One OF the patients of the Hospital Of st
Louis, about fony-Gve yeSs Of age, was at
tucked in June, 1914, with a typhus lever
then prevalent in the Hospital. The nervous
symptoms in the case were of the most urgent
character, aud terminated in a universal pal
sy lor which the sulphur fumigations were
tried. The patient took about forty fnmign-
lions her health gradually improved, until il
was perfectly re-established she is now well,
and is one OF the laundresses OF the Hospital
RoseOius affection Of The Fare
A lady Of a sanguine temperament had been
several months afflicted with singnldrly I'M
pleasant and obstinate roseolus affection of the
face aud neck. On ordinary occasions, very
little external appearance OF disease was per
eeptible, but upon the slightest excitement,
such rs mental agitation, exercise or warmth
howcy er prsdneed, a high degree of flushing
ensucd, attended with IN intolerabIe sense oil
burning aud itching In short, the unpleasant
condition of this lady cannot easily be INN
sincd.
In the month of October, 1871. she subject
ed herself 10 four general iumigHtons, taken
ia A. many days. The immediate effect OF the
first was apparently 10 asaravnlc hcrcomplaint,
which, from the common effect of lent was 10
be expected The third application seemed
10 check The disorder completely. 10 test the
efficacy of the remcdv, she now exposed her
sell Tor several hours 10 the heat OF n warm
IRE, when no Inconvenience resulted. She re-
eeved fourth iumigatiDn, and has ever
since remained free from the disease. What
IS most worthy of remark in this case is, the
great and sudden influences excrted upon the
Partsnot subjected 10 the immediate operation
OF tho sulphurous gas.
Rheumatic .iGection ofbe Head,
A surgeon, thirty two years of sge. Of
GOOD constitution, had suffered for five yenrs
pain, with sensation OF pressure, and prick
ling in the scalp arising from Il sudden check
OF the perspration, from a cold bath. Du-
ring the same period, the skin of the
body was covered with liver coloured spots
which caused an insupportabIe itching These
pains OF the head had incapactated him
rom doing any thing that required at
tention, he was therefore compelled to a
handon his profession. and even botany,
hi, iavouriie study. Five lunigations, taken
from the fourth To the eighth Of Dee, dissipa-
ted the pains, removed the uneasiness in the
scalp, and enabled bin to return to his usual
occupations. A month after this treatment

After the first fdmigation, taken on The odd

After the seventh application, the improve
