ENTERTAINING THE NEUROLOGICAL SOCIETY WITH HIS EXPERIENCES WITH THE DRUG. From the New York ‘Tribune, November & “Cocaine and the Cocaine Habit” were dis eussed by the New York Neurological society last night, and some interesting phases of the new drug were presented. Dr. William A. Hammond related his personal experience in using it, He stated that he had discarded the fluid extracts and most of the wines of coca because of impurities. One kind of the wine Preparations he did use, because it was pure gave excellent results in cases of spinal Irritation. As @ general tonicit had an excellent effect, especially in overcoming nausea and other results of @ weak stomach; it had a ten- dency to lessen the sensinility of that organ. For a decided effect, however, he used cocaine. Big stories of disuster resulting from its em- ployment have been told, and an account of jow tha South American natives lost their feeth and their minds from chewing coca leaves had been handed down from 1827, but subse- quent reports did not confirm this. Dr. Ham- mond declares that the stories told of the wreck of Dr. Johnson’s mind originated with quacks who were going to cure the “cocaine habit.” Dr. Hammond proceded: Thave taken as many as eighteen grains at a dose by hypodermic injection, dividing it uj over some fifteen minutes. I began my exper! ments on myvelr with one grain at night. I Was rather discouraged by the first dose. Every puncture Ihave made has left an indurated Spot, and Tat one time feared that erysipelas might follow. This may have been due to the condition of my system or the kind of cocaine Tused. ‘The result was pleasant; I felt h Reppier than before on that da; not slee Py But I did until 4a. m., and I had a severe head- he exhilaration was slight—equal to by two or three glasses of cham- sne. he next night I took two grains with, the same result and the additional one of an inor- dinate disposition to write. [Laughter.] I wrote eight or ten pages of fooiscap and thought it was unusually good, the best I had ever writ- ten in tact, So fread it over thenext morning. I found each sentence complete but the ideas were incoherent. The third nightI took three Grains. My energy then turned to talking. I Made speeches to myself; atill I could restrain myself; T ad a splitting’ headache, I stopped for tour or five days and then injected six Fz. three into each arm. I was upset. did not lose my relations to events, but I could not sleep, After three nights I injected ight grainawith the same result, The next night I put In eighteen grains in six injections, two in the legs, two in the thighs and two in the chest. Tam notsure that I was conscious of what I did after that. I was intensely exhila- Fated, I got to bed somehow. When I rose at 7 a.m. things were generally mixed. I had not arranged my papers, etc., us usual. I presume, from uppeurances, I had had_a pretty lively time all by myself. [Laughter.) I naa a head- ache, my heart beat so that I could feel it and hear'it when I raised my arm. But there was one of the horrible effects attributed to cocaine, no disposition toward violence. I ac- quired fp babit. [ left off easily. Dr. Hiinmond said he believed that the drug accelerated the action of the heart, made respi- ration oppressive and induced heudache. Its use, however, could be readily stopped. It gave @ pleasant trill about tour minutes after the injection, He had used it in cases of melan- eolia accompanied by refusu! to talk, and had Set one patieut to talking, who had not stopped at last accounts. It did’ not cure the melan- cholia, however. Dr. Mason, of Brooklyn, controverted Dr. Hummond's views as to the cocaine habit, and cuid that there Was such a habit, one more destructive than the morphine havit; he him- self had had five physicians and two draggists under bis care who were victims of the habit; one of them had become demented. His own experience bore out thut of Dr. Hammond, what the use of cocaine produced insomnia, volubility, headache, unrest and delusions, though none of them was homicidal. ‘The effect was fleeting. — +0 Avoid Lawsuits. An eminent lawyer states that the mercantile and manufacturing communities are less given to appeals to the law now than in former years. It is a tact that the number of such lawsuits does not inerease in proportion to the increase of population. This speaks weli for the good Judgment of our business men. Litigation is an_expensive method of settling business differences. Seldom is either party toa great lawsuit sat- istied with the result. Even to tie one who ob- tains u verdict, the long list of expeuises, vexa- tious delays aud uncertainties more than offsets the fruits of victory. Few men would appeal to the law in the settlement of business dis putes could they realize the possible delays of the law, the exorbitant charges of attorneys and other expenses incidental to the successiul Prosecution of a suit. Again, if the merchant or manufacturer would, before beginning a sult, pay a visit to the court house and casually examine the men of whom the juries are composed, he would hesitate to submit bis grievances to such a tribunal for adjustment. In every large city there are hundreds of px I strikers, hangers ou, men without legitimate employ ment, whose umes are placed on jury lists, who have tew or no qualifications for ihe place. "Lhe jury system, as conducted in ourcities, isa tuilure consideration and settiement of complicate business matters, or in the solution of difficuit mechauleai probiems such as frequently arise im the trial of certain cases, With the average jury the true merits of a case do not always control the verdict. Preju- dice, a popular iawyer, ap accident, a confused wituess, the appearance or occupation of the parties io the suit, polities, religion, are all inci- dental factors in suaping a verdict in the minds of ignorant, untrained, weak-minded jurymen, Justice and equity do hot always prevail in the appeal to twelve men. jusiness law suils are too frequently born of heated passion, misunderstanding, Ignorance of all the facts’ or the law governing iue case, false pride in maiotaloing an opinion or atureay, 4n overbearing disposition, or perhaps 4 disin= clination to look eaimly ut both sides of a ques- tion. There are cases in the lives of many inen when a lawsuit cannot be avoided, but they are few. Finy per cent of all disputes could better be seitied by reference to experts or those versed fo matters similar to those in dispute. Many a suit would be dropped were the plainulf to count the cost wt tue veginning. Many a suit would be avoided were purties in interest wili- Ing to weign caimiy botu sides of the question, and todo unto their ellow men as they would be doue by. Think of @ business man, whose time is al- most tnvaiuable to bim in his regular round of duties, banging around a court-house day atter day awaiting the coming up of his case, wit hesses under pay, cunts accumulating, patience being exhausted, and all, perhaps, to'settie the point whether his neighbor owes uim $50, more or less. An appeal to the courts of law Is akin to buy- inga lottery ticket, though the result ts not known so speedily. "Tue victim’s sufferings are longer drawn out, iis money is taken in smaller butimore frequent instaliments. A suit at destroys a man’s equilibriuin, makes him nerv- ous, irritable, ugly, prevents "him irom giving he needed thought and attention to his iegiti- mate business and generally ends in loss and disappointment, ‘The lawsuit is seldom worth its eost, even to” the one Who obtains the ver diet. Avoid it whenever possible to do so with- out prejudice to your property or character. ——— +e. Wealthy Negroes. COLORED CITIZENS WORTH FROM HALF A MILLION DOWN. From the Atlanta Constitution. Jonn W.

