M. Liebreich has written to the French Aca-
denny about new an@sthetic dscov cred by
himself. He calls il chloral. It is to be ad-
minister ed by absorption rather than inhala

gether; and there is something significant in
the very appearance OF this little sheet, with
its small engraviugs at ehead Of the articles,
showing man vigorously beating the rappel.
