very of his uncle GALTANI. There experiments lie
has already performed with complete fuccefs in
the Univerfity of Word, before Sir CHRISTO7HRI
Psoo and Dr. Bawcaort ; and the 25th of lath
month, a curious and ingenious paper of his, on
the fame rubjeet, was read before the Royal So-
ciety. It may be obferved, that betides the wide
field opened for curious refearch by the new me-
t:iod in which Profefror ALDiat eicites mufcular
contraSions, without the affiflance of metals,
t lee experiments Teem likely to prove highly in-
terefling to humanity, as the Profetror has applied
them ao cafes of fufpended animation, fuch as
drowning, afphyxia, &c. and to the cure of Me-
Lincholy madnefs, from which he entirely reco.
vexed two perfons at Bologna; and he made Tome
attempts of the fame kind at Paris, with the cele-
brated Dr. Pim el., in the hofpital de la Sallottriere.
With the fame benevolent view he has had Tome
conferences with the Humane Society, in regard
to an ettablifhment to be devoted to this ufeful
purport ; and as he takes a pleafure in communi-
cating information, in regard to his difcoveries, to
thole defirous of being, acquainted with them, we'
hope medical men will take advantage of fo fa-
vourable an opportunity, till the appearance of a
large work on this curious rubjed,.which, we have
tea Ton to believe, Profefror ALDINI intends to pub-
lifh before his return to Italy.
