Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton has brought from Paris a new device for the treatment of nervous diseases. It is a little cherry box, about five inches square, above which project two shafts, one within the other, nave and arm fashion. On each shaft is balanced a black bar nine inches long, an inch wide and a quarter inch thick, edge up. By clock work in the box these ebony arms or bars are made to revolve in op- posite directions. Bix little round mir- rors are placed op each side of each bar. The patient is placed in a chair in a dark room, facing the machine. An electric light, or any bright light, is concentrated on the black arms of the machine by a convex mirror placed be- hind the patient, snd then the arms are set awhirling. The patient watches herd bir} motion and the flash. ing lights operate on the nerves through the eyes. .
