Persons below the middle height, robust,
with large hands and short, thick necks, are
generally recognized as apolectic subjects
but foreign medical author asserts that it
is confined to no particular conformation of
the body, all persons being alike liable to
be attacked by it. The predisposing
causes are the habtual indulgence Of the
appetite in rich and gross food, or stmula,
ting drinks, coupled with luxurious and
ndolent habits: sedentary employment, car
ricd to an undue length the habit of sleep
ing, especially in recumbent posture,
after n hearty meal and lying too long in
bed.
Persons, however, who are predisposed to
this disease should not fail to profit by the
warnings of its approch, such as sddness,
drowsiness, loss of memory, twitching of the
muscles, faltering Of the speech, &c. Their
diet should be light and nutritious and
luxurious habits should be abandoned. and
moderate exercise should be taken. Above
all, they should avoid giving way to their
passions, as it is we'll known that many
persons have been smotc with death in the
midst'of a fit Of anger.-Scientfc Amer

WHAT A NEWSPAPER OUGHT 70 DE.

The Boston Ledger in noticing wordy
warfare amongst its contemporaries in re-
gard to what is termed IA leading newspa-
per, says very truly: ga newspaper is not
necessarily Il bomb shell, to blow ev erybody
to pieces that happens to be near it when it
goes through its morning and evening ex-
plosions. 1t ought to place before itself the
highest and most dignlfed purposes, and to
put forth all its exertion and energy to sue
ccssfully work them out. Wrangling and
snarling and personal quarrels, the mass of
readers do not desire. They refuse to be-
come parties to these practices. They want
open and fair comments on all transactions
and events that can possibly interest them ;
they ask for the latest news from all quarters
of the globe; they are fond of good temper
and geniality and common sense in the gen
eral makeup of their favorite newspaper ;
and they very soon learn to so to the right
quarter to get those things" .,,... 49,
