THE CHEMISTRY OF MEDICINE
Among the special delights which have
so richly repaid our visit to New Eng
land was the inspection, it was our
privilege to make of DR.. J. G. Aver g.
Co.'S Laboratory, at Lowell Although
we knew by hear-sny, that it was large.
yet we were surprised when we came
into view of its real magnitude, and
still more by the extent and compton
ton of it's truly immense business -
The whole massive structure is In
fact one vast chemical laboratory, in
in which the processes of this wonder
full art are constantly going on. Medi-
co chemical science has found that the
curative properties ofany substance cx-
ist in some one or more of its compo-
nent parts. Thus the remedial effects
of opium are due solely to the morphia
it contains, although this is but one
eighteenth part of its weight the other
seventeen parts are gum, extractive
and inert or offensive matter. DIR. Ay-
er's system separates the medical prop-
critics Of each substance employed, aud
we are here shown the processes by
which the UirtUes Of each remedial agent
are chased through the alembics until
they come out completely pure at last.
These concentrated, purified medical
properties, or virtues, are finally com
bined together to produce the rem idies
which have made themselves a reputa-
ton for unrivaled excellence, all over
the world. Not only does the Doctor
disclaim all secrecy in his art and ex-
plain every process and every particular.
but he maintains that this is the only
process by which the people can be
supplied with the best possible remedies
for the treatment of disease The Form.
ula by which his remedies are made are
published ia the medical Journals and
have been prescn ed to large part Of
the medical Faculty of the United
States, aud arc constantly sent by mail
to such physicians as apply for them.-

officers and men, that the enemy should

1t is well known that reinforcements
arrived from IIarper's Ferry, by fore
ed march on Wednesday evening, and
that there we're strong reserves who
were ready for service on Thursday, and
had not been in the fight of the pre-
vious day. Thus the two armies rested
through Thursday, with only occasional
firing between pickets. The river was
only three miles in the enemy's rear,
with an unobstructed road to the ford,
which the enemy were evidently intent
on reaching as near as possible. Now
was our great opportunity; and every
one in the army and out expected to
sec the fulfllmcnt Of the promises held
out that the rebel host would be cap
tured or destroyed in attempting tho
passage Of the river.

liked steady, menacing gaze up N tho brute.
The tiger sprung frrociOusly upon his intended
victim, WIN. with extraordinary bOldnesS and
rapidity, thrust his fist into the gaping Jaws,
and at the same moment, with his keen though
