DEATH nr VI. JrLllrS.-Thc Arabia brings
the announcement Of the death OF NJ. Julien,
the celebrated musical conductor, whose name
and fame are worldwide. His end was melan-
choIy. During the last few years he had ex.
perienced serious pccuniary rcrcrScs, which
appeared to affect his brain, which induced his
friends to take him TO Il lunalic asylum in Pa.
ris. where he died. In 1858 VI. Julien visited
the United States. and created n great excite
mcnt by the ability with which he conducted
the best orchestra eve: heard in this country,
and the aptncss with which lie turned all his
imprcssions into music. The deceased was
born in 1912, AMI for over twenty years his
concerts in England were immensely popular,
but recent unsuccessful enterprises in Paris led
to his appearance before the bankruptcy court,
and those dependent nn him were left wholly
without resources. This 80 deeply affected
him a> to drive him To insanity and death.

PurRID SORE ETHRoAT--A French PLY.
gician established for many years ct Ha-
vann, has recently published his expert
ence in regard to putrid sore throat. He
says: "In the beginning resorted TO
vomitings, cautcrizations, etc, which l
soon found to be useless. Ice alone suffi-
ces for the treatment Of Iutrid sore throat,
and whatever might have been the pro.
grcss Of the disease, II never failed in
twenty -four. hours to place the patieat out
Of danger. Thus no more garglings, no
more vomitings, no more cauteriSations |;
small pieces Of ice used on the outside Of
tho throat and sucked or swallowed by
the patient is the only treatment I would
recommend to my brethren Of the 1edical
faculty.
