THE ELECTRIC BATH.
A few years ago tho French physi.
clans, so noted for their progressive
characteristics in medical experiments,
began n series of tests Of electricity as
an agent for the removal of any foreign
metal from the body and claim that
mercury and other metallic substances
were thus successfully removed, and all
the injurious effects thereof thoroughly
eadicated from the system. Medical
practitioners in other countries have
always differed with tie French prac-
titioners as tosuch success, and Althaus,
renowned London physician, declares
that such a removal is impossible BY
this time, after the lapse Of years, the
newly-deyeloped nitrate of silver rem

and this practitioner declared that he
could never be convinced of the posi-
bility of the success of electricity over
metal in the human form, until case
had been shown wherein the silver was
removed, and the inevitable discolora-
ton of the skin corrected Such a
