Elixir of Life.

Wonderful thing, that “Elixir oi Life” discovered by Dr. Brown-Se-quard. Is it? Of course it is. Makes an old man of ninety feel as frisky as a boy. You don’t say! Fact. Methuselah would have been alive to-day could he only have had a dose of it occasionally. Going to be a great thing for Egypt when they get hold of it. In what way? Well, you see there is a desperate war going on in Egypt. The dervishes are trying to conquer that country. Thousands of men are killed and the Egyptian army must be recruited. How are they going to do it ? Inject the Brown-Sequard elixir into the mummies. Many of them were fighters from way back, as they say, and their youth being restored they will pitch in and lick them dervishes out of their sandals, see ? The elixir will restore a mummy ? Certainly. Restore anything. I expect it would set the Sphinx on its feet. There’s one thing that I don’t believe that it can do. What’s that ? Put new life into the Grant Monument scheme. Well, there are some tMngs that appear to be impossible, and perhaps that is one of them.
