Having at the age-ot—tbirteen sprained his wrist, young Priessnitz intuitively applied it to the pump; and afterward, to continue the relief thus obtained, he bound upon it an Uimschiag, or wet bandage. Rewetting this as it became dry, he reduced theinflammation, but excited a rash on the surface: of'the part. Soog after having crushed hls thumb, he again ‘once more subsided, but the rash reappeared. He inferred that the rash indicated an impure blood; and this conclusion was strengthened by the result of experiments which he was indneed to try upon: injuries and . -aleersinthe case of some of his neigh‘bors, since the rash in-some instances appeared after the treatment; nnd iin others didnot. Thus he wiis led to frame for himsetf a humoral pathology of all diseases, and a doctrine of the elimination of morbific matters by “‘crisis.” According to this view, the cure of diseases is to be effected ‘by favoring the activity of those organs through which the purification of. the system is earriedon, and throngh a regulated and pure dietary and correot regimen, preventing fur-tber morbid accum@iations, In his nineteenth year, being run over bya cart, Priessnitz had some ribs. breken and received severe bruises; on leaning tat the physicians \ pronounced his case hopeless, he tore off their bandages, awd recovered under the renewed applieation of the Nimschlag, aud replaced his ribs by inflating the lungs while pressing the abdomen against a window-sill. This incident confirmed the idea, and initiated the practice of the water-cure.— Appletons’ Cyclopedia, —_-__—SS ere Omcmeonncitiss meres 5 HOTEL. ARRIVALS, National _Ezchange Hotel. Ss. A.

Having at the age-ot—tbirteen sprained his wrist, young Priessnitz intuitively applied it to the pump; and afterward, to continue the relief thus obtained, he bound upon it an Uimschiag, or wet bandage. Rewetting this as it became dry, he reduced theinflammation, but excited a rash on the surface: of'the part. Soog after having crushed hls thumb, he again ‘once more subsided, but the rash reappeared. He inferred that the rash indicated an impure blood; and this conclusion was strengthened by the result of experiments which he was indneed to try upon: injuries and . -aleersinthe case of some of his neigh‘bors, since the rash in-some instances appeared after the treatment; nnd iin others didnot. Thus he wiis led to frame for himsetf a humoral pathology of all diseases, and a doctrine of the elimination of morbific matters by “‘crisis.” According to this view, the cure of diseases is to be effected ‘by favoring the activity of those organs through which the purification of. the system is earriedon, and throngh a regulated and pure dietary and correot regimen, preventing fur-tber morbid accum@iations, In his nineteenth year, being run over bya cart, Priessnitz had some ribs. breken and received severe bruises; on leaning tat the physicians \ pronounced his case hopeless, he tore off their bandages, awd recovered under the renewed applieation of the Nimschlag, aud replaced his ribs by inflating the lungs while pressing the abdomen against a window-sill. This incident confirmed the idea, and initiated the practice of the water-cure.— Appletons’ Cyclopedia, —_-__—SS ere Omcmeonncitiss meres 5 HOTEL. ARRIVALS, National _Ezchange Hotel. Ss. A.
