you say, used as noun, which is from a.
deps, fat, and which is discays used 10 quail
fy some other word, ;" Well, if ddeps is sy.
nonymous with fat, as you assert, then you
have already admitted that it may be employed
as noun Exs hogs fat, bear fat, rabbit
fat. We turn to page 436, of Ainsworth's
Latin Dictionary, middle column, and there
find the word "adeps" with the meaning Civ
en- -"Fat, Grease, IdlIow," all nouns! This
is an additional evidence of the truth of
"Omnibns' I'd proposition. Then. YOU
don't Ike that great jaw breaker right,
Sacro.iEidc,' and think ii means nothing. and
there is no such term as sacro. lilac. We
turn 10 Dungson's Medical Dictionary,
(the standard Of the prolession,) page $50,
where we find the term used four times, in
describing the positions; and at page 660,
second column. the definition of the term
itself is gwen: Sacro'iiac, that which re-
lates to the snclum and ilium' He also gives
the anterior and posterior sacGo.iIiac liga-
ments Of the right and lett sides as we'll as
our superior and inferior porlons of the sa-
cro-iliac symphysis. Ii there was any error
in the use of The term, Doctor, it was in moi
explaining it TO The comprehension Of your
lliterate understanding, and your criticism
upon it very forcIbIy exempliies The truth of
the old axiom, that " sCeak critics magnify
trlfng errors.'
And now, Doctor, stand up, we wish 10 put
few sentimental things al you, which, if re
meu bered, may inure to your benefit here
after. Yo1 know, if you recollecl any thing,
that there is not physician within the pre-
