In many cases lunatics are exceedingly cun- | ning, and display a remarkable readmes- of re- I sources in unexpected emergencies. I could I mention many instances, but will content myseit j with one. There was lately, and lam not sui: , whether there be not now, in one of our asylum*, a lunatic, who, on the first loss of Ins reason—for | he was repeatedly cured, though he always relap - cd again—liv ng in a neighboring county hr- ! longing as he did to a lamtly of wealth and res- 1 necLibility, he was provided with a keeper as soon | as the hist symptoms ot the disease appeared.— '■ h was hoped that the unfortunate man’s lunacy j would tie but of temporary duration; and that by com Hitting him to Lie care of a Keeper, his friends would he spared the pains ol sending him to an asylum. His insanity, however, lasted much longer than his trh nds had fondly hoped t would; and it was the re lore eventually deter- ] mined io send him to an institution lor Hie rccep. ! lion of persons laboring under mental aherr tior, in the hope thai through lire superior LeaUner-t he jwould there receive, an additional chance ts recovery might lie afforded him. On the day pre vious to that appointed fur Ins being sent to the asymm. fie overheard Ins hrottier gi mg instruc tions to his keeper on the subject. He took no notice of the circumstance that night, nor next mo mug ; hut w a n told Dial he accompanied by his comp a moil —the it-ime by which Ins keeper was always ealhd—was to have a long drive that* day, he expr. ssed hiniselt dehgoted with Hie idea,’ am displayed a wil.bigness to take an airing, winch strong!v contrast* dw in the reluctance In* had before s.iovvn I* leave the iioUsc. After hreak'ast the g gwas ready, and both started for the town—ai>uUi twelve miles distant—m the suburbs of which the asylum was situated. The h.inlic w;i- unusually che rlul and docile all tin ; way. And here I should remark that his manner was sometimes soc .Levied and utintial, Ilia, i. would ir ive been difficult to con ince a stranger, that iris intellects were m tae slightest degree af fected. On reaching the principal hotel, both parties ; ca ne out of the gig with a view to get some re. froshuient, and to enable the keeper to make some necessary preliminary arrangements for tire recep lion of ids c.large into me a-ylum. The former, after being some .into in the house, quitted the apartment into which they were shown, fora few seconds, n l deeming it nece-sary either to take the lunatic with him, or to turn the key of the door. The litter, watching the opportunity, agreeably to a p.evi u» determination m that of fe, t. -tole out of the house the moment the other had quilled the apartment. The keeper missing! the lunatic on his return, an alarm was givenj and in less than five minutes, at least a dozen per son- were engaged in active search for the unfor tunate man, the suddenness of whose di.- ippe.n anc i was quite unaccountable to his keeper. No trace of him was to be found for two hours, and tii . impression began io become gnieral among! all acquainted with tin* circumstance, that be had by s me mean- or other de> toyed himself. Just ai all hopes of ever seeing him alive again were on (he eve of expiration, the lunatic appeared to die infinite asionishment and joy of the person entrusted with ids safe keeping. But where he had l» *en during Ins absence was a point which, notwithstanding all the efforts «hot were made with that view, con'd not he elicited from him.— Where does the reader suppose lie was, or in what way employed 1 That was a piece of informa 4>o<i which Ins keeper learned to his cost a lew hours after the lunatic’s return The latter had been to the a-ylum for which his friends had des tined himself, and having procured access to the proper party, gave It s keeper's name a? his own, and represented him as being Mr. So-and-so, the brother of Mr. As it was not only well known at the asylum that the latter gentleman hid a brother, who was at th it time laboring un der insanity, hut as. on the previous day, notice Ivul been sent to the asylum, the remainder of his story wes more readily believed. “Now,” says he, addressing himself to the manager of the in stitution, “the lunatic is remarkably clever, sin gularly cunning; and ” •Oh, a great many of our patients are so” in terrupted the superintendent of the institution. ‘•We sc. 