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 Bri-
tain during the period, The mortality OF con-
sumptve persons amounts to sixty thousand.
Calomc, ofcourse, 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 stimulant uxuries 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, in
hammation in the lungs and take awak without
fatigue.
She asses milk, one pint; Peruvian bark, 6ne-
y powdered, one dram; Mucilage Of gum Traga-
cant, one dram. Mix, and take them all at once.
AT noon, Spirit of Mindrerio, one fuid dram
Tincture Of Gentian, one dram; Spirit of Castor
one scrupe; Paregorc, one dram; Spirits OF
Nitre, half dram; Port wine, half ounce; su-
gar or Honey, one scrupe. Mix for dose,
At night, going TO bed, Exract of Iceland moss,
one scruple; Opium, half grain to one grain or
instead OF Opium, add TO the Iceland moss Do
ver's Powder, ten grains; Gum, quantum suf-
6cit Dose, six pills.
This of course will not cure consumption in the
last stage, but is the best treatment (by part) for
that disease. Woman's breast milk is recommend
ed in the Island Of Madeira, and at Malta, and is
very beneficial.
Physc, for the most part. is nothing else but the
substitute OF exercise or temperance. The sick
without hope, with old chronic diseases, that other
