NERVOUS DEAFNESS.—" ARNICA. MONTAN.L."—A
paper of considerable importance to sufferers from nervous deaf-
ness was read on Saturday afternoon, by Dr. Cronin, Craven-
street, Strand.(pbysician to the Free Dispensary for Asthma),
on the efficacy of " arnica montane" in the cure of
this distressing affection. The lecturer observed that deaf-
ness was more prevalent than was generally imagined—that
there was a marked difference between nervous derangement
and structural changes; and that he :believed the frequent
failure of aurists iii the cure of deafness arose from a total
inattention to the difference between dis Orders arising from
either mere torpor or increased irritability, and those to
which were superadded structural alterations. He next
called attention to the natural history, chemical constitution,
and medical properties of the arnica, observing that, having
found it highly beneficial in several disttessing nervous af-
fect ions, he: tried it in nervous deafness, and had much plea-
sure in alluding to the cases of several highly respectable per-
sons completely relieved by its use. Dr. Cronin then com-
mented on the mutilation practised by some aurists of re-
moving the uvula and glands of the throat, and remarked
that operations of this kind tended, from _the shock produced
on the nervous sytem to increase, rather than diminish, the
disease, and concluded some highly,interesting observations,
by stating that the College of Physicians omitted in their last
Pharmacopoeia" this valuable remedy, but hoped it would
be restored in their next.—Standard. .An abstract of the
ecture will shortly be published by Mr. Cronin.
EFFECTS OF RAILWATS.—Within the last month,
the two .principal postmasters of Rochester have appealed
against the.ainount at which their premises were rated to the.
poor, stating, as the ground of their claim, that, in conse-'
quenceof the decrease of traffic on the road to Dover, the
value of their property is materially depreciated. On the
last application of this nature, the guardians said that pro-
perty of all kind in that city was materially lowered in value,
and the board of guardians •for the parish of• St. Nicholas,
Rochester, have consequently determined to reduce the valua-
tion of the 'whole parish. It is understood that the proposed
reduction will amount to me-fifth of the whOle.
