' We have the ac count from some friends who chanced to be pre sent, and saw the patient eating the first meal she had taken in five days' a few; minutes after the spasm had ceased. She had been previ ously nourished by drawing, milk through the apertures of the closed teeth, through which the edge of a knife could be passed with the great est difficulty. ; The young woman was thus af fected in consequence of; exposure to cold and fatigue, and was completely recovered by the electro-galvanic apparatus applied to both an gles of the jaw. The machine had not made forty revolutions, when the jaw opened to its full and natural width. Wo learn that it has been successfully applied for many nervous dis eases of the eye ; also in a case of poisoning by laudanum, where two entire ounces had been swallowed. In this case! the 'patient was re vived by the machine, and collapsed alternately, during five hours, the intervals becoming short er, till speech was! re-established. Curvature i of the spine has also yielded to its power. In deed, its proper application is as varied as diseas ses ot general aeDiiity ana irregular nervous action.- Journal of Commerce.
