NEBRASEA POLITICAL NOTES. The Republican State Oonvention Now Oasting Its Bhadow Befores A GLANCE AT THE FUTURE. The Railroad Wire-Makers Trimming Their Sails For the Conflict—Ne« braska’s M. E. Conference— Lincoln Happenings. [FROM TIIE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] There are growing signs of the annual political awakening that culminates in the republican state convention. The railroads are scheming and are “‘sly, dev- alish sly,” but it requircs no hard study to note that they are bent, if possible, on the retirement of Judge Samuel Maxwell from the supreme bench. During the past week hundreds of politicians have been in the city and the trusted backers of the railroads have had numerous con- forences with the B. & M. political bu- reau in this city and have gone home to work up their schewes. The action of the Laneaster county republicans in en- dorsing the board of transportation in a reduction of railrond rates in the state, the different roads proposeto overwhelm through the counties where they can get their backers on the state delegation. Oune of the road’s most notorious cappers has the past two weeks visited no less than a dozen counties in the state, issu- ing the law and coming back to report at the road’s political headquarters. One of the rond’s shrewdest schemers, who travels on an'‘employe’s’’pass, is already in a Lincoln hotel, gathering up every fact obtainable from those who visit the city and reporting. Ex-Attorney Gen- eral Dilworth has been to the city and no one 1n the state would better please the corporations to place on the supreme bench than himself, who has tried to climb to that position heretofore, and whose failure was not owing to lack of activity on tite part of the ronds. A very prominent politician in the state stated that the defeat of theaction of the board of transportation would mean the saddling upon the state of the present high tariffs, and that 1ts endorsement would mean money made to every dealer and producer in the state. Knowing this, 1f any think that the railroads are out of politics, they are entirelr in the dark, and the factis already plain that Jud}c Maxwell will be retired if the roads can do it. THE METHODIST CONFERENCE, The Nebraska conference of the Metho- dist Episcopal church will meet in the city this week and will be an important gathering. Bishop Hurst will preside and there will be several hundred min- isters and lay delegates in attendance, which will continuc 1n session for several The Methodist people in the city ¢ made ample preparation to sec that all will be accommodated who come and it will be one of the most important meetings of the year. During the con- ference the corner stone to the new Wesleyan university will be laid with im- Pposing ceremon BILLINGS BREAKS OUT AGAIN. Dr, Billings, who_ signs himself *‘Di- rector of the Patho-Biological Labratory, State University,’” and who has the subliie gall to addess himself to the farmers of Nebraska as their public ser- vant, has broken out again, his nuture having evidently been excited by the ap- pearanca of Dr. Salmon, of Washington, who attended the state fair and paid no attention to the recent vaporings of Dr. Billings. Such a mass of verbiage has not been hurled at the heads of an inof- fensive public for several days as the two-column challenge in_ the Journal of yesterday hurled at Dr. Salmon because that person know enough to mind his own ‘business. Thus Ur. Billings has evidently tranferred his newspaper war- fare for the time being from the state live stock commission. ‘'he board have in all the gas emitted by this personage, dignified themselves by attending to their business, as the state requires, and be- cuuse Dr. Satmon did not lower himself to the grade of Dr. Billings by quarrel- ing with him, the Iatcst bundle of wrath has gone forth. There has not yet eman- ated from the regents’ hog cholera man one single practical result that 1s in pos- session of a farmer 1n the state and ihe regents' hog doctor, so far as results are concerned. is a8 useless an expense us ever was saddled upon the state. A HANDSOME BALANCE. The board of managers of the stale fair, including the president and secre- tary, are at_their headguarters at the Windsor hotel, busily engaged in settling up the expenses of the late fair, and pre- aring the