A Cure for Hydrsphsbia.

A lady met me this morning, saying,
"Did you see that recipe for curing n.y.
drophobis in yesterdays papera" l
mad not seen it. swell" she continu-
ed, " it is just the cure I wanted you to
write about two or three years ago
the old Chester Valley cure. It never
was known to fail, and was used in
hundreds of cases in the eastern part of
the State. I remember hearing Of it a.
long as I can remember any thing. I
have told people, and told and talked,
and no one would mind me. tried to
get you to write q letter about it, and
now you must, for people will not be-
lieve. They will read and forget all
about it."
In her old home in Chester County,
Pennsylvania, lived German named
Joseph Emery, who used to be sent for
far and wide when any one had been
bitten by q rabid animal. He went to
his patient carrying something under
stood to be root, which he himself
dug in the woods. He MIXED pint of
milk fresh from the COW, put the root
into it, boiled it, gave it to the patient
fasting; made him fast after taking it /;
gave q second and third dose on alter
nate days, and never failed in effecting
cure. In some way which she has
forgotten his secret transpired, and the
root was known to be elecampane.
The story, current in the country,
was that an old German made the dis
covery in the days of Penn, and applied
to the Pennsylvania Legislature for q
grant of $500 for making his secret
public. His offer was treated with con-
tempt, and he resolved that his knowl-
edge should die with him; but drunk
en- son knew it, wrote cut the recipe,
making number of copies, and tried
to sell them at 81 apiece. One of them
was offered to my informant's grand
father, who laughed at this vendor of
important medicinal knowledge. He
only succeeded in selling two, one of
these to the man who made such effect
i've use of it. So well did he establish
the local reputation of his specific, that
in his neighborhood folks we're not
afraid of mad dogs. His reputation
was parallel to that of DR.. Marchant,
of Greensburg, to whom every one in
this part of the country used to 60 or
send when bitten by q mad dog.
The intelligence and integrity of my
informant are beyond question, and l
regret that her love of privacy should
prevent her giving the weight of her
name to her conviction that you have
published an unfailing specific for by
drophobia. Thepeople Of Chester Val
ley are not of a class likely to be misled
by superstition, and she is confident it
was general or universal belief that
Joseph Emery never failed to cure or
prevent hydrophobia. In one case the
spasms had begun before the first dose
was given, and the patient recovered.
The medicinal properties of elecam-
pane are very powerful. Milk itself is
a specific for many poisons; and while
the medical faculty know no cure for
this terrible disease, we should open
every avenue of light into the dark
subject. If the disease is one of the
Imagination, we want a specific to give
confidence and cure by the imagination;
but this looks like real cure Of q verit-
able disease.-Mrs. Jane G.. SUisshel,n,
in the Pittsburgh Commercial.

IT is under contemplation to break
up q very historical vessel at Sheerness,
that did good service for King James
H., in helping him to escape to France.
This vessel has been used as Q Govern
ment lighter, and occasionally as land
ing-stage for the Great Eastern steam
ship. 1t is named the Royal Escape,
and on the dock-yard books appears as
Lighter No. 4. The vessel in which
Charles II. sailed from Holland to re-
sumo the throne of England was two
years ago employed as landing stage
at Newhaven on the Sussex coast, and
probably does duty there to-day.

alligator, which had been placed, with
three or four older specimens, in q
pond in the new tropical room. The
little pachyderm, which is about
two years old and about 10 inches in
length, was missed from its favorite cor

directed to the matter, and noticing
something unusual about the jaws Of
one of the larger alligators, he had the
