almost entirely, TO the educated Glasses. Who
ever saw tall, lank, branless (not bairless)
Jonathan with small digestive powers?
Nature deals in compensations. If she de-
prives man of due share of brains, to make
up the deficiency, she gives him redundant
strength of digestive apparatus, so that the
pleasures derived from participating largely in
the good things of this life, may lead him to for
get the loss of all that gives him the least claim
to manhood.

FELLOW FEVER IN NEW ORLEANs.-Ac-
cording to statement in the New Orleans
Delta, the new discovery of incubation as a
protection against yellow fever, has been tried
in three thousand cases in that city, this .ea-
son, with entire success. The editor of the
New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal
says that, after the most searching investiga-
ton there appears to be an entire unanimity
of opinion, both among the contagionists and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, that the yellow fever of the
present year originated in New Orleans, and
that all the earlier as we'll as the later cases
occurred among persons who had not been in
any manner exposed to tho fever in foreign
ports, or to imported contagion. Dr. E. r.
Barton, recently read an address before the
Academy Of Sciences in that city on the SUBJ
ject of yellow fever, in which he maintained
the local origin of the disease there, and 90
serted that some Of the authorities and news
papers Of the city have wrought great injury
to the business of the town by opposing this
doctrine, and thus preventing the adoption of
proper remedial measures.
