A Cure For Consumption.
A French physician, Dr Briand, has invented a new cure for consumption which is remarkable in its way. Slowly accustoming the patient to the action of the air, Dr Briand first opens the window, then moves the bed on which the ‘subject’ is lying every day a little nearer to it. The last stage of the cure consists in sleeping in the open air regardless of wind, rain or snow. It is said that the four patients who submitted to the kill-or-cure treatment last winter have gone home to their families rejoicing, every consumptive symptom having disappeared.
l)r D. has a bright little girl about four years of age, who is very fond of dolls, and he buys a new one for her nearly every day. He bought her a new one the other evening, but it did nob appear to take her fancy at all. 4 What, don’t you like the nice new doll ?’ he asked, after watching her a few moments. 'N j ; I’s tired of stuff dolls. I want a real meat baby,’ she replied, earnestly.
