Universal PARALYSIS
One of the patients OF the Hospital OF 81
1an;s. about forty-hve years of age, was at
,.,Ied in June, 1914, with a typhus fever,
,h., prevalent in the Hospital. The nervous
s,,mntoms in the case were OF the most urgent
.barnc,er and terminated in universal pal

tried. The patient took about forty inmiga-
.;'ns her health gradually improved, until il
vas nerfecty re -established she is now well,

A lady OF sangune temperament had been
-, eral months afflicted with singularly un-
ssI.,,;ant and obstinate roseous affection of the
&c and neck On ordinary occasions, very
,;,,le external appearance of disease was per
.aaa1itle, but upon the slightest excitement,
nh as mental agitation, exercise or warmth,
ha,,-e, err produced, high degree of flushing
ansned attended with an intolerable sense OF
nnrning and itching. In short, the unpleasant
oondit;on of this lady cannot easily be ina
gined ,o,, H. ,,.o.
or herself to four general tumigations, taken
in as many dae 5. The immediate effect OF the
first was anparet. tlyto aggravate her complaint,
which, from the { onnoi eHect OF hea'' was 10
he expected Th.' third application seemed
n check the ,,isorde.~ completely. To test the
sa6cacy of the reuedy, she now exposed her
self for several hours 10 The heat OF warm
FIRE. when no Inconvenience resulted. She re-
ceiyed fourth fumiga1ion, and has ever
since remained free from the disease. "hat
is most worthy of remark in this case IS, me
great aud sudden influence exerted upon .he
narts not subjected to the immediate operation
OF the sulpharous gas.

A surgeon, thirty two years OF age, OF a |
good constitution, had suffered for five years,
main with d sensation OF pressure, aud prick |
ling in the scalp, arising from sudden check
of the perspiration, from a cold bath. Du- |
ring the same period, the skin OF the
body was covered with liver eolcnred spots,
which caused an insupportable itching These |
mains of the head had incapacitated him |
from doing any thing that required at |
tentioH, he was therefore compelled 10 a.
bandou his profession, and even botany, |
his iayourite study Five fumgations, tHken |
from the fourth To the eighth OF Dec, dssfpa- |
ted the pains, removed the uneasiness in tire |
scalp, aud enabled him 10 return TO his usual
occupations. A month after this treatment
the cuiicle was renewed over the whole bo-
DIV, lsaw the patient eight months afterwards;
he still enjoyed sound health OF mind and DO

A man, forty three years of age, an inhabs
1ant Of one OF the ports of the Adriatio, ha
been afflicted for ten years with very extern
siue letter, surrounding the neck and should
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 coed, except slight chronic opthalmia,
attributed to the sea air. he recolleeted hav-
Ing been informed by his mother that she had
suffered during her youth from an herpetic e.
ruption lie had tried few remedies, among
others solution of mnrlatic acid, rabbes up
on the part, without success.
After the first hlmigaton, taken on the 22d
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 hav-
ing almost entirely ceased. An eruption, arr
sing from the fumigations, appeared upon the
right arm, so as to interrupt the treatment
but fourteen fumigations in ten days compile
ted the cure.
