For the Preehyterian Banner and Advocate
Things, Seen in a Recent Ramble.
Dun READER :—ln the course of human
events, it seemed recently to become neces-
nary that I should visit certain churches,
friends, and places, by way of relaxation, to
recuperate, if possible, physical energies,
which had become much enfeebled.by a too
vigorous effort to discharge the onerous and
unending duties belonging to a large pastor
al charge. Village and country pastors, be
it known to' you, need rest just as certainly
and' an frequently, as do those of our cities;
and you know that the latter generally make
the tour of Eurepe every semi-decade to re
gain health, and acquire information; and
when they return they entertain us with
graphic accounts of what they saw and did,
heard and said.
Mine, was a land-trip,
,at my own expense,
and not a ica-voyage, paid for out of the
pockets'of kind' parishibners. It was short,
and soon over ; but was, notwithstanding,
quite ; interesting to 'me, and try and
make it so to you. •
Soon after leaving home, I found myself in
the,eity of Beßair, a plitee ofsome note, at
the •Eastern :terminus' of • the Columbus and
Railroad, five miles below Wheeling,
on' the Ohio line. The town is growing
rapidly, and the population contains a respec
table per centage of ' Presbyterians, who are
soon, it is said, to be organized into a church;
and I am told an edifice is about being
erected for the accommodation of the said-
ety; and from the specie/ens of Presbyte
rianism that • I saw in the place and its
vicinity, I have not the least doubt but that
the enterprise, with God's blessing, will be
carried through speedily, and nobly.
From this place I went some miles into
the country, where I remained a few.weeks in
the family of a kind friend ; and here I had
ample opportunity to see the almost incredi
ble productiveness of the soil of this region.
Although the hills are •so high that they
might, with propriety,, be named the Ohio
MOWlttaill,S, yet their sides are as fertile as
their summits are ;exalted. Combining, as
they do, the useful with the grand, in forms
the most imposing possible ' they are alike
attractive to the farmer and the sightseer.
Never did I see land covered with a thicker
coat of greener grass and grain, than are the
al*S of iftese towering hills. That any one
should wish to exchange a' farm here fora
low,' flat, swampy, frosty, sickly section of
any Western prairie -land, can be accounted
for'only, it seania to me, on the' prineifold ofa
dementation superinduced by &fancy the
most;morbidlmaginable. To the credit' of
the people, be it said that few have done it,
and, according to reports, this few now see
and repent their folly.
Thereis a fine church. of our order, a short
distance from where I was stopping. On
the Sabbath, of course, E attended it. The
church is now without a regular pastor. For
merly they diVided the ministerial services
of the Rev. B. Mitchell with the church of
Mount Pleasant. Both the churches at
length growing, strong, each laid in a call for
the whole titne of this good brother. Mount
Pleasant having the oldest claim on 'the pas
tor, was the successful competitor; so the
' church to which I alltide was left vacant
and now offers many inducements to any
minister who may wish to become the pas
tor of a large, wealthy, and highly respecta
ble congregation.
It ;was,rather a singular circumstance that
the day lattended this church, three Presby
terian ministers , happened to be present, and
all,too, originally frOm the. Associate Reformed
41;11eurelc—two of them quite recently. These
,preached, 'and two better sermons it has sel
dnut been my privilege to hear.
Bitl,musttake exceptiOn to some things
rsaw'abouttliolinbita of the people that 'I
did-not like ; and Ido hope, for the sake of
gond order, (which is one of the elements of
true religion) that they will atone abandon
them. I allude to the un-Presbyterian mode
of, eitting-r-the,men and women being separ
ated. But what is singular, the men in the
church occupy the two ranges of slips at the
sides next the windows, leaving the two
middle ranges for the ladies; and thus the
former sat as cool' as cueumbers; whilst the
latter seemed almost overcome with heat, as
Was evident from the motion and rattle of a
hundred fans. The family-pew mode of
sitting not being' adopted, the congregation
had, byno means, a prepossessing appearance
to a Presbyterian eye. A batch of -young
boys sat in one place, and a squad of girls
in' another. Here was a section of the
ehureh filled with young men, and over there,
about an equal number - young ladies.
Even the lathers and the mothers sat almost
as separate as Quakers ! During interval
these different companies go out, and come
.$
in together, which, to me, looked very badly.
