SCROFULA AND FORK.

The Journal of Organic and Medical
Chemistry is out against Pork, and "defies
all hog.eaiers, chemists and Psychologists 10
prove that hdgs' flesh is a healthy article of
diet" A colemporary, crircsing the critic,
says:
Gle asserts that the name serotuia 'had lis
origin in disease peculiar to swine. This
is true, the Greeks gave il this name--'swine
disease.' II may, however, be as wiongfully
applied as many other terms. A man is
called Ounce as an epilhet Of stupidity, de-
rived from the term applied 10 the followers
of the meaphysician, Duns Scotus, by their
less able but more better opponents. Never
lheless, there appears TO be something be-
tween scrofula and pork, if the testimony OF
many able physicians is 10 be believed.--
There are some, however, who ride npon
different hobbies ; one upon one kind OF
food, and another upon a different kind
One will advocate bran-b bread and vegetables
another beef, pork, wine, and beer. The,e
should be moderation in all things, for bad
beef is just as full of scrolua as bad pork
The great object in selecting food is TO have
it good-in proper condition-and when hog:
are fed on good provender, and killed il
good health, their flesh, il eaten in moder
alton, we presume, will not cause disease
People of fair compilations, who lived il
cold, changeable climates, are subject tc
scrof1a. We believe, however, that toc
much pork is eaten in our country, and the
structures of The journal of Organic Chem
istry,' are required to arrest attention anl
direct it TO The evils arising from The nm
bounded use of pork for food among ou

b tho policy Of the slave States to rid them
selves Of such a population, he thought meas
ure contemplating such result, would be favor
ably received BY them
He was further led to suppose, on the author
ity of certain American gentlemen, conmunca-
ted to him through tie same channel, that many
shareholders would avail themselves of such an
opportunity to emancipae their slaves, if they
could be assured Of their being removed from
the country.
He was informed that the laws TO. bade eman.
cipation, unless the liberated slaves were also
removed, and that the expense of this prevented
persons who would otherwise enancipate their
slaves from doing so. But it was said meas
ure would be acceptable which would enable
such persons to remove their slaves from the
country when liberated without expense to
themselves.
With this view he prepared plan, which
should aim ut the employment in the West In
dia Colonies of free blacks from the United
States and should also offer to the planter the
prospect, not only of removal of their liberated
slaves without expense, but of recovery Of a
portion Of their value also. lie recommended
this plan to the colonies, and wrote the circular
in question in the belief that the want of labor
would be supplied from these two sources, with
the assent and cooperation of the shareholders
and the governments Of the slaveholding States
