MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF SALT.
Dr. Stevens, an eminent physician of London,
has recently made certain discoveries relating
to the diseased and healthy state of the blood,
and the agency of salt upon the circulation,
which seem likely to produce a great revolution
in the treatment of fevers and malignant disea
ses in general.
It is well known that the blood of the arteries
is of a bright crimson color, w hile that of the
veins, which is returning to the heart, after hav
ing spent its vivifying influence, is of a dark pur
ple. According to Dr Stevens, the bright red
color, the vitality and the stimulating power of
the arterial blood, are all dependent on the
quantity of salt which enters into its composition;
w hile all acids and alkalies, and, in general, all
poisons, tend to blacken the blood, to reduce its
stimulating powers, and of course to diminish
the force ofits circulation. The purple color of
the venous blood is owing to the carbonic acid it
has imbibed. In the lungs, the oxogen of the at
mosphere removes this deleterious acid, and the
circulating fluid then resumes its bright scarlet
appearance.
According to this theory, poisons, and those
malignant disorders, such as the marsh fever,
yellow fever, &c. which originate from the pa
tient having imbibed a febrile poison, are, in
their very last stages, accompanied with a black
ness and stagnation of the blood, occasioned by
the destruction of its saline principle; and to
cure the patient, this saline principle must be
restored.
Take, for instance, the bite of a rattle-snake.
In this case, the poison of the serpent’s fang
mingles with the circulation, destroys its red
color, and its vitality, brings on blackness of
the blood, stagnation of its current, convulsions,
and death. The untailing antidote, which ex
perience has taught the Indian to apply, is to
scarify the wound to the bottom, and to fill it
with salt. This salt is taken into the circulation,
restores the redness and vitality of the blood,
and the wound soon heals. Malignant fevers,
and other malignant disorders, operate in the
same way. They begin by destroying the color
and vitality of the blood, and reducing it to a
black and putrid mass; and, says Dr. Stevens,
I have seen patients, in the last stages of these
disorders, recover under the internal use of
large doses of common salt and other saline
agents, where the cases at first were so hopeless,
that their recovery afterwards appeared to be
almost a miracle.
The climate fever of southern reigions, and
some other fevers, are produced in u different
way; a cold climate requires a different con
stitution from a warm one. In the cold climate,
the digestive organs are more vigorous, and the
blood is rich, stimulating and fall of salts. 1 he
blood in southern climates is of less brilliant co
lor, thinner, and less impregnated with saline
substances. When the constitution of a north
ern stranger is suddenly exposed to the influ
ence of a southern climate, nature hastens to ,
produce the necessary change in circulation,
and this change is generally accompanied with
an awful disease. While the skin performs its
functions of perspiration, there is no danger;
but the moment perspiration becomes obstruct
ed, from imprudent exposure to the cold night
air, or any other reason, the fever breaks out.—
The cause is. that the blood is too stimulating,
too full of salt; and the danger is, lest this op
eration of nature, for reducing it, should be car
ried too far, and the blood so much blackened
and weakened, that the patient dies from mere
exhaustion. These disorders, therefore, ac
cording to Dr. Stevens, in their first stages re
quire the acid, in their latter stages the saline
treatment. „ _ ,
If this theory of Dr. Stevens be true, a great
step has been made in the treatment of febrile
and malignant disorders; and certainly the uni
versal use of salt as an indispensible article of
diet, as far back as history carries us, and the
craving which even animals, both wild and
tame, exhibit for it, would tend to prove that
this condiment has some universal and essen
tial effect on the bodily constitution.
War on the Canal—In obedience to the re
quisition of the Governor of this State, the Presi
dent has ordered two companies of the United
States Troops to the line of the Canal with or
ders promptly to suppress all violent proceed
ings. One of the companies from Fort Mc
Henry, under the command of Capt. Mackey,
fully equipped, with fixed ammunition, maga
zine &c. passed through this city, via the Rail
road, on Thursday. They are a body of fine
looking men, and excited much admiration.—
They arrived at Williamsport yesteiday, and
will remain as long as their sei vices aie deemed
necessary.
Nearly thirty of the rioters were apprehended
in the vicinity of Berlin, and lodged in the jail of
the county on Thursday last.
On the arrival of the troops from Baltimore in
the Rail road Cars, we were forcibly impressed
with the great benefit which would result to the
I country from railroads in case ot an invasion.
For, with what ease could several thousand men
be concentrated at one point, without fatigue,
fresh and ready for battle, on their arrival; in
stead of being dragged over muddy roads, and
so much fatigued, when their services are re
quired, that all the chances of “glorious war5
might slip whilst they were recruiting.