And here, as elsewhere, I notice that most
of the young men, and' some of the older
ones, too, did not pretend to come in, after
interval, till admonished that service had ac
' Melly commenced, by the voice of the min
ister, as he 'read the hymn. This shameful
breach of decorum is too common in all our
country churches, and should be at once
abandoned by all lovers of good ,order.
There is scarcely any thing more uncouth
and impolite, in the eyes of a man of re
, fined taste, than to see, on 'Sabbath morn=
hag; from twenty to thirty men, and boys

as if they imagined the floor to be giving

There is no order of sitting so desirable
as the family-pew system. Much as may be
said against it, more can be said in its favor
than in that of any other. Even the Meth
odists in our cities are abandoning their old
mode of sitting, and adopting the household
mode ; and they confess it to be the best.
It shows that men, know how to behave
themselves, and it also indicates the strength
and purity of the family ties.
After remaining for sometime in this re
gion, I went aboard a train of cars, bound
for Pittsburgh, on the " Circumbendibus"
branch of the Pittsburgh and Cleveland
Road, and soon found myself in ,Bridgeport,
where I. was sorry to see the new brick edi
fice of the Presbyterian church a heap of
ruins. It, had been prostrated by a heavy
gale of wind, the previous evening. This
was the more to be regretted, as I was told
that this is the third time it has fealen.from
a similar cause I .However, vigorous meas
ures are about being taken, by an active and
efficient Building Committee, headed by
their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Boyd, to repair
it, which will doubtless secure the hearty
cooperation of all concerned.
We' were whirled along , the beautiful
shore of the Ohio •River, toward'Pittsburgh,
at a wonderfUl rate of speed. For a new
road, this is the best I ever traveled on;
and its cars are the most elegantly 'finished
and furnished of any I ever saw; and I
have seen.those of.iourteen different States
of our Uniou,,besides some in .Canada.
~We made, two changes,. with, a ,delay. of
about as, many minutes n tand got, ,to . Pitts
burgh in time‘for a late supper, which was
served up for us at the St. Charles, in ,a,
style that could not fail to please the, most
fastidious epicure, after
. which we retired
to rest,,to dream of coming rambles in the
City of Smoke and, vicinity, which we shall
chronicle in order, in another letter or
two the Editor willing. ZED.

for the ladies sitting apart from the gentlemen ;

To Get Rid of House Ants.
The best way to get rid of house ants is
to set a quantity of cracked walnuts, or shell
barks, on plates and put them in a' closet
where the ants congregate. They are very
fond of these and will-collect in them--in
myriads. When they have collected in
them, make a general auto-de fed by turn
ing nuts and ants together into the fire, and
then replace the plates with fresh nuts.
After they have become so thinned off as to
cease collecting on plates, powder some gum
camphor, and put itin the holes and crevices;
whereupon the remainder will ; speedily va
mose. It may help the proem of getting
them to assemble on the shellbarks, to
remove all edibles out of their way for a
time.
Dlrections about Milking.
Give the• cow an easy and pleasant place
to stand. Be in good temper yourself. Ap
proach her gently. Always have a good
stool, and sit on it, if the cow will let you,
while Milking. Commence very 'gently, es
pecially if the cow is very sensitive, or her
udder or teats are sore. When you: have
fairly begun, milk with a regular, easy MO
don, and as fast as you can without great
fatigue, till you are done. Milk very Olean:
if yea,milk in a large dairy,,always milk
the same &owl, and let all'lhe •ilkera* have
their own cow to milk. A cow is better
contented, and will give more , milk, if she
is always milked by the same ;:person. Wo
men are the best linkers; but never set - a
woman to Tank a cow that milks hard. It
is too severe.
Ilow TO COOK RHUBARB AND ASPARA-
Grs.—lt is a common error in cocking
rhubarb to peel it. This should never be
done, as the skin contains the aroma of the
plant and is not at all fibrous, but cooks as
readily and becomes pulpy. We have de
rived this information: from a French cook
of note, experience and skill. The same
cook tells us that' asparagus should .be cut
into pieces about thtee-quarters of an inch
long, before cooking. It should be boiled
with a nice piece of salt
_pork, and served up
in tIM same manner as peas.
FOR POLISHING FORNITURF.—Take two
ounces of beeswax, and half an ounce of
alkitiet root; melt them together in an
earthen pot; when melted, take it- off the
fire, and add two ounces spirits of wine, and
half, a pint of spirits of turpentine. Rub it
on with a woollen cloth, and polish it with a
-clean silk cloth. - -

Keep the Sabbath young Man!
