In the chalk bluff, more than forty feet from high-water mark, is the vertebr� of a whale distinctly outlined.

He once dislocated the vertebr� of his back and other parts of his body, in such a manner, that Molins, the famous surgeon, before whom he appeared as a patient, was shocked at the sight, and would not even attempt his cure.

These spinal pains are always aggravated by pressure made on either side of the spinous processes of the vertebr�, and, like the cephalic pains, are more or less mitigated by revulsive applications.

Our own experience would lead us to conclude that in the more sthenic cases scarified cups, applied to the nape of the neck and along the cervical vertebr�, are of essential service in mitigating—and generally, indeed, in wholly removing—the neuralgic pains which form so prominent and severe a symptom in many cases of this disease.

They were enabled to satisfy themselves of the existence of glandular enlargement—adenopathie bronchique—in nine of their eighteen cases by percussion practised in the method of M. Geneau de Mussy,22 who was the first to call attention to the importance of percussing the spinous processes of the vertebr� over the course of the trachea.
