AN ELFCTRIC CURE.

It would seem as if electricity were
becoming mans servant in almost
every sphere. The latest attempts at
utilizing the wonderful fluid are in the
direction of curing consumption. Ac-
cording to reports. experiments have
been made in London and that re-
markable results have followed. Ac-
cording to the Herald's European edi-
ton, we learn that:
These experiments, for the most
part, have been conducted by DR.. A.
]. Bohemian, an eminent west end sur
geon, in the course of his private prac-
tice, but with the knowledge and APP
prevail of leading consumption special
lists. For various reasons. but princi-
pally because of evil results which
might ensue if the system were used
by any but the most experienced med
zeal men, with perfect knowledge of
the forces they were dealing with the
experiments have been quietly con-
Quoted Applications for details of the
methods used have not been encour-
aged
We need only enter into the details
of the two systems employed. In fact
the accounts given us are rather too
technical, and we are not sufficiently
acquainted with either electricity or
the medical theories concerning con-
sumption, to give any opinion upon the
subject. However, we may say that
CDR. Bokenhams experience is that
in very bad cases of consumption the
cough has been greatly reduced, night
sweats have disappeared. the appetite
has improved and there has been a
great gain in weight and general
health. So that even if the consump-
ton bacilli have not been destroyed, it
is certain that their cirulence has been
much decreased that they have been
brought under control and that the pa
tient has felt cured"
1t is quite within the range of possi-
bility that this terrible disease could
be cured by the means thus used. In
fact we are told of several cases of
apparent cures, and of one particular
bad case. Anyway, if the discovery
should result in a successful treatment
of a disease that has baffied all human
skill heretofore, the world will be deep
~ Indebted to the one who produced
such happy results. But we prefer, be-
fore taking all that is said for granted.
to await further developments and
more positive experiments.
