swallow either fluids or solids was very
marked. 1t was absolutely impossible
for him 10 swallow water or ice, and

stance was thrown from the mouth with
violence. The flow OF saliva was
marked, and the constant spssms in-
dicated deep-sested disease OF the nerve
ceuters. DR.. Hammond admitted
that while the disease might be blood
poison and changes in the organs OF
life might have heen caused by sssimil-
alton OF that poison, yet It WAS more
than possible it WAS true nervous dis
ease like teL1ntuS, Of which no treatment

ticated csse,Yet the application OF q GAL
vsuic current be had in the only case
