Medicine Has Turned the Cold Shoulder on
an Old Friend That Ia stin Effective.
young man with a black eye was led
Into a Brooklyn drug store in Fulton street
the other night by some friends to see
what could be done to make the eye pre-
sentable The druggist said that he could
not paint the eye, which the young man
insisted was the only proper course, but
leech could be applied. There was some
argument to the effect that lceches were
old fashioned, but the young man consent
cd to an operation. The druggist brought
out a jar six inches in height and fshed
around inside with one hand. He brought
out a crawling, black object that he i'm
modiately transferred TO a little pasteboard
box, in one side of which he had cut a
small hole, near the edge in the cover.
Holding the hole up to the young mans
eye the druggist shook the box a little and
the leech's head was soon, t work reducing
the size of the dark patch under the eye.
Meanwhile the company got some instruC-
tion about leeches.
''Ihe mediCative leech is not so much in
demand as it ought to be- said the drug
gist, land the main difficulty in this
country is to get leeches that will not cause
of leeches by the medical profession is re-
markable In England the largest two
hospitals formerly called for about 80 600
of them; now they call for 80 or 100
leeches at irregular intervals Owing to
a lack of demand and OyerprOduCtiOn in
the old country, the price has fallen there
TO about one-haf of that easily obtained 80
years ago. In this country a few places
produce leeches, but they are not so good
as these that are imported. The best are
brought from Norway in tubs of rich loan.
In England the speckled leech, which is
raised in Hungary for the English trade
is the most popular. The lGech is useC
almost exclusively for removing blooC
from the eye after the bruise is a day old
When the eye is first bruised, the bes
thing to use is raw meat The best leecbe
are those that hang on the longest. Thest
are from Norway, and they are long ant
slender. -
II guess this came from Norway" " said
the sufferer, wincing. "It pulls hard
enough. "
"Ob, you will feel rs lively as a cricket
after this is over" said the, druggist
"You needn't be afraid of auIg Impurities
such as some have complained of wheI
using American leeches. q Some are RAISED
in Florida, but they gfe not held to b.
very good. The danger of having leeche
raised in warm couDtries is that the bit
is dangerous, giving rise to blood poison
ing. That's what is said Of American
leeches, but never had any experience
with them9'
"How muchP" said the man after tn,
leeoh had let go.

killed frequently, as we'll as many other

England foxes, closely followed by a

Jules had stood gazing blankly, from
one to another.

ly, as a momentary silence ensued; i

Emile smiled proudly.
II adopted her for my niece when |

he touched the hand of Lady Felicie

her eyes, she answered:
Il say would rather remain Chic

Emile opened his lips eagerly, and then
closed them again, murmuring. as he
turned away:
