Sunday Sickness.
I suspect that there is twice as much
sicknessin the Uni'ed Srates on the Sabbath,
as on any other day of the week; and I am
quite sure there is about as much medicine
taken on that day, as on all the rest.?
These alarming facts, if they are facts, deserve
the immediate and eainest investigu.
tion of the whole medical faculty. It can
not be owing to climate, to~miasrna, or iu
any sud-ien changes of temperature, be^
cause these nro liable to aSeet the health
just as much, one day as another. Much
less can we ascribe it to any special divine
visitation, to disable people from attending
public worship on the Sabbath, when they
aro able to be out and attending to'their
secular busmess from Monday morning
till Saturday night. This would be a re.
flection npon the groat Lord of the Sabbath,
. as if he had given men one day in seven
for religous duties and privileges, and then
deprived them of its advantages, by shutting
hem up to be bled and take emetics.
As the sickness of which I am speaking,
prevails all over the country, so it affects
all classes, though not in the same degree.
The industrious hard laboring classes, are
more apt to be down on the Sabbath, than
the rich and fashionable. The latter can.
sot, or will not afford it, as many of them
want the day for riding sailing and visiting
their friends^ The laboring people in the
cities, are not liable to these, periodical at.
tacks as -in the country; -and the reasdn
aoems to be the same; they want the Sah,
bath for relaxation, with which the operation
of active medicine would seriousjy interfere.
It is moreover a circumstance
worth noticing, that professors of religion,
as a class, are less liable to Sunday sickhess
than any other class; I am not-aware that
they have hotter constitutions; but to* the
? ??? tfinn in thff house n{ God
mOSl p'lll aiu uwvu >u v.-- ...r.- ,f. _
^ on thi. Lord's day, if they are able to be |
abroad, attending to their business on other
days. Nevertheless, there .a?e- quite too
many anomalous cases even in the churclr.
I think I have known soma pbrsona of considerable
pretensr n"s to piety, who bv. living
in the midst of the Sunday fever contagion,
or from some other cause, have complained
of being poorly, and excused themselves
from attending public^ worship, when the
prospect of some little wdtkflycgain would
have worked like a charm, to throw off the
symptoms, on any other day of the week.
Although hanking no pretensions Jo the
healing dirt myself,- and therefore' tmable to
afford the Faculty much, if any aid', in theft
diagnostic investigations, it/nifty be expected
of me, that 1 should* bet Irttje more particular
in showing - how the sickness now
under consideration, generally-corner onj
and how it is most .commonly\jelie.v5d; I'
tay relieved not aired, for it is exceedingly
apt to break out again in a 'few ^Sabbaths
after it seems to be entirely expejlod-- from
the system. Tfies^ then - ftp? the "usual
symptoms. A J it rip more-work is* under-s.
taken on the ferm or fn the shop thau can
conveniently be performed. As a matter
of course extra efforts are necessary,. Nature,
by the middle of the week, begin* to
r.imnlain. that she-is rifet fairly doaK by,
and to coll for relaxation* If her yqfae is
not heeded, she raises it louder. - The man.,
confesses that he does not feel \VeMk /and
that he needs rest and medicine. . But* he
cannot afford -lb jje by on a* week day.-rThe
Sabbath is approaching, and then he
will be at leisure and will attend to himself
So he drags through the Sveek as best he
can; and at the close of it, or on Sabbath
morning, sends .off for.a good portion of
Glauber, of Epsom* or Ip'pecaq. more'
generally, perhaps especially ip-baying and
harvest, the medicine is sent fbr^br on Sab*
bath morning, ' as sickness, every body
knows, must be attended to; and it gives the
neighbors a chance to inquire, What's the
matter/ How long has your fathen been
unwell/ Has he sent for. t!\s doctor, &c.^'
The Sunday invalid in these cases, gets
op late. You would hardly know him to I
be the same man whom you saw day before I
in the field. Hecompldius of weakness in
tha joints, nausea, dizziness and (he like;
calk for his tumbler of suits, and ciustof
bread; looks at the portion most ruefully
but it is of no use to stand dreading it. So
he shuts his eyes and hardens his heart, and,
drinks it off at a swallow.
