Queer Treatment for Epi,epsv.

Diseases have been treated in many
odd ways in the hope Of cure. One OF
the oldest and most grewsome is al
luded to by an Ell glish vicar in his ac-
count OF his walk TO Rome. On the
way he came across a German who
mentioned, rather mysteriousiy, the
Hanoverian method of execution by
decapitation. Being further question
ed he said that at one OF these eXecu-
tions he was in charge OF an epileptic
who was brought to drink the warm
blood of the executed criminal, as it
was considered an infallible cure for
fits. This took place in 1857. and the
man had in his possession an Illus
trated paper of that date which pic
