office, he writes as a man of science and erudition, and
being himself in full practice in the heart of the metropolis,
he has the opportunity of hearing and seeing far more than
mere closet Editors, who are obliged to trust to the interested
reports of others.
It is utterly impossible for us to follow the learned
Editor through the 140 curious articles contained in the
three numbers before us ; but really we lament our inability
for there is in them knowledge of which none should b,
wholly ignorant. It verifies, however, the adage of Hippo-
crates, that Life is short, and Art is long.
In page 1. Dr. KING LAKE tells us, for example, that
"One of she greatest evils that beset and afflict mankind is iheyitribi
ing disposition to seek and obtain summary cures in the various Ail.
ments that disorder the healthful state of animal life."

And in page 2. the same medical sage informs us, that—
" The practice of incidentally swallowing alimentary substances a:
indefinite periods is inconsistent with the digestive process that should
uninterruptedly proceed to its final completion before any further call
should be made on its nutritive agency. An interval of six hours is,
perhaps, not too long for die digestive process to be sufficiently per-
formed safely to allow a successive quantity of aliment being /Amines'
into the stooweeb ; while, in cases of invalids, in whom the portion
taken et j time, should not go to the extent of satiety, but be cau-
dously so small as not to ineurnber by bulk, and so select in quality as
not to molest by disagreement, three hours would probably be long
enough for completing the digestive process."
At page -I, we find some excellent observations on Hydio-
' phohia, by the same experienced observer.
" If the hydrophobic disease is really not produced by the epecitic
quality of the salivary secretion derived from rabid virulence, but merely
from the injury inflicted on the tendinous fabric by the simple bite it
an animal, and if the effect should obtain more especially in the throat,
so as to contract its passage and impair or suspend the power of
deglutition, the leading symptom of hydrophobia would be mani-
fested, and the prevailing opinion of that disease being the product
of specific infection, would become at least justly questionable.
A person of the writer's acquaintance, when caressing a gleyhotual
and offering ere animal a portion of bread, was casually bitten on one
side of the thumb nail. A slight egitsion of bleed ensued, leaving it,
sore, however, that engaged subsequent attention. After the lapse or
some weeks, the cicatrised wound assented an inflammatory aspect, and
the whole arm speedily partook in it. Extreme depression of spirits,
hiccough, rued twitching of the tendons supervened, under which the
patient sunk, and expired in the course of a few days. The dug was
without any perceptible ailment either at the time of inflicting the
wound or afterwards, and was rather gratified than enraged by the luer.d
that was extended to feed, not to offend, but which was accidentally and
mortally bitten.
In this wanner every rage of the three Ntaabers wank]
claim an extract. But to show the real imiqa tauce of a
well conducted Journal of this kind, see null proceed t.'

hour.—" That gout is simply an itlfielMtli.itVly tKei:ant.tit of
the tendinous and ligamentous structure, there can be no doubt. Wiry
it should successfully claim the privilege of being indefinitely tolerated,
—why ftslititild assume to be an intangible malady, end be rather in-
vited and' Metered than prevented and repressed, has never entered into
the writer's imagination to conceive. In the contemplation that he, the
writer, had in his own person an hereditary right to gout,—that he con.
stitutionally possessed a construction of ligament and tendon that would
dispose to the malady, he has been long anticipatin; its occurrence.
At length it has made him an unwelcome visit. It presented itself ea
the bulb of the great toe of the right foot. The capsular ligament of the
joint, the adjacent tendons, and the whole superiticumbeet fascia of
the foot were much swollen and acutely painful. Not hailing it as a re.
medial affection, but deprecating it as he would any other ailment, no
quarter was given it. The whole foot was enveloped in a cloth, dipped
in cold water during the day, and cold spring waiter was poured into .he
cloth slipper that was worn on the occasion, as often as the Mot became
painfully hot ; and in the eight tithe, the inflamed foot was cheered
with a cold water poultice, made sufficiently thick, to keep under the
inflammatory heat until the morning. An abatement of pain, approach-
ing to comparative ease, was effected by the topical applhation of cold.
Without its soothing influence, the paint. would have been most afflict.
ing, and irritative excitement of the whole system roust have ensued.
In the course of four days and nights, the swelling and inflammation
wholly subsided, and after the cold applications were freely used, the
pain was too inconeiderable to deserve notice.
Os Ores- ifIICTION.—The efficacy of this remedy has the high
authority of the renowned Boerhaave, who observed acutely, and re.
ported truly, in his medical pursuits. It has been adopted in sue.
ceeding times too desultorily, and with iusufficlent reliance on i,s
remedit.l power, to have obtained a just estimate of its intrinsic and
practical worth. In all the various affections of the digestive organs,
especially in the sluggishness of the liver, and of the pcii•talle
action of the intestines, friction, well performed, over the whole
abdominal region, with a flesh-brush, during half an hour at a
time, repeating it at least every night and morning, will probably in
the course of a month, accomplish more than could be effected by any
medicinal ngeney that could be employed. Its influence in promoting
a free transmission of the circulating fluids through the viacus within
the reach of its power, is greater than may be imagined, and will be
found on trial to be extremely availing. The mechanism exerted by
this remedy, awakens and propagates motive power more efficiently
perhaps, than could be produced by any medicinal quality, however
impressive and energetic.
We have quoted from only five of the first pages, but
there are 110 in the three numbers, and nearly as well filled,
