The following rli le ha been going the rounds of Ihe newspaper, including many of those in Philadelphia, purporting to be taken from the lectures of Dr. Chapman on the Prac tice of Phytir: 'Gentlemen: if sou could only tee what I almost dailr see in nif -rivate prae. t'ce in the city, persons from the South in the very last stags' of wrete' ed existence, emaciated lo a skeleton; with both tables of the skull almost completely prrPiratd in manyplarei: the nnseh.!i gone, with rotten jaws, ulcerated throats, bieaJti more pestiferous more intolerable than poisonous upas, limb cracked wilh the pains ot the innu sittim, minds at imbecile at the poling babe, a grievmi burden to themselvra and a disgusting specttble tu others, you wou'd exclaim,. as I have often done, 0! the lamentable want of acience that dictates the abuse of that (toxinos drug, calomel, in the.

Cannot the veriest fool in Christendom salivate give calomrl! But I will ask another question. Who is it (hat csn stop the career of mer cury, at will, afler it ha taken tha reins in it own destructive and ungbvernsble hands! He who, for sn ordinary csuse. resig.iS tho fate of his patient to ercurf ) is a vile enemy to the sick, and if he i. tolerably popular, will in .one successful season have pavrd the way for the business ,tf Hf. f,ir Ka hafl nntirrh In ifn vt ftft. .. .... . ....... 0. . .... ..... j wards to stop the mercurial breach of the constitution of hit dilapidated patient He ha thrown himself in fearful proximi ty to death, and has now to fight him at arm's length ss long a the patient main tain a miserable existence." Did (hi loathsome and horrid picture present a proper view of the condition of Southern practice and of Southern patient it would be aVare Ih rig to find a man of middle age, who wa free from mutilation and to ne permitted to wear a nose, un shorn of its natural proportion, would be a privlege o uncommon, that he who pos sessed it, would excite as much curiosity in the streets of Richmond, i he of the note did or old in 9traburg. It there be any troth or justice in thia wholesale de nunciation, the inference is irresistible, and was intended to be conveyed by the writer that Southern. Physicians habitual lv retort to salivation as an ordinary mode of treating disease. Does not the expe rience ot every southern man, as wen those in at out of the profession, give a flat denial to any such conclusions u far from this being true, salvation is a true occurrence in the practice nf any Physi cian within my know ledge, snd when it doe occur is almost aUays accidental. If it were otherwise, however to whrse authority could the uUra merrurialist ap peal with tome unilonbtmg confidence lor his entire justification to that nf the assil ant himself? Dr. Chapman in his work on Materia Medics and Thernpeotir. re commends salivation, and tinned in some cases for that to be con- rrks, as a re- medv for more than half of the diseases to which the sjstem of man is liable, and uses these words near the conclusion of j the subjec1: As formerly mentioned . fhe& i scarcely one i)ieae.in which roer- j cury way not, under certain cireumstan-1 ces, be advantageously exhibited.

It may be, and sometimes i necessary to resort to Ihe alterative action of some prepa-ation idmerrorv, but it never can be beneficial in any disease lo push it to deep salivation, and that to be sustained fur week a recommended; . such practice if universally reprobatvd by the-whole Southern profession.' - , . It might be inferred that it was loth too , ftcouent use of Calomel as a purga tive, and to the large dose given in the South, ihat thia sweeping indictment o wed ita origin..

