The Zoist. No. XLIII.

It will be found from the October number of this
remarkable periodical, the number but just pub-
lished, that the Journal of Cerebral Physiology
and Mesmerism still has Dr. Elliotson as its most
conspicuous contributor, and certainly, of all the
writers in the Zoist, the most intelligent and inde-
fatigable. A curious case is described by him in
the new instalment of the publication with which
his name has long since come to be identified—the
case of a young man suffering from Delirium Tre-
mens, successfully treated by Mesmerism. The
following statement is also notable
" Extraction of an Upper Molar Tooth, with partia
consciousness of pain, on August Ist, 1853.—A very ro-
bust and intelligent young woman came to me from a
neighbouring town to have a tooth extracted during
mesmeric sleep • but as she had never before been mes-
merised, I doubted whether this would be practicable,
for she had only a few hours to spare, and during them
had to transact some other business before returning
home by the train. However, I succeeded in producing
mesmeric sleep in less than ten minutes. I then applied
the forceps, and endeavoured to dislocate the tooth.
She screamed violently, and laid hold of my hands. I
soon loosened them and extracted the tooth. She was
in the act of rinsing her mouth with warm water when
she awoke, and said she had felt a slight pain, but had
not the least recollection of having screamed or grasped
my hands."
At the close of the current number of the Zoist
will be found (under the double-query " Can Pro-
fessor Faraday never be Wrong ? or is Table-
turning all a delusion ?") an ingenious argument in
opposition to the deductions of a great living phi-
losopher.

PROPOSED STATUE OF PRINCE ALBERT IN HYDE-PARK.
—We see with very great pleasure that the Lord Mayor
has put himself at the head of a movement for carrying
out an idea suggested and more than once urged in these
columns, that of commemorating the great industrial
gathering in Hyde-park by a statue of the illustrious
Prince to whore active and energetic co-operation it
owed so much of its success. Lord Granville, as vice
chairman of the commission for that Exhibition, very
properly, in our opinion, when applied to on the subject,
considered himself disqualified from taking the initiative,
or, indeed, any ostensible part in the matter, though it
has, we are sure, his lordship's very hearty approval.
The Lord Mayor, therefore, assumed the leadership—
addressed the provincial mayors for support, we believe
with great success—and maintained the right of the me-
tropolis to take the first place in what is nevertheless a
national movement. We cannot doubt that the Lord
Mayor's project will have a large acceptance, and that
such a sum will be forthcoming as will secure a work
worthy of the unparalleled fact which it has to record.—
At/I,omm.
