F , rore the American Journal of the Medical Sciences. Remarks on Statistical Medicine, coa t . ast1xg the result of the emi'ieical wira the Regular Practice of Physic. B) Samuel Cartwright, M D. of Natchez. This is a very curious anJ interesting paper, and^is one of the most judicious and efficient attempts to demonstrate the evils of quackery that we have met with. We have long despaired of any means be?r?g devised tor opening the eyes of the public to the pestilence in question, but if any one1 can e licet that object, certainly it is that which Dr. C. has adopted. His investigations have every mark of having been made with care and conscientiously, and ins results appear irrefutable. It appears from Dr. Cartwright's researches, that during ten years from the 31st December, 1823. to the 1st January, 1834, the whole number of deaths, was 978, the population being at an average ot 3.000 ; being an annual mortality of 1 in 30.6 per cent. "Natchez, during these ten years mentioned, protected and encouraged science, and science protected and guarded her citizens. The citizens of Natchez,during these ten years, were protected by strict laws against murder o!is quacks and empiricism of all kinds." * * ? "Before the termination of 1833. the laws of Mississippi, which protected the science of Medicine and guarded the people against ignorant presutners and pretended reformers, were virtually annulled. By the first of January, 1834, a host of empirics had made their way into our city, aud' commenced in good earnest, what they called a reformation in medicine. * * * * + Dr. C. next applies statistical medicine to that portion of time which has elapsed since the introduction of the pretented reformed medicine into Natchez. "The total number of deaths," he observes, "which occurred in ten years, from 1823 to 1834, is 978. If, therefore a population of 30(H), in ten years, lose 978, how many deaths would occur in a population of 6000 in four years and nine months? The total number should be 929. But the actual number of deaths recorded in the sexton's hooks, the last four years and nine months, since the pretended reformation in medicine commenced, is 1315. The reformation, therefore, has reformed, in four years and nine months, no less than 386 individuals out of existence. But to put the matter in a plainer light?the average annual mortality of Natchez, since empirics have divided the practice with the regular physicians, is no less than one death per annum in every *21.7 rf the inhabitants ; hut to estimate the mortality on the actual population of 1837, when Natchez contained, 6000, it would he 1 in 22.2; but in the teh years preceding this mixture of empiricism with the regular practice, only one in every 30.6 died per annum. During these ten years, the number who died under the care of physicians was about 1 in 47 per annum, and the number of unreported deaths during the same period was 1 in 89 per annum. But during the last four years and nine months, including the late epidemic, and including all the cases from the Natchez hospital, the physicians lost 1 in 41 per annum, who eas the unreported deaths of the same period were 1 in 45.7 per annum ; nearly double the unreported cases ot the former period, and exceeding the whole mortality occurring in the practice of the physicians curing ten years. But it may be supposed, that the increased mortality of the last four years and nine months, may be owing in part to the greater number of persons who have settled in Natchez, and who have had to undergo that peculiar change called acclimation. It may also he supposed, that the compar atively small mortality ot the ten preceding years might lie owing to a greater proportioned number of citizens leaving town during tlie sickly months in the first period of ten years, than in the sec. ond period of lour years and nine months. Plausible as these suppositions may be to account for the great difference of mortality during the two periods, a voice from the com 'try proclaims that such is .v# I #\ 4 a? i?/\n I f ,? ii>/\l I ). tt/iiii n 'I'll lilt; li lit; ll'rtSWll, 11 in v*ci| Aiivn II that the fcxer of acclimation, or stranger's fever, as it is sometimes called, never occurs in the winter or spring. It is likewise known, that no persons fly from town in order to avoid sickness in January, February aod March. But what does the voice from the burial ground say 1 It says, that the total number of dead bodies conveyed there during a period of ten years, from 1823 to 1834, in the months of January, February and March, was only 150; and that the number carried thither, the last five years in the same months, January, February and March, is no less than 239. Half the time and twice the population ought to give me same resuus, as i\v:ce me nine and half the population. If, therefore, the introduction of empiricism, and patent medicines into Natchez had added nothing to the mortality of the place, the aggregate number of deaths which occurred during the first quarter of each of the last six years, should not have exceeded the aggregate number of deaths which occurred during the first quarter of each of the ten preceding years. Hut they do exceed them, as far as 239 exceed 109. The difference between these two numbers gives the precise increase mortality, during the months of January, February'! and March, since half a dozen or more IJ deluded empirics made this city their ' place of residence and commenced, what 1 they called, a reformation in medicine. ' The average annual mortality, taking 1 these months as the standard, during ten | years, was only 1 in 47. But no sooner did illiterate mountebanks* make a lodgjmentin Natchez, than the mortality of j 1 January, February and March, increased j to 1 in 31.4 per annum. In the s i month of April, during the ten years 4 between i823 and 1834, the physicians 1 , lost 39 patients, and during the same < [ time 11 deaths were unreported. The i whole mortality for ten Aprils in succes- 1 sion was only 50. But since quackerv has been !