Last Saturday evening the Thompson Street Poker club held its first regular meeting of the season. The Rev, Mr. Thankful Smith, who disappeared from mortal gaze last May with other trustees ot a Hoboken picnic, was en- thustastically welcomed and called to the chair. He said he had found catfishing in the Adiron- dacks all that could be desired, and with this explanation of his absence proceeded to count out the chips. The hospitalities of the elub had been extended to Mr. Gus Johnson's uncle, Who had recently held a lucky sixteenth in the Havana, but {t was gloomily explained that as that magnate had visited the Zion's festival early in the day it would be necessary to send @shutter or other conveyance for him, and Probably provide him with a bed until’ mid- night at least. There being a by-law in the con- stitution, made at the instance of the landlord nd the roundsman who frequented the vicin- y, that the club should adjourn at 1 a, m. pre- cisely, the visit of Mr, Johnson’s opulent rela- lve Was reluctantly postponed and the mem- bers cut for deal. Prof. Brick started the club by. taking a pot. The Secretary mgde a minute of the achieve- ment, and the PrMfessor bozged that he might be allowed to withdraw his resignation, which had been under consideration since March. The game then proceeded, with a steady two-pair Streak favoring Mr. Cyanide Whiftles and i se- ries of bobtalls rapidly demoralizing the cbair, when the door softly opened and a whitfof Peich aay, and Mr. Tooter Williams entered to- gether His ‘appearance was such as to dazzle Mr. Johnson and make even the Elder Jubliee Au- derson proud to be able to bow to him; but the Rev.

Then he gave way tow furious riot of chips, which frightened Mr. Whiffle’s three Kings out of the country. : “Whadjer playin’?” inquired Mr. Williams, languidly comparing his brilliant timekeeper with the club clock. « “Pokah,” said the Rev.

Mr. Williams pocketed the watch, thought- fully picked his eth for a tew minutes, blew a contemplative cloud toward the ceiling, and then drew out a yellow pocketbook, ostensibly to polish the silver initlals glittering in the corner, “Whad am de limmiek?" he inquired sweetly. “De limmick,” replied the Rev.

Mr. Williams eemed to hesitate about coming in, and afte moment of breathle: excitement Mr. Gus.

