From the Augusta Chronicle ADULTERATED MEDICINES. Senator Dix has presented a memorial from $urgeons of the Army and Navy of the U. S., asking Congress to adopt some measures to prevent the importation of adulteraied diugs and medicine, by which unprincipled foreign manufactures, aided and abetted by dealers of a kindred stamp, in this country. produce spurious drugs, and inflict on the whole community all the injuries and perils incident to the prescription of impure and unknown medi eines. It is a 'dillicult subject to legislate upon so as to detect and punish the guilty. and not seriously impair the juit and proper freedom of .rado. Nevertheless, the evil is one of such magnitude, and the tempta tion to fraud so strong ard universal, that something surely should be done to pro tect the tncdical profession fimmn constant imposition, and the puhli- from the loss ol life which accrues from taking vilo com pounds of vegetable and miueral poisons, unknown to all. save the men who prepare them for market. Few are aware to what extent our stan dard drugs and medicines are adulterated. No one but a most skilful analyst with a complete chemical appalratus, can deter mine the precise parity of calomel, emtiee tarter. inorpnine. quinine anl oiher very common meolicinal agents. Ordinary phy sicians, however weul read in their profos sion, must ever lack the mcans. as well as the time to make these very abstrnce. and often complex researcles. Is there on way to prevent, or at least mitigate this gre'at and growing evil ? We have mints with public agents to see that otir gold, silver and cnpper coin contain a due portion of ' pure metal, and our purses be protected froti iiposition. Are the lives o'r all the sick, (and all are liable to sicknesi) o fless public concern ment than the circulating tiedilit of the country? No one doubts the propriety of regulating the manufacturer of mnney by law. Cannot le.-islation do some thin; in the way of prepariig what may be regar ded as standard drugs and .medicines. so as to have them uniormn in purity and strength? The purchase and uAe of these need not be conpuhory. NItde utler the eye of public o ficers. with ni motive to commit fraud, but surroundedl with the strongest incentives to detect and expose it, medicines bearing their seal would go at once into general use. Nearly all the medicines consumed in the Utited States are now manufactured and put up i3 Europe. Ii is a matter of comparatively little moment. how cheap these things arc sold to ts. The simple fact that~ we do not know, and cannot learn their nature and properties, owing to the ficilities with which they may be adulteraied in.a thousand ways and forms, clearly indicates the necessity of preparing - our. own Medicines under such salutary regulaiions and, restraints. tas shall 'place chetticny pure rensedies within the reach kitevert citizen.

The powerful action of chloroform upon the nervous system cannot take place without a correspondmtg r eaction. Nature is not to be cheated. And whlen such great differences exist as to the neavouis organizationls of diflerett persons it may very .natturally follow that to some constitutions chlorofqrmi may be fatal while others will re~act without danger. All such considera. tions howvever tend to illustraicte d importance of prudence and caution in the use of this arrdcle-Tho [Dostorn Medical. and Surgical Journal says: "To guard against the. abuses of the new remnediasl agent is of very great . importance, not merely to prevent its injurious and demora.lizinag purposes, bt that its utility may be pi'rimam-ntly es tablishsd by mrational and enbuahtened exporence. Much is yet to be lemuned as to the modes of its pieparations atnd preservation, so that it may be of iuni form strength; wvhirh is known not to be the case with that procured front 'difehrent venders, and hence the va, rination in the resubts zeported in difhuren experiments. So also? the best miode, atnd safest proportions,- for its admin istration, cannot be said yet to be ascer tained. Nor,. indeed, can sve yet d.e cide how. far it is rehanblu,wi'h ouit a stil greater number of trials, in many of the' emergencies in which its adoption is theoretically inferred. Especially does it remain to lbe established how f'ar it is judiciotus and appr opt iate to employ the inhalation of chloroform, with the view of suspen'fdinog consciotus suffering (luring matcrnal travail. "Thtts far, experience and authority * will fully justify a resort to this agency in the various for,ns of preternatural. complicated or instmumenita labor. In deed, on thieoccurreince ofany pathtolog. ical condition during labor, which in volves extrome suffering or hazard to the mother,u failure to avail ourselves and patients of this newv resource would be - iexcusable; bun its innocence and safety should. be mote fully cotnfirmed-by the testimony of experience before it would be discreet to employ it indiscriminately in natural labor, when the mother is in healti.' That it may be used by mer cenary members of our professionm, is one of the, dangers. attendant upon the publicity whichu chloroform and its effects bave received. Let tus beware lest this blessing be turned into a curse, and this use and its abuse. If this can be etfec ially done, the chloroform promises to be a precious b-on of science to suffering humanity. A Curious Society.