Unirtrsai PARALYSIS.
One of the patients of the Hospital of st
Louis, about forty five years OF age, was at
tackled in June, 1914, with typhus fever,
then prevalent in the Hospital The nervous
symptoms in the case were of the most Urgent
character, and terminated in universal pal
sy, Tor which the sulphur fumigations were
tried. The patient took about forty fumiga-
tons her health gradually improved, until it
was perfectly re-established she is now well,
and is one OF the laundresses OF the Hospital
. RoseOlus .4deciion Of the Face
lady of ii singuine temperan ent had been
several months afflicted with singularly un-
pleasant and obstinate roseous affection of the
face and neck. On ordinary occasions, very
little external appearance OF disease YVES per
ceptible, but upon the slightest excitement,
such mental agitation, exercise or warmth,
however produced, a high ,is gree of flushing
ensued, attended with an intolerable sense OF
burning and itching. In short, the unpleasant
condition OF this lady cannot easily be ina
gined.
In the month of October, 1921, she subject
ed herself To- four general tumi9ations taken
in as many days. The immediate effect OF the
first was apparentlyto aggravate hercompant,
which, from the common effect of heat was Il,
be expected The third application seemed
to check the disorder completely. To test the
efficacy of the remedy, she now exposed her
self for several hours TO the heat of warm
fire, when no Inconvenience resulted She re-
ceived fourth fumigation, and has ever
since remained free from the disease. What
is most worthy of remark In ibis case is, the
great and sudden influence seXerted upon the
parts not subjected to the inlme diate operation
a Tie sulFhurous gas.
Rheumatic Affection Of He Head
A surgeon, thirty two years OF age, of a
good constitution, had suffered for FIVE years,
pail, with sensation OF pressure, and prick
ling in the scalp, arising from sudden check
OF the perspiraiion, from cold bath. Du-
ring the same period, the skin of the
body was covered with liver coloured spots
which caused an nsupportable itching These
pains of the head had incapacitated him
from doing any thing that required at
tention, he was therefore compelled TO O..
bandon his profession, and even botany,
his favourte study. Five tumigatons, taken
from the fourth to thc eighth of Dec, dsspa-

occupations. A month after this treatment
lhe cuticle was renewed over the whole bo-
dy. Isaw the patient eight months afterwards;

dy.
Chronic Rheumatism, complicated Nth G0ut.
man, aged ifty-four years, of good con-
stitution, had been habtually affected, for five
years, with rheumatic pains, shifting from the
head to the breast, aud all the joints, and who
had govt alternately in each foot, received
three applications of the fumigations, from the
l5th to the Eth of April-the first of which
produced copious perspirnton. He was deli
yered, as il BY magic, from his pains, and the
debility OF his limbs restored
Dry Ittta.
man, forty-three years 0f age, an nhabi-
tant OF one ofthe ports of the Adriatic had
been afflicted for ten years with a very exten-
sive letter, surrounding the neck and Shout
derS. She letter was dry, and often covered
with red points, with suppurating tumors, to
which the linen adhered. Ii was attend

was good, except slight chronic opthamia,
attributed TO the sea air. lie recollected hav-
ing been informed by his mother that she had
suffered during her youth from an herpetic e.
rtption. He had tried few remedies, among
Others, solution of muriatc acid, rubbed up-
on the part, without success.
After the first fumigaton, taken on the ODD
of June, the itching diminished, and, as the
patient was therefore prevented from scratch
ing, the linen no longer adhered to the back
After the seventh application, the improve
ment was truly astonishing the itching hay
ing almost entirely ceased. An eruption. ari-
sing from The fumigatons, appeared upon the
right arm, so as 10 interrupt the treatment
