the lives of his patients to depend upon
them in serious cases, and with their time
and comfort in mtlder attacks" In this
respect he claims to have followed Hahue-
mann, the founder of the school Of Ho-
meopathy.
OF the Homeopathic principle, 'iH'ftid
siali5us eurantur, he says:
"The dogma, similid simiiibHs etfraHtIr,
was long stumbling block to me; 1t
seemed SO utterly opposed To reason that
it was with difficulty could force myself
to practise according TO it. But many
years ago. hit upon an explanation which
was aud is still, perfectly satisfactory to
me. Il is selE-evident that, in order to
cure any disease, state different from that
presented by the disease must be brought
about; hence, a curative drug must either
primarily or seeondariIy exert an GLtsrGhUe
action; that is, if we leave mere revulsiVe
effects out Of the argument for the present
Similarity is not identity, but similar
thing, although it resembles somewhat, or
even strongly, also differs somewhat, or
even greatly. Hence, drug which acts
similarly TO the action of any given dis
ease also differs somewhat in its action,
and ultimately may exert an GlterGiiVs eff.
feet Similarity is hybrid consisting OF
a great or greater degree of resem=
bInnce, coupled with less or lesser
amount of differences n fact, similarity
may be defined as a sliyht degree Of Differ
enee, quite as we'll as interpreting It Us
great degree of resemblance. Hence, the
Homeopathic law Is only an apparent
aud JrGgmsntdry truth, not a complete

ment For opposite OrantagOnistic things
are such Us differ in the greatest degreei
while similar things are merely snSh as
differ in the least or lesser degree, or in
certain particulars, while in others they
may be ESSENTIALLY different Identity ex-
cludes the idea of difference, while similar
ity may include only the idea of casual
likeness. Upon these ideas or principles
have long thought, studied, aud practieed,
and have gradually become more and more
convinced that the Homeopathic is only a
partially, or even only an apparently, true
law; mere fragment of the greater law of
alternative antagOnistic action which has
been practiced upon for ages" % ssl
The immense advances made by the reg
nlar school in the different departments of
cura,ivcseienee kaye successfully forced the
student, whatever his prejudices ma have
been, TO give the larger portion of his at
tention to the publications. of the dominant
school. Having failed to induce the Hoo
maopithic school toconsiderproperly these
advances, and to convince them that the
"healing art is so far from having attained
Il state of perfection that no school has n
right, wholly, TO despise and reject the
other" DR.. Peters says he is compelled to
sprefer the greater to the lesser truth, y
and, however. painfully and reluctantly,
he casts his lot with other friends, other
theories, and other practice"

SINCE the publication of Judge Thomp-
sons detected secession letters, good
deal of curiosity has been expressed to sec
some of those $500 lines of poetry-that
" strange, wild, aud varied but not fAutas-
tic production which was disemboweled
during two whole days of frenzy last win
ter. As none of the book publishers are
.'stout hearted" enough to risk its publi-
cation, the production seems bound to
"dic and give no sign" unless we take it
in hands, To crafty thirsty public we
are willing to try few slices of it and run
the risk. To commence, we will take ''the
dialogue OF devilsls' asa matter of local
interest, in the expectation that it will
prove q report Of Conversations between
the Judge and other Seeessionists id some
Of tue garrels aud hack rooms about town.
II we get on smoothly with the dialogue,
and find that the thing is likely to have a
run, we will try the "pasquinade," the
SATIRE aud the MISUNDERSTANDING up
in grand crash with the "oratorio," after
the Paiternlof '.Robert the devil!'
All this being done, and the thing
stamped success, we shall publish wood
cut edition, after the style of Beadle's
dime novels, and advertise it in the New
York Ledger. If we make money we will
pay the Judge his back salary, aud invest
the balance IN niuety-niue per cent Con-
fcderate bonds for his use when Lee comes.

editor of the American .Nediedi Tines, given

science. lie states that, from his earliest
acquaintance with the profession, through
his experience as an employee in whole-
sale drug store, 70 his introduction to the
practice of medicine, he had been under
the influence, aud much in the society, of
distinguished Homeopathists; aud through
all it had been his feryeut prayer, If not

aud rational development, would supply all
that was deficient 10 medicine. All his
