FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. Too . .much _ is said against tea by wise people, and too much of tea is given to the sick by foolish people— When you see the natural and almost universal craving in English sick, for their, " tea," :You cannot but feel that nature knows what she is about, But a little tia_ or, coffee, restores them quite* much as a great ideal; and a great. deal of tee,' and . especially of Coffee, impOierthe little, power of digestion they have. • , Yet the , ritirie becatme . she sees how one or two-cups of tea •or coffee'Testores her patient, thinks that three or four- will do twice as much. This is not-the case at. all; it is, however, certain that there is noth ing yet discovered whieh is a substitnte to the ~English Ladle*•for his cup of:tea ; he can take it' When hocan take nothing else, and lie' often cannot: take anything else if he has ;It not. I should be very glad if any of the abusers of tea would point, out, what to give to an 'Engliali. patient, after a slbefileas *night Instead' if lea. If you give it at five or six o'clock • in` the. morn ing,. he may 'eireneometimes fall aileep after it, and, get. perhaps,' hie •only two or three heurs'..*§leep during the twenty-four.

Lehman, quoted'by Dr. Christmon, says, that,among the well and active " the..infusion. of an ounce of roasted coffee daily, will diminish the waSte, going on in the body by'one- fourth.;" and •Dr. Christisen adds •that tea has the. same property. Now, this is actual experiment. = ...Lehman weighs the man and 'finds - Ai; fact fromlie weight. it not dedticted from any 'analysis" of footte' exPerience among the sick shows the ' thing. Cocoa is often reconitnended to the sick in lied Ofttea or coffee. '.But independently of thelant, that Englisheick very gen . erally dislike cocoa, it has onite a different effect froin', tea or • coffee: A It, is an' oilyystarohy nut, havingrinrestorative power At all, but simply increasing fat. - It is pure mockery of' the sick, therefore, to call it a substitute for tea. For any renovating stimulus it has, you might, just', as well offer them chestnnts instead of tea. An almost universal error among nurses is the bulk of food, and especially the drinks they offer to their patients.

In the evidence *given during the - early part of this session..before the select com mittee on the Queen's Printers' patent, the annual production of Bibles in this coun try is estimated r by, ,O.". Knigh t, as be tween two and three millions of copies. The books for', which there is the next largest permanent, demand are sold to be - Shakespeare," and, perhaps, " The Pil grim's Progress;" but it is not considered that, more than ,twenty thousand copies of "'Shakespeare' - are sold in a:year. It szp peais that there was, until - of late years,, much carelessness in..printing the Bite. So recently as 1831 ? Principal Lee stated, " I do not know any book of which it is so difficult to find a very, correct edition, AS the English Bible." The' Bibles 'now is sued from the Universities and by the Queen's printers are . very accurate;; the. Oxford printers offer a guinea for the dis covery of any mistake. But some of the Bibles allowed (On account - 4 having notei) to be printed by private printers have ver bal inaccuracies, and there, are errors in some Bibles which have been ,published in Scotland, where Bible ,printing is free. to all, but`under supervision.. In the United States a preference, is given. ,to_English tions printed by authority, because it is considered a .greater security for -the cor- - rectness of the text; and ,the preference cannot be wondered at, when we find a printer stating before this committee. that an edition of the Bible with notes was is by a private printer irk -.England and got into extensive circulation ) . and it was proposed to Trint it in Scotland Under the authority' of the Bible Board, but • they found so many errors in it that they re— jected it, and so (says .the .witness) the "copies had to be, exported:! r Printer's state in their evidence , that there is great difficulty in attaining correctness with re gard to the italics ; one' improvement pro posed has been that of printing within brackets the words •necessary to make up the sense, instead of printing then i in-ital ics, ".according to the barbarous custom of the present printers .
