DR.. Brown-Sequard, an eminent French
physician, claims TO have discovered verit'
able elixir of life, a few drops of which in
jected into the veins of the arms or legs will
make the old and feeble strong and vigorous
The good effect, he asserts, will last for sever
al weeks. The compound is colorless fluid,
made from certain portions Of lamb,
guinea-pg or rabbit. Physicians ap-
pear TO be divided in opinion as TO
the merits of the discovery, some de-
ly shake the head and say with an air of pro-
found wisdom that there may be something
in it.
Some interesting experiments with the al
legged elixir were made on Monday, at the
Medco Chirurgical Hospital in Philadelphia,
in the presence Of prominent medical and
professional men, The effect on several infrm
men from 60 TO 70 years Of age was general
sense of lightness or exhilaration. A young
man of 90 years, without single complaint,
submitted to the test as "martyr to science"
After the injection was made he complained
of nausea, but in the course of half an hour
this passed away and he felt buoyant and
bright. Several newspaper men also allow
cd the experiment to be tried upon them, but
being somewhat hardened perhaps, by the
life they lead, they were proof against it and
showed no signs of being affected by the
operation.
Late at night, one of the men experiment
ed upon said he felt his flesh creeping all
over him. Another said he felt as if he had
had several big drinks and was happy &C.
COrdngly.
A physician in Lima, Ohio, prepared some
of the elixir and tried its effect on an old wo-
man addicted to eating morphine. When
bedtime came she retired without taking her
customary dose of morphine and for the first
time in years slept soundy during the night
and awokc the next morning greatly refresh
ed. Another man who was run down in
health received an injection of the elixir
After the injection, for an hour, there was
no change in either his appearance or feeling,
but presently his checks flushed and bright
ness commenced filling his eyes. The good
effect increased until he was livelier in spirits
and acted as though he was new man. He
is the happicst man in town and says that il
the effects of the elixir wear away he will
have more at any cost,
1t is rather significant fact, however, that
those who have no faith in the remedy re-
ceive no apparent benefit from 1t. The
Elixir of Life" opens new field for the
manufacturers Of patent medicines. Fortifi-
cd with the name and prestige of so eminent
man as Dr. Brown-Sequard they can put
the new remedy on the market and by Judi
cious advertising make fortune out of it.
In the meantime the effort to make old
men and old women young again affords di-
version to the public during a dull season and
is u brisk advertisement for the doctors who
are irving the eypermenis
