ECLECTICISM.
The term Eclectic, 'bj winch a large and
growing class of physicians are designated,
is derived from a Greek word which signi
fi.es to choote ; and they profess to choose
that which is good from all sources, rejec
ting the evil.
The origin of modern Eclecticism dates
back only some forty years, and yet there
are some six thousand educated physicians
of this Bchool in active practice. The Col
leges are in a flourishing condition, one,
the Eclcctlo Medical Institute of Cincinati,
having had an average of 193 students an
nually, for the last twenty years. In addi
tion they have large. aud well written text
books on every department of niediciue, and
a medical Journal having the largest circu
lation of any in America.
The causes leading to this reform in
medicine, were of a very grave character.
For many years, physicians had treated
disease, as if it was something tangible,
and only to be removed by the harshest
means. The principal medicines were cut
omel, the lancet, tartar emetic, and agents
of like character, which were employed up
on all occasions, even tn the most trival ca
ses, rendering disease mueh more fatal than
it would otherwise have been. Not only
was It the cause of death in many cases,
but serious disease resulting from the use
of these poisons uot uufroquently resulted,
rendering the sufferer au invalid for life.
It certain'y was no wonder, th t a reform
of a practioo like this should be demanded,
und when commenced, that it should be
hailed with joy by the people. Indeed so
great was the desire for something better,
that the system of Samuel Thompson, crude
though it was, was taken hold of in all sec
tions of the country.
Eclectics based their opposition to old
school medicine upon two grounds. 1st.
To the theory of ejccttice action in disease,
and consequent employment of deprewing
medicines, reducing the vitality of the pa
tient to the lowest ebb. Opposed to tLis.
Eclectics took the ground, that all diseased
actiou of whatever kind, whether fever or
chronic disease, is evidence of eufeebled
vitality, cither of the entire system or of
a part. And iieccssarly, all correct treat.
merit is directed, first, to check tht impair,
incut of vitality, and secoud, to restore the
system to its normal condition. There In
no room lor deliberating or exhausting rem
edies, but only for euch as tt nd to change
abnormal into normal actiou, and give tone,
innervation, and aid to tho uutrative pro
cesses. The second ground of oprai-ition was,that
the remedies were not only harth and de.
bilitatitig, but would produce diseases,
sometimes far worse than those they were
given to cure.
Calomel was the So niton of medical
agents, aud there was cot a disease, mild or
severe, in wliioh it was not recommended
and used. Those acquainted with the old
practice know, that when the doctor was
called the first thing given in almost every
case was calomel and jalap t or blue-pill
fallowed by castor oil. Not only was it the
first thing, but it was many tituea the last
aud with many, nearly or quite all. In the
Southern and Westorn States it was used
in moderation, t. . from ten grains to a
tea or tablespoonful at a dose. Many fol
lowed the rulo of Professor. Cook, of Louis
ville, that if an apparent effect was Dot pro
duced by the remedy the first day, double
the dose the next, quadruple it the third
and so on, until, aa we have authentio ac
counts, one-fourth, one-hulf, or in one case
of billious fever, over one pound had been
iotrodced. To thinking minds this indis
criminate use ot one agent, should have
been evidence of the utter futility of em
ploying a physician ; and doubtless it wouldj
if people bad been permitted to think. It
we add to this, the long catalogue of ail.
menU directly produced by mercury.
Mercurial rheumatism, mercurial disease of
the bones, mercurial ubers, etc., it will
readily be seen that this fearful weapon
should be discarded.
Forty years ago yes, tven twenty years
ago blood-letting waa the fashion, and
both physicians and people supposed that
acute diseases eould not be treated without
it. Bleeding was so oonimon that it was
customary for some to be bled every spring,
sometime twi je year, as a prevenliv
measure to ward off disease.
The evil effects of blood. letting necessa
rily vary with the nature of the diseae in
which it is employed. In fever and ioflam
nations it was employed to subdue excite
ment and lessen inflammatory action,' and
yet in many catca it is known that it pro
duded but a temporary effect' reaction
came on and the disease for whioh it was
employed was aggravated. The -consequence
of this reaction was, that another
depletion wasjtgain prescribed for its ro
rooval; blood is taken to full syncope
again relief is felt again reaction and the
local symptoms return, the practitioner
continues to bleed, and is astonished at the
obstinacy, course and termination of the
disease, which under such circumstances
generally terminated in dropsical effusion,
or in convulsions, or in delirium running
into coma, or in a partial subsidence of the
original malady, and protracted convales
ce nee.
Tartar emetic and arscnio were not so
frequently employed, yet they were ac
countable for a large amount of suffering
and very tr.any deaths. They were also
very effectual agents for the production of
chronic diseases of the stomach and bowels,
which would annoy the patient a life time.
If to these you add the arrry of cathartics,
blisters, etc, in common use, you will won
der, not that a reform in medicine was
commenced, but that it was postponed so
long.
We believe that we have given a perfect,
ly truthful aud fair statement of the causes
giving rise to Eclecticism in medicine, and
we may with advantage enquire of what
benefit it has buen to the people at large.
At the present time, calomel and other
mercurial preparations are given by stealth,
and there are very few that dare own to
their administration. The lancet and blond-
letting is ultuost banished from practice,
and he who would attempt to revive it
would pood find himself without patrons'.
Now the sick hove water and food, and are
frequently bathed, when in olden titua
they were kept in the conditio n of the rich
man described in the Biblo They (-imply
suffer the minor inconveniences of sickness,
without the torture of o'den time medica
tion. '
A QUEER WEDD1XG.
Rev. D., a Methodist minister stationed
at Meaoville sonic years ajjo, one evening
received a note stating that a young couple
living in thc.suburbs of the city desired to
be united in the bonds of matrimony, and
requested his services at nine o'olock the
next morning. At the proper timo he
went to the house designated aud entered.
