WHEN young persons, entering on life, be
come witnesses o f the 1 fferings of their
fpcctes by the fever J difeafs to which human na
ture is daily firmed, it is not to be wondered at
that those of the mod tender and sympathetic feel
i s Ihonld incline to devote them selves to that pro
session whi h promises relief to the miserable. It is
m th to be lamented that the very disposition which
mod eminently fits a man for his business, Ihotild,
in general, tender him very unhappy through the
whole course of it. The humane, compassionate
and haneft physician, when applied to for assistance
in the most grievous case, does not confider whe
ther he is to reap a rich harvest of wealth and lau
rd? for his services, but, simply, whether any
means or measures in his power can be depended
onto remove the disorder. In obstinate chronic
cates, as gout, rheumatifin, hypochondria, &c. he
may expect a full trial of all his virtues and all his
powers ; and too often in the midtt of the best con
duced feene of operations be obliged to quit his
ground with disappointment and difgt ace. The bulk
of regular pra&iuoners, knowing this, generally
leave these captious and unsteady mortals'to their
fate, and of course their complaints are either treat
ed with ne^krif, ridicule, or that faint degree of
tommiferatiou we Lej for ddheffes we cannot re-

SIR,
If )•% think the following lines worthy a place
in your Paper, please to insert them in your next.
" Death, ere thou bast killed another
'' Braise, and wife and good as he !
" Ymefba'l throw a dart as thee." Spen.
WHAT mean those tears, that thus effufive
flow?
Why throws e ch breast with agonizing woe ?
Montgomery's dead ! —a name by all rever'd ;
By patriots lov'd—by dastard t rants fear'd.
For this, did he embark, in Fr edom's cause ! ,
Nobly Supporting ouz expiring laws?
Was it for this he left his native home,
The frozen |ilds of Canada to roam ?
For this he toil'd to execute th. plan.
Which prrv'd the hero—prov'd, too clear, the man !
Alas, too clear !—on Abraham's hapless plain,
Where brave Montcalm arid braver Write were
Slain,
There vi w the wife, the valiant, and the just ;
There Remn greatne's mingles with the duff.
Nomore, to war, the drum or file Shall raise
That head, encircled with imm rtal b.ys!
No more Shall troops, with Roman courage fir'd,
With ardent ✓ I, for Liberty, inspir'd,
Led on by him, embattled hosts engage;
For oh ! he's dead —the hero oft'o age !
When Cato fell, Rome mourn'd toe fatal blow;
Wolfe's death bid Streams of British tears to flow :
Why, then, thould fr- ^mn flop the friendly tear,
Or ever 'doth a weep f r one so dear ?
Oh! nr—fa him, with Sighs, our hofoms heave,
An ! with the bay we now tecyprefs weave.
A'' ohl while valour, vitue, we revere,
O) infucceffu! o^rit A urns a rear,
To brave Montgomer y we that tear will give:
His name with C to, and with Wolfe's Shall live.

Heve. To set these matters on a better footing irt
this count v, I would beg leave to propose a few
leading prm ip'es tithe public consideration, w/ich
well digested hen the mind is found and quiet, will
probably have more influence than the mod learned
l Hare given when racking pain and fretful impa
tience will attend to no fuggeftiohs but these which
assure the inftarit and effectual removal of the com
plaint.
The gout, for instance, is a disease which time
out of mind has been ftikd the disgrace of physici
ans, and indeed with much propriety. I.fcribe its
origin generally, if not invariable, to femptuous
^'d easy living, which renders the solids lax and
delicate, and consequently the fluids crude, indi
gested and fubjett to / chalky concretions. This
would well bear if we considered the sedentary citi
zen as moderately dining and flipping on simple
fare as the active countryman : But seldom is this
the case ! The variety of foods, the refinements of
cookery arid store of inviting liquors with which his
table is furnifhed, incite a much (Longer appetite
for over repletion, than would otherwise obtain.
Such a mixture of contrary and ferm/ntabie fub
ftandes are soon set in adion by the heat, which ra
tifying and expanding the air contained in them,
adds to the diltenfion of the Stomach, already too
much loaded with folidtfobd, and at length destroys
the tone ofits fibres, so that it can never embrace,
grind and expel the aliment as it (hould do in a na
tural and found state. From this error in the firft
conco&ion a multitude of evils are derived. While
the expulfive power of the flomach yet in good mea
sure remains, those great loads of aliment are
driven ^er it's right orifice, much beyond the
power of the digestive juices to attenuate and fit to
part with a well elaborated chyle ; whence a too
great quantity of gross and ill prepared nourishment
is sent into the blopj ; arid this for want of fuita
ole agitation by air and exercif can never be inti
mately joined with the blood, and applied to repair
the waste accruing fror.frthe teveral aHiors of the
system Of course it mu& fl! upon part where
the circulation i< floweftandthe passages most (trait
and difficult. Jaundices, hypochondrias and other
flow, irregular dileafcs, otten teaze the patient for
some months nr perhaps years, before a nal and
evident fit of the not makes its appealance: Nay,
these natural comrades of that fell distemper but
too frequently a companies it thro' the course of a
troublefeme life. But let it be cm fidered that what
I hav€ hitherto set forth is but the very beginning
of sorrow! The fromach, over Stretched with re
pe t<d debauches, at length grows incapable either
to do its own part towards digestion, er to propel
the chyme to the intestines. Hence acrimonies both
acitAand putrid, at least violently rancid, take place,
and all these unnatural Stimulants a.e plentifully
carried Into the habit. It needs no fupernaturafta
lents to die n that such juices must make horrid
ravg p in a ferie§ of tender, and very sensible ves
sels: But 0 relieve the tortured patient from tor-”
ment too keen for expreflion or endurance, Hie labor,
hoc opus est.
