A man, admitted into the London Hospital, on occasion of an accident, was seized with trismus, and other sigas of approaching general tetanus. A tobacco injection removed all the symptoms. The ordinary effects of the clyster were so powerfully felt by him, and thence his dread of a repetition of them such, that, on another injection being proposed, with the view of confirming the benefits obtained, he left the Hospital; and went to Mr. Rurwgxroorn, of Ratcliff-Highway, Surgeon: whose report of this man is, that he has not experienced any de- gree of return of spasmodic complaint. Thus the one clyster appears to have effected his cure: a second, unless of much reduced strength, would, probably, have been fatal. �
