A LYMPH PATIENT TELLS HOW IT FEELS.

(Philadelphia Record.) A patient who haa recoived threo injections of Koch's lymph related his sensations when under treatment to a representative of tho Record. The patient, a middle-aged man, came under the care of Dr. William M. Augney at tho Homo for Consumptives, Philadelphia. "Not the least interesting part of my experience," he said, "has beon tho taking of the injections. Apprehensions not unlike thoso of ono on tho way to the dentist's wero mingled with the hopes of recovery that I felt before receiving the first dose of lymph. Bufc Iliad no reason for fear; tho operation was nothing to speak of. A slight pricking sensation, a feeling of fullness beneath tho skin at the site of tho puncture and I was put to bed to await the action of the remedy. A drowsiness came over me, but I did not sleep, and a hot flush sproad over me. I seemed for tho time to bo removed from surrounding objects and to live apart from the peoplo about mo. Still I was conscious of my whereabouts. Tho feeling was similar to the delirium of fever, and the attendants said my tomptraturo was elevated. After thoso sensations had lasted for a time I became slightly chilly and fell asleep. When I awoko I was iv a natural frame of mind. " The same experienco followed the second injection, but after tho third doso of the roraody my temperature, to the sun-rise of Dr. Angney, fell from 9S*6dog. to JNMdeg. instead of rising, as is said to be usual."
