VALUE LIFE.-Our public hospitals need
refurm. Neither the food nor the treat
ment Of their inmates is what it ought to
be. The great object in most Of these in
stitutions seems to be, TO doctor the sick
ut the least possible expense. As Cap
tain Bunsby might say, "if they live, so,
If they die, so, also." The worst feature
of the whole is, that the patients are used
as living subjects for young practitioners
to experiment upon. These elves of the
medical schools expect to obtain the
knowledge necessary in private practice,
by testing the properties and powers of
medicines upon the helpless wretches
placed under, their charge. Deny this
!, \ ) -. 4e AI2S--' 4 % be true.
For our own part, we are far from
placing implicit faith in the prescriptions
of the faculty. Au contraire, we have
infinitely more confidence in the world
pervading remedies Of Professor Holloway
than in all the tinctures, decoctions, ano-
dvnes, and cathaTtics recommended in
the professional textbooks. Doubtless,
the egOtistic nabobs at the head of some
of our medical institutions would desig-
nate his Pills and Ointment as empirical
preparations. DEE we say, no. Empi-
RIGS experiment upon the diseased sys-
tenn; but he does not. He claims the
trust and confidence Of invAlids on sure
grounds--aH unbrokeu series of cures,
embracing all internal and external CON-
plants, and running through no less a
period than the fourth Of a century !
Can Imagination conceive of more conclu-
sire testimony thanthts? Does aot s0ch
a voucher, bearing the Endorsements of
the sick in every cline, and backed by
the favorable opinions and friendly de-
crees of some Of the leading governments
Of Europe, carry more weight with it
than a whole stack Of diplomas p Sun

men who have stood by the Government
in the infected districts, by depriving
them Of the argument for the cause an
act to sacrifice friends where friends were
most wanted, to crafty the revenge and
hate Of those who can give no aid when
all is wanted an act to throw an addition
