AN AMERICAN SURGICAL INVENTION GAIN
ING FAVOR IN EuRoPE.--The method, of
operating, says Paris letter, upon visieo-
vaginal and recto-vaginal fistulaS, invented
by DR.. Sims, modified by DR.. Bozeman, of
Alabama, and introduced into France by the
latter. is gradually working its way into
favor here. Although several of the most
scientific Paris surgeons were shown this
operation by DR.. Bozeman, none of them
have been able, thus far, to arrive at the
dexterity or the perfection in the operation
displayed by that surgeon. Nevertheless,
its advantages over all other operations are
admitted by nearly all the principal sur
geons, and it is destined to general adoption.
Several brochures and theses have been pub
lished during the year on the subject in all
of which the operation is entitled "the
American operation for vaginal fstulas
In the report which DR.. Bozeman drew up
for the French Surgeons, during his stay
here last year, he acknowledged fully the
claims Of bis predecessors among American
surgeons, especially those of Drs. Hayward,
of Boston, and Sims, of New York.

THE WEALTHY PHYSICIANS OF PARIS. -
The practice of NJ. Ricord, the distinguished
surgeon Of the Hospital du Midi (hospital for
veneIeal disorders) at Paris, is now the
largest in France--perhaps in the world; it
is worth 100000 francs ($60,OOo) per year,
and he wears decorations from every prinoi-
pal monarch in Europe. After NJ. Ricord,
the largest practice is that of M. Nelaton,
surgeon, which reaches beyond zoo, ,000francs
n. Nelaton, who was rich by birth and by
marriage, aims 10 be the richest surgeon in
the world. After M. Nclaton, come nearly
in the same rank, Messrs. Trousseau, Rayer,
Andral and Velpeau. ...' ~

DRUEKENNEss THE CAUSE OF EPILEPSY AND

seems, has had special occasion for making
the necessary observations, has lately COM
municated most important paper to the
Academy on drunkenness. According to
his observations, running over a space OF
twelve years--and be reports no case in
which he has not had the formal and alb

much larger proportion than others to epil-
epsy and idiocy.

proportioD) were absolutely conceived under
this condition, while he reports several cases
of idioey, congenital paralysis and Other
forms Of cerebral disease, which he traces to
the same origin. DR.. Demeaux demands Of
the profession that attention should be turned

Epilepsy md Genius.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times observes:

AhS hllo correspondent VI tuo N0M AOAh
Times observes:
On this subject Of epilepsy, an interesting
question has lately been presented to the
profession by physician who was asked to
give an official opinion as to the pTopriety of
the marriage of beautiful but poor young
girl with certain Count who is rich, but
who is epileptic to the point of occasional
mental arrangement. The question, as ap-
piled to simple epilepsy, would be difficult
one, but as applied to epilepsy complicated
with arrangement Of the mental functions,
it would seem impossible that an affirmative
answer could be given. .....
Every epileptic is not a maniac; but it is
well known that in a large number of indi-
viduals afflicted with the malady which
CELSIUS calls m0Tbus SaceT, the harmony of the
moral sentiments is interrupted, the charac-
ter of the affections is perverted, aud the
order of the sensations troubled. Absolute
lunacy is to be feared at any moment in
thosewho have not arrived at this degree of
the disorder, and it so happens that marriage
is exactly one of the things most conducive
to this accident. Many distinguished men,
however, have been epileptio--some of them
even have made an abuse of life-without
however, arriving at the degree of lunacy.
According TO Plutarch, Julius Caesar was
epileptic, and had his first attack at Cor
duene. Petrarch died suddenly in fit of
epilepsy. Newton, who was subject to ver-
tigo, died in senile imbecility. Mahomet,
according to certain French writers on
mental disorders, was epileptic; the three
sons he had by Khadydjah died very young.
Peter the Great OF Russia had falling fits;
his son by Catharine was epileptic and one
of his grand-sons, Paul |, had hallucinations.
Napoleon was subject to slight epileptic
accidents, especially during venereal in
dulgences; and Moliere also had fits which
some times were followed by fortnight of
incapacity to work. ...

SUGAR AS A DIssIPAToR OF DRUNKENNESS
DR.. LeC9ur, Of Paris, in an article on dunk
enness, after showing the good effects of
ammonia in dissipating the fumes Of alcohol,
states that white sugar will produce the same
effect. When the individual commences TO
feel the influence of liquor he should eat six,
eight or more pieces of sugar, of the size
usually served on the table. DR.. Lacour,

however, fix upon any one as positive in his
own opinion. h

ExTERHIEATIEe' THE' BLACK WEEvIL-
The black weevil is an insect which attacks
and destroys wheat in granaries. Most per-
sons apply the name Of weevil to the wheat
nudge which attacks the grain the field
bat this is mistake. The weevil may get
among . bin of wheat and destroy the most
Of it before their ravages are noticed, because
they penetrate through the hull Of the grain
by very minute holes, and eat out the whole
interior of the kernel, leaving the outside as
perfect in appearance as it had been before.
Their ravages are carried on without cessa-
tion, SO that, when they get among bin of
stored wheat, they usually destroy large
quantity oft. Any sure and safe plan for
destroying them, or for preventing their at
lacks, would be of great benefit. In late
number of the Country Gentleman, CORE
spoudent gives the following experience re-
specting these insects:
81 built grsnary, 1 think in August,
1857. and made some strong salt brine, with
which wet the sides and bottom of the
granary, and sprinkled some among the
wheat; and never, to my recollection, have
] seen black weevil in my granary. think
it m excellent plan for farmers to salt their
wheat in the straw as they haul it to stack or
barn, so that the salt will strike through the
wheat aud straw, and the cattle will eat the
straw more readily"
