    CASES EXTRACTED FROM or up stairs, produces or increases the palpitations, when she feels feint, and is soon out of breath. Pressure on the second, third, and fourth dorsal vertebras, produces pain, which darts into the stomach ; and pressure on the third, fourth, and fifth lumber vertebras, produees pain, which darts violently into the region of the uterus. Diagnosis. Tubercula of the stomach and uterus. Prescribed mag- netic pills and plaster. Her health soon began to improve, and in six weeks-was fully restored. TUBERCULA OF THEENTERY.AND MESTESINES TIN Tabes Mesenterica and Diarrhoza. Master M. Gk M., of Cincinnati, aged three years. I called to see him, August 25th, 1834. He has an enlargement of the abdomen, and diarrhoea. The disease commenced when he was three or four weeks old, and has continued to this time. . His limbs are very slender, and his muscles soft and flaccid, and his joints appear very large pro- portioned to the size of his limbs. He has five or six tubercles on each side of his neck, some of them very large. Two or three phy- sicians have attended and prescribed for him at different times, without any apparent benefit.

He then commenced the use of the magnetic remedies. Matter was formed in the swelling on the left side, which broke and discharged scrofulous matter six or seven weeks. The ab- scesses then healed, and the swelling, with that on the right side of the neck, entirely disappeared in about six months from the time he com- menced the use of the remedies. His health was then re-established, and has continued good to this time. Sept. 1, 1840. TUBERCULA OF THE JOINTS AND LIMBS In consequence of there being no generally known remedy for tuber- cmla. it is the practice in this country, and in Europe, and in the hospi- tal and country practice, to amputate or cut off the limbs in cases of tubercula, or white swellings of the joints or limbs, whenever the dis- ease is supposed to have advanced so far as to endanger life. The relief in such case is, however, generally very temporary, as the disease is
