To the people suffering by the general
prevalence Of bilious or Spring fever,
the following extract from The Western
Journal, published in ls45 by Drs. Luns-
ford. Yandell, Thomas w. Colescott,
and Daniel Drake, may be interesting:
ASTOUNDING MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
We we're about to notice this wonder
full discovery, but the following article,
which we find in the Louisville Daily
Journal, is done to our hands so well
that we must crafty ourselves by copy
ing it:
There are but few persons who have
not been very sick at some period of
their lives. All such persons have quite
a vivid recollection of the pangs they
then suffered. They felt vastly uncom-
Portable, but did not accurately under
stand what it was that brought about
the Affections Of mind and body they
experienced.
We have the pleasure of announcing
that philosophy, analysis, and the mi
croscope have discovered the reason why,
when as person is diseased, he feels pro-
digiously restless and uneasy. From the
New York Mirror we learn that very
cute genius, Professor Bronson, has in
formed the. world about it. Listen:
professor Bronson stated in his con-
Guiding lecture last week, that if a drop
of human blood be subjected to examin-
alton by the oxhydrogen microscope, and
'ar.ss.-,niided some twenty millions of times,
all the species of animals now existing
on the earth, or that have existed during
the different stages of creation, for mil
lions of years past, will be there discov-
ed. In the blood Of healthy person
all the animalcule are queit and peace
able; but in the blocl of diseased per-
son they are furious, raging and preying
upon each other. This is stated in illus
tration of his position that man contains
within himself all the principles of the
universe. 1t was also asserted that if a
dead cat be thrown into pool Of stag
pant water and allowed to dissolve there,
drop of water taken from any part Of
the pool and examined as above will stop
every species of animal of the cat kind
that has ever existed on the earth raging
and destroying one another. The bodie:
of all lower animals being made up OF
animalculse similar to themselves and the
body of man being compounded of al
that is below the scale of creation
We, like most other specimens of hu
manity, have been the victims of lever
during the continuance of which we fel
as hot as fresh-baked pancakes and as un
easy as stranded eels. We were in per
feet ignorance of the cause, and arr
thankful to the learned professor for thu
valuable information he has given US
From the results of the professors pro
found investigations it appears yer,
clear that when man is laboring unde
hot bilious fever, a most destructive
warfare is going on in every drop o
blood that runs in his veins. In eacl
drop megatheriums, mammoths with aw
full tusks; elephants with huge trunks
lions with shaggy manes; rhinoceroses
panthers, sperm and blubber whales
spotted leopards, tigers, bald-heade'
eagles, hyenas, sharks, rattlesnskes, will
boars, Demonstrators. condors, snaT
p ping-turtles, crmadillos, catamounts
; tarsntulas, antedeluvian icthsaurian'
= scorpions, centipedes, fretful porcupine'
ay-up-the-creeks, white bears, wolves
; alligators, ostriches, sea serpents, mel
maids, rats, cats, mice, pigs, lizards, an
: jackasses, together with vast assor
3 ment of running, crawling, flying
q swimming, and creeping things, whic
= existed long before drop of his bloc
was created. We say that when poo
: devil has fever all these animals an
I many thousand more iniest each drop ,
: his blood, biting, scratching, and tearin
a each other in million different and il
genious ways.
No wonder fellow feels, to speak a
; ter the fashion Of sinners, "deviASh III

b the jackasses abound in Brannons bloo'
b he is an incorrigle ass. CoLEsooTr.
