It is contrary to the dictates of common sense, to suppose that a Poison, either Mineral or Vegeta ble can be a medicine.— Prof. Wattsori. Mercury, in some instances, exliilr its all the phenomena of a poisonous action, productive of the most mis chievous, and sometimes, even fatal results.— Dr. Chapman. Among the numerous poisons which have been used for the cure of dis ease, ’ there is none possessing more dangerous power than Mercury. V [ Dr. Hamilton. Tlnfc morbid effects of Mercury, have been sundden anct fatal. It hasMeen known to lay dopliant in the for years, and the* display the most fatal results.—j9/\| Falconer. Mercury acts af; a poison on man, in whatever way it is introduced, ihto the body, whether it is swallowed, or inhaled, in the form of vapour, or applied to a wound, or even simply rubbed or placed, on the sound skin. i [LV. C/mstison. All the metalic preparations are un certain, as it depends entirely on the state of the stomach, whether they have no action at all, or operate with dangerous violence.— Coxe's Dispensa tory. The evils attending the use of Mer cury, are disturbed sleep, frightful dreams, impaired vision, aches and pains in various parts of the body, sudden failure of strength, as if just dying, violent palpitation of the heart, difficult breathing,,.with a shocking de pression of spirits, intolerable feelings, nervous agitations, tremors, palsy, in curable mania, mental derangement, ‘fatuity, suicide, deformity, bones of the face destroyed, and a most miserable death.— Dr. Hamilton. Mercury is a common cause of Liver Complaint. Many of the most aggra vated symptoms, of what has been call ed Bilious Fever, are brought on by the action of Mercury.— Dr. Chapman. The danger of administering Mer cury, Arsenic, Corrosive sublimate, Opium, White Vitro), Antimony, Nitre, Tartar Emetic, Iron, 'Digitalcs and Ilelock, is—Ist, They are hostile to life, and in direct opposition to all its Jaws and principles: 2d, the state of the stomach and habits of the body on which their action depends, cannot he Icnoipn in relation to the medicine — death or life, or chronic misery, may be the result.— Dr. Finley. It is jny opinion that Mercury lias made far more diseases, than the epi demics of our country.— Prof. Powell. After the hazardous process of sali vation, the disease may bo overcame by the powerful action of the Calomel, but then, in what condition does the Physician find the sufferer ? His teeth are loosened; his Joints are weakened; his healthy countenance impaired; his:voice more feeble; lie is more sus ceptible of a cold or damp atmosphere. His original complaint may be oyer cpme, but it is paying a great price for it. Secret history conceals from public innumerable victims of this sort. jSL.’. [Dr. Waterhouse. rfedpes not appear to Be generally known to tho people, that Mercury ac- tually produces Jaundice, 'nltliough u is a fact, that I have had three strikiiig two years Dr.-1 . * Moron rv i mimics a specific fever, dli ferent from all others, and a 1 tended with an increase of the various secre tions. - -A\ Canvichal. Mercury is apt to excite restlessness; j anxiety, general debility, and a very distressful, irritable state ol the whole system. — Dr. Bell. That grave men 'should violently persist in large doses of Calomel, and order these doses to be daily reiterated in chronic and debilitated eases, is passing strange. Men starting into the oxgi ciseof the Medical professions, fiont a cloistered study of Books, arid from abstract speculations! men wholly un aware of the fallibility of medical o\ i dcnce, and unversed in the doubtful effects of medicines, may be thenty selves deluded, and delude others foi a time; but tvlum experience has proved their errors, it would be mag nanimous, and yet no more than just, to remove both the opinion and the Practice.- Dr. Carlisle. It appears to me, that no accidents proper to the Disease can account for all those fatal conversions to the head, which of late years have, so frequently taken place in the Fevers of children; arid I have on some occasions been dis posed to attribute them to excessive and repeated doses of Calomel, which, either not moving the Bowels, as was expected, have given evidence of be ing absorbed; or, on the other hand, having purged too violently, and been, succeeded by dirrahcea without bile, and a prostration of strength, from which the little patient has never risen. Its less severe effects arc sometimes of no slight importance; a slow and im perfect recovery, a languid feverish habit, and a disposition to Scrofula. [Dr. Black all. I was called a few years ago to visit a child in this city (New York) to whom a Physician had administered Mercury; and another such a melan choly and horrible spectacle I never witnessed. Nearly all of one side of the face, eye, and neck, were mortified, black and destroyed by this mineral; and the wretched child was then dying from its effects.