THE PRESCRIPTION.
Criminals will be cured by medicine.— News item. Robert Filch, who shot his wife and robbed his employer, was given two teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda and sent to bed with a hot-water bottle. He was resting quite easily this morning, and the doctors think that by to-morrow he will be well enough to commit another murder. The police had just apprehended the man who set fire to the Union station and dynamited the town hall. He was immediately given two aspirin tablets and a dash of castor oil. His temperature stays, about normal, and the Chief of Police insists that the patient be given calomel. The Jury's indictment specifies massage ind mustard foot baths for a week, and then a two-month rest in the country. It is hoped that by next month the patient will be up and about again.— Yale "Record."
