NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 288. 



But to account for the usual form mire, there was 

 no need of a new coinage of unrecorded and un- 

 couth derivatives from medicus (sought out by the 

 ingenuity of Friedrich Diez) ; since mire for mere 

 is an exact counterpart of the common and gram- 

 matical form, lire for Here. 



It may not be quite to the purpose, now that 

 ihe subject is pretty well exhausted, to add an 

 imecdote of the water-cure, just picked up in an 

 author who was smothered by a fall of ashes in his 

 pleasure-boat, near Pompeii, 1776 years ago : 



"On a sudden," thus writes Pliiiy the naturalist, 

 " Charmis of Marseillea invaded Rome ; and he not onlj' 

 arraigned her former physicians, but her baths also, per- 

 suading people to wash during the sharpest frosts of 

 winter. He dipped his patients in the lakes. We have 

 Been superannuated consuls making a show of their 

 phiverings. There is no doubt that, by this novelty of 

 tiieirs, the physicians wished to bamboozle us all."

MONUMENTAL BRASSES. 



(^Continued from Vol. xi., p. 221.) 



When I sent my last communication on this 

 subject, it is but right that I should say that I 

 had not seen the third Note by Mr. F. S. Growse
