RECIPROCAL ACTION BETWEEN THE SKIN AND
OTHER ORGANS. 49,
From Combs OH Health and Mental Education.
In tracing the connexion between sup
pressed perspiration and the production Of
individual diseases, we shall find that those
organs which possess some similarity Of
function synpathise most closely with each
other. Thus the skin, tie bowels, the lungs,
the liver, and the kidneys sympathise readi'
ly, because they have all the common othce
of throwing waste matter out OF the system,
each in way peculiar to its own structure; (;
so that If the eshalation from, the skin, for
example, be stopped by long exposure to
cold, the large quantity of waste which it
was charged to excrete, and which in itself
is hurtful 10 the system, viii most probably
be thrown upon one or the other Of the a.
boye.named organs, whose function will
consequently become excited; and II any
of them, from consequential or accidental
causes, be already weaker than the rest, as
often happens, its health VIII naturally be
the first to suffer. In this way. the bowels
become irritated in one individual, and oc-
casion bowel complaint; while in another
it is the lungs which become affected, giving
rise to ca.asFh or common cold, or perhaps
even to Inflammation. When, on the other
hand, all these organs are in state of vig-
orous health, q temporary increase Of flnc-
ton takes place in them, and relieves the
system, without leading to any local disor.
der and the skin itself speedily resumes
its activity, and restores the balance between
them.
One Of the most obvious Illustrations Of this
reciprocity of action is afforded by any convi.
vial lparty seated ina warm room IN a cold
evening. The heat of the room, the food
end wine, and the excitement Of the mo.
ment, stimulate the skin, cause ;sn atfiux OF
blood to its surface, and increase In high
degree the flow of the insensible perspira-
ton; which thus, while the heat continues,
carries oil an undue sharc of the fluids OF
the body, and leaves the kidneys almost at
rest. But the moment the company goes
into the cold external aT, sudden reyersion
of operation takes place; the cold chills
the surface. stops the perspiration, and di.
reefs the current of the blood towards the
internal organs, which presently become ex.
cited,-and, under this excitation, the kid.
neys, for example, win, in a. few minutes. Sc.
crete as much of their peculiar fluid as they
did in as many of the preceding hours
The reverse Of this, again, is common in
diseases oostructing the secretion from the
kidneys; for the PRESENTATION from the skin
is then altered IN Quantity and quality, and
acquires much OF the peculiar smell of the
urinary fluid.

ourselves, and to add to the interest of our
readers, we shall, at suitable seasons, make
such excursions into this and the adjoining
States, as will enable US practically to learn,
what is the state of the Science throughout
the various sections of our Southern country.
In doing so, we shall permit nothing to cs.
cape our notice. Our aim shah be TO pre-.
sent the whole physical and intellectual state
of the Science-the rural economy of our
people-the moral condition and treatment
of our slayes-every thing in fact, which
may tend to impart interest, by detection
of errors in our agricultural system, or the
discovery of Improvements unknown to it.
While we feel, therefore, that great
responsibility deyolyes upon us, 1t must be
obvious that much of our success will. de-
pend upon the efforts of or friends. Others
around us, with noble patriotism, are doing
all 10 advance themselves by their agricul-
tural enterprise. We trust that o,lr people
viii catch the same laudable spirit. Let
them recollect that the history OF the word
has proved, that national importance, and
we may add, national independence ITSELF
are based upon the resources of agricuhu-
rists and farmers. That amid the flnctua-
tons of all other interests amid the depres.
sions of oil other,sades, they alone, by their
natural repugnanee to sudden excitement,
remain the most permanent safeguard TO the
preservation of our Institutions and our tber-
ty. An interest SO vastly important to our
State, should not be neglectedb by our cit'.
zens. They should all feel that to foster it,
is as high duty of patriotism as any other
whichtheycould be called uponto discharge:
With these hurried remarks, we throw
ourselves upon the indulgence ofour patrons,
trusting that the usefulness OF our journal
will be justly commensurate with our efforts
to please.

| When the lungs are the weak parts, ane
their lining membrane Is haoaualiy relaxed M
accompanied by an unusual amount OF mu
cons secretion from its surface, cold applied
Ito the skin throws the mass Of the blood
previously circulating there inward upon the
/ hmos. and increases that secretion to high
degree. Were this secretion to accumulate
it would soon fill up the air-cells of the
lungs, and cause su!Tocation; but to obvi'
ate this danger, the Creator has so constitu'
ted the lungs, that any foreign body coming
in contact with Them excites the convulsive
effort called coughing, by which violent
and rapid expiration takes place, with q
force sufficient to hurry the foreign body
along with it, just as peas are discharged by
boys with much force through short tubes
by sudden effort of blowing. Thus a
check given to perspiration, by diminishing
the quantity of blood previously circulating
on the surface, naturally leads very often to
increased expectoration and cough, or, IN
other words, to common cold.
The lungs excrete, as we shall afierward
see, a large proportion of waste materials
from the system and the kidneys, the liver,
and the bowels have in SO far a-simllar Of
flee. In consequence of this alliance with
the skin, these parts are more intimately
connected with each other in healthy and
diseased action than with other organs.-
But it is.a general law, that wherever an or
gan is: unusually delicate, it will be more ca
SLY affected by any cause of disease than
those which are sound. So that if the
nervous, system, for. example, be weaker
than other, parts, "a chill will be more apt to
disturb its health than that of the lungs,
which are surpassed in this instance to be
constitutionally stronger; or, if the muscu-
lar aud hbrous organizations be unusually
susceptible Of disturbance, either from pre-
vious illness OF. from natural predisposi,ion,
they will be the first to suffer, and rheunaa-
tism will ensue; and so on. And hence
the utility TO the physician of an intimate
acquaintance with the previous habits and
constitutions of his patients, and the advan-
tage of adapting the remedies to the nature
of the cause, when It can be discovered, as
well as to the disease itself. A bowel
complaint, for instance, may arise fsom ov-
creating as well as from check TO perspi.
ration; but although the thing to. be- cured
is the same, the means of cure ought obyi.
ously to be different. In the one instance,
an cmetie OF laxative to carry off the often
ding cause, and in the other adiaphoretic
to open the skim, will be the most rational
and efficacious remedies. Facts like this
well expose the glarng Ignorance and ef.
frontery Of the quack, who aAin.s that his
one remedy will cure every form of disease:
Were tie public not equally Ignorant with
himself, their crcdulity would cease to at-

