Show At the Turn of the Tide. It was asserted by Arlstotlo that no animal dies near tho sea except nt tho ebbing of tho tide. T Ill's idea In somo form or another has been popular for centuries Such a notion, I find, still exists nt Gravesend. An old salt who used to bit by a dlng man In an ale house on the shore of the Thames told me he noticed my patient was always worse at tho turn of the tide, nnd then got better after the -tide had turned, lload-ors lload-ors of Dickons cannot forgot tho account ac-count In "David Copperflold" of Mr. Barkis "going out with the tldo." Accoidlng to Arlstotlo and Mr. Peg-gotty, Peg-gotty, it Is at tho ebbing ot the tldo that death ulna s occurs, But tit Gravesend, 1 am told, It docs not mat-tor mat-tor whothor tho tldo Is at tho ebb or flow; it Is Just at tho turn ot tho tldo that death occurs. "I havo often seon It haprn. .1-" an old shrimper said to mo qulto recently, Practltlonor la tho Hospital. s ' . ' - v y. - I i i 1 1 ' f , |
