The south sea bubble, like many another Uuuucial catastrophe, ruined thousand* of citizens, but it enabled Thomas Uuy. who sold his Investments ft] the stock to the g.eat advantage of ether people ns well as himself to found the institution which Itearx his tame and to restore to health (down to tiie present time) over ti,O(A>,0U0 limnau he.ugs. Among the many curiosities exhibit ed in the famous museum at Guy's is a large piece of cardboard bearing the fteuinauts of thirty-five pockotkulves, which were swallowed by an American sailor. His name was John Cummings, and he was admitted to the hospital lu A small book, containing also flu* manuscript of the printed copy, Barrates the particulars of this remark able case, and it may be perused by Ifce privileged visitor to Guy’s. It appear* that Cummings during a •prec ashore challenged fie feats of a voujaror who had made a pretense of swallowing knives. #Ehcouragt*l by his dnmkcu comrades, the sailor actually swallowed an opened pocketknife, to the aniazenumt of the conjuror. Feel- ftnr no imtue hate pain, he put five other tulw-i out of sigiit in the same way. In two years’ time he had, in the course bis drunken bouts, shown sufficient hr avado to enlarge his Internal ar mory by twenty-nine ad ditional knives. T\T* rt u. after his foolishness had brought him to the hospital and subsequently to his grave, a postmortem examination was made the thirty-five knives were removed from his stomach by the amaz- ted surgeons. These interesting relies are exhibited among others in the surgieal classroom, whither the students return from the .dissecting room to correct their impres sions. I'losc by U another interesting object, k glass case containing a num ber of what appear to be Illuminated parchments. The grewsome nature of these exhibits grows upon the visitor when he learns that they are simply patches of tattooed human skin pre- aarved In spirits. The inscription upon ♦ach enables one to trace the occupa tion and character of the unfortunate patient from whom it was taken. One was a colored sailor, a native of Afri ca. On some twelve square Inches of his akin Is worked an artistic representa tion of the most brilliant plumaged birds known in the tropics. Gay’s anatomical wax models are •aid to be the finest In the world. One ef these Is extremely valuable, the hos pital authorities having refused the sum of £5,000 offered for it by a for eign medical celebrity. It is an ab solutely perfect model of the upper ex tremity of the body, showing every muscle, gland, vein, nerve and artery. It took Joseph Towne. a clever dezu- eostrator at Guy's, fully two years to make It, but with him In 1879 also died the secret of the. process by which the wonderful construction of the human fodf waa reproduced In wax with such marvelous fidelity.—London Standard.

The plant from which the well known perfume patchouli it obtained it a na tive of India and of China. It it alto grown in Ceylon, Paraguay and the French Island of Reunion. ~ It first be came generally known in Europe about 1850. At that time India shawls com manded immense prices, and dealers were accustomed to Identify the gen uine articles by their odor, as they were perfumed with patchouli. French manufacturers, acting upon this hint, imported the patchouli plant for the purpose of perfuming their imitation India shawls. Afterward perfumers took up the cultivation of the plant on their own account Don't frown—look pleasant If you are suffering ftom indigestion or tour stom ach, take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
