gratifications. Ilis country one wild, bleak, icy prison ; yet still it is preferred- 

 nay, loved — before the South, with all its downy comforts, because her hardy 

 son calls it the land of his birth and of liberty — in a word, Home. In this region 

 the animal kingdom most appropriately affords a diet, at once nutritive, concen- 

 trated, and stimulating, to meet those wants which vegetable food could not ade- 

 quately supply." 



Physicians will probably tell us, after all, that a small admixture of animal 

 with vegetable food is, in general, most wholesome ; but it may be doubted 

 whether a diminution of meat diet, throughout the country, to the average of 

 that consumed by that class, whichever it may be, which consumes the least, 

 would not lead to an average increment of health. What say you, Dr. Gibbes ? 

 U^r" Please excuse us, being pressed for time, for asking here, respectfully, for 

 that paper you half promised on the diseases peculiar to the South and West. — 

 Are not such questions intimately connected with the interests of Agriculture — 

 at least, when that interest is viewed in the light that we understand and pro- 

 pose to discuss it ? For a man thinking, as too many ever are, of swelling the 

 current that flows, and flows, and will, it seems, for ever flow, from the old Atlan- 

 tic to the South and West, what more interesting subject of inquiry than the diet, 

 climate, and diseases connected therewith, and with any particular race or de- 

 scription of population ?