Or if it is an emetic, he prepares foe it
right manfully. He could not get time tg
take it any sooner, and it will not, he thinks,
do to put it off any longer, especially as hcN
must resume his labors again on Monday
morning." Musi resume them, not because
he is too poor to spare a day for 4,doctorirrg"
but because he can save it by being sick on
the Sabbath. And when others are in the
house of God, and he is on his bed, with
his bosom heaving like that of a fresh water
sailor, he blesses himself that he does not
stay away from church without .the least
reason in the world; and perchance wonders
that any who are well, can saunter
about the fields, when they ought,to "be in
the house of prayer. If a man is sick on
the Sabbath, ho is sick, and that is enough,
however he came so. This is his logic.?
Sometimes lire Sunday sickness comes on
suddenly, in the morning u litile cloud ari.
s. It may rain. And what if it should.7
Woukl the prospect of getting a liitle wet,
prevent the individual from going out on
any other day/ Is he afraid of lightning!
O uo unless it be Sabbalk day lightning.?
But now, all at once, he finds out, that he is
not verv well. He is afraid he shnll take
cold and so he stops at home. In your opioion
the excuse is not valid, and you try
to convince him of it; but there is something
which he calls conscience, that he says
justifies him. **Mercyhe argues, "is better
than sacrifice," and every one is bound to
take care of his health.
Now Messrs. Editors, can you tell me
what is the best way of treating these seventh
day sicknesses and of preventing thern from
spreading? Ifyoucon, I hope you will in.
form the public at once. It is really a very
serious matter. Thousands are suffering
from them who ought to be cured, if possible.
If these diseases are permitted to run
on. they will become chronic, and of
course more and more obstinate. It may
be more desirable to die on the Lord's day,
than any other; I think it is, for those who
are prepared; but to be kept away from the
sanctuary, by any of the Sunday intermittents,
is a very different affair. Certainly,
it is no way to prepare lor that "rest, which
remaineth for the people of God."
One thing moro-and I have done.?
These hebdominal visitation are extremely
troublesome to a conscientous physician,and
afford others more plausablo excuses than
they can be safely trusted with, for absenting
themselves from public worship. In
some places, the doctor is sure of having
somethi g to do on the Sabbath, however,
it may boon other days. Just as he is
getting ready to go with his family to church,
somebody calls with his arm in a sling, or
with an invalid wife, or child and detains
him. Or a messenger rides foaming up
fronr the outskirts, or a neigboring town
and nothing will do but he must go and vis.
it M. such a one.
How long has he been sick?" "He has
been drooping all the week." Why did
not you send before?" "We hoped he
would get along without doctoring."
"Why then could you not wait one day
longer?" "VVe are afraid he will get worse."
? - - " * -I
And so (he Sabbath is DroKen up, unless
the physician Jias the independence which
is sometimes the case, either to decline en.
tirely, or to put off the visit till after the pub.
li? services. V '
"Not-, tin frequently it- is even worse than
this. .It is a matter %f calculation, on the
part of. Joo many, to send for the physician
on the Sabbath in preference to any
other .day, ..when theic friends have long
buen had health, and there is no more
urgency than there was for days or weeks
before. It is done to save time. On week
dqystbdy are otherwise engaged, and all
they can save in this way, is counted nssc
; mnch.clear gain. Thus ard thousands, oi
1 physicians virtually deprived of their Sab.
baths, by thesdtime and money saving, but
soul destroying calcul uions. And peoplt
expect tlie blessing of God Just as much
upon the prescriptions of the doctor or to
get well Vitliout thqt blessing just as soon "as
rCtbey Vkepi his Sabbaths and reverenced
Ids-sanctuary." Rut they have no right to
insist upon the attendance of physicians, tc
the neglect of these institutions, in enses
which might be just as well attended to a lit.
tie earlier, or a little later. - -1

at a late Temperahcevmceting, in Rumford
\in that State.

