The Chrono-Thermaust; Or People's Medica...
The Chrono-ThermaUst ; or People ' s Medical Enqidrer . March , 1850 . London : Charles Gilpin , 5 , Bishopsgate-street Without . _JfoxwTTHSXAifDiNG the great development in p hysical science -whieh distinguishes the present day , it is universally admitted that the art of medicine has not kept pace with the movement o f progression . This retardment , ¦ we are inclined to believe , may be traced
to that narrow-minded policy which characterises the majority of those belonging to a profession that , of all others , should be the most liberal and enlightened . As a class , medical men have always dreaded innovation , and , attached to theories which have no foundation in nature , they have hitherto attacked "with derision and obloquy every writer who has come forward with the laudable endeavour of
exposing error , and oering views , whereby their art might be improved . Br . Samuel Dickson—the author of "Fallacies of the Faculty , " and who has just published the first number of a periodical , entitled tlie Chrono-Tkermatist—forms a striking illustration how f ar envy and jealousy are raneorously cherished towards those who hare the moral courage to lay bare the false and
dangerous theories of an art , the advancement of which , as it has been justly said , bears no proportion to its antiquity . Dr . Dickson tells ns—in language which indicates deep-injured feeling—that he has heen treated as the overloaded ass treated the good-natured man who relieved it o f a part o f its burden ; " he has been , " he informs us , "kicked and calumniated _, and belied—kicked by the asses he would have befriended . " Alludiner to his former
work upon the errors of the faculty , he goes onto remark , "If his enemies think he is dead , they were never more mistaken . He was only asleep ; and now he awakes , to agitate , agitate , agitate—to know no rest till the eyes of the pubiie be opened to the infamy ofa class of men , to whom—fearless alike of open force and secret fraud—their combined numbers , and their silent machinery of corruption and collusion—he now flings down the gauntlet of contempt and defiance . Creatures who traffic in the blood and sinews of a nationwho eat their dishonest bread at the expense of the sick , whose sufferings they prolong—who turn one of the most noble and God-like arts
mto ibe basest and vilest of callings—the author ofthe Chrono-Thermal system has armed himself at all points , Tot the long and sustained encounter 1 " Such a defiance , and such terse , but severe allegations , may be rather startling to those _unacquainted with the real state of medical practice . _TVe , however , must candidly avow , Dr . Dickson has not been treated fairly . IVe have carefully perused his work , and are disposed to believe that much is required to place the profession in a more honourable _portion than what it now enjoys . The errors _which prevail , and the deplorable ignorance
that exists amongst the general herd of practitioners , have long disfigured it in the estimation of the intelligent portion of societ y . There are many high-minded and enlightened men belonging to the medical professson who admit the prevalence of great evils . Even so iar back as tiie time of Boerhaave , the medical art was in so disgraceful a condition , that he Mdl y declared , more of mankind were killed by medicine than cured by it ; and in our 0 w n day , the late Sir Antony Carlisle , expressed the same sentiment . Dr . Diekson has
fearlessl y denounced and exposed its errors , in broad and unsparing language ; and we would _aggeat to the writers of medical reviews , that ti would he more fair and candid to meet . the _Wirono-Thennalisin upon other grounds than tbose of abuse and calumnv , for " who , " according to Milton , " every new truth put to toe worse in a free and open encounter ? " « e shall not here enter upon any investigation _Regarding the theories of disease propounded _* _f Dr . Dickson , but we should be doing ton great injustice were we to withhold our
_arowal of praise to the talent which he evinces whilst elucidating his doctrines . The views which he developea in regard to the predisposing causes of Cholera , we deem highly correct , and concur with him freel y when he says , that tte primary seat of the disease i 3 to be found in the brain and nervous system . The treatnieut of this disease reflects great opprobrium _Upon medical men in general ; and we are the niore impressed with the science of Dr . _Dicky ' s views by knowing , that in decided cases of Cholera , tiie most beneficial results have ar _jsenby directing attention to the
_cerebrospinal system ; one application of a sinipism a , on g the course ofthe spine , we have seen in "JO'S than one instance arrest , almost _imme-*^* tely , the progress of this terrible malady _, _^ _vould be well that the majority of _tbemedi-** -profession would think for themselves , and _"Otimplicifl yfoUowdoctrinespregnant with the ost nnschievous and fatal consequences .

The Chrono-Thermaust; Or People's Medica...
