| TREATMENT OF PARALYSIS AND APO
PHExY.EThe treatment of Paralysis
and apoplexy by the application of ice
to the spine has yielded some very re-
markable results, which are detailed
in the Medical Times and Gazette
In one case the patient, a gentleman,
had been seized with paralysis on the
I'd of December, became rapidly
worse, and when DR.. Chapman first
saw him, on the 4th of December, he
was in a profound stupor, could not
be aroused, and the right arm gave
no signs of sensibility, the head was
hot, the eyes closed and the face
drawn. The hot water bag was first
applied to the upper spine to reduce
the temperature of the head, and at
forwards the ice to the "dorsal and
lumber region" On the 5th of Deem
Der signs of consciousness returned,
and the face became more symmetri-
cal; on the 10Th he could read the
Times and dress and uudress himself;
and on the 30th Of January the pa
tient thought himself quite we'll. The
other case Of apoplexy Tin the worst
form) was still more remarkable. The
patient, a full bodied woman, had
stroke on the 18th of March and was
so near to death that the local sur
geon said she was dying, and on the
18th OF March sent woman to Law
her out. She had laid in this state
absolutely unconscious for forty-eight
hours before DR.. Chapman saw her,
and the ice treatment was begun
Her recovery has been slow, but the
account of the case 10 the last Medi-
cal Times and Gazette reports steady
Improvement, recovered consciousness
and appetite and all other signs of
convalescence. The method now seem s
to be admitted by very high authori-
ties as one of the greatest powers in
many nervous disorders.

A LARGE GRAPE VINE.-Mr. Stew
art, of Oxford, G. w., has Clinton
vine 70 feet long-that is, 80 feet
each way from the root, running over
an eight foot picket fence, which hung
this year with a mass of grapes from
end to end.a9 He entirely ignores our
idea of cutting grape vines back to
five or six feet, arguing that the lead
ers should not be cut at all. The
vine referred to is in his garden, and
has had all necessary care; and tho
the grapes had been somewhat injured
by hail, both in Lunch and berry, they
would compare favorably with the
Clintons | have elsewhere seen. lido
not see why this should not be the
best way of growing, especially for
wine making.-Country Gentleman.

a trip of our local to tho city has, enabled
him to gnthcr few items, which may be inter
esting to our readers ~s
And first, he was glad to find the money mar

cent per annum.
Secondly, the political horizon was as gloomy
rs ever. The great ring streakcd was in full
blast, and the Constitution of their framing is
about to be submitted to the vote Of the pco-
pie, so-collal,at on carly day. Our local had
the opportunity Of being spectator Of their
proceedings on Saturday last, and was hardly
prepared to sc> mon of Caucasian blood resting
their elbows on the shoulders of coal.black
darkcys, in the most familiar style, while dis
icussing the merits Of pet schemes, or pulling
party wires. But he has seen; and from cx-
pericncc speaks.
While in the city, he was the guest Of that
favorite resort of travellers, Pavilion
Hotel, where he enjoycd all the comforts,
Which the ample accommodations, the tables
loaded with the best the market can afford.
and the attention of polite domcstics, all under
the most systematic and accomplished manage
mcnt, could afford.