'it tames ot cunning and shrewdness every day. which the wisest of us could not ex ceed.” “I have no doubt of it ” observed the lunatic with the greatest self-possession, and seemingly in t..e most rational manner possible. • ! have no doubt ot it; none whatever. I have seen ma ny eases of it myself; but this unhappy man ex ceeds, in cunning and shrewdness, any one I ever vi. »v ny, lie would almost deceive me. ‘Ob. he will not deceive us.” interrupted the other, hastily ; “we arc to well accustomed to such things.” “I am h ppy tv hear it,” continued the l-ma tic. “.Vfy only reason for coming out liere, !»e. lore taking him with me, was, that I might av quannt you witli the circumstances hefore hand.” “That was unnecessary ; let him try all the tricks he choses, they will he lost here,” rein n ked the other, with a consequential a ; r. as if he were beyond the power of ingenuity to deceive. “Ve y go al ” observed the lunatic, in a satisfi ed tone. •! -hall hr ng him here in an hour or so ; I have !e!t him at the Fountain hotel, in care of a fi ierid.” **A\e s.iall be ready lor him,” said the super intendent of tiis asylum, in that careless sort of tone which is so characteristic ofmen in author ity. “Good morning. Sir,” said the lunatic, turning on his heel as he was about to quit the apart ment. iood m ruing.” echoed the other, in the same j half civil, half reserved tone as bes -re. “Oh, I beg your pardon!” said the lunatic, j hastily turning around, and advancing a few steps towards the manager of the institution ; -I beg y our pardon, Sir. but I entirely forgot to men t on the way in which Ins madness manifests it j self.” ‘•Ay true; that is of some importance to us,” observed the other. “In what way is it 1 ’ • W ay he has the notion that every one else is mad hut himself.” “On! that is quite a common impression among persons in tins state.” “Ves; but singularly enough, his notion is. j that I am the insane party, and he is my keeper. You may rely upon it, that the very m mient we arrive, he will affirm in the most positive terms and with the utmost earnestness of manner, that i such is the fact; and then he will desire you to ! take me into the asylum.” “Poor fellow!” said the other, with some slight ind cations of feeling. “Poor fellow !—but there is nothing too extraordinary for those un | happy beings to fancy.” “ I thought it right to inform you of the fact,” said the lunatic, “ In order that you might not he ! taken by surprise,” “Oh ! there was not the slightest danger of that. We are too well accustomed to such things to la; deceived either by their affirmations or re- j presentations.” “ Good morning, then for the present,” said the lunatic, a- he quitted the superintendent’s a partments.” “Good morning.” mumbled the latter. In about t vo hours afterwards, a gig with two persons in it. was seen to drive up to the gate of the institution: it wisopened and both orocecded towards the do >r. As they entered the palace— ; “Here is an unfortumte individual,” said the lunatic, address ng himself to the superintendent, whom you will be Kind enough to take every care of.” The other was so confounded by the unexpec ted observation that he was unable, for some se conds to utter a word. “ Very good,” said the superintendmt of the 1 institution; “ we’d lake care of him,” at the same time laying hold of the astonished keeper of the lunatic, by the breast of the coat, “ Sir—Sir—Sir! ” stammered the confounded man; “you lab t under a mistake; that,” point ing to the lunatic, “ is the person, to he commu ted to your care. I—l—l brought him here.” “ No doubt of it,” said the overseer, still drag ging the hapless wight forward, assisted by an oth r servant of the establishment, in the put of the asylum for which he was intended. “Gracious Heavens, Bir ! what is toe meaning of this 1” uxc aimed the luckless pirty. half suf < to mted with astonishm’ii*. an I indi/nation. and siruggl ng It ml to disengage himself from the | gr i-p of the parties. •* Com? aw .y, my good man. quietly with us,” said the superinlendaiit smoothly. “ By all that’s sacred. Sir, shouted the other, with tae utmost vehemence, •• I'm not the luna tic ; that is tie,” again pointing to the actual party. •• I knew it all; I tol 1 you how it would lu.” said the bill o, in a steady voice, and w,lh the greitest selt-possessioii. •• Tiiis way ’ saul the superb ten lent careless ly still drag /i -g the unfortunate party forward. J “ It’s a m st ike Sir, hy—” “ Oh, theie’s :i • mistake, rny good man ; no mistaae,” interrupted tiie gua. lian of the place. “ No mistake.” echoed the lunatic, with t!u* most perfect nonch ilance [display ing all the while the most rational demeanor. “ Sir,’’ shouted the unfortunate party; “Sir. are yon serious I Are you a ware of what you're about i” “ Perfectly serious; perfectly aware of what wo are doing,” replied the superintendent dryly. “ rSir, I’m not the lunatic ; that is the lunat ic.” pointing a third time to the proper party. I “ Let go vour hold, or you retain it at your peril,” vociferated the other. ••Never mind the poor fellow; I told you ho v he would conduct himself, and what he would ’ say.” observed the lunatic. A few pulls in ire. and the astonished and en raged party was a-In illy dragged into his destin eJ iii aii 'ni. W ien h »th the super in lendem and the inter.nr servant let go their hold, I leave ’ the reader to fancy what were the feelings of the poor wight: “Quite safe now; he's in our custody now ! and v»u are relieved from ail further responsibili ty.” said the superintendent to the insane party, the in-.mient he had shut the door on the suppo sed lunatic. •• All right,” said the real lunatic, as if relieved fron a load of responsibility. •* The family of the ' unfortunate man will make the necessary arrange ments as to the expense.” “ Oh, that’s settled already ; the necessary ar rangements were made yesterday, when the first intimation of his coming here was sent us. j : “ 8o I understood,” said the lunatic, in a mat -1 ' ter ol course sort of style; and with that he quit ted the place, and springing into the gig which had remained at the gate all this lime, drove away home again. : It is impossible to describe the mingled sur prise and consternation with which his relatives and friends were seized on bis return home Their • first apprehension, on missing his keeper was, that he had murdered him on his way ; and their fears were only partially calmed by his assuring them in answer to their inquiries as to what had become of his companion, that when they both proceeded to the asylum, the parties having charge of the institution insisted that his companion w-s : ’ a lunatic, and took him under their care accord \ iugly, An express was sent oil to the asylum, : to inquire whether the parties had been there at • i all, when the messenger found to his inalterable ■ | surprise, that the facts were as the lunatic hid " j ’ represented ; and us the messenger s statements and protestations as to the mistake which had r" were equally discredited with ■hoseot t he unfortunate keeper himself, the latter vas not liberated until the following day.

We, the undersigned, practitioners of medicine in Germany, are we 1 aware that, by our course, we may forfeit the friendship of some of the facul ty, but not of its henevoient members, who are un influenced by se lish motives, though vve shall refrain from an expression of our opinion, either of tae soundness or uiisounduess of Dr. r.oelick’s new doctrine we are happy to say that we deem his Sanative too valuable not to be generally known —for what our eyes behold and our ears i hear, we must believe. ■ We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis Often Goeliek first came before the German public, as i the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and a new medicine, vve held him in the highest con tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to be * a base impostor and the prince of quacks. But, on ■ hearing so much said about the Sanative, against it and for it, vve were induced, from motives of curi -1 osity merely, to make trial of its reputed virtues , upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and we now deem it our bounden duty (even at the expense ot self-interest publicly to acknowledge its edicacy in curing not only consumption, uut other fearful maladies, which vve have heretofore : j believed to be incurable. Our contempt for the discoverer of this medicine was at once swallowed ■ip in our utter astonishment at these unexpected results ; and, as amends for our abuse of him, we ’ do frankly confess to the world, that we believe 1 him a philanthropist, who does honor to t..c profes skn, and to our country, which gave him birth. The recent adoption of this medicine into some of our European hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty that it performs all promises.