Common sense possessed of these fel Cevident pre
mises, will readily determine that diseases proceeding
from accumulation of gross and rancid matter mure
be effectually removed, by an attenuation of that
matter, and calling it out of the system. This is
only to be expected from a judicious application of
the faponaceous mercurial and antiftionial medi
cines, exhibited in such manner as to afr<a theim
pa&ed fluids without too much relaxing the solids.
Anodynes are in like manner necessary, in like man
ner critical in regard to the times and quantities
wherein they are to be taken ; But of all considera
tions belonging to the treatment of these merciless
disorders nor? is mor- important, and none more
eameftly requires the care and judgment of the phy
sician than the removal of the acrid or chalky mu
cilage out of the habit as faft as he dislodges it from
the joints, and gets it into the common road of cir
culation ; as any accident may again coagulate it
and fix it on a part much more essential to vital or
animal motion than that from whence it was re
moved. Consequences of this fort having too often
followed attempts to relieve gouty patients, have
difeour ged the bulk of practitioners from meddling
any further than to use eveuy means in their, power
to throw the morbid matter upon the extremities,
which are gi en up to every degree of torture and
diftortibn that any fall therein. Were the misera
ble Sufferers rendered fade, or Secured by this means
from any future fit attacking the he^d, stomach
or bowels, some fubdantial advantage might be de
rived from the Sacrifice of their limbs ; but lam
certain that those who have been most scrupulously
obtervant of this advice have fared as ill as those
who have taken no such precautions. True it is,,
tin t purging a gouty patient with (alts, or taking
any measures that will chill the firft paffuges, are
always detrimental; and for that reason I ever add
warming remedies to the mercurio-antimonial and
faponaceous medicines, on which, I principally de
pend for the rooting out of this obstinate malady.
Patience, assiduity and a judicious perseverance, is
evidently required where so many and mighty de
rangements are made in the animal economy; and
the patient who applies to a physician in either of
the grievous chronic diseases above mentioned,
fliould confider that no (kill nor attention can search
to the remotest parts of the fyffem, dislodge and
expel great quantities of stagnant matter from
thence, and then recover the loft tone of the relax
ed solids, so as to restore the regular circulation and
secretion of the several fluids, necessary for the
maintainance of the natural, vital and animal
functions, without devoting much pains, time and
attention thereto; and as he regards his life and re
covery he should resolve to avoid the rock upon
which so many have been cast away, namely, the
taking medicine id long as to set the gouty matter
in motion, and then feeling some disagreeable per
turbations from it, difcpntinue his remedies and
let things take their course ; remembering that he
thereby fins against his own life, and perhaps does
an honest and Skillful physician an injury he can
never repair.

The author, for the.Sake of relieving the anxiety
of his friends, maketh the following declaration—
That he fipft intended the above work to have been
published in a furies of letters in the News-papers,
but ¥s dissuaded therefrom, on account of the
impossibility of getting them generally inserted —
That he knew nothing of Robert Bell, who was
engaged to print it by a Gentleman of this city,
and who can but be concerned for the unpleasant
h nation in which he hath, though from a well
meaning motive, involved his friend—That he hath
neither directly, nor indirectly, receiv'd, or is
to receive, any profit or ad vantage whatsoever from
any part of the f d work printed by Robert Bell
— That over and above the expence of printing the
fame, which was to have been paid whether the
work fold or not, he gave to this noisy man one
half the profits thereof, amounting to upwards of
Thirty Pounds, as a ptefent fo rt the .trouble be
might be at, as the author did not intend to take
any on himfelf, or mean to be known ; and that
when the news of our repuhe at Quebec arrived in
this city, he gave tsp the other half, with an order
for the payment thereof, together with Bell's
written promise for the fame, into the hands of
two Gentlemen (whole names are left at the bar of
the London Coffee- house, and who will authenti
cate the assertions contained herein) for the pur
pose of purchasing mittens for the troops ordered
011 that cold c^p^ign.
I'he said Gentlemen have not yet been able to

T O Mr. A NO NYMOU S.
