During the late cholera epidemic in
Vienna, "A new remedy, called camphor
elm, was used with great success in the
hospitals. 1t is prepared simply by pass
ing chlorine gas into pure turpentine Oil
until saturated; it gives thick, heavy,
oily fluid, of brown color, with a
strong smell of chlorine. This is freed
from muriatic acid by washing with wa
ter This remedy is applied by placing
"a portion in a fiat vessel and holding it
to the patient to inhale. The results at
tending this method of treatment are re-
garded as indicating that oil of turpen-
tine is the best absorbent of chlorine gas,
and that, therefore, it can be employed
with advantage in operations and other
cases where chlorine is to be evaporated
in large quantities.

DECENRER--A REEVE SIZE.
BY ALDINE S. KIEFFER.


December winds are whispering emil
To barren oaks that crown the HILL
And to the dead leaves there;
A strange. sad song, 50 flin OF pam,
The sharp winds sing to hill and p'alh;-7
A do efu. diRge-for all the slain
That once Dloanled sweety far
The pines and cedars wear their green
But MAKE m IRE desoate the scene
OF darkness and decay:
Sole mournerS on the hillside there,
They moan their tones of wild despair
That swell upon the Wintry air,
Then sadly ebb away.
And many a human tree, tonight
Stands leaaess in the waning light
Of Hopes expiring beam;
Beneath them all their dead eaye5lie;
Above them hangs wintry sky
Around ts}emehiB winds wall aud Ugh
That joy is but a dream,
Pale lovers, whose young loves are dead;
Sad bards, whose glorious dreams have fled,
Stand on LIES windy hill;
And with them stands the ruined maid,
Wnose leaves of joy have all decayed,
While unrelenting, undismayed
Lies wintry winds sing chill.
God pity all these human trees,
That sway in Lies wild windy breeze,
This'lone and dreary night,
And grant that an Eternal Spring
To each new robes of green may bring,
And ioy-birds once more sweetly sing,
In Summers Land of Light.
