Poisonous Medicines.

The theory that the virus Of diseases can
be safely counte. acted BY doses Of poison,
is fa'se and la gerous. Within the last
twenty five years, not less than score Of
viruleat poisons have been added 10 the
repository Of the medical profession. They
are given in small doses, otherwise they
would destroy life Immediately; but even
in minute quantities, they Droduce, ulti-
r.ately, very disastrous effects. 1t is.un-
wise and nnphilosophical to employ, as
remedies, powerful and insidious drugs,
which, in suhjugating one disease, SOW the
seeds Of another still more unmanageable
