Jitor At a writer under the signature of one who avows himself ignorant of anatorr.y, and conseqently of physiulogy and its kindred science psychology, has ventured forth, both in your paper and in the Democratic Review," to do battle, in the true spirit of Quixot ism, against Neurology, or rather against Mesme rism, which he, in the simplicity of his ignorance and consequent presumption, supposes to be iden tical, I would ask the favor of saying a few words in reply, as preliminary to the subjoined article from the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal." I am not an anatomist," says the profound Ire nus and as I charge him above with ignorance and presumption, so it wiil be seen, to use a scriptural phrase, out of his own mouth shall he be condemned." Would any man blessed with the noble attribute of common, sense, what in plain English is expressed by the term mother wit, pretend, when ignorant of those sciences upon which another is built, to set himself up as a yidge of the trutn oi tne latter in tnis iaie position before the public, has lrenaeu, by his own admission, nlaced himself, in the prejuii.ptuous attempt to edify the public mind upon a subject about which he knows nothing; and more man tins, about which his ignorance of the rudimenfal sciences renders him ncapable of forming an; correct opinion. As our most erudite rtviewer makes the truths neurology to depend tipon the reality of mesme rism, as presented in ins pnenomena ot clairvoy mnce, ne aoes lie most palpatio injustice to the theory of Dr. Buchanan. JJut this is merely an other evidence of his nnjiatrlonaWe ignorance, (un paruuiiaoie in mm wno places nimseii in trt public attitude of a teacher,) as will appear most satisfactorily from a oerusal of the annexed renort a committee consisting of four medical gentle men ot this cily, teachers and writers on the sci ence of medicine and its collateral departments. un ine present occasion, in conequenre or the length of this Report, which is the first on this subject that has ever apaeared in a medical journal, it would be making too great a demand upon your columns, to dissect and expose to the public gaze the rottenness of tre motley tissue of absurdi ties, contradictions, anl witticisms, woven toge ncr, in tne article pub.ished in the Iat number if the Democratic Review, by the nondescript Ke inus of IrenaMi.

I feel it incumbent on me. however, to set right this critical reviewer, who ia "not an anatomist," in regard to hia random assertion that those who are anatomists," tho whole medical world" have thought beneath their notice the investigation of phrenology and what he choses to designate as "Am mat Magnetism." So fur from this being true, it is now well known that the general truths of phrenolo are admitted by nineteen twentietha of the younger members of the medical profession. Had Gell and Spurzheim, who are snled by our highly gifted, aci enrifie, aud tasteful reviewer, "apostles of quackery," and whom be represents asridine, not a hobby, but "breomstick, demonstrated no other fact thttn tho now almost universally admitted law that the mind is endowed with a plurality of innate faculties, their fame would have descended to the remotest poaterky.

L. Mitchell, M. and the under signed. It was contemplated, in tha first place, to carry out experimentally, with a view to determine their truth, the various alleged discoveries of Dr. I3u lianan a avstem of neurology but this design, in con sequence of Dr.

speedy departure from this city, haa been, in a measure, frustrated. Fortunately, however, he is sow wending his way to your city, which has bees ever distinguished for liberality, as regards the free and untrnmmeleal exeiciseof opinion. With us, every gentleman who has become acquaint ed with Or. is fully satisfied of the honorable mo lives prompting bis present devotion to these investigations. He is truly a bold and an original thinker, ana! an untiring searcher after truth.

As mankir have, in all ages, been the dupee of de ceptions practiced upon tne love ot tne marvellous, the wise have consequently been always very justly on their guard against easy credulity but notwithstand ing this fact, it becomes not the true philosopher of the present era, because some lavoritc end lung cherished system might possibly be disturbed, to shut the avenues of bis external senses against the intrusion of any evidence, however marvellous. Jn the fact tnat many natural phenomena which were formerly repair ed with superstitious awe, have been satisfactorily ex piainea on scientinc principles, we are laugm tne important lesson, net to decide precipitately that any ubenonenon is too marvellous tor credence. It is not intended to present here even a sketch of the principles ot neurology, suffice it to say, that to Ur. a. is due the distinguished honor of being the first individual to excite the organs of the brain by agencies applied external directly over them; and before this discovery, on ike assumption of its truth, those of Gall, Spurzheim, MagcnJie, and Sir Ct.niles Bell, dwindle into compttrtlive insignificance.

