SALT.-From the time of the discovery of the
great principle of vaccination by Doctor Jenner
in l775, up to the discovery of chloroform in our
day, there seemed to be no new thing under the
sun in the science of medicine. Many of the old
fOgy school of doctors tried to explain this apathy
in the profession by the hypothesis that the whole
field of medical research had been explored, and
that nothing was left for the followers of Galen
to discover or invent.
From the days of honert Gil Bias and Doctor
Sangrado, the brains of the whole profession
have been acked to discover some agent
by which the murderOus practice of blood
letting could be avoided, and the circulation of
the blood equaliZed in cases of violent inflamma-
ton but in vain has science and skill studied for
that remedy, and the lancet, and the leach, and
the cupping instrument, have continued to hold
undisputable sway, and to carry thousands upon
thousands annually to their grave
There is no member of the profession who does
not dread resort TO venesection, and if their Sc
cret thoughts could be unveiled, ALL would tell MS
that they know in their own practice of more
than one fatal result from its use.
This knowledge so preyed upon the mind of
one of the most eminent physicians of modern
times. that he abandoned the practice of medicine,
and it is probable that this is the true secret of
the change of profession of hundreds, who after
wards rise to distinction in the political arena, or
at the bar.
Several years snce an eminent physician of
Boston, Or. F. Coggswell) who had spent years
of his life in this study, was suddenly seized with
an inspiration that peculiar combination Of
medical substances resolved into salt, would
perform the office of balancing the fluids OF the
human system and equazing, even in the most
violent infammations, the circulation OF the
blood. Weeks and months of anxious expert
meut upon this, at first, crude idea, gradually
brought 1t TO perfection, and then the test OF use
proved its almost miraculous efficacy. Hundreds
Of cases were increased TO thousands, without IA
single failure, until at last, feeling that the time
had come, this extraordinary discovery was made
public. A perfect FURoRE Of excitement followed
The announcement, and although the only class of
diseases it proposes to cure were those Of an in
Aammatory nature, the demand was so enormous
that for two years DR.. Coggswell has been unable
to keep IA sufficient supply to answer his orders.
Numerous parties in this State have made appli-
cation for the antiphlogstic salt, but have never
been able to get it. Now. however, DR.. Coggs
well has appointed an agency in California
Messrs. Reddington Co., Wholesale Druggists
of San Francisco, and within few weeks they
expect to receive small supply Should it sue
ceed as well here as in the Atlantic States, it will
confer an inestimable boon upon the whole Paci
io coast.--S. F. CaM

LATE FROM ARIzoNA.-A correspondent
writes to the $. F. Herald from Gila City,
on the 9th Nov. as follows:
Since writing my last letter to you, l visi-
ted most of the mining claims in the gold
diggngs, and, having prospected at different
places in this vicinity, am still inclined to
the opinion that gold mining in Arizona will
never remunerate the laborer rs prohtably as
IN California. The gold is found to exist here
in spots, very small in extent, 50 that claims

quently become exhausted in less than a
weeks time. There are a great number of
people prospecting here More in proper
ton to the population than have ever seen
IN California, aed, | regret to add, with little
success Everything here begins to wear a
rather dull appearance Mining is not as
good as it was few weeks ago. The de-
partures are about equal to the arrivals here,
SO that the population remains about the
same in numbew A party of miners are
prepared to leave here on the 2Sth inst, for
the purpose of prospecting the head waters
of the ella river, which is included within
the country of the Mohaves, and near the fa-
tai spot where part of the Oatman family
were massacred by the Moha, es. A friend
of mine. who is one of III party has kindly
consented to keep me advised of the success
and movements Of the party, which will be
promptly forwarded to you for the benefit Of
the readers of the Herald. A difficulty oc

concerning some mining implements, be-
tween two men named Warner and Degan
The latter knocked down the former, and
dealt him several blows, whereupon War
neF retreated few steps, and procured a pis-
tol and fired at Degan. The ball missing him,
passed through the left arm of Mr. Proctor.
Next day Warner surrendered himself to
Esquire Riddle, and, after trial by jury,
was acquitted The wounded man is speedily
recovering The people of Western Arizona,
IL not in name, are in reality without any
law, and feeling the necessity of some action
on the subject, an election was held here to-
Gay for selecting five Legislators, whose duty
Is to form code of laws for the rejection or
approval of the people. A Sheriff, Justice
ot the Peace, Treasurer and Prosecuting At
torney, were also elected.

