COMMUNICATION.


II seems somewhat surprising that
the Medicinal qualities of Soda Water
should have been so much overlooked
and neglected by physicians. There is
: not perhaps, in nature, more efficient
antiseptic and antiemetic than the Gar
bonic acid Gas, with which this water
abounds. A case of bilious remittent
fever has lately come within my know
ledge in which the patient was afflicted
with most incessaDt and distressing
vomiting. Several respectable physi-
clans met in consultation; all the usual
medicines had been prescribed without
effect. when an old and experienced one
thought of Soda Water 1t was procur-
ed. and the very first glass operated
like charm; the disagreeable symp-
toms subsidized immediately; and the
patient found it cordial to his exhaust
ed system. He continues the use OF 1t.
is now convalcscent and in a fair way
Of recovering.
This is one among number OF IN
stances, where the life of the patient
has, probably, been saved by having
recourse to the waters OF
HYGEIA.

The letter to the common council stated, that
the governor did not know any such person
as General D'Evereux but bis grace deem

THE PARTING.
He died in calmness-pure and bright
And those who watch'd his spirits fight
Said that he pass'd without a moan
Untold his tale-his name unknown.
Hs came from some far distant cline,
at woe had work'd the wrecks of time
file never smil'd-or wept-er sigh'd--
The minstrel broken hearted died
'Tis said he lov'd in early youth,
But this cannot speak with truth,
Yet neyer-did brighter shrine
Hold spirit hall so pure-divine
lie sleeps beneath the greenwood bower,
A victim to his passions power,
Aud there shall many bright flower bloom
In glory DER the poets tomb
pigh e'er his urn, his harp shall ring,
Swep, by the wild winds wandering,
Its str ugs shall oft responsive pour,
The strains he lov'd in life before /.
And there the village train shall come
At sunset hour to mourn his doom,
Aud there the requiem death-song swell
And weep for one they lov'd so we'll.
