A Cure for Neuralgia.
Louisville Medical News

Several evenings since was attacks
ed with severe neuralgia. After
restorting to friction, cold and hot app
plications, etc without obtaining any
relief, l lay upon my bed, trusting
that sleep might come and give me
respite. Still the excruciating pain
continued, and while was suffering
the ''tortures of the aoubly damned"
undecided whether to arouse some
tired druggist for bottle of chloro-
form or chop my head off with de-
cided preference, however, for the
chloroform), | suddenly bethought
me of what / had read of an anaes-
thetic which we always carry with us.
Thereupon l began TO initiate my lungs
TO their utmost capacity, and then
forcibly blew out all the air could.
Immediately the pain began to lessen,
and after few repetitions of the pro-
cess it had entirely ceased, being dis
placed by a delightful tickling sensa-
ron in the gums, and furthermore l
knew not, for in less time than it
takes to tell it l was sound asleep,
awakening next morning delightfully."-
refreshed, and without a symptom of
my ailasent left. Hence, you see. /
was not simply temporarily relieved,
but entirely well again. wish other
sufferers would try this and re port
results.

THE eminent French scientist, M.
Pasteur, has OF late been pursuing ex-
pcriments IN hydrophobla, and accord
ing to report his work has been attend
cd with the most gratifying results.
IL is claimed that he has discovered
that patients suffering from hydro
phoba can be innoculated with a
preparation which his experiments
have taught him To use, 50 that all
traces Of the disorder will be nutraliz>
ed. This, If n veritable discovery,
will be blessing to the human race,
not so great in its results, parhaps, as
the discovery of vaccination, but yet
quite as important in the medical
world. While small pox patient
who has reaped no benefit from vac
cinatioa, has yet chance of life, this
new discovery presents cure for a
iii iease which has hitherto been fatal.
This discovery should do something
towards reconciling the human race
to the practice OF viviSectiou.

tered in the Evergreen cemetery. A

would soon be homo. The coffin was
exhumed and when it was about being
opened at the Dyer residence. young
Dyer walked into the house and said,
when he saw what was being done,
Don't open it, for here am" His
appearance, as may we'll be supposed,
caused an exciting scene. 1t is sup

the body for the purpose of dissection
and found Dyer alive and treated him
until he was thoroughly recovered.
