Succe&sfuI Treatment OF Cholera.

Our Consul at Port Louis, Mauritius'
transmits 10 the State Departn ent an &C
count of the successful treatment Of
cholera in that vicinity by NIT. Flyers,
" 1t shows that MIR. Flyers, although
not physician, saved by the following
simple treatment 149 persons outtt 100
who were attacked by the disease. On
the first APPEARANCE Of an attack, or as
soon as possible afterward, there was
Administered an tmetic of 30 grains of
ipecacuan ba and grains of tartar eme-
tic. After the emetic had acted ,coplous
doses of warm water were given to
clear the stomach. In case either vomit-
ing or purging continued, the usual
doses Dt diluted sulphuric acid were
sure TO stop it" The patient, Mr.. Flyers
recommends, should not be allowed to
eat anything until the tone of the stom-
ach has been restored.

The Burglar and the Editor.

The Burglar and the Editor.
GLACIs.
A burglar climbed into an editors room.
Needy and poor was he,
And he saw in the dim, uncertain gloom,
with legs as long as the stem of broom,
A pair of trousers, .rl just freeze to EN-
He chuckled with hendish glee.
SCARF. /
He lifted them up from the back of chair;
Lightly they hung on his arm
they were the editors only pair,
Thinner than gossamer everywhere,
Oh but the knees were worn and bare!
Good clothes-when the weather is warm.
coUETERsCARP.
Ali over the room he searched in vain;
There was no more to fad;
There was no sign Of sordid gain,
No passing drops from golden rain.
Only the wealth Of the sleepers brain,
The peace Of the editors mind.
PARAPET.
He turned his back on that happy home.
Thoughtfully netting those pants;
Out of the window he cautiously cleme;
He emptied the pockets broken comb,
A stub of pencil, manuscript poem,
Answered his searching glance.
RAMPART.
He started; the tears flashed into his eyes.
he leaned up against the fence;
A look of plying, mute surprise
Softened his face he stuffed his cries,
He looked at his swag and measured its size
value-about nine cents
TERREPLEIN.
Into his pockets his own. he went,
And he dragged out ten-dollar bill;
And he hastily crammed it, every cent,
Into the editors pocket, and bent
The trousers into a wad and sent
Them over the window sill.
SLOPE.
Then on to wealthierlhouse he sped.
"'Twas charity well bestowed
He said to himself. and when night had fled,
And the editor rose from his virtuOus bed
And found the money, he whisTled, and said:
"WeD, am essentially blowed!"

A Misleading Symptom.

A notorious quack found his business
Increasing to such an extent that be was
obliged to take an assistant. He did not,
however, attempt to impose upon his ju.
Nor as he did upon the public, very can
didly admitting that his reputation rested
on series of fortunate guesses and lucky
accidents. you come with me and pay
few visits. You will very soon get the
hang of the thing.'
The first house they called at they found
the master in bed. Quack Senior, the
moment he set eyes on the plaintiff. said {:
There, now; how men of your time of
life can be imprudent enough to indulge
in surfeit Of watermelon, I can't see
How many melons did you eat this morn
ing The best part OF three, I'll be bound. >
The old man, wondering at the acuteness
of his medical adviser, admitted that he
was right in every particular. The doctor
prescribed some simple remedy, and took
his fee and his leave.
No sooner were they outside than the
embryo quack, burning to acquire such an
important professional secret, commenced:
"How did you know that the man had
been eating watermelon ? You never
looked at his tongue, Or"

made an independent visit.

he to his patient, ''when you have been
eating horse-that's enough to sicken a
Jerseyman."
Horses ~ said the sufferer family. yet

Yes, horse" said Esculapius Ju-

idea was more fully borne in upon him
Get out of here, you Internal quack." and
With the assistance of couple o. til,
patients stalwart sons, the pretender to
medical science was bounced.
And yet" he said, when he explained
his adventure to his mentor, who had lost
a patient by his assistants iujudici ons

woodshed as plainly as you saw the water
melon rinds.''
