If a person hes sn obstinate cough, which com- menced without any obvious cause,» cough whicb is at first dry and hacking, and subsequently sttended for a timo with frothy or mucilaginous-looking expec- toration, accompanied by wandering pains sbout the chest and loss of flesb, even to a slight extent, he is in all probability consumptive. If, besides, there be hemoptysis or spitting of blood, even to the amount of a drachm, the prabability ie increased to almost a certainty. If, im addition to these aymptoms, the breathing becomes barsh, burried and deep inepira- tions evoke a few clieks of a dry aud cracking sound, or if the voice becomes permanently weak and hoarse, there can be little doubt thas the person is suffering fromm cousumption. Ifa person, free from dysentery, and who has not re- sided im el suffers from obstinate diar- thoes, which goes on mouth after month, with aliht remission or intermission, even though there be no cough, Be is most likely consumptive Should this diarrhas be followed by chest symptoms of the slight- est amount, the existence of consumption is an ab- solute certsinty. If young adult, not sddicted to euervating habits and not leading » dissolute life, without clear cause steadily loses weight, he is, in all probability. consumptive, though mo chest symp- toms should have appeared. When such. however, manifest themselves additionally the establishment a fixed fact. In all cases where atly bf the manifestations described make their appearance We should advise an immediate examina- tion of ie shest and a prompt resort to apppropriate treatment. Atan early stage of consumption a radical cure can be frequently effected, and health placed upon a firm and permanent footing, while with every step im ad- vance which the disease is allowed to take the chances for a perfect recovery diminish correspondingly. Our Feaders must bear in mind that the most skillful and efficient treatment can do no more than tomake sound ‘sud useful semuch of the lungs as is present at the time when the progress of consumption becomes sus- pended. No means on earth cau replace the lung tis- swe which has been destroyed by the ulcerated pro- cess. The earlier, therefore, consumption is attended to, the better are the chauces for satisfactory results.

One Hundred and Sixty-Three Men Working the Eight-Hour Schedule. The painters, who are striking for eight hours for a day's work, are still confident that they will win the fight. They were indorsed last night by the executive committee of the District Assembly and ate backed by every labor organization in this city,as well as several outside organizations. These labor organization indorsements, they say, mean financial as well as other assistance, and Secretary Walport of the Painters’ As- sembly said this morning that they were condition to keep up the strike several months at least ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE EIGHT-HOUR ‘MEN AT WORK, At a mecting of the Journeymen Painters’ Assembly last night reports were made to the effect that 163 journeymen employed by 29 master painters not members of the Master Painters’ Association were working yesterday under the eight-hour rule. A PROPOSITION WAS RECEIVED from one of the boss painters that he would grant the cight hours if the men would go to work at 8 o'clock in the morning and quit at 5 o’clock in the evening, with an hour for dinner. The assembly, however, decided to stand by its by-laws and work from 7:30 a.m. till 4 p.m., with thirty minutes for dinner. THE EVENIXG HOUR. “It's the evening hour that we want,” said Secretary Walport, ‘During the winter months it is too dark at 5 o'clock to see how to work, and by working the hours adopted by the as- sembly the employer gets the benefit of more work.” THE PENDING EIGHT-HOUR BILL IX CONGRESS. The members of the assembly are watching with interest the action of the Senate on the eight-hour bill, which makes it a misdemeanor for contractors under the government to re- quire their men to work more than eight hours. ——.— — A WOMAN’S DISPENSARY.
