81 V.4GE SURGERY.

The London Globe says: 'Barbarous nations
seem to delight in surgical operations of IA
painful nature. They probably estimate the
benefits to be derived from an operation by
the pain accompanying it, just as the tradi-
tonal pumpkin thought halfa crown too much
to pay to "a dentist for having tooth easily
extracted, when the barber at home would
have pulled him all around the room for Cd
The application of moxa, referred to in IN ac-
count Of the last days Of Mr.. Sumner. is an
instance of this. 1t consists in covering the
skin of the patient with light vegetable down,
which is then set on fire. This agreeable pro-
cess is an invention of the North American In
dams, who seem to have regarded il as Il sort
OF panacea. DR. Brown-Sequard tells us that
it is, perhaps, the most painful of surgical
operations. A correspondent of the Medical
Times states that in some OF the South Sea
Islands method of surgical treatment is
adopted in certain cases, which, we should
fancy, would bear away the palm as a tor
turing process even from the dreaded
moxa. The wise men in these islands
have invented theory that headache neural
gia, vertigo, and other affections OF the head
arise from crack III the skull, or from pres
sure of the skull on the brain. The delightful
remedy which they have ccntrived consists n
laying open the scalp by T-shaped incsion,
and then gently scraping away the Uranium
itself with piece Of glass until the d,au mater
is reached, and hole is made in the skull
as large as a crown piece. Of course if the
operation is carried little too far the patient
dies; and this appears to be the mode in which
most Of the cures are effected, death being the
result in about half the eases operated upon.
The hole is usually covered with piece of
cocoanut shell scraped thin and polished, and
placed under the scalp. Formerly the in
strument employed was a sharks tooth. but
broken glass is found to act better. Bone

Marriage isn't good for fits. We recorded
8 few days ago an instance in point A Brook
| Ign merchant, Mr.. Henry A. Orington, had 6
! daughter. Her name was Martha Jane. She
! had been a close student at school, and had
caught fits in consequence. If she had
caught fits from her pa or her teacher in
season, she might never have caught them
from epilepsy. But she did, and every remedy
known to the medical fraternity was applied
in vain. Not until everything else had been
| tried on the girl, not until all other nostrums
had been exhaustingly, sampled to no purpose,
did Mr. Orington, in despair, conclude to try
marriage. The daughter also showed an equal
appreciation of the nuptial knot, by consent
ing to be married only as a choice between
matrimony and death. This was before in
sanity or imbecility had really taken pos
session of Martha Jane A young man
was found who didn't object to fits. and who
didn't object to Martha Jane. He was evil
IDENTIFY peculiar young man. 1t doesn't ap-
pear whether he was more attracted by the
fits, which doubtless lent certain pic
turesqueness to his beloved, or by Martha
Jane per Sc But, at all events, he consented
to be included among the materia medica al
legged to be curative in cases of epilepsy.
Geo. w. C. Speier was applied as kind Of
leech in the family. George and Martha Jane
were married four years ago, but George didn't
turn out to be good for epilepsy. Martha
Jane grew worse and worse. Sixteen doctors
united in prescribing marriage for those fits,
though it does not appear that they all united
in prescribing George. Now, Mr.. Onngton,
Georges father-in-law. applies for
divorce for his daughter, on the ground
that she wasn't TT to be married
when matrimony was ordered by a
council of physicians. If all women
should be divorced who, when married, were
not fit to be married, what breaking up OF
families there would be! But it is alleged by
Mr.. Orington that every lit his daughter had
was an epileptic fit, and not one fit to be mar
ried. We are not advised as to the result OF
this divorce suit, but the petition will prob
ably be granted. The Compounds and the
Restorers, and the Sure Cures. and the Patent
Renovators and George w. c. Speier are all
to be discarded, thrown away as worthless
nostrums, Of no account for fits. Now that it
is settled that George isn't good for epilepsy
it will be difficult to make him believe that he
is good for anything This first failure in life
may be fatal to his prospects. Having failed
as patent medicine after four years trial, it
is doubtful if George will succeed as anything
AS his position in the Orington family prob
ably never rose above that of a patent medi-
cine bottle, George is to be commiserated -

PECULIAR COURT E1TQTE7TTE

The rulers of Morocco have no divan OF
midjelis, and the court etiquette is extremely
strict. Only some persons are allowed to be
seated viz, the princes, governors OF the
provinces, and influential Schurfa, whilst COM
mon mortals must either kneel or squat in the
presence Of the Sultan. Petitioners who have
obtained an audience must prefer their
requests from distance in a kneeling po-
sition, after first kissing the ground. In
order that the Sultan may never be re-
minded of delth, the word "dead -
must not be mentioned in his presence
To get over this difficulty it is the CUSTOM
if any one wishes to indicate the decease
of a person. to say he has fulfilled his destiny
Likewise, the number Five" must never be
spoken in the Sultans hearing the speaker
must say ''four and one" or '.three and two -
This strange custom is thus explained Five

the hand is the symbol of despotic power In
Mohammedan countries one frequently sees

this is supposed to act as charm against vio-
lence, and as a pr lection to property The
dwelling is hereby placed under the in
visible power of a strong hand If any
one wishes to speak of Jew in the
presence Ct the Sultan. he must first OF
all ask ''haschak" or pardon, the Jews being
considered unclean. No one is allowed to
appear before the Sultan with his slippers on,
though the chief officers of State are permitted
to wear their small leathern boots. There are
no decorations in Morocco, though in the
year 1868 it was proposed to found an order,
that of Sultan Solomon (the Jewish king,

King Theodore Of Abyssnia had made. The
greatest distinction the Sultan shows any one
is when he takes off his burnons or cloak and
