REPORT of DISEASES and CASUALTIES occurring in the public and private Practice Western District of the City Dispensary. of the Physician who has the care of the A will an intermittent mark, have withGUES, and other disorders stamped in the last month or two been comparatively frequent, in those parts of the town to which the writer's observation is more especially summoned,-comparatively, he says, since to see a case of actual ague in the metro polis, some years ago, was to witness a solitary and rare exception to the general order of things. The fact of the renewal of this species of fever does not appear of easy explication; and, indeed, the altogether of febrile production and prevalence is still obscured by a mist of uncertainty. Agues are among those maladies from which the idea of contagion is usually separated; but the Reporter has not only had recent occasion to remark their apparent origin in the very centre of the city, but he has just attended a family, three individuals of which fell, one after ano ther, into the horrors of the disease, in the same sort of succession, in respect to time and mode, as is seen in instances of what is vulgarly and vaguely called typhus-fever. Were the two last members of the above family infected by Malaria, or did they sicken in consequence of communication with the sick? Stomach and intestinal derangements still, also, continue to prevail; but the cases to which the term cholera might unequivocally be applied, are by no means so common as we find them in the autumnal season, when the exceeding heat of the day becomes contrasted with the evening and morning cold. The greater number of those bilious affections that are now of daily occurrence might be prevented from proceeding to any extent, by the timely taking of a little tincture of rhubarb,than which there is scarcely an agent in the whole list of pharmaceutical compounds more worthy of domestic appreciation. That irritative action of the liver, The Latin term horror, which is applied to the first stage of an intermittent, has no actual synonyme in the English language, Shivering, by which it is translated, is too feeble an expression; for the sensation is very different from the mere feeling of cold. Dr. George Fordyce used forcibly to say in his lectures, that nature seemed to be shuddering at the ravages about to be committed upon the frame. by which the complaints allied to cholera are accompanied, is often likewise considerably controlled by five grains of Pilula Hydrargyri; but, for the most part, when blue pill is introduced, it is time for the domestic prescriber to make his exit. The writer is more than suspicions, that mercurial alteratives are employed by a great part of the public with an injurious freedom, under the prevailing notion of diges tive derangement being the "fons et origo malorum omnium." Oil of turpentine continues to be employed by the Reporter with happy result in many of those maladies in which, with a cathartic operation, a something is required that shall powerfully influence both the secreting organs and the sentient system. Dr. Prichard has, in a late Treatise on the Nervous System, shown that he appreciates highly, and prescribes extensively, this very powerful, but, if properly applied, highly useful medicine. In cases where the mucous membrane of the intestinal canal is in that state of morbid being in which a stimulating and controling agency are together demanded, the medical practitioner will often find his account in calling to his recollection the almost specific virtues of the drug now referred to. A person has just attended upon the Reporter, with a statement of the great good he has received from a compound of sulphurct of potass and hemlock, prescribed for violent prurigo. This composition will be often found to subdue inordinate itching and irritation of the skin, after a long list of other medicinals shall have been unavailingly administered. Stramonium the writer wishes again to recommend as applicable, among other disorders, to those derangements of the pulmonary organs that at the same time partake of a spasmodic and inflammatory nature, without being absolutely either one or the other. Half-grain doses of the extract will frequently prove an efficacious adjunct to expectorant drugs, and will serve the purpose of an opiate, when the sedative qualities of opium are called for, while its use is contra-indicated by its constringing tendency. D. UWINS, M.D. Bedford Row; July 20. REPORT OF CHEMISTRY AND EXPERIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY. M: VICAL has made some valuable experimental researches on water ce. ments, mortar, and lime. The following are some of his inferences: 1st. Excess of lime in water cements retards the setting, which bears a direct proportion with the hardness. 2d. Active puozzolanas set better with fat than with hydraulic limes: but hydraulic limes are most active of all with middling puozzolanas. Sd. Slacking by immersion, and by atmospherical exposure, are preferable to that by affusion, for speedy setting. Tracin Tracing the relative induration by age, we find that 1st. Water cements, with common lime, harden quicker during the third year than the second. 2d. With highly hydraulic limes, acquire their maximum of hardness by the end of the second year. But, while the globules of blood in different animals vary in size, they vary also in form. In the mammalia they are alt spherical, while in birds they are elliptical, and vary only in the lengths of their greater axes. They are likewise elliptical in all cold-blooded animals. They found also that the colourless globule which exists in the centre of the particles of blood, has the constant diameter of Cements made with common lime sometimes do not fully indurate within ten years; and with such lime and sand theyth of an inch in all animals, and have been found soft at the end of twentyfive years. We should doubt whether such cements (if they can deserve the name) ever would indurate at all. He also concludes: 1st. That very fat white limes may form, by the assistance of water alone, bodies as hard as a multitude of natural limestones, particularly when the common mode of slacking is used, and when a firm binding consistence is given to the paste, and nothing opposes its shrinkage on drying. 2d. That the action of the air and length of time increase the hardness of the slacked limes exposed to it. 3d. That the hydraulic limes, particularly those that are coloured, give by the action of the water only light and soft compounds. whatever be the form of the globule which contains it. In their experiments on the transfusion of blood, they obtained many interesting results. When animals were bled till they fainted, they died when they were left alone, or when water and serum of blood, at the temperature of 100 Fahr. was injected into their veins. If, on the contrary, the blood of an animal of the same species was injected, every portion of the blood thrown in reanimated the exhausted animal; and when it had received as much as it lost, it began to breathe freely, to take food, and was finally restored to perfect health. When the injected blood was from an animal of a different species, but whose globules had the same form, though a different size, the animal was only partially relieved, and could seldom be kept alive for more than six days, the animal heat diminishing with remarkable rapidity. When the blood of an animal with spherical globules is injected into a bird, it usually dies under the most violent nervous affections, as if under the influence of the most intense poison; and this takes place even when only a small quantity of blood has been lost. In a great number of cases, cats and rabbits were restored for some days by the injection of the blood of cows and sheep, even when the injection of the blood was not made till twelve, or even twenty-four, hours after the blood was extracted from the latter. The blood was kept in a fluid state in a cool place, either by taking away a certain quantity of fibrine, or adding 1000th part of caustic soda. When the blood of the sheep was injected into ducks, they died after rapid 3000 and strong convulsions. 4th. That the action of the air increases their hardness, but not in any degree equal to that which it gives to the hydrates of the fat limes. 5th. That the resistances of these different compounds are not at all proportional to their degrees of hardness. A number of interesting results have recently been obtained by PREVOST and DUMAS, respecting the form of the globules of blood of different animals, and the effects of transfusing the blood of one animal into another. The following are their measures of the diameters of the globules : Of an Eng. inch. 7200 .... 28 0 0 ........ 24 0 0 25 0 0 33 0 25 0 33 0 0 per pipe 55 0 0 24 0 Sherry, 55 0 0 do. 60 0 0 per butt Premiums of Insurance.-Guernsey or Jersey, 10s. 6d.-Cork or Dublin, 10s. 6d. -Belfast, 10s. 6d.-Hambro', 7s. 6d. a 10s.-Madeira, 158. 9d. a 20s.
