French WitiCiSmS.

Dumas, the younger, sat the other
night at one of the last representa-
tons of Rhodojune, by Mile. Georges.
L do not like to see an old woman
die, said one of the spectators.
" Especially when the death is not
real" remarked the witty Dumas as
quick as light. George Haine, chief
of the orchestra at the Italian Opera,
was invited to his house by rich
merchant. The note of invitation
carried to following postscript, under
lined: Above all, don't forget your
violin" The artist, seeing it was not
the man that was wanted, but the
fiddle, thus replies: Sir, I am little
indisposed, and unable to accept your
amiable invitation, but, as you seem
to desire it, | send you my violin. y

An Arsenic Eater.

A somewhat imaginative story was
in circulation few years ago about
the common use of arsenic among the
peasant women of Hungary, for the
purpose of making themselves plump
and clear complexioned. No doubt
most persons who swallowed this ar
senic story at all, did so cum grdno
sails, thinking that little poetic
license was to be looked for in ac-
counts of that romantic land. But,
DIR. La Rue, medical professor, of
Quebec, has found an Englishman
who takes the poison and thrives on
it. This arsenic eater, as he told the
old doctor, was of a consumptive
family, and finding himself attacked,
some ten years ago, with manifest
tymptoms of the disease, he CHANGED
to see somewhere a recommendation
of arsenic as a remedy.
Being ready to try any experiment
for restoration, however desperate, he
began taking arsenic, though in his
ignorance much more literally than
any physician would ever dare to adj
minister it, using two ounces in six or
eight weeks. AS though poisons, like
savage beasts, had freaks of mercy,
his medicine, which by all the laws of
science ought to have killed him,
wrought a thorough cure, and he had
continued the use of it as a remedy
for colds and like disorders up to the
time when DR.. La Rue talked to him,
in the spring of the last year. The
Doctor was, naturally enough, some
hot 1r1lr j -
for himself. Accordingly, the Eng
lishman swallowed in his presence
four grains of arsenic = strictly ar
senious acid, uncombined arsenic be-
ing a substance of rare occurrence
administered by the Doctor himself
from his own laboratory.
The patient offered to take six
grains, but the doctor would not give
it to him, two or three being consid-
ed by physicians certain death. He
put one grain, however, in the pipe
he was smoking. After waiting for
two hours for symptoms of poisoning,
DR.. La Rue dismissed the man, having
made his promise to come again in
the evening. The arsenic eater was
as good as his word, and protested
himself ready for a repetition of the
dose; but the thought occurred to the
professor, What if he should die after
all? And then the coroner's jury
with their verdict of malpractice,
and the startling story in the newspa-
pers all over the continent of the ply
stefan who murdered a man to test
the effect of poison. So he postponed
further experiment till the next
morning, and indeed does not tell US
whether he administered any more of
the poison.
Certainly enough has been done
already to show that this man was on
much better terms with arsenic than
the rest of US could hope to be. The
arsenic-eater informed DIR. La Rue
that he always took the poison dry
and avoided drinking water for lit
tie time thereafter. He had no scru-
Piles, however, about taking wine Or
beer Immediately. His farorite way
of taking the arsenic is with his to-
bacco, which he smokes incessantly
His general health is good, and he is
especially free from any of the bad eff
fects usually ascribed to arsenic. The
drug appears to have no effect on his
complexion. DIR. La Rue's account
of the case appears in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal.

Throat, Bronchitis, &c. My son, sixteen
years of age, was taken suddenly ill with
Diptheria, and could scarcely speak or
swallow, his breathing was so bad. We
were much alarmed, but decided to try the
Life Drops, before calling physician. By
using the Drops according to direction, he
was soon relieved, and the disease entirely
broken up. let friend, suffering with
rheumatism, have one of the bottles. He
says the Life Drops gave Immediate relief,
and are the best medicine he ever used. "A
family near him, suffering from Colds and
liberated Sore Throat, used some OF his,
and were cured in a short time. Since
then | let my brother, a physician, have
part of mine, and with which he cured 3

to acknowledge that they are valuable.
