TYPHOID FEVER.

After some further evidence the case wa s dismissed with costs.

. (To the Editor of the Evening Stae.) Sre,—Dr. Bowman, in his "Elementary Priu . ciples of Medicine," use 3 the terms typhus and typhoid as being convertible terms. "Typhus fever," he says, "i 3 compounded of primary faver (simple or low fever), and of snch symptoms as the organic lesions may give rise to :" that is to say it consists of simple fever carried on until one and another of the organs of the body are impaired, vitiated, exhausted, or destroyed. He further says that typhus or typhoid fever differs in no respect in its first stage from the fever of a common cold, of that which pre-' cedes small pox, eruptions, or many other disorders, and thati'c cannot be distinguished from them. I gather from these two state ments that cp;<umon cold, simple, primary, or low fever, cyphoid and typhus fever, " and many other disorders," do not differ essenti ally in. their nature and origin; but in the extent to which they are carried by the con ditions or accidents with which they become 11 compounded;" they being as so many beaten tracks in the pathway of death, diverging and corn-mingling, having a com mon origin and end, along either of which the patient travels, according to the accidents or concomitants of the case. Now fever, like fire, is not a substance or thing, but an acfc or process, originating in certain causes, operating on certain substances, and producing certain results. Dr Bowman and other authorities say that fever is a morbid or corrupt condition of tie system, produced by the introduction of a morbid or corrupting virus into the system. This theory can only be proved inferentially, or argumentatively, for such virus or mor bific matter has never been isolated or se cured. There are difficulties also in the way to the admission of this theory; as, for instance, it necessitates the existence of separate and distinct germs of fever virus for every species of fever—a supposition totally at variance with the conclusions to be de rived from the statements quoted at the commencement of my letter. I define fever to be, as I said before, not a condi tion of the system, morbid or other wise, but an act or effort of nature to overcome such a condition, to cast out and get rid of certain foul, offensive matters from the system, and to restore the smooth, harmonious working of the whole system, which the presence of those extrane ous matters interferes with and prevents. I also believe that, in an otherwise healthy individual, cold produces—in a way that I shall endeavour to explain presently—fever of a simple character only ; and that in just that same proportion as the system of the individual is congested ox obstructed with foul matter, such will be the nature and character of the fever induced. I believe that which I have now stated, in consequence of the following facts. Typhoid fever, (or rather not? the fever but the typhoid condition of the system which the fever is designed to remedy) is a disease of putrefactive fermen tation. It is not a pleasant simile to contem plate, but it is emphatically and absolutely correct that the typhoid condition of the system of a fever patient and the condition of an ordinary farm yard dung-hill are identically the same in every particular. Their composition is the same, their origin ?S the same, the process going on in them is the same, the products of the process are the same, and (except in cases of nature being the victor over the foe) the ullimate results are the samo. They are both composed of organic tissues, saturated and contaminated with foul waste ma'.ter of animal origin. Such waste animal matters being very high in the scale of organization (consequently "unstable") are prone to run into putre factive fermentation, a process which consists in the breaking up of an organized sub- Btance into its elements, and the re-adjust ment of those elements in simpler form. This process takes place in both in stances, accompanied in both by the pro duction of foul gases, which may be recognised by their odour, and of other matters (which in the case of the living body are highly acid, and in the other highly alkaline). In each case the process as it continues, is accompanied by a rotting away of the organic tissues which are saturated by the fermenting matter, which Dr Bowman calls " Organic lesiona," and which the farmer calls " shortening " his manure ; and in each case the ultimate result is, the destruction of the organic fibre, and its burial in, the earth for the purpose of its resurrection in a new form of life. Now, j what are the foul waste matters present in | the system of a typhoid patient, and how do they come there? They are many and various. First, there are the gross matters arising from over indulgence in food of any kind (especially of animal foods, such as pork, eggs, rich pastries, and the like), and from inability of the system perfectly to digest and dispose of them. Secondly, there are those arising from the drinking of beer, spirits, brandy, and the like, which it is well known will speedily produce by over indulgence in them, a foul stomach and tongue and a congested [or stuffed-up con dition of the system, as near like the typhoid condition of a fever patient as may be. Thirdly, there is the imperfect aeration of the blood, from want of an abundance of fresh air, and from the breathing of an air contaminated with miasmata, this being one of the chief reasons for the prevalence of typhoid fever among the poorer classes. These, and other foul matters not necessary to enumerate, constitute the food of the putrefactive fermentation when it i 3 once set up. Now for the origin of the fermentation itself. How is the putrefying process originally set up 1 How is any other fermentation set up ? Infection or contagion communicates the ' putrefying leaven from patient to patient exactly in the same way as the vinous fermentation is communicated by transferring a portion of yeast from a fer menting vat of beer to another not yet fermented vat of wort. In such case the morbid fermentation spreads decisively and with rapidity. Where, however, the disease originates in the patient's own body it is in this way : The pores of the skin and the tissues of the body being as already indicated greatly choked or congested with foul mat ters, a slight cold is sufficient to Btop the insensible perspiration altogether. Those refuse organic animal matters (dead and done tuith particles be it remembered) which should have been ejected from the system by means of the perspiration, being retained in the system, acting as morbid irritants to the system, nature makes an effort, or a succes sion of efforts, to re-establish the perspiration and to expel them in her own usual way. This effort or series of efforts on the part of nature is accompanied by quickened circulation, as is any other exertion. In creased circulation means increased heat (cannot be otherwise). Nature continues her effort until she becomes exhausted, when she falls back to rest before she can renew the Btrnggle. Then intervenes a period of pallor, a " cold chill," possibly so cold as to condense the moisture of the atmosphere or breath upon the forehead, when it is igno rantly termed " a cold sweat," etc., etc. Now, this effort, or series of efforts on the part of nature is, as Dr Bowman terms it, " primary fever." Where the cold is slight, where there is no great; amount of foul mat ters present in the system, nature's efforts with assistance or otherwise, are Boon successful, the ailment is soon overcome, and it is "only a cold," or a "severe cold with a touch of low fever." But where?the cold is more severe, where the system is full of foul humour, and various impurities, nature's task is not so easy. In such a case, days are required to overcome the resistance, the " vis inertia " of the choked up passages, and this interval give 3 time for the com mencement of the process of the breaking up intoj) its elements of the foul dead matter

