ofa dog perfoi med at Rush Medical
College last Wednesday by Drs. Freer

animal WAS severed and the blood al

apparedtly lifeless. An incision was
then made in the iugular vein, and the
blood was injected back into thu ami

ing him TO life,
The account of this interesting ex-
pertinent given to the Post was noticed
by the friends OF young lady in Iowa,
who had been for some time wasting a.
way with disease supposed to bu con-
sumption, and they sent to DIR. Frser to
come and make the experiment Of

patient in very low condition. lie
proceeded TO take some sixteen ounces
OF blood from the arm OF Il young broth
er of the girl and injected 1t into her
veins. The patient went into condI-
ton, and it was found that still more OF
the vital fluid WAS necessary. Another
supply was therefore drawn ii ON a sis

ONE AHEAD SURE.

A good story is told of q certain prom
inent railroad gentleman of Philadel-
phia, who is equally renowned for his
ability to make and take joke. A
railroad employee. whose house 10 on
Avon, came on Saturday night to ask
tor pass down to visit his family.
"Ysu are in the employ of the rail-
road ?" inquired the gentleman alluded
to.
Yes"
"You receive your pay regularity"
"Yes."
"Well, now, suppose You we're work
ing tor farmer instead of railroad,
would you expect your employer to
hitch up his team every Saturday night
and carry you home?"
This seemed poser, but it wasn't
"N0." said the man promptly, II
would not expect that; bu: If the far
mer had his team hitched up and was
going my way, should call him =
blamed mean cuss IL he wouldn't let me
ride"
Mr.. employer came out three minutes
afterwards with pass good for twelve
months.

since engaged himself to anothe, which
engagement was announced in church

MODE OF srRAwsERRY CULTURE

The editor Of the Hor.iculturist, who
lately visited KnoxS fruit farm at
Pittsburg, states that MIR. Knox tried
several met rods of cultivating tho
strawberry, in order to reach the great
est success. At first the plants were
set In rows two aud half feet wide, and
eighteen inches in the row. This gave
too much room. The nextwas in beds
consisting OF rows eighteen inches a.
part, and plants one foot in the row,
with an alley three feet wide after eve-
ry third row. This increased the pro-
duetiveness, but the cultivation was
more difficult. Finally, the third was
tried, and was so successful that it was
permsAtly adopted. The rows are two
feet apart, and the plants one foot In
the rowland culture with the hill
system being practieed.

partment.

TEE RELAPsIEG FEVER.

The relapsing fever has appeared in
New York city. 1t has for some time
ragged in London. 1t is a very fatal dis
ease, beginning in poverty and starva-
tiOn, and extending among the people
in every class of lie. The symptoms
and treatment of this disease stripped
of medical phraseology, may be SUNNI
ed up in few words. The headache.
shirering and high fever come on sud-
denly, and succeed each other rapidly
SO that in the course of from six TO
twent, -four hours the pulse is beating
from eue hundred to one hundred ard
forty times per minute, and the tenn
persture is found to be from one hune
dred degrees TO one hundred and five
degrees Fahrenheit. Excessive pain
fulness, especially In the shoulders and
legs, continues for three or four days,
and about the sixth, sometimes as early
as the fifth day after the onset, the pa
tient begins to sweat SO excessively that
the Temperature is reduced in the
course of single day to point two or
three degrees below the natural heat Of
the body that is down 10 ninety five or
ninety-six degrees Fahrenheit. During
the first stage OF the fever there is usu-
ally much vomiting aid disturbance of
the bowels. Now comes on period Of
rest from the fever and from nearly
every symptom sof the disease, which
continues throughouT an entire week,
some times day or two longer, and
until the fourteenth day from the onset,
when on that day or very soon subse-
qnentiy the headache, fever and sick
ness returns suddenly and the patient
suffers still. more protraeted attack
than in the first instance. At ths end
OF swenty-ons days, II alive, the conva-
lescent begins to hope that all is over
with his sickness, and finds. on attempt
ing to leave his bed, painfulness an ex-
c. ssive weakness oil his muscles. A
blancbed and sajlow skin and an al
SERGE of all energy and strength, that
makes every hour wretclied and miser-
able and If not carefully surrounded by
good sanitary circumstances is quite
sure to have second relapse. ltis said
that in Londou and st. Petersburg
three, four and even five rtlapses have
been by no means uncommon. The
convalesence is so protracted that the
patient becomes paupsrized by the dis
ease, and many months elapse before he
can again earn his bread. The only
treatment OF any value is confessed to
be good nursing and good nourish-
ment.
