" I have seven devils in my belly," said he; " no fewer than seven." "'There are more than seven," replied the Doctor, with the , o 'most gravity ; " if you count them right yon will find eight." I Ater questioning the patient concerning his case, he promised to cure him in eight days, during which time he would every morning rid him of one of his troublesome inmates at the rate of one Louis d'or each. " But," added he, " as the last will he inech more obstinate and difficult to expel than the others, I shall expect two louis d'ors for him." The farmer agreed to tleme•terms ; the bargain was struck, and the Doctor impressing upon all present the necessity of secrecy, promised to give the rune Louis (I'c:ors to the poor of the parish. Next morning the , imaginary demoniac was brought to him, and placed near a' kind . of machine which he had never seen before, by means of ' which he received an electric shock.
