Lock.Jaw Cured.

: The following remarkable case Of the cure
of lock Jaw is related by the Italian Medical
Gazette Of Milan. A hais dresser Of that city
accidently received cut with scythe on the
palm Of his left hand, near the wrist. This
occurred about the beginning Of March, 1851 |:
the wonnd healed 10 six days, and it was not
until the 30tb 'ollowi' that, on rising from
his bed, he felt some difficulty ip opening his
mouth, beside contraction in his left hand,
which he could not stretch out, and pains in
the ri hit hip and thigh. During the frst
DAYS, these phenomena disappeared on going
to bed, but commenced again As soon ss be
rose and exposed himself to the air. On tha
10th Of April, the symptoms becoming more
intense. he was taken TO the hospital. On
the following day spasmodic contraction of
the lower jaw, and rigidity in those Of the
neck were observed; the left hand experienced
a contraction every time it was taken from
under the bel cloths, and the raip on the
right side continued the pulse was very slight
ly agitated. Sixteen ounces Of chloride Of
barytes, dissolved in pound Of datlIed water,
were prescribed, to be taken In the course Of
twenty four hours. This treatment va, con-
tinued until the 2lst, when the symptoms of
lock Jaw having nearly entirely disappeared
the dose was reduced TO eight grains ! day,
and the remedy entirely left of on the 26th;
two days later the patient left the hospital 10

The Tunes eiit,rially says: The te'egrams
by the Persia, ie they come substantially from
the Northern Government, do credit 10 its
veracily. as they proclaim that any decisive
advantage over The Confederate must I've post
poned until great sldition, are made to the
Federal army. Cos
The latest dates arc to June 18Th, which
may be considered the beginning Of summer
heat. Although the probability is that both
armies will keep the field, yet there can be
but little doubt that che spirit of the campaign
will langgish until Fall, when cold weathe'
and reinforcen ents on both oides will allow
the struggle to be renewel. The last news
represents what may be looked upon as the
closing scenes Of the spring campaign.
Though the Federals have so many more
men, and such vast army and the greatest
resources. they invariably describe themselves
as outnumbered by the Confederates. Hal
leck and Mcclellan utter the same complaint.
The Times add: Thcs superior numbers
and resources Of the North we look upon IN
the end rs certain 10 prevail, but who can see
the resolution evinced by The South, tho i'm
mense army it puts in the field, and the ten
ancy with which il disputes every position,
WHICH feeling that the war is Likely to drepch
the territory of the Union with much more
blood. 1t winds up by hoping some means
may be devised for bringing this unnatural
conflict TO a close.
The Morning Herald contends that a res'o'
ratl of the Union would be calmity, no'
only for Europe and England 10 particular
but for The North. 1t declares that the un
ion bad become nuisance among the natl' >
Secession is favorable in England. Deep IN
terests woulI have justified ,nIsIfesence before
this, had not internal morality Erbid it,
Even now, Il there was any hope Of tho early
settlement, no one would dream Of interfering
As matters elsnd, boweser, the Herald think
il time that some decided step be taken BY
France and England, IN behalf Of justice and
humanity, a well ss for The protection o.
their half ruined manufactures and hungry
operatives. Such sc'ion must be taken s
lAs', ss impossible things cannot long be al
lowed.
