    DOCTORS DIFFER.
That doctors differ, has become a com
mon proverb: and truly, consdering the
peculiar disadvantages under which they
labour, their varienecs are less wonderons
than matters of course. If any man Yorks
in the dark, like a mole, it is the physician.
He has continually, as it were, to divine
the color of a pig in a poke—or a cat in
the bag. He is called in to a suspected
trunk without the policeman's privilege of
a search. He is expected to pass judge
ment on a physical tragedy going on in the
house of life, without the the critic's free
admission to the performance. He is tasked
to set to rights a disordered economy, with
out, as the Scotch say, going "ben," and
must gueps at riddles, hard as Sampson'sis
es to arialanimal with a honey-comb inside.
In faet', every malady is an enigma, and
when the doctor gives you over, he "gives
it up." A few weeks ago, one of these
puzzles, and a very intricate one, was pro
posed to the faculty at a metropolitan hos
pital. The disorder was dyspopsy : the
patient writhed and groaned in agony
but his lights, as usual, threw none on the
subject. In the meantime the ease made
a noise, and medical men of all degrees
and descriptions, magnetizers, homeopath
ists, hydropathists, mad doctors,
sane doc
tors, quack doctors, and even horse doc
tors, flocked to the ward, inspected the
symptoms, and then debated and disputed
on the nature of the disease. It was in
the brain, the heart, the liver, the nerves,
the muscles, the skin, the blood, the kid
neys, the "globes of the lungs," the "mo
mentum," the "pancras," and the "capil
laire vessels." Then for its nature: it was
chronic, and acute, and intermittent, and
non-contageous, and "ketehing," and "in
flamable," and "hereditary," and , electic,'
and Lord knows what besides. Ilcwever,
the discussion ended in a complete wrangle,
and every doctor being mounted on his own
theory, never was there such a scene since
the grand combat of hobby horses at the
end of Mr. Bayer's rehearsal !
SAIRA'I'OGA.
Listen to the way in which Mr. Sulivan,
a recent English traeller in the U. States,
sets down the fashions of Young America
at its great watering-place :—“Saratoga,
tho Cheltenham of America—though from
the r tulgarisms one sees perpetrated there,
it reminded one more of Ramsgate in Au
gust—is the paradise of snobs, and is, with
out exception, the most odious place I over
spent twenty-four hours iu. It is famous
for some mineral springs, and crowded du
ring three or for months of the year with
New York and Boston shop-keepers and
snobs, dressed within an inch of their lives;
women in excess of Parisian fashion,. with
short sleeves; men in extra Newmarket and
bad Parisian style, emulated to the number
of three or four thousand in five or six
large hotels, breakfasting together, dining
together at we o'clock, smirking and flirt
ing the whole time. The men smoke all
day, swinging in rocking-chairs, and squir
ting tobaco juice between their feet, or
over their neighbor's shoulders. The la
dies promenade before them, talking loud
and making eyes—altogether it is the most
forced and least natural state of society I
ever saw. It is the quintesscence of snob
ism,. beating ltamsgate or Margate in Au
gust. In the latter places the cockney
have no pretence whatever, but cat shrimps
out of srawberry bottles, and bury them
selves in the sand, because they really en
joy it, and don't care a sixpence what oth
er people think of them; whereas, at Sara
toga, if a lady were to go to dinner in a
morning dress, or a gentleman walk about
in a shooting-jacket, public opinion would
be so strong against them, that there
friends, if they had any, would have to
out them."
BREAD.
Both in Egypt and Greece, the method',
of grinding corn in handmills was known
at a remote epoch; but the Romans, for a
very long period, had no other method of
making flour than by breaking roasted corn
in a mortar. It was not until after the
Macedonian war that public bakers were
established in Rome. The art of baking
bread was afterwards spread, by the con
quest of the Romans, throughout trio south
of Europe. The use of yeast in the rais
ing of bread seems to have been first prac
tised by the Germans and Gauls. Tho
Romans as well as the Greeks leavened their
bread by mixing the fresh paste or dough
with some that had become stale. The
Roman method seems to have superseded
yeast in France and Spain. For rais
ing bread by yeast was not practised in
modern times, in , France, until nearly the
close of the seventeenth century. Al
though the bread made by yeast was so
decidedly superior to that made by other
methods, upon its first introduction into
France, the medical faculty declared it
most injurious to the health; and the use
of yeast was prohibited under the severest
penalties!
"BRING IN TIIN Li,Es.„The apple may
be called the 'staple fruit' of Now England.
It ranks among fruits as the potato among
vegetables. A writer in the last number
of the Knickerbocker says; "The apple is
the companion of the winter evenings, as
sociated with a eheerful room, a bright fire,
a pleasing tale, Scott's novels or the Ara
bian Nights. Perhaps it is nearly bedtime.
Your eyes grow dim. You aro fatigued
with study, with chess, with checkers, with
books; you sigh, you yawn, you stretch
your arms above your head. All of a sud
den a thought strikes you. Bring in the
appleo It is like magic. The foot lights
go up and the scene brightens."

