A New Method of Resuscitation

♦■■— Recent observation by M. Laborde on fourteen cases of restoration to life by rhythmic traction of the tougae shows that one and a-balf hourt of the treatment may be too short in some cases, and that it would be better, as a rule, not to give it up in despair for at { least three hours, since the vital forces can be latent for that period. An important fact brought out Is that with the older processes of resuscitation one oould not re-establish the respira tory movements when the asphyxia had lasted for more than five or six minutes; but with traction of the tongue persons who have been under water for thirty or forty minutei can be restored to life.

Cost of Police in London And Paris.

-» —— The London policeman is the cheapest in the world. He coats only £97 a year, while his Parisian brother coats £140. London spends £1,060,000 yearly in police protection, in othsr words, every inhabitant pays on an average sixty eight pence and three farthings. Paris spends £100,000 more than London for her bolice, and is not nearly so well protected. Her police bill averages out: at 122 pence per inhabitant, or nearly twice aj much as the citizen of London has to pay. Twenty nine policemen look after every 10,000 Londoner*, and they only arrest 210 of their flock every year. It takes thirty nine policemen to watch over the same number of F* iaiane, 1066 of whom get arrested every year.

New Zealanders in China.

■' # 1 The Wellington correspondent wires'. — Quite a number of New Zealandera have friends and relatives in various treaty ports in China. Mr Stptt, of the Natonal Banki has a sister in Shanghai, She is the wife of the manager of the insurance company there Mr Joynt also has a sister in the same locality, via:., at Hang-chow, some distance to the south. She is a missionary under Bishop Moule, There is a considerable European population in Shanghai, but it is doubtful if they would be able to resist; any sudden rising. 4""

Napoleon in St. Helena.

C- " • At St. Helena Napoleon had a suite of thirty persons witb twelve personal attendants. He had an allowance of £12,000 per annum for his household expanses, and an area of twelve miles round his dwelling within which he might ride and walk at pleasure. Got* side these limits be must be accompanied by a British officer. Napoleon regarded himself under these conditions as a sort of Early Christian martyr, a peosiva sufferer, hated for his virtues by a wicked world; and ha filled the can of mankind with his laments and protests. He employed the most audacious rhetoric to describe his "sufferings." He told Lady Malcolm, "I have worn the Imperial crown of France, the Iron crown of Italy. England has now given me a greater and a more glorious than either of them ; for it is that worn by the Saviour of the world—the crown of thornsl" As a matter of fact, the " grievances " of Napoleon, when read at this distance of time, seem absurd. They constitute not so much a tragedy as a farce. The world is asked to weep over the manner in which his shirts were washed, or were not washed : the length of time he had to wear his old coats; the quantity of wine—only one wretched bottle per head p?r day—allowed to his servants: the style of the iron railings erected round Longwood, &c. The manufacture of grievance! became a fine art. Napoleon had his plate, orpart of it, broken up, and the intelligence sent to Europe to illustrate the poverty under which he suffered—with only £12,000 a year from the packers of the British 'axpuyfrß hs his allowance. H« had some of hia noata turned to yive uh ide* of iho "' nights to which his wardrobe was nduo-'d He accused the unfortunate Hudson Lowe, Governor of St Helen*, of every crime, from stealing hia milk to attempting his life. That the English Governor tried to po'son Napoleon or to hire some one else to poison him was a tale diligently circulated, "We don't be« , lievo it ourselves." Count Hontholon said indiscreetly to a friend; "but it is always well to say so."

In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the PrussianGovernmenb to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 52, 1878, we fcate:— It is proved by tests by the Medical Client of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, andreported by Dr. Sohnlz.Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dre Mossier, Director »f the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, thai) only products that are saturated with oxygen ajd freed of aoids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plan, All crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named Authorities, among the turpendines, which <tre abandoned long since aB an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, ate discernible:— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalyptl Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through tne presence ai aoids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendenoy of resins and tennates. if these crude oils, bo-c lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista :e in oases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
