MAsrIcATIoS BY MECHANICAL MEAss-A rare in
stance Of perfect recovery from desperate wound
recently brought under the notice of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, by Mr. Larrey, who at the same
time presented to that body American Mr. Preterre
to whose mechanical skill the attainment of the full re-
suit was due At the battle of Magenta sergeant Of
the S5th of the line struck by "a musket ball,
which after completely SCATTERING the lower jaw came
out behind from under the SKULL close to the cervical
yertebra, which had they been injured would have
rendered the case hopeless 1t is hardly credible that
80 extt nsve an injury, inflicted in important re-
gion of the human frame could have admitted of cure;
and it reflects high credit on the army surgeons who
attended him. To restore the power of mascatiou by
mecanical means, Mr.. Preerre was called in and sue
cteded in the accomplishment Of his task by an in
geDious continuance, which has been greatly admired
by the fret surgeons Of Paris.

IMPORTANT PSYCHOLOGICAL FAcr.-M. BIandlet Of
France has called attention a very curious toxico-
logical fact, namely, thar greasy matters have the
power of diminishing siderably the solubty of
senious acid either in pure in acid and aka
line liquids. Thus, in with grease the poison
Gus properties of arsenous acid are very much de-
creased and at the same time il becomes more diff
cult to render its presence evident by chemical reac-
tons. very slight quantity Of greasy matter accord
ing to NJ blandets experiments reduces the soubilty
of arsenous acid to oueffteenh or one-twentieth of
what it is when il is in pure state
This explains why arsenic, taken in the form of
powder, remains sometimes for considerable interval
in the body without producing injury il explains also
how it is that, in Of poisoning by arsenic this
substance has not readily been detected ia such por-
tons of the body the ailments which contain much
grease. 1t seems to teach, also, that cream for in
stance is an excellent antldote for arsenious acid Mar
gaeDi states, in his writings that in his time, tho
Italian boatmen used to astonsh the bystanders by
swallowing, without hurt large pinches Of arsenous
acid having taken the precauon beforehand of drink
ing quantity of milk, eating some greasy matter
As soon as the public bad retired the boatmen got rid
of the poison by vomiting.
