Physical Treatment of iiuiartu. from Dr. Combe,on Health & Mental Education As it is only in< its useful applications to the improvement and happiness of man that knowledge truly becomes power, we proceed, in accordance with this principle, to point out some of the advantages derivable irom that which we have attempted to com municate. , It appears from the London-Bill of Mortality, that between a foyrth arid a fifth of all die infhnts baptized die within tfie first two years of their existence. This*extraordinary result is not a part of\t he Creator's designs; it docs not..q^curinthc lower ynimals, and must therefore' have causes capable of removal. One of these, to speak only ofwbat is delated to the present inquiry,is unquestionably the inadequate protection af*. forded, especially among the poorer classes, to the new-born infant, against the effects of fhe great and sudden transition which it makes in passing at, once from a high and almost unvarying temperature in the moth" - ~ tnfowiAw (in/LTAAti _ ITS WUillUf IU U1K jiuviiv/t uuu WH* stantly liable to change. At birth, the skin is delicate, extremely vascular, and highly susceptible of impressions; so much so, that cases have occurred in which a.leechbite has caused a fatal hemorrhage. The circulation is, in fact, cutaneous; for the lungs, the, stomach, the liver, are as yet 11m to life, and feeble in their functions. . If the infant, then, be rashly exposed to a cold atmosphere, the,mass of blood previously circulating on the surface of the -body is immediately driven inwards by the contraction of the cutaneous vessels, and, by overstimulatingthe internal organs, gives rise to bowel complaints, inflammations, croup, or convulsions, which sooner or later extinguish life. This shows the inexpressible folly of those who bathe infants daily, in nnrl Av>i>i<r av i^OW .WQICr CVU1I 411 vt im^j y tuiu iiwiy I J)Q?c them the open a?T, "TJf to CfimSYs j Irom dpeu doors or windows, with a view ! to iiarden their-constitutions; when it is quite | certain that no more effectual means could j be resorted to in. tko earlier mouths of fife to undermine the general health and entail future disease on- the unhappy subjects of the experiment. This hurtful practice has perhaps arisen 111 sonic degree irom the prevalent error of supposing that infants have naturally a great power of generating heat and resisting 'cold. That the very opposite is the fact has been established by (he experiments of Dr. Milne Edwards, which show that %i the power of producing heat in. warmblooded animals is at its minimum at irirth, and increases successively to adult age," and that instead of young animals being Avarmer than adults, they arc generallg a degrco or two colder, and part with their heat moreTeadily. In ten healthy infants, from a few days to two hours old, the meaiv temperature was, observed by Dr. %dwards to be only 94d. 55. Fahr., tliat of adults being 97d. or 98d.; and in a seven months* child, three hours after birth, he found the, tempemtuMT so low aa 89d. 6, although the child was well clothed ,and near a good tire. That exposure to cold is really so injurious in infancy is unhappily proved by a multitude of facts. In France, as already alluded to in the first chapter, it is the-cue. torn to carry every infant, soon after birth, to the-offioe of the moire, that its bulb may be registered. Suspecting that the exposure consequent upon such a practice must be pernicious to health, especially in winter, and wheife the distance is great, Dr. Edwards made inquiry, and on consulting the returns made to the. Minister of the Interior, found that the proportion of deaths within very limited period after birth was much greater im winter than in summer, and in the northern than in the southern departments ; and on further inquiry be discovered that ?!"> ?woe mvatpr in n,ko.a (UC IIIVl ?*?? *J O" !" ? UltVO Wl|btv the inhabitants wap scattered at a distance from the maire, than where tliey were con. gregatcd near him; so that the number of deaths in infancy* seemed to be influenced by the degree and duration of the exposure to the cold air. 'What more .striking proqi ^ than this can be required of the cVils arising * from the ignorance of our legislators in re. gard to the constitution of the human bodyl Na man who understood physiology coulc fixer- have sanctioned a law, the practical ef. iectjof which is to consign annually so many victims to an untimely grave. Many parents, from over-anxiety to avoic one form o??cvil, run blindfold into anothei scarcely less pernicious, and not only envel op infants in -innumerable folds of warrr clothing, but keep them confined to verj hot and close rooms. It would be well foi them to recollect, however, that extremes are always hurtful, and that the constitutior may be enfeebled, and disease induced, bj too much heat and clothing and too clos< an atmosphere, as effectually as by cold an< currents of air. The skin thus opene< and relaxed perspires too easily, and is read ily aflected by the slightest variations o temperature; whence arise colds and othe ailments, which it is the chief intention -t< guard Jigwqst: and the internal organs, be k ing at the. same time deprived of their fail proportion x>f Wood, become enfeebled, anc afford inadequate nourislime.it and suppor to the rest of the body.

