the Continent, who has lately written on the tubjett

out of five, taking the population of the bell inhabited
parts of Europe, is minted with Ruptures.—Mr.
TuRlllll/ tr., probably. from his fituation, has had the
molt eatenlive opportunities of afcertaining, with
aloud a mathematical precifion, this point from the
returns which he obtained by the defire, and at the
particular requeft of the Governors of the Society for
Retie of the Ruptured Poor, from the molt populous
diltrias and saanufaauriag towns in the kingdom,
and the calculation made oa a number amounting to
'no left than I so,ooo, that taking the inhabitants of
this country in the aggregate, one in fifteen laboured
under this malady ; in either calculation, however,
the condition of the fpecies is lamentable in the ex-
treme. Let it be remembered, that three-fourths of
the people of England who fall viitims to that molt
painful and molt deplorable difeafe, a Strangulated
Rupture, may afcribe the eau& of their premature
and miferable difolution to procraftination ; to a mit:
taken delicacy, in Itudioufly concealing ie nature
and extent of the difeafe ; to the indifcriminate ap
plication of bandages; and to the injudicious ate of
remedies.—See 'lt/absurd. on the Treatment of
Ruptures.
