fume to her sense. A medical man is cal led in to treat her. He pursues a course of medication which leaves her in her convale - cence, disrobed of her beauty. Her eye that were like two pices of heaven, lose their lustre, become sunk, and saddened. Her complexion that wa like the blended shades of peach and pearl, becomes like parch- ment—her clustering curls no longer reacl down to kiss her cheek. Rescued from th grave, yet the untimely frosts of age have fallen upon her youth, and she goes along the road of life with step and form too clear- ly indicating the despair of the spirit that lives within. Another Physician practicing upon a dit ferent system, also preserves her life—-lie protects her beauty, exalts vitality and love liness and cheerfulness unite and kiss upon her forehead, causing the tell tale blood to rise into her face like clouds of eve to morn’s opening eye. Has she no interest in the practice of medicine—it is to her a matter of mere fun or frolick? I am a lover of the softer sex, and will repel the accusation. Her sense and reason teach her that the very questions I put, becomes daily more and more a matter of important interest to all. Mothers feel it, as they hang in tears over the bed of an fflic- ted son; father’s think of it as they press the cold kiss of the clammy lip, and say fare well for ever. Husbands think of it as the first clod rattles on the coffin lid of some an- gel wife torn by death from his embrace, and the young wife through her tears, thinks of it, as they trickle down her cheek and be- equally with them, of being regular Physician Our course of instruction is asthorough.

I like democracy in science, and in learning. It is the spirit of our govern ment, and we have no privileged classes. The son of the peasant is destined to no hopeless des- pondency. Equally for him with the proudest does the laurel grow, and lie stands on a level with the proudest, in the common channel of a common constitution. There are no fetters of caste on his limb. it requires no aristicra- tic lineage to garland his reputation.—Men tand on a common platform, for they are but men—no distinction-*—no glittering liveries of power—no Colonnas of Rome—no Mont- morence-—Hawards—no Bourbons—no |fools dressed up in the light of other men's achievement. No! nor professiounally have |we any distinction but such as the law guar- |antees, and under the Legislature of Georgia we stand on an equal elevation, and can smile |with haughty defiance at all attempts to arris- Itocratic one system of Medicine over another - in our liberal, noble, and enlightened state— Aristocracy would be no argument in favor of Allopathy. This has been attempted by a Profession : that has taught song and incantation, magic |and the stars for Medical science—that has given birth to more quackery and isms that ’any other Medical system in existence. The Byron who clasped the sword of song and with the letters for his soldiers, lead on by the vowels, crossed the literature of the world in triumph and marched in victory in to the balls of immortality—he would have fallen! What an appeal to reason and to justice, what a stern illustration of the ne cessity of republicanism in medicine! and we regard the time rife for the experiment. In this Republic, speech lives, thought moves, and human action is unfettered.— America should then have been the very land for the birth of a new discovery in Med- icine, as she was the birth place of a national reformation which set aside the old dogmas of authority and power. The principle was the same—we met the life and smile of the world at the experiment of self-government, which we sat up on these shores. It is re- garded foolish, absurd, and hopes were foun ded on the weakness of our Government, that we would soon be in anarchy, and call upon a King to save us. The discovery of new medical agents which in their therapeutic action disclosed the laws of life, acting in harmony with the teachings of physiology and chemistry, was smiled at, sneered at, and ridiculed, and tlie opinion expressed, that if we got sick our selves we would be in confusion, and call on of learning, hemmed in and walled in by the practice of Medicine in the hours of relax compass of human intellect-the other search - ation, has planted flowers by the waterso es these fields, gathers their knowledge and Helicon, sown pearls in the fields of literature information, but takes a stillwider range.

Thus not only Iin principle but in the remedial agents we employ, do we assert our independence and advance upon Allopathy.

We are pioneers of civilization in Medi- |cine, casting aside antiquated dogmas, and |emancipating the intellect from the fetters ! of authority. We lay down new painciples I defined by the operations of nature, and we |look upward to progression and not backward to blackend columns for hopeand inspiration. Every art and branch of human industry lias advanced, and ideas once regarded as the very perfection of wisdom have been ex- ' ploded by the increasing intelligence and civ ilization of man. The whole machinery of tlie word has Ibeen kept in motion, and every evolution roll- poetry, thus achieving the object I incu cate, and adding proof to the position that diploma in Medicine is not a divorce of th mind from the softer and more pleasing claim of literature.

The people doubt its safely, as a rem- is upward, the science of Modieinedroops be- Troops bi should be advanced by such treatment as will effect this purpose and not obstructed. For this reason poisons arc rejected by the Medical Reformer; for anything which by reason of its inherent qualities, is calcula ted to destroy life, will depress vitality, and he regards it contrary to the very first prin ciples of reason, to say the same agent that destroys life will protec and sit tain life. As well might it be argued fire will put out fire, or a house washed dovn by floods, the re turning waves will reconstruct. I was raised an Albpath. Like a man born where the custom if drinking whale oil is regarded a luxury. I regarded poisons as medical remedial agent. The reasons for tliis opinion I took upon authority, and when I began to look more definitely at the sub ject, it presented to my judgment difficulties my reason could no' conciliate. The very statement of the proposition laid down by Medical Reformers attracted my at- tension. It bore the plausibilities of truth upon its face, and every argument I could use against it became ridiculous even to my self I yielded the dogmas and became a Refor mer almost like a Christian, with judgment and reason convinced, but my prejudices still clinging to me. This hand I hold up, clasped the flag of Reform. I have marched under its genial shade ever since. I shall follow it to the grave, and with my colleagues around me, have it wave o’er the place I lie. Let me appeal to all who hear me, to look at this question for themselves, and apply their own judgments to it. That the major ity of the world believes in Allopathy, is no reason for a sensible man to bo an Allopath —for by the same argument you would turn heathens, for the world is very largely in fa vor of heathenism. with thick molasses and thus affording t youngster tlie employment of picking I feathers from one hand and the other, w. will keep him still until.