TAe People ' s Review . Edited by Friends of " Order and Progress . "—London : C . Mitchell , Bed Lion Court , Fleet Street . This publication has breathed its last . In its dying words , complaint is made ofthe "' Northern Star" having " denounced articles , written by men not yet recovered from the wounds and fatigue of revolution , as reactionary papers . " Observe the mischief of men writing under a mask ; but for this statement , we should not have imagined that the authors of
the articles alluded to had anything revolutionary about them . If the writers in this '' Review " did indeed take part in the struggles of 1848-49 , we mast say , that judging them by their own literary productions , we regret not their failure . Better is it that the present system should endure until the veritable revolutionists are strong enough to establish their ascendancy , than that tbose who at present rule should be cashiered only to make way for the Friends of" Order and Progress . "
The failure of this publication is easily ac counted for . Its conductors , too liberal for the " Friends of Order , " are too tame and indefinite for the " Friends of Progress . " Men who pride themselves on believing in the integr ty of tyrants , and on acting up to that belief , have no vocation for editing a " People ' s Review . " The assertion that " beneficial changes are at the command of those who
can reach the understanding of rulers , is , as the Americans would say , all bosh . According to the editors ofthe " People ' s Review , " Nicholas , Metternich , Guizot , Thiers , Russell , Cabral , & c , are mere innocents , who do wrong only because they don ' t know better . Poor dears J Why does not Bob Thin start a " ragged school" for the instruction of these unfortunates ? The Lord save us from all
evilparticularly the nuisance of political sentimentalism . The articles in this number on " Progress , " " American Literature / ' the " Factory Question / ' the " Polish Question , '' and " Democracy , " are all ably written ; but , with one or two exceptions , are disfigured by blemishes we have before complained of . We cannot regret the extinction of this " Review ; '' but if its editors will act on Burn ' s Advice to tbe Devil , — "tak a thought an ' men */ ' we shall be happy to meet them again . Democracy cannot tolerate half-and-half partisans . A word to the wise is sufficient .
And Devastating Practice Of Low Diet, In...
devastating practice of low diet , in the treatment of diseases in general , he would have richly merited the highest praise . Truly has it been said , "that more of mankind liave perished b y the lancet than by the sword" Poor Byron fell a victim to this dreadful practice ; it is , however , consolatory to know that some intelligent practitioners participate liberally in those scientific views which Dr . Dickson has , with so much moral courage , boldly proclaimed . Contemplating the medical profession in its present deplorable state , we have no hesitation in saying , that it is one vast system
of quackery ; and yet , we hear , that in the present session of Parliament a bill is to be proposed , whereby additional powers may be given to those bodies , which , constituted as they are , deserve no other character than that of huge antiquated monopolies . Still , we trust , the Leg islature , debased as it is by its unprincipled conduct in resisting all political reform , will have somo portion of common sense left , as to reject at once this measure , and look upon it as a piece of bare-faced effrontery . The growing intelligence of the people will ultimatel y be the best means of checking empiri _cism , whether it be confined to legal or illegal practitioners . Giving power to incorporated bodies that are in themselves the models of
rapacious avarice , and the types of error and ignorance , would only perpetuate those evils which have so long disgraced the profession . Monopolising laws will never make men either wise or honest . We are no advocates for _exclusiveness in any department of knowledge . We respect intelligence , combined with integrity , aud aro pleased to recognise _^ it , whether the elements of science are acquired in a college or a garret . Convinced that Dr . Dickson is influenced by every generous impulse in the exposition which he has brought before the public , and that he is actuated by the best of motives—so as science and art may be rendered subservient and useful to his fellow creatures—we earnestly recommend his zealous animadversions to the notice of our readers .
The Progressionist. Published Weekly. Lo...
The Progressionist . Published weekly . London : Collins , 113 , Fleet-street . This periodical we have on several occasions recommended to onr readers . In the number before us , there are several excellent articles from the pen of the editor , and also from the able and fearless John Rymill _, and other contributors . We select the following : —
OUR SOCIAL SYSTEM . In another place we have alluded to the ten hours WH , and from those remarks it will be seen , tbat we attach importance to the decision of the Legislature on this question . As there stated , we heartily wish success to the men who are seeking to _establishthe ten hours system on aproper and legitimate footing ; because that system recognises the right of the Legislature to interfere to protect labour from the tiger-like grasp of capital , —aright which we have constantlymaintained in opposition to the views of the let-alone , free-trading school of political economists , —views which in our heart and conscience we loathe and abhor .