And it will - keep you,
1. From all dangerous errors. These
abound in the world, and dr'essed up in every
kind of fascinating garb, and meet young
men everywhere. But the spiritual keeper,
of the Sabbath has a moral -coat of mail
about him. These mimiles cannot penetrate
it.
2. From bad trains of thought. Many
give the reins to their thoughts, and suffer
their imaginations to drive the ear. where
they Please, if it only be the ear of "pleiSnre.
But the drive is through regions of tempta
tion, and toward the frightful precipice of
ruin. But faithful Sabbath-keeping fur
nishes better, even the best trains of thought :
it creates a distaste for any other, and is
therefore a powerful safeguard from evil
thoughts.
3. It will keep you from- bad books. You
will have an appetite that will loathe them
and a discernment that will, show you that:
though they may have the fair colors, they
have the venom, too, of the serpent. We
have ,never seen. a Sabbath-keeping young
man fond of bad books.
41-. It will, of course, keep you from bad
',company. Your love for the Sabbath will
cry yen, as a matter of *course, into the
society of thosi who have, respect= unto all
the commandments of tho,-Lord. Yon will
dose aIP sympathy ;withevil doers ; ,„ Witlt
the Sabbath in your heart, yjir 'cannot
NAI II DE 111 lIV II ti
walk in the course of the ungodly, nor
stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the
seat of the scornful."
5. It will keep you from bad habits. Bad
trains of thought, and bad books, and bad
company, are very certain to produce bad
habits. But the sanctified Sabbath, like
the angel that guarded Aen, wields a flam
ing two-edged sword against them all: Every
hallowed Sabbath will help to cot.firm and
fix the power of all good trains of thought,
all good books, and all virtuous habits.
6. It will keep you in the path that all
the true and faithful servants of God have
trodden, which, being that of the just,
shineth,more and more to the perfect day.
Young man ! Are not these six reasons
enough to bind your heart to the Sabbath
You keep, and are kept. You honor it; it
honors you. •

Useful Knowledge • Respecting the Vege
table Food of Man,
During the early part of this Winter, the
Rev. H. Wood, of Lowell,. addressed _the
distincuished Dr. S.,L. Dana, requesting
information relating' to the cheapest and best
kinds of food. 'The answer of Dr; Dana
has been published in, the Medical World,;.
it is scientific—as might be expected, coming
from such high chemical - and physiological
authority—and it also; Contains much useful
information little known to the community
in general. We will endeavor to present
the Substance of its most important points,
because we believe such knowledge should
be circulated ' , through every corner -of the
world, concerning, as it does, the- welfare of
every human being.
It has been laid down as a law: of physio
logical chemistry, that all food, serves two
distinct purposes; one part,, for building
the body, forms the blood out of which
comes all the animal tissues; the other part
forms' fat, and, furnishes the fuel by which
the animal heat is kept up througb the pro
cess of breathing. Food contains flesh,
blood, and tissue formers, in . proportion to
their amount of nitrogen. When chemistry,
therefore, determines the amouneof nitrogen
in any kind, of food, it expresses the, rela
tive value of that 'food:for these purposes.
The starch, gum,' fat, sugar,
.and w'ater, and
occasionally a portion of -woody fiber or
grain, rarely t) the wants * Of,
These stibstinges are the fuel
formers, out:of which•faV may be formed,
Which is as essential- 'as 'blood. ;Ten , parts
of Tat are egad to twerity:four 'parts of
starch, grape, and milk sugar in heating
power. . •
Life cannot long be maintained by any
food that fulfills 'only one part.of the process
of nutrition. A man fed:only on:that food
which forma blood and tissue, soon dies of
starvation, and so does the 'man that is only
fed on fuel-forming food; and if a man is
deprived' of 'certain salts, such , as common
salt, compounds of sulphur, phosph&us, pot
ash, soda, lime, :magnesia, and iron,he can
' not long survive. And even, if fed on all
these three classes of substances,' he will die
of starvation, unless allowed a certain pro
portien of ready formed" fat, - in addition to
the fat that may be formed out of the other
elements of his food.
Nature has taught us the type of our food,
viz., milk. It contains the essentials of four
great groups.of substances on which nutrition
in its widest sense depends. The • elements
of milk are, lst., Curd, whiehls a blood
former; it contains all the nitrogen and all
the sulphur. 2d., Butter, which ;is fat.