. vjcttons and resolves of our own minds, in
rhi? ^ well as oifier important enterprises ;
antf^e think it does not fail far .short of a
forcible illustration. 1-1 .
A few years since, a fctfo from there,
giou of the Kennebec, with an interesting
wife, two lovely daughters and n promising
son, moved 'doWn east,* purchased -a piece
of wild land, selected a spot, erected a log
-Cabin, with a stone chimney and a wooden
mqinileLtree, and was soon, in a goo I way
~lo' live, surrounded by every thing peccssa"rv
fb ftiukphim comfortable and happy*?
He hhd lived there several years, whei
the first movements were made in the ten.
-Durance cause, llo would have folki
jtnqw that a Kennebcket could take cart
of himself? He wopld sign no pledge.?
Not long after, he was invited wjth other.*
to the raising of a barn. At regular, otic
rather short intervals, the pail of toddy was
passed round, and he sipped wi h the rest, til
at length he discerned Ihpt -he had taken
one eip too much. He was a little ovei
jhe bay-jiandgn returning homo lie could
not navigate quite so well* as he wanted
to. But though his potations had made
$ad worfc wim nis pnysicin system, >"<
his mind was not so oflccled" but that lit
perfectly understood his situation, nor his
qiQfQl sensibilities-^o perverted but that 1v
felt heartily ashamed of himself. lis
reflectiorts-were tiot of- Jhe-most njrreeabh
characters he approached his.* dwelling,nor
wereihey essentially improved as he-entered
and noticed the saddened., countenances ol
his wifetand daughters, whose gushifig tears
soon told him how bitterly painful to tin
soul it wns to have a husband and a farthci
come home drunk. . He sat down and mu
sed a while in-silence. At length he rousec
himself from hisslupor, and with a determin ed
tone demanded?* Where's my inch
augur/' So strange a question in th<'se circumstaoces,
only added to the sorrow ol
the afflicted family, and they thought it best
tblet it pass in silence. The question was
soon repeated in a still more de'enniued
[one^-*VVhoro is my inch augor ?' 'What
in the world do you Want of vuur inch au
^ ^ ? - ?
gur?' inquired his wife* mildly. 4. want it,'
was the reply. The inch auger was pro.
duced. He took it and commeced boring
with all the energy he was capable, in his
wooden mantle, tree. The work was soon
completed, and the chips were seen dropping
from the further sido ir.lo the fire.?
There, wife,?said he, as ho drew out ftis
auger'?I'll drink no more rum till that Me
grows up.
There was his pledge?and having it before
his eyos as be rose in the morning and
every time he entered in his dwelling through
the day, it doubtless had a much stronger
influence upon him, than if it hid been lock
ed up in the desk of the Secretary of the
temperance society, and to his beloved family,
the inch auger hole in the wooden manile-tree
was most undoubtedly the most
valuable chimney ornament that could possibly
have been devised.?Ii. I. Temp.

> physic a j degeneracy?bed rooms and
bed.
Mr. Holmes:?Sir, I shall not attempt to
enumerate all the causes of the feeble constituiions
of the present generation com.
pared with those of the past?but I wish to
advert briefly to a few practices winch, in
my opinion are among the most prominent
of those causes, And I will mention first
the practice of sleeping in small, close
rooms, not properly ventilated, or more
commonly not ventilated at all. Should our
tight-bedrooms, say 8 feet by 10, "plastered
and papered," with "listed doors and
windows," be exchanged for the large airy
rooms o? our forefathers, into which the
pure air of heaven was freely if not at all
times willingly admitted?and from which
! the impure air could always 'find egress
through a chimney 3 feet by 6 "In the
throat," many a sickly, yellow countenauce
would again bloom with the roses of health.
I would not be understood, however, as re?
commending that particular mode of ventilation.