— Prof. Beach. Minerals are the most destructive to animal bodies that malice can invent, beyond gunpowder itself; for not only nature has provided none such, but as poisons in venomous creatures, to kill their enepv* 7 They become Iron, lancets, darting per- Jinto the solids of the body, so to toff,-fend, and destroy; and therefore can never be propor for food or Physic. Whereas galenical, or vegetable productions have none of these bad propensities, and are consequently, designed for both food and physic.— Dr. Cheyne. The principal mineral now used in ternally to “heal all the ills to which our flesh is heir,” is Mercury. It is called the Samson of the Materia Med ica, and so it appears to be; for if Samson slayed Iris thousands, this min eral Poison has slayed its tens of thous ands. It is a matter of profound as tonishment to me that any article, pro ductive of such deleterious effects, should be so highly extolled by the Faculty, and bq so universally used. It seems that modern not reformed Physicians are the genuine descendants of that celebrated Empyric, Paracel sus, wlio first discovered and made use of it.— Prof. Beach . When Mercury can be thrown into the constitution with propriety, by the external method, it is preferable to. the internal plan; because the skin is not nearly so essential to life as the stomach, and is therefore in itself capa ble of bearing much more than the stomach. The constitution is also less injured. Many couses of Mercury would kill the patient if the medicine (Poison) were only given internally, because it proves hurtful to the stomach and intestines, when given in any form, or joined with the greatest correctors.— Hooper's Med. Dictionary. [Tell it not in Gath ; publish it not in the streetsbf Askelon.] Mercury produces salivation, and this brings on Consumption and Liver complaint, and a whole train of other evils.— Dr. CutlcrbucL It swells the tongue, produces mortification, (Bige low) and brings on consumption ;■■ es pecially where there is a consumptive Diathesis.— Good. In Cholera Calo mel is the usual remedy; but woe to the Liver; death by cholera would be preferable to a miserable existence with such a Liver—tom to pieces by the united action of cholera arid Calo mel.—Dr. Hunn. A London Physician says, “ There is no measure to the effects of Mercu ry ; after giving it we oan only say, we,think we have cured the, disease; we don’t knpw that there may not /arise a second sot of symptoms a long while after.” Most Physicians toll their patients, that Calomel does not,enter the circu lutionpf the Blood, and Unit all that is it from the system, i- to Lila- ;i dose ol fealts. Jalap, or some other'mild purga tive. ’Wheneyeifyoq hear a Physician enforcing this idea upon his patients you may be assured .that he is either very ignorant, or practising deception. From sixty pounds of urine of pa tients labouring under Syphelis, and who Had been treated with Mercury, Dr. Ciiitgy } pbtaiucd more than twenty grains of Mercury. “Cavdanus took two ounces of Mer cury out. of the head ofa patient attend ed by himself.”— Dr. To.vc. Mercury enters into the blood, (Eberle) is found in the Bile, (Zeller) and even in the substance of the bones. —Laborde & Brodbelt. Fourcroy, Dmneril, Orfila, and Cru veilhier, all eminent Chemists' state that. Mercury insinuates itself into every part of the body, dissolving the various tissues, and disorganizing the blood. Dr. Bigelow states that a single Druggist in Boston, engaged in tho manufacture of the article, exported two tons of it in one season to New Orleans. Who wonders that the peo ple in the Southern States complain so much of rotten teeth, aching bones, and mercurial Rheumatism ? There is at this time in Houston county, Ga., two little girls who have each lost one half of their lower jaw bones, by Calomel. In Macon county there is another little girl in tho same condition ; and in Meriwether county, another. There is also a young lady in Morgan county whose face is much deformed by it; and in Newton coun ty there is a gentleman who has been in a state of constant salivation for the last fifteen years. And over this wide spread world, there are thousands upon thousands' of wretched human beings, lingering out a miserable existence, and all caused by Calomel. Substitute for Calomel , Blue Pills , cic. —Within the last few years, it has been discovered that a combination of Lep taudrin and Podophyllin, in the pro portion of two parts of the former to one of the latter, is a complete sub- : stitute for Calomel. It acts with as much certainty, ’power and efficiency, as Calomel, and is wholly destitute of all dangerous properties. It is purely vegetable, and leaves behind it none of those ruinous consequences which so often follow the use of Mercury.