3d. Sugcir, which is a:filel formeror heater.
4th., Salts—soluble and insoluble the
earth of bones, potash, soda, and phosphoric
acid.
Such are the substances which nature has
prepared for our first food—a mixture of four
groups of substances, to suit human wants,
according to its age. We should imitate this
best natural mixture of those `substances de
signed as the food'of man. -
In vegetable and animal, food, there are
substanees representing those contained" hi
milk. Dr. Danamerely alludes tothose of
fieh and flesh, Aid — Adis,(*lfich;iaawn, e- 1
thing new to moat persons) that the flesh of
BANNER AND ADVOCATE
fish contains the same amount of nutrient
matter, as e flesh„ of oxen. Albumen
forms gristl sinews, mernbrane, muscle,
nails, and is ound in the nerve tubes. Fat
is a lubricani, assists to form cells, and it
forms part End parcel of all the chemical
changes which the body undergoes, and is re
quired for u t pre purposes than merely heat
ing the body Sugar never forms part of
the animal tiitues, but it performs an import
ant office in e changes of all these tissues.
It forms lactic acid, and contributes largely
to the . formation of fat. '
The wastelof anything essential to life,
and all its healthy functions, must be sup
plied by a INe substance. Food, therefore,
is nutritious just in proportion as it contains
the elementsi, prepsrly mixed, which go to
sustain the ,body and supply its waste..
What is the best and cheapest food for this
purpose ? This is a great question, and
one respecting which much reliable inform
ation has been wanting.
Wheat, Indian,corn, rye, rice, and buck
wheat are the principal grains used in our
country for food. Wheat.holds the highest
place in the market, and its finest-flour—that
which is deprived of most bran—is the dear
eat, and' the most adthired. This'-cherished
flour—the 'actually the, least
valuable for food. The fat , and salts of
wheat ,reside, chiefly in the bran, and the
flour .depaad of these, does not contain
well mixed nutrient matter.'
Dr. Dana: places Indian corn and rye
above , wheat for. our food, and he snrprises
us by giving oatmeal the highest place of
all—.-it"contains the,,greatest ailiount:.'of al
linien,its - starch ,is equal -to that of fine",
Wheat flour, and its fat exceeds, hat of any.
other
_cereal grain. Buckwheat and rice are
poor articles,:of food;. one- pound' 'of =-beans
is equal to three and a half of rice 'or po
tatoes:. Cabbage contains a great amount
of albumen, but fat, sugar,. or salts, but
it as excellent- for , mixing with other- sub
stances, such as potatoes, which contain
these.. ; . Oatmeal, cake, .bean and pea soup,
baked beans, Indian meal pudding
sweetened with molasses, are the vegetable
food, which he esteems to be the' best and
cheapest 'for= common : and general use.—

Few persons are aware of the amount, of
labor and risk. involved in the production
of such castings as ,are.now :required for our
mammoth stiamship`ebgines. The furnaces
employed in foipidries will each hold but
two or threetonsef melted metal at the utmost,
and• the metal, in all eases,, must be poured
into a mould, in a large continuous stream.
For large casting, thick reservoirs of
fire
brick are • provided, and filled by slow degrees
froM the,fainaces, the sides being ,of
,sufft
cent thickness to retain the, heat. The pre
paration of the mould requires many weeks
labor. Some time since, an invention was
chronicled, which consisted of an improved
method of preparing wrought iron, so as to
render it capable of being poured or cast
into moulds, for , the production of Malleable
castings, or articles possessing all the
strength , andtqualitiea“lue,to wrought iron.
The invention, thoughldesigned chiefly for
the manufacture Pf railway wheels, is equal
ly applicable-to the-pro i duction' .Of other ar
ticles. Scrap or wrought iron is employed,
or bars or plates cut into small pieces, and
it must;beF meltecljuto •crucibles, such as are
used for melting blister, steel. To a charge
suitable in amount ; to, the crucible, one half
of one per cent. of charcoal, by weight, one
per cent. of , manganese, and one of sal am
monia are added. The whole is covered
from ,the atmosphere and Melted,in a tem
perature Of ahout . fifteen hundred degrees
Fahrenheit, which temperature is maintained
for three hours. The metal is then poured
into moulds. Other carbonaceous matter
may be substituted for charcoal. The iron
thus cast will; it is stated, become malleable,
so as to be Capable of being treated under
the harmer 'in a forge, and - framed into
other shapes; and thus also part of the iron
may be shaped in moulds, and part. com
pleted by forging.
