Twenty-eight years ago a French doc tor, M. Burq, announced that he could restore sensibility to persons afflicted with certain diseases paralyzing the whole or parts of their bodies, by merely laying a few golden or coppercoins upon the insensible carts. Of course he was laughed at. Nobody believed hint. He said that the gold coins would restore feeling to some persons, copper coins to others, zinc disks to others, and that in no case was there more than one metal that would have any effect upon tbe same person. Dr. Burq continued to practise his discovery, saying to all who were incredulous and called him a char latan, “come and see.” More than twenty five years passed away before he could get any of the medical authorities to listen to him. At last, however, toward the end of the year 187<>, Dr. Burq was authorized to repeat his experiments at the Salpetriere, and a committee of three learned physicians was named by the Societe de Biologic to observe and report upon the result. The committee added three others, equally well-known, to their number, men chosen for their physio logical science, and the entire committee made its report at the end of last month, establishing the truth of M. Burq’s as sertions. From the review of this report in the Journal des Debats for the 3d instant, we select a few of the curious results of the investigation. A girl of sixteen was operated upon. .She was subject to con vulsions, and the right half of her body was wholly insensible. It could be pierced or burned without causing the least sensation. Bracelets made of gold coin were applied to the insensible parts. Fifteen minutes later the skin had be come red, the patient experienced a tingling, and was sensitive to the slight est pricking of the skin. Moreover, she could hear with her right car, which had been deaf, and distinguished colors with her right eye, which before she could not do. On others the application of gold failed to produce any effect, but the sense f touch was restored by the use in some cases of copper, in others of zinc. The effects were not confined to the sense of touch. The muscular powers were modified. The dynamometer, to register the force of a blow with the fist, gave for the right hand of the girl whose case we have referred to, before the experiment, twenty-three kilograms, for the left forty live kilograms. After the application of gold the right hand gave thirty kilograms, tbe left only thirty five. The one had lost and the other had gained. Before the expert, otnt the temperature of the right side wan twenty-four per cent., and of the left twenty-seven percent,. After the experiment the heat of both sides was equal, but lower than the previous average. In this ciwo and in many others the efleet produced was merely temporary, tieneral muscular weakness, lower tem perature, total insensibility of one side, deafness and color blindness, all returned in a few hours. Hut in ease of paralysis from cerebral lesions—the previous ex periments have lieen with epileptics— the improvement was permanent. One man, who had been experimented upon with gold, copper and zinc without effect, was cured by the application of disks of iron to the right side of his nose and his tongue. He regained local and general sensitiveness, and baa lost none of it, as was the case with persons who were in sensible from the effects ol epilepsy. Or. Burq never pretended to offer an explanation of the wonderful effects of the application of metals, but a member of the committee, M. Regnard, supplied the important elements. The metals cause an extremely feeble current of electricity. T lie idea that it was elec tricity occurred to M. lfurq, but he had dismissed it as untenable, because he did not suppose that any chemical action whatever could lie caused, and conse quently no electrical action, by the con tact of so obstinate a metal as gold with the skin. But the test Uy the galvanom eter demonstrated that such ac.ion did take place, and that the current varies according to the metal employed. The tact that the very feeble current thus generated was the efficacious agent was then proved by employing a current of fhe same strength otherwise generated, with identical results. Thus the trial by metal is useful as an indicator of the pre vise strength of current that i< necessary iti each case. One example given by the l\ hats will suffice to indicate the possi bilities of the old agent electricity as newly employed. A woman was affected with hyperesthesia from organic lesion of the marrow. The use of weak currents greatly diminished the hyperesthesia. She oouid not walk; contact with any object frightened her: she feared being touched by those near her; the least pressure upon the le:t side caused her to cry out,and she had beu so ;for five years. In fifty minutes the application of weak currents enabled her to bear pressure upon the body and muscles without pain, and she walked back to j the hall of the infirmary. This improve-1 ment lasted three weeks. These are but few of the experiments ' reported by the representatives of the Societe de Biologie, and are treated by the Journal des Debats with the respect to which their apparent significance en titles them.