But because we wish success to the ten hours movement , we wish not to be understood as holding the opinion , that bills of this description can effectually protect tbe industrious classes from the avarice and cupidity of the profitmongers . ! fo . We hold that the bill in question is but a palliative of the evils incident to our social system , and not that it will destroy those evils . "We believe the evils nnder wliich our working millions groan are the necessary results of the system itself—a system which divides the population into lords and serfs , into masters and slaves , and which must , as a matter of necessity , chain the latter to the selfish desires , whims , and caprices of the former . We have a landed aristocracy , renowned in
history and experience for its hatred to popular right aod liberty , and its extreme jealousy of the people ' s power . And this _aristocracy , existing , as it pre tends , by divine right . * and under divine sanction _, holds the land of the country locked up as though in a prison . _Xot one inch of soil can the industrious classes lay their hands on , without the special sanction and permission of this powerful class . If we cultivate that Boil , it must be done chiefly for the profit and _advantage of this same aristocracy , and those under them , who , for a share of the plunder , assist in _riretting our chains , and so prevent our escape from their deadly grasp . We are allowed , it is true , to eat just so much as will enable us to continue our horrible drudgery ; but beyond that , with
some few exceptions , our wealth goes to glut the avarice of the idle , and the physically , mentally , and morally worthless members of society ; and even a large portion of onr own class they keep unwillingly idle , as a reserve upou which they can fall back with tolerable certainty , in case their slaves should become restive under their galling yoke , and so refuse to go through then * menial occupation of working in order that others may enjoy on just such terms as the slaveholders choose to offer . By these means they are enabled to go on continually augmenting their own gains , and as continuall y to draw from the resources of the workers . And if they dare but complain , they are pointed to numbers of their own elass , who are kept idleand
, whom they threaten to take in their places if they do not accede to their brutal terms . And thus they make a portion of the oppressed the very means of perpetuating their own misery and the misery of their unfortunate brother workmen . Hence the want of union amongst the producers . Hence those bitter dissensions that exist in the ranks of the labourers themselves , who behold in the persons of tbeir fellow labourers ( whose industry is _brought into competition with their own ) their veriest enemies ,- and well do the guilty oppressors of their species know the effect which their horrible system
_niust produce ; and well do they , wish the nicest calculation , count on those burning dissensions as the means of perpetuating their hellish craft . And , so long as the soil of the nation continues to be the property of individuals , so long must the landless continue to be the slaves of the , landowners ; because it is in the power of this class , by suffering the land to lie waste , always to keep a surplus of labourers in the market , and then , if tbose labourers complain of their condition , they are insultingly told , that at home there ib no room for them , and , if they are not content to be under the fostering care ofthe _starve-gut philosophers be-

longing to the ranks of their idle oppressors , they must betake themselves to Australia ; while there are 15 , 000 , 000 acres of good land at home which has never yet been Dut under the plough or the spade , nor made available for ; any purposes whatever of cultivation . If the surplus population , as it is insultingly and blasphemously termed , had but the chance , they would speedily alter tbis ; thoy would turn the now barren wastes of our country into smiling gardens of cheerfulness and plenty ; they would , by their labour , cause the deserts of our country to bloom with the Creator ' s luxurious vegetation . But now their arms are palsied , tbeir bodies stricken with decay ; because under the blasting curse of landlordism . Destroy this power , and one-half the work is accomplished ; continue it , and it will be impossible to enioy social
happiness , as it is impossible for the deadly Upas tree to be promotive of health and life . To repeat the laws of primogeniture and entail is only to trifle with the question . It might have the effect of throwing more land into the market , and thus give a chance to wealthy capitalists to purchase ; but who does not see that this would be a conservation ofthe aristocratic principle ? That it would be merely substituting one aristocracy for another , and by no means a more humane or benevolent one than now exists . If we wish to make the soil really contribute to the welfare of society , we must abolish individual ownership entirely , and make the nation , through a freely elected legislature , the sole proprietor of its own natural inheritance . Unless this be done , we may repeal taxes , pass ten hours bills , and the like , but there will never he any effectual protection to industry .
