Mr.. Raphael Beltran, weil-kpown
commission merchant, Of New Orleans,
has been suffering for some time from
an affection in the region of the heart,
and has undergone the most terrible
treatment in order to obtain relief, an
idea of which may be formed from the
following description in the Sugar
Bowl and Farm-J Journal:
Unable to relieve him otherwise. his
medical attendant suggested the hot
iron treatment His bosom was barred,
long iron brought to white heat, and
with it about 40 gashes were burned al
most to the bone. Mr.. Beltran under
went all this without chlorOform, and
yet obtained no relief. OF course, he
was long recovering from such treat
ment, but when sufficiently healed to
enable another experiment, he submit
ted to pricking instrument, SO arranged
that perhaps hundred needless, ID a
cluster, would penetrate the flesh sim
nltaneously. Such heroism and endur-
ance deserved a better reward, but I'M
fortunately he has obtained no relief
whatever from his tormenting pains.
