MIR. BROWNS MTSHAPs.

Mr.. Eliphalet Brown was bachelor of
thirly-fve, or ,hereabout; one of those men
who seem born TO pass through the world
alone. Save this peculiarly, there was Moth
ing 10 distinguish Mr. Brown from the null
ttude of other Browns who were boln, grow
up, and die in this world OF ours.
It chanced that Mr.. Brown had occasion
TO visit town some fifty miles distant on
matters Of business. 1t was his first visit 10
the place, and he proposed stopping for a
day, in order 10 give himself an opportunity
10 look about.
Walking leisurely along the street, he was
all at once accosted by child of five, who
ran up TO him, exclaiming:
Father want you to buy me some can.
dy.'
sFalherp Was ii possible that he, batch.
elor, was addressed by that title? He could
not believe il? ''.'.
sWho were you speaking to, my dearl'
he enquired of the little girl.
sIspoke 10 you, father said the little one
surprised.
Really thought Mr.. EIiphalet Brown,
this is embarrassing
q am no, your father, my DEAR he said.
tWhat is your namep
The child laughed heartily, evidently
thinking il a joke. what funny father
you are,' she said; but you are going 10 buy
me some candyP ......
sYes, yes, PIl buy you a pound if you
won't call me father any mo:e,' said Mr.. B.,
nervously.
The little girl clapped her hands with de-
light. The promise was all she remember.
ed.
Mr.. Brown proceeded 10 a confectionery
store, and actually bought pound Of candy,
which he placed in the hands Of the little
girl.
In coming out of the store they encounter
ed the child's mother.
20, mother,' said the little girl, just see
how much candy father has bought me-
'You shouldn't have bought her so much
at time, MIR. Jones' said the lady, Il am
afraid she will make herself sick How did
you get home SO quick did no. expect

DR. WARaEN's WILL.-The late DR.. John
c. Warren, of Boston--a man who stood at
the head of the old School Medical profess
sion Of Massachusetts, and who was strong
advocate for general post-mortem examina.
tions and more thorough and continued
study of anatomy-willed his body for dis.
section, and his skeleton for preservation in
the Medical Museum. From an exchange
we learn that
The will required that the body should re.
main twenty-four hours, at the close Of
the veins at the end of the next twenty.
one hours the funeral ceremonies should
take place and the body be deposited be.
meath 81. PauFs Church, and twenty-foul
hours thereafter was to be given for exami.
nation to the officers of the Medical College
and the Physicians of the Massachusetts
General Hospital After this the flesh was
to be taken from the bones, the bones mac.
Grated, wired and deposited in the College
Museum. aH o's.f ieA-- lfe,
He did this TO break what he considered
a superstitious reverence for a dead body
which iinterfered he believed with The &C
QUESTION of knowledge very essential to the
living. He endeayored to make the bes
possible use of all his faculties while ht
lived, and provided for rendering his body
after death, the most useful TO survivors.

EpILEPTic FRS AND EPILEPSY NOT THE SAME

EPILEPTiC FRS AND EPILEPSY NOT THE SAME
DIsEAsE-By H. s. Barrows, M. D.-Ths
disease known among us as epilepsy is in.
volved in no inconsiderable obscurity, and
verify believe that there is difference be-
tween it and epilepic fits. not only be-
lieve that epilepsy is incurable, but that no
well attested case Of cure can be produced.
That epileptic fits have been, and may =
cured ! have no doubt, if the case is
in season. We cannot pronounced
case to be one of epilepsy merel
tpresents some of the battle-ground
toms, any more than we are anthorizeC(
pronounce certain hepatic troubles of a
chronic character, consumption, merely be-
cause they present some symptoms in COM
mon with that fatal disease The pathog-
nomic symptoms of epilepsy are convul-
sions with sleep. The attendant SYMPTOMS
usually are foam issuing from the mouth,
laborious respiration as in the act of strang-
ling, pulse at the commencement quick and
small, in the progress of the paroxysm Ian
guild and full, eyes swollen and protuber-
ant, constantly in motion and turned up so
as 10 conceal the pupils, teeth grinding often
with great violence, the jugulars turgid, the
tongue swollen and protuberant, the head
convulsed, and sometimes seized with tee
tanus, and either drawn forwards to the
chest, or backward towards the spine where
it continues fixed and quite immoveable.--
The thumbs are strongly rivited within tho
palms; all the muscles are either convulsed
to such adegree that several men can scarce.
ly restrain their motion, or the whole body
becomes rigid like marble statue. Some.
times it comes on suddenly and without the
least warning of its approach; but frequent
ly it is preceded by some degree of lassi-
tude, singing in the ears, &c.
Epilepsy is that organic affection of the
cerebrum which predisposes the individual
to certain fits or convulsions, marked by
a certain characteristic of periodicity, and
may occur monthly, weekly or daily. This
define true epilepsy, without fear Of con-
tradiction pronounce it incurable by human
skill .-
Epileplic fits are certain convulsions ofthe
epileptic character, being or not being mark
ed by periodicity, depending upon any of
the various causes of irritation, and in which
the cerebrum is Ji.netionully affected. These
fits are durable, and are the fits which have
been cured by those who make epilepsy
speciality in their practice, and who have
received the credit Of curing disease which

ing of the College of Physicians of Phila.
delphia, March 9Th, 1856, in discussing this
subject DR.. Beesley said:-In the early years
of my practice, I adopted the plan recom-
mended by DR.. Devices, and bled and pur-
ged freely in such cases, and I regret to say,
with not that success desired. But for tho
last eight years treat them differently, sell.
dom taking any blood from them.
DR.. Condie said:-During practice of 30
years, l have seen enough of puerperal fe-
yer to strengthen my adherence to the belief,
confirmed now by the conclusions of OBJ
stetricians in every part of Europe, and by
the majority of those in our own country,
that bleeding in this disease is altogether
mischievous. Transactions Of Cousge Of PLY.