Not only, therefore, is daily washing of the body required at that age, but a frequent change of the clothing is essential, ami every thing in the shape of dress ought to be" loose and easy, both to allo\y free circulation through the vessels, and to permit the insensible perspiration to have a iree exit, instead 01 being connnea to, and absorbed by the clothes, and heldtin contact with the sfdn, 03 often happens, till it gives rise to irritation. , In youth, the.skin is still delicate iritexture and the seat, of extensive exhalation and acute sensation, but -it is at.tlie same .time more vigorQus in constitution than it \yas iri.infancy; and the several animal &nc tions being pojv more equally balanced, it is less susceptible of disorder from external causes, ana can endure with rmpdnity changes'of tfempefaiura which, at-eitheran earli?r or more advanced age,'would have proved "highly injurious. The - activity and restless energy of youth keep up a free and equai circulatioa eyen in the remotest parts of the bod}',.; and this Tree circulation in its turn maintains an equality of temperature in them alV " Cold bathing and'lighter clc thing'may now be resorted to"with a rational prespect of advantage: hut when* from a weak constitution or unusual susceptibility^ the slan ts not endowed with sufficient vitality to originate the necessary reaction, which alone renders these?s<fe and proper,?ichen they produce an abidingeciise of' chilliness, however slight in degree,?we may rest assured that mischief will inevitably folloio at a greater or shorter distance of time. Many young pei^>ns of both sexes are in the hahit of going about in winter and in coid weather with a dress light and airy enough for a northern summer, and they think it manly and becoming to do so; but those who are not very strongly constituted suffer a severe penalty for thoir folly.

Their suffering, unfortunatehr. does not stop here, for the tine qual distribution of the blood oppresses the internal organs, and too often, by insensible degrees, lays the foundation of tubercles in the lungs, and btlisr maladies, which show themselves only when arrived at an incurable stage.

Much lias appropriately been said anc written to awaken mothers to a sense ol their influence and responsibility. But this J theme has not been dwelt upon with a view to disparage or lessen the Influence or re r sponsibility of fathers, as has been intimated F If Union be strength any where, it is em piratically so in regard ;o the efforts of pa. . Without a COnrtfintrntinn rf pflnrf f in the nursery,, we haV e no right to cxpec t a well regulated family. Here the noxious weeds of discord spring . up spontaneously, whose seed is in itsell and yielding fruit after his kind; and thesi 1 can only be extirpated by the-systematic : persevering and combined efforts of fathe: . and mother. _ Instpad of union, wc sometimes find it Christian parents a great want of unanimity of effort in training their offspring 'tor im mortality. /<4t is not very unusual to fini even here petty jealousies, animosities, an< disputes, weakening and in some instances 2 sundering the bonds of conjugal affection i producing their .legitimate fruits, anarch; f and misrule in the children; fulfiling th * declaration," A house divided against itsell f is brought to desolation." r Perhaps the first step in this pathway c y ruin, was taken inadvertently; it may hav i originated in a merc want qf custom an' no r litcness or attention; one little difficulty ied 1 on to ohother, and another, till at length this t husband and wife trifled with each other's feelings, and were less aud less Studious to . promote each .other's happiness, i Possibly their first temptation to think jl^ t of each Other, was on making the discover}*, that after all their fond anticipations of hap> piness in each otheris^ocicty, their habits, r feelings, views, tastes or dispositions were quite dissimilar. A disapjjointiftent was not > merely felt, but expressed. At this critical i moment, instead of an effort to brihg-their s views to harmonize, or, in agreeing to differ > in opinion, each was self-opinionated, and , equally determined to make a convert of tho other. All this happened without any intention of doing each other tlie least injustice. The evil lay farther back. IIoW could any thing else have been expected from a husband, who in the days of *his childhood had never been taugfit by his father to be strictly obedient to his nioiher, nor polite and condescending to his sisteis 1 How could any ihing'else have been expected front a wife,'who had never been taught by a mother's exemple, the wholesome lessop, that <rtcfyiekl is to conquer." Parents who have'themselves indulged in little'bickerings'and jealousies in relation to each ether, should not surp/kted to find mtheir children emulation and strife, cruel hatred and revenge. A little reflgctio&asiighl have shown them that their own example had nurtured and encouraged these wicked dispositions; according to the homely maxi im, " Give children an inch and they will take an ell.'' rm * Jlappy is that family where the husband 1 and'fa'her maintains with credit .and honoi ' the elevation from whence he derives his superior influence and responsibility. -To excrt this influence, in a way, so as to render those who " shine in his beams," the most respectable?useful?happy, doubtless consists his true dignity. : It is lamentable to see husbands or father^ instead of aiming to be renowned in deeds, great in goodness} content to be first in autlkorUy, to derive their dignity from their station merely, forgetting .1 ^ -7- _?.