tions in surgery at the State Hospital on Satur-
day, with the nitrous oxide gas as the an@sthetc
agent. The first was the amputation of the thigh.
The patient-a male adult-was put into the
an@sthetic sleep in one minute and sixteen
seconds. DR.. Carnochan performed the amputa-
ton in thirty seconds and in thirty.two seconds
more the patient awoke to consciousness without
nausea or the least unpleasant symptoms. He
stated that he had felt no pain during the opora-
ton. The second operation a male adult
was the amputation of the leg. The time in
producing sleep was ffty-fve seconds. The time
of the operation was one minute and forty-fve
seconds. The time in recovering consciousness
was twenty seconds. There was no nausea or
sickness. A large number of surgeons and
students were present, who expressed surprise
and delight at the bright appearance of the
patients after recovering from the effects of the
gas. 1t seemed to be the universal opinion that
The gas would supersede all other anesthetcs

South America.
PARAGUAY.

PARAGUAY.
The Paraguayan army, which 1t was at one
time supposed would cease their retrograde
movement, and make good stand or even ad-
vance again on the city of Corrientes has def
nitely evacuated the province Of that nation and
retired into their own territory. This gives the
allies the advantage OF better base OF opera
tions, especially in connection with the Bra
lillian fleet; but the reliance upon the efficacy of
the latter is not very great, and further the diff
fficulties OF attacking the Paraguayans have
been enormously increased.
They are now concentrated, offering a very
respectable front to their enemies, and are we'll
defended by the natural confguration of their
country as well as by numerous works in advan-
tageous positions. Besides all this, the heat and
the unheathinesS OF the swamps begin to tell
upon the allied armies, and iU is, therefore, DOT
to be wondered at that some newspapers on the
other side OF the Andes talk of deferring the re-
newal of hostllltes, and even of friendly settle.

The blockading vessels on the Chilian coast
remained at their respective stations December
9. The Nundncid iron-clad, had arrived at
Calderas on her way down to Valparaiso; while
the Viud de Madrid was, at last accounts, an
chored in the harbor of Coquimbo, after a cruise
between Valparaiso and the latter port, evidently
on the look out for the ESmerdtdd.
The latter vessel, together with the captured
COUddongd, have again entirely disappeared.
While some suppose that they have left for Mon
tevideo, others are of opinion that they have
sailed northward, in order to Join the Peruvian
squadron which was to assemble in one of the
southerly ports of Peru. The Ap1uinlac and
Anldzonds were in Iquique and the Union and
america had left the Chinchas for the same port.
What makes this supposition more probable is,
that the Linend, On her down trip, saw two
vessels, apparently men.of-war, steaming north

Professor CarsweIl obseryes:-

Professor COrswell observes;-.
Pathological anatomy has perhaps never
afforded more conclusive evidence in proof of
the durability of disease than it has in that of
tetbercuIor consumption. (Cyc, Prac. Med.) And
Laennec declares that the cure of consumption,
where the lungs are not completely disOrgdnized,
ought not TO be looked upon as at all impossible,
in reference either to the nature of the disease
of the organ affected. The destruction
of part of the substance of the lungs is by no
means necessarily mortal" page 23s.)
Then let us hear no more of the incurdbiHty of
this disease, but let all good men unite to en-
courage and stimulate to increased exertion
those who are zealously laboring in the great
cause of science and humanity.
