Onoe, when travelling in stage coach, met
q young lady who seemed 10 he on the coneiaht

in this situation are apt to show themselves

not sensitive in that respect. They are nothke'

iaake fun of them but when we come 10 human
beings, that is quite another thing. SO II seem-

running across the fields, swinging her pag az

to stop. The good natured eoachman drew up
his horses, and the good old lady, coming to the
fence by the roadsiue, squeezed herself through
the bars, which were not only in horizontal
position, hut very near together. The young

into operation, all the original States of the

witnessed in that anomalous body, the medical
profession, which cliags with the iron tenacity
Of superstition to its eifete and exploded tradi-

self-eyident from the fact that few. II any,
physicians are couversant with the affinity ex-
listing between disease and its remedy. True
