HEALTH---Bv Dr.. Price,

The Importance OF health cannot be too much APP
preciated. There are thousands who consider it Of
but little consequence, until, by some unexpected,
or unIorseen event, aviolent attack OF disease takes
place. 1t is then that the necessities of the case
call forth theil utmost energies; but having hereto
fore, while in the enjoyment Of health, given it
bat little reflection. all that regards theirrestortion
appears to be involved in impenetrable darkness
pney fly to those means which their imagination
suggests might be useful or which they may hear of
as being beneficial to another, that which may be
recommended byfriends, without the possibility OF
even being abe tojudge whether the applications may
prove beneficial Or injurious. 1t may prove success
full or it may not; if not it must produce injury
Simple medicines by injudicious administration are
often calculated 10 prove Injurious for if no other
effect is produced time is lost and the disease by de-
lay allowed to become more firmly fastened upon
the organ orpart implicated In no instance should
any person be allowed to prescribe suggest tie
use ofan article however simple for any disease
less capable offully understanding the character OF
the disease and the remedy necessary to remove
it. Thefe is no DOUBT but that thousands year
y through ignorant and Systematic practice, hurl
cd into eternity. The design OF medicine is 10 re-
disease. and ii OF the right description will re-
move il il judiciously applied The uncertainty OF its
action is much the iaut OF the medicine
is the ignorance OF the person prescribing it. But
now do medicines act ? All medicines qualified for
must produce mole or less debility. Disease IN no
instance should be thrown rom the system faster

OF food, the loss sustained by throwing off tis dis
eased matter is re-supplled This circumstance can
not but be apparenG TO all; yet how generally is the
| opposite result experienced. The use OF stlmulant5
generally much in use; scarcely do hear of
any casesof debility but that bark wine and other
stimuapts have been resorted to- The use OF stmu-
lants upon general principles we oppose. What are
