Jh(? reporter's mind, a prsctical truth not duly 

 recognized ; and even pusl mortem appear- 

 Bnces sometimes shew rather the effect t!ma 

 the source of the eiiceiihalic dertingeriieut. 

 Biood-letliug in disorders of the head, is 

 often imperiou-:ly c:illed for, but it is often 

 likewise employed with the most vague 

 notions respecting its necessity. 



Those infantile aif'ection:-, which at once 

 implicate the lungs, the head, and the first 

 passages, renuire assiduous watching, and, 

 whilst it is of the utmost moment at limes to 

 unload the blood-vessels, and to act power- 

 fully upon the intestinal canal, muoli circum- 

 -speciion is requisite tiiat neitiier bleeding 

 nor purging, but especially the former, be 

 carried beyond a certain point, lest we 

 induce an irrecoverable condition of both 



(epical and general doliillty, and thus bring 

 on the very effusion and disorganization, 

 which it is the object of practice to obviate. 



Among the Dispensary patients, several 

 instances have recently occurred of sympa- 

 thetic complaints from worms, siinulaiing 

 to a very considerable extent idiopailiic and 

 organic mischief. Kqual parts of castor oil, 

 and oil of turpentine,six fiiiid draehii)s of each 

 for an adult, will often in these cases, by 

 acting briskly on the first passages, proie 

 positively remedial where from the severity 

 and protraction of symptoms, apprehensions 

 had been entertained of the existence of 

 irremediable disorder.

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



t I'IHE winter season, now nearly passed, 

 JL has proved most propitious in ail re- 

 spects, to the cultivation of the soil, and 

 comfortable and healthful to live stock. The 

 operations of husbandry throughout the last 

 and present month, ploughing, harrowing, 

 rolling wheats, preparing the barley fallows, 

 and bean setting, have proceeded almost un- 

 interruptedly. The wheats and vi'inter crops 

 in general cover the ground sufTicienily, and 

 have a most promising appearance — yet, 

 strange to say, all this apparent prosperity 

 from the bounty of nature, must be viewed 

 with a heavy heart by the farmer, who is 

 destined to produce it at his own loss ! The 

 turnip crop has succeeded in most parts, be- 

 yond expectation, and in many, was more 

 abundant and clieap in the latter than the 

 early season. In short, the country is full of 

 all kinds of product for the support and lux- 

 ury of man, and even full of money, or its 

 valid representative, for every species of 

 useful projection ; yet poverty and distress 

 stalk abroad, in every part of Britain! and 

 although mountains piled on mountains of 

 paper have been blurred, or rather elegantly 

 and tastefully blackened, and more human 

 breath expended than all the gas vessels in 

 Europe could contain, the mystery of opulent 

 poverty hath not been developed; for 

 which there are assignable reasons. From 



certain monster-breeding brains, northern or 

 southern, we listen with admiration to bints 

 on the entire abolition of a public provision 

 for the poor, and to reproaches for bestowing 

 alms on labourers able to help themselves — 

 as though ability and even will to labour, 

 necessarily implied occasion of employment. 

 Of one kind, most truly, it does, of which 

 the gallows affords the reward. In the Bed- 

 fordshire Report for January, always an 

 able one, there are excellent hints tor the 

 employ of extra labourers in improving the 

 road?, and also cautious that they really do 

 their duty, and that the parish money be not 

 idly wasted. 



The wool market is dull, perhaps lower. 

 Store cattle reasonable, and the fat meat 

 market steady. The old story still current 

 — good horses dear, ordinary ones cheap; 

 p?rhaps horses generally are cheaper.
