aud wrinkled, the hair becomes thin and white, thc teeth drop out, the body bends. These changes induce a general de crease in vigor; the power of the mus cles is lessened; the combustion going on in the body is diminished, as is shown by a decrease in the amount of carbonic-acid gas exhaled. The vital capacity of the lungs is decreased, although there is a quickening of the respiratory rhythm. The pulse rate rises, the secretions are diminished and the quantity of urine is less. Such, briefly stated, are some of the characterisi ics of old age. This period of life is more liable to certain disease, aa those due to arterios clerosis, to certain forms of rheuma tism and gout, and so ou. What produces these changes in the body which drag us down to the grave? Is there no way to retard er prevent them? If we could obviate them even in a measure, how great would be the benefit and with what rejoicing would the earth's inhabi tants hail the discovery, especially those among them who have begun to enter the shadows which gather about life's evening. In the cycle through which a portion of the material world revolves, from the organic to the iuorganic, from the living to the dead and back again to the living, it woald appear that, as old age approaches, the material of the animal body takes on more and more the nature of the inorganic and becomes more and more akin to thc mineral world. When an individual starts in life he appears to be endowed with a certain power or ability to maintain his status iu thc highly organized animal world, and to resist largely the tendency of his tis sues to become in their chemical na ture more nearly akin to thc animal kingdom. What this power consists in I do not know, but it seems to bc greatly impaired by age. Now, if by intro ducing into the body certain agents which might render the excess of accumulating mineral matter more soluble, so that it could bc more easily eliminated from the body, we might get rid of one element that con tributes largely to the deterioration Und degeneration that come with old age. Again, all animal and vegetable tissues when young possess in a large measure this resistance toward the changes that take place in senility. Then, why would it not be a feasible and rational idea for those who are approaching thc period nf life when senile changes bein to make their appearance to take as nourishment only the tissues of young animals and vegetables, and therehy supplement their waning power of resistance with that of those organisms which contain it in abundance? And also, ns we now '.ave a process of treating certain dis eased conditions of different organs of the body with the products of the corresponding organs of animal bodies, (and 1 believe willi sume sneers* ^ ?hy coald Item tit mn lu- derived hy ?id ministering the ipiinto-seio.t' the organs i>f yount! and healthy animals i tu those whose bodies are beginning to show the effects ot' age. and in that way furnish tin in artificially with tin* power to resist the encinaebinents of lime?
