Indeed, tltc ten- dency of modern science has been rathcrl to discover the causes of disease than to invent new remedies. Men are fast losing their faith in drugs. The intelligent physician is now content, when he meets with an intelligent patient,to allow nature to effect. the care. And nature, if allow" cd to pursue her operations without itin- drunce and opposition, in ninety cases out of a hundred of all curable ailments, will restore the patient to ltcaith without the least of what is ircqucntly vcry im- properly callcd ‘assistuncu.’ But men and \i‘omm take a. very great deal of trouble to contract diseases.

them with disease. They put on all the airs of ma’rtyrs and lay their sufferings at the door of a Merciful Creator, whose beautiful anti delicate hundwork has long withstood and vainly strivcn to counter- act tlie effects of their persistent folly and ignorance. How many of our readers, think you, have given nature fair play in the manner in which they have treated their bodies since they came to years of discretion 3 How malty among us have been intelligently cared for in the (lays of our infancy P \Vc are quite convinced that if the diseases of l’rovidencc's in- fliction were compared with those which ‘i'vehavo foolishly, ignorantly, and wick- cdly contracted ourselves. tltelattcr would outnumber the former a thousand to one. We daily suffer from colds, influeuzcs, fevers, indcgostion, scrofola, and many other complaints which we have brought on ourselves in spite of the many indig. nant and emphatic protests ot nature. She does not allow us to break her laws with impunity, and ifwe go on transgress- ing in spite of her warnings and her punishments, we have no business to murmur at the consequences or to throw upon Providence the blame of our own transgresuimts. Our constitutions are subject to certain laws which must be obeyed if we wish to enjoy the perfection of good health——-” a sound mind iii a sound body.” Every farmer knows that an liar—tin. titres action-‘3'; prepared, and if the growing plant does not rcccch an abundant supply of moist- ure, air and sunshine, its dcvelopement will be hindered, and it will never arrive at full maturity.
