R0seoiHs objection Of The Face
A lady of sansulne temperament had been
,leasaut and obstinate roseolus affection Of the
lace and neck. On ordinary Occasions, very
lille external appearance of disease was per
centible. but upon the slightest excitement,
steh a, mental agitation, exercise or warmth,
however produced, a high degree of flushing
ensued attended with an intolerable sense OF
bnrning aud itching. In short, the unpleasant
condition OF this lady cannot easily be ina
gned. 90,
ed herself to four general fumisations, taken
in as many days. The immediate effect OF the
first was apparently to asgrasaie hercompialnt,
which, from the comInon effect OF heat, was TO
be expected. The third application seemed
TO check the disorder completely. 10 test the
efficacy of the reuIedy, she now exposed her
self for several hours to the heat OF "a warm
fire. when no Inconvenience resulted. She re-
ceivcd fourth iamgation, and has ever
since remained free from the disease. What
is most worthy OF remark in this case is, the
great and sudden influence eXerted upon the
narts moi subjected 10 the immediate operation
vi the suphurous gas.
Rheumatic affection Of the Head.
A surgeon, thirty two years OF age, OF
good constitution, lad suffered Tor five years,
main. with a sensation al pressure, and prick
ling in the scalp arising from sndden check
OF the perspration, from cold bath Dn-
ring the same period, the skin OF the
body was covered with liver coloafed spots,
which caused an insapportable itching These
mains of the head had inexperienced him
iron, doing any thing that required at
tention, he was therefore compelled to a.
bandon his profession, and even botany,
his favourite study. Five tumgations, taken
from the fourth to the eighth OF Dec, dissipa-
ted the paiss, removed the uneasiness in the
SCALP aud enabled him TO return 10 his usual
ordinations A month after this treatment
the cuticle was renewed over the whole boz
DIV, lsaw the patient eight months afterwards;
he still enjoyed sound health OF mind and bo-
Gy.
Chronic Rheumatism, complicated Nth Goat.
A man, aged hfty-tour years, oil a good con
situation, had been habituaiIy affected, Tor i've
years, with rheumatic pains, shifting from the
head to the bre asst and ali the Jonts, and who
had govt alternately in each foot, received
three applications oil the iumigations, from the
10th TO the I'm OF Aprit-the first OF which
produced eopious perspiration. lie was deli
vered, as if by magic, from his pains, and the
fexiblity OF his limbs restored
Dry Tetter.
A man, forty-three years OF age, an inhahi-
tanl al one OF the ports OF the Ahrlatlc, mad
been afflicted for ten years with very extern
sise letter surrounding the neck and shout
ders. The letter was dry, and often covered
with red points, with suppurating tumors, to
which the linen adhered. 1t was attend
ed with excessive itching. The general health
was good, except a slight chronic opthalma,
attributed to the sea air. lie rccolected hav-
iag been informed by his mother that she had
during her youth from an herpetic e.
puption lie had tried IA few remedies, among
others, a solution OF muriatic acid, rubbed up
an the part, without success.
After the irst iumigation, taken on the 22d
Of Jane, the itching diminished, and, as the
patient was therefore prevented from scratch
lug, the linen no longer adhered to the back.
After the seventh application, the improve
ment was truly astonishing, the itching hav-
1ng almost entirely ceased. An eruption, arr
sing from the piigatons appeared upon the
right arm, so as to interrupt the treatment
but fourteen fumigations in ten days compile
ted the cure.
This establishment has but recently gone in

cases under nv management, all OF which have
improved greatly beyond my expectations.
