The general trend OF weed migration

have been westward in the states east
Of the Rocky Mountains, except in
New England This westward course
corresponds with the progress Of culti-
walton and the movement Of the sup

The attention of French surgeon.
Prof LannelOngue, was lately drawn
10 blisters produced on the scalps Of
several children who had been PLAYING
in the shadow Of q wall whose top Was
under bright sunlight. The idea that
this might be an A-ray effect suggested
Itself Experiments were then made
on a number OF persons, when several
who Were exposed unprotected 10 sin

clares that N-Tay discoveries will revo-

It Is probably impossible TO estimate
how many injured limbs have been
sacrificed % the professional pride or
fallible Judgment of the surgeon. DR.
Reclus, at the recent French Congress
Of Surgery, described a substitute for
the ordinary operation, or a kind of
natural amputatiOn, in which the dead
tissue is embalmed and allowed t. be-
come separated from the living with
out interference. The wound i care
fully shaved, and cleansed with ether,
etc. in the usual way. Ii is then irri-
gated with water at a temperature of
