WHERE Is THE SCIENCE OF MEDI


w cine !-In the last thirty years, in the cities
of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, fifty thou
sand persons died of consumption. In Great Br
tain during the same PERIOD the mortality of con-
sumptive persons amounts TO sixty thousand
Caomel, of course, killed every one of them.
There is no blessing like that Of health, particu-
larly when you're sick.
IMPORTANT SOURCES OF BoEiLY ViGoR.--Exer-
else, temperance in eating, pure air, frequent bath
ing, abstinence from stmuant Injuries and the
abuse OF sexual passions, pure and nutritious
diet.
Patent medicines will do Tor rats but for men
undo. The Greeks made Socrates swallow hem.
lock, because in that time there was not poisoned
patent medicines.
Daily Morning Draughts TO be taken early, by
every person with pulmonary consumption, or in
fammation in the lungs; and take a walk without
fatigue.
She asses milk, one pint; Peruvian bark, fne-
ly powdered, one dram; Mucilage Of gum Traga-
cant, one dram. Mix, and take them all al once.
AT noon, Spirit of MindireIo, one fluid dram
Tincture Of Gcntian, one dram; Spirit of Castor
one scruple Paregoric, one dram; Spirits OF
Nitre, halt dram; Port wine, half ounce; su.
gar or Honey, one scruple. Mix for dose,
AT night going to bed, Exract of Iceland moss
one scrupe; Opium, half grain TO one grain /; or
instead OF Opium, add 10 the Iceland moss, Do
vers Powder, ten grains; Gum, quantum suf-
felt. Dose, six pills.
This OF course will not cure consumption In the
last stage, but is the best treatment (by part for
that disease. Womans breast milk is recommend
ed in the Island of Madeira, and at Malta, and is
very beneficial
Physic, for the most part, is nothing else but the
substitute OF exercise or temperance. The sick
without hope with old chronic diseases, that other
Physicians have never been able 10 cure, who are
actually suffering, especially those attacked peri
odically with Chills and Fever, Rheumatic, Gout