* . +i i. _":,l .it- - cs mat it is wnn inem, as n is wun ine t^uu theirsis not a borrowed lustre?their usefulnessjs determined by the light and heal which they impart to surrounding objects. "But my desiflm is to speak more particu. lariy of an inconsiderate fulhtrs influence in the domestic circle." We do sometimes see a well regulated family, where the father takes but little interest in domestic affairs, and where he even takes no active part in maintaining family government. Yet, rarely if ever is this the fact, where the father puts - forthi ?*-***? ww*??>ing n.fl Will any aver, that the latter is seldom done ? All, at a glance perceive that sucli a course would be shameful?wicked?ruinous. Alas! there are many ways in which a father may inconsiderately counteract 01 neutralize a mother's influence. He may be entirely unconscious himself of tire course 1 Tri . uc is 11 jus puisuui?> 11 Iiawere interrogated on this point, you would hear him exclaim, " I would as soon plant a dagger in my own 1 breast, as to destroy my dear wile's influence in my own family." The evil is an jn'siui; ous~onc, and should therefore be pointed out. I will mention a few cases which will illustrate my meaning, and which i trust will be ' palpable tp the apprehension of every iathei : whos<? judgment has not been warped by existing circumstances; but in order to dc this, I must descend to particulars. A C09L test Arises between a mother and her child; 1 I will suppose that the father, knowing all J. the ciroiwfetances, does not exactly approve of the course whjcb the mother has pursued; yet, if he withholds his influence anfeupport from her in subduing the cbilaT the mother's influence is lessened,if not destroy, ed. Let a father express even a doubt, in 1 the hearing of his child, whether a mother's 1 command is nerfectlv reasonable: let him J but unguardedly say, " Wife do govern youi ^ own temper, before you attempt to govern | the child; see that you don't get angry your? -self." Let a father but insinuate that pro. bably a child's faults are not* corrected, be. cause a mother does not take the right metji. 1 od. Let him expostulate with his wife thus " My dear, do give the child what it wants ' to eat, or-to drink; do not starve the pool ' thing." - \ Let the father insinuate that the mother is over-righteous; let him insist on taking oui the child for a walk, on the Sabbath, contrary ttfthe mother's views of rights let hirr persist in taking out a child to'walk or tc : ride, when the mother thinks it too unwell or the weather too cOld. Let a father inti 1- giate, even in a trifling way, that the rnothc: ; is disposed to-assuine the reins of govern i ment, and he slrikes-a deadly blow at he; r subsequent efforts to legislate in the family . even in his absence, unless a merciful banc . interpose. The fether may forget that he fPhas ever intimated such things in the hear. ingofhis children and servants; but they , will not forgetthem. This tide of niisdircdtec t influence will probably roll on through tutun generations till it mingles in the ocean ? * eternity. Children,'and especially sons,need but little encouragement, to induce them tc 3 trifle with their mother's feelings, tratnph , on her authority and impugn her motives r Let a father be severe in the treatment o his wife; let him. be soverej^n, arbitrary a tyitfnnical, even in his manner towards her / and he weakens, if he docs not destroy he] . influence. x ] i . It is not only right and proper, b? it ii i likewise beautiful, to see a wife taking spe i, cial care to render the home of licr husban< , pleasant and cheerful?ncAt and orderly? y her children quiet, obedient, industrious e that she be frugal in her expenditures; tho f, she " look well to the ways of her house ? hold, and eat not the bread of idleness." 1 >f is right that her husband should be some c times entirely unmolested,, and freefror - | perplexing cares, and that his study showl N. [ be quiet. .Butit is equally incumbent, equali ly <jpmrpendatory ^hat he give his personal efforts, and at time's his individual and cheerful attention to produce subjection and order in the family ; - and that he aid in rendering his own" nursery and family quiet, cheerful, happy, not as conferring an. obligation on his-wife, but in (lie discharge of an obligation to a heavenly Father, who entrusted these children to his special guardiunship. ^ Sqitne men who would lay claim to the character of a loving husband, and a fond father, after hours, it may bc,<luys of absence from home, perhaps 011.perplexing business?yet their spirits have been exhilr' rateddjy a change of