A tho: ough'y qualified medical man
has recently, in the course of his prac-

The remedy is the bi-tartrate of potash,
the common creme of tartar of the
drug store two ounces dissolved in
boiling water, with the juice of lemon
and sugar added. Let the patient drink
as much as he likes, but not less than a
wineglassful every hour. In some of
his cases this medicine has exhibited
the most remarkable curative effects.

person stepped from the crowd into the
little open space in front of the Presi-
dent, leveled a pistol at him at dis
lance of about eight feet and attempted
to fire. 1t Was a percussion lock, and
the cap exploded without firing the
powder in the barrel. The explosion
of the cap was so loud that many per
