A Case of Death Following Suspension.

A case OF Ocatn EOuOWlnS SUSPENSION
In the Lyon Medical, No. 20, we read of
the following case Of death following suspeD-
sion, reported by DR.. Gorecki. The patient
was a man, aged 49, who for five years previ-
ously had been suffering from tables, and
who, after reading of the excellent results
obtained by suspension, bought an apparatus
The disease had taken a very rapid course in
him, paraplegia being almost complete. He
was suspended two or three times daily by
his man servant The first seven suspensions
were followed by most marked Improvement,
and the patient was able to walk few steps
After the eighth suspension he suddenly lost
the power Of speech and hearing, his sight,
however, being unaltered and no paralysis
existing Although active treatment was im-
mediately Fesorted to, swallowing soon be-
came impossible, sight was lost, and general
paralysis quickly set in. The symptoms be-
came more and more aggravated, and in
twenty -four hours the patient was dead, the
immediate cause of death being asphyxia.-