FACTS AND PHENOMENA OF THE AOTIVITY OF THE BRAIN IN SLEEP. Dreaming is not peculiarto man. So faras ean be ascertained, all snimals dream more or Jess, according to the degree of their cerebral organization. Take dogs, A dog fast asleep before the fire will his tail or show his teeth and growl, fing as bis dreams are leasant or the reverse. If suddenly and rudely raked in the middle of deep sleep, he will bite Savagely; hence the proverb, “Let sleeping dogs lie.” Of what animais dream, we can, of course, only conjecture; but our own analogy their dreams are reminis- eences more or less confused of thelr waking existence. You will have the most extraor- @inary medley, far more wild and fantastic than any screen of scraps ever put together, even by Brummell himself in bis sad retreat at Calais. Nothing astonishes you in your dreams, nothing strikes you as incredible or impossible. There is a familiar dream—a very unpleasant one—which has oocurred to pangs eresy hogy: You dream that you are ata dinner, or bull, or some other entertainment amidst a crowd ot your friends, and you suddenly become aware, to your horror, that Ike Adam you are abso- lutely naked, but unlike him very dismally ashame The curious part of the dream is, as @ rule, toat the other actorsin it are entirely unconcerned at your condition, which only makes the thing the more bewildering. This particular dream is a contusion between your Waking state and your state of sleep. You are sufliciently asleep to carry on the dream and sufliciently awal be dimly conscious of your own actual condition and surroundings. Other forms of this mixed dream cannot be en- tered into, “Plato alludes to them in the Ke- public, and grounds an argument on them tor bis triple division of the soul into the intellect, the courage, and the loweror purely animal de- sires. The brute desires, according to him, have their seat in the bowels and interior organs of the body, which, as he points out, are uctive even during sleep, But, living mauy centuries betore Bichat, he, of course, Knew nothing of that great physiologist’s attempt .o divide our orguns into the quusi-vegetable, which are sin- gle and constanily at work, and the animal, which are double and require rest. Bichat’s generalization was hasty, aud there are many distinct facts which altogether contradict it; but it none the less came across physiviogy like the flash of a revolving light-house Lhrough an Atlantic fog. ‘There is another fact about dreams. It is not dificult, by an effort of will, to control them to. @ greater or lessdegree. If you are in trouble or distress of mind you will almost certainly dream of your anxieties, You cannot displace them from your own mind,eveo when you have hidden yourself in bed and darkened your chamber, But when anxiety ceases and you Know the certalnty at its worst, the tension Of the brain relaxes. Condemned criminals, who are perfectly aware tnut their last attempt to procure mercy has tailed, are reported, a5 4 Tule, to sleep most soundly the night Before their execution, wr cases of the kind are those of the ambler who finds himselt beggared, o1 the invalid who defini learns the nature of bis malady, of the man who has been sleepless tor weeks while those he loved were lying ill, but, like David, sleeps. soundly the night after their death, The in- lense anxiety of the brain to recuperate itself by sieep is a very singular phenomenon, It follows, then, thal toa certain extent you can check dreams of a certuin Kind vy ending the day with the stolld determination to dismiss the matter trom your tuoughts, And, asarule, you will find this method efficacious. Some men ony ueed un effortot will tor this purpose, Others have to try tue mental recitation of po- etry or the working out of a mathematical or ottier puzzle. ~sany 4 school boy has gone to sleep very comivriably while trying to make out how maay berrings you get for @ sbili! when @ herring and w half costs three baif-perce.

I have spent thou- sand- of dollars to arrest the murch of this disease; but temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unfit for any manual labor for several yeara A friend strongly recommended the use of Swift’s Specific (S, 5.5.),claiming that he himself had been greatly bene- fited by its use in some lung troubles. I resolved to try it. The results are remarkable. My cough has left me, my strength has returned, aud I weigh 60 pounds more than I ever did in my hfe. It has been three yeurs since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I have hadno return of the disease,and.there are no pains: or weakness felt in my lungs I do the hardest kind of mechanical work, and feel as wel: as Lever felt since ‘Iwas @ boy. These, I know, are wonderful statements to make, but [am honest when I say that Iowe my existence and health today to8.8.5. I would be recreant to the duty I owe to humanity if ¥ failed to bear this cheerful testimony to the merits of this wonderful medicine. 1. J. Hour. ‘Montgomery, Ala, June 25, 1885.
