Mrs. Partington's Last.

The following opinion of Mrs. Parting
ton upon medical lecture, is fair speci-
men Of the ideas which very many entertain
after hearing discourse fully interspersed
with the phrases which no one can under
stand, without going through irregular course
of study, and which very few understand,
however gliblyl they may be able to run
them off. The faculty are beginning to see
the necessity ofcouching their language in
plain English, and for their reputation, the
sooner they do so, the better.
Joshua inquired of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Partington, how she liked DIR. W:etings

reiterates into diagonal perspiration, par
oxysms the globular apostrophe into the

UPWARDS, and then deteriorates in prepara-
ton Of blind staggers. Should the annual

In this case, the vital instinct becomes de-