Introduction to the current volunae the Sortasr'
Agricu'turist By the sew Editor.

The liberal patronage this Journal has
received for the last eight years, renders Its
utility no longer doubtful. We, therefore,
assume its CONTROL with the persuasion, that
our present endeayors to continue the work
will be met by an increased degree Of public
favor. The truth is, the Agricultural inter-
est is becoming Of greater consideration to
US every day. The people Of Europe, and
Of the Northern and Eastern States, feeling
its vast Importance, havealready established
schools and profcssorships for its advance
mcnt, and with cmulous pride have encour.
aged every undertaking having for its object
the Improvement of agricultural science. In
this enterprise our people have done COM
paratively nothing. While, with sedulous
care, they have iostered and cultivated every
other Science, they have suffered that Of
Agriculture, to sink to an ebb, from which it
requires our strongest efforts to raise it.
The task, however, is not an impossible one.
We have those amongst us who have ad.
vanced the other departments of Science to
successful consummation. Unfortunately,
however, as much has not been done for
Agriculture. We have been so long accus-
toned to look upollit as mere mechanical
labor, that, we have m q great measure,
neglected the study Of fthose principles, which
can alone render it intellectual and entertain.
ing. The result naturally is, that It ceases
to yield us; interest, VIC become discouraged
at it's pursuits, and instead of looking to our.
selves Tor want Of success, attribute the
failure to our lands-we proclaim them sterile
the spirit of emigration seizcs us, and we
finally abandon them and seek a renovation
of our fortunes in the " distant West" Our
purpose, in this journal, shall be to admon.
lsh our people against such course. We
shall endeayor to shew them, that an All
wise Providence has provided us with means,
which only want the application of industry
to make them permanent blessings. That,
he has spread out before us a soil, which il
attended with Judgment and skill, can yield
an-absndance 0f most Of the products o
other countries. Thai, he has favored us
with a population remarkable for intelligence
and virtue, and has bestowed upon us q
government under whose happy influence
we are brought into commerce and acquaint'
anceship with the whole civilized world.
With view to bringout these resources
and to give proper application to them
we have determined to spare no efforts on
our part. We have, accordingly, had q
personal interview with some of the most
practical planners and farmers from different
parts of our Southern country. Most ol
them have promised us the aid oftheir expe'
rience and study, and all of them have con
sented to transmit us, such agricultural In
formation as they may be able to collec
from those AROUND them. Nor shall ou1
efforts stop here. Determined to improve

CONTAMINATION.

aHaying many Pride of India trees about
my house and yard, l have made it prac.
tice to trim them the time of the year, when
the foliage is about to fall, in order to get at
once rid ofthe dirt occasioned by the leaves,
and berries and knowing from experience
that they arc possessed of strong vermifu-
guous qualities, the thought occurred to me,
that they would be good mixture with my
heapbf stable manure-I accordingly had
the small! fbres, with tho seed and leaves,
spread to the thickness ofeighteen or twenty
inches over the heap, and turned my horse
OH them as litter this added considerably
to the quantity of my manure, and ! find
that the land on which Ipat it, though in q
very undigested, helf rotten state, and in
which have planted cabbages, snap beans,
spinach, okra, and peas, had not a plant cut
by the grub, or any other worm or insect.
Ifthis, on further investigation, may, justly
BE found attributable to, the vermlfnge
qualities of the Pride Of India, in destroying
the insects in the embryo or egg state, in the
manure on land, does it not hold out consld-
erable inducement for the cultivation of that
valuable tree 2, Anddocs it not open a field
of rational investigation, to the philosophic
cultisator, in procuring nlanures e. infusions
from plants, that are in their nature delete
|,rious to the insect tribe. The Pride Of
India is remarkable for. this quality, and is
| rejected by insects Of every kind, who,. no
doubt, are guided by unerring instinct. Is
| it not then reasonable to suppose, thatwater
in Which it is infused, ,sprinkled on cotton, DC.
| would prevent the ravages of that intruder
| on human industry, the caterpillar?

Corn Husks for BEDS.

m As soon as the husks Of Indian corn are
fully ripe, they should be gatheredwhen they
arc dry in clear air. ), The outer hard

and draw the husk through a hatche!, or
