A gentleman in Honolulu, who
has made a partial trial of the DIR,
Browne Sequard Elixir, gives below
his experience and the moddH opey-
Uadi of the procurement, prepare
ton and administration OF the elixir
in his case, and as indicated Ivy DIR.
Sequard himself:
Three male guinea pigs tnYolun-
tarily furnished the material from
which the elixir was extracted. At
intervals of two to four days, one Of
the pigs unwilliugly yielded, under
the surgeons knife, the parts pecu
liar to its sex, and the blood and
secretions of these glands were
promptly squeezed out, filtered, and
injected into the arms, thighs and
hips of the patient. Within less
than fifty minutes from the time the
pig became minus portion of Its
natural economy, and while the re-
sultant essence was being transfer
red into the body and blood of the
patient, the pig was eating grass in

This gentleman says he suffered
no Inconvenience from the use of
the elixir, and that he derived con-
siderable benefit from one Of the
pigs, which was large, healthy and
full grown, but thinks he did not
derive much, if any, benefit from
the other two, which were young
and not full! grown, and he would
not use another young one.
DR.. Sequard, who is enc of the
most learned, scientific and eminent
physicians in the world Gas it is adj
mitted), never claimed nor said that
he had discovered The tabled elixir
of Life" making old people young
again. He only gave the results OF
his experiments upon himself and
other animals, and its marvelousiy
aud wonderfully beneficial effects
upon himself, and said hls expert.
cnces warranted still further expert
ments in the same direction, and
that he hoped they would be made.
To the foregoing may be added
the information that another doctor
in these islands has been expert
men,ing quite extensively with the
elixir. AT last accounts the results
were varying, but perhaps full re
port may one day be obtained.
