ss been st the moment go Impressed with the cour-
see Of Mr. Sumner in enduring the live fire without
the chlo,oform recommended BY DR.. Sequsrd as to
FORGET 10 mention the wise reason OF Its exercise 10
the case in hand. The whole statement is thls
DR.. Brown.Sfquard recommended the use OF
cbloroform, as it bad beea invariably used IN s'musf
instances coming within that prac.iced Physiolog'ts
previous expeiience on the sroond that Dir sum-
nsr's moral force would yield to the excess OF
physical psin. He was surprised at the refusal,
and asreeably disappointed at the result Mr.. 5.
did not yitld With him the mere matter Of SUI
ferinc was secondary. The purpose of the mo1a
was TO produce ounter-irrtstion-the more vio-
lent, within the limits Of human endurance, the
more effective; applied to nerTee siive and WIDE
awake with sensation, the 1--we fire must produce
more eject than On sco,hed, deadened nerves.
The unprotected system receives the full force Of
the shock and It's fall benefit on coLditon that it
csn bear it. Mr. Summers could, oy bis force OF
will, bear IT, The result is, that ths Are took
,deet more than il otherwise would have done.
Nr. Summers courage was, then, wisely cslcu-
lated patience, and no needless stoicsw.
On the whole there is ~ large room for hope in
bis case " when last wrote. 80 soon AZ he is
able to travel without too much pain Mr.. S. pur-
poses, with the assent Of his physician, to leave
Paris for shor. tour in France, going perhaps to
Ak. ID savoy, or some other place convenient for
bathing and for Whatever water treatment may b,
conducive to his final cure. II WI crafty hi,
friends TO know that DR.. Hayward ot Boston, on
recert visit 10 London, took occasion to lay his
case before SIR Benamin Bfode ana Others, the
most eminent medical authorities OF that capital,
all of whom were egreed as " the necessity Of al
active treatment and IN approval Of the curse that
bas been pursued BY Dr. Sequard.