premium rolls for payment. ll"hu total reeeipts this vear exceed those of any former year and arc close to $40,- 000, while the expense account has been kept down to the minimum. The exact figures in profits cannot now be given, but the board will not have less than $18,000 in cash in the treasury after all1s settled, This showing speaks volumes for the business ability and business management of the gentlemen who have had the great fair in charge. BASE BALL MATTERS. The Denver club departed yesterday for Kansas City, where they pln_\l' the coming week, but they departad without the celebrated Tebeau. While in this city Denver sold this, their greatest kicker, to. Chicago for, it is stated, an even $1,000, and Tebeau departs at once for that city to join the second club in the National league. 1t is fair also to say that at this immediate time the West- ern league is hovering between life ana death, with beautiful prospects for the latcer. The organization has been rocky for some time and in critical health, At noon yesterday the home club had not departed for the south and it need ocea- sion no surprise if they fail to go en- tirely. BRIEF ITEMS. The B. & M. has been making several promotions and changes on the line of trainmasters and the divisions on the road. This is owing to the lurge increase in mileage and new lines in the west The road now 1s in three divisions. The northern division, under Superintendent D. E. Thompson, has its headquarters at Lincoln, and Assistant Superintendent E. Bignell, with headguarters at Aurora. V. 0. English, F. D. Houlette and 1. J. Belknap are trainmasters on this division, with headquarters at Lincoln. The south- ern division on the road is under J. Mec- Conift, superintendent, with hcadquar- ters at Lincoln; C. B. Rodgers, assistant superintendent with headquarters at Wy- more; Frank 5. Granger, trainmaster, located at Edgar; C. B. Philbrick, train- master, at Nebraska ( ity; R. k. qwlcy, roadmaster, with headquarters at Edgar; J. Coughlin, roadmaster, with headquar- ters at Strang. The western division onnmriwuhefnt of the turee divisions into which the rond is divided, and is, as heretofore, in charge of Alexander Cam bell, who has his headquarters at M Cook. Through these chauges and in- orease in the number of trainmasters a number of passenger conductors have re- ceived well-earned promotions. Mayor Sawyer has issued a notice to the public, stating the things it 1s un- lawful to do in the city. There was the customary number of drunks in the cooler yesterday. The dining room’ girls in the Capitai .hotel Bstruck’ day just before the dinner hour and marched out i a body, . _ fifteen in number. Their, grievance was because they were put under the orders of the steward thoy waited on the to be romoved from diction. This was refused and the strike followed. and just before dinner prieter and asked p::' mws‘r‘v‘l lnl‘ll- En walters were secured 80 that none went hungry from dinner. There are two circuses en route to Lin coln that exhibit one week apart, the tirst coming Tuesday and Adam Fore- paugh & week later. ‘The circus has been common in Lincoln this season. I. Openheimer, Indian agent witk. the Sac and Fox tribes in the territory, is at home for a few days en route east to pur- chase beads for the noble red men. peumed- il Misery After Eating 1s avoided by dyspeptics who, guided by the recorded experience ol thousands, begin and systematically Enmle a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Persis. tonce in the use of this pure and highly accredited stomachic, is the sole and nfruenble condition of the entire removal of the obstinate forms of dyspe psia, no less than a temporary fit of indiges- tion. In connection with the use of this specific, it is desirable to avoid articles of food which individual experience has shown to be difficult of digestion, by the stomach sought to be befitted. Each dyspetic's past observation of his diges- tive capacity should enable him to be his own guide and mentor in this particular, not trusting to any set of dietetic rules too general to be suited to particular cases, Biliousness and constipation, heartburn and wind upon the stomach, sour eructations, headache and mental despondency, are among the concom- itants of dyspepsia, and we put it to flight by the Bitters. s TR REAL ESTATE.

