| To the Editor Of The TribHHs:


Will you do one OF your readers tue favor OF in.
serting the following respecting statement which
has been published, and will doubtless be very ex-
tensively circulated 1t appears that the French
Government in reference 10 the proposed formation
OF an Hydropathic Institution in Paris, submitted
the matter 10 the French Academy for decision.
After mature consideration The following were
the conclusions =" That Hydrorailly is danger
Gus herapeutical method, which does no. rest on
fact: 2nd that It's theory is chimerical; 3D. that IL
is in dsaccotd with our chemical and pathological
doctrines 4th ,a, the Academy cannot in any way
approve of it; 9TH. that the Use OF cold water has
been long in The domain OF medicine and submitted
10 rules


Leaving out of question the contradictory tSa;-
Ting in these conclusions, may be well TO stale ior
the information OF those who are seekers and lovers
Of truth, though il come from rude moun;aln-Fea-

physicians. Is ii al all supposable that they even

which the past generations stored up their wisdom
and learning were more healthy than the natural,
unaccommodatcd hair" And more, this body does
not always preserve itse!t from change. II has
been known TO procure its arret du parlement,'
and then in few years procure revocation OF the
same thing.


Hydropalhy is however fast gaining in France
lis Government sent a medical commission ofinqni-
~ TO the Gracenberg Institution, and in conse-
quence OF its faYorable report institutions have been
rapidly formed. The subject, wherever fairly intro
duced from lis own intrinsic WORTH must meet with
favor Its course from the first has been gradually
and steadily onward. 1t was not commenced by
any traiiicng speculator in medicine, but by mod
EST, unpre,endng peasant, and who was led into
practice wholly from accident and The entreales OF
the suffering around him. The great unthinking
of earth,' each wise in his own conce may or
time, but not always, induce people 10 believe that
Hyirobaihy is ali Ieusion-ihat II does not rest
