Because it was to have no end.
Why. is the embargo like a poor portrait

Because it makes a great many bad look

Why is the embargo like the fifth Wheel

Because it is of no manner of use.
Why is the embargo like the iaw-bone Of

Because it has ruined thousands.
Why is the embargo like COUGHING for the

Coapuksior,.-In the lest number OF that
valuable work, the Medical Repository, we
find an account Of two cases Of convulsions
relieved by violent pressure over the stomach.
This distressing disease, So alarming in It's
appearance, and, ottentimes, so fatal in is
effects, demands from the friends of humani.
ty and the professors of the healing art, every
aid which their exertions and their talents can
bestow for its relief. When the means of
certain relief can be understood and applied
by any bye-standcr, the knowledge of it be-
comes extremely valuable and important to
the community. We therefore feel it to be
our duty to give az abstract OF the two follow
ing cases.
Doctor Samuel Brown, Of New Orleans,
was called, at different times, to two patients
in commissions. To the first he gave the usual
remedies without effect, but, lecoilccting that
} commissions had been relieved by q bandage
! tied tightly round the body, he proceeded to
apply it, and while attempting to tighten 1t,
his hand was pre- ssed with some force into the
pit of the stomach. A change in the eoastc-
uance of the patient wasimmediately perceiv-
ed, and on the augmentation of the pressure
his countenance Frightened into eheertulness.
He smiled and begged the pressure to be m
creased. When the pressure was removed
the commissions returned. This experiment
was repeated several times 20 establish tbs
certainty of the relief afforded by the pres
sure. The patient ultimately went to sleep
with the whole weight of the doctors body
