P. Willis, in answer to another from a Presbyterian clergyman of aconsumptive habit, who has tried traveling at the south without any essential benefit. who lives in a house but moderately warm, with a carefully-adjusted temperature and a thorough ventilation, re- maining without doors most of the time, with 2 regular exercise, and in favorable weather taking, in the course of the day, a brisk walk of balfa mile. With all this care he does not get weil, and inqatres what method Mr. Willis has pursaed that he isno longer to be classed among consumptives ¢ answer lays down so admirable a method for the recovery of health, in those cases where there is yet in the constitution sufficient strength to build upon, that we copy it entire. We must remember, however, that the writer has possibly made too little allowance for the effect of a change of air in removing from the sea coast to a region beyond the Highlands: “ The politicians teach us how to treat a ease, [ think. They do not try to convert the opposing party. They are content if they can keep it in the minortty—sure that it will tire, in time, of its want of power, change sides, or disappear. The patieat who troubles himself least about bis disease. (or who leaves it eutire- ly to his doctor.) but who perseveringly ont- votes it by the high condition of the other parts of his system, is the likeliest to recover—and it is this hevhk condition alone, that I have any- thing to say. Of twenty who may be sleepless with a cough, and weakened with the raising of blood, uo two, perbaps: are subjects for pre- cisely the same medical treatment, or diseased in precisely the same locality—though all are called ‘coasumptives.’ Our friends the p5ysiciaus are bevter geographers than we, as to where the healing is wanted—though they atrangely confine themselves to the specific ail- ment, taking it for granted that the patient keeps the rest of his body in proper training dogs, for recovery. It is medical etiquette, I be- lieve, to retrain from any very particular in- uiry into Bat few siek men are wise, or rm. d enough to be safely trusted with theirown general condition; and I, for one, came very near dying—not of my disease, but of what my doctors touk for granted. ‘To leave generalities, however. and come to the personal experience which you ask for : “I went to the Tropics, as a last hope, to cure 2 chronie cough and blood-raising which had brought me to the borders of the grave.

It was evident, however, that Judge Dorsey had decidedly the advantage of his North Carolina competitor. The debate ulti- mately turned upon the comparative intelli- gence of the constituents of these gentlemen.
