Stied Tlale. TREATING - A CASE ACTIVELY. PHYSICIAN'S STORY, Hy John Jane's, Af. I was once sent for, in great baste, to attend a gentleman of respectability ; whose wile, a Ipdy of intelligence and refinement, had discovered him in his room lying ?enseless upon. the.floor. ' 'On arriving at the house, I found Mrs. H. in great of mind. What is the matter with Mr. H.!" I asked, on meeting his lady, who was in tears and looking the picture of distress. " I'm afraid it is apoplexy," she replied. " I found him lying upon the floor, where he had to all appearance fallen suddenly from his chair.— His face is pin" and though he breathes, it is with great difficulty." I went up to see my patient.' He had been lifted from the floor and was now lying upon the' bed. Sure enough his face, was purple, and his breathinglaboted, but somehow the symptoms did not indfcate apoplexy. Every vein . in: his head and face was tinged, arid he lay perfectly stupid, but still I saw nu clear indications of nn actual or approaching congestion the brain. " Hadn't he better he t'iled, Doctor ?" asked the anxious wife. .1 don't knew that that is necessary;' I replied,. thiok.if %%0 let him alone it will 1 ass off in the course of a few boors." A few . hours He. may die in half tin holm!' I don't think the case is En dangeYOUS, OM darn." ' 4• Apoplexy not dangerous !" •• I hardly think it a - poplexy," I replied. • Pray what do you 'hink it is, Doctor 1" , Airs.ll. looked anxiously .in my face. I delicately 'hinted that he might, possibly, have been drinking too. s much brandy, but to this she positively and almost indignantly objected. 44 No, Doctor, I ought to know about that," she said. " Depend upon it'the disease is more deeply seated. lam sure he had better be bled. Won't you bleed him, Doctor? A few ounces of blood taken from his arm may give life to the now stagnant circulation of blood iii his veins." Thus urged, 1, after come reflection s ordered El bow! and bandage, and opening a vein, from which the blood flowed freely, relieved him•of about eight ounces of his circulating medium. But he'Still lay as insensible as before,. much to the distress of his poor wife. " Something else must be done, Doctor," she urged, seeing that bleeding had accomplished noth ing. If my husband is not quickly relieved be must die." By 'this time, several friends end relatives, who had been'sent for, arrived, and ureed'upon me the adoption of, some more 'active means for re storing the sick man to consciousness. One pro posed mustard plasters all over his body, another a blister on the head, another his immersion in hot water. I suggested that it might do well to use a stomach pump. • Why, Doctor?" asked one of his friend's. Perhaps he has taken some drug." I replied. " Impossible, Doctor," said the wife. " lie has not been home to..day,and,lhere is no drug of any kind in the house."- , 4 No `brandy 1" I ventured the suggestion again. "No, Doctor 1 . No -spirits ;of tiny kind; nor even wine in the house," returned Mils. H., in an offended tone. - . I Wel not the regular family, physician, and had been culled to meet the alarming emergency be cause my office happened to be nearest to the dwelling of h1r. , 1 - 1. reeling my po.ition to be a difficult one, I suggested that the' family physician had better be called. "But thp delay, doctor," urged the friends. " No harm will result from it, be assured," I re.. plied. . • But my words did not assure them.. However, 'as I was firm in my resolution not to do anything more for the patient until- Doctor S. came, they had to submit. I wished to make a call of impor tance in the neighborhood'and proposed going, to be back by the time Doctor S. arrived ; but the friends of the sick, man would not suffer me to leave the room. When Doctor 8. came, we conversed aside for a few minutes, end I gave him my views of the case,-and,stated what I had done and why I bad done it. We then proceeded to the bedside of onr patient. There were still no signs of air. proschingconscionsness. ' Don't you think his head ought to be shaved, and blistered!" asked the wife. anxiously. • , Doctor S. thought ' a moment, and th en 'said: • I es, by all means. Send fOr n barOer ; and idao for "a fresh fly blister, four inebeiby nine." By Samuel Lows,- AVETAN£ ! 'looked into the face of Doctor S; with surprise. He was perfectly grave and earnest. I hinted to him my doubt of the good thst mode of treatment would do. But he spoke'confidently of the result, and said that it would not only - Cure the disease, but he believed take away the predisposition there to with which Mr. H. was affected in a high de gree. The barber came. - The head of Mr. H. was shaved ; and Doctor S. applied the blisker with his own hands, which completely covered the Scalp from forehead to occiput. Let it remain on for two hours, and then make tire of the ordinary dressing;" sai4,-D_octor 8. .4 If he should not recover during the action of the blister, don't feel uneasy. 