met his death, out in that solitary place,
wrestling alone with the dread monster,
in the gloom of winters night, until at
last, overpowered, he falls dead outside
in the snow; no hand to help, no ear to
hear his dying groan. The place is

THIRTY persons afflicted with danger
Gus disease were lately confined in one
hospital Ten of these were treated allo-
pathically, and five out of the ten, or
fifty per cent, recovered. Ten were
treated homeopathically, and seven out
of the ten, or seventy per cent, were
cured. The remaining ten were not
treated at all, except to an occasional
drink of Poujade's pure whisky, and all
recovered, and now say, that sick or well,
