distempers--leprosy, boils, elephantasis,
etc, the common effort of nature to throw
visceral impurities to the surface. As early
as King Asa, that right royal malady, the
gout,' had been invented. Then came con-

At one was Horace Greeley, with our bril-

game which fell under my observation, Mr..
Greeley and his fair Ui8-a-ui0 were in the
