A. Htarling, at a recent meeting of thu British society of anesthetists. In an operation for appendicitis on a man agod sixty-live under nitrous oxide and other anesthesia, botli pulse and respiration ceased together, and artifical respiration and traction on the tongue failed to revive them. Then the surgeon, Mr. W. Arbuthnot Lane, pushed his hand up through the abdominal wound and grasped the motionless heart through the diaphragm. He squeezed it and felt it start pulsating, though no radial pulse could be felt. Artificial respiration and other restoratives were continued, and in about twelve minutes natural respiration reappeared and the pulse became perceptible at the wrist. The operation was then completed without the use of the anesthetic, and the patient made a good recovery, with, however, some diaphragmatic tenderness.—London Lancet J. A.

He had taken out a patent on a telegraph repeater, in which a chisel-shaped stylus indented a sheet of paper curled around a cylinder. These indented marks were to be used in retransmitting the recorded meesege. "While singing into the mouthpiece of a telephone, the vibrations of the voice sent the fine metal point into my linger," he tells us. "That set me to thinking. If I could record the movements of the point and send it over the same surface afterward, I saw no reason why the thing would not talk. I tried the experiment first on a strip of telegraph paper. I shouted 'Hello! hello 1' into the mouth piece, ran the paper back over the steel point, and heard a faint 'Hello! hello! in rerurn." Then he decided to make a talking machine. The men in the laboratory laughed at him. In the end he proved that he was right.—Scientific American. H. J. LOEB 7, 190$. PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA.. JANUAR vol. xxx.

Scheppegrell was a man of fifty-seven years, with an involvement of the left wall of the larynx, affecting also the corresponding cord. For the iirst three weeks after daily ten-minute exposures the result was discouraging. After the twentieth exposure treatment was discontinued for a while, but examination a few weeks later showed a vast improvement. Treatment was again resumed. Six month later the larynx was in good condition and the case considered cured. No mention is made of a portion of the growth for microscopical examination. The anthor expresses firm belief in the correctness of the diagnosis, and believes the case to be the first on recod of a cure of malignant disease of the laynx by the X-ray.—New York Medical Journal.
