The Very He'll OF Science.

"Vivisection is the inquisition, the
hell of science. All the cruelty which
the human, or rather the inhuman,
heart is capable Of inficting is in this
one word. Below this there is no
depth. This word lies like q coiled ser.
pent at the bottom Of the abyss
This is the powerful way in which
Colonel Bob InRersoll begins a long let
ter to Phillip q. Peabody, OF Boston.
The colonel further remarks: 1--WE
can excuse, In part, the crimes of pas
sion. We take into consideration the
fact that man is fnble to be caught by
the whirlwind, a that from q brain on
fire the soul rushes to crime; but what
excuse can ingenuity form for a man
who deliberately, with the calmness OF
John Calvin at the murder of Servetus,
seeks, with curious and cunning knives,
in the living, quivering flesh OF a dog
ior all the throbbing nerves of pain?''
Il the remainder Of the letter Colonel
Ingersoll alluded to physicians who prac-
tice vivisection as scientific assassins,
and he says he does wish to touch the
hand of a man who would do such a
thing.

A DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION.
How It Is Formed and It's Mysteries
Solved.

Probably two or possibly three per-
sons In every thousand who get pre-
scriptions from physicians understand
the significance OF the cabalistic char
aclsrs there inscribed by the medicine
names and some things hat looks like
the letter Y and his brothers, hunch-
backed and playing leap-frog.
Every prescription consists of four
parts-the superscription, tho inscrip-
ton. the subscription and the signature.
In the upper left-hand corner is the
symbol X. 1t is a combination of an
old NEUROLOGICAL sign intended rs an
invocation to the Deity and the initial
of the Latin verb recipe" whic b
means take thou" 1t is intended as
a direction to the compounder. Then
comes the inscription, which tells
Of the ingredients and their quanti-
ties. The subscription contains direc-
tons as to the form the compound
shall assume
To insure good effect, however,
medical men say that the doctor and
the druggist should be paid. They
say that it is a coincidence that peo-
pie who are slow at settling their doc
tor bills always seems TO have some
thing the matter with them, while
prompt payers are equally prompt at
recovery.
Another noticeable thing is that poor
pay people are the ones who have
cranky" ailments-diseases difficult
to diagnose, more difficult to cure,
while the collection of the bill is tho
most difficult matter of all.
In the matter of ingredients n pro-
scription may contain the base which
Is the principal active agent, the aux;
iliary, an adjuvant to assist the bases

unpleasant effect Of the base and ad.

taking, inactive substance either to
hold the foregoing in solution or Il
give a consistent form to the prepa-
ration. Water is a vehicle largely
used.
In the country, where il is taken out
of typhoid-fever wells and out of els
terms with ''wiggle-tailsn in them, It
costs nothing. In the city, where
hydrants are used, it costs more, but
Is purer. The medicine designed for
the relief Of the patient, however,
generally kills any "wiggle-tails" that
are corked up in the solution.
Every physician should be a phe-
nomenal mathematician. He has to
solve hard sums in what Is called in
arithmetic compound numbers. ut all
hours of day and night and with tho
anxious friends and female relatives
ringing IN his ears such questions:
'Oh, doctor, how long will he live

scribing strong remedies a mistake in
