whom she described as a tried and trusted
friend, whose authority was as good as hers
Yes, SIR said the tried ald trusted
friend IN question. There is not a seinulla
OF truth IN the ridiculous hbsls circulated
IN some of the papers that she has ever been
either laundrywoman, a clearinghouse
Keeper, or anything else but a lady Of birth
and education! The whole story 10 winch
you allude Is one of the most fantastic
tictIons which were ever put in circulation
by vlndictlve malice. She was the dauga-

From the Pittsblrg Dispatch.
That local application Of the Brown-Se-
guard Elixir of Life" first noted exclu-
sively in these columns, is still bearing
fruit in the way of stirring up curiosity
aud inquiry, though beyond its amusing
feat res, it will PROBABLY yield few tangible
results in the near future Dr. Cnevalier

CATION, was interviewed last night, and S i'd:

that any new remedy should be used in

have injected the "elixirn into six persons,
including myself; the latter being the first
person experimental on. OF those injected
ali have felt some exhileration, though
but scarcely noticeable i'll those who were
up to the top notch of health. All those
injected presented themselves and asked to
have it done, and were willing to take the
responsibility. Absolutely no i'll results

man who was temporarily much improved
by single injection not repea ed, has re-
Ia sed to nearly. though not quite, the CON
dltion he was in prior to ..the u,e of the
elixir" This was probably due to the
fact that he over-exerted himself; he felt so
young that he worked too hard.
One woman on whom | usel the prepara-
ton said she felt no effects whatever from
it.
The negro first injected has been heard
from, and still thinks he is twenty years
younger than he was. How much the
