 Inge7ihouz.{i52) The credit however of reduc- 

 ing to practice the trials of physicians, cannot be 

 refused to Dr. Meier, to whom we are under great 

 obligations. This method is mild and agreeable, 

 and at the same time seems calculated somewhat 

 to strengthen the system. 



This method ought not to be abandoned, and 

 I should prefer tlie use of the carbonate of magne-

 by Meier. 



The cold mineral waters charged with carbon- 

 ic acid gas,(153; and in want of these, the aerofo-

 as well suited to expel taeniae. (156) The remedy 



of Chabcrt consists in the distilled oil of turpeu-
