A Horse Saves a Boys Life.

Yesterday afternoon an incident oc-
Cured which proves that horses reason
as well as human beings. The Ex-
change Street swing bridge had just been
closed, and the large crowd of waiting
pedestrians were hurrying to cross,
when a little boy eight years of age
stumbled and fell directly in front of a
team which was attached to n mill wag-
on. The little fellow was in imminent
danger of being fatally crushed, for de-
spite the utmost efforts, the driver could
not check his horses in time to prevent
them from passing over the body of the
unfortunate child. The horse which
was on the side where the child lay
raised the foot which was in advance
and held it suspended in the air directly
over the boys body, until the little fell
low was picked up. The bystanders,
who had expected to see fatal accident,
were loud in their expressions of adj
miration at the conduct of the noble ami
mal.-ROchester Herald.

its plumage. In her hair the lady wore

How He Convinced Them.

Ex-Gov. J. w. Throckmorton certain

Texan. In his speech defending Ed

Mr.. Throckmorton then drew pisto

under his right, one from each boot
and huge bowie-knife from the back
of his neck, placing them upon the tn.

Having very dear friends so troubled with
this malady that death is looked for by them
almost as an angel of mercy, We set about in

number of specific eases examined we select
the following, which are only types of many.

copal Church who has suffered intellectually
from fits or epilepsy has been cured. Anoth-
err. n prominent Episcopal clergyman in Penn

most noted medical men in this country, and
in France and Germany, without success.
He at last gave up his pulpit in despair. DIR.

returned to his parish where he is now doing
full duty. Still another, business man Of
wealth, had become utterly wrecked in
mind us well as body rs to have been for
year or inmate of an insane asylum.
Dir. Turner has been the means of returning
him to his family and his business.
Some of our friends have since been cured
by this physician, and we will send his address
to any desiring it, For the same write to

MALARIAL POIsON.-A writer in the
Practitioner finds general consensus of
opinion among Salisbury, Tommasi-
Crudeli, Cohn, Lanzi and Terrigi as to
the vegetable nature of malarious poi
son, although they differ as to the exact
species of alga composing it. Besides
the curious intermissions of ague, there
are other points about malaria which
seem puzzling. One of these is the way
in which malaria may again exert its
power after long interval when the
system becomes depressed from other
causes. Lussana observed that poisons
taken into the stomach do not at once
pass into the general circulation, and in
deed when taken in small quantities
may never get into it at all. When the
poison in the portal circulation is too
great, the liver is unable to return the
whole of it, and so part of it passing
into the systemic circulation will reach
the nerve centers and thus produce its
poisonous effects. What is true of
metallic poisons Lussana believes is also
true of ague poison. If he is correct,
an explanation is afforded of such cases
as men who escaped illness when in
malarial districts but died afterward OF
malarial fever in places where there is
no malaria. Some reaction or depress-
ing influence had been at work which
favored the development in their sys-
TENS of the disease spores and their
passage into the general circulation.
The beneficial action of emetics and
purgatives as aids to quinine is due to
the removal they effect of Il quantity OF
bile, and with it probably a number of
spores, leaving those spores that remain
quite comfortable by quinine. In Mo
rocco, where -quinine is not readily OBJ
tanned, -ague is cured by emetics and
