or whatever you wish to term these transition points and pas. sages in the globe, are far more perfect, and, therefore, less conspicuous and less remarkable, in the world of organized animation. By Clairvoyance we anticipate the results of scientific discovery, which will be this doctrine of the origin of the human species: That mankind came not from the progressive transformation of the physical organisms of the superior animals or Troglodytes, but by and through the advanced reproductive organisms of females of the ante-human types, which had, in this particular respect, arrived at a fruit-bearing crisis or change in regard to procreation, whereby a higher type (the first human organizations,) entered upon existence. The particular philosophy of all this will be explained in our little volume on Reproductive Organism.”

The Presence of Milk.

QUESTION.-Dr. J. P. C.

[ocr errors]

"The

Iowa, relates a remarkable case, and asks whether the presence of milk in the breast is not an infallible sign of an advanced stage of gestation and preg nancy?

ANSWER.-No; the secretion and accumulation of milk in the breast is not an infallible sign, because there are many wellestablished exceptions. And yet, as a great general principle, the fact of pregnancy is invariably accompanied by this kind of evidence. Man's organization has been known to secrete and convey milk to one of the breasts, and thus to support life in a very young child. Captain Franklin, in his interesting narrative of his journey to the shores of the Polar Sea, relates the case of a young man, of the Chipewyan tribe, who, having lost his wife three days after giving birth to a son, actually nursed the child from his left breast, and long subsequently it was ascertained that he had discharged the duties of wet nurse

toward several little members of his son's family. He performed these offices, so unbecoming to his sex, from gratitude to the "Great Master of Life" for permitting him to save his motherless infant son.

Cure for Inferior Desires.

QUESTION." Is there anything in the Materia Medica that will prevent sensual thoughts from rising in the mind?”

ANSWER. This disease, in the majority of cases, is hereditary. Being wholly ignorant of the direful consequences, thousands encourage depraved imaginings, until character is malformed and virtue is swept from the sphere of private life. No system of medicine is master of the human system. All pre tensions of physicians to cure reproductive diseases, are impositions. Otherwise, the word would be: "Go heedlessly forth -sin every day-you shall not suffer."

With great success, however, we have prescribed, for the truly repentant, two grains. of African Capsicum (cayennepepper,) made into a pill, and swallowed the last thing on retiring every night, and continued for several weeks. For the young, this prescription is particularly effective and useful. Sufficient employment, mild diets, cold water bathings, and contemplations of Nature, are all remedial. The sovereign remedy is a true conjugal life, wherein love-not passion-rules the soul with an unerring government.

Stop the use of cane sugar in every form. Take no drinks, cakes, or puddings, which are sweetened with sugar or treacle. Grape or rose saccharine is good. Hence honey is not injuri ous in this disease. Another way to restore the seminal vessels. to their original strength, is, to chew plentifully of the leaves and flowers of chamomile during the forenoon, only swal

lowing the wine and saliva, which, by the process of mastication, you extract from the quid.

Weakness of Bladder and Kidneys

Bathe your back and throat in cold water every morning From breakfast to dinner chew prickly-ash berries, or bayberry bark, either of which will cure a weakness of the bladder and kidneys. A throat affection is sympathetic.

If you have often a weakness through the small of the back, which prevents you from doing anything that requires strength, there is an incipient disease in the kidneys—a wasting process inaugurated in the cellular tissues-which must be stopped at once. Sweets must not be taken; no pastries; nor hot drinks of any description. Get Thimble Weed (Rudbeckia lacinata,) and chew it plentifully every afternoon, swallowing only the juice and balsamic properties. Frequently bathe the loins in cold water. Every night wear on your back a cold compress (a bandage wrung out in cold water,) and well protected with woolen cloth of much thickness. Disuse all very salt food; no fresh-baked bread; plenty of fruit, if well-cooked but not for supper.

Cure for Fluor Albus.

It is not necessary here to enumerate the primitive causes that ultimate in Leucorrhoea. Every intelligent young lady is sufficiently enlightened on physiology to know that the increasing discharge of a white secretion from the internal membranes is certain to result unhappily in the after years, which should be full of joy and beauteous health.

REMEDY. Use a syringe every morning of white of an egg, thoroughly amalgamated with a table-spoonful of liquid honey Pour this mixture into sufficient blood-warm water to make

over half a pint, for injection. At night take a one-grain pill of the extract of chamomile. After one month, if your symp. toms are not removed, substitute for the above injection one pint of blood-warm water, containing from three to six drops of 'diluted sulphuric acid. In a few weeks get your druggist to make you an hundred pills, of two grains each, composed of equal parts of extracts of chamomile and dandelion. Take two every other night. Obey all the laws of Nature, and so realize a full unity with the Spirit of your Father God.

Cure for Vaginitis, or Irritation.

All women, young or advanced, may treat the symptoms o this affection, and cure it. The term "Vaginitis" is applied by pathologists to that very prevalent irritation and painful inflammation of the vagina, caused by some form of the disease known as leucorrhoea. The Bulletin de Therapeutie publishes the most reasonable prescription for this painful affection, consisting of eighty parts of glycerine and twenty of tannic acid.

When the vaginitis first appears, the inflammatory symptoms should be calmed by appropriate regimen, baths, and frequent emollient injections. When the first stage of the inflammation has passed away, and the careful introduction of the speculum has become possible, abundant injections of water are to be thrown in, so as to remove all the muco-pus which lines the walls of the vagina, and these are then dried by a plug of charpie, placed at the end of a long forceps. Then three plugs of wadding, well soaked in glycerine and tannic acid, are to be introduced. Next day, after a bath, the plugs are removed, new injections made, and the dressing repeated. M. Demarquay has never had to have recourse to more than four or five such dress ings. After discontinuing them, astringent injections, consist ing of infusion of walnut-leaves, in which one drachm of alum

to the quart has been dissolved, are employed two or three times a day for a week or ten days.

Cure for Painful Menstruation.

For painful menstruation and low circulation, we prescribe magnetic manipulations. If you cannot avail yourself of this treatment, then, as a substitute, wear a fur garment below your waist, enveloping the entire abdomen and the hips, which should be put on and worn constantly about three days before the flow commences, and taken off two or three days subsequent to the cessation. If your feet and body are painfully cold, after retiring for the night, your best remedy is very long fur stockings, and mittens of the same, with neatly-fitting wristlets. Wear these only at night. Fur soles within your shoes during the day, or moccasins. Lamb-skins, with wool next to your body, will answer in place of certain kinds of fur. The fur should always be worn with the flesh-side inward.

Whenever menstrual pains are severe, or your body is more than usually weak, put across the small of your back, over the kidneys, and reaching to the loins, a girdle of flax-seed poultice, well sprinkled with pulverized camphor.

Displaced Uterus.

The throat diseases, and many other symptoms which afflict you, are caused by the derangements of the reproductive organ isms. REMEDY.-Let some lady physician adjust the organ to its appropriate place about two days before menstruation. Do nothing that will cause a recurrence of the misplacement. Take the Spring Beverage as prescribed. Use your Will whenever you walk in doors or out.

Cure for Spina Bifida.

Physicians have classified this disease into dropsy of the spine (Hydrorachis,) and an incomplete state of the vertebra,
