Unirersai PARALYSIS
One of the patients of the Hospital of ST
tanis ahou, forty i've years of age, was at
,,ceed in June, 1914, with typhus fever,
,ben ureyalen, in the Hospital. The nervous
SYMPTOMS in the case were OF the most urgent
..,arac,er. and terminated in II universal pal
az for which the sulphur lu,nigations were
,r;ed Tue patient took about forty tumisa-
lions her health gradually improved, until it

RoSsoi,ls .!Gection Of the Face
A lady of sangulnc temperament had been
several months afflicted with a siuguarly an
peasant and obstinate roseolus affection OF the
lace and neck. On ordinary occasions, very
little external appearance of disease was per
ceptible, but upon the slightest excitement,
such as mental agitation, exercise or warmth,
however produced, high degree of flushing
ensued, attended with an iutolerable sense OF
burning aud itching. In short, the unpleasant
condition of this lady cannot easily be ina
gned.
In the month Of October, 1921, she subject
ed herself to four general tumigatons, taken
in as many days. The immediate effect OF the
first was apparentlyto aggravate hercomplaint,
which, from the common effect OF heat, was To
be expected. The third application seemed
TO cheek the disorder completely. To tess 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-
eeved fourth tumigation, and has ever
since remained free from the disease. What
is most worthy OF remark in this case rs, The
great and sudden influence exerted upon the
parts not subjected TO the Immediate operation
OF the sulphurous gas.
Rheumatic affection Of The Head.
A surgeon, thirty two years OF aye, of a
good constitution, had suffered for five years,
pain with a sensation OF pressure, and prick
ling in the scalp, arising from sudden check
of the perspiration, from Il cold bath. Du-
ring the same period, the skin OF the
body was covered with liver coloured spots,
which caused an insupportabie itching These
pans of the head had incapaciated him
from doing any thing that reqsired at
tenton, he was therefore compelled to ia
bandon his professions, aud even botany,
his iavourile study. Five fumieations, taken
from the fourth To the eighth OF Dec, dsspa-
fed the pains, removed the uncasiness in the
scalp, and enabled bin TO return to his usual
occupations. A month after this treatment
the cuticle was renewed over the whole bo-
dy. Isaw the patient eight months afterwards;
he still enjoyed sound health vi mind and bo-
dy.
