A COURSE OF HANGING
Proves Very Beneficial in Efecting Care
of Spinal Troubles.

oil spinal Troubles.
BOSTON, August 24.-Police Lieutenant
William B. Daley, of this city, is under
going a rigorous treatment to get cured OF a
spinal trouble caused by a fall from a horse
car in 1887. 1t is nothing more or less than
a systematic course of hanging. He is sus-
pended by the back until he is almost un-
conscious, this process being the only way
in which the spinal cord can be properly
strengthened. The machine is shaped very
much like gallows. 1t consists OF an iron
rod, with eyes in the center and hooks at
each end, in which are loops that pass down
under each shoulder to take the strain off
the patients neck. Along the horizontal
bar is series of notches from which hang
the supports for the head and chin.
Lieutenant Daley's head is placed in the
support and he is then swung from the floor
He said the experience is anything but
pleasant, but as cure is being effected he
keeps at it. He is generally strung about
two and half minutes. When released he
cannot stand, and it is fully minutes before
he recovers from the effect of the hanging.
He has control of his lower limbs now, while
less than six months ago he staggered like a
drunken man, and can sleep every night
without injections of morphine, as before.

500 advance, and after considerable
pleading by Col. Bruce, she was knocked
down to Mr.. Forbes. But Louis Kilt

advance of $500, and the old mare was
left on the farm, where it is to be hoped
she will be buried on the lawn nearly
in front of the old homestead, alongside
