A surgeon, thirty two yrars OF age, OF a
good constitution, had suffered for Eve years,
pain, with sensation OF pressure, and prick
ling In the scalp, arising from a sudden check
of the perspirution, from a cold bath. Du-
ring the same period, the skin Of the
body was covered with liver colosred spots,
which caused aainsupporiable itching These
pains of the head had incapacitated him
from doirg any thing that required at
tention, he was therefore compelled 20 a.
bandon his profession, and even botany,

from the fourth TO the eighth of Dee, dissipa-
ted the pains, removed the unessincss in the
scalp, and enabled bin to return 10 his usual
occupations. A month after this treatment
the .cuticle was renewed over the whole boz

ing been informed by his mother that She had
suffered during her youth from an herpctc e.
ruption lie had tried a lew remedies, among
others, solution OF muriatie acid, rubbed up
on the part, without success.
After the first tumgation inken'on the 22d
OF June, the itching diminished, and, as the
patient was therefore prevented from scratch
