I.opatby--A New Method Of Caring Dis
enses.
The Paris correspondent of the Courier
des Etats Unis has the following account
of a new school OF medicine:
Ii the art Of healing has made little pro-
gress since Hippocrates, VINO lived twenty
three centuries since, II is not at all the
fault Of the doctors, who in all times have
accomplished prcdiges of Imagination in
opening new paths by which TO reach the
end Of knowledge. Our epoch. more than
any other, has been fruitful in original sys-
TENS in the medical domain. Germany
has sent us new one which is called
lsopathy.
1t must be said in their pyaee, that the
German doctors march ut the head Of
science in the career of Innovations
Nothing stops them.. The political troubles
which agitate the county, the tumult of
arms, and the popular clamors which re-
sound about them, cannot for moment
disturb their profound meditations. They
have already given US homeopathy, and
this was doing something, but not content
with this discovery, which has made so
much noise in the world, they are dislin-
gushing themselves 10 day by a new con-
quest.
Homeopathic medicine has been re-
preached with the scantiness OF its phar-
macy. The witty, who respect nothing.
have diverted themselves at the expense oil
doctrine which materialises itself under
an impercepible form, and works its mira
cles with grain Of dust, an atom diluted
| in a gallon of water. This was a cause Of
distrust with many persons who Judge only
from appearances, and who S.. accnstom
ed TO estimate the value oil effects from
the magnitude of their causes. In this re-
spect the new system will nj be suspect
ed, and it escapes the criticism which at
tended its precursor. Here tie remedy j:
palpable, solid, remarkable byits holiness
and its somewhat brutal Simplicity. $50
patty consists in applying to the diseased
organ the same organ borrowed from an an
imal in full health. Examples will render
the definition more clear. If the diseas,
is on the lungs. the lungs OF sheep ar
placed on the breast Of the patent; if it j
the liver or heart which suffer, they plac'
on the diseased part heart q liver of Al
OK; if the hearing is affected, Isopath,
makes you night-cap trimmed with tn
ears of calf!
This may at first seem sinnlar, and We
|, nothing is more real than this system
/ has been much talked abot--fame la
. seized upon it, the learned discuss IT, IN
A academies examine it, nuu:apus exper
ments Of it have been made n Germany
and as there is always fount at Paris, j
e all professions, crowd OF ambitious me
o who hold themselves upon he watch f
e discoveries, with the hope OF making, b
o the aid of new systems, i'rtune whic
they have not been able to ealize by Il

Ii remains to be known low great Il
ofl success of this remedy will be with u.s.
.. The new method has roomlor great d
h velopment, but until now thesupporters
m Isopathy have forgotten 10 tdl us whe'h
60 their system can also be applied to MOI

u. weak character, and one waiting in COZ

bv himself lions heat between the sk
he and the flannel.
