WAsaISarcN, July 3l.--Dr, William a.
Hammond OF this city, is experimenting
with the elixir Of HE ressntiy discovered
by DR.. Brown 3equasd of Paris, ANA thus
far he says the results arc fully eqnsi 10
the promises given out By tina great Paris
physician. DIR. Hammond WAS sitting on
the veranda of Che hus new hospital,
which he has just bnilt outside the CITY
limits, when the Ford corr dependent
called on him to night.
st ia true said the doctor, 'that

first reported TO the American people bY
The WG'lR- for ID was s3hs World that

rather dubious and inclined more or less

the report was q French joks or that Dr.
Brown Sequasd was 'aruiher good nm

give complete idea Of the treatment. II
indicated, rather, that the elixir WIS g

Lamb, you know, is an animal that is goot
to est, but we don't eat guinea pigs. Tn
preparation Of the medicine Bnd tn
treatment OF the patient are very simple
