Especially is this the ease with pulmonary diseases. The conclusion reached many years ago by the elder Or. Hanlv that eonsiunpl does not origin ate here not merely in Aslieville, but in tin- mountains seems to lie confirmed hy every vear's experience and observation True, there arc lew of us who have not li.i.l observation on the slow, insidious deadlv march of consumption, the will ing and fading of some fair flower ol hu manity, Uic sapping of strength in some l-;,.l,t vicroroiis vouth. Hut it was not climate, but "the worm in the bud whicl lay concealed" until the time for develo incut came. Acting upon Ir. Hardy' idea, there has been nUclhgent eye turiici iiioti Western North Carolina; close ob servation and scientific investigation un til .'imnllir the most intelliijcnl of tin 1'ncullY whose interests and labors hav Wen most sedulously dieeeted to pul uionarv all'cctions, this section, and more especially Ashevillc, has been selected a the focus of the remedial climatic agency Ashevillc because it is in the centre ol small area ol drv atmosphciic condition ..1 U-riiiisc of its rcadv aeccssibili ty, anil the concentration upon it, town of 10,01)1) or more inhabitants,! the comforts, conveniences and medic: skill naturally to be found in a town m-li size and such extensive intercom ? with the other parts of the country h.- verv sillv to sav that the same climatic advantages are not lound else where around us. ll is simply because in addition to these, there arc here loam thecombinu I ion of those conveniences a in facilities which only attend a large popn lation. The recognition ol Ashevillc as this i ,.,ii;.iHv favorable ooinl hasdrawn hithc gentlemen of the medical faculty wh have made pulmonary affeelionsa specia ty. Some of these have established saui tariunis where patients may find com forlahlc and luxurious homes, and at the same time have the unremittingatlculion of their physicians. Some of these pa tients arc designedly sent here by then home physicians; others come in thai general, vague search alter w hat is so often irrecoverable; and, of these, some do regain health, and return home new and happy witnesses to the remedial vir tues of our mountain climate. I ithcrs, alas! Dr. Karl von Kueli, a gentleman of very high scientific attainment, has, within the past vcar, established a sanitarium here which combines every possibly ad vantage, great beauty of location, ampli tude of grounds, capaciousness ol build ing, extent of accommodation, cointort rooms, excellence of table, combined with the constant supervision of experienced scientific treatment. He has recently pub lished a treatise on "the Management ol Pulmonary Phthisis," which is useful and intelligible reading, even for a layman. From it, wc take the liberty of making the following extracts, bearing more di rectly upon the sanitary nsiect of Ashe villc: For climatic advantages, in my choice of places. 1 was somewhat governed by tin-resnhs obtained in eases sent away from private practice which arc recorded in Table No. 1. I selected Ashevillc, N.

Dr.'C.leitsmann, of Ncr York Dr. L'haille. of New Orleans, Drs. I.loyd Scgur, of Brooklyn, and others, was pre viously well established. Hefore the pre paration of this paper 1 again examined the records of deaths for the city ot Ashe villc during the year past, and with con siderableexiiemfitiircofliine, investigated the nativity and history of each of the 11 deaths from phthisis, which appear in these records; 1 find that ot these cases then occurred in persons who came to Ash,-ville for their health from a distance anil onlv one. a negro, can l)c considered a resident. We have therefore, no deaths from phthisis among the white popula tion nt all. and onlv one out a popula tion of over 10.000 inhabitants. The death-rate from all causes is very low reim-inllv among the whites, the city is -lr.-in. and the recent completion of thorough system of sewerage, the pre MIV nf trood water works with filters ami the establishment of an efficient health board with a competent medical m.m for its executive otticer, leaves little to be desired from a sanitary point ol view: now the city government will need to deal with the improvements needed in street and sidewalks, and tne rstnhlishment of a public park to make Asheville one of the leading resorts foa pulmonary diseases in me unncu oiui.es, The Democratic party has found most unexpectedly an ally, and a powerful, though unconscious one, in the person of Commissioner Tanner. A party out of power can ask nothing more advantage ous to its interests than that the oppo- ... -ii .... ncnt, the party m power, snau ik. brought into contempt. This, a subor dinate, is effectively doing by taking the b:t in his teeth, running the innsion bu reau to suit himself, making numberless friends of the mammon ol unrighteous- ss, and driving the President and N.-C- retarv Noble crazy wun uesp.ui mad capers he is cutting, lor all the ,uin that is coining, Mr. Harrison is himself responsible, lie put 'lannerm dace; and he put him, with the grand irniv of pensioners to back him, in a place where he is stronger man ine . io- iilent hhnscll. 1 aimers antics aic .is grotesque as those ol the monkey on the man of war w ho scampered to me iii.isi i 1 ,.-;tli the admiral's can on his head.
