DR.. Prus. of Paris, has just published a
naw droctrine Of Medicine, in which he
maintains that the study ofthe healthy man
can never lead to the knowledge of the dis
eased man; that the state of health and the
state Of disease offer distinct phenomena;
that the symptoms, seat, signs and proper
treatment of morbid affections are not dis
closed by physiology, and therefore, that
physiology can never be the foundation of
medicine. ne subsequently, examines the
real utility of physiology; points cut the in i.
evitable evils which it has caused since its
forced introduction into pathology, and
places physiological doctrine by the side of
those physical, mechanical & chymical doc
trines, the fatal influence of which is nearly
universal. The art OF healing, according to
DIR. Prus. is founded solely on the examina-


tion and appreciation ofthe phenomena which
attend sick person: and he traces them up
to their primitive causes, that is, to tn.
changes which the vital properties sustain.--
