w. Palmer, a prominent physician of
Detroit. has been experimenting with
the elixir of life, and with remarkable
results. His patients were sixty and sew
enty years old, respectively. The eldest
man was deorepit, and had been in fail
ing health for years. The first Injection
seemed to put new life into him, and
with the second administration the effect
has been remarkable. He walks
erect, has the appearance of
long life ahead of him,
and says he feels stronger than for years.
The younger man did not indicate such
pronounced results on the first trial, but
with the second he showed the rejuven-
atIng effects, and asserts his belief that
the new remedy is a life preserver. if not
a cure-all Dr. Palmer says: 81 have
Just begun experimenting I do not
know what the discovery may result in.
This I do know: It's immediate effect is
to eXhilerate and tone up, and 1 believe
in many cases it may save life in bridging
over crisis. The preparation is in no
sense dangerous, for an antiseptic enters
into its composition and its base is from
the healthiest of animals. -
CURES AT HAMILTON.
HAMILTON, ONO, Aug. The elixir
Of life has almost monopolized the atten-
ton of the medical fraternity of Hamil-
ton for the past week, several of our
physicians making experiments to-day.
The vital fluid was prepared by DR..
Charles Krone. The first experiment
was made by Drs. Krone, Kumler and
Huston, the patient being Louis Pochard,
aged seventy-one years. He has been
almost cripple from rheumatism for the
past four years. The fluid was injected
into the right arm and leg. Three hours
after the operation the patient claimed
that he was almast free from pain and
talked almost incessantly, the effect
being similar to that of large
dram of liquor. These physicians do not
speak in very high terms of the elixir,
and are inclined to think that it only
acted as a stimulant and the effect is
of short duration. The other patient was
tifty-nine years old, this experiment
being made by DR.. Trebel. I. F. SUIT
terlin has for some time been under the
care of physicians from cirrhosis of the
liver and rheumatism of the left side. In
this case three injections were made
two in the right leg and one in the right
arm. Upon receiving he first injection
he complained of a tingling sensation
throughout the entire right side of the
body. After a few moments his face be-
came flushed and presented the appear
ance of his having taken glass of wine
or whisky. He evinced q constant desire
to talk. At o clock the symptoms that
were first shown were still on, and he
could move his right arm and leg freely,
something he has been unable to do for
the past five years. This case evidently
gives great promise of remarkable
results, and will be watched with great
AN ELDERLY RHEUMATIC.
PERU, IND. , Aug. 12.-The physicians
OF this city are greatly interested in the
Brown-Sequard elixir of life. The first
trial was given it Saturday by DR.. H.
Alfred, a leading physician, and the re-
suits are highly gratifying. The elixir
was prepared from the glands of bull
lock just killed, the patient being MIR.
Evarts, an elderly rheumatic. The fluid
was injected in the calves of the legs.
The effects were Immediately felt, and
sustained up to this time. Mr.. Evarts
says he feels very much invigorated. The
will test the virtues of the
elixir.

MIR. Roth seemed like new man, and
besides being able to move his arms and
legs, could throw them about at viii
without the least pain. He had suffered
little or no pain since the elixir COM
menced to work on him and will follow
t up with other injections. The test was
made against his viii, so that there is no
in his case.
