dyspepsia had played such havoc
with It's victim that the n edical ma.,
despaired of her reason. One DAY,
however. an unexpected development or

thus the patient was alternately
afflicted.
1t is confidently stated that when
cholera and dyspepsia play a see-saw
the latter gets tumbled on the plank,
SO to speak. A man in London was so
afflicted with dyspepsia that he had to
give up his business. When cholera
was prevalent at two or three contia-
entail ports, notably Hamburg, this
gentleman was returning from the con-
unent and he had the misfortune to be
seized with the disease. He was lucky
tack, and he has since found to his
great satisfaction that his dyspepsia
has fallen on the see-saw and troubles
him no more.
Quinsy Is a distressing and danger
GUS complaint and the patient feels
that he has endured quite enough with
out the addition of govt. In one case,
however, the govt proved blessing in
disguise. A gentleman in South Ken
SingtOn was down with Quinsy and
suffered severely. The development OF
govt in his toe, however, seemed TO ill
his cup to the brim. But the advent Ut
he govt meant the exit of Quinsy. The
gentieman's wife was down with QuiEsy
Al the same time. but the microbes did
not play see-saw in her case, and she
had to hight it out with Quinsy.
So acceptable has this theory be-
come that continental physicians have
added the pOisOns Of eryslpeias and
typhoid fever to their pnarMacOpoeia.

There is an eAhausting disease caus-

The typhoid germs may. indeed. be
considered a champion At his own

to develop an attack OF typhoid fever.
