The with hi amined What is it? - Rose Terry Cooke *rites :-There are temporary idiosyncratic desires for food, particularly in sickness, that are very aptto be instinctive indidations of use- fulness or need. A physician I once knew, whose early death was a real loss to the profession, So wonderful was his skill in diagnosis, and in the Use of re - medical agents -said to me once that if a patient strongly craved anything to eat or drink, however odd or unwhole- some the thing desired seemed to be, he always allowed them to try it, for he variably found that the article in ques- tion either became useful to the patient or just a mouthful or a sip would at once satisfy the desire. He told of ;several instances inhis own practice thatjUstified his theory. While he was in )1 Hospital, after • completing his course of study at a medical college, a severe epidemic of summer diarrhoea . set in and the children's ward was crowd-; ed with patients. :The disease was un- usnally obstinate and malignant, and at last attacked an infaut of the matron's. The child was very ill, and the mother was obliged to take it with her in her arms when she went about her duties, as those could not be neglected, and there was not a nurse -that- could be spared. One day •selien she sat down to dinner with hen child in her lap, there Was a slice of boiled ham put on her plate. The ham had not been skinned after boiling, and the ha -by reached out and grasped a piece of the rind that was near her and began to suck , with great eagerness; the mother was alarmed and tried to take it away, sure that it 'would be injurious under the ciicumstances, but the child cried -so hard and grasped the - rind so tightly that at last she gave up the contest. Next morning the , doctor said "Mrs. —, how is your baby to -day ?" fully expecting.' to hear an unfavorable report, as several infants had died dur- ing the night: ' " She's a _great deal better," said the mother cheerfully. " 13ut I surely thought I'd -killed her yesterday, doctor. • I let her get hold of a bit of ham rind when I wasn't looking at her and she got it in her Mouth, and cried so hard when I wentste take it away I thought she'd have n spasm, so I let her su k it; but to -day' she's over so much b tter ; her (beadles% stopped last night and she Lllept a ell and ate well this norn- ine." T 10 •prompt la.nd perceptive , octor went directly to the kitchen, disco ered the remaina of the ham, cut slips f the riiicl off, carried them up to the itifant ward, and distributed them atnong the babe, who without exception grasped them with avidity : and every one on whclm this experhnent was tried rapidly recovered: - Another patifrit was an Irishman appkrently. at the point ef death with ulceration of the bowels ; doctors and 'nudes- had all given him up, he was unable to speak above a whisper, and my kind-hearted friend, pitiful of his Ifelfiless condition, stooped over him and Said :- "Patrick, is there anything you want that I can get you ?" Ir a whisper so weak and hoarse as to be i iaudible unless the doctor put his ear lovvn close to the trembling lips, the dyit g man answered :- "'Cabbage." T it doctor could not believe his ears. Did you nay cabbage?" he asked in- ulously. Oi did," was the faint whisper. ft oree "Cooked or raw ?" asked the astound- ed doctor. " Raw," murmured Patrick. The doctor stood aghast; however, he reflected that Pat was dying, and that nothing Could kill or cure him now: it seethed a -tindly thing to fulfil his last wishes, so he went out into the garden and cutting a large fresh cabbage divid- ed it into quarters and laid one of the sections close to Patrick's lips, guiding his helplessfnand into a place that prop- ped the cabbage up anainst his mouth, and then Dr.: C. sat ' down to watch this ex- traOrdinary patient: Slowly the cabbage disappeared, the Irishman's, eyes brightened during the prooess, and a shade more of life pervad- ed his, countenance: as the last fragment waS swallowed he said :-" fore !" in quite an audible tone, but the doctor made him wait a few moments before the second quarter was laid in position and eagerly received. To curtail my story, in the course of the day. Patrick ate all the good part of a large cabbage, began to get *ell from that time, and in a week or two left the hospital and went to work. I had this story from Dr. C. himself,- or I dare not record it.. In another instance the same physician was attending a case of severe kidney disease; the patient had a great eraVing for cider, andremembering his experience • in the hospital, the doctor sent for a pitcherful and ordered the nurse to give it to the sick :man in small -quantities, and observe carefully how it acted on him, and to refuse it to him if it seemed injurious ; the nurse followed directions, but the patient, like Oliver Twist, kept asking for more ; the nurse dared not indulge him beyond the doc- tor's direction, but being overcoine with sleep during the night omitted one dose, and the patient, creeping out - of bed very quietly, reached the pitcher and emptied it at one draught. The poor nurse reproached herself bitterly for this la* of wateh, but the cider cured the patient, and both doctor and nurse were shortly dispensed with. 4 Bret Harte's New Poem.
