A MYSTERIOUS AILMENT—CAUSE AND CURE. Ever since the eminent Dr. Dalton discoy- ered color-blindness, the attenton of the scientists to the structure and troubles of the human eye has been doubled, and many. interesting results have followed. ‘The most important revelation yet made in this braneh of medical reseurch, however, was that form- ing the basis of a paper to the New York Academy of Sciences on.the 23d of last month by B. Potiphar Tibbits, 3. A., a young student of medicine at Bellevue Col- lege. For several years it had been noticed that a peculiar and inexplicable eye malady was becoming prevalent among ladies in fashion- able life, giving rise to troubles which were often of an alarmingnature. Like most dau- gerous diseases, it was exceed ingly insidious in its approaches,the victim perceiy- ing no symptoms until she had become a chronic victim. Outwardly, the disease manifested-itself as follows: Suddenly, and without warning, the eyes of the fair sufferer would so lose the. power of sight for several seconds or even minutes as to be totally un- able to recognize a gentleman acquaintance at even the most trivial distances. Simul- taneously there would appear a peculiar rigidity of the spinal column, and a general coldness and lack of mobility in the facial expression; this lamentable condition con- tinuing until the gentleman acquaintance nad sauntered by in a state of cold perspira- tion and incoherence, when her vision would be instantly restored, her spinal inflexibility would vanish, and the austerity of her expres- sion disappear, s0 that the suffering lady would be able to recognize, and most cor- dially smile at and bow to, another gentleman acquaintance a block away and clear across the street. F. To close observers it, was noticeable that the ravayzes of this’ distressing complaint were mainly confined to young ladies of &reat personal beauty, and ‘that plainness of feature usually rendered a girl secure from its approach, “Also was it remarked that the diseisa was not of Jifelong duration, but, beginnmg to manifest itself atiéor so, would reach the climax of its virulence ab 19 or 20, and then gradually subside in the frequency and inte of the paroxysms until the age of 26 0: had been reached, when it generally disappeared altogether. Prof. Dalton, after several years"cluse ob- servation, attributed the phenomena to A VARIETY OF COLOR-BLINDNESS; which, it is well known, is the lack of power in the optic nerve to perceive certain com- plementary colors. “The expression of the sufferer from this new matady,” he said in an admirable paper to the Smithsonian In- stitute, “is certainly not complimentary to the gentleman whom she fails to recognize, and, inducing 2 change of hue upon hjs face, renders him for the time being invisible.” ‘This ingenious explanation, however, did not explain the spinal symptoms already al- luded to, nor the general blankness of the face which usually marked the crisis of the attack, and so, although respected, it served but to give a_new impetus to scientific in- vestigation. In 1873, Prof. Silliman, of Yale, supplemented his brilliant report upon the Enma Mine witha paper to the Boston Ly- ceum, in which he held that the secret of the disease fay in the sudden reversal of certain thermo-electrical currents known to exist in the human body. “It is well known,” he said, “that electrified botiies of opposit polarity act upon each other by induction, developing powerful currents, In mani- festations of So-called disease, it is certain that while the lady is very cold and calm, the gentleman is usually Yery hot and excited—which conditions indicate most clearly the thermo-electric character of the phenomenon. Searching now for the primal cause, we naturally rea: son that the electrical condition of the gen-, tleman must somehow have become of oppo- sit polurity to that of the lady; which fact a close scrutiny into the previous history of the case will determine satisfactorily in nine cases out of ten, As to the patl ological syinptoms, what is more natural than to trace the glittering fixedness of the Jady’s eyes, the rigidity of her spine, and the chilli- ness of her Expression, to the effect of the powerful electric current upon the delicately Sensitive muscles of those parts? ‘The gen- tleman, also, in his sudden redness, and wild ere and air of suppressed exasperation, shows, to my mind, simply the effects of the same powerful thermal development.” This astoundingly clear and philosophical enplanation was received with the utmost delight by savants of every school, Dr, Dal- ton was crushed and forgotten, and the Royal Neurological Society of Berlin conferred Upon Frut. Silliman the lofty degree of Al- pha Sigma Sigma as a slight token of their appreciation. oul, though the so-called disease was thought to be comprehended, no remedy had en discovered, and it gradually spread from city to eity until, in 1876, it was declared epi. demic in nearly every metropolis in the ‘Union, defying all attempts at treatment, Fit nally it prevailed to such an extent that no gentleman who was not absolutei. ly certiin of is polarity eould trust himself so far as to make a move towards his hat upon meetinga lady acquaintance, without first being us- sured by a sunny sthile and graceful ctirva. ture of hersping that their mutual thermo- electric currents were all tight, and that there Was no danger of bis immediate presence bringing on & paroxysm of the inal: Bir. Tibbits’ paper has revolutionized the theories of both the Dalton atid Silliman schools, not only indicating the exact nature of the disease, for disease It is, but : ITS TREATMENT AND CURE. According to his theory the evil is primaril Dsychological, and secondarily electrical, He says: "The gray matter in the jJady’s brain having undergone recent change, ow- ing to the transmission through the nervous ganglions of the eye or ear of some intelli- gence concerning a gentleman, a definit res- olution in his regard is developed, lying dor- mant until opportitnity calls it into action. The intelligence which Muay cause this is so Yatied in ditferent cases that no typical in- stance can be cited. Opportunity being pre- sented by his appearance, the dormant reso- lution springs into vi or, exciting the meduila oblongata, paralyzing the motor muscles of the eye, causing