SUSPENSION IRON CHAIN OF THE 13TH CENTURY.
—M. Navier speaks of a chain stretched across between two
rocks that command the town of Mourtiers, in the department
de Basses Alpes. It is 656 feet long, and made of rods about
2 feet 11,4 inch long, and :Y4 inch diameter, hooked one to the
other without any intermediate links. The date of its erection
is not certain, but it is supposed to belong to the 13th century.
It does net, however, appear to have been ever intended for a
bridge, but is thought by some to have been an offering to the
Virgin to obtain protection against being overwhelmed by the
rocks that overhang it. By others it is attributed to a knight
of Rhodes, who is supposed to have erected it in consequence of
a vow made during his captivity the holy laud. The iron is
said not to be inked by rust.— 71ile Builder.
A WOMAN ROASTED ALIVE BY A QUACK DOCTOR.
—The following horrible event is said to have occurred very
recently in the parish of Kinault, Flanders :—A short time
ago, a woman suffering from a rheumatic disorder consulted an
itinerant quack doctor, who found means to put an end to
her sufferings with all the forms which the most atrocious
barbarity could have imagined. The following is, we be-
lieve, an exact report of his verbal prescription. " The part
affected must be covered with a mixture compounded of
brandy and gunpowder in a state of ignition ; two persons
must hold the woman till the perfect combustion and ex-
tinction of the mixture, and are to pay no attention to the
cries uttered by her, for if a radical cure is to be effected, it is
necessary that the action of the fire should take place on the
whole surface in a state of disease. Fear nothing ! All will
go well ! Adieu I" This ordonnance, made with that affecta.
tion of gesture and language familiar to this class of mounte-
banks, was executed to the letter, and even with a slight
addition, for in order to compel their victim to be silent, the
barbarous assistants brutally disfigured the face of the un-
happy woman in different places during the execution of the
prescription. After this operation, which only lasted one hour,
there remained but an inanimate corpse. The skin of the
thighs and abdomen were completely peeled off, and the flesh
charred and blackened. The body was hastily buried, and en-
deavours made to stifle any reports of this act of inhuman
cruelty getting into circulation ; but the Procureur du Boi
having been informed of the affair, sent a surgeon, who, after the
exhumation and inspection of the body, declared the woman
had been roasted to death.— Gazette Medicale Bags.
[ADVERTISEMENT.)—AN AUTHENTICATED CURE
OF A FEARFUL CASE or PILES, NV HOLLOWAY'S PILLS
AND OINTMENT I—John Thompson. Esq., the very respect-
able editor of the Armagh Guardian, an Irish newspaper,
vouches as to the fact of an extraordinary cure of a case ofbiles,
of a most distressing nature, and of some years' standing, which
was effected by these medicines when every other means had
failed. The person alluded to is a gentleman of large estate and
great influence in the County of Armagh. No one need suffer
very long from piles, fistula, and what is termed " a bearing
down," if they have recourse to these far-famed remedies. Sold
by most of the respectable chemists throughout the civilised
world, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand,
London.
