The Story of
 Purltana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. D., IL. D., who for thirty-two years was at the head of Dartmouth Medical College, belonged to the famous Crosby family of physicians, which for several genCr- ations has furnished more disti.}- tguished medical men than any other Dr. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, VI D procured the charter of the Sta Q medical society, of which he was fer thirty years conspicuous member; one brother, Dr. Josiah Crosby, in- vented the invalid bed and the method of making extensions of fractured limbs by adhesive strips; another brother, Dr. ThOs. R. Crosby, was chief surgeon in Columbian College Hospital during the war, and later professor of animal and vegetable. physiology at Dartmouth College; while Dr. Dixi Crosby himself was the inventor and discoverer of various important Improvements in medicine and surgery, including a new and unique mode of reducing metacarp0- 'h1l tngcll dislOcatiOn, opening of ab- cess at hip joint, etc., etc.
 -kt the early are of tWenty-fOur is extraordinary skill and success in over coming disease had already attracted the attention of medical men trough out the world, and won for him the highest hOnOrs. His greatest achieve ment was the discovery of an original method for perfecting and compound ing in permanent form what has be- come known as his "prize formula" and which, under the name of Puri- tana, is legally protected
 The foundation of tlis remarkable medical discovery consists of simple New England roots and herbs, and the original family recipe for it has de- scended to the long line of Crosby physicians from their Puritan anceS- tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost tion rendered it necessary to brew it whenever needed in the early days of it's history, and after the scattering, f the Puritan families to remote l0cali- ties, where the necessary ingredients $ were not to be found, many attempts were made to put it up in permanent form, all of which failed until pr. Dixi Crosby discovered means and methods, the result of which is: Nature's Cure compounded in the laboratory of Common Sense.

 At this juncture Kelley reappeared in our camps. The enlisted men greeted him with characteristic warmth au camaraderie, and the officers, who had seen him hack at the Landing, wondered where he had been and why he returned One evening while I was waiting to speak with General Sheridan, recently promoted from the post of captain and quartermaster to the command of the Second Michigan cavalry, was not a little surprised to find that it was Kelley who was mOnopolizing that officers time. The two stood under tree, and from the earnest, subdued tones of the old man, which were accompanied by the most violent gestures and many paintings in the direction of Corinth, l inferred that he had been since our last meeting inside the enemy's lines and was giving Colonel Sheridan, then pre- pairing for his first raid, much valuable information. This and other incidents that followed convinced me that Kelley

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion Of the ear There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constttu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an tn- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachtan Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by ca- tarrh, which is nothing but an fnflamed condi- t1on of the mucous surfaces.

A NarrOW ESCAne.

The death of Baron Larrey, the third Napoleon surgeon, recalls an adven- ture of his father, the first Napoleon $ medical adviser, at Watrrloo The elder Larrey bore so striking a resemblance both in physique and i'll dress to the Little Corporal that when he was taken prisoner by the PrussianS they thought they had captured the emperor, and or dered him to be shot. But the doctor who was ordered to bandage his eyes recognized him as his old instructor ill medicine, and at his request LalTey was sent to Butcher, who gave him some money and dismissed him.
