A CURE FOR CEREBRAL RHEUMATISM. Dr Woillez, of Paris, has created somethlsg like a sensation by pledging his acknowledged reputation that corebral rheumatism can be simply and efficaciously cured, without Incurring any danger for other maladies that a patient may be afflicted with, as pulmonary or hoart affections, by immersing the invalid in au ico bath, from ten to ninety minutes, til! symptoms of " shivering " set in, The bath may bo taken in two maanera, either by the fixed lowest temperature, GSdeg Fahr., or commencing at 82de£» and cooling down to the GBdeg, or everi G-kleg. Cerebral rheumatism must not be confounded with neuralgia, originates when the pains in the articulatiur.a cease and mount to the head, producing delirium cr depression, convulsions, tremblings, como, and the last stage before death, aephyxla. The disease is so rapid as to end, aad generally fatally, In twenty-four hours, No time should be lest when the Bymptom3 are observed to call in the doctor, and the latter should not delay a minuto to employ the bath. After five minutes' immersion the patient's pulse will gradually commence to fall, and become firm; ofran tho pulsations will diminish from IGO to 10b, Threa baths suffice in twonty«four hours to rescue the patient from certain dci'rih. No substitute ia the form of wet shocls or ice poultices will suffioe. The body must be covered by the bath up to tho chin. The invalid shortly after the bath will experience a delightful relief, but no apprehension la to be Indulged in if the de'irum return. The fever will never ba v/ba'« it was, nor the delirium so iutense, mid both will become gradually less after the second dip. The m&ludy la stopped, cut in its progress by the fir3t and off. a ©no suffices te check the asphyxia by removing tho difficulty of respiration.
