he took his round Of examination with his
only medicine, which he gave in different
Quantities fore every disease, expecting fever,
cholic, dysentary, and "every Ill that flesh
is heir to" to succumb to his remedy. This
treatment without any nourishing food,
brought on such physical pros,ra,ion as pre-
vented recovery from the slightest illness.
He had sick men taken from their beds and
confined in the guard-house, who died in
twcnty-four hours afterwards. Some of
them spoke with gratitude Of the gra,uitous
attentions of DR.. A. N. McLaren, who is
unanimously beloved throughout the army
\ AT Perote, they were strown thickly
upon the cold stone floors, without even a
blanket. They were left at night without
an attendant to administer comfort to
the dying Through the long cheeress
night they poured forth their una vailing la
mcntalions of despair, and each morning
found fifteen Or twenty dead. Many who
sunk under the seventies of the marches,
were left TO the guerrilleros.
AT Puebla one hundred and forty of our
Regment, died in the hospital in less than
three months. This did not result from the
disease or climate, but from the want of pro-
pr treatment. Confined in gloomy walls

brethren in vindicating tho abstract prin
ciple of mans right to selfgovernment
He enlarged upon the characteristic fea-
,ures Of that Revolution. Our Itdepen.
dence, he said, was not the work of day,
the emphemeral product of popular trans.
port, but the development Of germ, which
had been planted long ago. The founda.
tions of our institutions were laid in times
of religious persecution-our country was
colonized by the Puritan and the Huguer1ot.

French who fought and bIed with us, car
ried home with them the free principles,
which they had imbibed here. The result
was that outburst of popular enthusiasm.
which in 1889 rocked Europe 10 its very
centre. The present revolution, he said.
showed that the French had made great
advances since then, in capability for self:
government. He pointed ou, The dis,in-
gushing characteristics of the two rcvolu-
tons. The first was headed by men, who
endeavored to form a government on the
models of antiquity. The present rulers
of France, on the contrary, had applied,
themselves to the study Of our constipation,
a9d the practical operation of our system.