FRENCH DEMOCRACY . AXD THE _EMOLISn PRESSGANG . The thousand and one Etnas of the pressgang , have been spitting forth their burning lava , their fiery hate , and smoky lies upon the sacred champions of liberty . They have hurled the barbarous bolts of hatred ; they have applied the engines of malice ; and they have used all the inventions of men and fiends to blacken , and blast , and damnify the men who have g iven up liberty , property , family , country , and in many cases life itself , for the achievment ot their country ' s freedom . The infernal pressgang of England have rendered themselves eternally infamous by tbeir dastard and
damnable endeavours to cover the sacred names of continental patriots with shame , and overwhelm them with reproach . But their endevours to traduce the motives , blacken the characters , and blast the fair fame of our beloved patriot brethren will prove abortive . The base and truculant crew of hireling scribblers , and mean mercenary thieves , who employ their time to wound the feelings , misrepresent tho intentions , and damnify the character of honourable men , will find their services rewarded in the well merited contempt of all honest men . The base wretches of the pressgang sek to throw back the glorious cause of freedom—social and democratic—by traducing the character of the men who spend their time in
the advocacy of these principles . The Times is daily venting its mean and paltry spleen against the brave democrats and socialists of Pans ; it represents in every issue of its filthy broad sheet , that the socialists are " drunkards , " "thieves , " " spoliators , " " seducers , " and " murderers , " and contends , that should socialism triumph , universal pillage , drunkenness , vice , and murder would be the order of the day . But the Times is an old liar . The democrats and socialists of Paris are not drunkards , seducers , and murderers : they are gentlemen , not of parliament progeny , but of heaven ' s own making ; men of probity , truth and courage . They are not guilty oi the horrible crimes imputed to them : and the Times' correspondent knows as
well as we , that such is not the case . Every christian man is bound to curse these fiendish men of the press with heart hatred . They are infa ' mous and measureless liars , and they merit the derision of all honest men . They should be scouted from society , spurned from the threshold ot every home , and generally avoided as a plague or a pestilence . -They , have cast their nets in hell ; fished for falsehood ; and circumvolved the world follies , with which to assail and assassinate the bravest and the noblest men that ever took human flesh . But tho pressgang has signally failed . The elections of Carnot , Vidal , and De Flotte , in the recent contest at Paris , prove most completely , that social democracy is stronger than ever .
The heavens put on blackness ; the rumbling of the distant thunders may he distinctly heard ; the lightnings will soon career across the sky ; the revolution is at hand ; it can be delayed but a little longer ; it will speedily be ushered in ; and then will the veritable democratic and social republic be proclaimed ! If this triumph he not achieved before the general election of 1852 , most assuredly it will he achieved then . We ferventl y hope that Frenchmen may he able to secure tbeir social rights by the exercise of their politieal rights . Most sincerely do we hope that they may never have to draw the sword in defence of freedom any more . But if the plotting tyrants who now rule France succeed in destroying the republic , and wresting universal suffrage from the people , then we say it is the duty of the people to resist their tyrants by the force of arms , and may God defend the right .
Englishmen ! as you value your country—as you love your wives and little ones—as you value truth , honesty , and freedom , I call upon you to prove your devotion by your faith , your earnestness , yonr sacrifice * , and your works . Push onward the ark of Truth—man the ship of Freedom—forsake her not in storm or in tempest—and depend upon it you will have the satisfaction of seeing her enter the haven in triumph , and into the port of happiness and peace .

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Sir Henry R . Bishop has commenced his second series of admirable lectures on music , at tbis Institution . The leciures are extremely simple and instructive , whicli make them so valuable to an establishment of this kind , where all science must be in a popular form . Several airs from ihe ' Miller and h ' _-a men , ' and other compositions of the lecturer , were executed by the vocalist , and accompanied on the pianoforte by Sir Henry . All ihe illustrations weie executed admirably , and called forth _repeated plaudits from the audience , who appeared to realisb this musical treat , provided by the Directors , most highly . The chenreal lecture by Mr . Pepper is , at present , on tbe different methods proposed to be used ip . conveying pyrotechnic and other signals to the expedition of Sir John Franklin in the Artie Regions ;
Tue Taxes On Knowledge. The Result Of Th...
