 T suaptiOn.-The late lamented death of Il Dr. Bushe from that form of consumption f known as chronic bronchitis. painfully re- minds me of duty the subscriber owes to | his profession and to society, of making known a simple form of treatment that has never failed him in curing this form of con- I sumption, so destructive to the clerical and literary professions this streatmentis is of near ly equal efficacy in catarrhal phthisis, and is a valuable remedy for consumption in all its forms when in it's chronic stages, and free from all infiammatory symptoms. This treatment is based on the pathology of con- sumption, as generic name for disease. l Under the name of consumption are irl- cluded that variety of diseases of the lungs attended with approximation of purulent mat ter from the breathing surface of the lungs, connected with emaciation, hectic fever, and it's concomitants, night sweats, colliquative diarrhoea, Sc. All the forms of consump- ! tion act on the general health from one com mon cause.-The presence of matter acting upon absorbing surfaces, and thus produ- cing those symptoms known as hectic feper.- It is the presence and violence of this synp- tom of consumption, that prostrates the pa tient, until it more or less slowly ends in death. It is the consequence of this hectic fever, and not the immediate disease of the lungs causing it, that forms the source of fa- tality from consumption.

 The treatment I now with reluctant diffi- dence submit have successfully used for more than twelve years, and during that pe- riod of medical practice, am not aware of having lost more than four or five patients I from all the various forms of consumption, and these were mostly passed to that stage ,l of disease where the structure of the lungs had become so extensively diseased, as to proo1nda fhp' nfr rn0re than nalIiafivp trpaf- ment. Cases of chronic bronchitis were in every instance cured by it, even when the purulent expectoration amounted to fpints daily, with hectic fever, diarrhRa, cold sweats, and entire physical prostration.

 The treatment is the administration of sul- phate ofcopper in nauseating doses, combin- Led with gum ammoniac, given so as to nau- seate, but not ordinarily to produce full vom- iting the usual dose for this purpose is about halfa grain and five grains of the respective ingredients, in a teaspoonful of water, to be taken, at first twice, and in the conyalescent stages once day. A5 ga ls.fI the sulphate of copper alone is superadded. In this latter form of consumption, this treat ment almost invariably suspends the hectic symptoms in few days, and the disease rapidly advances to it's final cure. +@ Il In cases of the more proper forms of con- sumption the treatment must be intermitted frequently and again returned to; and when ever soreness of the chest, or other symptoms of inf1ammatory action exist, the treatment r should be suspended as it is in the chronic state alone that the remedy is indicated or useful--that state in which the condition of the general system alphabetically involv- ed becomes the more prominent symptom, and the success of the treatment depends

 fhksfi1 action of the deceased lung, on the more healthy tone of the stomach, and increasing it's digestive powers, and likewise causing, during nauseating action, more active and

 healthy circulation of blood through the lungs. Its curative powers are more inne- diately attributable to these effects ofits ac- tion. But theory apart, the treatment is pre- ksented based on more than ten years experi- ence of its curative advantages, in the prop CT treatment of diseases of fmucopurulenta and purulent expectoration.

 Having left profession that more nearly

 than any other approaches the pure duties of humanity, but which has nearly ceased in this country to be honorable or profitable, have little motive in exposing myself to that certain ridicule that follows the annunciation that consumption may be cured, but the as- surance of practical experience, and the de- sire of making public a means of saving life, in one of it's most frequent and unwelcome exits. @ .'5'r EDw. c.

 The Catnip and Motherwort Currency in Co'tnecticaa. Money matters appear to be ea- sy in some parts of Connecticut, and the greatest facilities are afforded in the affair of change-especially at the turnpike gates. A l gentleman travelling recently in his carriage in some part of the state, was stopped in tran- l situ by an old woman employed to keep the toll gate. She could not change the gentle mans bill, and his case seemed hopeless ] enough until madam mentioned to him that l she would take his bill if he would take the | change in vegetables at par. A proposal that he promptly accepted, being willing we SUD- pose, to take any thing for the sake of getting ahead. He gave her the bill, and she soon re- turned with certain choice parcels of fcatnip, cumfrey, mint, nayweed, motherwort, and other yarbs, sovereign in divers diseases, in- cluding in this case that of a collapse of the pocket. The traveller took his "better cur rency" and drove off, When he reached the next gate, he ought to have passed off one part of his change under the denomination of Benton's "mint drops" The catnip and Silas Wright.-Gazette.

 FARMERs.-Such times as these may have a salutary effect in teaching farmers the folly 1 of making SO many of their sons traders or l professional men,. The facility with which literary and scientific advantages can now be enjoyed, through the cheapness of books and other publications, with the improving con- ditlon ot the schools, newspapers, and other comforts and conveniences of civilization, | leave little excuse for those who thrust their
