This world is field sowed for another
life.
The most incurable disease is ignor-
ance.
Prefer the day of to-day to that of to-
morrow.
All secrets that pass beyond two, make
themselves known.
He who is of unknown origin, is discov-
cred by his works.
Where the heart is inclined, there also
will the feet turn.
Death is nearer to us than the eye-lid to
the eve.
The little which suffice is better than
the much which dis,urbs US.
The best of mans possession is sin
cere friend.
The eulogium made on The absent, serves
to incline our hearts To the present.
The best Of riches Is contentment; the
worst of poverty, low spirits.
Who lights a fire that others may warm
themselves?
Labor for this life as if thou vert to live
forever; and for the other, as if thou wert
to die Tomorrow.
Desire not either the wise man or the
fool for thy enemy; but guard thyself
equally from the cunning of the wise man,
aud the ignorance of the fool
The man who contents himself to-day
with that which he has, will content him
self tomorrow with that which he may
have.
He will never save himself who does not
labor for his soul before the day of its des-
tructlon.

Afabe disposition and department are
necessary, to your doing the most possible
good. II your patient has reason TO be-
lieve that you sympathize with him in his
distress, it will very much increase his
confidence in your prescriptions; and they
will be likely to be more eificacious, than
they otherwise would be. But after every
attention, and every care. after nights o
sleepess anxiety for the good of your pa
tien,, instead of gratitude and thanks, you
will sometimes meet with i'll will and NEG
lect; SO that the lines of the poet will be
verified:
God and the doctor, all alike adore,
Just on the brink of danger, not before;
The danger past, both are but i'll requled,
God is forgotten. and the doctor sligh,ed.
these lines remind US forcibly of the
following epigram by Valerius Cordus,
written about the middle of the 10Th cell
tury, which shows that ingratitude is not
peculiar 10 the present day:
Three faces wears the doctor; when first
sought,
An angels; and gods, the cure half
wrought;
But when that cure complete, he seeks his
fee,
Satan looks then less terrible than he.

In many hundreds of certifica,ed instances, they
have even rescued sufferers from the very verge OF
an untimely grave, after ell the deceptive nostrums
of the day had utterly failed and TO many thou

enjoyment OF health, without which life iiselfis but
a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their Elf
cacy invariably and infalibly proved, that II has ap-
peared scarcely less than miraculous to those who
were unacquainted with the beautifully philosophi.
cal principles upon which they are compounded,
and upon which they consequently act. Il was to
their manifest and sensible action in purifying the
springs and channels oflife. and enduing them with
renewed tone and vigur, that they were indebted
