Tests in Cincinnati.

DR.. Longfellow administered the fluid
to five subjects. Four were paralytics,
ranging in years from thirty eight to
sixty, the latter a lady. One, a man
seventy years old, was injected for gem
eral debility.
In none of the cases were the effects
immediate. In fact, were not looked
for. They will be closely examined this
morning for favorable or unfavorable
results. All the injections were made
within twenty minutes after the elixir
had come from the laboratory
''Too much care cannot be taken in
these cases, - said DR.. Longfsllow last
evening. ''Animal juice decays very
quickly, and an injection might result
seriously. Another thing I would inform
the profession. I carefully disinfect my
syringe with solution of bi-chlOride of
mercury one part in 480, both before
and after using. My patients are all
doing well, and no unfavOrabIe results
have ensued. The colored man, Weir,
is as lively as ever. He complained
little of pain about the perforation, but
this readily yielded to a poultice My
success has probably exceeded that Of
DR.. Hammond, and aseribe the fact to
the use of the pure juice and the great
care and prOmptness IN It's preparation
and use. Four out of ten Of my patients
exhibited decidedly favorable results. -
The Englishman Auburn, the first sub
ject tried by Dr.. Longfellow, is in costa
cy over the change in his condition. He
is receiving calls from many curious per-
sons, and is turning a pretty penny by
detailing his experience, which he illus
tTates by practical demonstration of his
recovered agility and strength. The
prominent Vine ssreet merchant, who
declined to allow the use of his name, re-
ported yesterday that he felt slightly
better, but there was no very marked
change in his condition. He has been
for many years a sufferer from palsy.
DR.. Lonfellow yesterday received the
applications of fifty persons who wished
to test the elixir, and made appoint
ments with several for to-day. So won
derful has been his success that many
physicians have approached him for his
formula and are following his process in
their trials. DR.. Lougfellow is now
mostly combining his experiments to per
sons afflicted with paralysis, rheumatism
and any stiffness of the joints or mus
clues. He has far more volunteers for
treatment than he can attend to-
81 don t like to express myself upon
the subject said Dr.. Thornton, the
welI-known throat specialist, "but l
think there is undoubtedly some good in
the fluid. AS long as care is exercised
there is no danger in its use, and provid-
ed the fluid is fresh.

A practical test of the merits of the
elixir will be made to-day at the Medico-
Chirurgical hospital on Cherry street,
below Eighteenth, upon three patients
DR.. William F. Waugh, professor of
principles and practice of medicine and
OF clinic surgery, has induced one woman
and two men to allow themselves to be
treated by the new process.
The woman is approaching a change in
life, and her vitality is so low that she
may not have strength to survive the
period of change. The second patient Is
a man who is subject to fits Of deep mel
anchoIy bordering on to insanity, and
the third is q man who is very much de-
bilitated. Both men are under 90 years
of age.
The preparation of the elixir has been
left to Dr.. Henry G. Booming, who has
to obtain the necessary organs
of a lamb, which will be slaughtered this
DR.. Waugh, vino has carefully noted
the results of experiments made by
others, said he did not expect the elixir
would make the aged young.

1T IS SAFER THAN BLOOD TRANSMISSION. |
''How does the new process compare |
with the TRANSMISSION of blood?'' Dr.. !
Waugh was asked.
81 believe it is safer and more effec- |
tual. One danger of the old method of !
vitality Is that when blood is |
injected into a vein air may pass in with |
II, and when air gets TO the heart it |
causes instant death. Another difficulty |
IS than fbers in the injected blood will !
cause coagulation, which may result |
fatally. Before blood is transfused |
lowadavs it is whipped to remove the |
fiber, but the process of whipping may |
mix with the blood enough air to cause |
ieath. No such difficulties are attached |
