predicted in a degree, has been more

A Market for Disease.

The great surgeons and physicians have
become so eager to invent some new proc
ess of treatment to alleviate or cure NOR
bid phenomena that the poor wretch who
develops in his system novelties Of suffer
ing liable to occur to the wealthy may,
from a worldly point of view, consider him
self in high clover. He has only to let the
specialists know of it and he finds himself
the central attraction whenever he appears
among them.
Most of these subjects are members of
that class of individuals commonly known
as ''bums," some having become such from
their actual inability to earn respeC table
livelihood, and others never were anyLhing
else. Specialists have a strange but 1ubt-
less correct opinion that the tramp" who
wears himself out in low life is apt t. con-
tract the same disease as the heavy swells
in high life. Thus, the poor victims who
would die without treatment become sub
Jects of great respect, and sometimes affec-
tionate attention.
In this city, as well as in London, Paris.
Berlin and Vienna, there is thriving mar
ket for the possessors of curious maladies,
and in this city is place known to I'll e in
itiated few where those willing to give
themselves up to the surgeons scalpel can
find purchasers. Once within the portals
of this secret exchange the dying subjects
