fore the Lord We Bow and instead
OF placing the slur on the first two
syllablcs, he placed it on the last one,
and rendered it thus: Before tho

was immense. As he had and still has
a powerful and beautiful voice, his
hearers were thoroughly electrified at
his unwonted and unlooked-for canine
imitation. He has never entirely re-

WHOOPlNG-COUGH.
Free Cure For Sick Babies in Philadcl-
phia--Good Also For Typhus Fever.

PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-Babies are
cured of whooping cough and typhus fever
by the scores at the gas-purifying es-
tablishment at the eastern end of Chest
nut street bridge The cure is free and
does not cost the city any thing. The
babies are brought there by their friends
and their mothers, and are placed over the
purifying pan, from which there is a con-
slant escape of ammonia. The vapors
make the youngsters cough until their
little heads threaten to drop off
and the big tears gather in their
eyes. The more they cough, however, the
better, because they are coughing the dis
ease away. Frequently there are dozens
of babies and young children around the
pans, all coughing and making great
bluster and splutter. James Gilmour, one
of the attendants at the pans, has been at
the purifying house iifty-three years, and
he is a great friend of the sick babies and
their mothers. He says that the whoop-
ing-cough appears to be very bad about
the CITY now. iudging from the number of
ment for this disease is generally recon.
mended by Philadelphia physicians, and is
very successful.
