THE BLOOD.

1t must be recollected that if the
blood be unhealthy, it cannot impart
Unnecessary degree ofhealth, strength,
and vitality. to organs and structures
dependent upon it for nutrition, and
that ultimately the brain, nerves, lungs,
heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, muscles,
etc, will become deranged in their sew
eral functions, which arrangement con-
tinuing, will terminate in organic le-
sions. The especial organs in which
disease will preponderate depends upon
the peculiar relations between these
{. and the abnormal constituents Of the
( blood thus, if the blood disease be
confined to those constituents necessa,
nv for the nutrition of the bone, some
portion of the osseous system will sui
fer; if the blood constituents required
for the brain or nerves are abnormal
these organs will become diseased IL
preference to others, etc.
Thus, the treatment pursued mus
not only purify the blood, and impair
healthy activity to organs functlonally
deranged, but must also give nervous
: energy to them, so that there will be
sound, vigorous vitality of the tissues

OUR PAPER.

We feel satisfied that this work will
call upon US the frowns of some Of the
would-be orthodox physicians of the
place, not only on account of our OBJ
iections to the use of Mercury and the
lancet, but on account Of the nlalch1sh
sentimentality they maintain against
the Uroscopian System.
But as health is the most precious OF
all things, the science of protecting
life and health is the modest of all sci
Iences, and is therefore the most worthy
the attention of all mankind. Hence
we consider an obstinate adherence to
an unsuccessful mode of practice, as
Ioccasioned by self conceit, which pro-
ceeds from ignorance, pride or interest
and therefore submit this regardless OF
any such frowns, knowing that when
truth is fairly presented to the honest
mind, it seldom fails of receiving a cor
dial welcome. By reason, truth, and
the achievements of success, then, gen
tie reader, you will judge us.

ence is becoming enriched thereby also.
DR.. Plumley has been thus engaged
in the scientific analysis and micro
r scopic examination of the urine in all
: chronic and complicated diseases for
, more than ten years.

d powerful microscopes, and is prepared

LENGTH OF TINE REQUIRED TO
CURE DISEASE.

Chronic diseases require considera-
bic length of time in order to be thor
oughly cured, which cure has to be eff
fected, molecule by molecule, cell by
cell, globule by globule, during the
changes effected in the system from a
morbid to healthy condition. The
quantity of medicine, or the length of
time necessary for cure, can never be
precisely or satisfactorily known at the
commencement of the treatment. We
always endeavor, however, to make as
near an estimate of the time requied as
we possibly can, as well as the proba-
bic cost, where the patient desires to
know. And in no case will we hold
out inducements to commence course
of treatment where there is no hope o.
cure, nor prospect of relief.

ERRONEOUS PRACTICE.

''Onc of the most erroneous systems
of practice, and one which is fraught
with much danger, is the patching or
palliating treatment, by which synp-
toms only are attacked, while the NOR
bid changes giving rise to them are
neglected or overlooked. Thus, a per-
son suffering from pain, or a constant
cough, applies to medical man who,
instead of attacking the abnormal con-
dition giving rise to his symptoms,
merely palliates or deadens them by the
administration of medicines which par
alyze or destroy the nervous or muscu-
lar action of the parts concerned. The
patient thinking himself cured, has an
exalted opinion of the physicians skill /;
but, unfortunately, in a few weeks or
months the symptoms reappear with
Increased severity-application is made
to the same physician, and with similar
results, and he becomes permanent
lcustomer of the physician"
This is all wrong, and the sooner this
system is corrected the better. We
have always endeavored to permanent
ly cure our patients, where it is at all
practicable or even possible using oul
, utmost endeavors in every case, with
out regard to the time employed in the
investigation of the disease, or the cos
/ lof the best remedies.

DIAGNOSIS.

For physician to be successful in
chronic diseases, and especially i'll
nervous affections, he must be bright,
firm, confident, and explicit; he must
show that he knows the value of every
symptom, and is able to explain it with
out mist of words that mean nothing !;
he must prove that he knows what he
has to do, that he knows how to do it,
the time it will require, and the difficult
ties he will meet with.
We always endeavor to estimate as
nearly as possible the time it will take
to cure, as well as the probable cost.
that the patients may also know what

CERABLENEss OF DISEASE.

Every disease has its durable stage
under proper treatment, and its '7'cura-
bic stage under any treatment. The
durable period is during the early part
Of the disease, and before decomposi-
ton or organic changes have occurred
in the organs OF tissues affected the
incurable period is in the advanced con
dition Of the disease, when the organs
or tissues affected have become hard
ened, softened, undergone fatty degen
Grafton, or become morbidly changed
in some other way.

Communicated
DR.. PLUMLEY.

When Master Mechanic, Artist, or
Professor of any science, makes appll-
cation for employment in his business,
he is generally expected to exhibit
some references as to his qualities and
qualifications.
From the many favorable notices
presented by the ''press" of Montpelier,
and surrounding country, as also some
Of the medical journals of the country,
in reference to the ability and qualifi-
cations of Dr. Plumley, of Main Street,
we cannot help regarding him as among
the most successful practitioners of the
age.
In fact, from thevast number of per-
sons who daily crowd his Office for re-
lief. and the general satisfaction that
seems to be rendered by his prescrip-
tons and treatment, we see no good
reason why he should not be thus re-
garded.
His patients are not alone the resi-
dents of Montpelier and Washington
County, but his skill and fame has
spread far and wide, all over the coun-
try, and numbers visit him from every
part.
His system of practice is peculiar
yet most scientific being eclectic il
principle, and analytic and demonstra
tive in practice. His microscopic ex
aminations of the urine are among his
most scientific tests Of disease. This
, subject is now daily attracting the at
