| PARIS, Sept. 9.-Dr. Brown-Sequard. who
recently returned to Paris from Brighton.
where he has been pass ng his summer hol-
lday, is still pursuing his investigations in
reference to the methods of increasing vi
tality. His studies are now directed to-
ward accomplishing for women the same
result that he maintains has been reached
IN the case of men. that is to say, the
period of capacity for conception can be
prolonged by simultaneous inocculation
with substances primarily obtained from
female dogs. These researches have not
yet arrived at sufficiently advanced stage
to convince DR.. Brown-Sequard that a
practical application can be made in this
direction at the present, but several women
have already called upon him and offered
themselves Us subjects for these inocula-
lions.
DR.. Brown-Sequard received me on Fri
day afternoon at his residence in Paris.
The venerable academician was suffering
from an attack of acute muscular rheuma
tlsm OF the lower limbs that has kept him
IN bed for the last few days, but he is now

stiff and painful
As handel DR.. Brown Sequard a volu- |
mlnous package of cuttings from the Ameri- |
can papers referring to the experiments |
made with his NEGOTIATIONS, he smiled rather
sadly and said:
WHY, thought l knew your country
men pretty well but it seems that | was
mistaken. 1t never occurred to me that so /
many OF them would go off at half-cock as
1t were, and undertake experiments of this
KIND without first thoroughly mastering all
the preliminary details.'
Your elixir has certainly caused a great
in America
Please don't make use of that word
exclaimed DIR. Brown Sequard.. Il never
made use of the word elixir, still less the
words elixir of life Those are all express
Slons or inventions of sensational news
papers. II qHacks or ignorant men in
america have killed people, as stated by the r
New 7 ork papers, they would have avoided
committing those murders had they paid
he least attention to the most elementary \
'uIes as regards the sub-cusaneous iniec- Il
ION OF animal substances, or even if they 7

ectlons of animal matter have no dangers VI
Mess the substance begins to be decom- "
Osed. When this condition of things ey- &c
ITS no good can be obtained, and there is ca
rave danger of inflammation, abcesses and m

Mess the strictest atttenion is paid to the a

ey would upon an operation for the am

You seem to have gotmany letters from

lie OF envelopes bearing United States Isl
stage stamps. ;
Yes, receive about TWENTY-FIVE letters
lay from America. l have no private oie
cretary and never will have one, as 7 ha'

- w nat is your opinion of the wav in Sal

L am prepared TO say with the utmost Wo
inkness that their appropriations of the pre-
'thod seem to me to be either too laudi- lat
y, absurdly; so, in fact, on one hand and pri
depreca DRY, too vindictive may say, bill
the other hand. Public opinion has owe
ne to two extremes; there seems to be leg
no happy medium of criticism. The Tn
,Ws expressed by DR.. Loomis, of New WEI
rk, seem to me to be very just.'' we
DO you think that your old anti-vivisec- bla
lllsI enemies are the cause of the vindic- he
c views expressed in reference to the coli

Yes, I am afraid that the anti vivisec- sue
nlsts are at the bottom of a great deal of rea
but what annoys me most is that ex ex-
1ments should be made promiscuously. to
