coffee, or chocolate, is better than tea. Vegetables and pastry should be avoided, with all fermentible food, from their want of nourishment, and disposition to generate wind, and induce debility. Food should be taken in small quantities, and very frequently; the night should not by any means be passed without it, when the patient is awake, that the stomach may be gradually invigorated by constant but not laborious employ, to strengthen, not fatigue. The quantity of food is frequently rejected, when the quality would be highly advantageous. The cravings of the patient should be consulted and indulged : the constitution knows its own wants but the appetite must not be "palled" by too long anticipation, or even the sight or smell of food, until ready for the stomach. Lying down to sleep after eating a meal is highly useful digestion is then undisturbed. * Fruits (especially the acid ones, as currants, apples, &c.) are very useful. Amusement and exercise should be sought; the mind and body require this: but fatigue must always be avoided. This rule is much neglected, and the exercise is frequently continued until fatigue has commenced, when the increase of it, before the patient can return home and rest, is highly injurious. The swing, a boat, walking, riding in a carriage, or on a horse, may be adverted to according to the patient's choice and strength; always avoiding excess, and chusing mild, warm day, with an invigorating air, without dampness or moisture of any kind. Easterly and N. E. winds are singularly hurtful. Change of air seems to be less necessary than is supposed but the bed-room and clothes should be well ventilated daily. The medicines must likewise be of the most strengthening kind avoid every debilitating means; the disease has too much of this, to make it necessary for recovery. : * Animals evince the propriety and advantage of this; and experiment has evinced it in the human subject. Two malefactors were fed alike nine hours before execution, of which they were not apprised. One slept that time, the other worked. On being examined, the first had digested his food, the other not one-third of his. In the Literary Panorama Vol. I. p. 573, is mentioned a case (Mr. Stuart's) of consumption, cured by eating large quantities of currants daily; and I know of another case (mentioned to me by a physician) cured by drinking Madeira wine: also, another cure effected by oysters, after the patient had been starved, and the patient left by her medical attendants. Her cravings were for food the habit required it: she was indulged and recovered. A very common cause of recovery: i. e. in opposition to the present dangerous mode of treatment, : Violent evacuations are to be zealously avoid ed; of these, bleeding is the worst. When patients lose blood, their death-warrant is signed with their own blood! Medicines of the cordial, bitter, and tonic kind, are most useful. Mineral tonics, are also highly ef ficacious: stimuli, when allowable, strengthening and resinous gums, opiates, blisters, and warm plaisters, the cold bath, &c. are highly important. The Iceland moss (as a bitter mucilage) is useful, and especially the prepared conserve or jelly of it, as uniting the nourishing properties of sugar with. it. By these means the natural indications and wants of the constitution are supplied; time is gained (always important and desirable), relief certainly obtained, and the cure (if at all) insured, by the lungs recovering their proper action. Before the lungs are affected, the cure is proportionably more easy and certain. When the same symptoms arise from internal bleeding, as from the nose, lungs, &c. the same treatment must be pursued. Avoid bleeding. If loss of blood would cure, the very cause of the disease would prevent its existence. In all such cases, there is not too much blood, but the vessels are too weak to hold it. They do and necessarily must, partake of the general debility, and require strength. In all such cases, where the constitution has not a sufficient supply for its own wants, there can be no superfluity to spare hence the secretions must be deficient. This natural and obvious effect of the disease is as generally as erroneously regarded as the cause: restore the strength, and the healthy actions will follow. Many persons have thought this disease contagious and hereditary; it has never appeared so to me: nor is it more singular, that several individuals of a family should suffer from it, than from any other complaint, (fever, &c.) when they are equally exposed to its exciting causes. That the finest women are the most subject to it, is certain; and for the most obvious reason: they are generally the weakest, and most delicate, susceptive, &c.; and as the women of the British isles are universally allowed to rank among the most beautiful in the world, so they are the most obnoxious to this-their envious and inveterate enemy! These observations, with what I have said in the last Number, I hope will be found practically useful. They are founded on experience and the indications of nature, and are supported by the best observers of that unerting guide; unwedded to theory, unfettered by systems of partial and defective reasoning. Cases might be multiplied, if admissible. The plan I have recommended I first tried on myself: its success warranted the practice I have ever since adopted with effect, beyond every other.

Ridley, Bart. to Miss Farrer, of Lincoln's Inn DEATHS. In October last, at his residence in Maryland, in the 73d year of his age, Mr. Benjamin Banneker, a black man, and immediately descended from African parents. He was remarked in the circle of his acquaintance by his correct and gentle manners, and known among scientific men as a mathematician and astronomer. In early life, his acquirements were confined to the common elements of instruction; but afterwards, assisted by such books as chance threw in his humble path, and guided by his genius alone, he acquired a competent knowledge of the higher branches of learning. Mingling the calm pursuits of science with the active occupations of husbandry on his own lands, he devoted much of his time to study and contemplation: to no reading was he more attached than to that of the Holy Scriptures. Mr. B. was the calculator of an Ephemeris, adapted to and published for several years in Maryland and the adjacent states. At his decease he bequeathed his library and several manuscript tracts on his favourite studies, to a friend, who, it is hoped, will lay before the public such of the latter as may be found wor thy of its attention, and thus rescue from oblivion the memory of this modest and interesting child of Africa. Suddenly, Christian VII. King of Denmark. He was born on the 29th of January, 1749. In the year 1766 he was married to the Princess Carolina Matilda, sister of our Monarch. The unfortunate history of that Princess, owing, it is generally supposed, to the enmity of her stepmother, has long been a subject of regret in this country. The late King of Denmark came to England in the year 1767, and was received with every possible demonstration of respect by all ranks of people. Soon after his return to Denmark, his faculties, which were never bright, sunk into a decay, which wholly unfitted him for the duties of his situation, and his kingdom has ever since been governed under his name, without the least chance that he would be able to resume his royal functions, Before this melancholy event in his life, there was nothing in his character morally or intellectually calculated to excite admiration or provoke censure.
