A simple new cure for neuralgia is described by the Presse Medicale (Pans). It was discovered by Dr W. Janowski, who found that repeated pressure on the affected nerve where it comes out from the skull is an effectual remedy. Dr Janowski holds the patient’s head firmly against his own chest while he presses with his first finger on the nerve at its point of emergence. Pressure is kept up for only one second, and, with intervals of one second, it is repeated about 10 times at each sitting. If the treatment is not effectual in five or six days, an interval of two days should bo allowed before renewing it. Cultivate the taste for the healthfully beneficial in beverages WOLFE’S SCHNAPPS
