PHILADELPHIA, MAY 19.
LOCK JAW.
A PHYSICIAN in Si. Mary's
county, Maryland, writes to bis
friend in ibis city, &be was lately
called to a boy in a lock jaw, on the
74th da, of the disorder. He bad been
taking liquid laudanum in large doses
witbout effia. Tbe phfician who bad
prescribed ibis remedy, gave bin over.
The fafician (our correspondent ) wbo
Succeeded bim, bled bim plentifully and
afterwards gave bim large quantities of
wine and bark. He likewise applied
bliflers to each of bis jaws. B, tbe
use of tbefe remedies, be was relieved
in 26 hours, and on tbe second of May
be was perfealy well. It is to be hop
ed this communication of cure of a dis
order, /0 often fatal, and b, remedies
which have Succeeded in many similar
cases, will prove u/eful to tbe citizens
of tbe United States, and lead them to
rejea a dependence upon a remedy (lau
danum) which has jeldom done Jervice
when used alone, and which is prescrib
ed only in complaisance to great names.
