[From the Troy Timee] -
Laughter has often dissipated cHf
e*se and preserved life by a sudden
effort of pature. We are told that the
great Erasmus laughed so heartily at
* satirical remark that ho broke a
tumor and recovered his health.
Jouoert gives two similar iiwtauces.
A patieut being very low, the physi
cian, who had ordered a dose of rhu
barb, countermanded it, and the tutti
icing was left on the tabV. 4
key in the room, jumping up, disior
ered the goblet,'4nd » having tinted,
made a terrible grimace. * Again put
tfn&bis tongue to it peiwived *to»e
sweetness of the ..dissolved' manna
while the rhubarb had sank to thi
bottom. Thus emboldened, be swal
lowed the whole, but found it s6ch a
nauseous potion that, after many
strange and fantastic grimaces, he
grouud his teeth in agony and in a
violent fury threw the goblet on th«
floor. The whole affair was to
ludicrous thit the sick man burst
into re|«ated peals df laughter, and
the recovery of cheerfulness led to
health. ' 1 ' '
Another cas- recorded ii that two
individuals were lying in one rttn .
very sick, one with Vain lever and
the other with an aggravated case of
mumps. They were so lo» that the
watchers were needed every night,and
it was thought doubtful if the one
sick of fever would re. over. A per
ion was engaged to watch one night,
bis duty being to wake the nurse
•rhenever it became necessary to take
U» medicine. In tbe oourse of the
night both watcher and nurse feel
wteep. The man with the mumps
lay watching the clock and saw chftt
it was time to give tlitf fever patient
liis potion. He was unable to speak
