 l The unfortunate death of MT. Whitney is 1 another evidence of the uncertainty and nh- reliability of the treatment for the cure or the sick as practiced by the Medical Faculty
 The death of this eminent and well-known citizen created an excitement of such magni- tude, as to induce the Academy of Medicine 1 to demand an investigation of the treatment I the deceased had been under and ot the lm-
 mediate cause of his death. Yet, after thor ohgh and searching post moitem examination, l bylthe most able, skilled, and eminent physi-
 cians of the regular plactice--the members ol
 the Academy were unable to decide as to lhe simmedate cause of death;' and, ia theil re- 1 port to the Congress of wise Physicians there l assembled admitted their incompetency of Esolving this dillicnH problem. The sad case
 presented to Us in Painful death of Mr.
 Whitney is by no mAVhs an uncommon occnr- | renee Thousands Of human beings. who
 trust their lives in the hands of physicians. i whose treatment and practice lS based upon the theories followed by the medical Faculty. are suddenly hurried off '.to that undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveller te- l urns." From the testimony produced before l the Academy of Medicine. we are not pre- pared to assert that the immediate cause of l Mr, Whtney's death was produced by the ap- l pliration of the nitrate of silver, through the 1 tube, or by the pfobang but We most emphat- 1 ically assert that tho death of the lamented 1 Whitney was hastened by this treatment- 1 We have always opposed this method of treat ment; and in our papers and Annual Alma
 nae, warned the public against it,
 | See our Almanac, for lS57-page 1. | THE GREEN SYSTEM.
 .There is another system of practice be-
 coming quite popular in the treatment of con sumption, namely. that of the Green or Burn 1 ing method which consists of swinging down
 the throat solution of nitrate of silver for 1 the purpose of burning the concretions that
 may be there olmed,
 1 We look apon this practice as dangerous as that of he inhaliNs; fer instead of healing ! the lungs, ia removing coheret!ons of tuoer- cles, irl ita.es, aud produces sores, ulcers, &c. l 1t IS a blind. unsafe, and dangel ous method Of treatment, and witt kill more than 1t will cure" 1 It is not our design in this article, to dis cuss the correctness of medication in the case of Mr. Whitney, under the treatment of Drs. Mott and Beales in the various symptoms ex- hibted from the l4th of December to the time of his decease; but, we do most religlously and sacredly believe taking Dr. Beale's state inent-who lt appears from the evidence given before the Academy of Medicine, knew more ot the physical and constitutional con, dition of Mr Whitney's system than any one else--that Railways Ready Relief, Regulating Pills and RenovatIng Resolvent would have saved his life.
 STATEMENT OF DR BEALES.
 ..Dr Beales said Daing the number of years that have attended Mr. Whtney's family. 1 have net known Mr samuel Whit ley 70 be seriously ill., % as to be confined to to his bed; bnt he has for long time been subiect to various Arrangements of the diges- tive organs, such as want of appetite to pdt- ty of the bowels deficiency of the bilious se- etetions, and occasionally onchla cough"
 There are thousands and tens of thousands, tn oughout lhe United States who have been similarly afflicted, and relieved flom their
  lief. Regulating Pills and Resolvent In fact, every day we are visited by patients. com plainihg of the same ailments, who become speedily relieved from their difficulties by the medication of these remedies.
 Let us again refer to the statement of Dr. Beales and endorsed by Df. Mott, of the treat ment in this ease fiom P. M. of the llth of December. The case, as presented, is fully stated in the Herald of the 20th of January;
 I kl,t. T, numerous other symptoms, suffered severely from irritation and severe pain ln the throat; hls breathing was occasionally irregular, and almost spasmodic; coughing almost lncessant- lv; speaking with great difficulty and pain in a hoarse and unnatural tone of voice. Dr. Beales gave the patient medicine, for the pur- pose of producing reaction; but the reme- dies given, 1t seems, utterly failed Had he given, on the Instant, Railways Ready Re- lief. he would have secured the desired result
 Six honis later, the Doctor found his pa- tient suffering severe pain. described to be in
 the laryux down the course of the trachea to 5he chest, and round to the cervcal vertebra Notwithstanding the great excitement ner- vousness and terror, with pulse at ll2, the Doctor administered preparation of Anti mony and Morphine, for the purpose evidently of soothing the pain, exciting the skin to more natural action. and allaying the nervous excitability of the patient Had he applied RADWAY'S READY RELIEF, he would have succeeded; his remedies, however, had the opposite effect. Eight hours after this medication, he applied to the throat of the pa- tent an Bnodyne linimentn If Radway's Ready Relief was obnoxious to the Doctor. he should have applied the Bnodyne lninent 2I hours earlier.
 Dr. Beales states that he S.has for lone time been subjected to Arrangement of the digestive organs, and torpidity of the bowels, ; which ia other words imply disordered con
