MR.. POLK A MEDICAL MAN.

Mr.. Polk has made his appointments Of
Surgeons for the Army while in Mexico
They are the greatest appointments YET
made, decidedly, He has discovered q
new fact in medicine, which we wish the
different Medical Colleges throughout the
Union to explain. The discovery is this,
that oil the Surgeons, to take care OF
Southern troops 10 tropical climate,
appointed June Is, Isle, should, save
three, be taken from Illinois and Ohio.
Now how it happens that medical gentle
men from these two States are almost
exclusively competent to act as Surgeons
to Southern Army, we cannot divine.
Mr.. Polk has some great medical theory
TO carry out in these appointments; will the
Union explain ltl-Tropic,
