WASHINGTON Cry, Aug. 13.-Dr. Ham
Inond tried some more experiments yester-
day with the elixir Of life or tonic, as he
prefers to call it. The material was taken
directly to the laboratory from the slaughter
house and the patients notified that an injec-
ton would be made in a few minutes. The
gland was from an almost full-grown sheep.
The liquid was about of the consistency Of
water, limpid, and opalescent Taking a
small hypodermic syringe the doctor filled it
with the mixture Then the needle-like
nozzle was screwed into the syringe and the
first subject called in. He was a man 62
years old, victim of muscular rheumatism
in the left arm. The doctor pinched up
piece Of the skin between the thumb and
forefinger, ran the needle of the syringe in
under the skin, pressed the piston, and thirty
drops of the elixir, just forty minutes after
the sheep was killed, was injected into the
rheumatlc's circulatory system His arm is
much better now; in fact he can use it as
well as ever
Cured of Heart Trouble.
Patient No. was 63 years old, and had
heart trouble. He had been taking the
elixir about a week, and now his heart beats
as it should, with never skip Case No 8,
had the elixir injected but once before, and
he said yesterday morning that he felt
much better. His trouble is nervous pros
tratipn The fourth patient was a man SO
years old, suffering from impotency.
DIR. Hammond has not yet tried the treat
ment on any hut male patients, but he has
in his eye lady of middle age who is a vic
tim of melanchola on whom the elixir may
be tried. The ladies will watch the result
OF this experiment with close attention
The patients treated seem unable to de
scribe the effects of the elixir, or rather una
bile to compare it to the effects of other med
icine. No. l, the rheumatic, says it makes
him feel younger and stronger and better
every way. No. s. the nervous man, says he
is unable TO feel any effects of any sort He
has also been in the habit of using bromides
and this may retard the action of the elixir
