rlR Dedic8.
These remarks have been immedi-
ately occasioned by finding in an Europ-
can Journal some very singular cases
of the efficacy OF fat boiled bacon in in
digestion, accompanied by constipation.
A gentleman who had long suffered
from these troubles, and had gone with
out success through the usual courses Of
physIc, was led by some accidental cir
cumstance 10 relinquish the use of but
ter, and substitute fat boiled bacon for
it, A slice of this be put between his
slices Of bread, morning and evening,
and soon found his symptoms of dyspep-
STA began to disappear, his bowels be-
came regular, and his health was res
tored. Naturally enough, he recon-
mended this TO his complaining friend,
and it was followed by the same result.
Afterwards il was RECOMMENDED by his
physician to a number of his dyspeptc
patients, and he had the satisfaction to
see Them mend under its use, and final
ly all symptoms of disease vanished
Thus did The fat of bacon, the salutary
effects of which we cannot trace TO any
cause beyond the portion of nitre and
culinary salt it contains, do more than
the blue pill system Of Abernethy or
the stomach and liver specuIations of
DR.. Wilson Philip. Nay, more-it not
only removed disease those systems
could not conquer, but removed also
the consequences of their previous trial.

festo was ssue1, stating the reasons
which induced them 10 dissolve the
bands which connected them With the

stitution for their own body, Which IS tc
be called "the Methodist Society.
One Of their allegations is in the words
following.

than four years reposed, under shed,

having been hauled up on the Inclined

any difficulty in Inc launch, as some

which is supposed 20 have been one OF
the most beautiful that ever took place
Not the slightest difficulty occurred