— It is now much used by almost every class of Physicians, and will likely, eventually, entirely, supercede that most potent and destructive agent,— Mercury. Physopathist. Eaton ton, June 26th, 1854. Men of Genius. —I have known several men in my life who maybe recognizee!‘rn days to come as men of genius, and they were all plodders— hard-working intent men. Genius is known by its works; genius without works is a blind faith, a dumb oracle. But meritorious works are the result of time and labor, and cannot be accom plished by intention or by a wish.— The immortal thoughts that seem as if they flowed spontaneously from she soul of Shakspeare, were neverthe less moulded in a die which doubtless required many years of unremitting attention to fashion it to his exquisite taste. Ili's intellect, by constant study, had at length been trained to that per fect discipline which enobles it to move with a grace, spirit, and liberty incom prehensible to those minds that have not passed through the same severe or deal. Every great work is the result of vast preparatory training. Facility comes by labor. Nothing seems easy, not even walking, that was not diffi cult at first. The orator, whose eye flashes instantaneous fire, and whose lips pour forth a flood of noble thoughts, startling by their unexpectedness, and elevating by their wisdom and their truth, has learned his secret by patient repetition, and after many bitter disap pointments.—Medical Circular's Ad dress to Students. Success in Life— The difference in men’s characters is very strongly marked. Some men arc weak and timid, really accomplishing nothing worth mentioning, in the whole course of their lives. Others yield to no diffi culty, and go straight ahead, prostrating whatever opposition lies in their path. A good deal of this is owing to early education. The child brought up in luxury, almost always realizes an im becile manhood. Plant an acorn in a flower-pot and rear it in a green-liousc and though it grow up in the form of an oak, it will be quite unlike that reared the snows and the storms of the mountain-top. Tn nine cases out of ten, the educa tion which a man gives himself, is the most important. One of the worst foes to the success of most men is the indulgence of a habit of indecision.— Nothing is more enfeebling or destruc tive of mental force. The man who never commits himself, who is always delaying, and who never make? up his mind, gives others the impression that he has little or no mind to make up.— The only remedy for this apparent want of capacity is promptness. * I know thii right, mid I approve it too, I know the wrong, ami yet the wrong pursue.' So sung the poet ; and the poet’s couplet is echoed in the lives and char acters of more than half of mankind. Happiness and misery seem strangely blended in the. world ; but the good or ill success of most men is mainly their own faulb Remember the remedy for inefficiency isf'prd>nptness and now is a good and fitting time to form resolu tions for the future. f4 t ySlmtg' * ' W e Confess,, to air intense horror-of Mtrig 'arid cant phrased, Tlic - use of this species,of hingriago appears to ipy in some sort,' a sinning against light. With the pure well of English unde filed at hand, and no water-rate to pay, it is mystery to us] why educated peo ple will insist upon paddling in the muddy pools of a perverted vocabulary, Time tvas when this vile .substitute for a language copious, expressive] 4 and fluent, was the especial property of the vulgar and uninstruefed: —those who uifher knew no better, or did not care to —but that day lias passed, arid we now hear phrases that, were nurtured in the.stables, domiciliated in the par lors. Even ladies receive and enter tain the filthy strangers, and we hear expressions fall from their delicate lips that were born in the obscene pur lieus of low night-cellars, and form the standard vocabularies of such as frequent there. With men, however, the practice of resorting to slang has grown into so great an evil as to leave room for scriou's doubt whether flic mother-tongue is not in danger of ac tual!