MELANCHOLY ANIMALS.
k Physician Who Treats Domestic Ani
mals for Melancholia.
[Philadelphia News.]
There is a peculiar hospital on Callow
hill street, a visit to which amply rewards
curiosity or a desire to obtain knowledge
of an uncommon kind. It is no more nor
less than a cat and dog hospital, but,
strangely enough, the inmates do not lead
“a cat and dog life. ” Mutual sufferings
and infirmities seem to have a sedative ef
fect, and these proverbial enemies lie
down together, even as the lion and the
lamb, and take their medicine with a good
grace. The place is conducted by Dr.
Robert .1. Janvier, who devotes his whole
time and attention to the treatment of
canine and feline diseases. The doctor is
an old practitioner, and is acquainted with
all the ills to which cat and dog flesh is
heir to.
A regular physician, he retired from
practice about twenty years ago in Paris,
and devoted himself to the study of ani
mal maladies. He came to Philadelphia
about six years ago and established his
“dog hospital, ” which be has made a suc
cess. A reporter visited the place lately,
and was shown around by the doctor
and treated to some novel sights. The
rear of the house is well ventilated and
lighted, and partitioned off by fence-like
gates, making about thirteen small apart
ments, which can be thrown into one by
the removal of the gates. ■ln each of
these rooms, or wards, as the superinten
dent chooses to call them, are from one to
five cats or dogs. Misery makes strange
bedfellows, and it is by no means unusual
to place a cat and dog or two cats and one
dog together. Indeed, the doctor says this
arrangement is frequently the best, and
more conducive to the health of the
patient.
“For example, ” he said to the inspector,
“here are a dog and a cat. They have been
living together for eight months, and are
as fond of each other as two such ascetic
creatures can be. The dog, you see, is a
fine ‘coach,’ and the cat an excellent
Maltese. n
“What is the matter with them?” was
asked.
“Oh, nothing in particular. They are
both hypochrondriacs—melancholia, you
might call it The dispositions of both
are identical, and neither will have any
thing to do with any of the other patients.
They pass the day and night in silent con
templation of each other, varying the
monotony once in awhile by indulging in
a methodical and dignified caress. Both
have been under my treatment for over a
year, and it took several months to diag
nose and find a treatment for their pe
culiar malady, as the symptoms in each
case are identioal.
“ The dog exhibited the most intense
sadness, apd would not notice any of the
other patients, and would seldom accept
food, though I offered the most tempting
dainties. The cat was the same way,
only she seemed to have a thorough dis
gust for the society of other cats, and the
only time she would ever give a show of
spirit was when some other cat would
come near her. Then she would curve
her back in disdain, and, with a contempt
uous hiss, walk away. It became evident
that she was proud and felt herself above
her companions. I concluded at last to
try the dog, who was also a supercilious
animal, and it was not long before the ar
rangement proved satisfactory. Disap
pointment in love, I imagine, is the cause
of their sorrows. These haughty aristo
crats get along well together, and I have
hopes of bringing them out of their 'slough
of despond.’ ”
The doctor continued a very interesting
narrative, explaining the diseases of the
various animals under his care. There
were about twenty in all, two-thirds of
them dogs, embracing Newfoundlands,
terriers, Skye, black and-tan and bull, and
two Pomeranian or coach dogs. Four
dogs and two cats had consumption, but
the majority were suffering from disease
brought on by accidents. One of the cats
had no hair whatever, and was as bald as
the most confirmed front-seat portion oi
the ballet It was a funny sight, and was
used by the convalescing patients, when
in a good humor, as a roller-skating rink.
Tender-Hearted Victor Hugo.
[London Cor. San Francisco Argonaut.]
There is one thing about Victor Hugo
■which will always keep him young, and
that is his love of youth, his love of young
children. Jeanne and Georges, to whom
he has so often read over the charming
pages of “L’Art d’etre Grandpere, ” arc
now shooting up into adolescence. They
are no longer the pretty girl and boy who
huddle together on their grandpa s knee
in the pretty and familiar photograph
But the affection they once monopolized
has only been widened. It includes all
little children now, even strangers. I saw
tears in the eyes of several of the impres
sionable spectators when the veteran
stooped last night to kiss a dirty little rag
muffin of a boy who had somehow crept
into the poet's drawing-room and was
staring at him open-mouthed. (Perhaps 1
was hypercritical, but for the life of me I
could not help thinking of Pelham, out
canvassing and kissing the cottagers’ little
ones .bedaubed with blackberry jam.)
But I could tell you of other incidents
which prove that Victor Hugo's heart is
tender as the mind is strong.

Extracts from a Private Letter.
Regarding Dr. David Kennedy’s“ Favorite
Remedy,” the writer, Prof. A. B. Chandler,
Principal of the Academy, Brookhaven,
Miss, says: “I suffered from torpidity of the
Liver and Bowels and Paralysis. I used
the ‘Favorite Remedy’ for two months, and
am now able to use my side, which for a
long time had been like a piece of dead
flesh. My general health was never better
than at present.”

This is to certify that I used Dr. Moxley’s
Lemon Elixir for neuralgia of the head and
eyes with the most marked benefits to my
general health. I would gladly have paid SSUO
