HERNIA, in surgery, implies a rupture of the bowels,
and it is one of the most distressing afflictions with which human
brine can be visited.; aad, when neglected, is probably the must ex-
pensive, and frequently shortens the period of human life.
Thousands of persons are labouring under its influence, who are to-
tally ignorant of the nature of their affliction, or that an instrument may
be procured to alleviate their sufferings.
It is a disease which even the racist healthy arc equally liable to,with
those of the must delicate constitutions, from which neither rank, age,.,
nor its, can claim exemption.
It, appearance i. a tumour or lump in some pan of the abdomen,but.
:Lore generally in the groin, producing great pain when coughing or

Sir—ln an wer to your inquiry respecting the Truss you constructed
*r Mr. L. I have this morning seen him, and find that there has not
been any protrusion since he bas wore it, now about twelvemonths ; that
It sets easy, and has not produced the slightest inconvenience by its pres-
sure, though worn night and day. From the du of the Hernia, wd the
enlarged state of the abdominal rings,l had great doubt whether any
Trues could have been made, that would have prevented the descent of
the intestine, without redwing peat uneasiness and escosiation of
the parts.
He tells me that it not only retain, She Hernia, but that the vadat
positions of the body in stooping and coughing, do not alter the position
of the pads nor displace them ; a circumstance which, in all his former
Trusses, (and he has had many by emblem makers) has annoyed him
considerably.
I have great pleasure in being able to make this communication as
thp' gentleman has suffered several times considerably from the great
ritLenlty in returning the Hernia; a circumstance which, I believe, the
Arius* you have now furnished him, so effectually prevents the descent,
sit cannot again occur.

To understand these ell impactive sithicets, in sect a manage as to
apply them beneficially to practice, to zelieve Europe from its present,
and all future difficulties, we must analyse man and society. For this
analysis will disclose to us that power, inherent in man to be trained
and placed amidst his fellows, to produce math men ea mesh less,
than he requires, or will desire to consume. No r intelligent
person will now deny, that man is a compound of his nature,
or organization, of the external circumstances acting upon it, and of
the continual action and re-action of these upon each other; that by a
right understanding of. and a due regard to, the formation of the extor-
ted circumstances permitted to act upon each individual organisation,
all the physical propensities, intellectual faculties, and moral feelings,
of each individual, may be made to receive the bat, or the worst. di
section ; infect, that each child that comes into existence may be made
by the force of these eircumstanses, to be an extremely irrational and
inferior being, incapable of producing any wealth ; or a highly ra-
tionallind superior • haft, capable of producing a great supply of
=withover his wants; and that it now depends upon society, whether
future generations shall be mode to be the one or the other.
By what has been stated upon this most interesting division of the
subject, it is not intended that any one should imagine that it is prated-
cable, es desirable, to make any two persons alike. The original dif.
homes In organisation, united with the impracticability of placing VI
two individuals under precisely the same action of external einem-
MONS upon them, for one day, precludes the expectation that two
human beings will be ever found to be physically, intellectually, and
monk alike. But yet, a general infer* or superior character may
now, with this knowledge ofthe lmee of human nature, be given to the
Lyman race, and given to them simply by $ proper application of the
eclence of the influence of circumstances, hh foaming their character
from infancy. As one and all, therefore, of the whole family of man-
kind, may, by the application of Mere temple principles relative to our
nature, be made Gentoos.l'anibsls, Jews, thaws, Christians, Idaho-
malaria, or Pagans; so may they, with equal ease, be formed into info.
nor or superior below, with out presenting the peculiar convictions and
feelings which b. long to any Qat of the ertificial characters, just now
mentioned ; and no one can doubt, that it will be, beyond alleschlwoc
for the interest of the human race, that hmeafter, all who come into
existence shall have their natural faculties so trained and educeted. that
they shall be formed into superior beings, compared with any of dm
past races, or the existing race of men. But the knowledge of which
satiety is now the most deficient, and which, next to the knowkage of
the laws of human nature, is the most important foe man to attain, is
the science of society, era emnprehsosive view of thma :mentos by
which the aggregate powers of men may be united, and applied to effect
the ;pettiest possible benefit for each individual ; aw 4 thud to
secure the greatest amount of beneficial enjoyment, or if permanent
happiness, to all. • • •
This, valence of society, about which all men appear now r 0 ignornnt;
will exhibit the exiting defects in our amnia, fee producing
wealth and distributing it, in forming the character of man. and in
governing him. It will enable the population of all countries to de-
' sect the immense waste of valuable powers which. through institutions
founded on eneneous principle., is now sustained by the whole of so
ciety ; and the re tent of the mistakes which are hourly made, in every

