DR.. J. II. SCHENCK-Dear Sir For over ff-
teen years have been troubled with a severe
cough, and usually two or three times O year
with more or less hemorrhage, which together, for
the last few years, has kept me thin in flesh and
too weak 70 do business ofany kind without suf-

symstoms of speedy death seemed to accompa-

| and stated TO him that was taking your medi-
cineS, and after showing them TO him, and hav-

time had come. At this time was,taking freely
Of your medicine but had not seen you. The
doctor called a few times, and found me (much
to his surprise, lie said) improving, and could
not understand why. My faith was increasing
in your medicines, and had n wish to have you
examine my case and sec what you had to say
When you first came to my room and made the
examination, you gave me but little encourage

cold while under your treatment, my appetite
became first-rae, and you told me to eat every

Amid the hurry of planting we are apt to
overlook the importance of the value OF

Pharaoh's Serpents.


lnasmuch as these are being extensive
ly offered for sale, and as extensively
bought, it is our duty to caution every
one against their poisonous nature, being
composed Of the sulpho-cyanide Of mer-
eury which is deadly poison. We are
at present making experiments of the
contents of them on some animals, which
we shah give the result of at subsequent
period. The following is the Substance of
a communication read by Mr.. Stephenson
Macadam, on their poisonens nature, be-
fore the Pharmaceutical Society OF Great
Britain, at their recent meeting in Edin-
burgh ;-Ereha7age.
THE chemical toy which is now sold
largely in many shops in this city, al
prices ranging from Sd to Is each, is COM
posed of highly dangerous and poison
Gus substance, called the sulpho-cyanide of
mercury. The material is double-head-
ed poisoned arrow, for it contains two
poisoned ingredients, viz: mercury and
snlpho-cyande acid, either Of which will
kill. Experiments have been made by
me upon the lower animals, and | have
found that one-half Of a sixpenny Phara-
obs Serpent is sufficient to poison large
sized rabbit in an hour and three quar-
ters. A less dose also destroys life, but
takes longer TO do SO. The toy, therefore,
is much too deadly to be regarded as
merely amusing; and seeing that it can
be purchased by every seheolboy, and be
brought home TO the nursery, it is rather
alarming to think that there is enough of
poison in one of the serpents to destroy
the life of several children. And the
more so, that the so-called Pharaoh's Ser
pent is covered with bright tinfoil, and
much resembles in outward appearance a
piece of chocolate or eomft. l hope that
the rage for the Pharaoh's Serpents will
die out in Edinburgh without any disas-
trous consequences, though such have oc-
Cured in other places; but it certainly is
an anomaly in the law of the kingdom
that grain of arsenic cannot be purchas-
ed except under proper restrictions, and
that such articles as Pharaoh's Serpents,
containing as deadly poison, may be
sold in any quantity. and be purchased by
any schoolboy or child"

Cholera Dwelling House Cellars.


DIR. Hall, who publishes and edits the
Journal of Health, one of the most sem
sible, practical and useful monthles in !
this country, devotes the whole of the !
March number to an interesting article on
" Farmers Houses" showing where they
should be built, and how they should be
built indicating certain conveniences to
be secured, and certain inconvenience to
be avoided, and pointing out all the essen
tials to health. comfort and eontentment.
One of the most interesting and useful
portions of this article is that devoted to
\" Cellars in Dwelling Houses" which he
declares are oftentimes the sources from
which those gases constantly ascend that
impregnate every room in the houses to
which they are attached with vitiated
and unwholesome atmosphere.
He speaks of the habit prevalent
among honsekeepers of making the cell
lars the summer and winter receptacle of
every variety of vegetables and fruits, as
well as of rubbish and kitchen offal, and
of all that is old and unseemly. He ad-
vises thorough examination and cleans
ing of the cellars attached to every
house in which a slow and obscure disease
prevails among the members Of the fami-
ly. He says such cellars should be emptied
/
of every movable thing, the esalls thor
oughly swept and washed, aired for a
week. and the former whitewashed
He cites the following remarkable in
stance of the efficacy of cleanliness pre-
venting cholera--with which we are now
threatened and of its attraction by un-
cleanliness. During cholera summer
unusual efforts were made in Boston to
provide against it. The most stringent
and thorough hygenic measures were TAX
en-. Reliable men were appointed to ex-
anime every house from cellar to garrei
and compel the removal of everything
which could have even a remote tendency

S A more special examination of thu

e bad housekeeping for years was found
= and this was in state of putridity. o.

should omit no reasonable precaution
against its prevalence. 1t costs but little
of time, trouble or money fer each house
holder to clean and purify his premises.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM A LIVING
GRAVE. The Cleveland Herald relates
the following narrow escape from living
grave. A young German, recently mar
ried to handsome lady of very respecta-
BILE parentage, was taken suddenly i'll at
his place Of business last Friday. He
was placed in a carlisge and taken to his
residence on Erie street, where he laid in
great agony until Sunday, when the dis
ease so prosirated his physical powers
that ne lay motionless upon the bed, while
weeping friends surrounded the COUCH
To all appearance he was dead, and it was
so decided. Arrangements were about to
be made for the intermeut, when the young
wife, feeling she could not give him up so
soon, insisted that the funeral be postponed
until Tuesday morning. To CRAFTY the
woman thus brought so speedily TO mourn
the loss of her husband, the funeral was
postponed. She spent most of the day
(Monday) in the room with the corpse,
and toward evening she noticed the body
moving. When she told this to her
friends they thought her demented, and
for two hours they conversed with her to
divert her mind. AT the end Of the two
hours another slight movement was per-
ceived by all The party. The scene which
followed can never be described. The
wife clung to the motionless form of her
husband, alternately weeping and begging
of him to speak just one word, while the
friends wept for joy, fastened for phys-
clan, alarmed the servants by their st, ange
conduct and presented a scene of confus-
ion generally. When the physician ar
rived, the friends were assembled abou,
the living man, suggesting and applying
all the restoratives ever heard or dreamed
of by any of the party, while the wife,
overwhelmed with joy, and pesely
worn out with excessive excitement, had
swooned away, and was lying al the side
of her husband, in the same dea,h-like
stiffness that had embraced his form but
few moments before. The physician took
the necessary steps to restore she woman
and Iesusciate the man, which was speedi-
ly accomplished in both cases, and, as we
write to-day, the woman Is joyous and
happy, while the man thinks his escape
from living grave one of the marked
features of his life.

If the type is too large, it don't contain.
enough reading matter.
If the type is small, people won't read
If we publish telegraph reports, the
people say they are lies.
If we omit them, they say we have no
enterprise or suppress them for POLITICAL
effect.
If we have few jokes, people say we
are a rattlehead.
If we omit them, they say we are an
old FOSSIL
If we publish original matter, they curse
us for not giving selections.
If we publish selections men say we
are lazy for not writing more, and giving,
them what they have not read in some
other paper.
If we give man a complimentary no.
tice, then we are censured for being par

If we do not, then all hands say that
we are a greedy hog.
If we insert an article that pleases the
ladies. men become jealous.
If we do not cater to their wishes. the

If we attend church. they say it is only

If we don't they pronounce us as deceit