Macon Telegraph: Much interest has been felt in the little son of Mr. Pat Pierce,who was bitton on the leg by a moc- casin last week. As was then stated, as soon as the mother, who was about twenty feet away, heard the child scream she ran to it, picked it up, and in less than two minutes had it on the bed and was sucking the wound. There were three little punctures 1o the skin, each about the size of the head of a pin and formed a triangle. When she had sucked two mouthfuls of blood from the wound she ‘anu the child whiskey, and also soaked a lot of tobacco and whiskey, and applied 1t to the leg. When the physician arrived he soaked some tobacco instead of whiskey, and this was the only change he made in the mother's remedy. The result has been watched for with considerable interest. In an hour after the rumedies were ap- plied, with the exception of the eflect produced by taking whiskey into the systemn and the fuct that the little puncs tures remained in the skin, the child was up and ubout just as though he never snake-bitten. = The tobaceo and whiskey were neeessary, but the main rewedy was the prompt sucking of the wound by the mother. 600 28,008 —— Complexion Powder 18 an absolute necessity of the refined toilet in this cli- mate. l’vouonl‘l combines every element of beauty and purity. : THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 1887 SOME FACTS FOR THE FARMER The Care of Stock in Beptember—The Live Stook Trade. A VERY VALUABLE PASTURAGE. Discrimination in Feeding—Bees in September-—-Native or Foreign Treos—An Olive King —Notes. Live Stock Notes for September. Rural New Yorker: The practice of turning horses out onto & poor, hard pasture, after a hard day's work, to pick up what feed they can, without rest, is both cruel and injurious. The feed is now poor, and the second growth is pro- ductive of a profuse and weakening sali- vation. By whatever cause in this second growth this effect is produced,it should be avoided, and only good, nutritious food should be given. 1t for any reason this salivation occurs, it may be quickly stopped by feeding a quart of dry bran or ground food. This subject is worthy of investigation, because horses are un doubtedly injured by something in the second growth of meadows. Errors in feeding are prolific sources of trouble with horses. Full feeding after long fasting or severe work is injurious and productive of iudigestion; so is copious watering soon after feeding. All these mistakes are to be especially avoided at this uime, when hard work,hot weather and weariness of the driver all tend to negligence. As the fall plowing 1s done this month,every wise attention and pre- caution for the wellfare of the teams should be taken, Keep a sharp share on the plow and see that the zenrinF is such as to lessen the draft 1o the lightest point, being neither too short to worry the plowman nor too long to add to the horse’s labor. Water the team moderately four times a day, and never within two hours after feed- ing. Give ample time for feeding and feed a bran mash three times a week. Carefully wash and scrape off every gad Il[v'x egg at noon and evcning. Keep a clean stable, well dusted with plaster,and a clean, soft bed for the horses, and do not neglect to rub them down thoroughly before leaving them at night. Colts need good feeding as the milk of the dam falls off. Crushed oats and lin- seed make an excellent substitute for milk. Brush and card the colts and be- gin to halter, break them now when they can be separated from the mare at night. 1t is a good edneation for the colts to run with the mare on the road or in the field while plowing, and get roadwise and otherwise, Never use a whip or other instrument for punishment of a colt. Now is the time to teach it horse talk and horse sense by gentle management and word. COWS AND CATTLE. Anthrax fever is one of the common diseases of cattle at this time of the yeor when the feed 1s becoming dry, hard and dsvoid of nutriment, Ope s tempted to turn the cows into swamp lots where the growth of weeds is luxuriant; but this 1s provocative of these common disorders. The prevalent milk sickness is about due now, and extra care should be taken to avoid running cattle in marshes, dried swamps, or upon land where decaying organic matter 18 abundant. Here, aguin, errors in feeding are at the bottom of most of the troubles of the season, You ask, *‘What are we to do when there is no othet resource for pasturing cat- tle?”’ This shows the very great import- ance of providing some fodder—corn especially—for use at this senson. It is too late for this year, but the need has been pointed out in good time 1n these hints, which are intended as easy lessons for guidance, month by month. Don't let the cows fall off in milk this winter, If no other feeding is at hand, pull suckers out of corn and cut out all the stalks which have no ears and feed them. All that is xained now in the con- dition of cattle will be a gain through the winter. *'Stock well summered are half wintered.” SHEEP. Early lambs are now to be provided for by selecting a good ram. Choose a kind suited to the circumstances. The wrong sheep are always unprofitable. Feed the ewes some grain food if they are bred this month, Avoid earlylambs, unless the most perfect provision is made for caring for them 1n the cold weather of Febrnury or March, Where no ade- quate provision is made don't breed the ewes until December, and have the lambs in May, separate the wethers and lambs from the ewes and keep only the breeding sheep together. Where the flock is over thirty in number keep the ram from the ewes in the day and turn them together at night onl Smear the ram’s brisket with a mixture of Venetian red and oi) when he is put with the flock each time, and he will mark the ewes served. Careful shepherds who know their sheep will want to make a note ot the time they are due. A good feed for ewes at this time is rye, cornmeal and buckwheat, in equal parts, fed in troughs divided by partitions into spaces of a