Godefroid now went to the rue d'Enfer, the address given him by Monsieur Alain, and there found Dr. Berton, a cold, grave man, who astonished him much by confirming all the details given by Monsieur Bernard about his daughter's illness. From him Godefroid obtained the address of Halpersohn.
"Monsieur, I am the Baron Bourlac, formerly attorney-general," he said to the commissary of police, whose scarf now attracted his eye. "I entreat you to explain all this." "Monsieur, if you are Baron Bourlac, two words will be enough. I have just examined this young man, and he admits " "What?" "The robbery of four thousand francs from Doctor Halpersohn!" "Is that true, Auguste?"
Mind, I do not say that I can restore the use of her legs; but cured of the disease, that she shall be. Only, I must have her in a private hospital under my own eye." "But, monsieur, my daughter cannot be moved!" "I will answer for her," said Halpersohn, curtly; "but I will answer for her only on those conditions.
He bowed in a stately manner to Halpersohn, and opened the door of his daughter's room cautiously. "Vanda, my child, here is the doctor," he said. Then he stood aside to allow Halpersohn, who kept on his bear-skin pelisse, to pass him.
Hearing those words in the celestial notes of Vanda's enchanting voice, Godefroid stopped short on the spot where he stood. "Cured!" he exclaimed. "For the last ten days he has allowed me to walk out," she replied. "Who? Halpersohn?" "Yes," she said. "Why have you not been to see us?
Yes, his mother blesses him, Halpersohn adores him, but my father is implacable!" "What affair?" asked Godefroid. "Ah! I recognize your generosity," cried Vanda. "What a heart you have! Your mother must be proud of you." She stopped as if a pain had struck her heart. "I swear to you that I know nothing of the affair of which you speak," said Godefroid.
When he reached the rue Basse-Saint-Pierre, the porter told him that he did not know what had become of the father of the lady who had arrived that afternoon; the orders of Monsieur Halpersohn were to admit no one to see her for the next eight days, under pain of putting her life in danger. This answer brought Auguste's exasperation to a crisis.
"I will come and see you this evening; they expect Halpersohn at any time, and I shall go there day after day until I find him." "Ah, monsieur! if you should be the cause of my daughter's recovery, I would like, yes, I would like to give you my work!" "Monsieur," said Godefroid, "I am not a publisher." The old man started with surprise.
A vast body of observation, not codified, exists in Poland on the effects of certain plants, and certain barks of trees reduced to powder, which are transmitted from father to son, and family to family, producing cures that are almost miraculous. Halpersohn, who for five or six years was called a quack on account of his powders and herb medicines, had the innate science of a great physician.
Halpersohn approved of the invention of homoeopathy, more on account of its therapeutics than for its medical system; he was corresponding at this time with Hedenius of Dresden, Chelius of Heidelburg, and the celebrated German doctors, all the while holding his hand closed, though it was full of discoveries. He wished for no pupils.
