Chloral IN Uncertain Treacherous Drug.
AT a recent meeting Of the Cincinnati
Academy OF Medicine the uses of "chloral'
as n remedy were pretty thoroughly dis
cussed The experience of the profession
seemed to 10 that "chloral was an uncertain
and treacherous remedy Some persons are
more effect "a hy dose of four grains than
others are by a dose of twenty grains
Cases We're reported where 2O1 grains per
day had been given, and one case reported
by DR. Beck, Of the Baden army, where 430
grains were given in three and half hours,
the patient sleeping for thirty hours and
recovering.
The profession also agreed that chloral
Gun not successfully be administered hypo-
dermically. There were cases reported also
where death was caused by the administers
tion of ten or twenty grain doses, and where
dangerous symptoms resulted from a single
dve-grain dose Such a remedy can not be
regarded less than dangerous in any except

After the medicine man has been admitted

never been divulged. The outsider hears the

II is admitted that few of the medicine
men do have some little knowledge of the
poisonous effects of some herbs, and that
some of them produce beneficial effects upon
the sick. But they know nothing of differ
ences in effects TO be obtained in the young
and old, the weak and strong, of small or
large doses, or of changes in the herbs TO be
observed from gathering them at different
stages of growth or at different seasons
What little of the remedial effects they know
seems to have been obtained from the mission
aries and traders, That they use poisons to
kill their enemies is true occasionally, but
they use arsenic or strychnine for this pur-
pose, and these are obtained from hunters or
traders. When effects are obtained by the
use Of drugs Of any kind, they do not believe
it the result of the action of the article used,
but Of its spirit. -Globe-Democrat.

that the Haggard nursery reckoned among

wooden doll, which had been handed down
from n former generation, and was regarded,
ugly as it was, with peculiar affection by tho
girls Of the family. Tho doll, which had lost
its eyes in the course of time, was known ia
all the children as "She," this name having
been bestowed, it is said, by faithful old
nurse in the family's employ. Figaro

were forced to jump from tho third story.
Fourteen jumped on the west side of the
building and were frightfully injured, six Of
them dying within an hour. Four others
will die.
The names Of the de1d nre: Joseph Dnrner,

individually at the depot and two big
trains cirried them to Waldheim cemetery.

sembled anything rather than people bent on