foo). Remember the gad-fly is around this month, and smear tar on the inside of the feed trough to protect the sheep’s noses. Look out for lame sheep, and when found pare the soft horn around the hoof and shorten the toes. SWINE, Water, pure and fresh, is indispensible for the welfare of hogs. The common, but mistaken belief that swine are |iltl‘|]y animals, operates greatly to their disad- vantage by excusing the” filthy ways in which they are kept and fed, and the worst of it all is the unwholesome water provided—if any provisions at all is made for them. Young pigs full fed up to this time may make one hundred pounds more growth by continued full feedinb. The next three months 1s the most profitable period of their lives, if it is made the most of and they are the rightkind. In choosing boars for breeding, the tactthat great fat is no longer desirable, but meat is re- quired, should be no ‘The articles on feeding should be well studied in this re- gard. Breeders to be kept over winter should be provided with comfortable pens. Lay in a supply of litter on the first opportunity. Dried swamp muck is the most valuable and useful and the present month is a good time to dig it. For early spring pigs to be made into pork next fall couple the sows this month. Sows farrowing this month sl;onl«l be mated again the ninth day af ter, The Live Stock Trade. This subject is one of deep interest to our farmers, and, like that of the dairy, must continue to attract attention as one of the principal adjuncts in our efforts to increase and diversify our products—not only to supply the great home market, which 1s being so largely increased by the natural home additions to our popu- lation, but also by the enormous addi- tion which is now being made, and must continue, from Europe, as the continued threats of war in_that quarter of the giobe are made. Not only must we be able to meet the requirements upon our soil, but the demand for our beef, pork and mutton in our greatest foreign mar- ket--Great Britain—must be looked after and supplied. (n the North British (Edmburgh) Agriculturist of a late date we find a synopsis of a leading paper in the last number of the British Quarterly eview upon the meat supply of that empire, which cannot but be of interest ‘10 our American breeders, showing as it does the advantage we ’]oz over all others for the lion's ' sliare of this trade. The Agriculturist, ‘In’ introducing its synopsis remarks: ' “In the Quarterly Review, just pub- lished, this subject is ably handled. The writor commences by remarking that for ten years, ending with 1883, the live stock interest, and especially the breeding in- terest of the country, liad been in s flour- 1shing condition, wheraas since that year the values of cattle and sheep had been declining, until the autumn_of last year, when the rise in the price of wool caused a partial recovery in. the value of sheep. The fall after 1883 affected lean stock more seriously than fat animals, and it is contended that hreeders have suffered more from the drop in prices than feed- ers have, so far as the two can be sep- arated. Indeed, the writer argues, that, as far as feeders are concerned, those who contrast the good times before 1883 with the bad times since, eraggerated alike the gains of the ecarlier period and the losses of the latter one. The Review, after some general re- marks upon breeding and feeding, re- marks upon the advantages of early ma- turity, which are dwelt on atsome length figures being quoted from the records of the Smithtield and Chicago shows. In this direction, it is urged, there are hopes of reducing the cost of production. FUTURE OF FOREIGN COMPETITION. Proceeding to consider the question of foreign comvetition and its probable ef- fect upon the prices of the future, the writer takes a very reassuring line of argument as far as the interests of home producers are concerned, Although six- pence a pound for beef or mutton is a vrice that would have been deemed sat- isfactory by the farmers of the last gen- eration, he remarks, it is by no means certain that a higher ayerage will not be common in the future, for, although the average price of beef has not gone down to that amount in the recent year of which we have complete statistics, the supply of foreign beef has fallen off, be- cause the trade has not been remunera- tive to American and other shippers. As to mutton from Australia, it is pointed out that shippers for the last twelve months have been getting only about a penny a pound for the pick of their flocks, reared at extra expense for our markets. Evidence from New Zealand is then quoted to show that some ship- pers are gving up the trade rn frozen mutton in disgust, and the tailure of freezing companies in Australia 18 referred to. As to the River Plate mutton, 1ts export is shown to have been unprofitable at recent prices, the River Plate Fresh Meat company having de- clared aloss of £37,000 on ten months’ trading at its last meeting. Although there are vast numbers of cattle in the River Plute, the beef, it is pointed out, is not good enough for our markets, and many years will be required to level up the herds to the requisite quality. From Australasia the beef supply has never risen beyond insiguificance. large portion of the foreign beef received by us has come from the United States, and American evidence is cited to show that the days of very cheap production in that conntry are passing away as the great free ranges are every year en- croached upon by settlers. EUROPEAN SOURCES OF SUPPLY. After referring to European sources of our meat supply, and showing that there is no reason to expect from them increased quantities at prices as low as those which have recom‘v prevailed, the writer refers to the great profits obtained by butchers and other middlemen in this country, as injurious to producers and consumers alike, and advocates the co- operation of farmersito sell their meat direct to consumers. Discrimination in Feeding Stock. Philadelphia Record: Where stock