scene, or by a charming ride, or a lovely walk, yet they 110 sooner enter their own dwelling, than you may hear tliem, in a captious and fault finding manner, chiding ttfc care worn wife, that her children arc captious and noisy. * -* * * *. * A father, let his situation be ever so-clcva icj, jus uvuuuuuus vvi;r su numerous, ?mu . his business ever so pressing, has no warrant from the word of Go'cj, for withholding either life influence or his personal efforts "fer making his children precisely what.be couldnvish. them to become, and what every | family ought'to become; a family that God r, will delight to own. and to bless. We do I not read that faithful Abraham, tfho became i the father of mafiy nations, and had a great retinue of servants, made this an excuse for not commanding his Children and his housc hold. If a father is so circumstanced, that' [ he cannot bestow his personal attention and efforts to train his children to habits of obei dicnce and usefulness, lef him provide a safe ( placp abroad, where this can be effected; above all things let not a child be left to disobey oi^trifle, with a mother's authority*. . .The threatenings of God are no less irrevocable than his promises. The voice of inspiration declares, "The'eye tliat mocketh at his father, and rcfuscth to obey his mother, | the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and 1 the young eagle shall eat it." Thowtti this | threatening be not literally fulfilled, m case r of disobedience, a curse no less dreadful ' should bcrexpected, unless timely repentance 1 and reformation avert the evil. It is some| times intimated that the children of ministers arc mora difficult to gov^n and manage, in schools, and in the Sabbath school, than other children. I'woulcl affectionately and respectfully inquire, if there be not danger, while there is such a demand for protracted effort on the part of the wisest and best of ' men, in earning forward the benevolent . efforts of the day, in aid of the " conversion , of the world," is there not imminent danger _ ihtis MnplrtH, ?*?o sacredness of the object a plausible excuse, 1 for neglecting their own families? But I hesitate not to say, that no public or parochial duties, no missionary labor or respon. sibilitv, can exonerate a husband or a father , from a discharge of the paramount duty he , owes to the wile of his l>Osom; and the chil| dren of his own bowels. Bui let mo add, there will be no occasion for this, where there is unity cf effort betw<?en , parents. HVBAL BCOXOTKY. On the Spaying of milch Cows. BY M.LEVART, OF LAUSANNE. (Fromthe Veterinarian.) > In May, 182?, charged by the* government of Vaud with the superintendence of the castration of colts "in'that cantph, the I opportune which thisaffordod me of rei peatinff the experiments made in America , Encouraged by the success of the first , experiment, M. Ftancclkn begged me to" r spay a second cow. He chose an okl one ). that gave plenty of milk, in-order that be 3 might be able to judge of tHe effect of the - operatioh On old cows. She was at least 3 twelve years aid, and had had two calves in - the preceding October that had befen got ; from her with considerable difficulty, and t she was accustomed to yield, on the aver age, about eight quarts of milk. She was t operated upon, on the 18th November, thir! ty-thiee (toys after calving, and she, was n then yielding twelve quarts of milk r but it d is right to say. that she had a purulent I on the "spaying of the cow, was toofavora" ble to hie lost. I extracted the ovaries from! a cow destined to be slaughtered. She was not then giving milk, and fiierefere my purpose could not be fully ans wered"; nevertheless it was something for me to I lave studied C the method of performing the operation, t -and to have assured myself ol its patholoi gical connection and effect. I should, on . another occasion, be enabled to practice the . operation with more adroitness; and should . probably ipspire-confidence in those who . might think proper to* employ me. The , cow seemed a httle depressed during the i first two days after the spaying, but on the third day she had regained all her ordinary habits and spirits. ; " I was then anxiotts to operate on a cow I that *as in the condition indicated by M. . Winn, i. c. about a month after her second \ or third calving. M. Francelloii Michand-, to whom I imparted this wish} requested mo to make the ' experiment on"one of his cows; She wxe* six years old, and had her third calt In tlie preceding years she had given "eight quarts of milk at eaclf time immediately at ter her calving, and six quarts some month's afterwards." On the 29tb June, 1833, she was opera. Jed on. She appeared scarcely affbct,ed by it, except tha; she did not eatquito so much during the two next days, and her milk diminished to four quarts; but xmt the third ' -day she recovered her spirits and appetite, and yielded her usual quantity vof thilk. During the summer she gave,seven qharts, although, in the preceding years, she had not . been accustomed to yield more than sixf| quarts at this season. charge from the tuba, and that she dkl