A Remarkable Recovery.

DR.. Robert St. George Dryanforth of
Washington relates a curious experience
of his own during the civil war, and
later while acting as a correspondent in
the Franco-Gcrman war. While serving
in the first great struggle the doctor was
shot through tho lungs and was invalided.
He subsequently went to Europe for his
health and remained there some years.
When the German war broke out he
became correspondent for the New York
Tribune, and IN one of the battles he
was shot through the base of the skull.
He caught a heavy cold while living
wounded on the battlefield, and his
wound in the lungs troubled him so
much that his life was despaired of and