THE IBLEGUNPIL-It is an interesting
fact in science, 'that the 'Wheatstone tele
graph, used in',England, was foreshadowed
one hundred and twenty-seven years ago, in.
Bailey's dictienity for 1730. Indeed, it
was fully desaribed, just as the essential
principles and machinery of Morse's had
been discoiered and described in:this coun
try, by Dr. Jackson and othenr' before Pro
fessor Morse's invention; though to Morse
and 'Wheatstone :belong the. great credit of
giving practical effect to the ideas of scien
tific investigation, and reducing them to ac
tual sekvice. This remarkable proplrecy
Wheatstone's telegraph" by. Bailey was as
follows :•••••••" Some authors write that, by the
help of the magnet or loadstone, persons
may communicate their minds to a friend at
a groat distance ; as, suppose one to be at
London, and' the - other at Paris, if each of
them have a,circular alphabet, like the dial
plate of a clock, and a needle touched with
one magnet, then, at the same time that the
needle at London Vas Moved, that at Paris
would' move in like manner, proVided each
party had secret notes for dividing words,
and the Observation was made at a set hour,
either of the 'day or of 'the night; and
when one' party' would , inform the other of
any matter,. he is te move the - needle to those
letters that 'will `form the words,' that will
declare what le would have the other know,
and {the other-needle Will move! in the same
manner.' This may be done reciprocally.','
FRESH WATER FOR MARINE BOILERS.
—Fresh Water is now obtained for feeding
to marine steep boilers, by a newly in
vented .process for condensing the steam
after it has been employed in the cylinders
of the engine. A pipe is from the cyl
inders into the water outside of the ship at
one side, and after being carried round the
stem of the vessel, it is made to enter the
vessel at the 'ether side, and open into a
reservoir in the hold of the ship. A pipe
opens from the - reservoir to the atmosphere,
to allow any uncondensed steam to pass off.
As the steam = from the cylinders passes
through the water of the ocean outside of
the ship; it becomes condensed, and the
fresh water, thus produced, flows into the
reservoir, from which it is pumped into the
hinters. ' The condenser pipe is set on an in
'cline, to allow . the condensed water to flow
into the reservoir. The plan - is said to
operate •
gricultural.
Transplanting Cabbages.
Often when cabbage plants are, removed
from the beds where they were raised, to
the garden square, a large portion die, and
in a few days the gardener must reset the
square with other• plants,' and this has oc
curred so frequently that most persons have
concluded that it is inevitable. Many will
doubt when we tell thein that it is wholly
,their felt that,. every plant does not
Yeetiroh is tile lint. IC t ri73lilta from two
errors, which are easily voided. One is,
that in drawing the, plan s, the roots are
broken, and the other fro' , keeping out of
ground too long, until it liecomes more or
less dry. The gardener, inntead of having
the land prepared fully before he takes up the
plant, and going through . the 'whole process of
drawing and planting in a few minutes, often
draws the plants, then Jays off the • ground,
and then drops every plant where it is to be
put, before he begins to set the first one,
and by the time he gets to the last, they are
hopelessly injured. Sometimes we have
seen such instances, the plants lying thus on
the ground, eiposed to the heat of the sun
for hours, before they are planted. If they
grew afterwards it would be very wonderful.
The plan . which we have pursued for
many years, seems to us to be far more rea
sonable, and certainly is much more success
ful than that usually followed in this region.
We prepare the land thoroughly first of all,
and then lay it off before a plant is drawn
from the bed. Some hours before the plants
are drawn, water is applied freely to the
beds;in which the plants are grofing, to
soften the earth, so that the plants can be
taken, without breaking the .roots. The
plants are then carefully drawn, and taken
at, once to the spots where they are to be
planted. There, 'meantime, a mud puddle
has been• made, by scraping away the soil,
and pouring doWn water, and mixing soil
there With until a tolerably thick mud has
been forined, into which the root of each
plant is immersed. A • considerable portion
of mud will adhere to the. root, and then as
quickly as possible they are. planted. ,The
result of this mode of planting is, that a

Coal Ashes.
