* fubject to variations from caufes in which 
reafon had no part. If (fays he) Iam 
accidentally left alone for a few hours, 
my inveterate perfuation rufhes upon my 
foul, and my thoughts are chained down 
by fome irrefiltible violence; but are foon 
difentangled by the prince’s converfation, 
and inftantanéoufly releafed at the en- 
trance of Peknah, Iam like a man ha- 
bitually afraid of fpeétres, who is fet at 
eale by a lamp, and wonders at the dread 
which harafled him in the dark.” 
Occupation is neceffary, but ought to 
be adapted to the peculiar character of 
the individual. Upon this principle, 
the writer prefcribed to one whom he 
regarded as fpecifically qualified for the 
taik, the compofing a work of imagination, 
which advice has actually been of effential 
-Yervice to his patient, by the confequent 
recovery of his health and fpirits, and he 
flatters himfelf that the public will alfo 
feel indebted for his prefcription. 
The Reporter has difcuffed fo fre- 
quently, and to fo difproportionate an ex- 
tent, the fubject of nervous and confump- 
tive affections, on account of the foil of 
Britain being mott fertile im their produc- 
tion and the principle nurfery of their 
growth. i 
Mania and confumptiun are the two 
evil angels ever hovering over the inhabi- 
tants of our ifland. . 
The writer of this article has been par- 
ticularly induitrious and critical. in atcer- 
taining the confiitutional features, and in 
endeavouring to imprefs the importance

of counteracting a tendency to thefe dif- 
eafes. When either of them be fully 
formed, and by habit eftablifthed, nothing 
can be of any avail. 
- To preach to a madman is not more 
abfurd than to prefcribe tor a patient in 
the laft ftlage of a confumption.. There 
is no unguent that you/can apply, or oil 
that you can pour, in order to heal an in- 
tellect difordered, or a maimed and mu- 
tilated lung. In the former cafe, you 
might as well by the {pell of a profetflional 
recipe, attempt to break aiunder the 
chains that bind the body of a maniac to 
his floor, as the {trong concatenation of 
thought that 1s {till more clofely riverted 
round his mind. 
In the latter cafe likewife, of an imper- 
fect and fhattered:vifcus, the endeavour 
will be equally idle and abfurd. The in- 
ternal machinery of the living frame, as 
it was not made, fo neither, when broken, 
canit be mended by. man. . 
Apprehention generally comes too late, 
A calamity feafonably feared, may, in 
moft inftances, be avoided; but, until 
death has become certain, the chance of 
_its occurrence 1s rarely even fufpected. 
If any.time, however fhort, before the 
erlod of deceafe a phyfician be fent for, 
nis friends confole themfelves, and com- 
pofe their con{ciences, with the idea“ that 
every thing has been done.” ©