TUE TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE . The result of the division was sadly against the friends of knowledge , and tbe fact of 190 members being found to vote for a continuance of these scandalous taxes prove pretty conclusively the state of our House of Commons . Among the friends of the " Taxes on Knowledge" and the lovers of dear newspapers appear the name 3 of Peel , father and son , the junior Peel proving himself , on every occasion , the exact counterpart and imitator ol his respected father . Really people hoped better things from " the Tamworth conjurer , who however , of late , seems determined to show that there is little difference between him and the premier . The Peelites are every day "becoming small by degrees and beautifully less , " and no wonder , for their leader refuses to initiate any
bold and reforming line of policy which might have tbe effect of enlisting the sympathies of the people on his side . Between Peel and Russell there is not much to choose , the chief difference being that the _foinier is lees obstinate and more acute thau his Whig rival ; but as for politics , Peel haa shown himself quite as conservative and quite a 3 opposed to the reasonable demands of the people . One can scarcely wonder that his followers diminish day by day , and thatthe Peelite party bids fair to become the roost insianifioant in the house . His attorney-general , Thesiger , has long become tired of waiting upon Sir Robert , and Smythe . the member for Canterbury and the writer of some clever , but unintelligible , articles in the Morning ChronieU , is often found at issue with
his old leader . But , however surprised one may be to find Peel supporting the government in their maintenance ofthe Taxes on Knowledge , nobody can he at ail astonished to find thenameof _Walter _. the proprietor of the Times , on tbe same side . Walter naturally trembles lor the monopoly of theTimes , which would , doubtless , be endangered by the removal of the newspaper stamp and advertisement duties . It is all very well for "the leading journal" to declare that it would probably be a gainer by the removal of these taxes . Everybody knows that the Times trembles at the idea ofthe competition to which it would be exposed from the more recently established , but more liberal , newspapers . Of _course , the benefit of the abolition of these taxes would be chiefly felt by these journals which are most in accordance with the
views and principles of the great mass of the people , and it is notorious tbat the great mass of the people heartily detest the Times . Walter , notwithstanding the professions made in the leading columns of his journal , takes good care to vote for the maintenance of tliese taxes . The penny stamp and the advertisement system answer very well at Printing-housesquare , and a change might very possibly alter things 'or the worse , while it couid hardly improve them . This is the mode in which the operation of these taxes is viewed by the proprietors of old-established papers generally . They are very comfortably off now , and do very well with things as they are , and , like the rich peer who could not bear the idea of death because he felt persuaded that he should never be so well off anywhere else as ih this world , they have an
instinctive dread of any change , which cannot improve ! but may deteriorate ,: their _posidoai" _-Ccrrf _^ _pondvnt of the _Birmingham Mercury .
National Reform League. Mr. O'Brien, The...
NATIONAL REFORM LEAGUE . Mr . O'Brien , the president of this association , held his usual weekly meeting , at the John-street Institution , on Friday evening last . ' In tho course of his address , he drew attention to the cheering fact that , according to the Irishman—a copy of which excellent paper he held in his hand—a large open-air demonstration had recently taken place at Kilkenny , at which the broadest democracy had been advocated , as well as the doctrine that the land was _tlm people ' _s-f- " from deepest earth to highest heaven ; and that the people should prepare themselves to hold it . Mr .-O'Brien , after saying that this was the most advanced move ever yet made in Ireland , went into a history of the various fruitless agitations which O'Connell had fostered ,
navticularly his plan of tenant-right ; and showed that oven the boasted Emancipation Bill had made thc _masirof the people less free than they were before . He then showed that , although the clorgy were always the inveterate enemies of everything having a democratic tendency , yet that Atheism could do nothing for tbe people . It was true Christianity that wo wanted—not such Christianity as the Pope ; for had that man believed in the real doctrines _^ of Christ , he would never have allowed French and Austrian butchers to murder his people jn order that he might preserve his domination at Rome . Whatever such a man professed , he was practically an Atheist . Mr . O'Brien . then referred
to tho approaching Conference of delegates to the Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association , and to the proposed deputation from tho National Charter Association and the Reform League to that body , to test the good faith of the Financial Reformers towards the working classes . If that body w ° _re ln earnest in desiring a union between the middlo and working classes , they would so arrango matters that , at the next general election , tho working classes should havo the power of electing and sending trom twenty-five to thirty men of their own choice , to represent their interests m Parliament . Mr . O'Brien then called upon tho meeting to approve of that plan by show of hands , which was responded to in the most unanimous
manner . Mr . Stallwood then addressed the meeting on the subject of the Conference , and showed , in reply to an objection which had been raised , that the property qualiacation . difficulty had been often very easily surmounted . At this meeting—previous to Mr . O'Brion ' s lecture—the second quarter ' s Report of the Council of tho National Reform Leaguo was read to tho mom * hers present . It began-by recording several circumstances of a congratulatory nature , in relation to its progress ; and stated , that the council had no apprehension as tO the ultimate popularity of its principles and objects , although its numerical strength had not yet reached a very large number . One cause of their deficiency of numbers _mitrht be
found in the co-existence of numerous other reform bodies—all professing different objects and views , and thereby tending to confuse the minds of the people—especially when they saw that the leaders of those different parties had arrived at no unity of opinion as to what positive reforms were required , that would be worth struggling for , and how they could be best accomplished . This want of union among the popular loaders of the day was much to be lamented , and it enabled the enemies of the people to deride their agitation , because they knew that while divisions existed in the popular camp , the unprivileged and unenfranchised classes could never tain either their political power or social influence _, 'he report recorded the late missionary tour of the president , and stated that branches of the League
had been formed at Glasgow , _Edinburgh and Sheffield . It also alluded to the series of resolutions which had been passed at a crowded meeting : of the National Regeneration Society , held recently in the Leicester-square Institution , onthe motion of the president . These resolutions had been , cordially inserted in their papers by the editors of the Aortliern Star and tho Tribune , but had remained unubticed by several of the cheap stamped papers to which they had been sent—showing the little sympathy they had with tho people ' s cause . A few evidences of the recognition of the principles ofthe League which had recently appeared in print were noticed . A recent correspondent in the Leader had forcibly argued against private property in land , and had put forward the sound axiom , that
" each man has a right to require that those conditions of existence , under which God : originally placed man on the earth , shall be preserved substantially in all the stages of human progress , " which may be considered a parallel lo one of the fundamental principles of the League . A letter of Mr . Hugh Doherty , in the New York Tribune , was also noticed , complaining that the French Socialist leaders did not grapple with the question of land monopoly ; and at the same time advocating the principle of legislative revolution , with regard to abstract laws of common r ' ght , and non-interfence , with regard to the habits and customs oftbe people .
