KINGS Pos7s.--A large body of influential mer-
chants and others Of Quebec have published a pc
tition, addressed to the late Governor General in
the month of September last strongly deprecating
any renewal to the Hudson's Bay Company of the
lease of the extensive property known as the King
Post Domaine, upon the 81. Lawrence which eX-
pires on the lst October, 1912.
The petition describes the country as containing
immense forests of the best of white and red
pine timber, which descriptions of wood are yearly
becoming more scarce-so much so, that ut no
distant day. it will be difficult TO obtain the neces-
sary supplies, except distance far removed
from tho banks of the ST. Lawrence and The CT
tewa.
II also complains of the lease granted to the
Company in 1886, TO cut saw logs, for the space
of three years upon the Domaine, for other than
their own wants and purposes-a permission from
which they have reaped benefit by substituting or
themselves, other persons engaged in the lumber
trade of the Province. Montreal Times.

THE TRIB U N E.

,y.,s N.w Manual HoMGoPATHIc PRACTICE Edited,
with Annotauons, by A. GEKALDHuLL, Nj. d. Second
American from the third or Paris Edition. VOL PIP.
65 l2mo) New-York William Raddo, 81! Broad
way.
The appearance Of so large a volume, devoted
entirely to treatise on Homeopathic Practice, al
eves the progress Of the new doctrine, while it
s,isces the confident zeal of its advocates. Vol
ume follows volume from their pens-not in apo-
ogy for or defence of their system-this they re-
gard as no longer needed-but devoted TO the
steady and scientific upbuildlng OF the edifice OF
which the foundations have been firmly laid by
Hahncmann Such is the aim OF Dr. Jahr's work.
Of which translation is before US. II has passed
through two editions in Germany, was thence rem
dered into French by the author, and the English
version ia translation from the latter. Upon ex-
animation, however, it appeared that tho English
translator was either unfaithtul or possessed no
qualification for the peculiar task ne had underta-
ken and Dr. Hull has found it necessary to revise
and correct the entire version by comparison with
the French and German editions. 1t will be under
,ood that this is the textbook of Practice of the
having been prepared with the entire approval and
cooperation Of Hahnemann himself.
From the volume before Us we gather that the
entire number of medicines recognized by the Ho-
noopathic school is now two hundred-the alpha
betical list commencing with Acetum or Monks
Hood and ending with Zinc and znglber, or Gin.
ger The use of the Magnet in certain cases is
allowed. Among the substances newly admitted
into the class of Homeopathic remedies in this
edition we note kreosete, Muriate of Ammonia,
Rockrose, sc.
We doub, not that all students practitioners OF
Medicine will find matter of interest and profit in
this work. even those who dissent most decidedly
from the system on which it is based. Science in
our day is not content with treadng the menoten-
Gus round of by-gone centuries, but examines all
novel propositions, tests all assertions of discev
cred fact or pretonsions Of improved method, and,
having separated the gold from the dross, pro-
claims and cleaves TO what is good, regardless of
the dicta Of those who, having never examined the
premises are not competent to form reliable conclu
ons As with Science generally, so with Medi
cine Our acquaintance with homeopathic as
indeed with all Medical theories, is too slight to
warrant US in proneuncing opinions, but are
happy to do aught in our power tending to promote
inquiry, and thereby increase the sum OF useful
knowledge and accelerate the progress of man
kind through the mazes of enshrouding Error TO
the clear sunlight of universal Truth.