Let us examine this process of emigration in detail :—Poverty per-
vade' this country, becaose there is an over supply of articles f
wealth in the market; and, in consequence, :an over supply co human
labour, or of life, for sale. The strong active labourer is s cries:liner
of a part of this over supply of wealth ; you send him out of the co
try to relieve the remainder of the population; his consumption ceases
' as soon as be departs; you send wealth with hint to enable him to pre-
duos abundantly in his new country; he soon products more than he
consumes; and be assists to over-stock, still mere, the already over-
stocked home market; and taw to Increase the 411, by emigration,
through which, for want of political Inowledge, you espectrd to
dietioish it.
But ft may be said, a producer of wealth, of which, under the exist-
ing system, we have *heady too much for the demand, is withdraws tto
make mon room fur the remainder of the producers; and, in this our},
' the country will obtain some relief. Unfortunately, however, for arts
untie of naming by the supporters of emigration, there ate now two
sotomeof production—use that necessarily consumes food and eothes
as it mimes whits the other des not consume either the one or
ether; and in consequeoce, the latter is a cheaper power of production
thin the former, sad will be introduced in preference. Tire lir.t re.
quires sixteen or eighteen+ years to manufacture; the last can be made
Set:fand complete in a few months or weeks. It is, thefttire, one of
t:toot fallacious notions that can be entertained. that enftgration can
reline the distresses of the country, occasioned by the coop. cation be-
tween manual labor and mechanical and chemical powers of uroductior.
If machinery, and chemical power, shall he permitted to supersede ma-
nual labor, as they must be allowed to do, under the present system of

creasing the evil. There is, therefore, no possible mode of relieving the
country, or Europe, from the direful effects of mechanical and chemical
competition with manual labor, as long as that competition shall be al-
lowed to continue : it is wood and iron, in contest with human flesh
and blood. The contest has now ceased in Great Britain and Ireland,
and it must own also terminate in Prance and Belgium. All the de-
vices of man will fail to support this contest any longer. Every at-
tempted expedient will only increase the evil; and no circumstance could
he so fattiness for the world, because it estates an unavoidable
necessity for the governors of nations to change a wretchedly in.
juzious and inferior state of existence, for one founded on and supported
by other institutions, which will create an entirely new and superior

It is the principles, end the consequent practices of this superior state

preceding facts and actunstaces, I peoporte foe your 000sideration—
and if approved for your adoption—the following resolutions :—That
the contra between machinery and manual labour, can be no longer
maintained, by the operatives employed in agriculture and manufactures ;
that measures are therefore requital, to unite the interests of the opera-
tives, not only with the present extent, but with the unlimited progrens
of scientific, a automaton, powers of production :—that the co-opera,ive
societies of Great Britain and Ireland feel confident, that they can de-
volope another system by which all the business of society shall be, in
all respects, much better performed, than it has ever yet been ' • and in
which scientific improvements, of every desaipion, will be especially
encouraged, and may advance without limitation ; sod that this change
may he erected without injury to a single individual.
That s Petition to both Houses of Parliament be pretested founded
en
the preceding resolutions. and praying that a delegation from the
Co-operative Societies of Great Britain and Ireland, of one or more
persons may be permitted to explain this system, for the relief of ail
classes, at the bar of the House of Lords and of the House of Com-
mons; that the Government and People may know the full extent of
its principles and practice, and them* ascertain its real value; suck
petition being to the following effect :