BOARDING HOUSE REMINIscENcE,-Our cor

incident this week:
A few evenings since, about supper time,
called at one of the many so-called hotels
or boarding houses for homeward- bound
miners, with which the streets in the neigh.
borhood of Pacific Wharf are crowded and a
keen sense of inward emptiness being becom-

a butternut-coored. long, lank, thick haired
individual who came from, goodness knows
where, and, fixing my gaze upon him, as
mechanic lily complied with his request. Gu
rlosity overcame hunger. 1t was sight for
once in lifetime to see him, with few long
sweeps, which called even the shoulder into
play, transfer the contents of his late to his
knife, and from thence to his mouth Sever

CASE OF GEoRE Pen JouNsToN-The case
of George Pen Johnston, indicted for felony
in tightinga duel on Angel Island, came up
in the Court of Sessions this morning for de
cision on the demurrer to the Indictment
The demurrer set up that Angel Island was
not in San Francisco county, and the defence
asked that the Court should take judicial no.
tice thereof Judge Blake decided that he
could not take judicial notice of the fact
that Angel Island was not in San Francisco
county. He said there was some question as
to the fact; there were several laws bearing
upon the subject, and he could not pass upon
the matter in the present stage of the case
lie would, therefore, overrule the demurrer.
The defendant, being then called upon for
plea, pleaded that he had been already ac-
quilted dutre tsis ac9uit, of the same charge
by the Court of Sessions of Marin county.

ROBBERY NEAR MORMON IsLAND.-As Il
teamster named Franklin Smith was return
ing with an unloaded wagon from Mormon
Island, Dec. 4th, and was near Cave Valley,
at point known as Chaparral Hill, he was
stopped by two men, one large man, weigh
ing about lS0 pounds, and the other quite
youthful in appearance, and not more than
eighteen years old The latter took the lead
horses by the head, and the other with a
cooked pistol his hand demanded of Smith
to give up his money The robber very con.
siderately suggested that he did not wish to
hurt him, but the money he must have. The
teamst er, hoping to gain time, remarked that
they were rather heavy upon poor man,
that he worked hard for living and they
ought to leave him share of the funds
Finding that the robber insisted upon all he
had, about S53, he made motion as if to get
the money, but really to seize a hatchet
which was in the bottom of the wagon
Perceiving the movement, the robber brought
down his pistol on his arm, fairly disabling
it, and then robbed him at his leisure The
highwaymen had handkerchief over their
faces, so that their features could not be re
cognzed. This took place on a much trav-
eed thOroughmre the road to Michi ran
Bluff and Georgetown. According to the de-
scription, the parties were the same robbers
who encountered a teamster, and several
Cinnamon, November Goth, at North Fork
Iill on the Auburn and Yankee Jim's road,
assaulting and relieving them of some $3.50.
Smith said he had good mind to fight them
any way, but upon more mature deliberation
he concluded, as he was entirely unarmed
that he would not throw away his life for
$50, although he had worked hard for it
He was sorry that the money could not have
gone into the hands of some worthy person,
instead of being enjoyed by such scolndrels.

DECLINE OF THE DRAMA.-Edwin Forrest
the physically great tragedan, has retired
from the stage, and will, if he appears in
public again. follow the lighter and more
profitable avocation of lecturer Mr. Forrest
says a, New York correspondent the of S. f.
Times, is the last of the race of ponderous
heroes of the melo'drama that used to graft
fly the rude tastes of our ancestors, and which
style may now be seen rather degenerated in
the Broadway and National theaters, where
the successors of Kean and Garrick split the
ears of the groundlings as they munch pea
nuts. The Opera is crowding the Drama off
the stage. Verdi is supplanting Shakespeare.
Light comedies and farces are the only dra-
matte productions that find favor and their
success is but ephemeral The tastes of the
people are becoming more refined and fastid-
ious; the old sanguinary five.act piece, with
heavy rutiian who meditates something in
the first act, does the deed in the second,
achieves the object of his ambition in the
third, and commits another murder or
two con Gnlore; is afflicted with occa-
sional remorse and painful rumors, in the
fourth act, and in the fifth, falls in a san
culinary conflict With the injured party-this
is entirely too trying to the nerves of respec-
table people. Besides murders are getting
to be too common place to be at all romantic.
The Opera NAV at present be an ultra refined
amusement; gratifying only to those who
have a cultivated ear for music; but it will
gradually extend downwards and onwards
through all classes People may go the Ope
RI at first merely because it is fashionable; I;
but the inherent power of music will mani
fest itself and the taste will grow upon them
and the Opera will become the popular
amusement of the age.
Talking of the retirement Of Forrest from
the stage, the Herald says:
"For thirty-two years he has been the
prime favoyte with the play going public,
and with but limited repertoire, he has pre-
served hold upon the affections equal to
that which has been enjoyed by the most
brilliant lights of the histrionic world. Gar
rick, who was especially favored by fortune.
and was a manager as well as an author and
actor, retired after thirty-fve years of theat
rical life. Macklin, who died a centenarian,
acted during sixty.four years. Talma was
Emperor of the Theater Francaise thirty five
years. Edmund Kean died in the harness
after a career of twenty years Macready
retired thirty-six years after he made his de-
butte upon the London boards Booth was
thirty years before the public, and Wallack,
who is now conducting the affairs of his the
aters in this city with all the vigor of middle
life, made his first appearance in London
fifty two years ago. OF all the foregoing,
only Talma, Forrest, Booth, and Kean have
pursued their art without intermisson from
any cause whatever"
