 the sun. ii, frolnahy unforeseen or uil- ayoidable cause, great bodily exertion I have been used, 50 as to induce perspi-

 ration and fatigue-restin the open air,

 or remaining stationary in passages or

 cold rooms, or going out the same eyen- l Ing or night must be carefully avoided.

 Any feeling of chilliness or aching of

 the limbs at night, ought to be met hy a

 warm foot bath, ffIictoIls with flannel or

 a flesh brush, and a draught of simple

 warm herb tea, or even hot water.

 Increase of thirst, feverish heat, pains of the head, or palpitation, with sen sation of languor or aneasiness. are best obFiated by a reduction of the usual quantity of food--and a substitution, al- most entire, of vegetable for animal sub- stances. Liquors of all kinds, distilled vinous, or malt, are to be specially ab- stained from. The experience of their toleration during the winter will be most deceptive, if taken as guide during tie spring. Even the use of coffee and tea must, inmany cases, be discontinued -the former especially, if the person be subject to palpitations of the heart, or diseases of the skin.

 People afflicted with the latter, are thought to have their blood in an impure state, and to be under the necessity oEf having recourse to various depuratiye syrups, decoctions, and what iot. They are iine game for nostrun makers and vendors, and become ready dupes of such characters. We profess, indeed, to have ourselves some purifying and l aiterafiye beverages, in the virtues of which We place greatreiiance. Before introducing them to notice, we must, i however, beg beg pardon Of those persons 1 iaborlng under scrofuious and cuisnea ous affections to whom they are in a peculiar manner beneficial, for the two

 notable drawbacks to our winning their appreciation and confidence. The first

 cally sanctioned by the wise and expe-

 rienced of all ages and countries. as neither to require nor claim any pufing notice or lying enlogy. They are not of the class of those marvellous agents which are pompously introduced to public notice, as hurting nobody, and curing every body; which an infant might swallow with impunity, and the

 most desperate leper take, with the f;sll

 assurance of his being cleansed from all

 impurities as entirely as the Syrian of old, after bathing, by the prophets com

 mand, in the waters of the Jordan. Not

 to keep the reader any longer in sus-

 pense, the elixir of life and the genuine

 restorative are, first, pure water; and,

 second, milk, either pure as obtained from the COW, or diluted with water.or

 it's component parts separated, as in

 butter-millS or whey. Copious potatiens

 of water, at this season, will be found

 the very best purifier of the blood and

 remover of all peeeant matter; while

 milk, as an article of diet, with good I light bread, baked on the preceding

 day, or vegetables, may be regarded as

 the grand cordial and true tonia. This l is, in many countries, the food of the TO-

 bust ploughnan and hardy mountaineer,

 whose spirits are strung in 9 very difIer-

 ent key to what the slipper of wine and

 cordial, the bibber of beer and porter,

 or the tippler of ardent spirits, can boast

 of. Let us hope, in conclusion, that

 the eulogists of panaceas, and balms,

 and balsams, of patent pills and powders, essss, I the lovers of wonderful cures, and search

 CTS after the incredible, will have pa- tience with Us, this once, for protfering the language of nature and ee:s.;:.ois

 sense, even though 50 sadly at variance with their prejudices and interests.- The people nj large are stili creduious q enough for all their purposes of decep- ton; and, in despite of our poor efforts,

 will furnish them, we greatly fear, with z q rich harvest ill time to come, as they

 have always done in times past.