The report concluded by deprecating the apathy , indifference , and _luke-warmness which tbe majority ofthe working classes—especially of London—exhibited towards all movements for political or social reform , proving the deep degradation which a long eourse of politieal and social slavery had engendered , and which bad induced tbem to believe that thoy had nothing whatever to do with such questions , and that it did not concern them who made the laws , or what were the principles upon which they were governed as men and citizens . But tbat lamentable fact would not be allowed to drive the members of the National Reform League to the conclusion which most of the followers of
the " dismal science of political economy" have arrived at , and which has led them to assert that extreme poverty must always accompany a hig h state of civilisation , and that it is a natural and unalterable ordination for the great body of the peoplo to be the passive instruments ofthe privileged and civilised classes . All members ofthe League would emphatically deny the truth ofa philosophy so unchristian and so un philanthropic , and would do all ttey could , however little , to disabuse their fellows _of-anv such belief . Anil , in so doing , they would
not only be performing their duty towards others , but to themselves ; because while the present laws upon land and money are maintained , and while the corrupting and dangerous power of huge armies of soldiery and police is heedlessly conferred upon governments , no real approach could be mado towards tho realisation of that glorious trinity of aspirations—Liberty , Equality , and _Fraternity—whicb is now floating before tho mental vision of a large portion of the family of man , giving them faith and courage to pursue their arduous struggles against error , despotism , and oppression .

BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH , New Road , London . ARSENIC IN CHOLERA !!! OH ! OH ! Oil ! Fellow-Countrymes . — What to do think of this ? Arsenic in cholera ! Oh 1 Oh ! Well , i % on will take the trouble of looking into the Medical Times , you will find printed in large letters , ' Case of Asiatic Cholera successfully treated with _Arsenic . ' A doctor positively advising arsenic in cholera—the case is also reported at length In the 89 th number ofthe Jlygelst , tobe had at the office , 308 , Strand , prico Id . or 2 d . by post . Well , can you be surprised , my friends , that we should have so many cases of felonious poisoning throughout thc country by arsenic ! What is the real difference between the prisoner and the doctor ? Why , that in one case the party , when he dies , is said to have been murdered hy arsenic , and in the other , to have died of some disease or other . Let things , we say , be called by their pr . per names . ' The doctors have made the public so familiar with poison ' s , that the lower classes think there is no harm taking a lessen from the ' Guinea trade gentlemen ; ' and , for our own part , we do not see any real difference between tho felonious prisoner-and the doctor—the only difference is , tliat ( he doctor , in some cases , gives the poison in such doses as not to hill , though in many he does kill , but then don't you see it is culled ' death or diseaseand not . ' murder '
' Now , fellow _countrymer , can you be surprised , that wha was called cholera last yi ar , should have been so fatal , whilst such poisons wore given for its eure 1 , Arsenic , opium , Aw . That tins doctor ' s advice was generally taken about arsenic in cholera we will not say , bnt it was published in the columns ofa widely circulated medical paper , and answered the purpose intended mightily—viz ., of _rno-OLAIMIMQ DEADLY POISONS AS CURES FOR CHOLERA—Oh , oil . What a pity that tlie aqua _tofuna is unknown to doctorsthey might just give a little of it to some unfortunate patient , anil then publish to the world with trumpettongue , ' that the acqua tofana was an excellent remedy for some disease or other , ' and the poor ignorantnnd confiding public would swallow all . We should , then see ' aqua ofana marked on fine bottles In the chemists' and drug gists' shops ot this lair island . ' Let the people arise from their lethargy ! The members of the British College of Health , thereforo call for the total prohibition of the following deadly poisons as medicines
1 . Arsenic in all its forms . 2 . Prusic Acid in all its forms . 3 . Opium in all its forms . 4 . Mercury iu all its forms . 5 . Ni « Vomica in all its forms . 1 'he different metals in all their chemical _combina-Jons _, which , heing wholly indigestible do not , and ever can , assimulate with flesh and blood ,

His family had received no tidings of him from that time , and every one believed him dead , when ; he suddenly presented himself to tbo astonishment of thoso of the inhabitants of Montastruc who remembered him .

