NEW SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.--The Daily Philadelphia Pennsylvanian says:
"Professor Robert Remak, of the Royal University of Berlin, Prussia, has recently submitted to the French Academy of Science (Institut Imperial de France) some highly interesting details respecting his wonderful discovery in applying galvanic currents to the nervous and muscular system, as a therapeutic agent. As he is a regular physician of twenty years' standing, all suspicion of charlatanism is entirely out of the question. He commenced his studies and investigations in reference to this agent as long ago as 1835, and has at last brought the matter into a tangible shape--not the galvanic agent aforesaid, but his own researches."