of all kinds is kept under cone shelter and fed at the barn, some distinction should be made between the animals required for production and those that are simply retained for a future Yurnosm The cow that isin full flow of milk requires food dif- ferent in character from the cow that has been dried off, while the steer may need only enough to repair waste of tissue un- til the period arrives for fattening for the butcher, Yet, us a rule, the cattle are fed indiscriminately, in a routine way, and while they may have been allowed all that 18 required, it becomes a waste- ful practice to feed that which may be dispensed with under certain circum- stances. Without a liberal supply of food the cows cannot produce large quantities of milk, and the most econo- mical system of feeding a cow i3 to use her for converting the cheaper hay and grain into the higher-priced milk or butter. It will not pay to feed inferior food, or that which is lacking in the elements necessary for wmilk production. Thecow that has been dried off and is waiting to come in fresh must also be fed intelligently, not only to provide food for herself and embryo calf, but to bring her into good condition when she is ready for milk; but she will not have that heavy drain which pertains to the cow 1 full flow. The steer, if fully matured, and if the season be not advanced in order to fattten him for m t, is content with very ordinary rations until the time arrives for filling his frame with choice beef. If the wants of each animal be noticed, and the food be given in 1 manner so as best to pro- mote the objects sought, there will be quite a saving in the course of a season if the herd is a large one. The same is true of hogs. While the barrows should be kept in a rapidly growing condition, so as to make as large a frame as possible before the time arrives for feeding corn, the sow must be fed with a view to hav- ing her n a_healthy condition, with a proportion of fat stored up. Yet coru is made the staple food by farmers when 1t is not needed, thus entailing loss by not using discrimination in feeding. Rye For Fall and S pring Pasturage. Philadelphia Record: Rye is not only yaluable for its grain and straw, but it cannot be excelled as a crop for mte pasturage in the fall when other green food isscarce, while it also grows early 1n the spring and enables stock to secure green food before anything makes a If rye should be estimated en- y as a foreign plant the result would not be altogether in it favor, as there are other and more desirable materials for that purpose, but its place cannot easily be filled in some respects. in the fall the farmer usually b barn well stored with grain and hay cares very little about rye as a svecial tood, but'it1s well known that as long as the stock can procure a proportion of green food there is greater thrift, and milch cows give a larger quantity of milk owingto the dietary effect of the green food. Unless the farmer have ensilage s stock he must subsist on the cured dry provender provided for them, but if he'have a field of rye he can either pas- ture the cows upon it or cut it for them, if it be ot suflicient height, according to the proportion required. 1f the ground be made rich the grazing on the rye will do it no harm, as it will grow up again and provide a crop of grain at the proper time; but care should be taken that the rye be not trampled 100 much. In addi- tion to late grazing, as soon as the snow is off the ground in the spring the rye furnishes early gr food, which ‘is always an aceeptable treat to stock that have been fed on dry food during the long winter, and in these respects the rye crop 13 one of the best. 1t shortens the time on which grain ana hay ave fed ex- clusively. When other grasses begin to come in the rye can be permitted to ma- ture, and a crop of grain and straw har- vested. Rye can never be made to usurp the place of wheat and oats as a gran crop except on light sandy soils, but as a eombined crop, affording grain, straw and convenient grazing, it has an 1m portant place which no other crop can fill- It will pay sny. farmer who kecps stock to sow a piece of land to rye,not so much as & matter of profit, but ns & means of providing green food in the fall and early sprin Bees BSeptember. American Agriculturist: Successful wintering of bees depends, to a great ex- tent, on their managoment this month. Late, unsealed honey is poor food for winter, and should never be used for (eml::r purposes. If extracting be con. tinued late, there is more or less danger, unless full sealed combs have been set aside for this purpose; otherwise the late unsealed honey may be extracted and good sugar syrup be substituted. There are many localities where full flowars abcund and where the principal surplus of the year is gathered this month. 1n harvesting fall honey the ex- tractor is invaluable, for the bees will not siore the honey in boxes when combs must_be built nearly as fastas in the brood chamber, where instinct teaches them it must be filled for winter. This is also a good month to introduce new blood into the apiary. Keep no queen- less stocks this month,unless 1t is intended to introduce queens,in which case one or two combs of hatching brood, from stocks that can best spare them, should be inserted, in order to secure young bees for winter, 1f there are still sur- lus boxes on, it 1s quite necessary to eep the cap of the hive warm at night by artificial means, as the bees are very apt to leave boxes when the nights are cool, and thus retard their work to such an extent that we have many unfinished bexes, where with the necessary warmth they would have been completed. Where the honey harvest ceased last month, the bees may now be divided, riving them young queens. The honey flow of this month will enable them to get in good condition by the time they go _into winter quarters, Where any stocks have old queens, these should be destroyed, and young queens introduced. With a little care, the supply of queens can be kept on hand.