partial opis- a frizidity to the countenance... . . The theory of Prof. Silliman that the body is lly unconscious at the time, owing to the paralysis, Ido not consider correct. In the decadence of the attack, the fair sirfferer is often heard to murmur ‘horrid thing? or some similar expression, showing at least Partial consclousness “of what transpired When the gentleman passed, « ep ¢ electrical phenomena are somewhat obscure. That powerful thermal currents are devel- oped in the gentleman, no doubt by induc- tion, cannot be denied. It is also to be re- marked that gentlemen in possession of ab- normal quantities of metal, and who hence are good conductors, seldom or never excite & paroxysm of the malady in a lady acquaintance, while gentlemen well known to be delightfully: free from metallic incum- brances are exceedingly apt to bring, about the most inarked manitestations of It. Descending now to considerations of treat ment, Mr. ‘Tivbits remarks that, while emul sions prepared from the best theatre-tickets (which are well known tobe powerfulagents), frequently-reveated doses of saccharine nour- ishment, and gentle tri-weekly exercise in a bury, have been known to ward off an at- tack for some time, the certainty of the pre- vention cannot be relied on. On the. con- trary, suspension of the treatment will al- lnost invariably bring on a most aggravated case. z Admitting the extreme difficulty of diag- nosing the lirst stage of tho disease, and the impracticability of administering a. remedy in the crisis of its paroxysm, Mr. Tibbits confesses to discovering ine true’ treatment simply by accident, as follows: A student-at-Bellevue—Mr. Tibbits herein evidently means himself—had for a Jong time been bewildered and — sometimes shocked, at repeated attacks of the malady upon his young lady friends, All varieties of prophylaxis, even the administranon of monogrammed metallic bangles, and daily exercise either in a buggy orat the skatiny tink, had signally failed. One day he ol seryed a young man whose fiancée had been suddenly taken with the disease strike her forcibly between the eyes just at the moment, when the paroxysm was at its hight. The effect was instantaycons. The spine sud- deny became flexible, expression came into the face, and the lady was radically cured, never suffering a relapse.: ‘Tha ‘Bellevue student communicated the news to his fel- Jow-students, aud a series of experiments Was at once, begun, which ‘resulted most marvelously. Half the young ladies resid- ing in the neighborhood of the college disap- peared for a Week or so from public gaze, dealers in raw oysters and arnica did a rush- ing busiuess, and within a fortnisht the dis- ese had ceased to be epidemic in that quar- ter of the city, ‘Theorizing, Mr. Tibbits says that the con- cussion rearranges the cells of the gray mat- ter in the lady’s brain, evolving new ideas,— acts by counter-Irritation on the congested meduila oblongata, relieving the opisthot- onos of the spine, and, exciting the optic ganglions and nerve plexus of the ephenoid, Testores expression to the eye and counte- nance, At the sime tine the heat evolved by the arrested motion sets up counter-ther- mio-electric cu: reits, which perfect the cure. The New Yurk Academy of Sciences has cordially approved of Mr. ‘Tibbits’ theory. and Dr. MeCosh, of Princeton, has ventured to say that, if the remedy is universally ap- plied, the disease, which has ravaged society for so many years, will in a few weeks have disappeared forever. SOCIETY TOPICS. The following dispatch created vo little Amusement in the offices through which it passed: “Charlie and Julia met at S—'s yasterday, quaryeled and parted forever; met again this morning, and parted to meet no more; met again this evening and were mar- ried.” Somne ladies who will show their-rings, and still cannot bring themselves to the vulgarity of wearing them outside. their gloves, have the glove fingers cut at just the right point to let the settings come into view. The apertures are neatly worked round with fine suk. ‘The Parisian Suit Co. has taken the entre- sol floor of Palmer House, from State-st. to ladies’ entrance, ana not the room uf the entresol club as we stated last Sunday. Clara Morris will, when on the stage, speak to the people about her, and give directions to the leader of the orchestra, all in full pos- session of herself, and in the next moment will throw herself into her part, shed real tears, and thrill the hearer, as if “ possessed ”” by quite another person. Mr. H. M. Kinsley has: used Grant’s con- densed coffee exclusively in his restaurant for almost one year. Mr. James B. Rayner, of the firm of Messrs. Buck & Rayner, who has seen the process of condensing the coffee, certifies that it is done siinply with cold water, the result being a pure extract of cof fee containing all the fine delicate aroma nec- essary to a perfect city of cotfee. All that is required to make it is boiling water. Javas, Mochas, and Rios ot choicest grades con- densed daily. And hotel and restaurant men and the public generally are invited to eal! at 30 Randolph street (Central Music-Hall Building) and try the coffee free of charge. Rooms that are arranged after some partic- ular style, and each one differently, have favorit vases, each selected for itsappropriate meaning, in illuminated text or graceful out- line, as over a water-basin is the suggestive phrase: “ Clean hands and a pure heart.” _ itis said by some parties who are experts in such matters that the private residence of Mr. Thomas Lynch, of the frm of IL H. Shufeldt & Co.,.this city, is, without ques- tion, one of the most artistically decorated. residences in the West,—a fact that reflects much credit on the Chicago Carpet Company, who did the work. Mr. Nat. Faxton, of the house decorating department of this estab- lishment, has a reputation second to none in the country, and when all the selections and details are left entirely to him, as was done in this case, there need be no fears as to results, Shell, ivory, and silver combs are shown for the back hair, with side combs to match. ‘The shell combs in amber and in dark hues are best liked in large balls. Ivory combs are carved in flower and arabesque patterns, and also in cameo designs, Silver combs are more slender than others, and are inlaid with gilt. .
