MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE..

A great personage, on being told that the Editors of some peri-
odical papers had stated that he was nearly blind, observed, with a
smile, I can see further into their politics than they imagine."
The fact is, his vision is as good at this time as it has been for the
last thirty years, and there is no disease going on in either eye.
Dr. Robert Bree, the celebrated Author of a wretched eompi
lation on diseases of the Chest, now only about seventy-five years
of age, hashed the good fortune to meet wills a rib, in her thirtieth.
In consequence of this union, the Doctor has told his friends that
he has given up practice. The Doctor gave a preference to Lea-
mington for the honey-moon season, which, from appearances, is
likely to last the winter.
The corrections, &c. of the new London Pharmacopeia go on so
slowly, that it is very doubtful if it will appear for some years. The
learned members, we understand, cannot agree as to the omission
of some articles and the introduction of other,. Some violently
object to extemporaneous formula, and even directions for making
ointments, &c. used in surgery ; and others are as violent for their
insertion. Great difference of opinion also exists respecting the
adoption of the new chemical names. The Professor at Cambridge
says, that the medical men in hie neighbourhood are not yet be-
come acquainted with the last new names I! What is to be done
when such learned doctors disagree? They all, however, seem to
dread the chemical criticism their " aew labours" will undergo.
Paris is a great man among some of there ; but in consequence of
the non-sale, we may indeed say the death of his medical chemistry
in its infancy, a little one with the few who have any knowledge of
chemistry. The President semis to sleep ever it. Tuthill coin-
plains bitterly of the limited sale of his translation.
Excessive TIMM—Dr. Ailert, a German physician, relates a
cue of excessive thirst in a female, apparently not depending on
any organic change. The quantity of water which she had already
drank was very great, without any alleviation of the intolerable
thirst. A quarter of a piut of strong camphorated julep, taken
every two bouts, speedily allayed the malady, after every other
means had failed.
Locizo JAW.—An Italian journal relates the case of a woman
affected with locked jaw, following a slight wound of the forehead,
which was cured by applying acetate of morphine to a blistered
surface on the nape of the neck. Thus applied, it speedily exerted
its peculiar antispasmodic powers, although, when administered in-
ternally, it proved of no avail.
Se. Vmett's Duica.—Dr. Elliotson lately cured a girl about tea
years of age who was of with a severe degree of St. Vitus's
dance, by giving her two drachms of the sub-carbonate of iroa
every six hours. In his remarks on her case, he observes, that
this practice was much more efficacious than the purgative plan so
strongly recommended by Dr. Hamilton, of Edinburgh. He has
cared twenty cases by the sub-carbonate of iron.

Cortez, an eminent surgeon of -Gibraltar. has published a case of
excessive escape of blood after the extraction of a tooth, in which
the introduction of soft bees-wax, of the same size and shape of
the tooth, into the cavity, effectually succeeded in° compressing the
lacerated vessel or vessels. When a tooth has more than one fang
this practice it more likely to prove successful than the plan of in.
troducing a plug of compretted dried sponge, recommended by a
correspondent in one of our early numbers, on account of its
admitting of being forced into all the divisions of the cavity by
pressure.
ASTNMA, &c.—The saturated etherial tincture of Lobelia inflata has
been very generally prescribed in eases of spasmodic asthma and diffi-
culty of Needling, attended with insufficient expectoratioe ; and
from the numerous reports we have received of its effects, it has
been uniformly attended with the same happy results as noticed
by Dr. John Andrew, of Glasgow, and the American physicians.
—ln some cases which have occurred in our own practice, it has
acted like a charm, in subduing the spasmodic constriction in a few
minutes. It not only allays the irritation about the glottis, but
promotes expectoration. For the chronic winter-cough it is also
an excellent remedy. Smoking the herb is a powerful preventive
of the paroxysm. The dose of the saturated etherial tincture is
from thirty to forty drops in a glass of camphorated julep, or a cold
infusion of rosemary or peppermint tea.—Monthly Gazette of
Health, Oct. 1.

PALACE COURT, October 2.

/11.14 DY V. VIDITI.S.

Mr. B►coN stated that this was an action by a surgeon, residing
in Stamford-street, Waterloo-road, against Catherine Wintle, a
milliner, living in the same neighbourhood, to recover a sum of
X 5. Zs. 6d for medicine furnished to her. The defendant admitted
the surgeon's bill, but pleaded a set off, and the question for the
jury then was as to the fairness of the defendant's bill of .C 5. 10..
for a cloak for the doctor's lady, furnished in November 1825.
Mr. FLANNMAN, for the defendant, said that this was one of the
many instances in which medical Gentlemen, he meant pushing
young Gentlemen, adroitly introduced themselves into families.—
The defendant was taken ill, and thought proper to prescribe for
herself. She sent to the plaintiff's shop for a blister ; the plaintiff
seemed very anxious about the application of it. To her astonish-
ment, the defendant was the next day honoured by a visit from
the plaintiff, who, after repeating his attentions for a abort period,
fell In love—the Jury would be surprised to hear that, as he was
a married man, but, for the honour of married men, he felt
himself bound to explain that his affections were placed—not on
the young milliner, but on some beautiful silk cloaks which were
then making for the Lady Mayoreu •and the Bishop of London's
Lady. Silk cloaks were then coming into fashion, and Mr. Handy
determined that Mrs. Handy should have a splendid cloak of blue
silk lined with amber. It was to be made in a superior manner,
which was done, and every thing went weU till the bill came in,
when it was
.disputed. The defendant !sedum home 7a. worth of
phials to the plaintiff, and had tendered Is. ad. and as the'plaintirs
hill had originally amounted to 51. 19s. deducting:7s. for the phials,
he had no doubt but the Jury would consider that the half-crown
would be all the plaintiff was entitled to.
The Learned Counsel called almost an army of milliners, linen.
drapers,and cloak-makers, who all deposed that the charges were
very moderate.
The Counsel for the plaintiff also called several, who said that
less than W. would have been ample payment foe the cloak.
The Jury returned a verdict fur the defendant.

It is whispered that a certain Irish orator, in the pleni-
tude of his zeal, means to move in the next &Woo of Parliament
for leave to bring in a Bill to authorise Roman Catholic Prelates to
assume the same rank and privileges as the Protestant Church Dig-
nitaries, with the exception that the latter should be allowed the
precedei,ce of the former. • Such measures as these are of Course
to be expected from Popish bigotry.
TheSOLICITOR-GENERAL, in his speech on returning
thanks on his health being drank at the inauguration dinner of the
New Sheriffs, at Vintners' Hall, on Wednesday, laid partimder
stress on his own disposition, both in his present and any future
office he may arrive at, to execute the laWs with lea,esedeni wisich

its contents, betide' melte in sovereigns and half-anvereigets. There
is no clue as yet to the thief. On the same afternoon a man, about
five feet seven inches in height, drissed in black, and having a
white handkerchief over his left eye, entered the shop of Mr. Lit.

silver watches. The thief was seen at the =bent at tits leaving