" '-' The article,." '(says, our author, in page SOO of the t-ir volume of hi work.) wjiiib first arrests our attention, is Cal omel or submuriate mercury, and of all the purgatives, this lit the? mot important snd the one which i suKeptible of the widest application in the practice of Phy tic There 1 rarcely eny.ease in which purging is required, that it me- not be o regulated; either alone ot in rombina tiin aa to met tlie several ind'cations. It has he singular pnihe'fty of imparting force to many f the mild, and mnder- tins (he seveiitv of Ihe eanstic melicinf. Whenever we wid a strwic and nerma- nent imr.resainn to be made on ihe atimen-.p tsry canul itself and through it on the neighboring vitrera or the avstem gener ally. Calomel, by nnive.'sal' consent, it consecrated to these purpose. Uutbe sides the superior efficacy of Cslomel as a purgative, it i recommendJ br Hie fs- rilitj with which it-is administered. Destitute of taste or odor, and minute in its doses, it will often be tkn when other medicine sre refused, and msy be so disguised as to be impoerd on the most suspicious or unmanageable of our patients. "Uaiomel, ho continues, "on every ac count, seem to be peculnrlv adapted loth eiwes of children. Whether we wtah to re lieve ac'o.il clisase, or merely to evi.easte lhecoottmtg of the howels, it always oper ate leniently and efficaciously. But, by many it i supposed to he a violent pnrjra tive, ami henee there i a popnlat prejudice s;aint i .a rise in the complaints of children. I am entirely convinced, from a very exten sive experience with the me-dirine, that in those esse its action ia incomparably mild er than in roos advanced life.'' Again, he remarks, on the next page of hia work, "we commit a mistake in givmg too email a quantity of this medicine. Employed largely, its action is infinitely lest harsh and irritating to the stomach snd bowels, snd is not so apt to be rejected by vomiting, ita purgative operation being more prompt and complete,' and consequently, he might.with truth bavt added, it is mnch less apt to sal ivate when given in large than small dose. "I have known," ha continues, "a drachm to bo taken at a time without inconvenience or even with moch increase of effort;" and in many parts of hi work ha refer to and commends the authority of Dr.. Hamilton, who, ho says, " em calomel to a child of two years ole', to the extent of 100 grama in 24 hours." Such, gentlemen, was the practice taught by Professor Chapman In ihe University of Pennsylvania 25 year s go; and if Southern physicians are deficient in skill, he, by whom three-fourlh of them were instructed is to blame. He has thought (it, it seems, lo abandon, in the evening of his li'e, principles and opinion, the bold and able advocacy of which gave promise to its morning and reputation, and utefu'nesa to it meredian. These principles were true then, are true still, and are able to withstand all Ihe assaolts that can be mads on them in Philadelphia of elsewhere. The affectation of supcrrority, which hreathes through every line of thia attack on Southern medicine, is as objectionable as its statements are onjnsl. "WTiat merit," he ask, "do rentlemen of the Sooth flatter themselves they possess by being able to salivate patient? Cannot the veriest fool in Christendom salivate give calomelr" Is such language as this proper, professional or becoming? The venerable professor has much mistaken the character or Southern men, if he .h em such a course likely, either tu improve the practice of medieine or the prospects of the University of Pennsylvania. If the Doctor meets with as many patients aa h6 avers, laboring under the dreadful affec tions he describes, they do not come from the South, nor are they the result of mer curial action; for I will defy him and every other assailant of calomel, to produce, by any action he can create by. its moans, in the sytiem, any one of the horrid consequences he has eo grrphic ally detailed. They are the necessary ren!ts that flow from ultraism in medicine. When oil specific action, ejther remedial oi dieessed, is denied, and disease itself i tauirht to consist rluiost exclusively of iiiflsmalinn of the mncnu mcnibrat.e cf the alimentary canal end leeches, gruel and gum wster, the most potent weapon with which to remove it it is not wonderful that sticji case as the Doctor deserihe should so frequently rear their gorgon hrnds, in region where surh doctrines prevail. Cervantes haa hnnmlv foreshadowed this . modern school of milk and water medicine, in the scconnt he has given us of tho modicril ad viser of Sancho Panza in his government of Barrataria. These learned Doctors "Who, trio deep for poor Sanrlio, still went on rennirtjr. aiki ifongnt oi convincing w liilc ho thought of dining;" came .to the tags conclusion that the ' digrsiive Organs were so delicate that no article of lood could he eaten with safety bv the half famished Goi-ernor. He, coufounded and bewildered ss he w ss, by their learned jargon, determin ed, nevertheless, to exercise that slron? common sense, for which he was so cele brated, and that urged him to throw offthe tinsel and gTittor of greatness, abandon the refined abstractions of hi physicians, and return to plain life and plain food, which his own experince had proved to be "not on ly safe', tut salutary. f So with tills system of physic, w hich inculcate that all disease consist ft gastro-e nterio inflamma(idn-that all irritants are obviously injurious thai all medicine sre prltani ergo, wat au roeoi ! cinware improper in diicai.
