Two Noted Grave Robbers.

Our readers will remember the ac-
count given in these columns OF the
robbing of the grave of the Hon. Scott
Harrison, in Ohio, last May, the body
being found in the diseecting-room of
the Ohio Medical College. Public in
dignation justly brands any man as
scouudrel who will rob the grave of
the dead. But there are two noted
grave robbers in the country, so far
far from being the subjects Of the peo-
pies wrath, are universally lauded
for their virtues. The reason is plain.
While the former class steal the dead
bodies of our loved ones to submit
them to the dissecting knife, these
only rob the graves to restore the
living victims to our hearts and homes.
Their names-Dr, Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets-are household words
the world over. The Golden Medical
Discovery cures consumption, in its
early stages, and all bronchial, throat,
and lung affections; Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets are the most valuable lax
alive and cathartic.

A singular instance of superstition came

day last week, | found one of the children
suffering from a severe cough, and expressed
my opinion that it was a case in which
medical assistance should be obtained.
The mother of the boy agreed that 1t was
very bad, but said that before calling in a
doctor she intended to try a cure that she
had long used in similar cases, and never
found to fail. On being pressed to COM
municate the prescription, she gravely in-
formed me that the charm consisted in
HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND AND TAR,

Cure for Drunkenness.

The Scientific American contains
an account of an experimental test
of Liebig's theory for the cure habit
ual drunkenness. The experiment
consists of a simple change of diet,
and was tried upon twenty-sevcn per-
sons, with satisfactory results. The
diet proposed is farinaceous, and in
the cases reported was composed of
maccaroni, haricot, beans, driedpeas
and lentils. The dishes were made
palatable by being thoroughly boiled
and seasoned with butter or olive oil.
Breads of a highly glutinous quality
were used, care being taken to pre-
vent their being soured in course of
preparation. In this explanation Of
the theory, Liebig remarks that the
disinclination for alcoholic stimu-
lauts, after partaking Of such food, is
due to the carbonaceous starch con-
tanned therein, which renders un-
necessary and distasteful the carbon
of liquors. If this plan proves sue
cessful, it will be the medium of eff
fecting more thorough reform than
years of legislative enactment or
spasms of social work can possibly
accomplish.
