ish physician was called to. visit man
who was very i'll Of typhus fever. The

his leave. The next day IN passing by,
he inquired OF servant at the door II
his master was dead.
"Deadw was the reply. mo, he is
much better"
The doctor FASTENED upstairs to OBJ
tain the solution Of the miracle.
"Why," said the cOnvalescent, Il was
consumed with thirst, and drank a
pailful OF the juice of picked cab

"Wonderfulr' quoth the doctor. and
out came the tablets, on which he
made this inscriptions: Cured of ty-

Soon after the doctor was called to
another patient, a yaghlikgee, or dealer
IN embroidered handkerchiefs, who was
suffering from the same malady. He
forthwith prescribed "a pailful Of pic
kled cabbage juice.'
On calling the next day to congratu-
late his patient on his recovery he was
