: semI.EIectrocutlon.

The latest discovery in annesthetics
Is that Of DR.. Stephen Leduc, Par
isian physician, who destroys sensi-
bility all over the body by sending
mild alternating current Of electricity
through the brain in the same gener-
al manner as in electrocution. In this
case the patient loses consciousness,
but in every other respect important
advantages are secured. There is no
nausea, weakness or languor, and. abb
solutely no effect on the heart. The
patient becomes conscious the instant
the current Is shut off, and with de-
cidedly invigorated sensation.-Balti-
