TO PHYSICIANS AND PARENTS.

in the superior aid of a Physician, confidence is
not only reposed, but beneficial results anticipated.
The following hint to medical Gentlemen--the
extreme, dear-bought experience of fond Parents, is
offered at a Caution without impeachment to say
one More than one dose of a remedy should be °A-
dared in a prescription, that a repetition may, when
proper, be resorted to where the expected results ate
not produced in a given time; or, when that mode
might be improper, or thought ineffectual, other
means, or an alternative ought to be directed, parti-
cularly when so dangerous a complaint us indent-
inatiou in the bowels or sto2page of the intestine*.
is remotely to be suspected ; because, the must in-
jurious effects may happen before the visit be repea-
ted. Without these precautions. in the absence of
the Physician, confidence is misplaced, and hope in
a superior skill proves fallacious. Added to this,
where danger is apprehended the Parents should be
sequainti.il with the expected operation of the medi-
cine uansinhoered, to judge whether the intent is
effected, which if not produced, Own they would be
prepared to auminister the other means before refer-
red to. I hid the foregoing been attended to, Emme,
an atiectionate, placid, prumising child tor learning
—the yinnigest of three son• and three daughters,
might have been saved from the fatal etiects of an
obstruction, known only to the attending
which in a few hours terminated her existence by
inflammation in the Bowels; for, the alternative
when administered, produced the inihiediate effect
desired—but too late—she expired, at the age of
seven years, in the arms of a Lind motner, to the in-
expressible grief of her parents, sisters, brothers, and
friends. Parents! can ye be too inquisitive into the
expected operation of medicines? No ; for by being
possessed of the intended etfiTts, ye may guard
against their disappointment by edininistering an
alternative. H. K. C.
