Of the chief articles in the MdteriG Meiicd

CANS. The difficulty that was long ex-
perlenced in obtaining preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and

the last quarter Of a century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success This medicine, like
every other valuable thing has been imi.

do we'll to see that the obtain the genuine
"Helmbold Buchu," the only pure and
reliable preparation.

sent to bank for the purpose of drawing
money. Two Een stood near the place
where he was counting over the amount he
had received, some f600. One of the men
remarked to him. You've dropped FIVE

just put my foot on itfor the present, which
he did and continued counting his money.
1t was not till the sharpers learned that
they were trying their game on a smart

and as consequences he writes letters to
the Tines Among the many communl-
cations there is from once. K. Laporte,a
physician who has had experience In
African travel, which is worth nothing.
He says that hydrophobia, so far as he is
abls to judge, is unknown in Africa.
His theory is that the disease can only
be broken up by inducing free perspira-
tion. In fatal case under his care, re-
peated vapor baths failed to make the
patient perspire. Since then, DR.. La
porte has received an account from a
friend in China of the cure of coolie in
his employ, who had been bitten by a
rabid dog, and sixty days afterward
showed unquestionable symptoms of hy-
drophobia. The medicine used was
made by boiling handful of the leaves
of ddturG strdmonilm in pint of water
till half evaporated, and then straining
through linen cloth; it was administer
ed in one dose, in spite of the struggles
of the patient, who showed great aver
sion to swallowing any liquid. Before
long, violent paroxysm ensued, and
copious perspiration was elected; after
this, the patient slept eight hours, and
on waking was wholly free from hydro
phobic symptoms. AS stramonium is one
of the commonest weeds In our vacant
lots, there would be little difficulty in
procuring this medicine here, but the
risk of its use would be great, as such a
dose would probably be fatal poison to
healthy man.
