CURIOUS OPERATION.

CURIOUS OPERATION.
The operation Of TRANSMISSION, or blood
taken from a man and injected into
the veins of a woman, who was dying
of hemorrhage, was performed about
three weeks since, under the direction
of DR.. Blundell, Lecturer on Physiolo
gy and Midwifery at Guys Hospital.
a poor woman about IS years ofage,
was attended whilst in labor, by Mr..
Waller, Of Aldersgate-s,reet Nothing
particular occurred during the labour,
but after the birth of the child and ex'
puIsion of the placenta, the womb did
not properly contract, and during the
absence Of the medical attendant, food
ing occurred to an alarming extent.
When visited by MIR. Waller, the pa
tents pulse, at the wrist, was scarcely
perceptible, indeed, at times, it conld
not be felt; the lips and face were of a
pallid or death like hue, and in a word,
the taper of life was but family glim.
mering.
Under these circumstances, 1t occur
red to Mr.. Waller that the operation
of TRANSMISSION would be a measure to
rescue the patient from her perllous
situation.
Dr.. Blundell was sen, for, and upon
his arrival he found the patient had
somewhat rallied, in consequence OF
which he deemed it better to delay the
performance Of the operation, for as
DR.. Blundell observed 10 his pupils,
,his.operation is only justi6able in ex-
IRENE and otherwise desperate cases
After waiting an hour the patient be-
came worse; she yomited, and was ex-
ceedingly restless, which may always
be regarded as very bad symptom;
the pulse at the wrist was flutterlng,
and occasionally not to be felt, and there
was tina, peculiar expression OF coun-
tenance which can scarcely be desert
bed; il may be called death IN The
face" 1t did not appear proper to de-
Law the operation, which was therefore
commenced as follows;-The cephalic
vein Of the right arm was laid bare, to
the extent Of about an inch, and a
blunt pointed bent needle was passed
under the vein, at the lower par, oil the
opening, so as to prevent the afflux OF
blood. The husband of the patient, a
robust healthy Young man, was now
called in, anil two ounces ofblood were
taken, in a full stream, from his arm,

From q London Paper.


Many years ago, while l lived at
Yeovil, in Sommersetshire, my advice
was desired for poor mans child.
boy 8 or years Of age, one Of whose
legs was contracted mare than when a
person is sitting in chair. He could
not stretch it out nor move it; neither
could it be extended by any person,
without an injury to the part effected:
prescribed relaxing linimfnt, Of
which Curriers' oil was the chief IN
gredient, and ordered the part affected
to be gently rubbed with it; but 1t was
of no great service.
The probable consequence Of this
boys living without the use Of that
limb, very much moved my pity, and
while was considering what further
might be done for his relief, it came
into my mind that the glovers Of the
town brought lamb and kid skins
which were dry, stiff and hard to he
soft and supple as gloves, by rubbing
them with liquor made Of yolks OF
eggs and water.
ordered the contracted parts of his
leg to be gently rubbed two or three
times a day with the egg liquor, and.
by this means, he easily recovered the
perfect use Of his leg.
This egg liquor advise to be made
in the following manner, viz. Take the
yoIk of a new laid egg, let it be beaten
with spoon to the greatest thinness;
then by spoonful at time add 3 OF.
of pure water, agitating the mixture
continually, that the egg and water may
be well incorporated.
The liquor may be applied to the
parts contracted, cold, or only milk
warm, by gentle friction for few
minutes, three or four times day.
This remedy I have since advised in
like cases, and with the like happy
success; and others to whom | have
communicated it, have found the same
advantage from it in like cases.

LEGAL. IAKGON.

In an excellent article on Lo,c Plead
ings, in a late Westminster Reo'en, there
is detailed exposure ofthe talsehoods
absurdities, costly and mystifying civ
cumlocution, sc. regularly introduced
into all pleadings, to an extent that
would almost appear incredible to those
who have had the singular good for
tune to escape through lille a contact
with such fraudulent proceedings. In
the Declaration in an action Tor debt. IL
is the invariable custom to enumeia'e
all the various modes in which the de-
PENDANT might have got into the plain
tiff's debt besides the actual one; the
real amount of the debt is never stated,
but fictitious one, and indeed SO COM
plete is the exclusion from the Decia-
| ration of the real facts ofthe case, that
the LAWYERS themselves have been dri-
Ven to devise a supplementary paper
called BiHof Particulars, containing
| the statements upon which alone the
| action can be founded; and all OF which
| should be in the Declaration itself. In
an action of trouer-that is, an acuon
to recover property which defendan;
has wrongfully seized or converted 70

states what is in SO cases out OF 100

oLDEN TIMES.