/ becoming obsolete—forgotten, and those who fondly cling to it in conversation and composition, of being behind the age, and forced to call in an interpreter to aid them in their inter course with -others; Pierce Egan’s “Dictionary of Flash Terms,” a recon dite work, heretofore rarely seen, ex cept in the hands of prize-fighters and watch-stuffers, will soon replace Walk er and J ohnson, and be part of a ne cessary library. Webster, either from an innate taste for the idiom, or fore seeing a speedy change in that direc tion, has provided us with a considera ble number of slang and cant words, in his quarto contribution, to the injury of the language. Few. persons who con sent to use this language, are aware how the habit grows upon them, and many a one who would revolt at the idea of consorting with blackguards, does not hesitate at using.their conver sational jargon. No one now-a-days understands a subject; lie is “posted upno statement is untrue —it is “over the left.” We acquiesce in a proposition by remarking, “that’s so ;” arid add impressiveness to a relation of a fact by a term, “it’s nothing short er.” If I ask Jones whether Smith left for New York, lie replies, “ well he did,” and if I escape the affix “hoss,” I esteem myself fortunate. A person is not said to be rich—lie has “a pocket full of rocks;” if something be too dear for purchase, “it sizes his pile and un invitation to dance is prefixed by “go in lemons!” We might extend this list to almost any length, but it would only'be to perpetuate the evil, and we forbear. If men and women only comprehended the injury they arc doing themselves, and more especially their children, by this tampering with the vernacular, and neglect of its capa bilities, they would set a guard upon their tongues, and cease to speak the language of vulgarians. Let any per son take the trouble to notice, in the the course of a day’s business, how many conversations he has with his ordinary acquaintances that are not interlarded with these odious phrases, and we will venture to say that he will be surprised. There is no use deny* ing it—our people are becoming dread fully. slangy, and there is real danger of their forgetting their mother-tongue, arid finding in another generation or two, such a hopeless compound of jar gon in the place of it as would drive Johnson or Sheridan crazy. Let the newspapers take up the matter by set ing the example of leaving out such exquisite diminutives as “gents,” and “pant-',” and such terms of praise as u he is one eg'em. for “Captain Bobstay is a trump , a regular brick , and no,mis take," and we shall have some hope of a reformation. With our consent, no such barbarisms shall appear in our columns ; and we call upon all who hold the fathers of our language in rev erence to aid us in rebuking this insult to their memory. •Mysteries of the Ocean. A few days ago, a paper containing the results of various observations made in the coast survey, by A. D. Baclie, was read before the scientific Associa tion at Washington. Among other in teresting passages, was one relating to the shape of the floor or bottom of the ocean, showing that some extraordina ry depressions exist along our own coast. “For instance, on the seaward lino abreast of Charleston, from the shore to sixty miles out, the depth increases pretty gradually, till at that distance it has acquired a depth of oue hundred fathoms. But it soon deepens with great rapidity, as if on the side of a at about eighty miles out, the oceau bottom is more than six hundred and fifty fathoms from the surface. This* continues forward less than ten miles, when the depth as sud.- denly decreases to not more than three hundred and fifty fathoms, ■which so goes on only a few miles, when it again deepens to about five hundred fath oms, with subsequent fluctuations, — , There is therefore a submerged moun tain peak or ridge between the e points, of a truly remarkable charactsr. The differences in the temperature of the water vary almost precisely accord ing to the change of contour of the bottom, showing that the temperature at great depths is much modified by the propinquity of the ocean’s bed. It appears that the gulf stream, while certainly not superficial, does not run to the bottom, for off Cape Florida, at twelve hundred fathoms, the water in summer is of a temperature of 88 de grees Fahrenheit, a degree below the averave winter temperature much furth er north.” y A singular expedient was adopted a rfliort time ago in Crthidcn,' for catching a thief. The house having been enter ed several times, a 'battle of drugged brandy was placed where it could not fall to'be seen, and the ingenious plan resulted in the apprehension of a col ored man, who had partaken of* the brandy, and was. found asleep in the room." mefnl A'actef- ; - .:*} ■ Varieties of Milk —‘As- fia,r; -as • we know rio nation use,*? the 'imlk'W | any covni vordiil pninuil. There is no reason for believing tbattheinilk of this order of animals would be either dis - agreeable or unwholesome ; but the ferocity and restlessness of the crea tures will always pri&ent an obstacle to the experiment. The different ndlks of those animals with which wc are ! acquainted agree in their chemical i qualities, and is eon firmed,by the fact, ! 