The extreme intensity of the recent 
heat, has of course produced a general 
disposition toward disedise, and in a great 
number of instances its actual farmation. 
Febrile complaints have been the most 
prevalent. In a greater or minor de- 
gree, there ave few persons that from the 
beginning of their lives have been free 
from affections of this character. With 
many, existence from its first commence- 
ment is a protracted fever. Where 
the blood in its cireuit through the sys- 
tem, although it flow in its ordinary 
channel, preserves not the usnal and 
healthy pace of nature; where the wte- 
ries coniract and relax either with a ca- 
pricious irregularity, or akind of ivascible 
rapidity; where the temperature et the 
body, although not vulgarly regarded as 
morbid, stands in fact above or below 
the wholesome point of the thermometer ; 
and in alliance with these indications of 
distemper, there isgenerally observed an 
imperfect capacity for, or anindispesition 
toward, mental or corporeal exertion: this

the being out of sorts without being deci- 
dedly ill, this tatermediate and equivocal 
anomalous or anonymous state, which 
involves all the disasters laying claim to 
the denomination of disease, is asubject 
of particular compassion and of profes- 
sional care. Few require so much deli- 
cacy of attention as those who receive 
none from an idea of their not needing 
any. What are deemed nervous com- 
plaints, ere in fact not only the most 
real, but the most deeply rooted in the 
constitution. Nothing can be more un- 
philosophical or inhuman, than an at- 
tempr to ridicule a patient out of any mo- 
dification of hypochondriasis, It would 
not be more absurd to think of dissipa- 
ting a dropsy of the abdamen, than 
a distemper of the imind, by sar- 
éasm or levity. Hypochondriasis, of 
all complaints, is particularly deserving 
of a philanthropic tenderness. The 
nerves aré the chords of feeling, and 
should not be touched with-a mde or 
boisterous hand. Wine, of all things, 
oucht to be avoided by the nervous.. The 
strongest liquors are the most weakening: 
in proportion to the strength which the 
draught possesses, is that which it de- 
duets from the :person who drinks it. A 
suddeu blaze-is inevitably succeeded by 
chronic darkness.
