AWFUL DOSE CURES SULTAN.


Directions of the American sur@eOA
Are Slightly Misunderstood.
This actually happened in Mindanas.
The story was told to me by the army
surgeon himself
He was seated in his tent one morn
ing when a number of the followers Of
the Sultan OF Pantar came hurrying
to him, saying the Sultan was dying
of cholera. Aided by the slight knowl-
edge he had then had of their lam
guage, the surgeon diagnosed the case
from their reports as well-nigh hope
less one. Still, anxious to show the
skill and friepdliness Of the Ameri-
can for the Moro brother, he hastily
made up six powders, each containing
one-sixth Of grain Of morphine and
thirty grains Of bismuth. These he
gave to the emissaries, telling them
to give the Sultan one Of them In q
glass Of boiled water every three hours
and to report TO him next morning
how the patient was getting along.
The next morning the surgeon was
more than surprised to see the Sultan
himself walk into the tent. Wan and
weak as he was, he had come some
eight miles to thank the surgeon per.
sonally for having saved his life, and
had brought with him one Of his sub.
jects who spoke Spanish well enough
to serve as an interpreter.
It was through this interpreter that
the surgeon learned how his directions
had been followed. First they had
given the entire six powders to the
Sultan at one dose-a full grain Of
morphine and $50 grains Of bismuth-
and then had poured a tumblerfal Of
boiling water into him every thres
hours afterward, scalding his mouth
and throat 80 that he could hardly
speak.
But It cured him, and the surgeon
says the same treatment cured many
another Moro who would probably
have died under lesser -Brooh
lyn Eagle.

"Arctic stomachs." replid the doctor,

will, and may add, contract at will;
80 that they can endure starvation
quite as well as abundance. When an
Eskimo sits down to dinner he is quite
thin. and by the time he has finished
he Is so fat you would hardly recog-
nize him. But then we must remem-
Der that one meal sometimes lasts a
whole day"
This voracity must be peculiar to
the inhabitants OF cold countries" said
Altamont
Il think It is" replied the doctor. Tn
the arctic regions people must eat
enormously; it is not only one Of the
conditions Of strength. but Of exist
ence. The Hudson Bay Co. always
reckoned on this account: Eight
pounds Of meat to each man a day, or
twelve pounds OF fish, or two pounds
OF pemmican."

mo doubt of 1t, and yet an Eskimo
meal may well astonish us. In Sir
John Ross narrative, he states his sur
prise at the appetites Of his guides.
He tells us that two of them-just two,

in one morning. They cut the meat in
long strips. and the mode OF eating was
either for the one to bite on az much
as his mouth could hold. and then pass
It on to the other, or to leave the long
ribbons Of meat dangling from the
mouth, and devour them gradually
like boa constructors. lying at full
length on the ground"

Il mean this-there are distinct

You're right" said Bell. after .

IF that's the case, them" said the
doctor, I'VE must be careful. for these
animals are starving after the severe
winter, and they might be extremely
dangerous to meet"
You think they have discovered our
