sion, in the stomach and throughout the bowels; all which is quickly succeeded by great depression of Will and spirits, and by severe vomiting and purging, and a clammy sweat all over the body; sometimes there is much difficulty in breathing, hiecough, irregular pulse, convulsions, cramping of the cords in the legs, and a coldness of the skin, while the patient persists in calling-for cooling drinks, thinking that he is burning up with great heat.

REMEDY. Do not fear anything, but make up your mind not to die in that unbecoming manner. The cause of all your suffering is to be traced to some imprudences of your own. Stomach and liver are resisting the evils of your recent violations. Put mustard and onion poultices on the feet, extending up the legs; also poultice the hands, wrists, and the stomach and bowels; or use plentifully of hot-water cloths over the stomach and intestines. Eat nothing. Drink weak lemonade and flax-seed tea, without sugar; or lime-water, in order to stop the vomiting and quiet the bowels. Abstain from solid food for many days. If the cholera should result in a dysentery, then treat the patient according to directions for that disease.

Treatment for Typhoid Fever.

September is a fearful month to persons who are predisposed to a low grade of typhoid fever. The summer time, with its peculiar influences upon the brain and blood, in passing away, is certain to leave a "strait" for mankind, filled with malarious vapors and bilious fevers. There are three predisposing and producing causes of eccentrical epidemics, viz.:

1st. The miasmatical character of the location, and the conspiring effluvia of its environs.

2. The position of the location with reference to peculiar No, rudinal magnetic currents of the earth.

3d. The situation of the street, or city, or other location, as determining the degree of light received from the sun.

In different places a low form of typhoid debilities prevail -with a slow, consuming fever-but without producing the ulcers in the bowels, and lesions, which are the well-known characteristics of the regular typhoid.

REMEDY.-Stop all food as soon as your head begins to ache. Drink nothing but cold flax-seed tea, or the tea of slippery elm, with a few drops of lemon-juice. Magnetism is a great remedy if applied vigorously to the extremities in the early stages of the disease. The Water Cure system is the best for the symptoms of this fever. Nothing can be more remedial, or more grateful to a hot skin, than a wet-sheet pack once or twice a day. But we think there is no danger from this fever, if the patient will. abstain from food on the first noticeable symptom, and gradually return to his customary diet after his appetite is fully restored. Quinine and calomel are popular but dangerous medicines. They leave the patient with some other disease.

The Physical and Spiritual Man.

Man is a UNIT. It is not true that he has a body to be cured of disease separate from his mind; nor is it true that man has a spirit, a soul, a heart, to be cured of sin-diseases separate from his body. The physical and spiritual organizations of man are, in this rudimental or caterpillar state of existence, "one and inseparable!" If clergymen suppose (as many of them most conscientiously do,) that the moral and religious sentiments and qualifications of the human soul can be touched and unfolded into practical exercise merely by preaching sacred principles to it, then we are impressed to undeceive them. And if physicians believe (as many of them profess to,) that the human body can be cured of its endlessly modified afflictions merely by

administering scientific preparations of mineral and vegetable substances, then we are also impressed to undeceive them. It is absolutely impossible to develop realizations of heaven in the soul when that soul is not attuned to perfect har mony. From various causes, which have been fully explained, the animating essence of the buman body is thrown or pressed into different degrees of discord; and the relation between this essence and every organ, nerve, and muscle, is so inconceivably and inexpressibly intimate, that the body becomes the day-book and ledger in which are recorded the most trivial as well as the most complicated of disturbances which the spirit is made to experience. The enlightened mind, therefore, cannot but perceive that any unsettled accounts between the human soul and external nature will act as positive obstructions to the development and exercise of pure religious principles. But how surprisingly unphilosophical are the teachers of the present generation! How unphilosophical and useless to preach and complain that the human heart is slow to perceive truth, is inclined to evil and sin, that it resists the saving and momentous truths of heaven, when, from some cause, the soul—the entire individual-is suffering from the melancholy effects of dyspepsia, or constipation, or from other constitutional inharmonies!

The Physiology of Courage.

Emerson, in his latest work, gives the physiology of cour age: Courage—the old physicians taught (and their meaning holds good, if their physiology is a little mythical)-courage, or the degree of life, is as the degree of circulation of blood in the arteries. “Daring passion, anger, fury, trials of strength, wrestling, fighting, a large amount of blood is collected in the

Bes, the maintenance of bodily strength requiring it, and

.....

but little is sent into the veins. This condition is constant with intrepid persons." Where the arteries hold their blood, is courage and adventure possible. Where they pour it unrestrained into the veins, the spirit is low and feeble. For performance of great mark, it needs extraordinary health. There is no chance in results. With adults, as with children, one class enter cordially into the game, and whirl with the whirling world; the others have cold hands, and remain bystanders, or are only dragged in by the humor and vivacity of those who can carry a dead weight. The first wealth is health. Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve any one: it must husband its resources to live. But health or fullness answers its own ends, and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men's necessities.

Tea, Coffee, Cocoa, and Chocolate.

Coffee, or tea, or chocolate, when very strong and very hot, are very injurious. It is not the tea, nor the coffee, that is injurious to the constitution, but it is their strength, their too great heat, and their excessive use. pleasant and highly valuable tonic. and weak cocoa and chocolate are both important beverages in some lingering and nervous complaints.

Cold coffee is sometimes a
Tea is not very injurious,

Sweet Oil as a Remedy for Poison.

"It is now over twenty years," says a dairyman, "since I learned that sweet oil would cure the bite of a rattlesnake, not knowing that it would cure any other poison. Practice, observation, and experience, have taught me that it would cure poison of any kind, both in man and beast. I think no farmer should be without a bottle in his house. The patient must take a spoonful internally and bathe the wound for a cure. To cure

a horse it requires eight times as much as a man. Here let me say, one of the most extreme cases of snake bites in this neighborhood, eleven years ago this summer, when the case had been over thirty hours standing, and the patient given up to die by his physician, I heard of it, carried the oil, gave him one spoonful, which created a cure. It is an antidote for arsenic and strychnine. It will cure bloat in cattle, caused by eating too freely of fresh clover; it will cure the sting of bees, spiders, or any other insects; and it will cure persons who have been poisoned by low running vines, growing in meadows, called ivy."

[The reader is prepared to believe that our confidence in the sovereign virtues of olive oil is strong, from the frequency with which it is prescribed in this volume. But we do not indorse the merits and uses of sweet oil to the above extent. So much reliance upon its power to antidote every kind of poison, would be attended with great and fatal disappointment.]

Remedies for Fever and Ague.

Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, as we have before written, illustrates the origin and philosophy of all human diseases. It will be seen that the temperature of the body is thrown into a positive state by certain electrical conditions of the atmosphere, and into a negative state by conditions which are exactly opposite. The negative condition is cold, and the positive warm. In other words, the positive state is the feverish condition, and the negative state the condition of chill. Fever and chills in the atmosphere, therefore, develop and strengthen fever and chills in the human system. This atmospherical condition can and does exist a long time, in some seasons and countries, before the resisting power of the human body is overcome. But the physical structure, like the spiritual

ure, is ever subject to the influence of surrounding condi