— Bolton Advertiser. THE HTOftY OF A MUMMY. For seventeen years the most curious object in the museum of the Tennessee historical society has been the Egyptian mummy. It has a very singular history. In 1860 Colonel Jeremiah George Harris was a purser on a United States man-of war in the Egyptian waters. He went on shore, and was at once ushered into the august presence of the khedive and his numerous household. He was walk ing out one day with a member of the khedive’s staff, when the latter was set upon by ruffians. Colonel Harris, who is a man of great strength, interposed, and tbe rogues were vanquished. “ What can T do,” asked the Egyptian officer, “to show adequate approbation of the services you have rendered me ?” “Give me a mummy,” laughingly suggested Colonel Harris. “A mummy?” repeated the officer, holding his breath and pondering. “ Did you not know', sir, that our laws prohibit it the removal of the mummies, under penalty of death ? ’ But never mind, your request shall be fulfilled. Just before your vessel leaves the harbor, a boat will come alongside. It will con tain that for which you have asked.” Colonel Harris had dismissed the sub ject from his mind, but just before the hour for the departure of the ship three natives were seen pulling toward the vessel. The boat contained a bundle directed to Colonel Harris. This bundle was not opened uutil the arrival of the ship at Boston, when it was discovered that there were six mummies instead of one. They were unwrapped, and the best one forwarded to the Tennessee his torical society, of which Colonel Harris wsh then and is still a member. When Professor Huxley was here he examined the mummy with a great deal of interest, and said that he believed it to be the best preserved specimen either in America or in Europe.— Nashville A mer iron. WILD HOGS IX CALIFOUXIA. Wild hogs abound in the tule lands of San Joaquin, California. They were doubtless originally propagated from do mestic stock that have escaped into the jungle, and become as wild as the famous game infesting the Black Forest, the hunting of which affords so much pleas ure to the German nobility. They live and thrive on the succulent roots to be found in the tulcs, but are exceedingly shy, and it is only by accident that one catches a glimpse of them, as they in stinctively avoid the haunts of „i c n. They are trapped and caught occask ' illy in an ingenious manner by the tule farmers, who build small but very strong corrals or pens on their stamping grounds for this purpose. A report Of a Connecticut divorce suit that suddenlly and remarkably col lapsed, says: “At this stage of the pro ceedings, Judge Carpenter remarked that he wished to say a word. He had been thinking about this matter, he said, with a particular reference to a possibility of bringing about ah amicable settlement before either party’s character should be ■stained before the world by the proposed array of unclean evidence. He spoke feelingly of the children, and suggested for their sake the counsel retire to sec whether a reconciliation or an amicable agreement could not now he made. Honest tears rolled down the judge’s cheeks as he referred to his own domestic relations, and his motherless children. While he was talking, sobs were heard in the rear of the room. Mrs. Trumpy was convulsed with weeping. The women in the court-room sobbed audibly, and even the hardened counsel bended close down to their papers, and stealthily wiped their eyes. Jduge Carpenter’s words and manner were affecting in the extreme. Thecolnsul retired, and, after consultation among themselves and with their clients, in due time announced that an amicable settlement had been accom plished,” A I*ollll on which the Doctor* Agree.

Many ladies have re frained from using it on account of a general feeling of prejudice against advertised medi cines. Let me ask a question. Are you prejudiced against sewing machines because you have seen them advertised? or can you doubt the ingenuity and skill required in their invention? Again,would yon refuse to insure your house because the company advertised that it had paid millions in losses, and yet had a capita! of several millions? Do such advertisements shake oour confidence, and create prejudices? Then why refuse to credit the testimony of those who have found the Favorite Prescription to be all that is claimed for it in overcoming those ailments peculiar to your sex? Why submit to tbe use of harsh, and perhaps caustic treatment, thus aggravating your malady, when relief is guaranteed, and a positive, perfect, and per manent cure has been effected in thousands of cases?
