strangest present I had ever received.
It was coffin Not only was it a
coffin. but it was secondhand coffin
one that had contained a corpse. It
happened in this way. A regular
customer. who lives in New York, had
the misfortune to lose his wife. She
had expressed a wish that her body be
cremated after death. Her husband,
wishing to carry out her wishes, had
brought the body in casket to this
city to have it cremated. Knowing of
his bereavement, felt quite sorry for
the mans loss, and tried to be as SYM
pathetic as l could. He appreciated
my kindness, for, as he was going nome

CHLoRoBRoM FOR sEAsIcKNEss.

In a recent issue of the London Lam
Get Professor Charters of Glasgow con-
tributes the following: 1T has been
impossible to obtain evidence from med
ical men as to the prophylactic action
of chlorobrom in short voyages. since
steamships making such voyages are
not provided with ship surgeons. From
numerous letters and from personal
statements made to me, 1 have no hest
tation in saying that complete inmun-
ity is derived from its use in the voy-
age from Harwich TO Rotterdam, or
from Queensborough to Flushing. or
from Holyhead TO Dublin. Sleep is al
ways secured and the passenger
awakes when the steamer is nearing
the harbor. Even in the short passa ge
from Dover to Calais chlorobrom taken
as a gastric sedative in a teaspoonful
dose, was sufficient in the case of a
gentleman and his wife, who were very
bad sailors, tc avert any squeamish
feeling"