I Anecdotes of Sih Isaac _NiraToN . - Some of these stories may be true . _andUome-may be only Joe Millers . Such as that wherein the * philosopher lost in . the stars while sitting by his Eng lish fireside and becoming extremely uncomfortable , rings the bell and : says hastily , " John , John , take away the fireplace I" And again , that history of the visit by Dr _Slukeley , the antiquarian , who being hungry , picked the bones ofa fowl and put them under a cover , and then waited till Newton came down stairs , and took off the cover , saying , " Oh dear , I thought I had not dined , but I see I have . '" Entering immediately into conversation with his friend—too intent on science to be subject to the cravings of nature , except as a form ! " I will not make oath that either of these anecdotes are true , though it is related-if I remember it aright—that good honest Stukeley declared that Ids adventure was " a fact ! " More
strange and notable than either of these stories , how . ever—if true—is that of Nowton and a certain fair lady . There was one , it seems , who had tender thoughts towards him ; but , alas for the lady , they were not reciprocated in the breast of the philosopher ! He never thought about the sex—he could not get time to think about thera- inveterate bachelor as he was to the day of his death . And sitting in his night-gown in his chamber—some say , often with but onn leg in his inexpressibles - even till afternoon—calculating , unable to resist the sudden mathematical thought that would dart through his mind as soon as he awoke—who would not pity the fair one that might have happened to become his wife ? Yet
this lady had some such thoughts , until one day being left alone with him while he was smoking his pipe—so runs the riecord—Newton became abstracted : forgot all about the lad y : shot up among the comets : the lady sighed , and—mechanically , let fall her lily hand on the philosophers _^ knee ! Behold , the philosopher took it up—and , still among the comets , m spirit—mechanically made use ofthe lady s _lutle finger as a tobacco stopper —Thomas Cooper . Ladirs don ' t know whether they like smoking or not ; with special favourites , " they like it ; " with general favourites , " they don't dislike it ; " and , with no favourites , " they detest it .

During thb recent fire at Limehouse church a burial took place in the grounds ; and after its destruction a marriage took place in the vestry . ' 1 he bride climbed over the ruins to confirm her hopes . A Man vbry much intoxicated was sent to prison . "Why don ' t you bail him out ? " inquired a bystander of his friend . " Bale him out ! " exclaimed the other , " you couldn ' t pump him out !" ThkSrptbnkialAct . —Dr . Johnson , one of the most furious of Tories , in his life of Addison ,
alluding to the royal prerogative of creating peers to make a majority , says , "it was an act of authority violent enough , yet certainly legal , and by no means to be compared with _toat contempt of national right with which , some time afterwards , by the instigation of Whiggism , the Commons , chosen by the ) _icople for three years , chose themselves for skven !" The American _ambass idor , on returning thanks for his health at the Mansion-house , on Easter Monday said , that " Wben the loyal cup went round , he drank for 22 , 008 , 000 of his countrymen . "
__ GftENADiisng . —Frederick William . King of Prussia , bad a pet regiment of giants , many of whom be actually bought up at fancy prices . Nothing gladdened his eyes like a man s ' _* x or eight feet in height . One day he met a peasant girl seven feet good in _height . Having called her to him , he gave her a letter to the colonel of hia Brobdignag grenadiers , containing posuive orders to have tbe bearer instantly married to the tallest man in the regiment . The girl did not know the king , who had appeared like an everyday private gentleman ; but she was somewhat suspicious . So she gave the letter to u little old woman , ugly enough to make a horse break his bridle . Judge of the astonishment of the colonel when he read the king ' s letter , and looked on the shrivelled and crooked form of the bearer ! Judge , too , of the feelings of the nolens volens bridegroom ! The girl found out the trick wbich had nearly been played upon her , and congratulated herself on her
escape . _O-ukiositv in Knowledge . ' —Nothing wraps a man in such a mist of errors , as his curiosity in searching into things which are beyond him . How happily do they live , who know but what is necessary 1 Our knowledge dors but show our ignorance . Onr most studious researches , are but a discovery ol what we cannot know . We see the effect , but we cannot guess at the cause . Learning is li _' _-e a river , whose head being far in the land , is at its first rise , small and easily viewed ; but still aa you proceed , it gapes with a wider bank ; not without ple ; i * ant and
delightful windings , while it is on both sides , set with trees , and the beauties of various flowers ; but still , the farther you follow it , the deeper and broader itis ; till at last it empties itself into ihe unfathomable ocean ; there yoa see more water , but no more shore , no end of that fluid expanse—Owen Felltham . A _professor , of Hebrew at Oxford , in the course of his lecture , made frequent mention of radical words . After it was onr two of the _bedmakers , who were among the auditors , were talking together , when one said to the other— "I say . Jack , how he touched up the Radicals—didn ' t he ?"
