Laughter as a Medicine.

4 short time since two individuals were
lying in one room very sick, one with brain
fever and the other with an aggravated case
of the mumps. They were so low that
watchers were needed every night and it was
thought doubtful if the one sick of fever
could recover A gentleman was engaged
to watch over night. his duty being to wake
the nurse whenever i, became necessary to
administer medicine In the course of the
night both watcher and nurse fell asleep.
The man with the mumps lay watching the
clock, and saw that it was time 10 give the
fever patient his potion. He was unable TO
speak aloud or to move any portion of his
body except his arms, but seizing pillow,
he managed to strike the watcher in the
face with it. Thus suddenly awakened, the
watcher sprang from his seat, falling to the
floor, and awakened both the nurse and the
fever patient. The incident struck the sick
men as very ludicrous, and they laughed
heartily at it for some fifteen or twenty
minutes. When the doctor came in the
morning he found his patient vastly i'm
proved; said he never knew so sudden a
turn for the better, and now both are up
and well. Who says laughter is not the
hest of medicines And this reminds the
writer of another case. A gentleman was
suffering from an liberation of the throat,
| which at length became so swollen that his

individual shook hands with the diving man
and then went away weeping. Last Of all

went away also with its hands over its eyes.

was forced to laugh, and laughed so heartily

done quickly. His engagement was an i'm

He felt cheaper and worse than If he had

The Chief Justice dashed out of the sta

identify him. He had only ive minutes
left. At the entrance to saloon be accost-
