Anecdote Of p,Alembert. t.-D'A


Anecdote Of D'Alembert. .-D'Alem-
bern was the son Of a celebrated lady of
high rank, who, 10 conceal her indiscre-
lion, caused him TO be exposed on the
steps Of 81. Roch. Here he was found
by poor woman who earned her liyeli-
hood by her needle. She adopted him,
maintained him by the produce Of her la.
bor, and placed him in the college Of Mon
iaigne. The young man proflied by the
instruction received, so that, like Pascal,
he made new discoveries in geometry in
his 5,h year. His name soon became
known over all Europe, and the learned
courted the society Of the young student
Of Moniaigne. Such was the fame he
acquired BY his early talents, that the la
dy at last began 10 be proud Of having
given birth 10 such son. His foster
mother had been watched. and, conse-
,quenily, the real mother had obtained in.
formation concerning the fate Of the child,
but without contributing to its assis>
tance,
Vanity brought about what The voice oil
nature was incapable Of efrecting. She
one day repaired 10 The college, and re.
quested to see The youth. He came. She
began long harangue on The tyranny oI
prejudice, on the pam she felt at being
obliged to forsake him, and so forth. "l
am your mother" said she. "You my
mother! You are mistaken: have nc
mother but her who took care of me in
my infancy" He turned his back upor
her and never saw her more; but con-
iinued the afiectionate and dutiful son o
The seamstress, and repaid her with in
terest in her old age the cares she had be
slowed on his childhood.

SHAKER FLUID EXT. OF VALERIAN.

excellent success. | have prescribed Vnlerian in
many different forms for several years past but
must say, without obtaining that naniiestly good re-

character OF the drug. as given by some Practton-

me more satisfaction than an others Ii has succeed.

as may be supposed are by no means MS Opium and
lis preparations. But in many cases where Opium
IS lnadmssabe rs narcotic, anodynp or anti spas

ind cation quite perfectly.
From my experience of this Preparations ! am
convinced, that were physicians generally aware OF
