DEATHS - if anyone finds a death listed here, it would be a good idea to
check with me for any other details that might come to hand. Deaths through
accidents, or those resulting in an inquest, may have additional material in
the paper. In addition, auctioneers' advertisements for sales relating to
deceased estates can sometimes yield quite detailed lists of the late
person's possessions.

drawn to the Parish Church, Aldeburgh, to witness the marriage ceremony of a
deaf and dumb couple. The bridegroom was Mr James William HARDY,
photographer, of this place, and the bride was Miss Hannah SIMMONDS, a
bookbinder, from London.The necessary questions and answers were put and
returned in writing, and the entire ceremony was gone through with an
occasional sign made by the fingers. Not only were the principals deaf and
dumb, but the bride's groomsman and the bridesmaid and also the two young
gentlemen who attended the wedding as witnesses. The father of the lady and
the uncle of Mr HARDY were present, the only persons of the wedding party
blessed with the faculties of speech. The infliction in the case of both
bride and bridegroom resulted from illness.

The Anaesthetic Spray Producer
A very ingenious apparatus somewhat on the principle of the toy for
dispensing Eau de Cologne in the form of vapour, has recently been contrived
by Dr Benjamin RICHARDSON for the purpose of producing what is known to the
medical profession as "anaesthesia," and by the uninitiated as "numbness."
Dr
RICHARDSON uses his apparatus for the purpose of producing local
anaesthesia, previous to performing a surgical operation, and he has been
remarkably successful in many cases. The spray of ether is, for instance,
applied to the gums before extracting a tooth, and the tooth becomes as
white as the tooth itself in less than a minute, and quite insensible. So
successful is this method in extracting teeth that the Doctor speaks of
extracting four teeth in one case, without the patient experiencing any
pain, and without the loss of a drop of blood. The apparatus has been
procured by Mr H. LYON, of Ipswich, and that gentleman intends to make use
of it in his dental practice. The great point in favour of the new method of
local anaesthetics is the fact that the reaction is in no degree painful,
and its use is by no means prejudicial to the health of the patient, as is
sometimes the case with the use of chloroform.
