-Four of the persons who died were examin-
ed after death by Allopathic physicians, when
the following results were elected:
The first had ossi6calion Of the Broncha;
the second was in the last Stage OF pulmonary
consumption, brough, in al his urgentrequest,
and died in four days; the third was brought
from the Lazareto Of regiment, where he
had long been treated for ague, complicated
with scurvy and diarrhGa; he died soon after
his admission, from gangrene Of The scorbutlc
ulcers; the fourth had enlargement of The liver,
indoraiion Of the spleen, and atrophy OF The
heart.
Thus was the homeopathic treatment ri-
umphantly vindicated by its very enemies. So

One very singular fact must stfike the, read
er, thatin the report given by the Med. Chr.
Review, 450 patients laboring under fever and
dysentery were treated ALPHABETICALLY for two
months, and not a single death occurred.--
Most novel occurrence 3I What ashappy
scheme TO fall upon, 10 curtail The Duration OF
the trials to two months and thus pass over
the third month; for even taking Sedlilz's
statement, numbers Of the patients died on, the
6lst day, that is, the very day after he closes
his report, in consequence, as he says, 'of al,
altered balance between the circulation and ex-
citability.' ai I vhil tif 1T sAaIa8t

I Homeopathy dead in Germany, its native
land! Proof-ths, assertion Of certain Mr..
Lee, veracious English traveller and avowed
enemy to the new system, who states that the
hospital at Leipsic had but beds and these
were not all filed, &c. &C. We will now ex-
anime this statement and report The TRUTH.
sin Saxony in the year 1929 few friends
of the new system agreed to establish public
hospital at Leipsic for FIVE years, in order ID
afford an opportunity Of testing the powers of
the Homeopathic treatment. This institution
continued to answer the ends for which it was
established but too well for its opponents ac-
cordingly in 1887, its friends applied 10 the
government for a grant Of money, the question
was brought before the Saxon Chamber Of
Deputies, and after the facts had been ELECTED
by an examination of all the witnesses, this
parliament, by vote Of thirty three TO three, 4
granted sum for the support of the HomGo-
palhic hospital, on the ground that the practi-
cal benefits conferred by il, was as great, if not
greater, than that Of any other similar institu-
ton and that they had nothing TO do with med
ical theories. Three years after, that is in 1910.
an attempt was made by some cabaing foes
Of the cause, to have the grant stopped, but
after another searching inquiry into the relative
mortality of that and other hospitals similarni
extent, situation, &c., the parliament decided,
not on withdrawing, but doubling The grant.
We can therefore, assure x. Y. OF the conlin
ued existence and increasing usefulness Of the
Leipsic Hospital, and hope soon to have the
pleasure Of furnishing him and the public
generally statistical account of its patients
for the last S or 6 years, that is, since il was
reported to be dead. Zone Of the greatest OBJ
stacles TO the progress of Homeopathy in
Germany was the monopoly Of the apotheca-
ries." They enjoyed the exclusive right OF
dispensing medicines and they would not dis
pense HomGopathicay. And when motion
was made in the Baden Parliament that the mo-
nopoly Of the apothecaries should bedone away
with they referred The subject to a commis-
sion of medical practitioners. who gave it as
their judgment, that no HomGopathist, n DR. any
other but apothecaries should be allowed to
