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.