nol eat with the appetite she was accustomed tc do. ' ' Writers on the spaying of the cow, have not described the manner of performing the oj>eraUonand it is well known that the ovaries do not retain the same situation in af animals. Daubcnton was the first whef described the spaying of sheep, but the method which would be pursued with regard tc the sheep would not be applicable to the cow. It is on this account that I feel disposed to relate the method which 1 pursuec in spaying these animals. The operation ought to be performed be* twecn thirty and thirty-eight days after calving, and on a cow that had just had hei second or third calf, because this is the age and time when she yields the greatest quan tity of milk, and retains it during the longes period. No preparation is nece ssary, ex cept the refraining from feeding her as plen tiful as usual on the night bcibtfe Spaying and to operate in the morning before sh< was fed. The necessary implements ar< ropes, a plank, or a bai of wood, two bistou rics,[knives] (one convex and very sharp, tlx other probe-pointed and straight,) two curvei needles, some strong thread well waxed and a plank or bar of wood, about eigh inches wide and three in thickness. In order to operate safely and well, tb cow mu^t he properly secured. To cflec this, she must be placed against a wall wit her left side towards the operator. Thre strong rings should-be fixed in the wall wit straps and buckles attached to them; on for a cord to confine the head, the two other should be placed lower, the one on "a lev* with the lower part of the right shouldci the other at the point of the hock. A cor should be , passed in front of the ches brouglrt along the left side of the body c the cow. nasscd behind the thighs, and fixe to a buckle which is oh a level with th hock, or ratlier an assistant should hold th end of the rope passed once around th ring. The head is to be fixed by a turn c the cord, which is to be licld by a stron man. Tlien the plank or bar of woo must be placed obliquely under the teat< and in front of the hind limbs: an assistar holds this, so that the operator may be sat from the kicking of the animal; final! 6ome one holds the tail, or it is tied to th rope that goes round the patient, in order t escape the blows which the animal woul give with it when the arpi was patted int The abdomen. ; In default of a wall provided with rir>? and buckles, a strong palisade"will do, < any solid barrier, or trees growing at a coi vaniont <ti? ***?*> froni each other, and ' which a strong bar of v^pod ntpy be fixed. The animal beingsecured, the operato armed with ftie convex bistoury, which 1 holds in his-right hand, places himself i the left shoulder of tHe cow; with his 1c hand -resting on . her bock.' That. liar serves -as a point of suppert for him fe n tire or rest upon, if it snotdd be accessor during her struggles, and also enablirtg-hil to use his right hand more effectually. E then places ther edge of the bistoury on Jl middle and a little nearer the superior pa of the left flank, and at brio Incision cu through the skin njri- fta muscles'of tW part vertically. ' The flank having been opened,and tipper toneum [lining ?Kmit>rane] with it, the-operi torenlaiges the incision so as to be enabled t introduce hjsjiand & armt Taking tlic bistoi ry imhis left1iandrhnrfow gently <fe-cautioui ly introduces his riglit hand into the atyiomcj directing if to wards the pelvis and behin 3he cilfde sac of the paunch, where he wi fmd the horns of the uterus- When he he recognised tbis viscus, he carries his hand little above its bifurcation, wliere the ovari? are situated between tho folds of the siti spensor ligaments .of the litotes ; he sfcze one of the ovaries, which he defitclieVat ii posterior part, by moans, qf theJhianbkjTn fore finger, .and he passes his finger alon theconvexity. of the ovary in .order to sept rate k complotely from the peritoneal Ugi ptent which sustains it, Thfen he takes th omry in his hand, he draws it gently to ware him, ate^ b/h^eans of tKe thumb naite^ saws the vessels cfhcT the horns of the pian tube on his fore finger, whieh offej him a point of support under thpse vessels finally he breaks the cord by succ^wive gei tic tugs at it, wiuie he "is sawing it with In nail, and helhus brings- out the. ovary.

From the observations I have sjpcc bee t enabled to raako, f should offer the follow. ? ing as the advantages to be expected from spaying cows; ' r\ . ) 1. An increase of at least one-tliird in 5 the production of milk. 2. The certainty of leaving a nearly I equal supply at all times. 3. The disposition to fatten more readily, and to greater extent, when their milk begins * > to fail. j 4. 'rtfc saving of an expense, often con- . . siderable, arising from barren cows, and I which, in some districts and on gome farms, . either from the influence of breed or-bad > management, occurs- to almost every cow . once in two or three years. As an illustrar tion of this, I mention, that, in the neighbor? hood of Lausanne and Lavaux, the formers . arc often obliged to change their cows, ant expense almost ruinous to them.
