Editor By your last issue, I see you report the Spotted Fever as having made its appearance on Grouse creek, and as it may make its appearance in Winfield any day, I hereby transmit to you for insertion, the statements of one of the most eminent and successful physicians in the United States, upon that malady believing it may be of service to many, if follow The Bonds Carried "by 300 "WINFIELD COTJEIEE But let it be generally known throughout the countv that the THE CARS COMING II "Veritable Paul have reached us. Queries reaching from the roof down to the inmost recesses of the cashier's department have poured' in upon us, and in deference to the wide wish we present a few replies. The Sunday edition was one hundred and fifty thousand copies. The number consisted of twenty pages, that is one hundred and twenty of which seventy -eight were advertisments and forty-two reading matter. A detail which will be perfectly new to nonprofessionals is, that to produce one hundred and fifty thousand full copies it was necessary to take nine hundred thousand impressions.

To accomplish this, in the short time allowed, five rotary Hoe' presses of eight and ten cylinders each and two Bullock perfecting presses were kept rolling off one thousand impressions prr minute. To drive those huge presses two engines of eighty-horse power are kept motion by burning six tons of. coal in the furnaces. To form the stereotype plates for the cylinders eight tons of type metal were melted down to cast one hundred and forty-eight plates, weighing when finished and dressed thirty-eight pounds each. The ink on a single copy would not be taken into consideration by the average observer, but it required seven hundred and twenty-five pounds to keep lie keep constantly on hand a large and well eelecied stock of is among us with a and JcTb Office-; FRESH STOCK OF GROCERIES 1I12I.F HARDWARE, Heating and Cooking Stovo' and as usual Blacksmith and 3Ictfianicv Tools, Iron.

"Spotted fever is a disease that has been known at different times, to exist in this country since the year 1815. By some it is called brain fever, by others cerbreo-epinal meningitis, a horrible technical term, used by physicians to describe ibflamation of portions of theJrain, but is so vaguely used as to determine nothing of its essential nature. The premonitory symptoms of the fever, usually are as follows: First, a chill, confining itself, however, chiefly to the region of the back bone or spinal marrow. The person feels a shiver-ering sensation which he cannot overcome, even tho' he sits with his back to a hot fire. Immediately following this chill, come on pains in the legs, the groins, around the lower bowel, tending upward till they reach the stomach, when nausea is felt vomiting often ensues, to be followed by a very great pain of a neuralgic character in the temples, running up to the top of the head and passing backward into the nape of the neck and locating itself where the first sensation of the chill was felt, a circuit has thus been made disturbing the entire circulation.

When the disease first appeared in the United States, and for many years after, phj'sicians resorted to bleeding, to the giving of purgatives, blisters, emetics, and the like. Every one of these processes only tended to the death of the patient at length the physicians came to understand that depletion of the process of the body in any way causing devitalization of it, was a deadly instead of a curative operation." iSbw AGRICULTURAL IMPL'MENTS, AOAlJCST.

Placing the four hundred and fifty thousand sheets so as to form a square they would coyer five hundred and fifty-two million square inches, or eighty-eight acres. That is more than all the open square and parks of the city if exclusive of Central Park.

The area or printed matter would be, of course, one hundred and seventy-six acres, and five such issues wouldcover Central Park. As a track of printed matter, two pages wide, one such issue would reach to Quebec. We have already stated that the advertisements on Sunday filled seventy-eight columns. They covered every line of business and consisted of two thousand nine hundred and sixty-two separate advertisements. Some idea will be formed of the machinery to get those advertisements into shape when it is stated that over twenty thousand words of "ads" were transmitted on Saturday from the uptown and Brooklyn branches to this office by ten telegraph operators over the Heraltfs wires.

We could multiply these curious details through a great many columns of the Herald, but for the present these must suffice.

These blotches are indications of curative effort on the part of the organism, clearly showing that nature is endeavoring to carry off through the external capillary circulation powrefully acrid waste matters with which the system has become clogged.

It is therefore obvious that the first treatment needded is for the Opening of the pores of the skin. Hence in all cases where a chill begins with pain in the limbs, the best thing to be done is to give the patient a sweat. This may be accomplished by sitting him down in a tub of hot water with his feet in another small tub or keeler, the water be-incr as hot as he can comfortably bear it, to be increased in degree after he has sat in it awhile, covering him np with blankets, putting a wet cloth on his head and keeping that cool, and lettinghim sweat quite freely then taking him ont and putting him into a cool wet sheet pack, and wrapping him up well in blankets and comfortables, and letting him lie until the skin becomes natural in its temperature-, he being sensibly and pleasantly warm then take him out of the pack and give him a good cool towel or dripping sheet wash put abdominal bandages onto him and let him rest awhile.

In this way, not one person in five hundred who should have Spotted fever would die, unless he were in exceedingly scrofulous condition and his blood and tissues had become so foul by bad habits as to be incapable of undergoing functional modification by treatment.

There are persons who, if they have Spotted fever will die under any form of treatment, because they are so defTTed in blood and testine of body, that when specific poison, like that which causes the fever, enter their circulation it disorganizes the blood and testines. One of the best remedies for Spotted fever, therefore is in living so ferref ully that, tho' exposed to it, as to small-pox, or any other form of disease, the vital resista-nce shall be so abundaut and strong in the body that death can ensue.
