THE REMEDY OF THE SPLIT FOWL.
Among the most disagreeable things at

of all professions, medicine, are the preju-
dices the physician must constantly meet
with, either in the mind of the patient, or
in those of his friends. 1t is easier to cure
the bodily complaints ola hundred persons.
than to eradicate the prejudices from the
mind Of one. Absurd, and ridiculous, and
hurtful notions, which have ms it were
grown up with them, will adhere TO the
mind, in spite of all the efforts of reason to
root them out.
Visiting patient short time since, for
