Dr. Henry Bowditch writes as j follows in .the ast number of the AtlAtitiq Monthly; j; It was our fortune to ! attend a jaan slowly dying of consumption, who, while hopelessly aiid helplessly ill, was . devotedly pared for j by his wife,, wboat the time felt herself, and seemed to be, in perfect health. Years after her husband s death, and when bravely battling against the disease Which commenced: its insidious; attacks immediately subsdquest to his death, she related Biiereiaiea fn wintry nights, that'faithful woman would arise from the side of her husband, who was lying with his dress drenched with the chilling sweat of increasing disease, and would persuade him to tke jher warm elbtbing and lie down in. the dry warn place she had just left, while,; simply throwing a blanket over itJ she would take the ;spot prey iously occupied by him. Upon our er- picBoiu a norror at me muumi-iue uaner she had;rnn, and which apparebtly had told with so mucU power upon, her, she quietly rieinarked that shef kn.e.w at the time the danger she was incurring. She' had no thought' of danger to herself, and only! of - her husband's comfort. 'But," added she, "I then got what I ticver re covered jfroni.'' A certain vitality seemed to go out of her ; and: although her nature contended for, many years against the encroachments of the diseaseJshe finally' died, always believing that she hadf taken consumption from her husband, but with a certain uiaityr-like joy that such had really been the fact. We liave now in our mind other and analogous cases, as for example,' husbands having their first couh wheta ;tkinhaling' the breath j of their sick wives," while ministering to their necessw ties. 1 We have- known! daughters and sisters, who, full of apparent health and strength, when consumption has seized a mother or sister, hiave continued to sleep with the invalid and to breathe the .same closed up atmosphere at night, and to watch all day without, perhaps, a moment of healthful out-of-door exercise. jAhd we have been: distressed to find not a few of such healthy young persons gradually beginning to suffer with inaigestion, aeouity, ana nnaiiy cougn, anu an the symptoms" jof ; consumption. In sjsome in stanceSj.vn fact the attendant has died before the life df , the original patient has ended! These facts areij very Significant, and although we1 are well awaje that, in some of them, other elements of disease may!, have had -their fatal influence, still the cases have been full of suggestions as to the necessity of greater precaustionsthaa we, in this country, have usually taken in this matter.

There is a phil bsophical reason of this. When a stici is split 'slab fashion' the parts are separated jbetween the annual concentric circles of the trcel ono of which is I formed every growinc: season! Th nion between these annual layers, or rinml of ood, is not so perfect as it is between th articles which i fori a rine or circle of the wood. nexperi4nced laborers -and boys do not' always nderstand how much ad van tan ire may le taken ' f their hard labor, when splitting woodj bjiin erstandmg this fact. ben & log is sawed in to: short cuts, for example, to be split into fire- WOOU, IWO 1X0 WeUgeS iflna 8 DCCtJO vfouia oa ncbessaryf to open a cut through the heart ' But by taking off thin slabs, most of the splitting may .