If we admit that by tins means, ia "impressible subieets, have be come discoverable the various cervbrnl organs, which are connected not only with the phenomena ot tliouclit and feeling, but which control the corporeal powers, follows tnat tits discovery has revealed the key to man's nature, moral, intellectual and physical. A striking peculiarity characteristic of Dr. B. a ex periments ia, tlitt, instead of pulling the subject first into the Mesmer.c somnambulic condition, by which the pnenomena tliat follow may be rendered hichlv deceptive and inaccurate, he operates upon him in the natural waking state, free from the mental delusions which may be supposed to pertain to somnambulism. Sch announcements as these will no doubt be con sidered by many at" your readers as inadmissible in sober pages ofajoirnal dedicated to medical science; but, notwilhitandiig this pardonable prejudice, you will not, 1 trust, reuse admission to this article, seeinc that experimental rerifications of the excitement of the separate orgam of the brain, thus calling forth in an intense degree Jieir natural language and action, have been, it is aleged, both in this country and in Europe, separately witnessed under circumstances de fying all collusion.

The fiist experiment detailed in the minutes, I bate myself since successfully verified upon a naval medical omcer. Although the experiments making up the minutes are comparatively tiw in number, moie than ten times as many having been witnessed by myself; yet, in consideration of the precise physiological character, tliev cannot tail to tirect to the ubiect the attention of the profession. Moreover, these experiments are entitled to more linn ordinary respect, from the cir cumstance that the liree members associated with me on this committee, are accustomed to the investigations of philosophical questions. All have been, or are now, teachers medical science or lis collateral branches. When Dr.

B. caches your citv. ir is to be hoped that be will be received in a manner corresponding with your reputaticn for enlightened and liberal views. That the medical profession, on subjects of this kind, has prejudices that are almost insuperable, will, it is presumed, not be ienied. These have now been here removed to a degree sufficient to give the subject a fair investigation, were it not that Dr.

B. is on the point of departing for Albany prior to visiting your city, lo the med cal profession, in consideration ot their knowledge ol anatomy and physiology, belongs tho investigation of this question. Lt il therefore be immediately taken up by the leading members of the faculty of your citv and let not the op probrious lines written hy (ialileo to Kepler, al already quoted on this subject, become applicable to yourselves "Here, at l'adua, is the principal pro fvssor of philosophy, whom 1 have repeatedly and urgently requested to look at the moon and planets through my glasses, which he pertinaciously refuses to do." New York, Januaiy 12th. 1843. SAMUEL FORRY, M.

D. MINUTES These meetings are not put in tlie order of their occurrence the first, as its experiment are most complex, being placed last. Committee met January 9ih present Drs. Joslin, Mitchell and Forry. Dr.

on this occasion, attempted to ascertain to what extent Dr. Mitchell might be impressible, and be made the subjectof physiological experiments. It was found, en tou 'hing tne ainerent nngers ot nis tight hand with the corresponding finger of Dr. hand, that no was pt in trie tnira fin per: in which finger the sensation was compared bv Dr. M.

to that caused by a weak current of electricity. This was perceived not only in the fin ger, but in thetoreerm neai sue eioow. upon tne left hand no sensible impression was practised. Judging from this experiment that a slight degree of impressibility might exist, an attempt was made to modify the function of vision by the excitement of those cerebral organs which aflect it. To ascenmn the present condition ot tnat function, Ur.

M. was reauested to read wiui "tu oi ine ryes alternately, .1. l. ind thus determine tneir viausu range, it appeared hat he could read distinctly in the pages of a book handed to him at the distance of sixteen and a hall inches, and no difference could be perceived in the visual power of either eye. Dr.

