Opposton and mposton. t would be dffcult to conceve of a more formdable array of adverse or opposng nfluences than those whch are thrown n the way of Hydropathc practce. And nothng can better llustrate the self-relant vtalty the nherent truthfulness of our system than ts every-day trumphs over such obtacles. Not only do we have to counteract the preudces govern the morbd feelngs and oppose the artfcal appetences of our patents but n too many cases we are oblged to contend wth the mperlnent ntermeddlng.s of ther frends and the nsolent mnchn - tons of ther have-been and woul-be physcans. t wll certanly kll you! You wll never co.me out of the wet sheet alve! You have not constluton enough to Good thng n some cases but but stand t! should be afrad to r.sk t! very dangerous n ohers!

Yet despte those mll-stones whch are and sometmes mposton on the prt of physcans s welded aganst us and aganst the patent much more efectually n home practce where we can only nstruct and advse than at the establshments where we have a chance to enforce and control. Not unfequently t happens that when the wfe s the patent the husband the relafves and the vllage doctor are actvely and btterly opposed to every thng about water- treatment whlst the patent who has been drugged nto utter desp lr of help from any other source s ardently anxous to try our system.

L O R D Pa L M E R S T O N ON FaSTNG AND Praykr. n reply to a communcaton from the Ednburgh Presbytery nqurng whe ther the Brtsh Government ntended to a natonal fast n vew of the pre- valence of the cholera the dstngushed Vscount has caused to be penned a most admrably nstructve letter. And as we place t on record we cannot help com- e9ect to hs exertons. mendng t to the serous prayerful and workful attenton of statesmen dvnes and physcans everywhere Oct nformed whether t s proposed to ap- < pont a day of natonal fast on account of the vstaton of the cholera and to state certan laws of nature for the planet n whch we lve and the weal and woe of manknd (t depend upon the observance or neglect of those laws. One of those laws connects health wth the absence of those gaseous exhalatons whch proceed from ovcr-crowded human bengs or from decomposng substances whether anmal or vegetable and the.-e same laws render st knes^s the almost nevtable consequence of exposure to those noxous nfluences. But t has at the same tme pleased ^l o^dence to place t wthn the power of man to make such arrangements as wll prevent or dsperse such exlalatons so as to render them harmless and t s the duty of man to attend to those laws of nature and to exert the facultes whch Provdence has thus gven to man for hs welfare. The recent vstaton of cholera whch has for the moment been nv rcfully checked s an awful warnng gven to the people of ths realm that they have too much neglected ther duty n ths respect and that those persons wth whom t rested to purfy towns and ctes and to prevent and remove the causes of dseases have not been suffcently actve n regard to such matters. Lord Palmerston would therefore suggest that the best course whch the people of ths country can pursue to deserve that the further progress of the cholera should be stayed wll be to employ the nterval that wll elapse between the present tme and the begnnng of the next sprng n plannng and executng measures by whch those portons of ther towns and ctes whch are nhabted by the poorest classes and whch from the nature of thngs most need purfcaton and mprovement may be freed from those causes and sources of contagon whch f allowed to reman wll nfallbly breed pestlence and be frutful n death n spte of all the prayers and fastngs of a unted but nactve naton.

24 We to THE NEW HYDROPATHC SCHOOL. Thk frst term of the new school was concluded about the mddle of Februay and the second term commences March 1st. About half of the members of the frst medcal class wll attend the second term and several of the students have entered for three full terms. Of course they contemplate profcenc not only n the ablty to practse the healng art on the sck but to teach the hygenc art to the lvng. We are happy to be able to announce that the second term wll open wth a stll larger class and that one half of them perhaps more wll be females and some of these are wves and mothers. Encouraged by the success and nstructed by the experence of the frst term Dr. Tral and assocates have provded ncreased facltes for medcal nstructon n all ts branches and wll hereafter devote stll more of ther personal tme and attenton to the class. Durng the ensung term the rregular Faculty wll be consttuted as follows THE WATER-CURE OURNAL O. H. Wellngton M. D. Theory and Practce and Obstetrcs Geo. H. Taylor M. D.

Postage on our ournals. To settle the qneston once more n regard to the legal postage on tls ouksal we publsh the followng letter from the Post Offce Department dated Appontment Offce anuary Gentlemen Tonrs of the 20th nst. accompaned by specmen numbers of your Phrenologcal and Wateu- CtruE ocenals and nqurng the legal rate of postage upon each s receved. The character of each so far as postage s concerned s the same. Each s a perodcal to be charged accordng to the weght of each copy wth an nnpad rate of one cent f ts weght does not exceed three ounces and one cent addtonal for every addtonal ounce or fracton of an ounce or to one half of those rates when the postage on t s pad quarterly or yearly n advance.

The hydraulc ram s a smple mechancal apparatus constructed upon phlosophcal prncples and s used very effectvely n rasng a porton of the water from a sprng or runnng brook above the level of ts fountan-head. The followng descrpton t s beleved wll be easly understood Suppose a water-ppe s lad along down the course of the stream through whch the water s requred to pass. The lower end of the ppe s closed and near that extremty s an orfce on the upper sde whch s opened and closed on the nsde by a pnppet-valve shaped somethng lke nverted barrel-bung. There s also another smlar orfce and valve openng outward from the man ppe and nto an ar-vessel. Now let both valves be closed. As there s then no means of escape for the water n the ppe leadng from the sprng t s brought to a state of rest. The valve openng nward s loaded so that ts gravty s greater than the pressure of the water at rest n the ppe t consequently falls nto the ppe leavng the orfce open through whch the water mmedately begns to rush wth ncreasng velocty untl ts momentum becomes such as to push up the valve to ts place n the orfce. The momentum of the water suddenly stopped n ts course s such as to lft up the other valve openng outward nto the ar-vessel through whch the water rushes compressng the ar nto a smaller compass untl the reacton of the ar s n equlbrum vs-th the acton of the water when the valve No. 2 falls back to ts place and prevents the water n the ar-vessel gong back agan nto the man ppe. The water n the man ppe then havng no escape s agan brought to rest v.-hereupon valve No. 1 falls down agan by ts own weght and the process s agan repeated. From the ar-vessel a dsclargng-ppe leads off to the upper story of a house or any other place where the water s wanted to whch pont t s dven by the elastcty of the compressed ar n the vessel. Of course the amount of water rased compared to the whole wll be n nverse rato to the elevaton of the dschargng pont above the fountan-head. The momentum of the blow forcng the water nto the ar-vessel when the valve closes was well llustrated at the tme the foutan was frst put n acton on Boston Common where t wll be recollected the momentum of the water w.as so great at the sudden stoppage of the et as to burst the ppes and deluge the Common. n our engravng s the sprng or brook C drve or supply-ppe from brook to r.am G dsch.arge-ppo convoyng water to house or other pont requred for use B D A E the ram the plank or other foundaton to whch the machlno s secured for use.