(which should have been removed ny perspi ration), which constitutes and is the com mencement of the putrefactive fermentation. I have thus endeavoured to set forth as concisely as possible, what I consider to be the nature and origin of typhoid. One word more and I conclude this portion of my snbject. It is pretty well known that fermentation of any kind requires a medium or warm temperature to make a satisfactory progress. _ At a low temperature, fermenta tion remains in a comparatively quiescent state. At a high temperature the action is destroyed altogether. Increase of tempera ture is also a result of fermentation, as it is of most other molecular action, 30 that the putre factive fermentation once set up, and having at command the necessary material to work upon, (the organic impurities in the body,) being nourished also by the very increase of temperature which is the result of nature's own mci eased exeriions to get rid of such a vampire preying on her vitals, rapidly gains force and strength as it proceeds, first saturat ing, then rotting away, one or other or more, of the organs of the body, like a boa con- 1 striefcor licking down its prey; "Organic lesions " first, then death ensues, and, result ing from a simple cold under unfavourable circumstances, the patient dies of "typhoid feyer !" How far this unfortunate termin ation may possibly bo brought about by the course oftreatment'pursued. I shall endeavour to explain in my next.—l am, Sir, yours obediently,—Henry Clayton, M.P.S. [By one of those curious vagaries of the types, Mr Clayton was made to utter last night words wholly antagonistic to his real sentiments. In order to set him right with his readers, we reprint the sentence cor rected : "If in the course of these notices I differ, not only from the preconceivod notions of the public in the matter, but also from the theories and practice of the medical profession, under whom I was brought up, I do so not out of disrespect for that body as a whole, or any member of that body individually."]

JUSTICE, OH ! [To the Editor of the EVENING Star.] Sir, —Two notorious prostitutes were yester day brought up on the information of their neighbours living in Haveloek-street, who were obliged for some time back to submit to the most filthy blasphemous and vile language that could issue from the mouth of a human being. The case was proved to the satisfac tion of any person having any reasonable wish to protect respectable citizens. The magistrate discharged them. Why ? Be cause they pleaded pitifully. He sent them back to their old haunt, there to become the terror of those who sought for peace sake to get rid of them. They are gone back, and now can be heard issuing threats and denun ciations against peaceable persons in the neighbourhood. The justice who allowed this can command but little respect from the well-disposed and peace-loving people of this community.—l am, etc., One Indignant.

DR. WALLIS' LECTURE.

