Tho Magnet In Surgery.

The following remarkable account Of
the extraction of a needle from the
body by means of magnet is given by
Cosmos:
:" a young laundress thrust a broken
needle into her right hand while wash.
ing clothes The needle having disap-
peared i'll the flesh, the surgeon who
was consulted several days after the ac-
cldent refused to perform an operation.
fearing lest he should be obliged to make
large number Of incisions among the
lgaments of the articulation. Two
months afterward the girl lost the use
OF her right hand, and the least move
ment Of the fingers caused her exquisite
pain. Drs Gorinewski and Cerestin
then determined to extract the needle
with the aid Of magnet, drawing it
into feshy region where an incision
could be made without danger. To
cause this movement they chose a very
feeble electro magnet, but q difficulty
arose. The needle having entered point
first, it would have to be drawn ont
backward, the broken part in advance.
The first trial lasted two hours.
with short intervals Of rest, without
appreciable results Before the third
trial the girl said that she felt a prick
ing in the palm Of the hand near the
place where the magnet had been ap-
piled and where the needle ought to ap-
pear. At the ninth sitting finally the
needle appeared beneath the skin and
came out whole, broken end first, with
out pain and without loss Of blood. It
fixed itself to the pole of the electro
magnet, and the young laundress was
cured. This result-the drawing of a
needle through the fesh-is very re-
markable. In 20 hours after the first
trial this needle was extracted from the
inside of the hand, after lying there
more than two months. Translation

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys The second way is
from careless local treatment of other
