A young lawyer living in one Of the di.

politics for some years. AS often as a
campaign came in sight the young man
asked for something, putting in the claim
that he had brains, some patronage and
lots Of friends. He has been asked as often
as he put up his hand to take it down. A
few days ago he put it up again. 1t was in
a COMMITTEE meeting held to consult. One
of the old DIRECTORS in the meeting pala
yered MS he had formerly done about the
young man, but concluded by saying that
he hoped the young gentleman's ambition
would not stand in the way of the party's

the results Of the tests had been seized

some time been regularly practiced under
medical sanction. Edison, 1.-THE wizard, 4"
had noticed that equity concretions are
often treated with the aid Of lithium salts,
taken internally to facilitate the forma-
ton, dissolution and excretion from the
body of urate of lithium The difficulty
in this treatment has always been the un.
certainty Of the absorption of the salts into
the system, and il occurred to Edison that
more rapid success might be obtained by
external application and the employment
of electric endosmose to carry the lithium
into the tissues. For the purpose of test
ing this application he carried out series
of experiments, the results OF which were
placed before the international medical
congress held Mt Berlin.
The subject experimental upon was 70
years Of age, and had lived an active and
healthy life until ten years previously,
when he contracted the tendency to equity
concretions through sleeping in damp
sheets. All the joints except the knees
were very much enlarged, and the joints of
the little finger almost obliterated by con
erection. The patient experienced freedom
from pain, which up to that time had been
intense, after the first days treatment, and
in fourteen days reduction of nearly an
inch and a quarter Was effected in the cir
conference OF one Of the fingers, whose
form was favorable in accurate measure.
