IMT'Iit'Iikhia - - A physician of distinguished ability gi es us the following facts concerning this u uclt dreaded disease : ]. In its natiir . it is not a local affection as is usually siij cseil, but constitutional, pervading t lie bio d of the whole system be-, fore it makes its mjicarauco in any part; it is of a nature k ndrod to erysipelas, and though epideuiica , is not, strictly speaking, infectious. '1. Its most ma .ifest sy mptom is u false membrane, of a .bile e dor, which forms upon and around be tonsils, near the palate, and which thicl ens and extends.* unless checked, until tli patient dies from suffocation. This false uembrane is, however, not confined to tho t: rout, but may sometimes be seen upon the hand, or arm, or any other , plaee where thesl iu hue been removed. ' | 3. Among the cautious to be observed are [ the following: Avoid all medicines and modes of treatment which shall exhaust the strength, and be careful not to injure the skin by blisters or counter irritants, particularly in the neighborhood of the throat4. To effect its cure, aim to restore as rapidly and effectually as possible, the patient's waning strength. For this purpose, let the diot be of the most'nutritious character?chicken soup, beef tea, etc., givo freely of egg-nogg, made of good whiskey, or use the stimulant in any other way that will combine nourishment with stimulation. Add to the general strength by the use of mineral tonics, of which none is better than muriate of iron, which may be administered as largely as ten drops at a dose, every three hours, c . on o,li,l? "Uotwcen the doses of iron. give from five to fifteen grains of chlorate (not chloride) of potash or soda. The chlo ride of soda may bo used as an antiseptic gargle but the best gargle is common salt. If the diseaso gives signs of periodicity, by regular remissions and accessions, then bring to your aid the great anti-periodic, quinine. Life Insurance Decision.?The following important decision was recently rendered by the Circuit Court of the Cnited States for the Western Pis'rict of Tennessee: Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Tennessee.?W. E. Tail et al, Heirs of Doctor Samuel Bond, deceased, vs. New York Life Insurance Company. Commons. J. A policy of insurance which indemnifies a public enemy against loss in time of war is unlawful; and where entered into before hostilities, is abrogated when they occur. The relations it establishes are illegal between , belligerents. Where a life policy providos that it shall be void upon the non-payment of premiums J within the time prescribed, such payment is a condition precedent; time is of the essence of the contract, and there can be no recovery if punctual payment is omitted. When the performance of a condition pre- , cedent becomes unlawful, or by the act of God, impossible, this will nut authorize a recovery upon the contract without performance. Such cascare distinguished from those'iu which subsequent impossibility and illegality are relied upon us a defence. A contract of insurance, the continuance of which depends upon the election and acts of the insured, is not like a debt, the obligation of which is absolute, and which is sus. pended only hy war. The relations between the members of a corporation fur mutual insurance present all the evils and arc dissolved by war for the same reasons as those between ordinary co-part ners. The reasons for the dissolution of executory contracts by war arc not ::|onp that such contracts involve inter-communion across the ] hostile line, or that that they relate to pro perty liable to capture; but more especially because their execution increases the :esources of the enemy. The Court of Kquity has no authority ! decree the specific performance of an ugrccment in favor of a party who has failed to perform a condition which is of the essence [>f the contract, although prevented by its! becoming subsequently illegal or impossible by act of (loij. A Court of Equity will not relieve a party i from the effect of omitting to perform an act, although the omission was caused by subsequent illegality or impossibility arising i from the a,it of God, where such act was | merely optional, and the other party had no ( right to enforce its performance. The agency of one representing an insurance company, authorized to receive premiums and renew policies, becomes1 unlawful when the insured and insurer become pqbljo onetnied.
