A young man Of Monroe street, aged
nineteen, had q lady love of sixteen.
They fell out, OF ruptured friendly
relations as it were. The young man
felt bad, fixed up a dose of arsenic,
and sat down to write a few farewells.
The bulk of the drug settled, and he
drank off the top water, leaving the
sediment. 1t made him very sick,
but he will get over it.
Wehave a very big river just now,
and unusually so for the time of year.
1t has, however, about reached its
maximum. and there is several feet
yet to spare between its present level
and the danger line. 1t stood this

That excellent man, DR.. Woodward,
who died in this city during the cpl
demic Of 1873, had been a sufferer for
many years. He told the writer Of
this, that for several years, the cause
of his suffering was inexplicable.
Accidentally, observing some white
powder on his bedstead, he tested it
and found it to be corrosive sublimate,
a preparation ~Ofmcrcury, which, with
out his knowledge had been used to
eradicate bed bugs. This at once
solved the mystery Of his disease. He
was poisoned by mercury. he never
recovered from its effects. The late
DR.. Allen was an intense sufferer for
thirty years from the effects of mer-
curry.
Corrosive Sublimate Is one Of the
most common applications used for
bed bugs, and, doubtless, there are
thousands ofinvalids from its effects
In view of its terrible, irremediable
effects, every paper in the country
should warn its readers against using
it. G.
