In n series Of papers on 1.-THE Remedies
Of Nature an eminent English physi-
clan comments upon past II present
medical treatment; n though prcsuma-

argc which, If he be wise, he will hasten
TO anvil himself of. Perhaps it l. the
authors intention that he should, for Mt
one mchient he seems to drop his voice TO
n whisper while admonishing the fra

drugging, and Mt another talks in stem
torian tones over their heads, warning
the public to look to nature rather thai
to art for relief fram all the minor all
ments to which humanity il heir. IL

them whu have come to lean upon their

often adapted to allay the fears of the
patient.
