NOT ALL DEAD YET. Patient No. 2 was 08 years old, and had some sort of heart trouble. His pulse used to skip every third beat. He has been taking the elixir about a week, and now his heart beats regularly. Case No. 8 had the elixir injected but once before. He said that he felt much better. His trouble is nervous prostration. Dr. Hammond says it is too soon to arrive at a conclusion yet, and he dislikes talking until liis experiments are completed. He will continue to use the elixir in cases where there is reason to believe it to be beneficial until he finds it to be of no real value. The doctor characterizes the Brown- Sequard discovery as a most valuable remedy for muscular rheumatism if nothing else. Other Games.

A Few Fools Yet Lingering On the Out- The judge went on to say that any fight, eveu without stake or prize, was a serious crime under the law. There need not be anger or ill will between the parties in order to make the fight a crime. Battery, by which injury is inflicted, whether by consent of the injured party or not, is equally a crime. The judge quoted numerous authorities to sustain his position. The charge occupied nbout eleven minutes. Counsel for the defeme pronounce it very fair and moderate. Outsiders think it will be impossible under the charge to find indictments against any one but Sullivan and Kilrain. The Judge'* Charge. "I have been maligned, persecuted and misjudged in evory way," he said. "It has broken up my business and will cause me to leave this city, but I am a man and I have made no complaint. I only desire that the terrible misfortunes of. the woman, whose treatment has been scarcely (air, may not be further increased through me. Before the proceeding* against Mrs. Maybrick wore initiated or talked of I had arranged for a vacation in tho shape of a tour about the Mediterranean. I made my preparations without thought that any trouble was coming to her. The last interview I had with Mrs. Maybrick was on April 0. I wish you would make note of that and let the public judge how fai those three meotiiigs, long previous to Mr. Maybrick's death, justify the assumption all through the trial, and particularly by the judge, that she and I were on the closest terms of intimacy, and hand in hand, so tc speak, in this whole matter." skirts of Civilisation.
