HOMEOPATHY As PRACTISED IN OUR MIDST.

Messrs. Editors-Thr0ugh the medi-
um of your paper permit me TO bring
some facts before the public, not gene.
rally known, in reference to the prac,
tice of Homeopathy $50 called in our
midst. This, truly, is an age of hum
bugs. Scarce one vanishes ere another
springs up in our midst, and the great
est humbug we have yet had in our
midst is this model practice of Medi-
cine, and am sorry indeed to SEQ an in
teligent community made subservient
to the wishes of the agent Of this grand
Humbug. ! contend, and can substan.
liale the fact, that Homeopathy as
pracliseG here, is not Homeopathy as
prac,iced and laid down by Hahnemnn
10 be practiced. l further state that
in some cases Allopathic treatment has
been resoried to, and shall here prove
it to the satisfaction Of all unprejudiced
minds. Among the several | refer you
to the case of Mrs. V...., decd, who
he gave a powerful cmetic to remove
some improper food given her, as he
said by The hired girl. Now l ask if
this is Homeopathy as laid down by
Hahncman, or would all the Medicine
in Homeopathic's box, ifprepared as
prescribed by Hahneman act as an 0.
metic. answer, no, and Mr.. Miller
will answer, no. Then certainly Mr..
Miller is practising Allopa,hy, using
5 to 10 grs. doses of Epicac, as it must
have been from the description of Med
iciue given me. its color, taste, &C.
Then, again, has it not been proven that
MIR. Miller gave our respectable towns
man, Mr.. D. | grain powders of that
most powerful medicine Morphia. Is
this according to Hahneman A de-
cillionth part ola grain according to his
system, and the true Homeopathic sys-
ten, would be powerful. Then GER
tainly this Mr.. Miller is practising no
more or less than the old School prac-
tice of Medicine. Does not these cases
referred to prove it to the entire salts
faction of all. Other cases may be re-
ferred 10 to prove he is varying from his
profession, but deem it unnecessary.
Then again we hear of The wonderful
cures performed by this practice. limo
doubt by means of opium, morphia, &C.,
the tooth-ache is cured, it is sent abroad
through the country by the friends Of
the practice as wonderful cure. In
deed to hear them talk you would think
Mr.. Miller performs cures by some SUI
pernatural agency. They (the friends
Of this modern humbug) take particular
pains to tell of the wonderful cures, but
never tell you oflhose they have failed
to cure, and let die for the want of pro-
per treatment But ifthe Homeopath-
ic treatment of diseases be SO efficient,
why has it been abandoned in our large
cities, both East and West Is it be-
cause there are no sick aud afflicted in
these cities, or the mere presence Of
little pills allay all diseasel | answer
no (; but it has been abandoned because
it has proven itself humbug, and |
prophecy ero the twelfth month rolls
round. Morgantown and its vicinity will
look upon the practice, aud place it a.
moug the things that were.

and took it back, as was said, at the instance
Of the Administration, it did seem nobody
was for it-and persons who then declared
for it, were going it blind, and to wait fol
its second appearance, before they coulc

North Missouri Railroad.

The St. Louis Intelligencer Of the 18th
says
The Directors Of this road have en-
ded the long agony of its location by adop-
ting the SO called 'tmiddle route" passing to
the east of Galloway, Boone, Howard and
Randolph counties, and penetrating Monroe
Shelby, Sc. The route does not follow on
the fridge" but runs along on the eastern
slope thereof, and is probably within the let.
ter of the character. The route adopted is
shorter and cheaper than the route called
the "ridge route" There will of course
be dissatisfaction with this location, Gas there
would have been with any other,) but we
hope all will become reconciled. Let the
counties Of Galloway, Boone, Howard, Ran.
dolph, &c., take up the Weston and St. Lou.
is road, and bring it down to Hermann or ic
North Mis- souri,, and all will be right.
The Directors will probably close con,
tract for the construction Of the entire roat
before they adjouon; and then when III,
means are got, it will be built.
