Review Of Literature, The Drama, &C.
which her less fortunate sister has to contend with—whereby she may appreciate the blessing , and if she have the power and opportunity , contribute to assist others to avoid the dangers which attend the tortuous path . The anxious mother and suffering girl will in these pages find much to interest , and consolation , if they attend to the precepts that are laid down . Mr . Coulson ' s work is worthy the perusal of the profession , and will , if we are not mistaken , advance his practice as it has done his reputation .
Homaiopathy and Allopathy , or Large , Small , and Atomic Doses . By David Uwins , M . D . — " Salus populi suprema lex , " may be quoted as introductory of a subject so very important to the public health , as is this brochure by Dr . Uwins . We have made the acquaintance of temperance societies and tea parties , and now in these piping times of economy , the dose infinitessimal advances its pretensions to our notice . Verily the politician and statesman may take example and gain honor by observing
the grand principles of homoeopathy , in reducing taxation to an infinitessimal impost . The physician in his turn will deserve the gratitude of that peculiar organ , the stomach , by enabling it to attain a higher character , than being merely the "Apothecaries' shop . " Children yet unborn shall bless the day that discarded the domestic practice of our great grand-dams , who with senna tea and prunes and other aids , kept the little ones in regularity . The whole Masonic Craft in both
hemispheres will hail the joyful tidings of Homoeopathy with sounds of gladness , in the surety that one millionth part of one drop of brandy in a little water , sweetened with as much sugar as may be invisible to the eye , shall answer all the purposes of festivity ; what a saving to the funds ! A monument ! a monument to Hahneman and his disciples ! Such were the first impressions on reading our emancipation from bleedingblisteringcauterycalomeland other dreadful munitions of

experience . A protest has been entered by the Addisons , Brights , and Johnsons against the new theory , which we believe to have made but slow progress , except among the higher orders , whose complaints being generally of less serious though chronic character , they may be permitted to indulge in harmless experiments .