An editorial 1n the September Century closes as follows: ‘‘We feel justified in adding to these general statements a word of strong recommendation in favor of native as against foreign, or. at least as against Buropean trees. At the best the latter are uncertain in almost every case, while the former have an inborn and a well-proved title to be trusted. The most successful ornamental planting t has ever been done in America shows its results 1n the streets of such towns as Stockbridge, Great Barrington, Salem, and New Haven, and was the work of men who went to the forest and not the nursery for their infant elms and maples. Certainly our more recently planted parks offer small ‘!‘)rumise of a like maturity of beauty with their European oaks and ashes, their Scotch and Austrian pines,in almost as deplorable a state as their Nor- way spruces. When not ornamental but economic plantations are in question, past experience tells very strongly against European trees, while the evi- dence of recent experiments with native trees—as in the plantations of indigen- ous conifers in eastern Massachusetts— is of the most encouraging kind." California’s Olive King. Colonel Elwood Cooper, the lar olive-grower and manufacturer of sweet oil in the world,has given areporter some interesting points about his business. “‘Santa Barbara 1s the great olive country of the United States and the world," said the prosperous grower. ‘‘But they can be raised all the way from San Luis Obispo to San Diego. I hear of a few trees in Georgia, but there is nowhere else in America that they are produced except California. I have 100 acres now of olive trees, eighty of which are bear- ing. I began in rather a small way in 1873, and finvu planted from 1,000 {0 3,000 trees each winter ever since. It takes the trees from four to six or seven years to bear. [ expect to make from my pres- ent crop from 20,000 to 25,000 bottles of oil. Yes, there is the biggest sort of a market right here at home for every bot- tle that can be made. California can’t begin to produce the tenth part that is required. The present crop is very g,nod. ‘The trees are in fine condition und are bearing well. I employ thirt; men steadily and a good deal of the time 1 have from sixty to seventy. [ am en- §:|z<axl in raising nuts too. What kind? Snglish walnuts and almonds.

INTERESTING EVIDENCE OF A CONDITION NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH, When catarrh has existed in the head and the upper part of the throat for any lenkth of time ~-tre patient living in n district where people are subject to catarrhal affcetion- and the dis- engo has been lort uncured, the catarrh invari- ably, sometimes slowly, extends down tuo windpipe and_into the bronchial tubes, which tubesconvey the Rir to different purts of tho lungs. The tubes becomo affected from the swelling and the mucous arising from catarrh, and, in some instances, bocome plugged up. 8o that the air cannot get in aa freely as it ghould. sShortness of breath follows, and the patient breathes with labor and difficulty. Tn oither case there 13 u sound of orackling and wheezing inside the chost. At thia stage of tho disease the breathing is usually more rapid than when in bealth, Tho pationt has also hot dnshes over his boay. The pain which nocompanies this conditton is of a dull character, felt in tho chost, bohind the breust bone, or under the shoulder blade. The pain may cme and go- lust fow dnys and thon e absent for several others. The cough that occurs in the first stages of hronchial catarrh is dry,comes on at jntervals, hucking in churac- ter, and is usually most troublesome in tne morning on rising, or going to bod at night and it may be in the first evidence of tho disensc ox- tending into the lungs. Somotimes there are flts of coughing induced by the tough mucus so violent as to cause von iting. Later on the mucus that is raised, found to contain small particles of yollow maf ter, whioh indicates that the small tubes io the lungs are now ffected. With this there are ofton streaks of blood mixed with the mucu Insome cnses the patient becomes very pale, has fever, and oxpoectorates before any cough ApPeArs. .
