A Remarkable Trade.
Perhaps the most remarkable trade in the world i 3 that of Frau Gelby, a nurse in D.r Schnitzler's Tbroat Hospital at Vienna, whose . chief means of livelihood - and it is a handsome one— arises from the exn treme insensitivenesa of her throat. She lets herself out to. budding me dicos as a subject upon which they may practice * manipulations of the throat and vocal organ 3. She can open her throat in such a manner that the etudent can actually see the vocal cords, and can practise very delicate experiments thereon, such as painting the sides of the air passage with a camel hair brush, introducing several instruments, and so on. After the embroyo doctor has acquired a certain dexterity, this extraordinary woman half swallows a glass bead, and the student .practises removing it with forceps such an weuld be used in an accidental case. Her confidence in his skill is indicated by the fact that she keeps tight hold of a strong thread attached to the bead. ' People go froiji ill parts of Europe to sttitly this lad.y's head.
