HOW TNE BLOOD 18 DRANK. A visit to the slaughter-house at the foot of "Thirty-fourth strect was imade yesterday by the writer. Paseing through the long lines of beef, dressed and ready for tho markoet, to the centre of the huge bullding, the ehamblos are found, Ureat, sturly men, with arms bare to tho shoulder and dyed with blood, stood within a small nclosure, and hanging befors them wasa ‘Texan steer, sti!l warm and tho blood dripping from agash in his throat.

Tho steer was lowercd to the floor, and, while tho hide was beinx raplary taken from his body, the writer turned to one of the attendants and sald: “ Do people come liere Lo drink blood 1" “ Lord bless you, yes; lots of them.

FAITIL IN THE RLOOD-CURE, It (s a curious fact that tho men nbout the *slaughter-houses have the most complcte faith in the blood-cure, and yet ft was almost Impossl- ble to find one that had drank blood himecl. It ts clalmed by the adsocates of tho cure, who are, as a rule, outside of the medical profession, that butchers and men who are habitnally em- plu{ed about the abattoirs are the atrongest and most robuasr. in the world naa class, and cnscs are eited where men gofng into elaughter- houses ta work {n poor and falling health have, In a fewmonths, entirely recovered theiratrength and vitality, ‘There arc numbets of such cuses that can fully substantiated. The writer calied upon anumber of butchers throughiout tho city and there was not one who did not fndorse bidod-drinking in the tullest anil most hearty terms. They even went further than that, and clahued that to sctually drink the blood was ouly necessary in the most scvera cases. . Ordl- Dary cases can be cured and have been, say they, by the patisut's elinply stancing ncar ‘vy when'a buil s killed and inhaling the gases and steam that arises from the interior of the bodfl‘ Upon the writer's {ntimation to ono of tha butchers that the theory of inhaling the escaping vitality amacked somewhat of humbug, the butcher rulmedl ropiied that he know nothing about hat, but he did know that a man suffering from certain discnses whe would stand over o beel's paunch lung enough would get cured. A DANGENOUS CURE, The butchera say thut thu phiysicians will not prescribe blood for their patlents simply from prejudice. They do prescrihe raw méat, and certalnly, sy they, the propertfes of raw meat are to be found in thh blood in a greater and stronger degree, The writer conversed witha number of physlelana on the subject, und they nenrly all opposed blood-drinking, while man; of them acknowledeed that they belleved most cxeelient results bave followed In some cnses, Most of them objected to it on the ground that ftcreated a depraved appetite that might fn thne pass beyoud all control, Onedoctor states that ho believes the thirst for bullock's hlood creates a thirst for humanblood If not cnecked in tiine, and he had henrd of a cass where a blood- dnuker, on being deprived of his customary beverage, sprangt upon une of his brothers and attempted to tear tho flesh of his arm with his teeth, His passlon for blood had become so strong and ungovernsble that it was necessacy to contina and watcl him. While out of the - Auence hedeplored the tact that he couldnot con- trol his aw(ul appetite, and warned his relatives and Irlends of the danger of approaching him when the mania returncd, - He bhad been acens- tomed to drink bullock’s blood ut a certain hour of the'day, and exactly at that hour the fiereo apirit of n Texau steer seeined to possess him, ho friends of the theory of the * Dlvod- cure” claln that the vphyslclans do not pay the attention to the subject that its apparent success would demand, and there is litle doubt that while somg physiclans have looked into and studied tho matter carefully, the wajority have not. h TIE MBDIOAL VIEW, While medical men bave all surts of reasons for their opposition to the * cxre,” tho follow- ing brief conversation held with Dr, C. Platt Baxton, who has mado a apecial study of the matter, may bo regarded as contalning the gist of the oplnlons of thoso of the fraternity who have studied the sublect at all: * Do physiclans cver prescribe the blood of animals to their paticuts!™ asked the writer. * Not tomy knowledge; I never beard of any physlelan preseribing 1t to bu taken interpally.” +What do you think of it yourself" “I1 18 o theory very ditlicult of demoustrn- tlon, except as we demonstrato all remedics thut are celebrated for certain cures—ny the result of the prescription.
