Curious Mental Phenomena
Under the above heading the current
number of The Revue Rose publishes an
interesting summary of an account re-
cently communicated to the Societetde
Biologie by M. Fere, and in which aro
embodied some of his experiences of the
effect of ether on persons at the point of
death. It is a well known fact that the
dying aro often able to see the principal
facts of their lives, -which otherwise have
been forgotten for many years, clearly
and accurately before them. Tho reason
for this clairvoyance Mr. Fere ascribes to
a sudden modification of the cerebral
circulation, which can also be brought
.about by artificial means. Thus he tells
of a case of a patient who was dying of
consumption. Ho hail already lost con-
sciousness, when, having been revived
