LECTURES AT SPRINGFIELD.
| We see it announced, that DR.. o. a.
Wheeler, who during the past few months
| has lectured somewhat extensively in this
state and eastern New York, upon "the
human system ard the laAs of health" will
commence a cOurse of lectures at this place
Friday evening, the 18Th inst. Having had
the privilege Cf listening TO the doctor,
| three evenings, We do not hesitate o recon-
mend him to the thinking portion of the
community wherever he may advertise to
hold forth.
While treating his subjects, as of course
he must, scientifically, he is very SUCCESS
ful in finding language which the average
hearer readily comprehends desideratum
not always attained by lectures. especially
on subjects. such as the doctor specially
treats.
His charge for admission to full course
of lectures is very low; so low, that it
would not be at all surprising if some had
drawn the conclusion, that they are of but
little worth. But this is very far from a
correct conclusion, as those who have
! heard them can fully attest.
Our advice 10 Springfield folks is, to at
tend the entire course, and we have no
sort Of question but what at the close, every
one so doing will lie fully satisfied, and fe ell
that the invCstm, mt has been one of the best
that has often come within their reach.
1t can but be well to learn all we may of
| the structure and best means of preserving
our lOdies these curious houses, which for
! the present, at least, We are all quite will
| ing to dwell in. STAR.
