ILLS OF THE FLESH.
Their Causes, Nature and Treatment
Discussed by Doctors.
An Interesting Day's Session of the
Stato Medical Society—Tho
Evening Reception.
Yesterday was the third and last day of
the session of the State Medical Society,
and the members assembled as usual in
tho Senate chamber. It was considera
bly after 10 o'clock before President Ciu
ness rapped the meeting to order.
The Chairman of the Hoard of Censors
reported favorably on the application of
Dudley Tait for admission to member
ship, and he was unanimously elected.
The Chairman announced that the first
order of business would be the reading
of a paper by Dr. David Powell on the
"Prophylaxis of Diseases in Children."
The doctor saiel there had been no
marked epidemic among children in Cal
ifornia during the past year. Diphtheria
had bein prevalent to a great extent in
some portions of the coast, and the sani
tary condition of these district- was no
doubt accountable ior the disease. He
related how he had successfully cured
patients of the disease, and stated that
eminent physicians declared that persons
could be vaccinated against it.
In regard to scarlet fever, the doctor
paid that during the past year the State
had enjoyed a remarkable Immunity
from the disease. Whooping couch
caused but very few deaths during tne
year, and dysentery among children in
Bummer was'hardly ever found to result
fatally, as inthe Eastern States. H has
been estimate.l tliat at least •_'' per cent, of
deaths among children under one year of
age, and 11 per cent, among children
under live years, resulted from convul
sions, which were brought about by feed
ing the chiid witli indigestible food. Of
the 13,034 deaths in Calilornia during tlie
past year, 3,246 were children under ten
years of age, a remarkably large propor
tion, and all due to preventible diseases.
Preventive measures for diphtheria were
imperative!y demanded.
VIEWS OP A WO MAX.
The paper was referred to the Com
mitteeon Publication and tlio discussion
was opened by Dr. Charlotte B. Brown.
She staled that the large number of deaths
of children under live years of aire waa
cause for some alarm among the people.
In her experience she bad noticed that
the infant which was allowed to nibble
many times a day, taking a very slight
amount of nourishment each time, soon
developed a small stomach and was com
pelled to take nutriment often in order to
satisfy itself, she did not believe in
allowing the baby to sleep out ot doors.
A good live child could inhale more I
Oxygen in ten minutes while awake than j
In two liours of sleep.
Then, again, she did not think a lot of
chattering nurse girls congregated about I
the baby-carriage did the least bit of
good, and It was certainly the custom in
our fashionable neighborhoods.
!>r. Brown's paper was also referred to
the Committee on Publication.

bers of the Board of Examiners was pro

DKFORX-TZES IN DHIIaDBBJf.
I>r. 11. X. Miner's paper on "The Surgi
cal Disease lof Children" was read by the

plained the different methods to be em

child, and diseases which develop shortly
after birth.
The paper was referred to the Publica
tion Committee.
NSW MKMHKKS.

