RI have recourse to sedatve or even an opiate,
in dangerous cases OF nervous inquietude, but
the continued use of such unnatural pallatlVes Is
greatly to be deprecated. Though not, in re-
strcted sense, a specific for nervousness, Hostet-
ter's Stomach Btters is eminently calculated to
allay and eventually overcome it, tact which
the recorded experience of many goes to substan-
tiate. This inestlnable tonic, by promoting d.
gestion, assimilation and secretion, touches the
three key notes upon which the harmony OF all
the bodily organs depends, and the result Is that
fresh stores of vitality are ditfused through the
system, of which the nerves receive their que
appa-tionment, and grow tranquil as they gathel
strength.

ALLEGED MISUNDERSTANDING AND BIsMUrH
FOUND IN THE STOMACH OF THE DECEASED.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY ON THE TRIAL oF~THE
FOUND IN THE STOMACH OF THE DECEASED.
WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 6, 1879.
In the Hayden trial to-day Dr. PilIsbury gave
testimony corroboratve of the evidence of
other physicians at the autopsy. and said
the post-mortem evidence OF bisnruth
poison appears the same as arsenic. Professor W.
b. Ill., of Harvard College. testified at length as.to
his analysis of the stomach OF tho deceased. He not
only found bismuth but white arsenic and ex-
hibited in court in tube the arsenic takon
from her body. The finding OF bismuth
created sensation in court, 1t being looked
upon disproving the theory OF the defence
that the arsenic had been given by mistake in the
medicine prescribed Professor Hills tests we're
very ell iborate and the final result of his analysis
was discovery OF 7S-I0O grains Of arsenic in the
stomach. 77-10U in tho liver and S6-lOO i'll
tho intestines. The arsenic resulting from
this analysis was submitted to the jury.
The witness further stated thersswere indications
that arsenic entered the body during life: giving
this opinion he said thathe fonnd subni
tratc of bsmuth in small quality. He also said 1t
would take twenty ounces of bisinuth of tho
kind he examined to contain mtHc arsenic ~ hc
found in the parts examined.
DIR. Edward s. Wood. professor of chemistry of the
Harvard Medical school, corroboratcd Professor
Hill's testimony. He had found III the stomach
577 grains OF arsenic and in the intestines 2.4S
grains; also traces in tho liver anil brain. Wit
ness said there recognized symptoms
of arsencal poison i'll the symptoms testified
to; tho effect OF the administration of morphine
with arsenic would be to allay pain; arsenic intro
duced after death would not produce many material
facts of importanco.in this case
The prosecution rested for the present and tho
court adjourned till Monday. when tho will be-
opened for the defence.

DESTRUCTION OF THE OLD MORGUE.
The Fire Started by Sparks on a
Wooden Roof.

A fire broke out in the old pavilion adjoining
Bellevue Hospital last night that resulted in the
death of three children and one woman. Tho

of wood iron and glass. and stood between the hos
pital proper and Twenty-sixth street. 1t was IL"
shaped aud contained at the moment OF the fire six
tcen women and thirteen children. They were
all patients of the hospital and some
were seriously ill. The children ranged
in age from three to ten years and were Of both
sexes. Two nurses kept on watch in the pavil-
ion at night One had room to herself, which was
in the main corner made by the angle Of the H.
and tho other in the long end Of
the building. The whole interior was heated
by three large Stoves which were kept at what was
supposed to be moderate heat continually. One
of these stoves was in the room occupied by the
principal nurse. another in the main hall or
passage way between the beds. and tho third was in
the lower hall that turned toward the hospital.
At Ave minutes to eleven O'Clock last evening this
nurse noticed that spark from the stove had in
Bome manner set the roof OF the house over her
head in flames. She called out with all her might
for assistance. and by dint of shouting and hurrying
to and fro to those sleeping in the
pavilion. she worked herself into ft of hysteria
and had to be afterward carried out by OF the
male patients from the hospital. The women and
children thus suddenly awakened from sleep to
Imminent danger of their lives snatched up blankets
and counterpanes. and anything that came to hand

Others that egress obtained. Two painters who