The liberal patronage which this School has
received in dm past, encourages the proprietor
and friends of female education, to expect by
proper exertion to make it both a premanent and
important Institution; soil no pains will by spar
ed to sustain its growing reputation.
Among other considerations which inspirehope
as to its future sums, the location is not unim

veloped a more philosophical, if not a truer reas
on for the existence of Birmingham than many
which have been assigned—that it is the situation
for a Female Seminary, surrounded as it is by
most romantic scenery—retired—healthful—easy
of access and in itself a place where one might al
most grow wise in the study of Nature alone un
mocked by the works of Art.
The school year is divided into two Sessions of
twenty-two weeks each; the summer term com
mencing the last Tuesday in April, the winter
term the last Tuesday in October.

DIGESTIVE FLUID,
on, GitsTßic JUICE.
Prepared from Rennet, or the fourth
stomach of the ox, after directions of Baron
Liebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by J. 8
Houghton, M. 1). Philadelphia, Pa.
This is a truly wondcrild remedy for Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Consti
pation, and Debility, Curing after Nature's own
method, by Nature's own Agent, the Gastric
Juice.
(0 — Half a teaspoonful of PEPSIN, infused in wa
ter, will digest or dissolve, Kee Pounds of Roast
Doef in about two hours, out of the stomach.
PEPSIN is the chief element, or Great Digest
ing Principle of the Gastric Juice—the Solvent o/
the Food, the Parirning, Preserving, and Stintu
ling Agent of the Stomach and Intestines. It
is extracted from the Digestive Stomach of the
Ox, thus forming an Artificial Digestive Fluid,
precisely like the natural Gastric Juice in its
Chemical powers, and furnishing a Complete and
Perfect Substitute for it. By the aid of this
preparation, the pains and evils of Indigestion and
)vspcpsia ore removed, just as they would be by
a healthy Stomach. It is doing wonders for Dys
peptics, Wiring cases of Debility, Emaciation, New
eons Decline, and Dyspeptic Consumption, sup
posed to he on the verge of thegrave. The
Scientific Evidence upon which it is based, is in
the highest degree Curious and Remarkable.
SCI ENTFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LEIBIG in hie celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says "An Artificial Diges
tive Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, nosy
be readily prepared mixt; the meat :mil eggs, will
be softened, changed, and di este 1, ju , t is the
same manner as they would he in the human
stomach."
Dr. COMBE, in his valuable writings on the
"Physiology of Digestion," observes that n
diminution of the due quantity of the Gastric
Juice is a prominent and all-prevailing cause of
Dyspepsia;'' and he states that " a ditingnished
proksscr of Medicine in London, who was severe
ly afflicted with this complaint, finding everything
eke to fail, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, ob

erty of dissolving various articles of thud, and of
of a kind of artificial digestion of them in
no wise different from the natural digestive pro
cess."
