TYE MAN WITH A BAD SMELL. On Tuesday
night last, q man entered the drug store of a
friend of ours, and asked him il he knew of
ANYTHING that could cure bad smell that be-
came appended to him. How he got 1t he
could not tell. He had been in the camp sell
ing stencils; and either in travelling in the
cars, or in the camps, most horrible smell
became attached to him, and he did not know
how to get rid Of 1t. llo said his health WAS
good, and that nothing was the matter with
him save that "horrihle SMELL Our friend,
who is a physician began to feel an interest in
the case, as he had never heard Of a man
,scatrhing smell' before. There was no
case OF the kind laid down in the books
Whilst listening to the mans tale, he natur-
ally took sni1, good sni1, G hearty sniff
to find out what the smell was like. He did
not want second one. One was enough
He found what the man said was true, with
out doubt. 1t was bad smell. The worst
kind OF a smell he ever smell. II was rot
49, a.---ll- H..- had smell nearly everything
bad in nature. Decayed subjects at a disect-
ing table Dead horses fostering in the sun;
but they were all like violets in comparison.
Compared with it pole cat WAS like leau de
cologne or burgamot. II was a cross between
a decayed corpse, a rotten horse, and Tester
ing neglected cancer, only great deal worse
than either, or all puttogethrr. H. bod just
eaten hearty supper and IL began Ia efum-
BILE. He gave the man few directions-tO
take OIL the smell; TO tako warm bath-to
change his elothes-to hang those he took of
out the window, but neglected on. Of delica-
cy 10 tell him to take himself OF, when his
supper became mora rebelious, and wanted
to come up. Our friend, by magniheent-by
Napoleonic-by Hercnlean efforts, however,
kept Il down, and gasped out at intervals, the
same directions. But the man didn't co.
lie wanted sympathy as we'll as advice and
| he staid on smelling. Our friends store is
Y not very large one and il was soon filed
with smell. lie retrsated into the back part
and wrestled lnanfnlly with his supper which
was still more rebellions, aud more determin-
ed to come mp than ever. But the man siaid
aud 5melt, ani<smelt aud ataid, Our friend
felt there was a ciisls coming. He would 'ye
told the man to 60, but could Mt, for his sup
per would have taken wicked and ungenerous
opened window got his head ont, aud
bieathed in fresh air. lie dursent take it in
again-but he kept 1t out. Finally the man
went, and after awhile the smell went Will
him. Our friends slipper became tranquil
and he fumgated the store. But he never
wants to prescribe for man with smell
at least such a smell. But laying joking aside
this is the first case we ever heard OF a mai
catching a smell.
