LAWSUIT interesting TO the members of
the medical profession, as well as to apothe-
carries, is before the courts in Montreal A
French Canadian practitioner wishing to pre-
scribe -quinine for a child. through absent
mindedness wrote upon his prescription bisul-
phate OF morphine, instead of bisulphate of
qulnlne. The paper was taken to an apothecary,
whose assistant, preceiying an error at once,
attempted a substitution, and made up the
powders with sulphate OF morphine. The result
was fatal. And now curioqsly complicated
question has to be settled by the judges. The
father of the child has sued the doctor because
it was through his Observation-Disclosures that the
Child lost its life. The doctor has sued the
apothecary for all the damages to which the
fathers suit may put him. He pleads that he
ordered b1sulphate of morphine, and that ii such
substance existed aud ii tne apothecary had
sent it to the child he would be responsible, but
he never ordered sulphate of morphine aud it
was the sulphate of morphine that killed the
child.

second fance had to join the army, and left
the village for several years. SO it was with a
third and fourth. The fifth and sixth were
drowned. The seventh and eighth found the
young lady's fortune too small. The ninth got
drunk on the betrothal day and tried to beat his
lady love; so she sent him away. The tenth
seemed everything that could be wished, but
just as the marriage was going to take place
news came that this perfect fance had wife
and several children in Bessarabia. A few weeks
afterward an eleventh sutton presented himself,
and the wedding day was fixed but the evening
before the bridegroom suddenly decamped.
This last blow was too much. The girl poisoned
herself.
