WHO,1RmAT and MmEREFOREi
A Few Facts for the Invalid.


Have our readers ever heard of Professor Hol-
loway? Undoubtedly thsy have just as they
have heard OF Humboldt, Arago, 0srstcd, Sill
lirhan, Agassiz, and other notable men Of learn
ins. But have they ever asked themselves
,os0 ami ,ohat he Is? If they have no definite
information on that matter, We will proceed to
enlighten them. The Professor IS an English
physician, native of that country which pro
duced Harvey, Hunter, Abernethy, and other
illumiRati of medical science. So much for the
WHO; and now for the wRAT. He is to other
physicians what Cay, Webster and Calhoun
were to statesmen, what Washington-reYe
red name--was to patriots and generals,-what
Shakespere was to dramititists, and Irving and
Chalmers to preachers,--yiz: the greatest Of his
age and profession. His reputation has pene-
etrated the encrustatiOns of prejudice, surmoun-
ted the barriers of malice, and he ayowedly
stands alone, the MEDICAL COLOSSUS of
the world So much for the WHAT.
WHEREFORE do we speak of him here? If
when our fellow countrymsn were dying by
thousands, of yellow fever, at Norfolk and
Portsmouth, we had heard of remedy which
would arrest the progress of the disease, and
stay the footsteps of the spoiler, and we had
neglected to communicate it, what would have
been our desert? Truly, very summary pun
ishment by Lynch law. For if there be any
duty more imperative than, another, it is this:
TO visit the sick in their afflicton," and to use
every means for their restoration to health
This is why we speak of Professor Holloway
! This is our answer to the WHEREFORE.
Years ago, when the Professor was much
younger man than he is at present, his atten-
ton was directed to the great dispropOrtiOn be-
tween the cures performed by the Physicians,
and those which they undertook to preform.-

which will immortalize his name. To cure
disease, doctors treated it locally, topically.-

Straightway they proceeded to prescribe to
