XS sty 2 'THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, SEIMITMBER, 23, 1874, LOCAL MISCELLANY. A MARVELOUS OURE. Tho surgieal profession fs looked upon by thoto unintorested in its triumphs l\'lt‘h Bomo- thing liko a feclingof foaror disgust, Thosight of tho glitterlug knives, saws, and probes, with thelr {hin odges rondy for use on tho human riotl, is move likely to {nspir a shuddor than to givo rise to nny ploasant roflectionn or sug~ gestions [n tho mind of tho novico. When tho romance of thia profession comos to Lo writton, Liowavar, 1t will contain tho dotails of mang in- cldonts {n tho grent and humano art of enving 1ifo and limb that will onat into the shade the of- forta of romancors, and, it ls Lo bo hoped, may go far towards disporsiug tho faolish notion that knowledgo of onv’s own body and disoases is sometbing to bo shunned and avolded, Without, dwoltinz on his projudice, however, an inoldont giving somo proof of the wondorful power the skillfnl physician is loarning to oxoré wvor diseaso may bo givon, About tho 1at of Inst Mny COL. ADNER TAYLOW, & well-known citizon of Chleago, was takon slck with whut he supposed to bo a rhenmatic attack. 1Mo had eovers Lmln» in his knoo-jolnt, hip, and hioad, on tho right sido of his body, and hus suf- forings wore o great that lio taok Lo e bed and ealled in o doctor. This gentloman concurred in hia opinion, and commonced treating him for rhonniatism, stnting that it would prabably cou- fino him to Lis bed for gomo time. Tho puin was graduully ralioved from tha sidaaf the Lody, in tho courss of this treatment, but that which afllicted tho hend ecemod to becomo mora ucuto aud unboarable day by day, unti! it deprived him of rost or slocp by day or night, aud, beforo tho begiuningof Augist, Col. Taylor had lost 45 pounds in welght, aud lus Liair on tho efdo aflicted had TORNED WIHNTE. : Dy this Limo ho hnd takon an immonszo quantity of medicino, and his nervoua kystem was entiro- Iy, aud appacontly hopelossly, shnttored. From Jm groat and henrty figure of a man so woll kuown nbout town, Lo bocamo n gaunt and trambling skeleton of his formor solf, too weak to holp himself, and, 38 ho lad recoived no ro- liof to hig intonso agony, fated, without doubt, to dio without even fimuwhl; tho causo of Lin afictton. Iu all his pnin and agony, this grow to ba a torrible thought, and ho &t longih re- golved, como what might, to try sBome change. Il physicians, for he bad now called in vovoral, rondity agraed to thie, cud o ho TOOK TIHE BOAT TO MACKINAW, Here, instond of improving, the cool atmosphore soemed Lo add to tho pain, and at longth, by tha advico of Judgo David Davis, whom ho mot thero, nud othors of s frionds, ho_resolved to 0 to Now York and put himself under charge of . Hammoud. — Arriving in Now Yorl, his firet Dusiness was to mako ru ongagoment for the samo day a 2 o'clock with the ciminent physicin. At tho hour named howas accorded nn intorview, ‘whiich was briof and ta the point. Having statod who ho was and lis trouble, the Dactor asked him several questions, aud thew told him Lo bo- lisvod SOMETIING WAS THE MATTER WITIL HISEAT, “Qould holioar ag woll wits hi 1igbt ear,” '* Yos," M8uro?” “Yes," * Rothing ovor tho muitor with it" “No. After an oxporiment to lost tho action of tho brain, tho Doctoragain roturned to tho charge that thero was something the matior with his ear. Tho Colonol sorrawfully deniad this, and folt hopeless, ~ “ I will provo it to you,” £nid tho Doctor ; and, by holding his watch to lis car and gradually removing it, ho convincad him that ho could honr 4 feet from Lim on tha loft side, and only 3 fact on tho right. 8o horo it 1, said the Doctor, and, taking his paticnt into_a darkencd room, with tho uid of & inicrascopo ho soon conviuced himself that thero waa somothing growlng to tho insido of tho oar, which hiad pressed upon tho norves of tho brain ond was alrendy causing puralysis, Threo days more sud his patient would havo 10 uso for hig services. 1lo wounld ho beyond all humen aid. But tho ear could not be touched with thoe probo until it was softened, and this took time. The noxt morning tho patient's tongue was paralyzed, and hung uscloss from the right sido of his mouth, Hocoull not eat. ‘o end was certainly drawing near. That sfiernoon the surgeon reeofved to attempt tho task bofore him, that of cutting away from tho immediate prox- imity of the bram, and from the midst of tho norves and mueclos that lead to it, and far in tho fnnor chumbor of tho ear, tho_foreign sub- slanco that had grown there, and thiestonod doath at any moment, Tlho paiu of such an operation could not be borno, go that part of tho hond was otherizod or doadened by anesthetios, and with an_oxquisitely delicate knifo, crooked at tho end, the ear wau onterad, and A DIECE OF IARD GRIZALE the full eizo of a hickorynut waa finally ro- movad, in two parts, withont cutling the éar in tho least, and without sensiblo }mm. This griz- zlo, upou microscopic examination, proved to bo a buudle of nerves, and the case and_trentmont aro belioved to be without poratlel, It had Lioen growity for doveral years, sud had almost fouched & vital part, and, as disclosed, had al- paratyzed tho tongue. With its romoval Taylor rapudly recovaroed, and is now at tho Grand Pacific Hofel ina fair way of evjoying many yoars of lito in which to bo thanktul for iy almost wmiraculous oseape. —_——— INSURANCE NEWS. THE NEW FIRE ORDINANCE, The action of the Common Couucil in 8o promptly passing tho new fira ordinaneo last Monday ovening has mado a vory good improg- sion amoug the insurance compames. Thoy uow ‘believo that tho Council will substantially com- ply with tho demnnds of tho National Doard, and that thoro will bo no ne- ceagity for thoir withdrawing, Dut, oven ghould they withdraw, tho matter would not be hall og serious for tho city as was antlcipatod.

It is true, howover, that the run on thosa outsido companica bns ceuscd thom to fill up their lines to such an oxtont that, in cnso of A vory largo conflagration, thoy would hardly bo ablo to pay all their lossoss, "I'ho disposition among tho Board companics, a8 statod boforo, i to stay horo aud reduco their rates again to the old stzadard. ‘Tho now rates do not worl at all, as the merchants refuso Lo pay them, and prefor to_insure elsowhore, But very littlo businoss hns boon done by tho Board compavics during tho last month, and they nught f\lst as well withdraw entirely s to Ineist® upon tho new schodule of ratcs.
