A Belief in the existence of the fountain of youth,
_La. from which those who bathed in its waters pitied a pristine
energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century ; it will,

We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily cor-
respondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not confined to
our own enuntry, but diffused over the whole world. For twenty-

ratitude. May you long live to reap the rich reward of your
labours in the treatment of that class of diseases which have hitherto
baffled the skill of your medical brethren.
