The elephants had already OWNED the thought of

Next to hope, resignation is the most precious

to Providence the care Of his life. His only hone
was in gaining the confidence Of the elephants, to
deceive it at the first opportunity. All his thoughts
were concentrated on this object He devoted
himself therefore to their service and amusement
he took care of the children and the infirm: swan

agility Of despair, and soon arrived at the borders
Of the forest at the entrance to the sterile valley

PERILous EXPERMENTs-READ, IF YOU VALUE
LIFE.-Our public hospitals need reform. Neither
the food nor the treatment of their inmates Is what
it ought to be. The great object in most of these
institutions seem to be to doctor the sick at the
least possible expense. As Captain Bunsby might
say, if they live so if they die SO, also., The
worst feature of the whole is that the patients are
used liring subjects for young practitioners to
experiment atpOn These eleues of the medical
schools expect to obtain the knowledge necessary
in private practice by testing the properties and
powers of medicines upon the helpless wretches
placed under their charge. Deny this who viii, we
know it to be true. rs
For our own part we are far from placing impli-
cit faith in the prescriptions Of the faculty. Au
cont1aie, we have infinitely more confidence in the
world-pervading remedies of Professor Holloway
than in all the tnctures, decoctions, anodynes and
cathartics recommended in the professional text
books. Doubtless the egotistic nabobs at the head
of some of our medical institutions would designate
his pills and ointment as empirical preparations.
But we say no. Empires experiment upon the dis
eased system but he does not. He claims the
trust and confidence of invalids on sure grounds

and external complaints, and RAINING through no
less period than the fourth of century, Can

THE AbeAec Melicale asserts that insomnis, or
want of rest at night, may be cured by sugar
candy! 1t appears that sugar, under its crystazed
form, is decided hynoptic, and much superior to
most other remedies of the kind if we consider its
perfect innocence. To use it, put five or six pieces
of sugar candy, Of the size of hazel-nut into
your mouth on going to bed, and by the time they
are half melted away, the desired effect will have
been produced. The sleep which it causes is not
like the artificial one produced by other drugs, but
it is beneficial and invigorating in its effects
upon the system as natural repose-in fact, it is a
sweet sleep. 1t states, however, that sugar candy
is only effectual against common insomnia, and
would be powerless if that affection were caused
by any other complaint.