-In the. course of debate, in the Lagislature of Nejw York, a few days ago, on application for special grants of power in holding the property made by the Shakers of Niske% una, in that State, the following rules, or orders, existing-in that society, became public :-"Contrary to order to inquire into any bargain that the deacons have nade;- contrary to order to go to church with sins unconfessnd; contrary to order to go out among the world, or among families, without permission of the el ders; contrary- to order to shake hands with a world's woman, without confes sing it ; contrary to order to shake hands witlithe wor Id unless they first tender the hand ; contrary to order to play with dogs or cuts ; contrary to order for a brother and sister to ride together with out company ; contiary to order for a brother and siter to pass each other on the stairs ; contrary to order for a person to go out of the yard after evening meet in; contrary to order to have rizht and left shoes ; contrary to order to pare the heels of shoes under; contrary to ordet to read newspapers in dwelling houses, at any time, unless indulgence for that purpose is granted by the elders; con trary to order to fold. the left thumb over the right, in prayer, or when standing up in worship; contrary to oider to kneel I with the left .knee first; contrary to order to put the lelt boot or shoe on first ; contrary to order to kneel-with handkerchief in hand; contrary to order f to put the- left foot on the stais first, when ascending." a A Droll Definition of a Yankee. As die Y.mnkees are creating no little excitment in the Commercial, Political and 3ilitary woild, I hope my defini tion of 'a real genuine male Yankec may not ba considered a-miss : A real genuine Yankt'e is full of ani- a matian, checked by moderation, guided by deermin ation, and supported by edu- S cition. He has veneration coriected by toleration, with a love of self-approba tion and emiulation ; and when reduced to a state of aggtavation can assume the most profound dissimulation for the pur. pose of retaliation, always combined, if -i possible, with speculation. A real live J Yankee,just caught, will be found not deficient mn she following qualities : He k is self~denying, self- relyiung, always try ing, and into every thing prying. He is a luver of piety, propribty, notoriety and the intenperance society. He is a drag- i ging, bragging, -gagging, striving, thri- y ,-vame 0* property tn tGreat Britain is" cstimat.ed at $25,000,000.000, and the annual value of the product at $2,500l, b 000,000- Thte total value of the pro- b perty in the United State-s of A merica does not exceed $6,000,000,000, ahad the total aannual value of our inoducts is estim'a ted at tabout $l,200,000,000. If the proaperty of Great Britain were oqually dlivided tamong the population Ii it would give nearly $2000 to every family of fie piersons; and if the annual ~ incoma~ were thus divide'd, each family J wvould have $200. The samie division d, itn the United States would give each Hi famtily $1.200 o~f proper ty, and for an am annual share of the products $300. Sucicssion of Presidents-T he fr WVashaingtn Union of Saturday 'say's.--_ Tne Con,titmioin htas been irr operation fronm tlhe 3d of marcha, 1789,. being ape riod of 59 years; in the course of which - we have had eleven Presidents. Of these eight h iave sunk into the tomb; tand only one of themi leaves a son be hinid him. The last three Pa esident survive, viz: Mr. Van Burn, Mr. Tyler, and the acting President, Mr. Polk. I These fall up a period of :a eleven years, J commencing wvith Ma. Van Burn, who ascended the chair ott the 4th of M~arch, d 1837- fr Thelare have been eleven Vice Pr-esi- S dents, of whonm five are still living. Evet.rythiing, in fact, proves the mutibil ity of human affairs. Buit wvhile our dlistinguiished citizens leave us with such rtapidiy-proving "what shadows we4 aire, and whlat shadows wve ptursue"-we ,t' should efl~nr~up our vows to Prnvidence, and pray that thre republic itself may c live forever.
