The SCIENCES OF IirE AND DEA H
We observe that machine for casting bull
let's, capable Of turning out one hundred
and sixty rifle balls per minute, has been
started at Washington. Twice n much
attention ~ paid Ia the scicnce Of killing
rs To that of curing. More thnn five hun
drcd instruments at Wholesale destruction
have been pnttu'ed within The last twenty
years, and only two great curratives, iloI-
Ioway's Pills and Ointment, have been in.
troduced within that time. II would seem
however, that these medicines pretty fairly
balance the account between the healing
art and the science Of destruction. The
probability is, that they save much great
er number OF lives than patent rifles, pis-
tolls and cannon destroy; and rs their con-
sumption is increasing in almost geometri-
cal ratio in this country. the odd, in their