TREATMENT OF HIP DISEASES,
Dr. W. H. Sherman of San Francisco

Conditions In Connection with Hip-joint
Diseases," and he gave tiie society some
valuable information in regard to opera
tions which he performed recently in
BS ot hip disease. His paper was also
ordered printed.
THK NEXT BESSION.
I>r. Plummer presented a recommend
ation from the Executive Committee, ad
vising that the National Medical Asso
ciation be invited to hold its convention
in 1892 in San Francisco, and suggesting
that the California delegation in Wash
ington be asked to urge the association to
come to the coast.
The recommendation was adopted
unanimously.
"< >>< AINK Al»l)H'TION"
Was the title of a paper read by Dr. EL G.
Brainerd, of Los Angeles. He sail that at
present there are 8,000,000 people in the
•World know n to be addicted to the co
caine habit, and it is recognized as the
third scourge of America—the alcohol
and opium habits alone outranking it.
The victim is easily distinguished by the
yellowish color of his skin, his sunken
eyes, encircled with purplish flesh, Ids
unsteady gait and noticeable nervousn
The effects of the deadly drug are plainly
to be noticed alter the unfortunate has
used it for two or three weeks. He be
gins to get restless, is unable to Bleep ;o
night, and frequently imagines thai he is
being pursued by an unknown enemy.
Once the user ofthe drug begins to crave
it, he constantly requires more and more
to satisfy him, and some use as much as
thirty grains a day.
Dr. Bra-nerd's paper was also ordered
pi luted.
ITS TKKATMKNT.
I)r. Gardner, of the Napa Insane Asy
lum, explained the manner in which he
treated patients sent to that Institution
who were addicted to the morphine or co
caine habit, lie did not believe in taking
the drug away from them all at once, but
Ln a gradual manner, which would cause
Ihe patient leas pain and Buffering, and at
the same time be an act of humanity. He
did not believe the vicious habit would
ever be banished until husbands began to
reflect on the miseries they caused their
Wives by vicious indulgence and the risk
: au in raising children.
Jle knew or a ease where a father, who
was a heavy drinker, raised a family of
•iitoeii children —eight by one wife, and
eight by another. Fourteen of his little
ones died in convulsions, and tho other
two were ailiicted with hereditary dis
-0 M'KKNINU INSOMNIA.
Dr. M. P. Price's paper On "Insomnia*'
Occupied over half an boor in its reading.
He held that sleep is just as necessary to
the maintenance of life as the taking of
food, and a person denied sleep for three
Weeks will as a general rule die. Insom
nia was one of the chief causes of insan
ity.
A roOQH was taken until 2 p. M.
Alternoon Session.
The lirst business taken up at the arter
noon bi swion was the reading pf l>r. J. I >.
HJ'- 's paper on 'toch's and
Leibrich's Treatment of Tuberculosis."
He said he had hoped to be able to an
nounce tO the society that that dread dis
ease, consumption, had met its Waterloo.
He had hoped to announce thai the
lymph would be a cure of consumption,
hut he was compelled to acknowledge
defeat He used it in the County Hos
pital in San Francisco, and lie had not
noticed any cures from its careful use.
[n certain cases there was a slight im
provement in the condition of the pa
tients, and he believed that Koch's
lymph might be effective in newly-de
veloped cases Of consumption, but in ad
vanced stages of the disease the lymph
was not found effective in tlie least
Liebrteh'a lymph had also been tried,
and although there had been no cures
from its nee, decided improvement was
noticed in several cases.
In regard to hysteria, the doctor said
there watt no doubt but that physicians.
in dealing with such cases, ought to ad
minister for a physical disease, and not
an imaginary complaint. Out of fifty
six cases, he had been successful in
effecting the cure of forty-six patients
by appliances of electricity.
'After Dr. Hirschfelder bad finished the
reading of his paper, Dr. W. W. Kerr
spoke on tho subject, relating his experi
ence with the lymph, and agreeing tliat
no complete cures had been elfected by its
use. In almost every case the injection
of the lymph brought out an eruption
similar to that seen in a case of measles.
While ho could not say that his experi
ments with the lymph "proved that it was
of no value at all. yet he could assert
positively that it was of no use for diag
nosis.
Drs. Wythe and Bailhaclie made re
marks coinciding with Dr. Kerr in his
views. Dr. Shiels said he had not the
least conlidence in the lymph.
lIYGIKNK AND ADUI.TEUATION.
The Secretary was called upon to read
the composition of Dr. A. H. Agard of
Oakland on the subject of "State Medi
cine and Hygiene, and Adulteration of
Foods and Drugs,'' and it was referred to

matology and Venereal Diseases" was or

sis, Resulting from Injury," was read by

A Chinese Butcher Shuffle- OfT tho
Mortal (oil.
Lee Iluey Wah, a member of a leading
butcher ilrm in < fcinatown. took an over
dose ol opium and was found dead in his
room yesterday morning, in the rear of
the store of t.uong Tong Long &. Co., at
IOTA Third street.
At 8 o'clock in tlie morning a couple of
Chinamen passed by the place and no
ticed a light burning in the dingy little
room he occupied. Tbey gained entrance
and found him writhing in agony in his
bed, but instead of doing anything to re
lieve the sufferer, they stood and gazed at
him.
Finally a doctor was summoned, but
though tlie stomach-pump was applied,
the patient continued to grow worse, and
died in the afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Several Chinamen who pretend to be
familiar with tlie deceased say that he
was -hort in hi.s accounts, and in all prob
ability took a large dose of opium with
suicidal intent.
RANCHO DEL PASO.
The Periodical "Division"' Rumor
Bobs Up Serenely Ay;_ln.
Ex-Senator Lt. J. Kose of Los Angeles
■pent yesterday at the Rancho del Paao
Inspecting the fino horses of Mr. Haggin.
It was his presence, probably, that gave
the eoleur de rose to the periodical rumor
that the Haggin Grant is to be divided up
and sold.
Something over a quarter of a century
ago the place was colonized, but it soon
reverted to tlie owner and once more
became a cow and sheep pasture. Some
ten years or more afterwards it \v:„s again
surveyed into eighty-acre tracts, anel
doubtless some of the surveyor's stakes
can still be found.
Sitae Mr. Haggin made it a breeding
farm, he manages to use a goodly portion
Of it, the rest being leased to farmers;
but if anybody wished to buy any of his
land, no doubt lie would sell them some.

