THE CRIPPEN SENSATION.

London, August 31. Crippen has been taken to the Brixton Prison Infirmary. He is suffering from nervous reaction, requiring special attention to his dietary.

Some documents that now possess a grim significance have been placed at our disposal (says the Dunedin Star), In the early part of this year the attention of a resident of Dunedin, who suffers from the infirmity of increasing deafness, read in the Loudon newspapers of an alleged cure of deafness, and placed himself in communication with the management of the Aural Remedies Company, the headquarters of which were at Craven House, Kingsway, London. Under date June 6, just before the Camden Town tragedy was enacted, he received an autograph letter from H. H, Crippen (whose signature is written in an easy, flowing style), covering a number of the “Otological Gazette” and a sheaf of testimonials giving “a taint idea of the remarkable success which has attended my new method of treatment, especially in severe chronic ycases of long standing that had previously been regarded as absolutely incurable.” The recipient was directed to fill up an analytical chart giving the history of his complaint and details of a domestic character, on the receipt ol which Crippen declared that he ‘‘would be most happy to make an exhaustive study of your symptous, and will send you, free of charge, my opinion of your condition, together with my advice as to the special treatment necessary. Kindly note (it was suggestively added) that this places you under no obligation whatever.” The demand for a fee would doubtless have come alter the chart was studied. Crippen styled himself a consulting specialist.
