A PILL FOR THE DooTORs THE greatest
physician in France, Dir. Magendie, thus ex-
pressed himself lately in one of his Medical
Lectures;-
"Gentlemen Medicine is great humbug. l.
.-sA - = eiuI a sGIsIiCo---sSTcnCc, IIIcc1si
| II is nothing like science. Doctors are mere
empires, when they are not charlatans. We
are as ignorant as men can be. Who knows
| anything in the world about medicine Gen
| tlemen, you have done me the honor to come
mere to attend my lectHIess and must tell
| You frankly, now, in the beginning, that
know nothing in the world about medicine, and
l don't know anybody who does know any
thing about. Don't think for u moment that |
haven't read the bills advertising the course
of lectures at the Medical School know
this man teaches anatomy, that man teaches
pathology, another man physiology, such-a-
one therapeutics, such-another mates'iG medica,
Eh hen <! et dpres What is known about all
that2 Why, gentlemen, at the school OF
Montpelier (God knows it was famous enough
in its day y they discarded the study Of anat-
Omy, and taught nothing but the dispensary
and the doctors educated there knew Just as
much, and were quite as successful, as any
others. l repeat il, nobody knows anything
about medicine. True enough, we arc gather
ing facts every day. We can produce typhus
fever, for example, by injecting a certain sub
stance into the veins of II dog--that's see dis
tinctly, we are fast approaching the day when
phthsis can he cured as easily as any disease.
&c We arc collecting facts in the right spirit,
and dare say in a ceatury or so the accumu-
lation OF facts may enable our successors to
form medical science but, repeat it to you
there is no such thing, now, as medical sci
ence. Who can tell Inc how to cure the head
ache rthe gout or disease of the heart p
Nobody. Oh you tell me doctors cure peo-
Pile. l grant you people arc cured. But
how are they cured Z Gentlemen, nature does
IL great deal. Imagination does great deal.
Doctors do-devilish little----when
they don't do harm. Let me tell you, gentle
men, what did when was head physician at
the Hotel Dieu. Some three or four thousand
patients passed through my hands every year.
| divided the patients into two classes with
one, followed the dispensary, and gave them
| the usual medicines, without having the least
| idea why or wherefore to the other, gave
| bread pills and cOlored water, without ofcourSe
letting them know anything about it--and oc-
casionally, gentlemen, would create a third
division, to whom gave nothing whatever.--
These last would fret good deal-they would
feel they were neglected, (sicR people always
feel they are neglected, unless they are well
drugged, imbeciles y and they would rri
tate themselves until they got really sick bn
nature invariably came to the rescue, and al
the persons in the third class got we'll. There
was little mortality among those who re
, received but broad pills and coored wafer
and the mortality was greatest among thos
who were carefully drugged according to IN
| dispcnsary.

from Eastern Virginia, and had been staying
about the spsings with gang of gamblers foi
some time, when all were suddenly missing
about four weeks ago. Spradling's absence
from his wagon and horses led to the suspicion
that his absence was the result of foul play

A DRowsY DAMsEL.-The Rockville (lndi-
ana) Republican tells the most extraordinary
robbery story that we ever heard. 1t says that
some fellow entered the house of Mr.. Jesse
Wright, of that (Parka) county, and robbed
the room of Mr.. Wright's daughter, who was
sleeping in her bed. After plundering as much
as be could, he proceeded very cody to steal
the ear rings out of the ears Of the drowsy
damsel. Then he pulled the rings off her fin
gers, and thinking still that he hadn't made
the robbery complete, he cut all the hair of
one side Of her head. And he accomplished
it all without waking tho girl.
