THE ECCENTRIC DOCTOR AND HIS
PATIENT.


OF all the professions. trades or occu.
pations that engage the minds of men
that Of physicians is the most diversi.
fed. In locating, he has to find out the CON
sttution Of those he is called upon to visit.
for it is frequently the case that success may
be owing more to a deep and through knowl-
edge of the constitution of the patient than
mere common place applications. As an il
lustration Of this, we will relate an anecdoto
of one of our old physicians, who, if he finds
physic will not cure tries other means as the
case may require.
DR.. D. had long been the attending
physician Of a lady considerably past her
teens, and affected with certain disorders in
cident to a want of occupation and the care
of family. She sends for the Doctor in
season and out of season, he rushes out at a
two-forty pace, and finds his patient physic-
ally perfectly well, but sad and lonely. and of
course, afflicted with the blues All he can
do is to administer "tncture" with a few
drops Of peppermint, and the patient is well
for a day.
On ono occasion-a cold, blustrous night
the Doctor had just turned in wrapping him
self snugly in his blanket, with the hope of
quiet sleep, when loud rap aroused him.
who is sick = inquired the Doctor
Miss Sally Strickland. sir; she is most
dead expect she'll die before you get there"
IN be along, says the Doctor. exclaim-
ing to himsolf that Miss Sally I'll try to
cure her this time
The Doctor plods along through mud and
miro, cold and rain, studying his application
When he arrives at the dwelling of Miss
Sally he finds her, as usual in a rather de-
pressed state of mind
doctor" she said, fcebly, 81 expect to die
every moments am very low. Can you do
anything for me :"
The Doctor feels her pulse; nothing the
matter-meroly wanted company. The Doc
tor becomes communicative
"Nliss Sally, | was having terrible dream
when your servant awoke me"
"What was it :" she eagerly inquired
II dreamed | was dead" continued the
Doctor, "and descended into the lower re-
gions where met 'Old Scratch, who invited
me to view his dominions. The inmates were
engaged in different occupations-some play
ing cards, others swindling their neghbors I;
in fine, all the pursuits they followed during
life they continued there. When Satan got
through showing me around, he proclaimed
to the four quarters of his kingdom that all
should go to bed for, said he, Sally Strick-
land will be here directly, and there'll be no
sleep in my region for a month"
The Doctors speedy departure was in
creased to flight by the sight of broomstick
fourshed actively in his rear but the reme-
dy was eiIectual

"Miss Emily, rustic lass Of the Hoosiei

pour the milk back into the pail, and set it

To PREVENT Sows KILLING THEIR
IoUNc.-About two years ago, we first men
toned what we have since known. tried and
proved entirely oficctual, as a preventative
against the killing Of pigs by the mother-an
unnatural though by no means unusual. pro-
ceediug on the part of some sows The mat
ter was again brought to our mind by a COM
munieation from +. g. Buxton of Yarmouth,
who says there has been an unusual loss of
pigs IN his neighborhood within few weeks
past, and recommends. as the easiest and
surest preventive, ''to give the SOW about half
pint of good rum or gin. which soon pro-
duces intoxication, and the drunken mother
unlike some human mothers, becomes entirely
harmless towards her young, and will oven
accommodate her position to the best adyan-
ta5e Oh tue plEs, ana, IN her recovery from
her bender, she becomes so much civilized
IN her disposition, as to eradicate all signs Of
savageness towards her young, and she will
manifest all the motherly care that is due to
her pledges Of affection. "
We also knew of this remedy being tried
by ncighbor of ours, but few days since,
and it proved entirely efectual, not only over
coming the disposition of the sow to kill the
pigs, but making her as careful Of them as
could be desired. Farmers who may be
troubled in this way will do we'll to bear this
prescription in mnd.-Maine Farmer

SAD DEATH OF A STUDRNr.-The Detroit
papers give the particulars of sad affair
which took place at the University at Ann
Arbor, Mich, last week. George w Bra
zlo, young man who has until recently been
student at the University, being anxious to
become a member Of some of the various Sc
cret societies Of the college, a band Of the
students conceived the plan of giving him a
mock initiation into sham society. and beer
and whisky were provided for the OCCASION
The ceremony was performed by party Of
nine students. in one of the study rooms, and
all who chose partook freely of the liquors.
Brazie drank so freely that he became intoxi-
Gated and sank down upon the floor. The
company sought 20 sober him; carried him
out Of doors to give him the benefit Of the
pure air, and bathed his face and temples in
water, but without the desired result He
was taken back and made as comfortable as
possible with some bed clothing his yomit-
ing precluded the idea of putting him to bed
lie was attended TO at intervals during the
night, but when morning came he was still
drunk. The students, thinking he would
soon come out Of his drunken sleep, went to
college as usual. When they returned about
! / O'Clock, the unfortunate young man was
dying, and before a physician who was sent
for could arrive, he breathed his last. A post
norton examination Of his body developed
no evidence either Of disease or violence, and
the jury returned a verdict Of death by in
II appears that Brazie had been without
.ood much more than the usual time. and also
drank freely Of beer and whisky before going
10 tho place Of meeting. The melancholy
ltfair has created great excitement at Ann
Arhor, and the citizens arc making move
nent to break up the sale Of liquors in the
place.
