Parr spent much of his time in the study OF
the vegetable world, and has fortunately left be-

pressed, were that the varieties of cline and
modes of living make but little difference to or
period of existence,-that the laws OF nature are
simple and easily understood. but they requir-

Parr on this occasion neglected his usual simple
remedy, was treated for by the court physician,
