GETHER WITH AN ESSAY ON ERYTHRoXY-
LON COCA. BY w. s. sEARLE, A. NJ, M. D. New
J. J. Chapman.
A great deal ofwhat is contained in this
volume was delivered in lectures before the Med
leo. Chirurgicl Society OF New York about two
years ago. Or. searle was chiefly criticized be-
cause OF his assertion that he had discovered a
new disease, but so confident was he Of the cor
rectness Of HIS opinion that he determined to
bring his thesis 10 the notice Of the celebrated Pro-
fessor Charcot, Of Paris. That eminent physician
states that he perceivesa new aficction-one which
he has neither met with in his reading nor in his
practice. The work will be OF exceeding interest
TO medical men, and also TO all who, from the
character Of their labor, begin to feel the effects
of overtaxing their nervous system. The essay on
Coca gives a complete and accurate account OF
thatpant, itschemcal analysis, and Its physiolqsi-
cal effects.

UP TO THE HOUR or THIS WRITING the
tendency of all reports from the bedside of
our wounded President had been steadily
favorable. OF course, the einaciated and
cnfeeblcd condition of the patient tends to
give extraordinary significance to all SYM
toms, whether for the better or the worse I;
but the signs of improvement during the
last thirty hours would have been extraor-
binary even in case much less desperate
than the Presidents seemed to be on Satur-
day A gentleman who has access to the
siclz.room, informed us this morn
ing that, familiar as he was with
the effect of gunshot wounds, and wide as
was his experience in their treatment, he
had never witnessed rally equal to that
of the President since midnight Saturday.
II see," he continued "that in your extra
of yesterday you say, speaking of this Won
dcrful rally that there is apparently no
pathological reason for it. and intimate
your belief that there may be something
miraculous about it. Now, of course there
must be pathological reason for
every development, one way or the other,
in any case of illness or injury But in
this case l grant you tho reason is not
easily apparent. II WILL however, GER
tainly be discovered rs the case progresses.
Just now the disposition of the surgeons
seems to be to attribute the sudden gain OF
vital energy, upon which all subsequent
symptoms of improvement have been based,
to supreme effort of will on the part OF
the patient himself, and probably this is as
near a correct diagnosis as ever will be
reached.
To be sure, the danger point is by nc
means passed, because the margin of re-
source upon which the resolute patient may
draw for physical strength to carry out the
mandates of his determined spirit is mar
row. Even as we write, tidings come o
signs of fiuctuation slightly in the othe
direction but relatively not to an alarming
extent. The chances are that the progress
of the case, even in the event of general!
steady improvement, will be marked by oc
) casional apparent sinkings. iHr'
The President is battling with as for
midablc an array of injuries and compli
cations as ever human being made hea'
against, and the balance of forces is so evcl
that the struggle cannot but be uncertain
t and fluctuating. But we draw all chez
Y from the reflection Of an esteemed icontem
u temporary this morning to the effect that
man capable of sAch a rally as the Presiden
d has made from such depth was not Dor
q to die in such fashion! We hope an
:, believe that this comforting assurance
true. 3f ~ pn !f f

few lines with anxious care, vending Their
