NOVEL CURE FOR THIS FORM OF PARALYSIS. —A PATIENT SUBJECTED TO THE ACTION OF ROTATING MIRRORS IS ABLE TO LEAVE AFTER THRKEE WEEKS, AND, IN THREE MONTHS, IS CURED.
(N. Y. Herald’s London Edition.)
An interesting communication has been made by a physician of the Charfty Hospi- tal, Dr. Luys, tothe Medical Society of the Paris Hospitals, ou the particalar form of paralysis known as St. Vitus’s Dance.
Dr. Luys said : ‘* I present to the so- ciety a patient, forty-four years of age, who four years was subject to paralysie agitante, until it vccurred to me to try on him rays of rotating mirrors, or the springs used for luring larks. The experiment was not only absolutely harmless, but it was author- ised by the fact that all treatment employ- ed until then by a number of my colleagues had failed.
‘** When I first saw the patient, January 5, 1889, his morbid condition had all the most typical characteristics of ‘ paralysie agitante,’ (St. Vitus’s dance). Besides the charteristic trembling of the hands, there was a general quivering of the trunk, ri- gidity of the muscles of the neck, which, by a sort of torticolis, kept the head mo- tionless on the spinal column. The features were immobile and plastered to the bony subjacent skeleton without any apparent folds. The patient was absolutely unable to carry a cup to his lips or to eat his soup: he couid not even button his clothes with- out assistance, norcould he write. For four years it had been impossible for him to sign his name. His speech was confused and jerky; he was also troubled with contin- ual headache.
WONDERFUL RESULTS.
‘** Hypnotic treatment with rotating mir- rors was atonce commenced, During eight consecutive days the patient was made to gaze fixedly at the moving mirrors from about twenty to thirty minutes at a time. During this time his case presented no ap- parent modifications, but after the eighth trial of the treatment an improvement showed itself in his condition, in a diminu- tion of the cephalagie. After the four- teenth day the improvement had made considerable progress; the rigidity of the neck had disappeared, the features hud re- covered their natural aspect and color, his speech had become normal, and the tremb- ling of the hands had diminished to such a point that the patient could carry a tumbler half filled with water to his mouth, while previously he had been obliged, in order to drink unaided, to place the glass on a chair and get down on his knees so as to take it between his lips.
‘* At the end of three weeks’ treatment the patient had sufliciently improved to ask permission to leave the hospital and to re- sume hia work. I induced him to prolong his stay in order to complete the treatment, and now, at the end of about three months, I consider that he is cured.
EFFECT ON THE NERVOUS CENTRES,
‘* Tt is an interesting fact that a morbid condition of such long standing and one which is considered as incurable should have been so rapidly cured by the mere physical faction of mirrors in rotation placed before the eyes of the patient. No verbal hypnotic suggestion was made to the patient during the first days of the treat- ment ; it was only towards its closc, when the progress toward a cure was well marked, that some suggestions to cease trembling were made to him. Asa matter of fact, the really efficacious action of this treat- ment belongs entirely to the strange influence first upon the eyes and then on the nervous centres of the vibrations of rays of light acting in a successive and rapid way.”

Farm Notes.
Speed the plough, the seeder and the harrow. The true economy of farming is to do everything well. The early killed is the easily killed weed and the weed that robs the crop least. One of the most important matters in farming is to have your seed entirely clean, If you are careful to keep the furrows straight you wil] do faster and better ploughing. Don’t fool away your time with poor teams or poor implements. It is economy of time to have only the best. A diversity of crops distributes work, receipts and expenses more evenly through the year and through the years. Good seed is a more important matter In the economy of farming, as without this it is unreasonable to expect a good stand. There are few things that will improve the appearance of a home more than tree planting. Every rural and suburban home should be marked by a nice grove of forest or ornamental trees, hedge rows for wind breaks and an orchard of standard and smali fruits.

A Narrow Escaps.—The Pioneer reports that a young lad named Webber narrowly escaped drowning in Summerside harbor on Friday morning. He was leaning against the door of the freight shed on Queen’s Wharf watching the Miramichi being loaded, when one of the workmen ran against him with a truck, knocking him into the water. After floundering about for some time he was rescued by two men named Cook and McLean. The little fellow was badly frightened, but other- wise not much the worse for his involuntary bath.
Apvicr To MorTHEers.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “bright asa button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup, and take no ather kind. [April 1 ’8g ER SuGAR WILL Be Hicgurr.—New York ad-
