U The cases of softening of the brain,
when have OF late years become so fire.
quent, render that disease one of impor-
tant and interesting medical study. DR..
Albers, a European physician of cele-
brity, states that he has dissected the
brains of several persons who had for
many Years undergone great mental la
Dor, and that in all these he found the
cerebral substance unusually firm, the
gray substance as well as the conyolu-
lions being remarkably developed. In
several of these instances, settled mel
ancholy had taken possession of the mind
during the later period of life. He be-.
heves, therefore, that to produce soften
cd condition, some additional influence
beyond mere over-exertien is required.

A SINGULAR CURE.-A recent number
of the Concordia Intelligencer contains
the following account of a case of sup
posed consumption, and it's singular cure;
About four years ago young man in
Maine was attacked with a cough, and
applied to the most skillful of the medi.
cal profession in his vicinity. But relief
came not. The symptoms werepronounced
sure indications of consumption. He
wasted away gradually, losing strength
and energy and his physicians told him
ne must die, as the consumption. which
was wasting him away, could not he
cured or even checked. He went to Gin
cinnati to avail himself of the great skill
and advice of the eminent physicians of
that city. There he met no encourage
ment, but on the contrary, was told his
case was hopeless-that one lobe of his
lungs were already gone. AS death was
approaching the love of life became stron-
ger, and he resolved to come South, seek
ing some principle of life from our gener-
Gus climate. He has been soiourning
for a few months, at the hospitable man
sion of one of our eminent citizens, and
has visited the sugar plantation, inhaling
the saccharine vapors as restorative to
his wasting lungs but without relief.
But in an hour of dependency, when
death was looked upon as welcome mes
senger, relief came. About a week ago,
IN one of his violent and distressing fits
of coughing, he threw up a cuckle bur.
Since the bur has been elected, he says
he feels like new man; and as he fire.
queHtly calls on us, we perceive a very
marked change and almost perceptible
daily improvement.
The young gentleman, We hope, will
be soon restored entirely to health and
usefulness. The cough, which has been
for two or three years very annoying and
occasionally violent, has almost entirely
disappeared, appetite is returning, and
desire for exercise and active life mani
tests itself. He swallowed the bur, acct.
dentally, about four years ago, but his
physicians laughed to scorn the idea of
the bur remaining in the throat, although
the patient strived to convince them that
the cough was caused by the Judgment
Of the bur, and not from diseased lungs.