Dr. J. Wallis delivered his promised lec ture on "Intemperance and the Remedial Legislation Required " yesterday evening at the Temperance Hall, Albert-street. The audience was not numerous, no doubt in con sequence of the heavy rain. Mr J Lamb occu pied the chair and introduced the lecturer to the audience. The speaker, after expressing his opinion that the committee would have acted wisely in postponing the lecture to a more favourable opportunity, proceeded first to show how intimately Temperance was copnected with Christianity, as taught by our Lord. In spite of the teachings of good men, from the time of the Apostles downward to our own times, the evils cf in temperance had continued to grow and to impregnate largely the human race. A great number of societies had been formed against the vice. Distinguishing the two parties who were opposed to drink, he might call them the regulars and the militia - the former being the total ab stainers, and the latter the advocates of temperance and moderation. Of this class he was one. Whichever they belonged to there was no necessity to brand one another with the names of fanatic or drunkard. The lecturer next proceeded to trace the history of the abuse of alcohol. The fact was men tioned that alcohol in its now common forms of gin, whiskey, and brandy, had only been known about 200 years. The injurious effects of spirit on the nervous system was elabor ately shown by quotations from scientific enquirers and the Edinburgh Review. The next portion of the lecture was devoted to the effects of alcohol upon the conduct of the individual, and also upon society. Some startling facts were enunciated. Of £85 per annum,, which was calculated as the average income of the British workman, £18 were Hpent in drink. The revenue from spirit licenses and duties in England amounted to about thirty millions of pounds, which would make the total spent in drink represent something like 100 millions. The connection of drink with crime and poverty was forcibly traced by the lecturer, and proved by statistics from workhouses, lunatic asylums, and gaols. It had been proved that 75 per cent, of crime was directly traceable to drink : its connection with poverty was^ too plain to need dwelling on : as to lunacy, out of 300 idiots, it had been proved that 145 were the offspring of habitual drunkards. Dr Wallis said he would postpone the second portion of his lecture to another time. As to remedial legislation, he would merely observe now that the Permissive Bill appeared to be the most practicable remedy. The points which he should insist on in his second lecture would be (1) The prevention of the adulteration of alcoholic liquors. (2) Pro hibition of the sale of alcoholic liquors to minors. After his concluding remarks a vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer and the assemblage broke up.

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE.

Yesterday was the children's day at the new Museum and Institute, and in the after noon the place was literally filled with the children of St. Mary's, Ponsonby, St. Francis', Wyndham-street, under the care of Rev. Father Mac Donald, and the boys and girls of St, Paul's School, conducted by Mr Worthington. The youngsters generally manifested great interest in the remarkable curiosities and exhibits. The exhibition was well attended ie the evening by children of larger growth. The lecture on the construo tion and use of the microscope was most interesting in detail, and listened to with much attention. Mr Crooke's new series of views were of a very attractive character; the first series embraced views of the Holy Land ; the next portion was "'Up the river Thames" with views of Windsor Castle, Hampton Court, Chelsea Hospital, Green wich, and other Thames-side spots in connec tion with history and character. This even ing there will be a lucid discourse on the Solar system, after which Mr Crooks will display his new series of views of remarkable places in the city of London.

SHOCKING CHIMES BY A SERVANT.

Mr Justice Denman, at the last Somerset assizes adjudicated upon a caso of the most extraordinary character. The accused was a domestic servant ■whose inborn depravity had led to the commission of a serien of revolting crimes, which were thus summarized by the learned jndge in sentencing fie prisoner : In September ?last, you, being in charge of a little child of your master and mistress, Mr and Mrs Barnard, more than once expressed your dislike of one of the habits of that unfortunate child, and that on your being asked by the mother of the child to take it away from the window whore it was makitg some disturbance or noise, or not rfoinp what its mother chose it should do, you took it into your arms, and carrying it one hundred yards or more to a ditch, where there was water enough to drown it, and that you placed it in that ditch. The child was drowned ; you came away; you spoke about the child heartless ly to the mother as to your having no more me«ses to clean ; you asked for and obtained mourning for that child ; and you went on in the service for two or three months longer, until you were tempted by the devil to set fire to a barley-mown and a haystack Having done that from malice towards your employer, en quiry takes placn respecting it, and at last the dread ful secret which had been in your breast for three months came out, and it turned out that by your un lawful act that child had been destroyed ; and in the course of enquiries that were made about the child you actually admitted that you had thrown another child dpwn a well some time before. (Sensation.) Now this is the case I have to pas 3 sontenceupon, and knowing all I do, the case having been proved, and the jury having gone to the utmost extent of mercy to which they were M'arranted in going in finding yon guilty of macslaugliter and not of murder, and the jury having, quite rightly I think, abstained from expressing any recommendation to mercy or anything of the kind to indicate that the law should not have its full effflct, it becomes my duty to pass upon you the highest sentence known to law for manslaughter, and that is, that you be kept in penal servitude for life.

Supreme Court: Singular Crim inal Case.

INVERCARGILL. (Per Press Agency.)

This day.

