1t was seven a. m. that teventful Thurs
day morning. The job-type pain con-
tinued to swell, to tear, to pinch and to
awaken something in the nature of pro-
family.
The fact that the pain was in exist
ence and in action spread through the
vicinity as might q rumor of suicide.
Mr.. Bangs was a popular citizen, and the
report awakened much sympathy for
him, especially among the women. One

To the unmilitary reader IL may be
said that sulph. hydrag. is another
name for calomel. 1t is as effective and
deadly as Greek fire. Two bombs COM
posed of these materials and about the
size of large marbles were fred into the
enemy's entrenchments every four
hours. At daylight Friday morning the
foe was found to have evacuated his
works, having sneaked off in the dark
ness. The bombardment was too heavy
for it.

In Stockbridge township, Mich, a
hungry hawk swooped down ON some
young turkeys. The mother turkey
tried to drive him away, but. failing to
do so, sped away, and in few moments
returned with whole flock of able
bodied adult turkeys and made a COM
bined attack on the barn-yard pirate
and haat him of.

On Wednesday night, some three
months ago, Mr.. Bangs retired to rest in
good order and in perfect health. lie
slept the sleep of the good and dreamed
the dreams of the virtuous until gray
dawn peercd over the eastern sky.
Mr.. Bangs awolle that morning with a
pain.
This word pain should be printed in
large job type such as is used on a
theater poster" for the name of the
p7eu.4sr danseuse. No smaller-sized
lettor will adequately express the size
of the pain or it's intensity. just where
it was located does not so much matter;
suffice it that it was somewhere about
midway between the epigastric and the
hypogastric regions.
The pain, expressed in type of large
dime nsions, gradually spread over a
good deal of space in its immediate
vicinity. AS may be seen, the getting
of it involved no trouble, calculation or
genius. Anybody, however feeble in
intellect, could have acquired the same
lesson as easily as did Mr.. Bangs.

and elan, charged BANGS HAS y Cliil-i''
on double-quicle the main body. Tho
details of tho attack are interesting.
At first goblet half full of paregoric
was fired into tho facial embrasure of
Mr.. Bangs, and the shot was almost in-
stantly repeated. Then a jug of white
hot water was placed at his feet, and
his entire vetebral region was lami-
mated with all the hot covers from the
cooking range. Being hot enough TO
toast bread, they made themselves felt.
And then all the bottles of the neigh
borhood were filled with boiling water
and laid on him wherever there was
room. Where there were spaces too
small for bottle they used walls.
After this there was some more laud-
anum. Soused with laudanum, envel-
oped with sizzling griddles, hot water
bottles, jugs and walls without number,
the Chill retreated in disorder and in
great disgust. Almost any thing else
would have done the same under the
same circumstances.

V i.


Now, for the benefit of those who may
be sick, let me summarize what must be
taken to get rid of pain:
Dose pain-killer.
Pint red pepper decoction.
Repeat ditto.
Pint hot ginger tea.
Three tablespoonsful castor oil with
twenty drops spirits turpentine.
Large seidlitz powder.
Two enormous pills every two hours
composed of calomel, leptandrin and
podophylline.
Three tablespoonsful paregoric.
Repeat ditto.
A large dose of ipecac.
Repeat the same with plenty of warm
water.
Five grains every two hours of calo-
mel, quinine and morphine.
Four grains quinine every four hours.
Aromatic sulphuric acid fifteen grains
three times day.
Powders containing two grains of lep-
tandrin, one grain of quiniRe, three
times per diem.
Mustard drafts
Peruvian bark.
Plasters of horse-radish leaves.
Hop-bags wrung out in vinegar, hot
to space.
The man with the pain or any other
malady who does become cured by tax,
ing all these prescriptions must have a
magnificent constitution.

1t was about noon Friday when the
Chill took itself off. To continue in mil
itary language, was determined to fol-
low up the retreating foe and utterly
destroy him.
To accomplish this Commander M. d.
sent out squadron of cavalry in the
shape of heavy column of ipecac. In
some ten minutes the advance was fol-
lowed by another ipecac detachment.
The effect of the cavalry movement was
efficient.
A little after dark on Friday the main
body was ordered to engage in the pur-
suit. The main body consisted OF the
following regiments:
Quinine.
Calomel.
All of Friday night, every two hours,
body consisting of the same regiments
of regulars" was sent on to aid in the
pursuit. BY daylight all were on their
way, and formidable host they were,
too. Saturday the thermometer stood at
81. 1t was hot day for the pursuit, but
the chase was kept up with vigor. The
main body was halted after a march of
twelve hours, and then four-grain bat
talions of quinine were sent on every
two hours after the flying Chill.
Thus passed Saturday. To drop mill
tary metaphor, Bangs began to get we'll
rapidly. Sunday morning he could not
have brushed an infant mosquito from
his nose. He had eaten nothing from
Wednesday night, and teaspoonful of
beef tea was hearty breakfast for him.
Anybody will see that getting we'll is
difficult unless one knows how. After
reading this article any one can see how
it is done.
To complete Bangs cure on Sunday he
was given aromatic sulphuric acid. On
Monday there was added to his acid pow
ders of leptandrin and quinine measuring
a teaspoonful each. Then he was given
some slippery elm bark tea and decoc-
ton of Peruvian bark. Besides these
he was blistered with mustard drafts,
plastered all over with horse-radish
leaves and buried under hops soaked in
hot vinegar. And so on. On Monday
Bangs was we'll. He looked in the mir
ror and saw pale skeleton with blood
shot eyes. Says Bangs: SIT is we'll to
be we'll. am so hearty that can dis
pose of q whole teaspoonful of beef tea
at single meal. l am so strong that
with only the assistance of couple Of
men can go anywhere in the room. I
am gaining so rapidly that in week or
two / will be willing to match myself
with any yearling babe in the CITY,"

and Maine State once IN the same period
Thus il will be seen that the three other
