ELIXIR OF LIFE.

Tests of the Wonderful Discovery by
Eminent Physicians Some Pro-
NnOunce it a Humbug.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 10.-Dr. @. 81. Brain
ard, who made the experiments here with the
Brown-Sequard formulas is one of Cleveland's
most reliable practitioners. He has an inn
mense practice and his standing as a physi-
clan Is excellent. He reports his tests with
the "elixir of life" as being eminently salts
factory.
DR.. H. F. Biggar, who has made similar
experiments is homeopathic physician of
of this city. who is known favorably all over
the West.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10.-Sinoe an appar-
emily successful experiment with the Brown
Sequard elixir upon Noah A. Clarke last week,
no fewer than twenty-five enfeebled and in.
firm old men in Indianapolis have applied to
physicians here for injections of the sub
stance, and all are now undergoing the first
effects of it with varying manifestations.
-Four patients of DIR. K. @. WOODBURY., who
were each given injections of 60 drops have
been doing things that they have heretofore
been unable to do for twenty years. One
man read newspaper in twilight without
| spectacles, which he had not done before fol-
| ten years. A commercial traveller declared
| that it afforded him relief from chronic spi
nal trouble.
| DR.. Punnan, who experimental upon thu
man Clarke with such success yesterday, ad
ministered the injection to eight persons, 81,
of whom are prominent in business, Wit
were averse to having their names mad
public. Each was given thirty drops of tn
elixir.
DR.. w. D. Fletcher, former superintendent
of the Indiana insane hospital, ia also max
ing experiments, and all report gratifying
| results, except in one case where 1t had NJ
psrceptible effect. Many persons have beel
given the injection at the city dispensary
and among the decrepit old men of the cit
the elixir has become the rage. Many O
the physicians, however, publicly denounc
1t as humbug, and refuse to have anythin
to do with the experiments that are bein
| made.
DR.. carp, secretary of the city board Q
health. is one of this class, and he declare
the effect is mental and not physical. 81
maintains that if,,the injection has any stimu
lating effect the patients mind contribute
it just as water injected under the nam
of morphine has often had chimerical Of
feet. In the Central College of Physician
he proposes to make an experiment t
demonstrate the truthfulness of his assel
tions. Pure water will be used, but the PIT
tient will be made to believe it is the elixil

Ketch Lowers His Record-Ed AMMAN
Sucker.
BUFFALO, Aug. 10.-This was the fourth
day of the grand circuit meeting, but the at
tendance was very light owing to the dis
agreeable weather, cold wind blowing all
the afternoon after a shower which fell about
noon. There was only two events on the pro-
gramme, as the free-for-all had but one
starter, and was cancelled. The $50 trotting
class was quickly over, Ketch, the favorite,
being an easy winner. In the last heat
Ketch logged home In 2:22, making new
record for himself. Then came the last num-
Der on the card, the 2:17 pacing class. In
this the Michigan mare Lillian was the choice
at first, but after three heats won by Wilcox,
Emma and Mambrino Hannis, respectively,
Ed AMMAN was made the tavorite on account
of his we'll known endurance. Finally, after
Doctor N. had got heat and Emma a
second one, Amman came on and captured
the first money by outlasting the party.
Lillian stayed in until she was distanced,
while several others were wisely drawn. 1t
was dusk when the eight-heat contest was
ended. Johnstons attempt to beat the
record resulted in a very fast mile under
the circumstances, 2:0sal being the official
time.
