Two amusing patients were women;
the one a very comedy young miss.
| painfully smitten with a sort OF st.
Vitas' dance in her feet. whenever she
heard a lively tune, at which time also
she was possessed of an amazing desire
to have her waist tightly encircled by
some person of the opposite sex; the
other an elderly female, who entered
the room holding her hands over her
face, as IL sore ashamed. When her
hands were removed / saw that her
nose extended to an absurd length
some three or four inches-which was
caused, as my monitor informed me,
by sticking il into other peoples busi-
ness.
Neither must omit to mention a cler-
ioal-looking gentlemen with long
tailed coat, who, as he came in, indus
triously shook hands with all the at
tendants, the director of the expert
ments and myself all the while wearing
a forced and sicky smile which he evil
IDENTIFY intended TO be very winning. He
was troubled with itching ears, and
spent his days and night seeking for
certain noXious herb called popularity
to catch them withal. But the more he
scratched the more he itched.
All these, and many other unusual
diseases that space forbids my relating,
yielded easily To the healing power or
the injected remedy. He of the stiff
knees bowed in a short prayer of graf
itude as he left the place, the man with
throat trouble went away shouting
praises to God, the hemiphlegiac smiled
upon US with a full-favored counte-
nance, straight as a rule walked the pa
tient with the bizarre gait, he whose
taste had been so perverted greedily de-
voured morsel Of the true mamma as
he Departed the two women, made ev-
cry whit whole, retreated hand in hand,
and the clergyman was so completely

larity sent him by the ladies of his
congregation.
"You may think all of this very
strange" said he who had led me hith-
er, but l have something yet stranger
to show YOU" He pointed to a door
through which was borne the form Of
man on a litter supported by four
servants. They laid him on a long wide
table Being directed by my compan-
ion, / put my hand to the mans face
and found it cold as death. l pricked
his flesh and no blood flowed. 1t was
corpse. The physician then APP
preached and, as in the other instances,
injected the fluid into this arm.
What is this you do?' cried. See
you not the man is dead?'
He made no answer, but directed my
attention TO the table. l could not re-
sist the weirdness of the scene. My
bones melted within me as l beheld the
cadaVer slowly open his eyes, move his
hands, lose the mortal pallor from his
cheek and actually sit up and look
about him!
What is this?" ! exclaimed, as soon
as / could move my thickened tongue.
Tell me, what is this awful remedy,
and who are your"
This elixir of life" he replied with
sad smile, lis the blood Of the lamb.

And here my dream served me the old
turn of which dreams are so often
guilty just at the wrong time. i awoke.
