ON the mornings of Friday and Saturday, August 23rd and 24th, several physicians and scientific men, amongst whom were Professors Virchow, Grainger Stewart, Turner, Oscar Liebreich, Ray Lankester, Dr. Broadbent, Mr. Ernest Hart, etc., who happened to be in Paris, met in Professor Charcot's wards in the great hospital of La Salpetriere, and had the privilege of being present at a demonstration in which this distinguished physician brought under their notice all the remarkable features of hystero-epilepsy-that remarkable disease almost all our knowledge of which is due to the labours of M. Charcot. In these demonstrations, the remarkable influence of solenoids and of magnets upon the diseased organism was exhibited, no less than the ready induction of the so-called mesmweric and cataleptic conditions in these patients. All the phases of the remarkable hystero-epileptic convulsions were repeatedly observed. Such was the interest awakened by these remarkable demonstrations, that I have willingly complied with the request of the editor of the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL-who was himself an interested spec. tator-to give an account of the principal facts which were brought under our notice on the occasion of the second demonstration. In order that the description of these facts may be the more intelligible to those who are unacquainted with even the salient points in the natural history of hystero-epilepsy, I will summarise these briefly,