B. now proposed so to modify the visual fune lions as to contract the range of vision and diminish the clearness of perception in one eye, without pto ducine any ettect in tne ruber. His nngers were accordincly applied upon the left side of tlie bead at the inner canthiis of the left eye, and about one inch behind the same eye upon the temple. bee operations being made upon the visual organs ihe left cerebral hemisphere, would, according to Dr. system, manifest their effects on the right Aj thi, experiment tha riKht eve end the I cght side of the bead were not touched by Dr.

we any in in two of now the rial I to ing wa the of bis of a on know of no method of accounting for the efTeet produced upon that side, but the law of the decussation which connects each hemisphere of the brain with the eppeaite part of lite body a law, which, according to the theury of Dr. is absolute and unlimited in its application to man. It is obvious that effects whirls could be ascribed to touch or pressure upon the nerves or bloodvessels, would be felt that eye only with which bis fingers were pearly contact. After holding hia fingers in contact about two minutes, after the manner above described, upon the point which tend to affect the visual sensibility the right eye and to diminish its perceptive powers, Dr. B.

removed his band, when Dr. M. again tried the comparative visual power of each eye. It appeared that notwithstanding he could still read with the left eye at the distance of sixteen and ball inches, he could not distinguish tlie letters at a greater distance than fourteen and a half inches with right eye. This experiment being repeated, which occupied about two minutes, the same differ ence of the rye was again noted ithout any mate cnange.

The third experiment ore npird about the seme time; and al its conclusion, Dr. M. still rend at the same distance with his left ee, but his richt eve had become so dim that he could not distinguish a single letteruntil he brought the book within eight and a half inches of the rye. At this distance he could catch a view of ihe letters, which, by gradually with drawing the book, he could retain at fourteen incises. lie eve, in the words of Dr.

felt "dim and suffused and he several times applied his finjers it, as if to remove some obstruction, without apparently producing any relief. Jn the fourth experiment, a sufficient interval bavs elapsed to allow the dimness to pass off, the re sult was still nioro decided, nust the lett eye maintained its usual range of vision, that of the right tiiur and a bait inches shorter. At the end ot the fifth experiment, the relative visual ranee was nearly the same ai in the fourth. increasing twilight diminishing the absolute range both eyes, whilst they still evinced a difference of three lncnes in their relative ranee. Dr.

B. new proceeded to reverse the operation by touching on the right side of the head, and placing hsnd on the lett occiput to counteract the excite ment which he had pieviously produced on that side the head. In a few minutes the eyes were again tried, and there appeared to be a difference of but one inch as before in favor of the right eye. This difference, however, disappeared in the next expe. riment, end tha visual range of the right eye was even an inch greater than that of the lett.

In the eighth experiment the result, contrary to expectation, was an inch in favor of the left eve. I this experiment, however, it may be slated that, ac cording to the impressaionk both of Ur. B. and the finger of Dr. B.

did not previously rest ujon ihe exact point which tends to dim the vision of the left eye but bad on the conttary, touched the organ just above, which he regards a calculated to pro long the power ot vision. Ine experiment was now repeated, cautiously avoiding this error, and the re sult was that both ryes were equal in their visual range. This was done twice subsequently with tlie same result. a Dr. B.

now stated that it would require some filioen minutes to reduce the ranee of the left eye aa he bad previously done with tlie right but as the time of tlie committee bad expired, it was agreed to adjourn. At the next meeting ofthe committee, Mr. member of the Common Council of Jersey city, was present. I lis age appeared to be about forty five, his temperament sanguine bilious, his weight about two hundred pounds, his head was largely developed, and his whole appearance indicated firm health. Tlie same class of experiments that bad been made on Dr.

was repeated with more decided effect on Mr. B. For the sake of brevity, the details are here omitted. Both eyes having the same range, twenty one inches, Dr. by two experiments, contracted the range of the left eye to seventeen and a quarter inches, and increased that of the right eye to twenty seven and a half inches.

Subsequently, the range ot the left eye was prolonged to twenty nine inches. I the operations tor reducing tbe range of the left eye, vision became at one time so indistinct that Mr. B. found it ifhcult to read at any distance, and remarked that all things appeared dim and foggy." This in distinctness was removed by Dr. placing hia hand the upper part ofthe right occiput.

Dr. B. now attempted to show ia Mr. tbe modifications of the pulse produced by exciting different parts ofthe head. The pulse being at 80, full and soft.

Dr. B. applied hia hsnd upon the occiput ol bis subject, for about ten minutes, when it bectme more tense or wiry, beating 64 to the minute. Dr. Alban CJ ddsmith, who was thr present, discovered the change in the first two or three minuter: Dr.

hand being now placed upon the frontal and upper part of the os frontie, the pulse, without chancing its frequency, became softer and more compressible. It ass, kowsrsr, loam svgular, varjrint? during the dtfa ferenl quarters of the minute a result predicted by Dr. B. The hand being next placed on the side of the head, on tbe temporal and malar bones, the pulse, in perhaps ten minutes, was reduced to 77, being more feeble and less resisting. Lastly, Dr.

B. placed his hand on the top of the bead, in the region of firmness. Under this influence, the pulse became more steady and resisting, without increase ing in frequency. Drs. Mitchell ond Forry visited with Dr.

B. a lady aged 63, upon whom some interesting experiments in modifying vision were performed. Tbe vision of this lady was so much impaired by age that, without her glassce.es we ascertained by experiment, the could read nothing smaller than capital letters fully half an inch long; and with her classes, although she was able to read its her b.ble.yet she could not read the mare inal references, which were in smaller type. After some ten or fifteen minutes spent by Dr. B.

in exciting the ctiebral organs at the internal end of the brow, her vision improved so much tint she read with facility print not more than one third aa large as that which she had previously been enabled to read. With her glasses on, she now read in her bible with case, remarking that it appeared planter than usual, and also read the marginal references in diamond letter, which had been to Ion; illegible to jr decaying vision. This experiment was rendered the more intelligible and satisfactory by the discrimination and frankness of the old lady, to whom the resnlts were equally novel and gratifying. Committee met January 5th Present Drs. Gr com, Joslin, Mitchell and Forry.

Dr. Buchanan stated that the object of his experiments to day was to illustrate the following proposition That a highly impressible individual will receive an influence from touchine anv part of tbe head of another person, which will reproduce in himself the SDecihc action ot the organ that is toucueo. nis, Dr. B. remarked, was but a preliminary proposition, showing lbeioundatioiiof his views as regards a new method of diagnosis.

He wished first to show that strong and distinct impressions could be made in this way that the physiological actun of one constitution could, under certain circumstances, be propagated to another; and thattu the highly impressible the action reproduced in this manner, will correspond with great exactness to the character ol the physiological action belonging to the part touched. Thus when an individual ot this peculiar constitution is brought in contact with the forehead of an intellectual person by touching it with the hands, or by placing the fore headsof both in contact with each other, hia intellectual faculties become highly excited, and this excitement is greater in proportion to the intensity of the intellectual functions in ihe person touched. If, instead of touching the intellectual organs, ihe fingers are placed on thoso parts of the brain which control the various physiological functions of the body, these functions, in like maimer, will become powerfully excited and thus it will be practicable to modify the circulation, respiration, digestion, muscular smpgtb, calorification, perspiration, Ac, by the influence received from the brain of the person touched. Dr. B.

remarked that alter establishing these pro. positions experimentally, which would show the rationale of the neurological diagnosis, ne wouia eni desvor to show that one of this impressible constitution might be taught to touch the head in oh a maun, aa not to be carried away uy any particular excitement, but to feci and estimate correctly the ti act character of tne innucnce received irom cacn point. Thus by touching the cerebral organs which preside over the functions of the stomach, it wruid be ascertained whether the digestive action is vigo rous or feeble, and whether it transmits a healthy or morbid influence. Dr. B.

proposed to conduct the Lioenments bv visitine. at their residences, such ims pressible persons as could De touno, ana experiment ing upon tnem at nome. At mis juncture, However, a innns ladv of about 20 years cf see. who had re cently become a patient ol Dr. B's, made her appear ance to receive further prulcssior.al aid.

