A feat accomplished by Dr. Macpherson, who was attached to the forcé led against King Mwanga in the last tTganda campaign, is entitled to honorable recognition. Mwanga's followers used poisoned arrows, and the men, though only slightly wounded by such. Inevitably died. Macpherson set hirnself to discover an antidote to the poison in which the arrows had been dipped, and was led to try injections of strychnine. This treatment was attended with entire success, not a man being thereafter lost from mere poisoning. Dr. Macpherson, it is said, invariably succeeds in bringing the ■wounded men around in about a couple of hours.
