A Heavy Sleeper!

The Louisville Courier-Journal
says: "Alexander Emerson, a
youth living In the west end of
this city, has for the past six
months been subject to very Pc
culiar and unusual attacks of
somnia. The first indication he
has of an attack is severe ner-
vous headache, coming on soon af-
ter breakfast. In a short time,
usually by nine o'clock, he gets
drowsy, lies down, and Immediate
ly goes into deep sleep, which
continues for seventy.two hours
three days and nights. He can be
aroused with difficulty, and as soon
as left undisturbed goes to sleep
again. On the third morning his
sleep is disturbed by severe nerv-
Qua chiIis, and as thew rass off In
an ncul ~ twO, lie fels pses into
Aoand .eep, which continues until
tha neat nor Bg, When he wakes
rr very much exhausted. During
his sieep he nas no inclination to
eaa or drink, but rather an aver
sion I0r either when aroused. He
has recently heer placed under the
treatment II Dr.. II. Il. Porter, who
classes the case as rare form Of
neurasthemia."

The French Doctors Upon Marga
rinc Butter.

The Paris Academy Of Medicine has lately
made an investigation In regard to the health
fuiness OF margarine, or oleo-margarlne. as We
call it. IL seems that complaints had been
made to the French government that marga-
rfne had been substituted for butter IN the Paris
lunatic asylumS. aud the French Minister OF the
Interior asked the Academy OF Medicine TO give
an opinion Upon the matter In sanitary point
OF view. \ committee of Investigation was
appointed who found that the margarine was
so distastcful to the patients and employees OF
the aSylums that its use had been mostly abln-
dOned there but further inquiry developed the
fact that this substance Is manufactured on an
immense scale in Paris. and fits enylronS, and
the determination whether the product Is a
wholesome one therefore became Of very con-
Siderable Importance. Beginning at the bottom,
the committee give the history of margarine.
IT seems that NJ. INQUIRIES, VINO Is somewhat
noted as an experimenter in improved modes o Z

existence OF new ahmentary product which
he proposed as an economical substitute for
butter under the name OF margarine, oleomar-
garine, or margarine butter which consisted In
the mixture OF diluted milk with beef and other
fat, which had undergone an elaborate manipu-
1ation under high pressure and an elevated tenn
perature. This was found TO be unremlnera-
tive as commercial product, and later manu-
facturerS have added to the fat itself not al
ways of the purest quality from ten to thirty
Per cent OF a vegetable oil derived from the pea
nut, which. being cheap white, inodorous and
tasteleSs, effectualy serves the purpose OF adul-
iteration. The report OF the committee Is against
the use Of margarine In the asylumS and is also

dear. That which Is actually In use is an indus

age these things differently In France. When
our Congress Instituted an inquiry In the mat
ter and sent a committee of investigation on
north, the margarine manufacturers Of New
York captured them, and dined and Wined and
whiskied them until they didn't know amin ii fat
from fISi Oil or any other OIL and they came back
and reported Oleo-margarine to be altogether
lovely, in fact little better than genuine but

but perhaps they knew bitter than to try the
New York plan upon the doctors there. The
medical fraternity OF France, or OF this country
either, would not be so pllable as a congress
Sional committee.

The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1880-07-06

The attempt of the opponents to
democracy to fasten blame upon Gen.
eral Hancock for the murder of Mrs.
Surratt shows to what extreme mean.
politicians resort 10 attacking an enc.
NV. He was in command of the mill.
tary division in which Washington
was included when the hanging Of
Mrs. Surratt was accomplished. Cen
eral Augur was in command of the
department, and the military commits
sion that tried Mrs. Surratt appointed
its own hangman. who was Gen. Hart.
ranft, ex-governor of Pennsylvania.
Gen. Hancock did all he could to save
Mrs. Surratt. He obeyed the writ of
habeas corpus issued in her behalf by
Judge Wylie. and left the court only
by permission of the Judge, after ex-
hibiting the peremptory order of An.
drew johnson suspeDding the writ of
habeas corpus in the District of Co
lumbia. He tried to obtain an inter
view for Mrs. Surratt with President
johnson, and when the day of execu-
cution came, Gen. Hancock stationed
q line Of couriers from the executive
mansion to the place of execution. in
order that the hoped-for reprieve
might be instantly communicated.

1t is wrong to bet. But il men
will bet it is no more wrong to bet
and win than to bet and lose there.
fore, We advise our friends il they
would l,et to win, bet on Hancock.
Men will bet on elections; they are
already at it. They are betting. some
on Hancock and some on English.
Those who bet on Hancock, however,
bet the most money. They give odds.
In New York city there has been, &C.
cordiEg to the Herald, already con-
siderable betting on the result of the
ensuing presidential election among
the brokers and habitues of Wall
street and the stock exchange. 1t is
significant that the favorite is Han.
cock and in the majority of the wagers
reported odds are given on the success
of the democratic nominee. A we'll
known banker has booked q wager of
$500 to $500 on the Cincinnati candi-
date, and several of the lesser lights
of the street have put their money on
the democratic horse. As Wall street
men are not politicians and take
strictly business view of the chances,
without being influenced much by
partizan enthusiasm, the fact that
Hancock leads in their betting books
is not without importance in est,mat-
ing the future Of the two parties.
