A FEW THOUGHTS ON MEDICAL SCI.
tNcE,


Mr.. EDITOR, AS many of the readers
Of your invaluable paper were much d.
verted by piece of sarcasm, (Which
contained no valuable information what
every that appeared in its columns not
long since over the signature OF "By-
thong" | thought it would not be intru-
sive for me to offer lew stray thoughts
on subject which should deeply interest
every one who has or may have an i'll to
cure. l am fully aware, by so doing, that
| shall occupy conLroNerted grounds. and
may probably call down upon my devo d
head the thunder OF tie whole medl, ii
school of this county. But | hope Cne
good people will bear with me, and snouid
my first effort here OF this kind but hnd a
resting place within their minds, as did
Bythong's great battle with then rSlbie
natures, !, most assuredly shall be amply
repaid for my time and trouble.
The subject upon which l shall offer
those thoughts is, the subject of Fever
and Inflammation considered as disease,
with the treatment thereof. Here lies
the difference between the Two schools of
medicine, and is the foundation OF the
two systems of practice SO very widely
different in their effects upon the human
system.
There are many theories and specula-
tions upon this important subject. Pro
fessor Payne says, "The most important
principles in medicine are those which
especially relate to fever and inhamma-
ton. Prof. Cluterbuck says, "Feyer

that if the bones of all who have died
premature deaths of fevers for the last
1000 years could be collected together,
they would make a mountain that would
as.onish Heaven and terryy the Earth ;
and the lives tl.at have been sacrificed in
fevers would far exceed all who have died
In the same time from pestilehce, famine
and the sword And also that the blood
drawn from fever patients alone, would
form an ocean that would sscim the liv.

Once with an honest Dutchman walking,
About his troubles he was talking
The most of which seemed to arise
From friends and wife's perversi;ies.
When he took his breath, his pipe to fill,
ltentured to suggest, that will
Was oft the cause of human ill
That life was full of self denials,
And every man had his own tlials.
"Iis not the WILL, he quick replied,
"Bat it's the wos'r by which I'm tried,
When people will I'm always glad
IT'S only when they won't I'm mad
Contrary folks, like mine old hen,
Who laid dozen eggs, and then,
Instead of sitting down to hatch
Runs off into mine garden patch
goes and catches her and brings her,
And back on her nest filings her;
And then | snaps her on the head,
And tells her: "Sit there you old jlde |"
But sit she won't, Tor all suy,
She's up again aud ruts ava
Then wa, mad, as md as fire
But once agaiu thought d tr, her.
So after her soou makes chase
And brings her back to the old place
And then Snaps her great deal,
And does my best 10 max, her ,epl
That she must do as she was bid
But not a bit Of 1t she did.
She was the most contrariest bird,

III fix her now, for if don t.
My will is conquered by her won
SO then l goes and gets some blocks,
And with them makes little box
Aud takes some straw, the very best
And makes the nicest kind o! nest.
Then in the nest the eggs place,
And feel stnile upon M. face,
As thinks, now ut last I've got ner,
When in the little box I've sot her,
For to this little box did
Consider must have lid,
So that she couldn't get away,
But in it, till she hatched, must stay
And then again, once more chase her,
And catch, and In tue box l place her.
Again | Snaps her on the head,
Unit fear she might be dead,
and then, when had made her sit down,
Immediately clsps the lid on.
And now, thinks |, We got her fast,
She III have to do her work at last
No longer shall stand the brunt
Of this old hens confounded won't
So goes in and tells mine folks.
And then takes mine pipe and smokes,
And walks about and feels so good
That'wouIdu't yields at length to would
And as SO oft I'd snapped the hen,
l took some 'schnapps' msyelf, and then

THE PUBLIC DEBT.-Mr. Spaulding, an
able member of the committee of Ways and
Means otthe House of Representatives, made
statement last week in reference to the
public debt that places our national finances
in more favorable condition than we had
supposed the facts would warrant. The pub
lie debt on the 18th of January was $780,
764,ooo. Up to next July, the estimates,
founded upon past expenditures, make the
debt 100000, 900, and if the war continues
