many patent medicines, and who kept a
large drug house on Broadway, New

stopping In this city. When in conver-
sation he told wonderful tales of what
he intendedlto do in the future, and for a
man whose business~has been wrecked,
spoke profoundly confident. On Wednes-
day last two ply ysicians examined him,
and pronounced him insane. They then
made affidavit before Aldermen, re-
cited the examination, and on Friday
DR.. Helmbold was removed to DR.. Kirk
