Physic g. Physicians.


nUR late friend, Rev. C. c.. Cotton,
lOHmakes the following remarks 10 his
celebrated work .Laeon. or many things
in few words:
"No men despise physic as much as
physicians. because no men so Thoroughly
understand how little it can perform.
They have been tiakerang the human
constitution four thousand years, in order
to learn TO cure about as many disorders.
The result is. that mercury and birthstone
arethe only specifics they have discovered.
| ALI the fatal malidies continue 10 be what
they were in the days of Paracelsus. Hip
pocrates, and Galen, opprobria medicor-
um.' 1t is true that each disorder has
thousand prescriptions, but not single
remedy. They pour variety of sails
and acids into marble mortar, and ex-
pect similar results when these ingredients
are poured into the human stomach: but
| what can be so ground!ess as reasonings
/ built on such analogies2 For tie marble
mortar adGiits the agency of atmospheric
air, which cannot be said of The human
stomach; and again the human stomach
possesses life. ard the gastric juice, which
cannot be said of the marble mortar!!
!" 1t is better to have recourse to a non-pro-
fessional man if he can cure our disorders,
although he cannot explain them. In a
certain consultation of physicians IN this
Kingdom they all differed about the nature
an intermittent. and all plausibly defined
the disease. At length a medical.
! who had been called in thus interposed
! Gentlemen, you ali seem to differ about
the nature of an intermittent; permit me
TO explain it. An intermittent fever, gen.
ltlemen. is disorder which can cure,
and which gou cannot"
