A New Anesthetic, The latest discovery in the medical world is that sulphate of magnesia, commontv known as Epsons Salts, is an anesthetic Of its ue, Dr. Metzler, the discoverer, Says: "The public should not miscon ceive the use ol sulphate of magnesias an anesthetic.

"Ether is likely in some cases to produce pneumonia-Chloroform sometimes produces fatty degeneration of the heart. Sulphate of magnesia does not affect the heart, but has been objected to because it restricted respiration.

kkThe dangers of heart ilare and shock are beyond control Not so much with respiration.

But quite ignoring all of them, except to bow and smile. When hailed by some one at 'the door or just across the aisle, He read with boyish while speeding o'er the street, The poorly printed pages of a little country sheet.

He read of Tom Jones1 enterprise in adding to his barn. And learned that ''Solon Hud'-; dleston-has gota brand, yarn," That Aunty Simpkins gave ra tea' that "crops are pretty good." And that Bailey came to town a ud brought a load of wood, es, these tilings are trifles perhaps, to you ami me; For him they are reminders of the things that used to be; And from his busy city life he glances back with joy Po see the town that bed his doings as a boy.