Dr. tl. re marked that tins waa a fortunate circumstance for as the young lady poesessed nearly the highest de. gree ot impressiouny, she would be a very appropri ate subject for experiment, more especially as bcr health waa now sutficienily restored to bear ths va nous excitements. The first experiment consisted in her placing sev eral fingers on the organ of caior.hcatioa in the per' son of Dr.

Jotrn, when arte very soon exctaimeo 1 1 feel the warm rushing over mt At the same time she uhkhA her hand instinctively over her face and when aked ibo cause of that movement, she remarked that she had leu a a ignt tlusb there. In the next experiment, our subject applied her Cnger, in Dr. to a spot intermediate to the eye, the nose ana tne nruw. wneic lucuuicuumiisis nave i xu A the organ ol lorm. he function of this orean.

according Dr. system, ia to adant the eves to darkness ana to renaer tnem mcai psbleot enduring tne ngui wunout pain, ine nrat effect observed after her finger had been in contact a few momenta, was tnat she closed tier eves and sheltered them wun her bands, turning ber head away in a manner which indicated that the operation was unpleasant. Dr. B. having again placed her finger on tlie same spot, whilst she continued to shelter her eyes with the other hand, she ag sin drew in toe same manner, eaiimlaiiiina ot a sensa lion oi neat and pain in the eyes, as trriaico.

07 sand. She complained of the light, and would not allow her eyes tubs uncovered a moment, notwmi standing inerootn was soaarx 11 oemst F. Ia. that it soon became necessary to ngni rtnnf kr ri wa ml nlaCed OO there' of the former organ a region which dinnnuhes the sensibi ity of ih. ih.m ihe nower of endurance.

1 Under this influence, she soon removed her hand of for ry ne si a from her eyes, tfadually opened them, sad remarked that they now fit cool. Her fingers vers next placed on tha organ in front of the ear of D. which excites the functions of digestion. Ins sew momenta she withdraw bar hsnd, saying bat she fait a taint, sinking sensation ber stomach as tf from the want of ktoi and being asked by Ir. J.

whether she Celt any desire for food, she replid that she did slightly. Io the next Mace ber fingers were put upon a por lion of the Orfan 01 usspirauon in er. or ooon ne raised net nana to ne upper pan 01 ner cnest. with the exclamation I feel a nun ot blood bare, expanding the lungs." In recording ber language, we may here remark, tnat, aitnougn no great import lance can be attached to the particular expressions of one entirely unacquainted with anatomy and physre O'Ogy, ytt that the nature of the sensation which she uescrirtcs would indicate to tbe physiologist tho character ae well as the locality of the effect produs ced. According to the theory of Dr.

tbe thiTerent portions of the organ of inspiration affjet different parts of the chest, the lower part of the organ affect ing me lower pan oi in chest, and producing tha greatest depth of in. piratioB. wl.il.t tha higher and intermediate portions of the organ, influence the cots responding parte of the chest. As we observed, in tbia instance, that her fingers were on the upper part the organ, we noticed the coincidence that aha re ferred tbe expansion of the lungs to the upper part of the chest. Dr.

B. now remarked that in otteratuu mwn the benefit of her health, be bad found it necessm to excite some ofthe various functions upon, which had jat been operating bclore tne committee and that it was possible, she entertained some rec oll.clion ofthe localities at which the vanocu effects bad been produced. Tbe effects now induced were precisely such as when tbe experiments were first tneu ana ne tucn proposed showing some eiperi. menu, in which the committee would perceive that upon the fit trial of an experiment, without the gniesi Knowledge 01 the intended eflect, the results would be as complete, distinct, and positive, aa at any subsequent renctitMn. He nrotmsed la nroduoa other i fleets, such as hid never befjre been produced 111 her, and of which she could consequently not ivo uuy eoiieeiiuun.

Placing her fingers on the head of Dr. in the region immediately anterior to alimeriMversesa, in a few moments her eyes became do wetlst snd the ex pressiouof her countenance rather blank 1 her hand dropped from the head of Dr. J. and rested on his shoulder in an indolent manner. Her pulae was found to be veak and soft, and beating 78 in a minute, and manifestly growing softer.

