T has long been a Twain% as Well as a Matter
of furprize, why Dr. BRODUbI ihould be more retorted toas
a Medical Man, than fomc of uur felt Pbyficiana, whole
cha-
radßcr and eminence has never been doubted : this Enigma has
long puzzled all ranks of people; but when we weigh and con-
' fitter the caufe in a deliberate manner, the furprize emits, and
the cataract is taken from the eye. For inßance, how numer-
, *us are the diforders the human frame is fubjed to, and which
wife, folely from the Patients imprudence; theft complaints the
Patient is athamed to unfold to his own family Phyfician, either
fearful it may by tome union:leen accident become public, or
don not like to coact's bk w„taknefs to the Phyfician he is in-
' timate with ; and in which cafe the female in particular often
falls a facrifice, rather than divulge the fecret of their guilt;
and without knowing the origin of the difoeds r it is impoffible
for any Phyfician to prcfcrilic with fucces ; rh, fe, Ebel'. are the
Patients who can wi:h fafety apply to Dr. Brodum, for they
have only to fign initials to theii- letter., ;Aid ttate their cafe
withaut any referve whatever. The Dodor fends them either
a prefcription or medicine (as the cafe may require) without
ever knowifig the perfon who has made application to hint, and
the matter rens for ever a fceret, as it is out of the power of the
D0...t0r to make a dircovery this is the only atd true caul.;
why Dr. Brodum monopolir a the application of all ranks of
people to tilmfelf ; and particularly fo, as his character is Cu
well eftablilbed as a skilful Phyliciata, when we obfetve in
the daily papers, the well authenticated Cures performed by
him, to perfons who have laboured for many years under
Gout, Rheumatifm, Evil, Scurvy. Nervous, Confumptive,

" France, more than any other power, feemed
defined, by the genius of her inhabitants, and her
pifition. to excite that competition, to balance the
v due of the products of indottry, and to maintain
the conteit in every thing which relates to the per.
fedion of any piaaludion ; and this met if is allow.
ed to her by the unequivocal fuffrages of all in
tions. Bin the calf: which paralyles our Wilily),
and our commerce, originates insirtionilances of;
perhaps, a more powerful Opel ation than tiny
which lial;e ben hitherto alledged.
" The French Government, Arno(' inceffantly
occupied during fix yea; s, with its own political
diffeurions, and having to carry on a war at horn:
and abroad, could but little employ itfell in Mt.
mining their circum fiances, and in preventing their
effects. The epoch of a general peace induced a
hope of let's &Atom confequences. We make
bold to irif,rm you, Citizen General, that it is of
extreme orgence that you fhould fix your attention
upon the city of Rouen and the department. Our
mainifaduring indufiry is on the verge of twin, if
fpeedy meafures do not glop the decay produced
by falfe theories, and the fpirit of the commercial
fyftem.
" Some have ventured to :Oral, that French
indriftry can he carried to the higher perfection
only by ;he ftimulus of a rival indullry. Where then
is this rivalfhip to be found ? Ls it in the execution
of the pirr•eff. for c•impleting the products of our
Wildly, or in the want of ;he r.tw ne-
ceffary to this perfedion ? it in the chanti.:ls of
coninmption for a commerce as yet but of very
(mall extent, f on) the wart of contidence ? or, in
a word, is it, from a more fatal confequence, in the
little national fpirit poffr.ffed by Frenchmen?
" Foreign indietry, and particularly that of onr
powerful rival, enjoys a degree of proteaion tro
little regarded by the French merchant, and which,
though hitherto overlooked, has rendered it predo-
minant. Ours, on the cootrary, compelled tot' ult
to its own efforts, exhiLits only decay and com-
plete depreflion. On the one fide there is an abun.
dance of raw materials, and at moderate prices ;
and immenle capitals, and rcfourccs always pre-
tented by the public banks, enable the manuftc.
tuner to attempt and to fapport every fpeculation.
On the other, thofe materials are fcarce and very
dear ; capital is not advanced for the promotion
of our manufadures, but at a ruinous intereit ;
in a word, an exchange dettruCtive of commerce
and confidence dries up every foorce of national
profperity ; every thing makes in favour of the ri-
vals of our manufaCturing induliry, and we mutt
fpeedly be involved in total ruin ? Yet there are
p..rfons who can maintain that France mull have
the advantage in a competition where th.: means
are fo unequal !
" We hold the fame opinions as to the perfec-
tion of the objects of inchittry ; but what fignifies
;h,2 value of things, if the laic i. not certain, and
if the nation gives greater ad-aniages to foreign
produas ? Our reflections are fixed on the prefent
(late of affairs. Scarcely has maritime peace
been proclaimed, when the introduaion of met.
chandize commences, the French warehoules are
ovtrilocked, our manufactures languith and fore.
bode general ruin. The French foil has not re.
jetted the foreign commodities; avarice and extor-
tion have favoured their circulation. Sec what is
the refult. The productions of iadutry incumber
the warehoufes of our manufaaurers ; labour is
repreffed ; worklhops are fhut up ; thonfands of
workmen are thrown out of employment, without
even a profpea of being able to gain wherewith
to fupport their numerous families.

4"liiis is but an imperfca view of the piaare—
Let us confider the future. By and by, if fuel) a.
fyftern does not ceale ; if French commerce prefer
the produas of foreign nations; if our manufac-
tories ankworkihops receive no encouragement,
all is over-! All the iholis ate fltut,tuaratfaCturing
indutiry abandoned, talents paralyzed, and thou-
lands of citizens, with their families, reduced to
the molt frightful poverty ! While we are s, pre-
fenting to you our fears and alarms, there is not a
fourth part of us in a (tate of aCtivity. Every day
witnelfec many unfortunate men fwelling the 114
of viaints. Thole who are yet retained, are re-
tained only in confideration of old fervices, and
they are threatened loon to (hare thole ea.. Litanies
with which that clafs are aflliaed„ if the Govesu..
ment does not fpeedily remedy the evil.
