Anti-lyrine as q Poison.

The British Medical Journal does

the dangers which attend the admins
tration of anti-pyrine by amateurs.
1t describes q case in which dose o.
ten grains produced very alarming
effects. Anti-pyrine is undoubtedly Il
dangerous drug, which has a very
severe effect upon the hearts action.
and the careless way in which the or
dinary amateur prescribes it for him.

est compunctions, is an ever increasing
source OF danger. Anti-pyrine should.
in the light of recent discoveries, be-
scheduled as poison, for to some
people it is nothing short of q poison,
and We are inclined to think with the
writer of the article in question THAI
it should only be dispensed after the
order of duly qualified medical olii-
Ger has been obtained.

Should the revolution in the Philip

military experts, to make them excel

in the Tonquin war, when contingent
of Philippine troops rendered valuable

descent, with sprinkling of English

Manila has 200, 200 population. of

town on the Island of Luzon, inclosed
by line OF ramparts. and because of
its strategetical Importance was for

Spanish power in the Eastern seas.

ruler of the island. lives there, and
receives reports from the forty-three

by river into two parts, ON one side

other the merchants. between whom
