we can have too much of this important and
most valuable fluid, Do trees die from too great
quantities ofsap? No. And shall imp;ous man
say his Creator was wrong IN not making

FALLS, ACCIDENTS, &c. &C.
No good can result, even in falls and bruises,

good purpose, and relieve the circulation sooner
than bleeding, without the after weakning effect
A shock has the same effect, in a measure, upon
the body, that lightning produces upon it. 1t

glObular bodies it is these that NAL Ike our solid
flesh by their power of coagulation. Now when
person is killed by a fall or by lightning ifyou
open a vain, the blood will run out, even if the
body is quite cold. And observe, ii never after

the thing the body was upon--had for the life of

tissue or muscles and dead blood, and which, If
not speedily removed, occasion such disturbance
in the body that inflammation, great pains, and fits

under these circumstances in doses of six or eight
or more, as may be required, will ordinarily oper-

similar dose would not operate under six or eight

We that the best argument to use in
support OF blood letting, has been and is yet spite
of true reasoning, the great which may be at

Guilty of feeling No reasoning uill prevent some
persons from being sebuced by the dcceivmg relief
which they feel after being bled. They do invara-
bly, pay dearly for it, To obtain this pretended re
lieflor period Of twenty four hours, they certainly
shorten their lives, and are liable to become para
lyed for the sad remainder ofiheir existence.
The idea is, thar pleading is a preventive against
future internal distractions and settings of humors
Common sense only is sufficient prve that in ORDER
ioprevent those internal accidents, YOU must begin
by evacuating those matters which might produce
them. Now we know very well thai that which
gives us life is not the occasion of death So is
the blood that does this but the corrupt humors
