Lord Fareham asked, one August afternoon, when the ghost party at Millbank was almost forgotten amid a succession of entertainments on land and river; a fortnight at Epsom to drink the waters; and a fortnight at Tunbridge where the Queen and Court were spending the close of summer to neutralise the bad effects of Epsom chalybeates with a regimen of Kentish sulphur.
"'There'll be some hiatuses in your program, says Paisley, chewing up a piece of a railroad tie. 'I'd give in to you, says he, 'in 'most any respect if it was secular affairs, but this is not so.

Bevis appeared on the scene, to whom the curious circumstance was mentioned. On tasting the water from the garden well he was surprised to find its "flavour so near that of the best chalybeates," and at once informed Mr. Hughes that it might be made of great benefit both to the public and himself.

A grain of opium was given immediately, and repeated every six hours with evident and amazing advantage; afterwards a blister, with chalybeates, bitters, and essential oils, were exhibited, but nothing had such eminent effect in relieving the difficulty of breathing and coldness of her extremities as opium, by the use of which in a few weeks she perfectly regained her health, and has suffered no relapse.
On this theory the bitter medicines, chalybeates, and opiates in appropriated doses, exhibited for a fortnight, give permanent strength to pale feeble children, and other weak constitutions.
