PILL TAKERs.-Thers are people in
the world who physic themsl Ives to death.
We have known men to fee to pills for
relief for every kind OF ill. They had
what may be called q pill mania. Some
of these pill devourers would present q
startling sum total, could they give in
round numbers the amour, taken during
lifetime. We recollect hearing OF one
man, IL the western part of New York
State, the total of whose pill-tsking was
recorded as follows: In twenty-one years
he took 226 ,934, which is at the rate Of
lO,S06 Per year, or 90 per day. He be.
gan, however, it would seem, with mod.
crate appetite, which increased as he
grew older; for during the eight wears
preceding his death-of course be died
he swallowed pills at the rate of seventy.
eight per day! In one year, Just before
he shuftisd off his pill coil, he took not
less than 81 900! The most surprising
part of the story is yet to be told; in ad-
clifton to all the pills above recorded, this
victim swallowed, at various times, some
5O,OO0 bottles of mixtures. These facts
were obtained, we would add, from q
respectable apothecary, near where our
medicine maniac lived from boyhood to
death; and who furnished him with all
be wanted in his line. There Is o ques-
ton in our mind, whether the respectab bic
apothscary, as aforesaid, was not an &C.
cessory to the murder Of his profitable
customer; for, that he was murdered,
would seem 10 be q fxsd fact.
