Sir James A. Grant, physician to tho Governor-General oj Canada, in an article contributed to a medical .Journal, says : "An important fact, and one clearly demonstrated, is that blood can actually he made by electricity, by stimulating through the abdominal walls the ganglia that : take part in the process of blood i formation. "For mam -years," he explains, "I applied electricity frequently with beneficial results. As the body is | largely composed of water, holding lin solution salts or potash and ; soda, it becomes an excellent elec- | trolyte. In no part of the human ' system are the irregularities of life 1 more marked than in the alimentary j canal, where the defences of the or- ' ganism permit the ingress of bacterial toxins. In this tract the blood becomes interrupted. Undor such circumstances a perfectly stable nervous system is a rarity. Here particularly rectrolysis becomes an important factor, giving new activity by establishing beyond doubt an , average neurophysic equilibrium." Alaskan babies are rubbed with oil, tightly rolled in a skin or blanket padded with grass, and hound with deerskin thongs,..which are undone but once a day: when the grass, is freshened. If the bnhy cries he is held under water until he is still.
