conducted  straight  forward  to  such  effective  and  appropriate
scientific  medication,  as  will  soon  shorten  the  long  roll  of
diseases,  for  the  unsuccessful  management  of  which,  physi-
cians have  been  so  tauntingly  stigmatized,  by  the  reproachful
appellative  above  mentioned : — for,  there  are  but  few  diseases,
that  from  their  very  nature,  can  be  philosophically  admitted,
to  be  positively  incurable: — some  of  these  we  have  mention-
ed, and  assigned  appropriate  reasons,  for  their  incurability, —
and  the  scientific  appreciation  of  this  philosophy,  will  readily
indicate  the  reasons,  of  incurability,  for  all  such  as  we  have
not  mentioned.
Therefore,  intelligent,  experienced,  and  judicious  medical
philosophers,  through  appropriate  estimation  of  the  self-
evident  principles  developed  by  our  philosophy,  will,  forth-
with, institute  with  scientific  precision,  all  the  remediate
measures  most  effectively  adapted  to  eliminate  all  patholo-
gical phenomena  from  the  organization,  which  have  not  po-
sitively depressed  and  congested  its  nervous  energies  to  the
extent  of  irrecuperation,  both  by  the  conservative  powers
and  appropriate  medication.
We  have  thus  presented  to  the  consideration  of  medical
philosophers,  the  outlines  of  such  philosophy  of  medicine,
as  are  irresistibly  demanded  for  recognition  by  nature,reason,
religion,  and  common  sense; — all  demonstrably  proclaiming
man  to  be  the  connecting  link  between  the  celestial  and  ter-
restrial creations,  and  that  he  is  so  made,  exclusively  through
the  instrumentality  of  his  nervous  organization,  which  con-
nects him  with  his  Creator — and  time  with  eternity.
We  have  reached  this  philosophy,  through  such  inductive
process  of  reasoning,  as  can  neither  be  rejected  nor  derided.