4Wr w J 7 that other animals besides man be nourished in infancy by the milk of very distinct species. Kate and lever cts have been suckled by cats, fawns by ewes, foals by goals, and man, in all stages of his existence, has been nourished by the milk of various an finals, except the carnivorous. The milk of the mare is inferior in oily mat ter to that of the cow, but it is said to contain more sugar, and other salts. The milk of the owe is as rich as that of the cow, in oil, but contains less sugar than that of other animals. — Cheese made of ewe milk is still made in England and Scotland, but it is gradually being disused. The milk of the ass approaches that of human milk in several of its qualities. To this re semblance it owes it use to invalids in pulmonary complaints, but it has no particular virtue to recommend its preference, and is only prescribed by nurses. ; Goal’s milk perhaps stands next to that of the cow in its qualities; it is much used in Southern Europe.— It affords excellent cheese and butter, its cream being rich, and more copious than that from cows. Camel’s milk is employed in China, Africa, and, in short, in all those countries Avtierc the animal flourishes. It is, however, poor in every respect, but still, being milk, it is invaluable where butter is not to be procured. The milk of the sow resembles that of the cow, and is used at Canton and other parts of China. The milk of the buffalo is also like that of the cow, though the two animals belong to different species.— Every preparation of milk, and every separate ingredient of it, is wholesome; milk, cream, butter, cheese, fresh cruls, whey, skimmed milk, butter-milk, &c. Butte.i-milk and whey will undergo a spontaneous vinous fermentation, if kept long enough, and alcohol can be distilled from them. The Tartars, it is well known, prepare large quanti ties of spirituous drink from maro’s milk.— Lciint/'s Notes of a Traveller. .1 *etvspaper If Vll ing'. Though everybody affects secrecy, it is a secret known to all the town, that almost every competent man in political life has now and then used the newspaper press, the most power ful engine there is, for acting upon opinion. An acquaintance of ours, calling on one of the bishops, had to wait beside him until he finished a leader for a daily paper. Several po litical chiefs affect little secrecy respect ing the fact of their contributing to newspapers, though they of course do not wish to be identified with all tlieii contributions. ‘‘You may think it very easy to write an article for a news per,” said a Cabinent Minister at a pub lic dinner recently, “but try it.” In truth, to write a good leader on an oc currence of the hour, acute and ready in its arguments, and humorous or forcible in its illustrations, with the brief statements of facts, and the skil ful management of personalities which it demands in reference both to the newspaper and its party, is one of the most difficult of all kinds of composi tion. Quarreling.— ls any thing in the world will make a man feel badly, ex cept pinching his lingers in the crack of a door, it is unquestionably a quar rel. No man ever fails to think less of liimself after, than he did before ; it degrades him in the eyes of others, and, what is worse, blunts his sensibil ities on the one hand, and increases the power and passionate irritability on the other. The truth is, the more peacea bly and quietly we get on the better for our neighbors in nine cases out of ten; the better course is if a man cheat you to quit dealing with him; if he is abusive quit his company ; if he slanders you: take care to live so that nobody will believe him. No matter who he is, or how he misuses you, the wisest way is to let him alone; for there is nothing better than that cool, calm, and quiet way of dealing with the wrong we meet with. lIEfKY Clay to Little Children. —The Richmond Penny Post contains the following letter written by Mr. Clay to the children of a gentleman of that city.