A Rapidly Increasing Demand for it— What it Effects. From the New York Tribune. The use of cocaine as an anethettc and & therapeutic has been taken up rapidly by the medical profession and its application has been made in a remarkable variety of forms of dis- ease. Dr. Knapp, professor of ophthalmology in the medical department of the university of the city of New York, in a recent work “On Cocaine and its Use in Oph- thalmic and General Surgery,” says “No modern remedy has been received by the profession with such general enthusia#, none has become so rapidly popular, and scarcely any one has shown so extensive a field of useful ap- plication aa cocaine.” Tho author states his elief that its properties will be the subject of sclentific researches and chemical observations all over the globe for many years to come. Dr. Koler’s original paper on the subject was read before the Medical Society of Vienna in October, 1884, and was devoted principally to @ consideration of the use of cocaine 1n an- wsthetizing the eye. Two weeks before this: per was published. the attention of oculists in this country was attracted to the subject through a communication sent to The Medical Record by a physician of this city who had beard the paper read. Cocaine was at once put into use in the treat- ment of varlous diseases of the eye. Experiments were rapidly made on the effect of cocaine a8 an anmsthetic on other mem- branes, in the ear, the mouth, the nose, the trachea and the latynx. learned that the tongue and the soit palate became numbed h Its use elther ag a spray or when applied by a soft brush; the faculty of taste was tem- porarily destroyed by the drug, and also the sense of smell. The spraying of the larynx, in case of bronchitis, allayed irritation and gave relief, Cocaine was applied in, probing the tear duets, in removing tumors and in-growin toenails,in earache,throat troubles,the remov: of bullets and the removal of superfluous hairs trom the upper lip of a female patient, in den- tal surgery, In excisions, neuralgia, hypoder- mie injections for pain and headache through treatment of the eyes. All these uses Were discovered and applied by American practitioners within two months, that is, up to mber 24, 1884. The English physicians were “coot at first, but more appre- clative afterward,” says Dr. Knapp, and they “were waked up to the remarkable advantage of a new emedy fully six weeks later than their American brethren, whereas * * * they it to have been two weeks before them.” eneral advantages of the use of the drug ere found to be that its action was transient and it did away with reflex excitability in the patient. Its useful felds were found to be in opthalmology, otology rhinology, layrngology and pharyngology, genito-urinary surgery, gynecology and general surgery. A well-known physician of this city who Probably uses as much cocaine as any other practitioner here—$50 or $60 worth a mouth— considers itone of the most, if not the most, valuable drug as a local therapuetic agent. He has experimented largely in the upper airpassages. In the nasal passages the drug Is applied on a small pledget of cotton saturated with the solution. A bent probe is employed in applying the iedaet, to the pharynx, The highest value of the drug seems bein its use in the larynx, which is apt to ose spasmodical! soon as touched. ‘The secret of the value of the cocaine In its application to the mucous surfaces Is that it penetrates the exterior coat of the membrane and produces rigid contraction of the muscular fibers, causing thereby a striking diminution of the caliber of the blood-vessels themselves. * One important disease which cocaine has been found to reach, in consequence of the property Just stated, is hay fever. The diseased condition of the mucous membrane of the nose in @ pronounced case of hay fever is marked with a swelling of the veins and blood vessels generally, ‘This is due to a lack of action of the nerves Of the coats of the mucous membrane. ‘oealne causes ® contraction of the muscular coat, thereby expelling the blood, while the ex- treme dilation does not return. In several mild ses Of this kind, complete relief has been ob- tained by the use of the drug. Cases of bron- chitis have been cured, the explanation lying in the action of the drug in “controlling the blood supply, diminishing the caliber of the blood-vessels, and thereby lessening the mucous seeretion and cell-proliferation.” A case of spas modic asthma has been successfully treated. The physician referred to above says that he considers that there Is hardly a local nt 80 valuable or so sure in its action as cocaine. He has been unable to find that the action of the drug is more than local, and he has observed no reaction following its local use. ‘There is no danger of a “cocaine habit” being formed, in his opinion, ——__+e+_____ Japan To-day. EX-MINISTER BINGHAM’S ACCOUNT OF THE CON- DITION OF AFFAIRS IN THAT EMPIRE, From the San Francisco Chronicle, After an almost unbroken residence in Japan for nearly thirteen years, John A. Bingham, of Ohio, ex-minister for the United States to the imperial court at Tokio, has arrived in San Francisco on: his wey home. He has been ro- Meved by Minister Hubbard, Mr. Bingham’s last duty in Japan being to induct bis snecessor into bis office and present him to the emperor. Px-Minister Bingham arrived by the ilo de Janeiro, and sp e most freely and entertain- ingly on a varlety of Japanese toples. “Japan's progress,” suid the ex-minister, “has been simply marvelous. When the present emperor came to the throne sixteen years ago the country was governed and ground down by the Daimlos, who were nothing more nor less thun feudal lords, ruling their serfs with rods of iron, and imposing on them a military duty which they turned to quarrelsome and robbing account. Atone blow the emperor swept away lids, Oriental counterpart of European ‘medi- cevalism, and Japan leaped at a bound from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. iow was this wonder brought about?” ‘shall make the same answer to you, sir, that I have before made to a similar question," lied the ex-minister. “It was accomplished because the people believe that the emperor is Just what his name signifies, ‘Tenno,’ the ‘Son of heaven.’ All the traditions of the country point to this, the beliefs of the people went that way, the astonishing wisdom of the youth —he was but sixteen at the time of his succes- slon—confirmed the belief, and against what he did and ordered there {s'no resistance. Thus the Tenno was able to accomplish impossibill- ties, or what would be impossibilliies with ans other monarch. At present the Japanese are enjoying the fruits of the néw order ot things, and as ‘ope example of the unusual blessings which the people enjoy I may mention this, that in the island of Nippon alone, with an area freaier. and @ population equal to that of Eng- land, there are more small landholders than theré ure in the little, tight little ‘right hen Japan isa free countr; “Yes, and no,” was the response. “The peo- ple enjoy many of the blessings of free men, but the empire itselfis largely under foreign control, Three ropenn states, England, France and Holland, but England first and principally, are the masters of Japan's foreign policy, ‘To'an extent of which this country has Searcely an idea, Japan 1s ruled by Europe. The emperor is bound down by treaties by which England gains almost everything ant Jupan gains almost nothing, With a privy council that feels the weight of the European finger in everything it does, constantly men- aced by the gunboat policy, and with customs duties so minimized that they are not enough to pay the expenses of the department, Japan is by no means free, and is not likely ‘to be 80 without a Httle Ma Bites aid from’ us. Some time or other the United States will see the riches that lie in Japan; will see, for instance that together they might rule the silk market of the world. It 1s true our commerce with Japan has risen from thousands, of dollars to millions, but the existing trade Is nothing to what it should be—is only an indication of what it might be. The fact 1s, the commerce of the Pacific is not yet appreciated by the American people, and, inark my words, some fine year, when Europe is at peace and is rolling in rich harvests, the United States will look longingly to the great countries of the Orient to felleve her of her surplus.” ——~+o+__ Food Adulteration. From the Chicago Herald. ‘There are butter factories in thie city and all over the country callifg themselves “dairies,” island.’” we asked, which never handle a quart of milk and do not make a pound of butter, though their product is valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, ‘There are coffee and spice manulac- turers who pack thousands of pounds of their ground abominations who handle very little coffee and import nosplces at all.
