PoIsoNINo CAsE.-Some of the faculty, in order to
exculpate DR.. Hart, have taken on themselves the
odam Of poisoning Mrs. Mcguire. They very gravely
tell us that the administering of the fatal drug was all
right and proper and the evil result was to be ascrbed
altogether to her own constitution But how many
thousand they have hasened their Journey to king
dom come, by this very proper mode, they leave to
conjecture. Ii appears TO me that they charge them
selves with gross ignorance and incompetency on
medical practice in general with great and dangerous
inefficIcncy from which have worse things to
apprehend, than from canine madness. We all have
constitutions however they may differ. And those
of us who may not have such please the faculty,
must pay the forfeit with our lives. When will your
reformation OF medical practice relieve us from this
alarming Crisis. ANTI-PoIsoN.

Rogers, &C. &c. to Doctor Hart has astonished the
medical world. Can any medical man give us a full
analysis of the and effects Of morphine ON the

morphine is not Doctor James II. Hart, druggist,