He inquired of a young lady who was busy
washing dishes, if there was a couple there
wishing to be married. " I am the lady,"
soid she blushing, " John will be iu iu a
uiomeut." The minister was surprised to
see no preparations, and stepped to the
door to view the surroundings. Two men
were hard at work grinding scythes in the
yard, and another, who proved to be John,
was tending a cow and calf in the barnyard.
The young lady camo to the door pretty
boou, aud shouted, "John, Joha, hurry up,
tho preacher's hero !" John leaped the
fence aud rushed to tho house, the girl
wiped her hands on her apron, and after
joining hands, said they were ready. The
minister proceeded, aud had just got thro'
questioning the young man when the old
lady rushed into the room, shouting, 'John,
John, you didn't turn the cow away from
the calf ! ' John let go bin sweetheart's
hand instantly, and rushed to tho barnyard,
put the old cow through the bars, and then
returned to the house, again took up his
position, when the balance of the ceremony
was goue through with. Tho miuister
went on his way. Joha went to the hay
field, and the lady resumed her dish wash
ing. The New York Democrat tells us how
one of .he railroad kings of that State trav
els: Vice-President Torrence, of the
New York Central railroad, has a horse
worth keeping an iron horse yelcpt a lo
cooiottve. It is a fine one, and is elegantly
fitted up, inside ot the engineer's house.
The seats are on steel springs, and are
richly upholstered, while every appliance
is visible to keep out sparks and dust.
This engine is in charge of a first. class
engineer, whose only business is to run his
machine wherever and whenever the Vice
President wishes him to. Should Mr. Tor
rence cousider that bis presence is important
iu Buff alo, the engineer is ordered to fire
up, the telegraph conveys the intelligence
that Torrence is on the road, and away goes
the horse through towns and villages like
a streak of lightning, resting not till the
destination is reached. Business finished,
the return is made, the horse is put in the
stable, and not taken out again till the Vice
President issues the order for another ride.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
A murder, equalling in atrocity any
known in tho annals of crime, was commit
ted near Pleasant Grove, Huntingdon
county, between six and seven o'clock, on
Wednesday evening, November Ilth. The
victims were an old roan named Peightal,
and an adopted child named Scott Garner
a boy of ten or twelve yeavs of nge.
They were sitting at supper when attacked
Mr. Peightal and young Garner were shot
through the head and instantly killed
Mrs Peightal was also shot, but not fatally,
and was dispatched with an axe or hatchet.
The perpetrators of the crime, after
plundering the house and stealing the mo
ney belonging to the family, consisting of
coin and greeubaoks amounting, it is said,
to about two thousand dollars, the fiends
covered the bodies with bedding and
clothes, which they set on fire and then
fled. The fire was at once discovered by
some neighbors, who hastened hither and,
to their dismay, not only found the liouso
on fire, but the whole family murdered.
Suspicion at once rested on two men who
had been seen in the neighborhood during
the day.
A messenger was dispatched to Hunting,
don, who, upon inquiry, discovered that
two persons answering the description had
taken the Cincinnati express west. A tel.
egraphio dispatch was sent to Altoona, giv.
iflg a description of the supposed murder
ers, and upon the arrival of the train there
the men were arrested, and lodged in the
lock-up.
On Thursday morning, thpy were token
bank to Huntingdon, and recognized at
once as the men who had been lurking
around Peightel't previous to the murder.
It was only through the wise counsel of
prudent men that they were not lynched by
the indignaut populace. After being
taken to the jail they confessed having: com
mitted the murder, but the evidence
against them is deemed sufficient to con
vict them, aside from their conlession.
Several hundred dollais in gold and green,
backs was found upon them the bulancs
they said they had tied up in a handker
chief and hid along the railroad, before
taking the train.
Both the men arc Germans The one
gives his name as Alfred Bodeuburg, who
was born in Hanover, on the Ilbiuo, Octo
ber 183G, and is therefore thirty-six years
of age. The other is named Gotlieb Bocer,
alias 'Charlie Moore,' alias 'Dutch Charlie,'
was born iu Wirtemburg, Germany, and is
ubout forty years of age. The latter, it is
said, was convicted of larceny in Hunting
don three years ago, and served his term
in the pcuitentiary.
Love of gain seems to have instigated
them to commit the horrible crimo tor
which they have been arrested. They -w ill
be tried at the next term of the Hunting
don courts.
A Serious Affray in Tennessee. A
terrible affair occurred near Tiptonville,
Tenn., on Sunday. A party of masked men
went to the house of William Jones, a plan
ter, for tho purpose of disarming tho negroes
working for him. Jones having intimation
of their coming determined to resist, as the
negroes had been peaceable and well dispo.
sed.aud made preparations for their defense,
when the raiders came they were met with
a destructive fire which caused them
retreat, leaving one of their number dead
aud two mortally wounded. The dead ono
proved to bo Robert Dickinson, living across
the Kentucky line. His cousin, Robert
Bealohamp, died the next morning. He
said he was misled into the scrape. The
excitement the next day was intense. Of
ficers camo to arrost the negroes, but owing
to the excitement Mr. Jones was taken to
the river iu charge of the Deputy Sheriff,
placed on the steamer Louisville, aud
brought here, while the Sheriff, with the
the negroes, started tor Troy, but on the
way were attacked by a posse, who took five
of the negroes into the woods and shut
them down. The Sheriff, by hard legging,
succeeded iu saving the lifo of the other
one, who was taken to Troy and put iu jail
The excitement in Tiptonville is iutecso
The parties on both sides are well known,
and it is supposed that other blood will be
shed, even if the matter is settled.
