1t is a sad thing to pass through life only nan anVe.
Yet there are thousands whose habitual condition ID
one of languor and debility. They complain % "
specific disease; they suffer no positive pain; put they
have no relish for anything which affords mental OF
sensuous pleasure to their more robust and energetic
fellow-beings.
In nine cases out of ten this state of lassitude and
torpor arises from a morbid stomach. Indigestion
destroys the energy of both mind and body. When
the waste of nature is not supplied by a due and regu-
lar assimilation of the food, every organ is starved,
every function interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under these
circumstances of depression? The system needs rous-
ing and strengthening; not merely for an hour or two,
to sink afterwardi into a more pitiable condition than
ever, las it assuredly would do if an ordinary stimu-
liant were resorted to- but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accomplished
The answer to this question, founded on the unYary-
ing experience of a quarter of a century, Is easily
given. Infuse new vigor into the digestive organs Dy

An Infant MOnstrOsity-The First Living
Creature of the Species Known to
Science.

SOAShSSe
From the Philadelphia Press.
The lecture-room of he Jefferson
Medical College was filed at noon, the
other day, to witness the clinical ex-
animation of a wonder in physiology,
the two-headed baby. There was pres
ent, by invitation, a number of dis
tinguished gentlemen, physicians, pub
lie men, and scientists, and the usual
number of Hedgling doctors. Among
the former were Profs. Gross, Pancoast,
and Rand, of the Jefferson; Drs. Gross,
Maury, and Pancoast Edward Shipper
and William V. Mexican, Esqs., and
others.
Shortly after II o'clock, DIR. Getchell,
the clinical lecturer upon diseases of
women and children, made his appear
ance, and the infant being brought in
and placed upon the table, the Doctor
proceeded to enter into the history of
monsters in general, and of this little
wonder in particular. He stated that
DIR. Gross had been summoned to see
the infant at the Museum, and had
called him in to consult with him. To-
gether they had come to the conclusion
that the infant was IN object of such
interest as to merit the attention of the
medical public. Through the kindness
of Mr.. Simpson they had been enabled

The child was born in Morrow coun.
ty, Ohio, upon the 18th of October last,
and is now accordingly about seven
months old. Its delivery was easy and
natural, its birth being accomplished
before medical attendance was called
There was one cord and one placents
for the new conner. 1t weighed at its
birth twelve pounds, and was in all re
spects a hearty, healthy child. Since
its birth the child has enjoyed gooG
health, suffering only from the slight
and natural ailments of early infancy
One child was larger than the other, but
both are in a healthy condition at the
present time.
The child has two heads, both Of
which are vivacious and even pretty
1t has n continuous spine, with whar
might be called three legs, and on
composed of two legs united together
with one compound foot, and eigh
toes. In other respects it resemble
other children. The Doctor then en-
tered into the history of other mon
sters, and showed a number of portrait
from antique and cotemporaneous work
of creatures of the same conformation
In conclusion, he said that on tn
whole this infant must be regarded a
unique, as it had lived longer than an,
of its predecessors in monstrosity, AM
still gave promise of long life to come.

THE BURNING OF PARIS.

IL bOhNlNO OE Ahl0s
Dispatches dated May Goth say that
Paris is enveloped in a dense pail of
smoke and is terribly damaged. The
streets are smeared with blood and lit
tered with debris.
Another Paris correspondent de-
scribes the burning of the Tuileries ;
another that of the Hotel de Vile, and
the awful scenes accompanying. The
Austrian Embassy building, the proper
ty of the Empress Eugene, was also
burned. Caisse dies Consignation is re-
ported destroyed, likewise the Spanish
Embassy. Departure from Paris is inn
possible, and circulation through the
city difficult and dangerous.
Another correspondent t~elegraphs
from Versailles last night: Paris is
being burnt to the ground. Mad and
frenzied insurgents deliberately fired
the Louvre, the Tuileries, Cour dies
Complies, Hotel de Vile, Ministry o.
Finance, churches, and every public
building in the city. The c~onhagration
is rapidly extending.' The correspon.
dent tried to enter Paris, but found ii
noticed a tremendous increase, and
third of the city, he says, will be burned
before night.
The Versaillists are sending fremer
to the city from towns within a radius Of
20 miles.
Since noon a strong southeastern
wind has prevailed, which blows the
flames toward Palais de la Bastile
threatening the entire city with de
struction.

A Fiendish Crime at Mt. Clemens.
Michigan.

A most atrocious crime was commit
ted at Ridgeway, in this county, some
time ago, the facts of which have just
come to light. We publish the account
as told us by a person familiar with the
case, emitting such details as are too
indecent for publication. A young girl
II years of age. who resided not far
from Ridgeway station, a~rtless, n the
daughter of respectable parents, was en-
ticed into one of the saloons that flank
that town, and by force made to submit
to the sensual embrace of the villain
who presided over the Ubiquitous hell
hole. The girl, after being outraged in
a shameful manner, was taken and con-
fined in a low, dingy room, where she
was fed on bread and water, and NAL
treated in a way too horrible and dis
gushing to mention in print. After
the lend who had worked her ruin had
tired of her presence, he sold her to an
equally inhuman monster living at Port
Huron, for SIS. She lived a life of utter
degration and misery until her second
master, in order to get her out of the
way, trumped up a charge of theft
against her, and she was sentenced to
the Detroit House of Correction by a JUS
tice of the peace in st. Clair county.
Diseased and entirely broken down in
spirit, she remained in the House of Cor
rection but a few weeks, when death
ended her sufferings. The perpetrators
of this outrageous deed are still at large,
although we understand q determined
effort is being made to bring them to
justice.-Mt. Clemens Monitor.
The new article of food, koumis, late
ly introduced into England and the
United States from Germany, is Of Tar
tar origin, and in its original form is
made by fermenting mares milk and
agitating it through the process. Cows
milk is used as a substitute. The result
of the treatment is a mixture of alco-
hol, carbonic aid, Tactic acid and finely
divided casein and butter, with the
residue of the sugar and salts of the
milk, in taste resembling a mixture of
champagne and cream, and supposed,
as the Tartars are very athletic, to be
conducive to health and a preventive of
phthisis.

In DEATH NOT DIYIDED.-An old cIti-
zen of Morrisville, VT, and his wife,
died suddenly on the evening of the
4th inst, within ten minutes of each
other. He was eighty-nine and she
eighty-four years of age. A lady living
with them left them for a few minutes,
the wife lying on the bed and the hus-
band sitting in q chair. When she re-
turned the old lady was dead, and the
husband, whom she hesitated to tell,
conversed some, and before friends
could be summoned, died without
knowing that his wife had passed away.
They had lived together sixty-four
years.
The intended six months sojourn of

not frozen to death, nor nave they suf-
fered in bodily health OF from discom-
