Il have. often observed that phe-
nomena myself, returned the disciple.
How do You account for it?"
"The principal reason, as view it,
my young friend, is knowing how to
borrow the wherewithal. When you
haven't got it, and somebody else has,
if YOU only know how to do it you can
generally manage to keep up healthy
circulation. 1t is only necessary that
you have a large and ever-increasing
circle of acquaintance, my son, and
know how to play your cards, and you
can't help winning. This borrowing
business is the most ancient chestnut
in the world, but it is always fresh and
new to the victims. The world is made
up of feecers and persons willing to be
heeced, and if you are q man of infinite
variety you may continue to make mer-
ry at your friends expense as long as

tale of woe into his ear. If he is Meth

him except when he is surrounded by
acquaintance. Then he will be
ashamed to refuse. Between injudi-
cious sympathy and false pride you can
find field large enough for your talents.

A Cure for Hydrophokia.


In the Therapeutic Gazette for Nc
vember, 1884, we find letter from DIR.
George Valiant, of 442 West Twenty
fourth street, New York City, in which
he sets forth the virtues Of simata ced-
ron as O positive cure for this dreaded
disease. He also cites two cases in
which he has given this drug in his own
practice, and in each case complete
cures have been the result. The rem
edy was given hypodermically as well
as by the mouth. In the cases which
are quoted this remedy was admins
tered, and in few moments relief from
the spasms took place, and the patient
was better, and continued until cured.
In one case the action of the cedron
produced in three days large ulcer,
which discharged a peculiar looking
matter, and with this matter the physi-
clan inoculated large tomcat, who
died in few hours, having developed
hydrophobia in all its symptoms.
It is quite evident, from the facts in
connection with the article, that the
Doctor is honest in his own convictions,
and that the matter should be brought
out is a credit to him as well as to the
publishers of the Therapeutic Ga
zette. Simata cedron is the seed of q
tree which grows in South America.
natural order SimdTnbGceR, somewhat
resembling an almond tree, and of the
order something similar to quassia; the
seeds are about the size of the cashew
nut. convex on one side, fiat or slightly
concave on the other, black, rough,
hard, and compact. Internally they
are yellow, and have bitter taste, in
odorous, and with q metallic luster.
Chemically they contain an intensely
bitter, crystalline substance, soluble in
boiling water, neutral to the test OF
paper, and called cedron.
This substance has been known by
the AE9srs and m IL p6 a Saa
the bite of some of the venemous ser,
penis and reptiles which abound in
these countries. In these places the
seeds are bruised and moistened with
whisky and bound upon the wound, and
o small portion of the seed chewed il
the mouth. It has been used in hydro
phobia after the spasms became very
severe.
If this is the case, and the remedy
can be depended upon, it is one of the
great medical discoveries of late, ant
we hope it will be carefully tried when
ever and wherever opportunity shall
exit, until we can add it to our list o.
vegetable remedies, instead of poison
ing by poison, and il will be O grea
deal better than inoculating people
with the virus, as has been suggested
by the French physicians recently.

Death Of the Brave Gen. Earle, While Lead
ing His Men TO Victory.
A dispatch from Gen. Wolseley, COM
manding the British forces in the Soudan,
gives the following particulars of the battle in
the desert, which resulted in the death of the
Gen. Earle: The fight occurred near the
Nile, a few miles above Dulka Island. The
Arabs had fortified pass aud had built
small fort on the left bank of the river.
When Gen. Earle's forces reached the pass
they were subjected to heavy fire from
field-guns which the Arabs had placed
in commanding positions. Gen. Earle
had no artillery, and commanded the
troops TO charge. 1t was more scramble
then charge, but the Arabs were driven
from the heights at the point of the bayonet,
and fell back slowly toward the river. All
that then remained to be captured was the
little fort on the river bank. AS the British
column advanced it was met by a steady
and we'll directed fire from behind sand and
wattlings, which composed the Arab fort,
and many men Of the attacking party were
killed. Gen. Earle again ordered the men
to charge, and put himself at the head OF
the column. He was killed during this
charge. The fort was ultimately captured,
but at terrible cost
The enemy was not great in point OF num-
bers, but his position was very strong and
difficult of access. They fought with most
determined bravery. Gen. Earle was among
the foremost in the attack, and his fall was
the cause Of deep lament from every officer
and man in the force. He was killed on
the summit of the hills behind which the
enemy was posted. AT almost the same
time Lieut.. Col. Eyre was killed.
The camp was captured by the Nineteenth
Hussars. The English success was COM
plete. Ten standards were among the
spoils of victory. The enemy's dead were
lying thick among the rocks and in an open
field where, when they found themselves
surrounded, they made a desperate effort to
rush through an English column, in which
rush but few escaped.
The English losses consist of Gen. Earle
