of the public, that something should be said IN
relation TO its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which II acts. Mans organiza-
ton is a complicated one; and TO understand
the functions Of each organ, requires The STUDY

bring it before the public, that the benefits to
be derived from it, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right to hold back remedy
whose powers are calculated to remove pain,
and to alleviate human suffering and disease.
