PRACTICAL ESSAYS.


By DISTINGUISHED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
ExERcIsE.-There is perhaps scarce y
one clement of hygiene Of such great impor-
tance as exercise. Without it, we can nev.
er enjoy perfect and long continued health.
A consideration of this subject, therefore,
is indispensable in every treatise on the pre-
yeption of disease and the preservation of
health and if we shall be the fortunate
means ofinducing those of sedentary habits
land it is to such that this branch of our
subject particularly addresses ITSELF to de-
vote more attention to this all-important
point, we shall be accomplishing, in our
own estimation at least, great public good.
We take it for granted that we shall not
be able to impress our readers, and par
ticularly the younger part of them, with the
same views that we entertain ourselves,
of the vast importance ofexercise to their
health and comfort. Although so much has
been said and written within few years on
this subject, and the public, is in some de.
gree alive to its importance, still a vast deal
remains to be accomplished before sedenta-
rv men and females will feel and act in re-
lation to it as they ought. Our own per.
sonal experience and observation has been
turned TO itparticularlv ever since w. COM

PHRENOLOGY.

4 Remarkable Case.-We have been
kindly permitted to extract from a report
recently made to the New York Phrenolo-
gical Society by its Secretary, as one Of
committee appointed to investigate pheno-
mena connected with fracture of the skull
and the consequent mental manifestation.
The subject of this committee IS examination,
was small child of Mr.. James Mapes,
which at the time of the accident alluded
to, was two years of age. About two years
since this child, whilst leaning out of the
dormer window of the three story brick
house, No. AZ Green-srcet, unwittingly lost
its balance and was precipitated headong to
the pavement below. Before reaching the
sidewalk, she struck against the iron railing
ofthe steps, by which her skull was most
horribly fractured. On removing her to the
house she was supposed by her parents and
the distinguished medical gentleman, DIR.
Mott, who had been called, to be lrrccovcr-
ably injured. DR.. -, who had also
been called, felt desirous to perform an op-
Grafton, deeming it possible to procrastlnate
its dissolution, and by removing the pres
sure of the skull upon the brain, to effect a
temporary restoration ofthe child's faculties.
This would, it was thought, afford tran.
sient satisfaction to the parents.
The operation was accordingly ly underta-
ken, by trepanning and afterwards by saw.
ing traversely across the skull and then lat
terally, so as to remove a portion Of the
skull three and a half by four-inches square.
1t was found that the membrane had not
been rupturcd, and consequently, that the
cerebralorgans were uninjured, eccept from
the concusslon.
The scalp having been carefully laid
back and secured, the child soon recovered,
and indicated even more than its wontcd
manifestation Of mind.
The most remarkable fact in this case
was, that the child previous to the accident,
evidently from some mal-conformation-
had not manifested the intellectual powers
common to children of that age whereas, on
its recovery from the physical disability, it
! exhibited extraordinary acutcncss OF per.

REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE IN ENGLAND.
NO man or woman is suffered in Enand,
to be put to death either by ignorance, neg
ligence, accident or design, without strict
scrutiny into the facts. A coroner's inquest
there is a real and searching inquiry, con.
Quoted by a competent and well qualified
magistrate. One good result of such inquiry
is stated in the annexed report:
n. Y. Amer.
An inquest was held, on the 10Th, on the
body of Rebecca Russell, who had taken
from four to six of Morrsion's pills a day,
and cot worse. Herhusband then went to
to Mr.. La Mott an agent for the sale of the
pills, and he recommend six to be taken
at night of No. |, and the same quantity
the following morning of No. 2. Next
morning La Mott visited the patient, and
ordered eight to be taken night andmornng;;
He daily increased the dose to ten pills, and
then to fifteen every three hours; butas she
cot worse, he ordered them to be dlscon.
tinued, as "her's was very obstinate case. "
On her deceaSe post mortem examination
took place, andit was found that death was
caused by Inflammation of the lntestlnes'
brought on by excessive purglng. Ihe
Jury, after half an hours deliberaton return.
ed verdict, "Tbat the death of the deceas-
ed was occasioned by disease, in conlunc.
ton with medicine improperly administer
ed, and by gross ignorance Of the person
prescribing" The coroner told the } ury
that. under these circumstances, 1t would
be for them to return a verdict ct man
slaughter M M against the person by whose orders
the medicine was administered, Mr.. LaMott'
The foreman replied, "Yes;' and a verdict
was accordingly entered Of "MansIaughteI
against Thomas La Mott"
If juries of inquest were as common and
faithful in this country as in England, verdlcts
Manslaughter against quacks would be Meth
er few nor far between.-Cherap Gazette.