But as that mode is rapidly going into disuse,
and in many places it is entirely unknown,
I do contend that somo other mode should be
substituted. And if warm, comfortable (?)
houses are to be purchased at the expense of
the vital air of heaven, they are purchased at
too dear a rate,
i I am aware that persons are very apt to
overlook the importance of this subject, and
especially those who are not acquainted with
the philosophy of respiration, and of the
change affected in the atmosphere in passing
through the lungs. But it seems to me jthat
l any person who, after spending the night-in a
close room, will go out in the morning when
. | hfc can breathe the pure air for fire minutes,
j and then return to his sleeping room, mu6t
r be sensible of the impurity of the air and of
its utter unfitness for the purpose of respira1
tion. . .
1 Another cause of this evil may be found in
; the almost universal practice of sleeping on
I feather beds during the hot weather of sum,
mer. J have no doubt but "beds filled with
p) good straw, husks or wood, are more wholeI
some even m winter^ than feathers, especially
' for children?and in summer they are <iot on.
!y more wholesome, but decidedly more. com.
! furtablc. And I seriously doubt whether any
1 person who will try either for one week m hot
weather would be willing to exchange it for
t feathcrst * .
Wood for beds is prepared by taking "birch
, poles and stripping them in the same manner
as (or brooms. I am told that it is about four
dayjs wo^k to srrip.enough for a Bed. .
But Mr. Editor I am aware that such doctrine
as this will find but little favor, especially
with those who most need thd change.
And this, like till other reforms must be commoncend
and carried on, as far- as means are
concerned, by those who least need the reformation.
Thus it has beep in the temperance
cause and so it must be with the health cause
I and indeed with all feforms of this kind. And
i the unwelc'oms tru'h must be urged home upon
the conscience of the community, "line upon
, line and preqept upon'precept."
V it-will avail nothing to declaim against the
evil in question, in general terms, or to expa.
tiate upon the advantages to be derived from
' a change of habits. Tuis course was pursued
wiih untiring zeal for many years relative to
intemperance, but nothing was accomplished
. until the "ultra" ground was taken, viz: that
it was absolutely wrong,?that it was sinful
-to manufacture, sell or drink intoxicating li.
1 -quors." And in the case under consideration,
. Wfe.may expatiate till doorhflfday, upou the
il fiv'.l rnnaeniipnces bf certain habits, and the

ciples of Phrenology, as a well conducted
Journal.. It is unnecessary to state the par-,
ticu'ar advantages which a regular periodical
possesses over all other agencies; or to urge
the importance of having, in this country, such
a medium as it affords to make known to the
> public the facts and principles of the science.
. The objects of this Journal are to preserve
from oblivion the most interesting of the very
numerous facts confirmatory and illustrative of
the truth of phrenology; to record the history
and progress of the science; to show its true
bearingson the education (physicial, intellectual,
and moral); on the nature and treatment
of insanity; on jurisprudence and criminal legislation;
on mental and moral philosophy; and
to point out various applications to the improvement
of the institutions, manners, and
systoms of society.
Original essays on phrenological subjects
will form part of the Journal, and also reviews
of phrenologicaland anti-phrenological works;
and, as often as practicable, we -shall transfer
to its pagies, the bestarticles in the Edinburg
Phrenological Journal. There-are already enlisted
as contributors to thd work, many, of
the ablest writers and best penologists in the
country, as well as several foreign-correspondents.
We hope, as it progresses, to embody
in its pages nearly ail the matter published on
the science which is of particular interest to
the public, or can be of permanent value for fu
ture reference. We shall frequently aecotn
pany our facta and'delineations of charactej
with illustrative cuts.
It is not with the desire or expectation of
gain that-it isoffered to the commu.iity, but
from far higher considerations?rlrom a desire
to know and to promulate Jruth. It \yilL be
obvious to all, that 4 woik of this character
must depend chiefly for support on the lolun'ory
patronage and co. operations of those who are
interested in the subjects it discusses, and it i'b
hoped that the friends of the science will not
only encourage it by their oum subscriptions,
but that they will make efforts to extend its
circulation in the various parts of the country
where they may reside. No pains or expense
will be spared on the part of the proprietors to
render the work worthy of a liberal support.
