THE MEDICAL ART.

DR.. Prus. of Paris, has just published a
naw droctrine Of Medicine, in which he
maintains that the study ofthe healthy man
can never lead to the knowledge of the dis
eased man; that the state of health and the
state Of disease offer distinct phenomena;
that the symptoms, seat, signs and proper
treatment of morbid affections are not dis
closed by physiology, and therefore, that
physiology can never be the foundation of
medicine. ne subsequently, examines the
real utility of physiology; points cut the in i.
evitable evils which it has caused since its
forced introduction into pathology, and
places physiological doctrine by the side of
those physical, mechanical & chymical doc
trines, the fatal influence of which is nearly
universal. The art OF healing, according to
DIR. Prus. is founded solely on the examina-
tion and appreciation ofthe phenomena which
attend sick person: and he traces them up
to their primitive causes, that is, to tn.
changes which the vital properties sustain.--

EXTRAORDINARY COWS.

Sir--ln your Gazette of the Goth Novem-
Der last, we see that at Worcester cattle
show, the Governor of Massachusetts, has
offered for exhibition, COW, which has Of
ten given 81 quarts per day. When visiting
the Chaldis of Gruyere in Switzerland, 80
years ago, have there seen numerous herds
Of COWS, which yielded from 80 to Sd quarts
of excellent milk each every day. Some time
after, when visiting the establishment OF Mr..
Chabert, the director of the veterinary
school of Altort, saw the same species of
animals affordng upon soil far inferior to
the former, as much as three buckets OF 10
gallons Of milk, and never less than gallons
every day.
Mr.. Chabert in his publications, said that
he had observed that cows fed in the winter
upon dry substances, give less milk than
those which are kept upon green diet, and
also that their milk leoscs much of its quail
ity. He published the following receipt, by
the use of which his cows afforded him an
equal quantity and quality of milk during
the winter as during the summer.--Take a
bushcl of potatoes, break them up whilst
raw, place them in barrel standing up,
putting in successfully layer Of potatoes
and layer of bran and a small quantity of
yeast in the middle of the mass, which is to
be left thus to ferment during whole week,
and when the vinous taste has pervaded the
whole mixture, it is then given to the COWS,
who eat it greedily.
The inhabitants of Pensacola own thou
sands OF cows, yet I'know ne place where
milk is so scarce: Is it not possible to reme-
dy that scarcity, by the use Of the above, as
winter food for the cows9 But, as bran is
never seen here, and as the Irish potatoes,
so named, are too dear for the purpose,
would propose the following alterations to
the receipt.
Take any quantity of sweet potatoes,
break them. the finer the better, have an
equal quantity Of corn or peas, or both, to-
gether, or rough rice when cheap; boil them
quite hot with the raw potatoes. no yeast
will be necessary, inasmuchas the saccharine
particles of the sweet potatoes will produce
the vinous Fermentation and be much more
productive of milk than the other kind of
potatoes. One fourth part cotton seed, still
fresh or out of a mass where they have be-
gan to ferment and thus prevented from be-
coming dry will very well replace any Of the
other grain above mentioned: In Switzerland,
where chesnuts are extremely abundant,
they make use with equal success of a similar
preparation, in which that fruit forms the
principal Ingredient.

A gentlemen in the country who had Just
buried a rich relation, who was an attorney,
complaining to Foote, who happened to be
on visit with him, Of the very great expen-
ses OF country funeral, in respect to car
riages, hat-bands, scarfs, &c. Why, do you
bury your attorneys here! asked Foote,
gravely. Yes, to be sure we do, how else!--
Oh! we never do that III London. Mo- said
the other, much surprised, how do you man
age!-Why when the patient happens to
die, We lay him out in room over night by
himself. lock the door, throw open the sash,
and In the morning he is entirely off-lndeed
said the other in amazement what becomes
of him! Why, that we cannot exactly tell,
not being acquainted with supernatural eau
ses. All that we know of the matter is, that
that there's strong smell Of birthstone in
the room neIt morning.
However differing am from other men,
said William Penn, relative to religious
matters, l know no religion that DESTROYS
courtesy, civility, and kindness. These.
rightly understood, are great indications of
true men, if not good christians.
AT one of PENIS trials, when he had been
treated harshly and ungenerously, he put
oOutC iioiiS 1HSoelOuS " VIC hSCOTQcT, on
the law, who finally answered 81 tell you to
be silent; if we should suffer you to ask
questions till to morrow, you would be never
the wser."-"That," replied Penn, in his
quiet way, sis according as the answers are"
He who knows not how often rigorous laws
produce total impunity. and how many
crimes are concealed and forgotten, for fear
of hurrying the offender to that state in
which there is no repentance, has conversed
very little with mankind.
Riding Wale.-The Truth Teller, on
che authority of a correspondent states that
sailor in Greenland Fishery, after having
struck whale, fell over board, but found
himself mounted on the back of whale.
and had presence Of mind enough to put his
hand in the blower or spout hole, to secure
his seat, being unprovided at this time with
either saddle or bride. Contrary to Gus
tom, Johns pony kept near the surface of
the water and bore him in such styleSs at such
a rate as mortal never rode before; the boats
all the while in full chase, and the crews
ever and anon singing out "hold fast John"
In this way he posted tull mile, and was
then taken on board one of the boats.
