A New Cure for Hydrophobia.

M. Lesserteur has just given publicity
to plant which has a great reputation
as cure for rabies in the kingdom of
AMMAN This plant, of which the name
is hoangnan, is kind Of llama, closely
akin to the false angostura; its effects
are similar to those Of strychnine and
brucine. M. Bouley, in speaking of
this new remedy regrets that no new
facts corroborative of it's righteousness
are given, but is of opinion that the
property recently shown to belong to
rabbits of easily contracting hydropho-
bia by innoculation, should be utilized
for making experiments thus so easily
performed. In reference to this subject
NJ. Bouley related an anecdote about
garlic, substance which has always
had great reputation among remedies
against rabies, and is constantly found
as a principal integral portion in large
number of formula long kept secret. A
young man had been bitten by mad
dog and symptoms of rabies speedily
appeared. His family, in a state of the
greatest alarm, scarcely knowing what to
do with the sufferer, shut him up in
loft where some garlic had been left to
dry. In his delirium the poor fellow
seized the bundles of garlic, ate greed
lily of them and soon became exhausted
and fell into a deep sleep. When he
awoke he was cured and the symptoms
of rabies had disappeared British Med

drinking, try as he may. He'll end in
the gutter yet, in spite of his fathers
money and position
1t was June, and Sophronia sat in the
pretty rose covered arbor in her moth
er's neat, old-fashioned garden, singing
to herself as she sewed busily on dress
she was altering for that good woman,
who had no cause to complain of her
daughter now. 1t was fifteen months
since that affair of the lecture at New
bury, and Sophronia had entirely out
grown the advanced ideas which had
been SO ridiculed by the people of Ben
nings. She was as firm an advocate of
temperance as ever, but she felt no
scalp to lecture. What work she did
for the cause was done so quietly, that
no one knew of her efforts except those
she helped to a purer life, among whom
was old Joe Boone, who had become a
dustrious had he been for the past year.
Sophronia had undertaken the dis
trict school, much to her mothers Joy,
and had proved herself success as a
teacher.
The memorable lecture was never
mentioned between the mother and
daughter, though Sophronia often won
dered if Theodore Dwight had kept his
pledge. But she had no means of find
ing out, and could only hope for the
best. She was thinking of him this
bright June afternoon, and wishing she
could see him, when shadow fell across
her work, and looking up, she saw the
object of her thoughts standing in the
doorway. But how greatly was he
changed! The flush of dissipation, the
haeggard look about the eyes, were gone,
and the Theodore Dwight who now
stood before her in all the glory of young
manhood was a son of whom any father
might we'll have been proud.
Il have come at last, Miss Mar
BROOK he said, "and l am glad that
can tell you in all truth that l have
never broken my promise to you and
that now am never tempted to do SO.
| have brought you my father love and
thanks, for though he has never seen
you, he cannot but love you for what
you have done for me-
Happy Sophronia! her young enthusi-
aStlc heart bounded with delight and
she had not a regret in this supreme
moment for her failure in the town-hall.
Had it not been for that, this young
man would not now be standing before
her, freed from the terrible vice which
had almost broken his fathers proud
heart.
Theodore Dwight spent the entire
evening at the cottage, and his first
call was not by any means his last. All
through the summer and fall he came
often to Bennings and with the new
year claimed for his the hand of the
brave little woman whose platform at
