URINO-PATHOLOGY.

The blood as it circulates gives to each
part the means of repairing itself, by
furnishing it with material for new
growth and it possesses the power at
the same time of washing away, as it
were, from each part whatever of its
tissues have become worn out, diseased.
or useless. If any part of the human
system becomes diseased, there will be
more Of these particles passed off from
this diseased part than from the healthy
parts, at the same time. And as tho
different parts of the system are of diff
ferent composition, colors, consistence.
&C., SO much SO that almost any person
can distinguish merely by their appear
ance, the bones from the muscles, the
hrer from the lungs, the kidneys from
the brain, or any one part from another,
80 the diseased particles from these parts
are also different and distinguishable
one from the other.
These PARTICLES are passed off IN the
urinary excretion. Therefore, when
any organ or part gives out these dis
eased particles, it Is plain that it will
alter the general properties and COM
position OF that fluid not only, but that
every different disorder will impart it's
own peculiar stamp to the same. Hence
we need only know what that peculiar
stamp is to pronounce upon the nature.
extent, and character, OF the disorder.
This is not mere idle theory. The prin-
ciples OF Urino-P anthology have been re-
duced to systematic form, and the
practice has been regulated according

stamp it as a science.
We have been In the active practice
of medicine in VT. for nearly 10 years,
during which time we have treated
more than $4,000 different patients,
thus including every character and va
rlety OF disease, and can say with Pro-
lessor Braithwaite, that we can arrive
at more accurate knowledge respect
ing the generality of diseases from ex-
amining the urine than from any other
system as also with DR.. Prout, that
whatever may be the disease, the urine
seldom fails In furnishing clue to the

We are all aware, however, that some
practitioners are opposed to this sys-
tenn OF diagnosis.
This arises entirely from their incom-

these we court an examination of its
merits, and promise to render full sat-
isfaction in the discrimination of every
case, and prove to every intelligent
physician who will make application
chat our course is scientific one.
Suffice it to say, that our daily prac
tice and experience have proven these
facts, and we advise all those laboring
under chronic affections, particularly,

Those living at distance, by sending
a vial of urine for examination, can have
the necessary medicines sent them.
The HUMAN FlaURB The proportions
Of the human Il cure are strictly matnemati-
cal. TIE whole figure is SIX times the
ength OF the foot. Whether the form be
slender or plump. the rule holds good; any
deviation from it is departure from the
highest beauty in proportion. Tue Greeks
made all their statutes according to this
rule. Tue face, from the highest point of
Tue forehead, where the hair begins, to the
