The London ' Lancet ' notes a very important new departure in medical science. Dr. de Watteville has been appointed physician at St. Mary's Hospital to the electro-therapeutic department. In other words, the most progressive and successful of the smaller London Hospitals has, after a long struggle, elevated electricity as a medical agent into the sphere of accepted and acknowledged science. The experiments of Dr. de Watteville with electricity were for a long time derided by the medical faculty, but now he is accepted as one of the highest authorities in all nervous diseases. He has been ten years in accomplishing this result.
