Says Professor Joseph M. Smith, M.D., of the same school: "All medicines which enter the circulation poison the blood in the same manner as do the poisons that produce disease." Says Professor St. John, of the New York Medical College : "All medicines are poisonous."
Every time the current of blood passed through his brain in the course of its circulation it brought the words with it, altered a little, and singing like a voice. Like a voice! Suddenly he made the discovery that it actually was a voice and not his own. It was no longer the blood singing in his veins, it was some one singing outside the window.
The enormous circulation achieved by the Cornhill Magazine, when it was first started with Thackeray for its editor in chief, is a matter of literary history. The announcement by his publishers that a sale of a hundred and ten thousand of the first number had been reached made the editor half delirious with joy, and he ran away to Paris to be rid of the excitement for a few days.
There he was living in tranquil retirement when he learned that his brother had united Holland to the Empire.

But this extravagance brought instant reaction, and, twinkling, he said: "Well, if it had limits, we shouldn't be born; for by George! it's got a lot to put up with." Then, removing his top hat, he brushed it round with a cuff. The great clumsy thing heated his forehead; in these days he often got a rush of blood to the head his circulation was not what it had been.
The most recent account of it was written in the year 1880, by the Rev. Dr. Fitch, for "The Scarborough Gazette," from which it has been reprinted for private circulation in the shape of a dainty pamphlet.
"It does not make you angry, I hope!" "Why should it?" "Because you might think " "I may think?" "That I am the echo of rumors." "What rumors?" "No, nothing; absurdities." "But, tell me then?" "It is no reason because there are reports in circulation about you " "About me?"
