The WashinEton Union.

In our Thursdays issue, we administered to
our sick patient, the Union, . Homeopathic dose
Of medicine, in the shape Of the Jesuit's oath"
in the hope that as 1t was weak in body, las
well rs in mind a small dose would operate
benefcially; but our patient was thrown into
spasms by it, and his recovery is considered
doubtful
Its father confessor" has authorized our
patient to say, that the medicine was not gen.
uine; but the reverend father not being an NJ
d., his opinion will not prevail against those
disinterested physicians, who are the proper
judges Of the quality of the article in question.
We hope our patient win soon recover from
the effect of this small dose, as we wish to put
him upon a safe diet, that he may be able to
go through the course We have prescribed as
the only means Of his ultimate recovery.
Should his symptoms be favorable, and JUS
tify the continuance Of homeopathic doses, we
shall continue this mode Of treatment and we
would bog the friends Of our patient not to
disturb his repose, as we are quite anxious
that he should recover strength by continued
quiet, in order that we may gradually increase
the doses, and thus insure his recovery.
We have received, Of late, large stock of
pure unadulteratcd medicines of the same sort
as that administered to our patient on Thurs
day, and which we can recommend As genuine
being manufactured by the hthcrs,n and en-
dorsed by Doctor Peter Dsns, and others, and
which medicines we shall administer with great