When her hand was placed jpon the upper part and near the middle, of the panes I bone of the head of Dr. there was an immediate change in the expression of hereoun lens nee, which became more animated, the pulae became harder and stronger, beating 61 in a minute. There was most obviously a striking increase of aa evinced by eh tiie of her arms, and by expressions reference to her desire assd csspabibty of taking exercise. These effects were certainly very appropriate illustrations of the character ot there, giona which she had touched, the former of which waa that of indolence and relaxation, and the latter energy and tonicity. The physiological and corporeal effects, according to the system of Dr.

are connected with the mental phenomena and the object ofthe preceding experiments waa chiefly to illustrate tho former. In tbe next experiment tbe cerebral action seemed to be entirely deranged. One of the cerebral organs, according to the system of Dr. produces a violent and irregular excitement, which is incompatible with regular and correct action of the mental faculties and which, when carried to exceea, produces, atr solute insanity. Her fingers were now placed upon two points ofthe head of Dr.

and allowed to remain about ten seconds in contact. An evident effect waa produced. Her manner evinced exatementi and when nrged to describe tbe effect, she said it was very disagreeable and depressing that she seemed to be actuated by an ugly and lying disposition," and felt as if she wished to write a deep black lie," of hich she would heraell be the heroine. Her finger were now replaced on the same points, when similar effects were, immediately produced, bat in a higher degree. She soon withdrew her finger, with the remark that she would make "a first rata heroine 1" and began to speak, in a sudden, disconnected and impulsive manner of what she could accomplish A few expressions may be given as specimens of her "I will write a book." said she, "I will beat the 'Arabian Nights' all to piec I'll beat Dorathd guace I am as much superior to her" the sentence here breaking etl abruptly, bhe wss ssked whether she would publish in tbe "New or "Brother Jonathan, to which she replied indignantly, 'I twill be a book by itself it will be bound 10 red morocco She was asked whether she would allow Dr.

Buchanan to add a postscript to ber book to which aha replied "No, never the people will say that tha girl is a fool to let Dr. B. write in her book. Ha is as much below me aa I am above Dorathilgoase. I'll even beat Fanny Wright I'll trample her under foot," at the same time stamping on the floor.

After some moments of raving in the same general style, Dr. B. took hold of her hsnd and placed it on the head of Dr. J. (near whom ahe was standing,) in the region of sanity, cautiousness, consctentiousnees and tranquility, when she immediately turned away and hid ber lace aa if overwhelmed with shame, ahe be ing now restored and having an indistinct recollec lion of her ridiculous conduct.

In this experiment ihe organs first touched were those of insanity and ideally, the latter of which was no doubt the cauae of her literary ambition a feeling entirely foreign to ber natural character. Tbe text which wss designed to in crease tbe etreng'h of the muscular ay stem, was tried by bringing her hand in contact with the back, part of the head of Dr. Gnscora. The organ of muscularity, as it is termed by Dr. Bn lies in the midst of tbe most exciting, cruel, quarrelsome and violent passions.

As the muscular impulse and pugnacious propensity are thus so closely connected. Dr. B. excited them in conjunction by placing ber hand in the region of pugnacious energy in Dr. G.

This experiment was made twice successively, touching each time upon portions of tbe head contained within an area OI about two luetic uuuieici. Ou each oc cas.on, the effects were very exciting and similar, presenting, however, some perceptible d.fl rence. Io the first instance, Dr. B. asked "How does that work?" to which ahe replied, energetically: "Humph how does that work 11 think you ought to be horse whipped I'd like to strike you," with her hands raised up, aa if ready to execute tbe threat.

Dr. B. having now placed his band on tbe moral region of her head, she was promptly pacified, and showed some shame. Her hand was placed again upon the occiput of Dr. Gn when similar results immediately followed.

She exclaimed, addressing herself to Dr. B. ''Don't come near me I am afraid I shall you down hanging is too good lor you ur' nw restored hei in the same mauuer as before. The experiment was once more repeated, when Dr. B.

asked the patient bow she no felt. To this, sho replied "Vou ask mc how I feci would you like to try my strength 1" thrusting her fist at the same tune into the lace of Dr. B. She was now, however, prevailed upon to try her strength, by grasping the hand of Dr. which she squeezed so poweiluily aa to compel him to use both of his in resistance, ho being a vigorous man and she a feeble woman.

