Attention, Doctors!


j We are glad TO remark that the Leg
islaturc, during its recent session, passed
an act declaring that all the provisions
aud rcmsdies Of the Agricultural Lien
Law Of 1856 ''shall henceforsh apply to
persons advancing medicines or medical
attendance as q physician; with the
limitation however that the fee for each
and overy professional visit shall not
exceed one dollar, aud ten cents per
milo for travel, which price embraces
the prescription.
From the language used, which is
somewhat obscure, It is doubtful whether
tho act applies to other physiciahs than
those who practice outside Of the limits
Of Incorporated cities, towns or villages.
1t may also bo doubtful whether tho
provisions for, a lien on crops are not in
conflict with certain constitutional pro.
visions as to the Homestead. 20 LII
Whatever may be the eventual ruling
Of the Courts op these points, the Leg.
islature has evidently shown a desire to
aid, to the extent of its power, one o I
:io ls.Sev aoses,,ug, hard.worxiug and
poorly paid Of all professional classes
that Of the country Doctors.

The more that is drunk, the more water passes
away, or the system would suffer. As it il, the

lungs are all drawn upon. The result is as
may be expected exhaustion. For tins reason
the man who drinks much water, particularly
during the Summer and in the hottest weather,
is less able TO endure fatigue. The water is Of
no benefit to hm-that ia, the excess. 1t must
