of Nervous and Physical Debility, the results of
injurious habits acquired in youth, which usually
terminate in Impotence or sterility, and permanent
ly induce all the concOmitants of old age. Where
a secret nfrmity exists involving The happiness of

A DOG SToRY-The Harrisburg (Pa.)
Telegraph tells the following story:
A few days ago, as several persons were
leaving the Office of one of our physicians on
Third street, they discovered, on the stairs
leading thereto, dog who had been severely
wounded in one of his legs, from which the
blood was flowing freely. Seeing the door
open the dog at once entered the office, limp
ed to the DOCTOR and in most imploring
attitude held up the wounded limb The
man OF pills and bandages took pity onthe ami
NAL, and upon examining the wound found
that an artery had been cut. Carefully
lying his dogship on the floor, the doctor pro-
ceeded to bandage the wound, which he ac-
complished as skillfully as if his patient were
member Of the human family. The dog
seemed grateful for the attention shown him,
and after exhibiting his gratitude in an un-
mistakabe manner, he proceeded to the door
and departed. What seems most singular is
that the animal had never been at the Office
before, and that he was an entire stranger to
the physician. Instinct alone could only have
caused him to visit the gentleman referred to,
in his hour of distress. Although this state
ment may scarcely be believed by some of
our readers, we assure them that it is true
in every particular, and the dog referred to
can be seen any day within short distance
of the Office where he received the physician S
attention.

STRANGE SroRY.-A deaf negro, the In
dianapolis Herald says, who had been out
rabbit hunting, was walking the railroad
track in the neighborhood Of Camp Caring
ton, a few days since, when the down train
from Lafayette came along. The engineer
whistled. but the sable hunter being deaf,
did not hear. Before the engine could be
stopped the negro was hoisted by the cow
catcher, and tumbled into promiseuous
heap on one side of the track, good deal
bruised and confused, but not much hurt
His gun was discharged by the shock, the
shot killing hog which was foraging near
by. The owner Of the shog will bring suit
against the road, while the road will have
recourse on the negro.

A FRIGHTENED ENGINEER.-One dark
night some weeks ago, at quick succession
of the sharp curves which distinguish the
Catawissa Penn. road the engineer of
lengthy freight train perceived to his horror
light apparently approaching rapidly on
the same track upon which he was whist
ling along The disastrous effect flashed
across his mind, and caused each individual
capillary Uranium ornamental arrangement
to assume an erect position, to the danger of
his "Kossuth," as he hastily whistled
down brakes" After fearful effort on
the part of the now thoroughly frightened
engineer, who still witnessed the light ap-
preaching, apparently nearer and nearer,
the train was stopped simultaneously but
no whistle, nothing but the reverberation of
his own, sent back in mingled echoes from
the adjoining mountains. The light burn
ing brightly, still faced him, however,
Struck with the mysterious aspect which the
occurrence began to wear, an investigation
was instituted, when it was discovered that
the engineer had stopped for the hind light
ofhis oon train. Sharp curves in that sec
tion of the country" The yarn may ap-
pear tough, says the paper from which we
extract the account, but it is nevertheless
true.

CURE OF DELIRIUM TKEMENS.-We took
occasion, some months ago, on the faith of
good medical testimony, to invite attention to
the beneficial effects cf capsicum or red pep
per, in delirium tremens. Since then some
well marked cases have occurred in the prac
tice of DIR. Lyons, to whom we made refer
ence at that time. This gentleman lays de-
served stress on the symptoms during brief
but variable period which precedes the fully
developed attack of delirium tremens. These
are often anomalous, unintelligible to the
patient himself, and not always understood
by his medical attendant. In this prelimi-
nary stage are met with, tremor. sleepless.
ness and general distress and anxiety, with
out trace of delirium. In other cases,
slight illusions prevail, without tremor, from
which the patient can, by an effort, arouse
himself, and, under strong exertions of the
will, even command his faculties for time,
and pursue his business avocations, to break
down, it may be hopelessly, a few hours
afterward, if his condition is neglected, mis-
understood or mistreaed. Under these cir
cumstances, the treatment by capsicum
comes in very opportunely, and by its en-
plovment we nav cut short the disease, and
so save the patient from the consequences of
his imprudence and possibly restore him to
a reformed life. In the case OF an individual
who had taken six grains of opium within a
period of two or three days, without sleep
being procured or any relief to the illusions,
tremor, and distress under which he labored,
a twenty grain dose of capsicum in large
pill was followed by deep and refreshing
sleep for twelve hours. The patient awoke
from this, conscious and restored. In anoth
er case thirty grain dose had to be given
before full relief was procured and in one or
two instances of individuals Of confirmed
Incorporate habits it was found necessary to
repeat the dose some three or four times
As at present employed, the capsicum is
given in the form of bolus made up with
honey of roses, but DR.. Lyons suggests the
feasibility of its being conveyed to the stom-
ach in CAPSULE -PhRadeLphia Ledqer.
