L PRODUCTION of new Medicine, to The notice
Of the public, that something should be said in
relation TO its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which it acts. Mans organiza-

the functions of each organ, requires the study
Of years. But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain Impressions upon

short tims. 1t is by observation in watching
the effects Of various medicines. that we are
enabled TO increase the number of curative
