SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Common salt, snuffed up the nose in
doses of four grains, has been reported
by DR.. George Leslie to have remarkable
effects upon the nerves of the face. In
thirty or forty cases of toothache, facial
and other neuralgia, the pain disap-
peared almost instantly, and only two
cases failed to yield to the treatment.
The Conservative, 1902-03-13

There are cases of thought transfer
and like effects that puzzle even scien-
tific students. In recent lecture, Sir
Thomas Lander Brunton pointed out
that particular senses in some persons
are extremely sensitive, and showed
that slight impressions may sometimes
transfer thought, and that impressions
made upon one sense may effect an
other. Visions have been brought about
by some defect in the eye, and voices
have been heard through some defect in
the ear, and it is probable that some de-
feet in the nerve going from the eye to
the brain may cause hallucinations.
But there are other phenomena, i'm
possible to explain at present, that Sir
Thomas suggests may foreshadow the
discovery of brain.waves similar to the
