cal Reporter has an article on the action OF
Whey Baths, either pure or in state OF mix
lure with sulphuretied wafer. Ii is translated
from the French Of DIR. Niepce, who relates
several successful cases. A number OF pa
tients came to him for. various diseases OF the
heart, and he observed that most of them, when
immersed in the bath, had their pulses reduced
in remarkable manner. he has collected
data from 2i7 invalids, who made use OF the
whey baths at his residence, IN Ailevard,
France, during 1891. In e9 cases the pull
sations were reduced To "a, 10 SO cases 10 80,
in 81 cases TO AZ, in "a cases TO As. It's 10 the
tactic acid OF the whey that he attributes the
moderation ia the circulation. The most nu-
merous cases of disease fthe heart were nef-
yous paIpiiations. Here, then, in our country
places, there il an opportunity OF ia00rng 10