OLDEN TIMES.
The following extracts, from an in
teresting historical work, recently
published in New Hampshire, by n.
Adams Esq will afford amusement to
the reader.-In the year l649, the Gov
ernor, Deputy Gov. and magistrates
formed an association for this purpose
Of preventing the wearing OF long hair,
and the following was one Of the arii-
cles " hich they signed.-Srlem Obser.
"Forasmuch, as the wearing OF long
hair, after the manner of ruffians and
barbarous Indians, has begun TO invade
New England, contrary to the rule OF
Gods word which says 1t is sham
for man to wear long hair, as also
the commendaole custom generally, OF
all the cody of our nation until these
few years: We the magistrates who
have subscribed this paper Tor the
showing II our own innocency in this
behalf do declare and manifest our
dislike and detestation against the
wearing OF sHch long hair, as against
thing unciyil and unmanly, whereby
men do dcform themselves, and offend
sober and modest men, and do corrupt
good manners. We do therefore earn
estly en,reat all the elders Of this Ju-
risdiction Gas often as they shall see
cause> to manifest their zeal against 1t,
in their public administrations, and to
take care tina, the members OF their re-
spective churches, be not detilcd there
with, That so, such as shall prove OBJ
stina,e, and will not reform themselves
may have God and man to witness
against them"

of the articles described: as for in
stance-if the action were Sought for
the value Of wagons, 10 horses, and
100 head Of cattle, the Declaration
would state, "For that whereas the
said plaintiff, being possessed of GER
tain cattle, goods, and chattles, to wit,
90 wagons, 90 carts, 90 carriages 100
horses; 100 mares, 100 geldings, 1000
bulls, 1000 cows, 1000 oxen, 1000
heifers, casually lost the said cattle,
goods, and cha,tels, and the said came
into the possession Of the said defen.
dant casually byfnding." In ejectment,
matters are still worse, the plaintiff
and defendant named in the Declare
ton being both fictitious persons. and
every allegation in it being who'll, false.
OF the kind of declaration in an action
for assault and battery, correct no
tion (says the able Reviewer) NAV be
obtained from the following lines by

bler.-.An opening Of about | 9Th Of an
inch was made in the vein Of the pa.
tient, and by means of syringe and
tube the blood distracted from the hus-
band was somewhat slowly thrown In,
towards the heart-No very obvious
effects were produced from this supply
Of vital fluid; and after pause Of one
or two minutes, two other ounces Of
blood were thrown in; soon after this
the pulse at the wrist intermitted, aad
there was slight restlesness, or rather
desire to change posture, hut these
symptoms passed away in the space Of
two or three minutes. In consequence
of the occurrence Of these symptoms,
it was deemed prudent to wait awhile;
and after lapse of FIVE or ten minutes
the patient was evidently rallying.
from this period the patient went
on improving and had not a single bad
symptom which could be attributable
to the operation; the functions 81 res
piralion, circulation, and of the ely
lopoetic vicera were duly performed;
the temperature Of the surface Of the
body was Of the natural standard, nei-
ther was there any subsequent atfec'
ton Of the sensorium, which DR.. Blum
dell has known to occur in some cases
after the operation Of TRANSMISSION
The syringe employed was OF brass,
| and well timed ON the inside; TO the
mouth Of the syringe pipe was fixed,
of about two inches in length, OF the
size of crows quill, shaped like pen
| at the end, but with blum, point.
Before the blood was thrown into the
vein Of the patient, all air was CAREFUL
" expelled from the syringe by pla-'
cling the mouth upwards and pushing
up the piston until the blood appeared
at the end Of the tube attached to the
syringe.
DR.. BlundelI observed, this case de-
monstrated, beyond all cavil, that the
blood Of man may DO injected, by
mt ans of syringe, into the veins Of a
woman exceedingly reduced from
hemorrhage, without causing death.
Whether the -syno ope which occurred
after the injection Of the blood was the
result Of the operation, or of the pre-
vious h9morrhage may be disputed;
and admitting the syncope to be the re-
suit oftranfusion, we should be no more
justified in rejecting the operation Oh
this account, than in refusing to en-
ploy the lancet III other cases, because
it occasionally produces syncoPe.
AS only four ounces Of blood were
injected, Dr.. Blundell admitted, that it
might fairly be questioned by some,
whether the supply of so small guam
ti,y OF blood really saved the patient.
The doctor, however, (and hehas seen
a great deal Of h9morrhage,) is deci-
dedly Of opinion, that this timely sup
ply of vital fluid turned the scale in the
patents favour, and rescued her from
death.
L This case was related by DR.. Blum
ideil in one of his lectures.

POETRY.
From the .Ahenaum.

HEAVEN
Weep, mourner, for the joys that fade,
Like evening lights, away
For hopes, that, like the stars decay'd,
Have left thy mortal clay;
Yet clouds of sorrow will depart,
And brilliant skies be giv'n,
And though on earth the tear may start,
Yet bliss awaits the molly heart
Amid the bowers Of heav'n;
Where songs of praise arc ever sung,
TO ansel-harp, to angel-tongue.
Weep, mourner, for the friends, that pas
Into the lonesome grave,
As breezes sweep the wither'd grass
Along the welming wave
Yet though thy pleasure may depart,
And darksomc days be giv'n,
And lonely though on earth thou art,
Yet bliss awaits the holy heart,
When friends rejoin in heav'n;
Where streams of joy glide ever on,
Around the Lords eternal throne.
