IS THE SCIENCE OF MEDI

w cine Sin the last thirty years, in the cities
of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, fifty thou
sand persons died OF consumption. In Great Bri-
tain during the same period, the mortality Of con-
sumptve persons amounts to sixty thousand.
Calomel of course, killed every one of them.
There is no blessing like that Of health, particu-
larly when you're sick
IMPORTANT SOURCES OF BopILY VaoR.-Exer-
else, temperance in eating, pure air, frequent bath
ing abstinence from stinulant luxuries and the
abuse Of sexual passions, pure and nutritious
diet.
Patent medicines will do for 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; andtake 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 At once.
AT noon, Spirit Of MndreIio, one fluid dram
Tincture Of Gentan, one dram; Spirit of Castor
one scruple; Paregoric, one dram; Spirits OF
Ntre, half dram; Port wine, half ounce; su-
gar or Honey, one scrupe: Mix for a dose.
AT night, going to bed, Exract of Iceland moss,
one scruple; Opium, half grain TO one grain or
instead Of Opium, add 10 the Iceland moss, Do
ver's Powder ten grains; Gum, quantum suf-
fcit 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 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 to cure, who are
actually suffering, especially those attacked peri
odically with Chis and Fever, Rheumatic, Gout,
