Marat's Deadly Prescription.

Whether Marat of "the terror was a
veterinary surgeon or a fashionable
physician is a point which historians
have earnestly debated. Some light is
thrown upon it by the memoirs of the
papal envoy Of the period, who was
one of his patients, and reports as fol-
lows:
"He prescribed for me some medi-
cine which would have killed me If
the celebrated chemist of the Rue
Jacob had been willing to give it to
me. I see well enough he said, that
this is no medicine for you; it is medi-
cine for horse. I recognize the doc
tors signature; he is mad Apparently
Marat had mistaken me for one Of his

a physician"
