MONTHLY MIRI1011.—" When It Is considered, that this
valuable work, upon one of the most impatient subjects that
ran engage the investigation and pen of the medical prac-
titioner, has undergone a ninth edition, it will be admitted,
that the public has not been inattentive to Its merits. The
object of this able little treatise is, to recommend the use of
'Cowboy, or Cowitch, (the Dollckos pruritus of Linnaeus,)
u a powerful and Rafe vermifoge. The ingenious writer
has compressed a great deal of highly valuable matter Into a
small compass ; and we should not be doing our duty, were
we not strongly to recommend it to the further notice of the
pubic."—January, ISO, page 41.
Ectscrte Itsviaw.—" Whoever contributes to the dimi-1
nation of human misery, is deservedly reckoned among the
benefactors of mankind: The promulgation made by the
author, of the efficacy of the Dolichos Wariest., in reasoileg
one of the common, and often most dangerous. diseases;
*specialty of infancy and poverty, appears to be a well es-
tablished fact. Medicine mutt have the best of experience.
The very respectable attestations of this simple, from medi-
cal men of the first eminence, stamps confidence on the Cow-
bage. or Cowitch, in vermicular complaints. A ale* edi-
tion of the pamphlet shows that it has engaged very gene-
rsl attention, as ledeed it' deserves, if this plant be found
alike efficacious in destroying all the vinous kinds of worms
which breed in the human body. We very earnestly re-
commend the use of this medicine, so innocent, so easily
taken, and apparently so efficacious, and we cordially
thank Mr. Chamberlains for making it thus universally
known, and not concealing it as a nostrum."—May, 1803,

d to be well attended to. In fact, there is not a
sym;:tom' indicative of worms, which may not be expe-
rienced by other disorders; and this the writer. with proper
candour, acknowledges himself. Under this certainty, then,
what can we do better, than prescribe that vermifuge me-
dicine which, if oar conjectures are right, will remove the
disease? and. if we are not mistaken, will neither aggravate
the ill, nor expose the sufferer to new maladies and dangers.
Under this view of the case, we can safely refer the afilicted,

MONTHLY RIMEIV.—" The present edition of this use-
ful pablitation contains a more simple description of bites.
final worms, with their symptoms and their causes, than was
given in the former impressions. The author's high opinion
of Be efficacy of the Stizolobiem in the removal of worms,
