The blood may be in bad condition,
yet with no external signs, no skin

symptoms in such cases being a variable
appetite, poor digestion, an indescribable
weakness and nervousness, loss of flesh
and general rundown condition of the

lost its nutritive qualities, has become thin

at Norwich, VT He studied medicine with
Prof. Nathan Smith of New Haven, Conn,
ana graduated in medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence. First he was
elected TO the professorship of anatomy
and surgery in the Vermont University.
Next he was appointed lecturer onmateria
medica and medical botany in Dart

chosen professor of the chair then vacat-

chair the most important one in the
country, at the time when he first formu-

OF modern sword duels contribute to the
result. A large space of ground is granted
to the duelists in which to perform their
sneaking away eVolutions. The short
ness of the rounds-regularly only one
minute each-assures prudence and cool
ness. The Introduction of the corps-a-
corps is a great safeguard. Above all,
the stopping of the combat at the first
scratch clnches the safety Of the modern
sword duel. 1t is SO much the case that
the Academic d'Armes has thought OF
proposing a special dueling glove, pro-
tecting the hand and the forearm in the
interest Of little more frank bloodletting
from the body itself.
In more than half the duels fought in
Paris one or other of the combatants has
no fencing room practice at all and has

This prudent play at the extremities,

universal and so exaggerated in the fenc-

numbers Of amateurs Of no great reputa-

No sooner was IL announced that a posi-

by Prof Phelps, of Dartmouth, and ply
s:cians everywhere welcomed Paine's
celery compound as the most-to-be-de

ways of working and living had begun
to multiply diseases that arise from i'm

When a great public demand arose for
this remedy from one end of the country

1T has often been said of duels. as of
warfare, that the whole modern tendency
IS against too quickly coming into con-
tact-that the prudent aversary, who de-
sires not TO be worsted even before ne
desires to be victorious, ought always TO
be on guard against the impulse OF
too chivalrous courage whose results
might be fatal. To continue the COMPARE