I SUPPOSE you took the field, without tel
'i"^ y° ur anxious friends where you were ru
ing—weak man—they ought to forgive you. Fee
ble author—yourfelf did nor know, that the hum
ble Provedore to the Sentinientalifts was able to
follow.—Neither did you know, that the public
could ddpifingly laugh at the folly of the fofter-fa
ther author, who wantonly, and malicicufly, drag
ged the leal bookseller into the unwifhed lor field
of public altercation. I do ' anally sympathize
with the fuprrior feeder author, who had the mif
fortune to pth upon so imprudent an ostensible
author. With proper deference (to him, as yet
unknown) he had better constituted Robert Bell,
bobkfelkr, foie god-f ther of his pamphlet. Ihope
he thinks so new. When be again sants an accom
plished accouches, perhaps he and I may get ac
quainted. Excuse this start of assurance (for the
public knoweth, as a book auctioneer, I am remar
kable for my excrffive modesty) because it is your
ill turned attack that constrained me to acquire it.
You fay you wanted to remain unknown (prudence
dictated the thought in Speculation) but, in prac
tice, yourfelf telling it in every beer house, gives
the direct LIE to the affertor of such a falfthood.
On the faie of the pamphlet, your head being whir
ligigged by imaginary importance, you got your eye
upon PUBLIC MONEY, and you were immediate
ly feb-conftituteu treasurer. It was certainly very
Shallow and impolitic to give the public money Jo
early away, without convincing them he had some
more merit than mere noise as a claim upon it. If
the public fliould err be So unfortunate as to eka
you, the treafnry will fcon be emptied. All the
roify fellows in the world would then run after
you ; and to silence their noise, you woulo freely
give awry other people's money. Perhaps you are a
pupil of Bute's (for Scotsmen have Sometimes taught
Enghflunen) compassionately come ever to Superin
tend the American treasury, upon his Scottifn plan
of public prodigality and extravagance being very
confident with private parsimony and felfifh' ceco
nomy.
As to your boasted intentional generosity Po
verty and pride have long been sup posed to be alto
gether monopolized by a certain Starved nation
Bynga determinedenemy to all monopolies, it much
rejoiceth me to fee a Self-conceited En. lilhman put
ting in for a large Sh oe of that dirty monepcti
Honestly and indultrioully attempt to pay your
debts, as I do, for I would not be that unreafonabie
hyoocrite to bid another pra&ife what I did rot do
myfelf: that done, ; ou and I may tben with p open
eclat turn generous, and call the astonished world
to wonder and gaze at the disinterested gen>rofity of
the Would-be-Author and tue real Bookfellei But
in the mean time, bftween you and me, to lift fech
a powerful band of brave auxiliaries as a number of
anxious friends, and all the military men
who wanted mittens, with a Still more formidable
and unvanqnifliable body in reserve under the
cover of litigious and mal volent law suns, and
to ar range them in battle array is certainly too ma
nv against one industrious Bookfellef, who never
asked or received any thing from the public with
out giving an equivalent, a po^r individual who
neither attempteth nor wifhern for mme friends
than the ie&itude of hie condud in bufineb, and in
the amdrs of focie+y, fr,all both gain and retain.
To conclude, your taking the public field was
bad, became there was no foundation for it. unless
envy be allowed a good one—Your management of
the fight and precipitate flight was wcufc—and final
exit (as you fay) worse and worse.—So inglorioofi
to defeat the Standard, which yourfelf had e'eß d,
was cowardly—Almost similar to a rafeall) puppr
who, with open mouth, runs fn uling and harkm^
at an honest manly dog, whole notice is atidacj
by the yelpings of the ill-natured cur, aid djo?-
eth only to return it by a few looks and words of
Stern contempt ; with which thewretched reptile is
so efficaciously frightened, that with cats hangirg,
and tail dangling, he fcampereth away, fiem a con
scious fear, that if he did Stay, lie would mod cer
tainly be kicked off t ^ ground.
N. B. When R. Bell published the additions,
2nd giveth them gratis to ail tre purchasers of rhe
Soft and fetond editions of Common Seufe, he will
then with all humility and confittency apologize to
the reipe&able bar of the public for his encroach
ments ; they at prelent are requested to remember
a piufs-wai rant was issued for his attendance.
He hath just as much common sense left as yet to
spare a little to those who are volunteers in giving
two Shillings for the Second edition.
Tie want of equity in Bell's bill of expences, ex
hibited to the assignees of the nameless author, nay
he had only charged one penny each for ttii'chiD%
one thouland pamphlets, containing eleven thou:
daud different half Sheets to be folded, gathered
pretied, and collated, which goeth thio' the artirts
hands five different nines before the pain>hkt can
be ready for the public—A charge so very mode
rate that several bocklellers declared the work done
was worth double the money. ~
However, for that very reasonable charge, one of
fhd assignees would not fettle rhe account Ann 1
have not yet learned the necessity of forcing money
upon those who are not willing to r eceive io