< t loose upon the people of Natchez, 53 persons have died during the last five Aprils?bring 35 more than the proportional number of deaths that occur- \ red before the empirics proffered their i services to the good people of this cltv. 1 ! "In other words, making April the <standard, the average mortality would * be only 1 in 50 per annum of the total * population, includingstrangcrs, during a 1 i period of ten years. But since Natchez . has been overrun bv empirics, the mortality of the last five Aprils has increased to 1 in 29.4 per annum. The mortality t which occurred in the practice of the [ physicians in each month of April for ten [ years, between 1823 and 1834, has been at the rate of 1 in 64.2. The mortality i which has occurred in the practice of physicians of the last five Aprils has been at * the rate of 1 in 65.7?nearly equal as t far as the physicians are concerned in f both periods. Yet in the first period of r ten years only 1 in 50 died, but as soon 1 as quackery was introduced, 1 in 29.4 h died. It is worthy of particular remark, . that the number of deaths reported by the , physicians are concerned in both periods, not only in the month of April, but every r other month of the year, is relatively very t nearly the same. Tiius, 39 deaths were reported by physicians in the ten Aprils t of the first period, and 33 in the five Aprils of the second period. But whils tho un- (3 reported deaths of the first period were only 11, t. e unreported deaths of the second period amount to 47. ; Again, during the first ten of the Inst fifteen .Mays, Natchez lost in all 73 individuals; 40 reported by physicians and 33 unre- j ported cases. But curing the last five a .Mays, she has lost 99 individuals, 33 c reported by physicians and 66 unreported p cases, or cases reported by persons who t are not regular physcians. During the r last period the unreported deaths, or those which have bee.i reported by persons not * lielongingto the medical profession, dou- 2 ble the nnmber of deaths reported bv ^ physicians; whereas before the introduc- P tion of quackery, a large majority of all the deaths were reported by the physicians. To sum up the matter, therefore, j in January, February, March, April and t May, of the ten years preceding 1834, p 293 persons died in Natchez; while in n the same months for the last five years, a 421 have died. In half the time and c twice the population, the number should 'J have been the same. No less, therefore, a than 128 individuals have unnecessarily s perished or have been wantonly sacrificed, c since the first of January, 1884, during * the five most healthy months in the year. 11 Taking these five healthy months, as ? being the months hest calculated to test* " . . c the success of the empirical practice, as ^ the months when empiricism is most pop- ? ular, (diseases being the mildest, and the Jj principle of life the strongest,) 128 indi- a vidua Is have died, over and above the t number which did die in twice the time s and half the population, before the empi- r rical practice was introduced. If these e healthv months were made the standard of o comparison, Natchez would lose 331 individuals in five years over and above the number she lost in ten years and half the population, unucr the regular ex- 1 ercise oi'the medic >1 profession, unmixed c with qvackerv. *1 *'**?* o When the empirics came to Natchpz ? the annual average mortality including ' strangers, still-born children, and the deaths occurring among the negroes ' * i <* - - i - ?1-. i >n c* i . nrougni nere xor saie, was oniy 1 m ou.u cj ?and had been at this rate for the (en ^ preceding years, while the mortality , among the citizens proper did not exceed t 1 in 61 ; but the very month in which the f | empirics commenced, in good earnest, to c i reform a science they had never studied, the mortality suddenly increased to one death in every 21 inhabitants per annum, notwithstanding that Natchez had, in the ] mean time, ceased to he a market for the < sale of negroes, which formerly added 1 very considerably to the bills of mortal i- 1 i ty, not only from the deaths which occur- } ! red among them, hut likewise from the [ j contagious diseases, as measles and * | whooping cough, which they almost an- N : nually introduced into the city. _ ~~ 4 DOING A LARGE BUSINESS. A young Englishman, who went out . the other day to see the annua] exhibition at the Louvre, suddenly exclaimed in the 1 midst of the crowd, " I am robbed!" and then rushed towards a beautiful young ' woman who stood within a couple of yards ( of him. seized her by the arm, exclaim- t ing, "Behold the robber!" "You are ? wrong. Monsieur," replied the young lady ; " here is a watch which some one has just dropped at my foot. It does not belong to me, and I picked it up for no other purpose hut to inquire its owner and j restore it." The lady was most fashion- # ably attired, and tins circumstance at first idiarmed suspicion. The gentleman ex. imined the watch and declared it was not lis. But he persisted, nevertheless, in maintaining that the young person whom le held fast by the exquisite sleeve had obbed him. She was eventually arrest, id, and within the folds of the sleeve tveie found, not only the Englishman's hissing watch, but three others and as nany well stocked purses besides. In ler desire, wheD first accused, to extricate lorself from her embarrassing position, die had sought to restore the watch wliich die had abstracted, but presented another >y mistake. The brilliant thief turned nit to be a Jewess, of remarkable beauty, -vho had often before been acquainted vith justice through similar peccadilloes. I'aris paper. " I didn't want a caVt load." A story is related of Captuin S , vho for many years run a steamboat ipon Lake Champlain, and whose gallanry to the ladies is so proverbial, that luring one of his trips he was most assiduously attentive to a lady passenger, ihowing and describing to her every hing of int rest on their route. When he dinner hour came, he united upon the a dies to the table, honouring the interestng sii anger with a seat at its head. Afer carving, in the most approved style, he dish of animal food which stood be'ore him, he assisted her to a plate, )ountcously loaded with the nicest cuts. "Lame!" cried the lady, "I didn't vant a cart load !" In astonishment the worthy captain > -? ? r vatcriea wun anxiety xns operuuuus ui he fair lady. He soon perceived, howiver, that the cart load, with the necessay garnishments, had disappeared, and the >lnte returned for a second supply. This upply followed the first, when no longer ihie to contain himself, with the dainty ady's exclamation in relation to a cart oad, he said: * Madam, if you will back your cart up gain, it will give me the greatest pleasure o help you to another losd." "No! thank you," she replied, "but I'll ake a little pudding !" He gave it up and wai ted out upon the leek. NOBLE SENTIMENTS.
