in the application of this salutary exercise to the state of the sick. 
This chasm has remained unfilled, we say, because, to the pre- 
sent moment, many practitioners have not prescribed this exer- 
cise so much as they otherwise would have done, from the fear 
of increasing the malady and danger of their patients, by sending 
them into close and ill-ventilated riding-schools, or where the 
persons charged with the superintendence of the school, not com- 
prehending the normal condition of those who are intrusted to 
their care, render that, which ought to have been salutary to the 
individual, annoying to him, or injurious to his health, or, at least, 
preventing the perfect re-establishment of his health. 
At the present day, when the healing art is carried to its very 
apogee, an establishment is much wanted which will offer these 
advantages. The riding-school for the recovery and establish- 
ment of health which Dr. Fitz-Patrick has added to his Maison de 
Sante, at No. 70, Rue de Chaillot, promises all the advantages 
which we have mentioned, without any of the inconveniences ; 
for the physician himself will preside over the whole of the horse- 
exercise of those who may confide themselves to his care and 
experience in this new method of healing disease. 
This establishment also offers to amateurs the means of exer- 
cising their horses in every way, the hippodrome being disposed 
for trotting-matches, or pony-races, or leaps at the barriers or the 
ditch. 
Stabling for thirty horses permits him to receive at livery the 
horses of those who wish to send them there, and where they 
may be daily exercised in the school, either by the owner or by 
proper attendants ; and they will also find there the greatest faci- 
lities for the sale or exchange of horses.

count of its situation, but the extent of its gardens and the pu- 
rity of its air, and more especially from the personal care exer- 
cised by the superintendent, and the peculiar management 
adopted in that establishment — a means of treating and of cur- 
ing chronic affections and diseases, and completely establishing 
the health of the convalescents, by means of horse-exercise, sci-
