,i-, sin,pfy because, | suppose, these are the
q ar3rqIs mon which experiments are usu-
a1,,. ,7ade in the French laboratories, but
have adopted the lamb, which / think IS
4 letter. The lamb, you know, is an animal
that is good 20 eat, but we
don't eat guinea pigs. The prepara
ton Of the medicine and the treat
,nen+ NJ the patient are very simple. | take
the selected portion OF lamb freshly killed
and round il into a pulp in mortar; with
tbis mix a teaxDoouful or two of water
q and the result | filter through fine Swiss
u fltering uaper. The fluid, slightly thicker
s. tan water, comes through perfectly pure
Fl and llmuid. The fiit6ring must be carefully
q done, Tor if any shred or any part of the
pulp were injected under a patient's skin 1t
& would form abcesses and do harm.
The extract from a single lamb will be
Il sufficient for a dozen injections. 1t does
not matter to what part of the body the
q application is made, but the most conven-
lent place is under the skin Of the forearm
where the skin is comparatively slack. 1t
would hardly be safe to inject the fluid de-
rived from body twenty-tour hours after
the killing of the animal. The injection of
IA I.,t no ivi M az
patients has been common for many years,
and it Is well known that to inject the es-
II senca Of deeayed beef would kill the man.
"As soon as the lambs slaughtered by the
butcher no time Is wasted in pounding and
i.iterng, and within an hour Of the killing
of the lamb the Juice is circulating through
the patients veins and mingling with his
II blood. began my experiment first on my
self to assure myself that it was not dan
gerous to the patient. Since then l have
applied the elixir to several old gentlemen
without their knowing what it was One
man, about GO years of age, had his arm sc
nearly paTalyZed with rheumatism that fol-
n nearly year ne could not raise his hand &c
81 hi head Soon after the elixir was injected
III into the arm he was able to WELD it III any
q direction and almost as vigorously as he had
ri ever done.
Fl Up 70 the present my experiments have
been made without the patients knowledge
II but tomorrow am going to begin treating
a man IN this way at his own request, O
Fl course it is too early yet to draw an,
81 sweeping conclusions from the result OBJ
tanned. But as far as | have gone th,
results are certainly remarkable. When
Fl nave continued my experiments longer
ii snal De able to draw conclusions with more
II confidence. DR.. BrOwn-Sequard's calcula
ton is that an injection once month vii
suffice to keep man twenty or thirty YEAR
younger than be really is y