From th ia excitement ahe was restored to her natural state, and then persuaded to grasp his hand again with her ntmoet strength, but her exertion seemed not to) be comparable to what ahe bad formerly displayed. Experiments were lastly made to show what effect could be produced on the circulation, by the excitement of the different organs. According to the doc trines of neurology, every variety cf pulae, as well as every function ot tbe body, is connected with soma particular form of cerebral excitement. Stimulating any cerebral organ would, therefore, produce the exact species of pulse which the orgsn excited necessarily induces. Her fingers were placed on the organ of calorification in the head of Dr.

and some excitement of the circulation was noticed but as her fingers were still held on the same spot until Ihe excitement became oppressive, the pulse became feeble Her fingers were then changed to the organ of refrigeration, which produces coldness bv arresting the development of heat. The first effect of this chsnge seemed to be restorative, as the pulae became stronger and more natural but it waa continued till she complained ot chiilnesa, the puise again iwaiiis feeble. This condition bemg distinctly perceived by the several members of the committee, who made frcauentand almost constant examinations, Dr. B. observed, that he would now show that he could in vigorate the pulse, and bun it up its natural strength.

He placed his hands on tne upper ana back part of the head of his patient and the pulae, in a few moments, rose as reported by Drs. G. and but assumed a tense and almost wiry cuauacuar. Dr. B.

now remarked that he could change thie tense wire milae In a full and soft one. lacing Ous hands on ihe fmnt nart nf her head, the result follOWW ed in a few moments, the pulse being palpably fuller and softer. Tbe pulse was again maae lensc, oy placing bis bands on the occiput and again made eoft, by placing them on ihe upper fore part of tho head. At each variation ol tne character 01 umc puict 11a In niienrv varied from six In ten bealS a minutes but the numerical results were not recorded at tho time, aa tbe obiect of Dr. B.

waa merely to show that the various states ol pulse, as tun or email, an' relaud, mhisb lodieaic ttse vaiaJUS slates 01 user system, produced by the various conditions of the brain, and that the artificial excitements 01 ine cerebral organs by touch, are as real in their nature, and as material in their effects, aa any excitements pro duced in the usual course of nature by moral or physical causer. In all tha axperisaents in which the poise waa concerned, the cloaaet attonttoa waa given to the subject by Drs. Ur.acem snd Joslin. each having hold sos of her wneta. ailst the nam her tat beau was aeteraaiura sj aawsa a a watch with a second hand.

Thi Wild Wow aw. It will perhaps be re colled that about a year and a half ago, tbe St, Lou is papcts gave an account of a woman who had been discovered in the woods near that city, al most naked and apparently quite wild. It appears that she had lived in this manner until lately, when the seventy of the winter drove her to a human habitation, and there, being much ex hausted fur want food and badly frost bitten tha expired. Previous to ber death she became quite rational and gave the following account of herself which we condense from the St Louis Organ. She was born in rvew Jersey, whence with ber parents she bad removed to Cincinnati, where they lived until she grew up to womanhood.

A young man whom ber father did not like paid nis auurea sea to her and they eloped for St. Louis. At Lou isville he persuaded ber to take lodgings with mm as his wife, promising to go with her to a clergyman and get married ia the morning. He left her in the morning to go for a minister and never returned. All day she remained almost distracted with fear lor the safety of her lover, whom she could not think bad abandoned her, but finally she learned that he had taken a boat going down the river in the morning.

The shock to her feelings was so great that abe fainted and fell tn the st reef. She waa taken up by some kindly disposed person who, as soon as she recovered, paid her passage back to Cincinnati. Her heait almost tailed her as ahe approached her homo. She could see her father's residence as the boat passed along tbe river, and it was her mention to go directly home, and throw herself upon the mercy of her father and mother, and tell them how she bad been deceived. On approaching the door ofthe dwelling, there appeared to an Js A i t' 'I.
