lie who takes the Intoxicating
cup consents to be for an hour
q maniac, brute or devil, as the
case may he. And in that hour q
busy devil can lay out work for
him that will last him all his life.
For. one hour he gives up the
helm or the vessel to = maddened
fool, and finds, as his reward, his
noble ship swallowed up by the
hungry waves, ana his costly car
go scattered along tho rock bound
shores.
An Englishman with rheumatic
CONT found this singular remedy
a cure for his ailment: He In
sulated his bedstead from the
door by placing underneath each
post 4 broken-ofr bottom of q
glass bottle. He SAYS the effect
was magical; that he had not
been free from rheumatic CONT for
fifteen years, and that he began
TO improve Immediately after the
application Of the insulatOrs.
We are reminded by this state
ment, SAYS the Scientific Ameri.
can, of a patent obtained through
this Office for physician. some
twelve or more wears ago, which
created considerable interest at
the time. The patent consisted
in placing glass cups under the
bedpoSts in similar manner to
the above, and the patentec
claimed to have effected some re-
markable cures by the use Of his
glass insulators.