An appletree in the garden of a friend,
hitherto
,unproductive, bore an abundant
crop last year. His coal ashes were all sift
ed, by mistake, around the base of this one
tree. Other causes may have had some
thing to do with it, but. we think the lime
and potash' from two or three tons of coal
ashes-furnished the aliment the tree lacked,
and threw it into bearing.
One of our neighbors, E,ts fcr along course
of years, applied all his ashes to a part of
his garden used as a potato patch. Through
the worst of years of the rot, his potatoes
yielded abundantly, and , were not affected
with the disease. The variety was the Mer
cer, which is more liable to rot than almost
any other.. He attributed his success to the
liberal use of coal ashes. The soil was' a
heavy loam, and the ashes helpe,d it mechan
ically—making it loose and pliable, as well
as furniehed valuable fertilizers. —American

WATEUING STRAWBERRrES.--june. is the
time to give strawberries a plentiful supply
of water, to be followed up three or fuer
times a week, until the first fruit ripens.
Soap suds 'and other liquid manures are
excellent. Nothing, however, but pure
water should be given after they com
mence ripening. Luscious large strawberries
through the whole season, (about five,
weeks,) can only be had by. plentiful water
ing in most seasons. There is usually a
dry spell in June, that diminishes the crop.
Try the watering on a single bed, and mark
the difference.
BlRDS.—Spare the birds in your orchards
and gardens—they are, your best friends—
they " pay their rent," not only in music
and in the delight which they afford the eye
and the heart, but also in the destruction of
myriads of rapacious insects. As a further
protection against predatory insects, hang
up a number, of wide-mouthed bottles, half
filled with molasses water, in your trees—
you will catch a great number of them.
YOUNG BUDDED AND GRAFTED TREES,
will require early attention in rubbing, off
the shoots that spring up from the `stocks;
and young transpla,nted fruit trees for gar
dens and orchards, should have useless Shoots
taken off, and long ones pinched back, so as
to form regular symmetrical heads.
DISHWATER and soapsuds, instead of-be
ing appropriated to the formation of an in
teresting puddle at the kitchen door, should
be poured at the roots of young fruit trees,
raspberry and currant bushes, and will ac
celerate their growth, and augment the size
of the fruit.
BLACK PEPPER, dusted on cucumber,
melon and other vines, when the dew is on,
is said to drive away the striped bug, and
will do no harm to the plants.
POWDERED charcoal placed• around rose
bushes and Other shrubs, has the effect of
adding greatly to the rickness of the flowers.

DR. J. W. SYKES, •
ASSOCIATE OP
• DR. CALVIN Al. FITCH,
will remain at the ST. CLAIR ROTEL, Pittsburgh, Pa., till
SATURDAY EVIININD, JULY Ilith, where ho may be con
sulted by those wishing to avail themselvea of Dr. C. N.
Pitch's system of treatment.
The combination of remedial measures adopted by Dr.
Fitch and Dr. Sykes has been so amply tested, and so abund
antly proved to be in practice all that it claim to be in
theory, that its originators do not hesitate to assert, that by
their system, relief may be obtained in all cases not abao
lutely beyond the reach of , remedies.
By this plan of treatment, the advantage of Nedicinca
and Sthenotrophic Inhalations is added to that of appropri
ate internal remedies, to renovate and sustain the strength
of the general system, and these with such mechanical
means as the case may indicate, joined to proper attention
to exercise, diet, bathing, friction, Ac., dc., will not only
afford more or leas relief in almost all cases, but will effect
permanent cures in many carea, in which only partial and
temporary relief could be obtained from any one of the,
above measures singly. 'But although many otherwise fatal
cases of consumption may be*thns relieved, there are still
many which have passed beyond hope; and those. ho are
in any way inclined to a disease so insidious, and so fearful
ly fatal as consumption, cannot be too careful to give their
cases timely attention:' The delay even of a few •weekeentay,
in many eases, tarn the scale against the patient. .
Where it is possible, we always prefer to Make' apex/meat
examination, and thus ascertain the preclie condition of the
Longa as we wish to undertake no case where we have not
a chance of doing good; and •we wish no One to consult us
who is not ready to hear , the truth.
Those unable .
to 'visit us' will, in writing, be careful to
state their caves fully, answering, at length, our published
list of questions, which will, be sent to any requesting it;
and the necessary reMedies, as well for diseasea of the
Lungs and Stomach', as for Female Diseases, may be sent by
