Place the patient in cool and airy situation
with his head and shoulders elevated; while
some one is removing his cravat. unbunon'
ing his shirt collar, and removing or loosen
ing whatever else that may be tight about
his person, dash suddenly cold water on The

ANOTHER WONDERFUL lNvENTIoN.-The
NJ emphis Enquirer Of the 1st inst, contains
communication from Or. Laud, who says,
"his claim to the invention Of the Atmos'

Richardson or Seiber;" yet Richardson has
procured patent, which goes far 10 sustain
him, short of proWacted lawsuit and Sci
ber's dclion in reference 10 the matter, is
somewhat pneumatic. DR.. Laud also states
that he is engaged in arranging Systematic
Theorem, and in drafting sketch of line
of communication, by which the sound OF
words may be delivered in remote cities, in
less time than it would take 10 write them.
He calls it Verbal Telegraph, and says the
day is no, far distant when the editor OF the
Enquirer can sit in his sanc,um at Memphis
and utter words of which the sound thereof
can be delivered at New Orleans in less
time than he can write dozen words. This
