is spreading, and at present "his sa- sumed the proportions, and many of the characteristics, of the dancing mania of the Middle Ages. The extreme severity of his strictures is
called forth by the appen- rance of the latest contribution to the subject, The Mystery of William Shakes. penre: A Summary of Evidence,' by Judge Wobb, Regius Professor of Laws in the University of Dublin. The adherence of such an authority as Judge Webb to the Baconian theory leads Mr Collins to say:
Of all the frivolities and follies now epidemic in the present too general dogra- dation of literary criticism, the monstreus myth of which Dr Webb has constituted: himself the apologist is by far the most, mischievous. It is not merely that names which are the pride and glory of our
country are becoming associated with the buffooneries of sciolists, cranks, and frib.. bles, and thus gradually acquiring a sort of ludicrous connotation; but for the sanc and intelligent study of our national olassics is being substituted a morbid scra tiny for evidence in support of paradoxes, and an unsavory interest in hypothetical scandals about their private lives.'
The theory of the Baconian authorship of Shakespeare's plays belongs, says Mr Collins, in the category with such conten. tions as that Solomon was the author of the Iliad,' and Nausicaa, the authoress of the 'Odyssey'; that the Comedies of Terence, the Æneid' of Vergil, and the Odes of Horace were the compositions of medieval monks; that 'Paradise Lost' was concocted by a syndicate, the president of which was Ellwood; that King Alfred wrote the 'Beowulf,' and George III. the Letters of Junius'; that Emily Tennyson was the author of In Memoriam." All of these absurdities have been gravely main- tained, and surprisingly ingenious argu ments and curious erudition brought forward in their support. But among all these the Baconian paradox stands alone. Saya Mr Collina
-
'It is not so much by its absurdity as by the absence of everything which could give any color to that absurdity that the Bacon- Shakespeare myth holds a unique place among literary follies. Its supporters have

HOW I CURE WEAK, PUNY MEN
Give me a man broken down from dissipation, bard work, or worry, from any cause which has sapped his vitality. Let him follow my nuties for three months and I will make him as vigorous in every respect as any man of his age.
I will not promise to make a Hercules of a man who was never intended by nature to be strong and sturdy.

As for get- ting any sleep, it was often quite out of the question. I wonder I did not go out of my mind. I often thought I should do so and many times my sufferings were so great that I could have done away with myself.
'I was attended by doctors on and off for the full 16 years of my illness and had "so many that I cannot remember them all. I tried all sorts of medicing without result. I was also an outpatient for several months at a Homeopathic Hospital, but derived no benefit whatever from the treatment. One

his miseries. The one exception that seems to be made by civilised opinion (Before His Lordship, Sir H. 8. Berkeley, is in the case of women in danger of falling into the hands of barbarians, as at Peking during the Boxer outbreak. It is not right on the other hand, howover, to assert that in cases it is the doctor's sad duty to prolong A patient's pain. He administers medicine to nullify agony, and with the hope that a turn for the better will occur. If the patient lives with the edge off the agony well and good, and if he dies early so much the better for himself. The position of the doctor ia a difficult one, and the strongest argument against allowing medical men to say when attempts to restore a patient to health should be ceased and his life be done away with, is that the privilege might be abused.