GrBOCfiRS and others who sell marmalade are in the habit of stating , as an additional recommendation of the commodity , that it is an excellent substitute for butter . An old woman purchased some , believing it to possess all the proprieties of butter . Some time afterwards she called on the dealer , and said she had been imposed on , " as it was nae substitute for butter at , a , " for she had tried to fry fish in ' t , and they were burned to a cinder .

An Old Legend with a New Tail . —In her Memoir of an Hungarian Lady , Theresa _Puh-ky tells the following story , tipped with a political sting : — "A miller at Branyisko ( a steep mountain path , when his _^ mill had stopped , being overwhelmed with sorrow at the prospect of starvation fnr his wife and children , plunged into the forest . There _, he met a fine gentleman , with a cloven foot , a red cloak , and a cock ' s feather in his hat , who promised . to get him water for the mill it he gave up an object he posse ? _sed without knowing it . The miller ( it is _n- > t doubted ) recognised the gentleman ; but , need proving more powerful than conscience , he _s cquiesccd in the proposition , and _hastened home . There he found the mid in full activity ; and his mother-in-law met him joyfully , with the news that his wife had happily borne him a son . The poor man was 9 truck dead on thespot with horror .
The fine gentleman soon came , and carried the baby away under his red cloak . For a long , long time , the ' little one ' s mother henrd nothing about bim , and mourned for him : till at last the tidings reached her , that her son , owing to his eminent education , had grown a doctor of laws , and a mighty _eratid gentleman , Minister of the interior at Vienna !" A " dandy black" stepped in f o a provision sb > p in Boston recentl y to buy some potatoes ; before purchasing he -.-ave the following truly eloquent description of its nature : — "Detater is inevitably bad or inevitably good . Deie is no me ¦ liocrity in the combination of detater . De exterior may , indeed , nppear remarkably exemplary and hutisome , whi ' e the interior is totally negative : but , sir , if you wends the article ' pon your own recomwendatioiis , k * owing you to be a man of probity in all your ., translations _, why , sir . without further circumlacutions , I tnke a bushel . "
A medical man was employed by a labourer to attend his wife during her illness . The doctor hinted ( according to his custom of such good folks ) his tear of not being ultimately remunmtid for his trouble . " I ' ve £ b , ' ' said the poor fellow , " and if you kill or cure , you shall have 'em . " The poor woman died under the doctor ' s hands ( it may be charitable to add that she would haTe done so without his help ) , and after a reasonable time had elapsed , Bolus called for his £ 5 . The man put the followinz questions to him : — " Did you kill ray wife ? " " No ! ' ? was the reply . " Did you cure her ? " "No ! " again " Then , " said the disconsolate , " you have no legal demand . " A writer in Notes and Queries gives the following " wicked but witty" epigram by La Monnoye ;—• " The world of fools has such a store , That he who would not see an ass
• Must bide at home and bolt his door , - And break _h's looking-glass . " A Yankee contemporary says , — When we see a neat , pretty , girl , with a free but innocent air—with cheeks like roses , and heavenly blue eyes , which seem to repose in serenity beneath their silken lashes—wc _alwajs wish the was near a mud-puddle , and we had tb lift her over . _Patiunce . —The most striking picture of patience we remember to have seen is that of the apple women at the corners of some of the large
thoroughfares . Their whole stock-in-trade rarely exceeds a dozen apples , a few sticks of candy , and perhaps a half-peck of chestnuts . There thev sit , generally smoking a pipe , while they watch their little store , waiting for a pern y customer . Probably the whole day ' s sale rarely exceed two * _-livings , and hardly half of this can be profit . Yet they Bovcr appear restless ; they are at their post , rain or shine , early and late , never showing tho least signs of impatience , but apparently enjoying a philosophical . rumination amid tbe rank smell of tobacco and tie fumes ofthe pipe !
