ZOE consumption, London, has arrived in Washing
ton, and may be consulted for a Gmit,d number of
weeks in Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis. Sore
Throat, and Affections Of the Heart, at his rooms
PennsyiVania avenue, Immediately opposite Iron
Hall. -
The treatment pursued, in addition to the usual
OF remedies by the stomach is that of
inhsling medicated vapour either from q suitable
Instrument or by filling chamber in the patients
house, by the employ ment of both those means as
the circumstances of the case may require.
The peculiar advantages of inhalation in diseases
of the Lungs, &c. are that the remedy is applied di
recty to the membrane diseased that does not in
terfere with exercise the ordinary business of the
patient; that the most feeble Invalid may use it with
out an unpleasant symptom; and lastly and princi-
paly, that it has been attended by the encour
aging success.

SPIRITUAL RApPINGS.

Mr.. EDIroR:-I notice in the last
No. ofthe Whg an article on Spiritual
EappIngs from the pen of "Iyro," in
which he undertakes to annihilate al
the "rappers" spiritual as Well as asnatural,
by few broad and bod assertions.
Is it not wonderful that in this en-
ligIitcned age and in this free country
where the consciences OF all are nn-
shackeled; and free to believe whatever
they please without the fear of Legal
persecution, that persecution lives and
flourishes in the breasts of many, and
that no new discovery escapes its V per.
like fangs!
In the darker ages of the world-be
fore the birth of Liberty, when man
kind groaned under the thick and i'm
penetrable veil of darkness and super
stiton-when despotism wove and igno
rance spread over the earth, this STATE
of things was not so much to be Won
dered at.
1t has been the fate of aim ost every
useful discovery, when first announced
to the world, to meet with persec ution
and it is to be supposed that many one
fell martyrs to ii and sunk to oblivion
again.
Mrsmerism which was so bitterly de
nounced by the wiseacres of our times
was as it were rising from the grave
whittier it had been driven by the per.
secution Of the contemporaries of its dis
coverer years before. 1t was called q
humbug and those that believed in il
were prosecuted, and in some instances
mobbed--but the bug has ceased it:
hummng and now speaks out in an un.
mistakeable voice not to be misunder
stood or disputed-carrying conviction
to all minds that it is true The truth
of mesmerlsm is SO plain that like many
other seli-cvident truths it cannot be
Unconstitutional indeed as such il
needs none.
. Now let me ask "Tyro" if it is any
more strange for man to move stanc
that has no will of its own, than for man