'Sensibility will he restored soon after." I did not call again, but I heard from Dr. S. the result. After we left, the friends stood anxiously around,, the bed upon which 'the sick man lay : but though . the blister began to draw, - no signs of returning consciousness 'showed 'themselves, further than an occasional low moan, or at nneasy ,ossing of the arms. For'two full hours the 'burning plaster parched the tender skin of. H.'s shorn head, and was then removed.. It' had done good. service. Dressings were then applied; repeated andre -peated again ; but still the sick man lay in a 'deep stupor. "It has done no good. Hadn't we better send for the Doctor I" 'suggested the wife. Just then the eyes of H. opened, and he looked with half stupid surprise from face to faCe of the anxious group that surrounded the bed. "What in the mischief's the matter I" he at length said. At the same time feeling a strange sensation about his bead, he placed his hand rath er heavily thereon. , • "Heavens and earth I". He was now fully in his senses. " Heavens and earth What ails my head I" "For mercy's sake keep quiet," said the wife, the glad tears gushing over her face. "You have been very . There,- there, now!'' And she spoke soothingly. "Don't: say a • word ; but lie :very still." t • • "Unruly head! What'S the matter with my head. It feels as if scalded. Where's my hair I Heavens andi earth, ,Sarah! I don't understand this. And my arm? . What's my arm tied up in this way for ?". "Be quiet, my dear husband, and explain it all. Oh, be very quiet. Your life depends upon it !" Mr. H. sunk back upon the pillow from which he bad arisen, and closed his eyes to. think. He put his hand to his head, and felt it tenderly, all over, from temple to temple, and from nape to forehead !" = • • "Is it a blister 1" he at length asked. „ t‘t t “Yes, dear. You have been very ill. feared for your life," said Mrs. H. - affectionately. "There have been two physicians in attendance." H. dosed his eyes again.. His lips moved.— Those nearest were not much edified by the whis pered wordOhat issued therefrom, They would have sounded very strangely in a church ; or to ears polite and refined: After this he lay for some time quiet. "Threatened with apoplexy; T suppose ?" he then said. interrogatively. "Yes,tdear," replied his wife. "I found you lying insensibly upon the floor on happening to ' come into veer room. Itwas moat Providential that I disc;Vered you when I did, or .you would certainly have died." 5 - H. shut hie:eyes and muttered something, with an air of impatience. But its mean'ng was not understood t Finding t him nut of danger, friends and rela tives retired, and the sick min was left alone with his family. 1 - "Sarah !,' he laid,-"why ill Heaven's name, did you permit the Doctors tohutcher me in this way 1 I'm laid up fur a, week or two, and all for nothing?' ' _ I "It was to eve your life, deer. ' . • , "save the d—!" "Hu-s.h ! There ! Do, for t Heaven's sake! be quiet. Everything depends upon it." " With a gesture of impatience, H. shut his eyes, teeth, and hands, and lay perfectly „still foe some minutes. 4'Fhen he turned his face to rho wall, muttering in a (ow, pethlent veide. • "Too ba l d ! Too bad ! Trio bad !" :I had nit erred in my first andmy last inres sions of Itis,diseasto. neither hail Dr. S.-although used a 'verriexraordinary !mode of treatment. The facts of the case were these.: - H. had a weakness._ He coutilti't taste Wine or strong drink witholbeing tempted into excess. Both himself and friends were mortified and grieved 'at4his; and. they, by admonition, and ho try gOod Msolutions; - tiied to biting about a reform. But, to see was to taste, to taste was to fall. At last, his friends urged him to shut himself up at home for a certain time, and See if total abstinence would not, give him strength. He got on pretty well for a few days,particularly en, es his coach man kept a welt filled bottle for. him in the car riage-bout°, to which he not unfrequently resort ed ; but a too ardent devotion to this bottle brought on the supposed apoplexy. - Doctor, S. was right in his mode of treating the disease after all, and did not err in supposing that it would each the predisposition. The cure was effectual.'- H. kept quiet on ithe subject, and bore his shaveAl head upon his sheulders, with as much philosophy as could muster, A wig, after the sores made by the blister disappeared, conceal ed the 'barber's work until his own hair. grew Again. He never ventured ipun wine or bra:edy again for fear of apoplexy. When the truth leaked out, as leak out such things always will, the friends of H. had nanny, a hearty lau.th ; but they wisely concealed from the eliect of their merriment the fact that they 'knew anything more than appeared of the cause of his supposed illness.—(Saluediiy Evening.