The session of the Supreme Court here was only two criminal cases. After examining prosecutrix, in the case of Mackay, charged with rape, prisoner having married prosecu trix four clays after committing the offence. Judge Williams expressed his opinion that she was not competent to give evidence against her husband. The Crown Prosecutor decided not to present a bill to the grand jury, and Mackay was discharged. In the case of Smith ancVaMcShane and wife, the two male prisoners were found guilty of robbery with violence, and the female of receiving stolen property. The male prisoners were sentencad to twelve months with hard labour. The judge said that seeing McShane had been found guilty he did not think the wife could be convicted, but would reserve the point for considera tion.

HARBOUR BOARD.—This Day.

The Harbour Board met this afternoon. Mr W. C. Daldy, the chairman, presided, and there were present : —Messrs Boy lan, Brett, McKenzio, Myers, Niccol, Isaacs, Mays. WYNYARD PIER. An opinion given by Mr W. L. Rees on tha title of the public to a right of way to the Wynyard Pier was read. This was unfavourable to any such right existing. MR SOMBRFIELTI'S LEASES. A letter of Mr Somerfield's was referred to the Endowment Committee. THE DOCK CONTRACTORS. An application from Messrs Owen Jones and Co. for the use of the dredge was referred to the Works Committee to report to the Board. Another application from the same firm was also referred to the Works Committee. CUSTOMHOUSE-STREET. A letter from the Mayor asking the Har bour Board to pay half the cost of repairing Breakwater road and Customhouse-street. Mr Cosgrave moved that the request be granted. Mr Mays called attention to the fact that the amount being over £50 it w»s against the standing orders. The question was ultimately adjourned. THE DOCK ..-.-j- :.-», A letter was read horn Mr Erringfcon (already published) calling attention to certain statements which had been made in the Evening Star relative to the altera tion of the Dock site, and asking for a Com mittee of Enquiry into the same. The Chairman said he was sorry to say that this was the first occasion in which the conduct of a gentleman employed by them had been called in question. If this had been a direct charge their course would have been clear, but as it was the committee would have to feel their way very carefully. As the gentleman had asked for an enquiry, they could not very well refuse him. He proposed " That a committee consisting of Messrs Campbell, Holdship, Boylan, Meyers, and the mover be appointed a committee for the purpose." $ Mr 0 Mays thought that the importance of the subject demanded a Bpecial meeting. ||Af fcer some discussion the Chatrman|»ltered his motion to the following : " That a special mooting of the Board be held on Tuesday next at half past two o'clock to enquire into the charges made against Mr Errington." This was seconded by Mr Meyers and carried. Mr Brett asked if the press would be ad mitted. The Chairman said if it was a full meeting they would certainly be admitted. VICTORIA WHARF. The Committee oa the application of Mr Mays, agreed to extend the addition to Victoria Wharf, North Shore, 15 feet at an extra cost of £60. Some other unimportant business con cluded the meeting.

Worms imme diately dropped his basket in the hotel, and ran after him, but before he could catch him Metcher had found shelter in the house of his son in Cross-street. The chase is repre sented by a witness as a most exciting one. Worms gave information to Constable Gam ble, who found Fletcher under a bed in his son's house.

The want of proper Steamer Accomodatlon between Auckland, Thames, and Coromandel has been severe ly felt for so considerable a time that the Projectors of this Comp»ny now propose to form a Joint Stock Company (Limited), for the purpose of having a Boat built expressly for passenger and cargo traffic, not only to meet the pressing demands of trade, but with suen increased speed as to limit the passage to and from Auckland to four hours. A contract at once to bo entered into with Messrs Fraser & Tinne, Auck land, for a First-class Iron Boat, replete with every modern improvement and accomodalion, to be ready. by December next, and estimated to cost £11,000., The nominal capital of the Company is estimated at £12,600, £1,500 being allowed to meet contingencies.' The guarantee, as regards the new Boat, to be as follows :—t-peed to be 12knots per hour; and fer every knot leas than 12 knots per hour, her builders to forfeit at the rate of £1,000 per knot Should the; speed of the Boat xceed 12 knots, the builders to receive a bonus of £1,000 for every knot'over 12 knots per hour : such bonus to bo taken up in shares in the: new Company. It will thus be observed that the Projectors mean to provide the accommodation required so much by the; public, at the same time to have a Company which will give to Shareholders a handsome return for the capital invested* The number of European inhabitants in the Hauraki district being over 15,000, with the large settled populations at Coromandel and Thames, and the growing districts of Tairua, Ohinemuri and Piako; and the immediate prospect of a large addition,: through the development of gold mining and agricul tural intarests (as well as the large native population,; who form a considerable item in passenger traffic),' provide a field for the enterprise of the projected Steam Company second to none in New Zealand. ; POE THE WIN T E E.1 NEW GOODS! &r NEW GOODS!
