As to what is said Of young physician, going to

those Of his profession grew thicker he advanced,

Ior not, we have seen nothing like it in New Eng
Hand. There are some, it is true, in this land OF
hills and health, who cannot get horse to ride, but
then it is not for the want OF horses, but Of money
to buy them.


We have made some estimate of the proportion Of
practising physicians, in New England. to the rest
of the inhabitants, and near as we can jump at the

should not only be inculcated upon children and do
mestcs, but should be enforced, in such manner as
it may be best, even to chastisement of the former,
and when other means fail, to loss Of employment to