Statistics.—The city councils of Baltimore hav
ing recently called on the board of trustees of the
poor of that city, for information touching the
number, character and circumstances of the in
mates of the poor house, received in return a
report exceedingly explicit, and, we should
entcfar'tnvv Wp make a few extracts:
For the period of one year, the records of the
house show, that of 879 admitted, and born in
the house, there were,
Intemperate adults, 583
Temperate adults, 150
Habits unknown do. 24
Children of temperate parents, 49
Do of intemperate do 62
Do parents’habits unknown, 11
879
Here is a pretty display of intemperance, and
it ought to be remarked, that none are entered
on that list who are not steady hands, getting
drunk whenever they can get liquor.
There were born and admitted within the year,
Under one year 30 From 40 to 50 112
From 1 to 10 years, 88 “ 50 to 60 67
“ 10 to 20 “ 73 “ 60 to 70 44
“ 20 to 30 “ 229 “ 70 to 80 27
“ 30 to 40 “ 196' “ 80 to 90 11
S79
From this statement, it appears that of the whole
number admitted, 537 were between the ages ol
20 and 50, who therefore should be in the vigor
of life; and most of whom might, but from their
habits of intemperance, abundantly support
themselves.
We should say, that such a record as the
above ought to be a most affecting sermon upon
temperance.— U. S. Gaz.
“ Cat out nf the Bag”— The followingextract
of a letter from a person high in the confidence
of Gen. Jackson, and constant in his intercourse
with the President at Washington, to a very
confidential friend in this city, dtvelopes the
ulterior views of the managers. Its authentici
ty may be relied upon:
’ “Tell C. to keep quiet; things will go as he
wishes. Be careful, in your resolutions to be
presented at the Tamany Hall meeting not to
have any thing in favor of a new Bank; do not re
fer atall to such a project. Our intention is, first,

done, we shall bring forward a plan for a new
bank to be located in the city of New York.—
We dare not do it now, for fear of alarming
certain members of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture, and there are fourteen with us on the de
posite question. After the vote.is taken, we
can reconcile them, and make certain arrange
ments with the bank as to an extension of their
time, and a final transfer of stock to the new in
stitution. The plan is by no means definitively
arranged, but it will be done. I agree with you
that a"movement must be made on the subject.
Keep quiet.”—N. V. Star.
Mrs. Bradstr eeVs suits.—In the United States
District Court for the Northern District of New
York; sitting at Albany, the case of Martha
Bradstreet vs. A polios Cooper, involving the
title to the land on which a great part of the ci
ty of Utica is built, was brought to a conclusion
on Tuesday last, after occupying the Court for
six days. The jury, having remained in con
sultation the whole of Tuesday night, came into
court on Wednesday morning, stating that
they had not agreed on a verdict, and that it
was their opinion they could not agree. By
the consent of counsel they were discharged.

We submit the above statements without com
ment, believing that the mere exhibition of the
facts will excite all those reflections in which
we might be disposed to indulge.
The effort made by Mr. Selden, of New York,
to have the great New York Memorial referred
to a Select Committee, with power to send for
persons and papers, failed. Mr. Polk’s motion
to send it to the Committee of Ways and Means
was carried, by a vote of 113 to 90.
The debate on this subject was long and ani
mated. We consider the result as indicative,
somewhat, of the vote on the main question.
The spirit with which this memorial was re
ceived by the party, is shown by the fact of the
Globe’s speaking of “ the opposition having
“ brought the delegation of the whole aristocra
ts V/.IH V/M-lr flift ]r\KKioc U A’ n Ar r> . tViot

is, the great body of the active merchants, me
chanics and traders of New York compose the
ct whole aristocracy” of that city. We presume
the hard-working signers of the memorial will
be astonished to find themselves christened
C{ aristocrats.”
We annex the ayes and noes upon the ques
tion. Mr. Selden was sustained by Mr. Wilde,
Mr. Gorham, Mr. Patton, and others. Mr. Polk
was backed by Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Baylies, M;.
Wayne, and others.
The question on referring the memorial to the
Committee of WTays and Means, was put, and
decided in the affirmative, as follows:

By a notice in the Washington papers, yes

It is currently reported, that the Philadelphia

Among the appropriations for the naval ser
vice of the year 1831. is one of Jive thousand dol
lars for carrying into effect the acts lor the sup
pression of the Slave trade, including the sup
port in the United States, and for a term not ex
ceeding six months after their arrival in Africa,
of all persons removed from the United States
under the said acts.
The New York Evening Star, of Friday, says:
“ It is computed that more than half a million

indulgent in times like the present.”
The Legislative council of the Territory of
Michigan, now in session at Detroit, have elect
ed John McDowell, Esq. to be their President,
and John Norvell, Esq. to be their Secretary.
That flourishing Territory, we have reason to
believe, will, in the course of twelve months,
become the twenty-fifth state of the Union.
Extract of a letter to a Mercantile House in
Philadelphia, dated Louisville, Jan. 16th, 1834:
“ The times in this, as in other places farther
West, are truly mournful. The withdrawal of
the public deposites from the Bank of the Unit
ed States, and the manner in which the adminis
tration are persecuting that institution, will be the
ruin of this place. Money is worth, in real es
tate, 25 per cent.”
Specie.—The New York Journal of Commerce
of Saturday says: “ The U. S. ship Falmouth,
from Valparaiso, is below, with a large amount
of specie on board.”
At another trial to elect a Representative to
Congress in the Ninth Congressional District of
Mass., the result appears to have been the same 1
as at the several preceeding trials: that is, no 1

didate, having, as at the last trial, the greatest 1
number of votes; and Gen. Dearborn, the late i
Representative, the next highest, he having a t
majority of nearly a thousand votes over Mr.
Thurber, the Jackson candidate. 1
Very late from Buenos Ayres.—The fast sail- ^

thirty seven days from Buenos Ayres. She ,