A CAPAY COLONY.
Busy Fruit-Growers in a Pretty
Yolo Valley—Tancred and Its
Adjoining Farms.
TN THE SPRING OF LAST YEAR
Robert A. and Neal D. Barker associated
themselves with William McKay, all of Oak
land, with a view of searching out a suitable
location in which to engage in the protitaMo
occupation of fruit-growing. After visiting
many localities, they decided on the Capay
Valley, Yolo County, aud the Rhodes tract at
Tancred.
Negotiations were opened with the Capay
Valley Land Company.Owning the tract in
question. With W. 11. Mills, the General
Agent of that company, they arranged for the
purchase of about 220 acres of foothill land
This being more tlmn they had thought of
taking tor their own use, they spoke to a
number of friends about it. with the result
that lhc tract was divided among the follow
in- people: B. L. Iliekok. 40 acres; \V. T.
Barnett. 20 acres; N". T. Greathead, 20 acres;
Mrs. li. Greathead, 20 acres; W. McKay, 20
acres; N. D. Parker, 20 acres; R. A. Barker,
20acres; J.P.Brownlee.2oacres; E. H. llas
l'.tt. 10acres; Joseph Barker, io acres; A. W.
Kelly' lo acres,and Frederick Kelly, io acres.
So far this had been merely a private ven
ture of the gentlemen above named, bat in
talking up tiie question of dividing the land
already purchased, it was found that so many
more would like to join it than the area of the
purchase would admit of, that it was sug
gested on aU hand.;, " Why not set some more
land and divide it up in the same way?"
Then followed the idea of a stock company to
take hold of a larger tract and arrange for the
cultivation of the whole of It, alter subdividing
itooeordlcgto the requirements of the sub
scribers. A provisional board was formed, a
prospectus Nsued. and finally, on the nth of
Juno, 1890, the Western Co-operative Col
onization aud Improvement company was
duly registered and proceeded to business,
with thi following officers: President, Will
iam .McKay; Vice-President, Bf. P. Brown;
Directors—H. C. Ellis. Charles Brooke and
11. A. r, : ,rker; Secretary and General Manager,
Neal 1). Barker; Solicitor, C. E. Snook; Treas
urer. First National Bank of •.>aklaud.
'lin- balanoe ofthe tract. :s?:; acres, was pur
chased. A. contract was entered into for the
purchase ot a lar.e number of fruit trees,
vn.es. etc. Tiiis early purchase Of trees was
the means ot saving between s:i,ooo and
$1,000 to the company, the prices in some
eases having more than doubled since then.
Tbe ide ;s which the prospectus set forth
hay.- been bu: slightly modified and the
progress of tin- company lias been uninter
rupted. Those who went into it doubtingly
have become enthusiastic,and almost all tlie
mcmlx rs ai ranged to set out all their lands in
frnlt tree*, etc, the Brat year. Consequently
in this the Hrst season, some 40,000 trees anil
between :20,000 and 30,000 vines will be
planted.
The satisfactory working of this scheme has
had the eflfeet of attracting considerable at
tention to the work of the Colony Company,
and a number of people are now desirous of
joining in with them. An additional 200
acres have been added to the sixty acres
originally purchased.
For the company is predicted a very bright
future, as well as for tiie beautiful valley in
which their operation- are conducted. How
this marvelous little garden has come to be so
long neglected is a puzzle to every one who
has visited it, but one thing is very sure, nnd
that ls that this neglect will never again be
ft It in the valley.
The fruits get out are mostly ofthe standard
varieties—peaches, apricots, Bartlett pears,
prunes, fitrs. raisin grapes, et •.. while along
both sides of the avenues, throughout the
tract,walnuts will throw their graeeftil shade.
A considerablefnumber ot citrus trees ure also
bring -et ont; quite a sufficient number to
demonstrate that these fruits can be success
fully grown in the valley, about which the
colonists appear to have no doubt, provided
proper ear.'is given to the young trees. Neal
D. Barker, General Manager of the company,
resides on the tract, and to his care is to be as
cribed much of the success ot the venture.
Mention should be made ofthe town-site,
about which there is a pleasant innovation
which might with profit be followed by more
ambition- places. A small \-.v\i ef some three
acres has been laid, out right in the center oi
the town. This park it is proposed to beautify
by planting in it from time to time as many
of the beauties and curiosities of tree ae.d
shrub life as may be obtained by diligent
search and a wise expenditure of money. It
is not expected that Tanered will ever'be a
large and busy city, but it is thought that it
can be made a very pleasant little place to
dwell in.
A petition has been circulated recently and
very largely signed, asking the countyto ac
cept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a
county road, and to build a bridge across
Cache Creek at this point, in order to give the
settlers on the east side of the creek socesi to
Tancred Station. The Tancred colonists are
quite willing to give the necessary right ot
way, and archery desirous of having a bridge
there, as the colony lands extend along both
sides of the stream. It is thought that it
would be a very wise expenditure ot public
money to grant them this very necessary im
provement, as the operations of such com
panies are of widespread benefit to the whole
county and State. The attractions and com
forts of the cities are well known, but to those
who are willing to settle on the land and show
that tlie country also allbrds attractions and
comforts and ways of making money pleas
antly, every inducement should be held forth.
The following is a list of the principal mem
bers of the Tancred Colony, with the number
of acres owned by each, and a fact worthy ot
mention ls that in each contract or deed is
sued hy the Colony Company there is a pro
vision that no intoxicating liquor shall ever
be manufactured or sold on the land. The ap
parent success olthc enterprise shows that
the ideas and plans of the colony, as set forth
