A New Cure for Consumption.
A prominent citizen of Geneseo, N.Y., has been prolonging his own life at the expense ot the canine creation. Some two or three years ago the gentleman in question, who was pronounced by physicians to be in quite an advanced stage of consumption, began the habit of taking his pet dog to bed with him. The dog soon exhibited unmistakable signs of lung difficulty; coughed a'most constantly, and finally died. The ppntlcman procured another dog, and slept with, him for a time, when the animal also fella victim to the disease. Another dog was proeut ed, with which the man now sleeps, and though the third animal will probably die the Bame way the others did, the man 's constantly improving and is better than before in health. He is a well-known business man of Geneseo, and we would give his name if necessary. ■
