AS population and agriculture have in
creased, there has been a modification OF
diseases, in all climates of the world. In
New England, within the last forty years,
physicians have remarked a variety Of dis
eases, which have gradually become COM
mon. that formerly were only known thro'
the med um of authors. Shows fall less
frequently, less in quantity. are but ephe-
neral, compared with those heavy bod.
les which laid! three and four months upon
the ground, half century ago. Sudden
changes oftemperature, Of from summer-heat
to the severest extremes of cold, are now
experienced in those months, which were
once nearly stationary at freezing
point. Old people suier more by these
variations OF climate, than those who have
beeu born within the last so years


Chronic rheumatic inflammation was
scarcely known to the Older physicansn IN
New-England; now, it is one of the most
frequent complaints Of the aged. nor are
the young exempt from it.-RhcumatIc
affections have been rapidly increasing tor
many years. Remedies which were pre-
scribed with happy results in any class
oi diseases, have been found, at Intervals
!of few years. inadequate to their rcmov
al ; to no class has this observation been
more commonly and more truly applied
than to inflammatory a!lectons,-Bood-
letting, which has been efficient at one
season of the year, has proved most fatal
at another: hence, a successful line Of
practice in the eastern States, consists III
constantly varying prescriptions to cores
pond with the pecularities of varying
climate. Arbitrary regulations in the
practice of medicine, in relation to doses
or the precise times Of administering them
at this time. would only subject the phy,sI-
clan to endless disappointments, and de-
feat the object of his profession. these
alterations of climate have evidently ~
duced much greater mortality by lnan'-
