Strange Tb Burning of a Tonsil Cures i Case of Lethargic Sleep. A carious case of lethargic sleep which lasted for five months has just come to the attention of the Hypnotic and Psychological society in Paris, which both they and the doctors are unable to explain. A thirteen-year-old girl of an excellent provincial family is the subject of this curious experience. While at boarding school she was sud denly frightened and became ill. She was examined by the celebrated Prof. Charcot and admitted to the insane asylum of Dr. Raffegeau at Vesinet. At this time the girl uttered a series of hoarse barks, and her wide-open mouth disclosed a highly swollen right tonsil. Every hve minutes sue was seized with a spasm., during which she rubbed her left eyebrow so hard with her left hand that she nearly wore it away. She was completely unconscious, and had to be nourished artificially by means of a stomach tube. Three days after reach ing Vesinet she fell into syncope, which it was impossible to disturb by any physical pain. Massage and hydro pathic treatment produced a visible im provement, but it was not until a few days ago that the proper remedy was discovered. Dr. Raffegeau cauterized the swollen tonsil with a redhot iron and at the same time treated the mus cles under the jaw with massage. The girl gave a little scream when the iron was applied. Some hours later she was induced to repeat the vowels after the physician. Next morning she suddenly awoke, asking: "Where am I?" She had absolutely no recollection of what had occurred about her. she is now more lively than before her illness, talks in cessantlv and seems anxious to make up for the time she had lost by her amusing herself as much as possible.

Wilkins and Watkins were college chums and close friends. They had been hard students and bad taken little out-door exercise. When they shook hands and said good-bye, at the end of their college career, they were in im paired health. Both had dispepsia, liver troubles and troublesome coughs. Wilkins bad plenty of money, and de cided to teavel for his health. Watkins was poor. "I must go to work for my living," said he,"but I'll try the rem edy that Robinson talks so much about Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." In less than two years, Wilkins came home in his coffin. Watkins, now in the prime of life, is a bank president, rich and respected, and weighs 200 pounds. "The 'Golden Medical discovery' saved my life at a critical time," he often eays. "Oh, if poor Wilkins had only tried it!" For weak lungs, spitting of blood, all lingering coughs, and consumption in its early stages, it is an unequaled rem edy.
