RE, M. ID Edited, with additions, by Gerald Hull,
M. d. Published by William Radde, 322 Broad
way 1913 Since the superior success of the ho-
mGopathic system of practice has rendered it so ex-
tensively popular, commensurate demand has
arisen for manual of domestic instruction con-
cerning it, which the present work most admirably
supplies II not only gives the well established re-
suits of the many reconcile works upon the system,
but the olearest and most specific directions for the
domestic treatment of wide range of diseases; SC
that Eany ordinarily intelligent and udcious MEN,
Der of family may safely and confidently admins
ter the remedies prescribed, without the aid OF a
physician. Exceedingly elaborate az is the entire
study of homeopathy, no practice of medicine
hitherto discovered, is go well adapted to private
and unprofesslonal administration, because there
are but few instances in which the remedies, If
from misapplication they fail to cure, are liable 10
mischievous effects.
The first part of this excellent little work treats of
the regimen to be observed under treatment; of
clothing and habits; and of the administration and
repetition Of medicines The second part is devo-
ted to the peculiar affections OF women and chill
dren, and of the treatment required. The editor,
Dr. A. Gerald Hull, who, with his emaent associate
Dr. John Grey, is one of the most distinguished ho-
me neutrality-suspicious. in this city, has rendered the
American people an estimable service in atiording
every family an accessible and sure source of relief
for the maladies to which all are constantly liable.
He has also lately written pretty little treatise, in
about twenty pages, on the domestic treatment OF
the commissions of infants, which may be obtained
of the same publisher.

benevolent Saint Nicholas. encased in his ten pair
of nsey breeches, now lording it over the Gotham

But as the old covey" is expatriated, we can only
say to our readers that Mr.. Carks "bill of fare"
for September, is unquestionably recherche. Mea-

"ALnALLA OR THE LORD OF TALLADEeA-A TALE
OF THE CREEK WAR;" and other poems, chiefly In
dian. BY Henry Rowe Colcraft (ate Schoolcraft
Wiley & Putnam The volume is printed in the
centre.table style. The poems are ceverly written,
blended with as much interest az could be expected
from series of descriptions based upon the monot-
onous barbarism of the forest tribes. BY what au-
thority the author has elevated Alhalla' TO the
peerage, Ia little puzzles us. An Indian Chief is a
very respectable functionary in his line but In
dian brave, anayed for battle, with his face under
a mask of yellow clay, his shoulders saturated with
grease, and his lons girded about with an old
horse blanket, is an "ugy costume" for a lord
We object to the title; it is unwarranted in reason
and in fact and is violation OF the constitution.

This weekly, for the 9th instant, is of the charac-

therefore, we may pass over its contents until we
arrive at the pages which contain Mr.. Nat Willis's
National Inteligencer letters, which are regularly
transferred to this hebdomadal.
The history Of nations teaches US that when they
have vanquished their enemies, and compelled
them to alliance or to peace--when they may com.
mand an acknowledgment of their justice, while
extorting lawless contributions from others-when
their foes without are silenced into submission and
respect their inevitable tendency is to sefdestruc-
ton. 1t is deplorable truth, and the more deplor-
able, that at this crisis OF their advancement the
broad and inviting field is laid open for the moral
and political amelioration of their people. The
causes are natural, arising out of the prime cause
that the members of the body polite are consttu-
tionally diseased, or that its vanity has been too
weak to Withstand the efeminate temptations of its
promotion. AS with nations, so with individuals
for the history of the one is but the filling up the pic
ture of the other In this, however, the shorter al
lotment of years to the individual rebounds TO his
advantage. Ere the Olympus of his ambition is
