Oppida ne CALCA VALLAta ad praelia, quoerens, Sisonitum capias ecce tibi est Volupe. Dum lucet CLARE Te magis iste trahat. _Literary Gazette_. * * * * * MALARIA. Dr. Gregory, father of the late celebrated professor in Edinburgh, when a student in a part of Germany where _malaria_ prevailed, from being a philosopher and living low, _drinking only water_, was seized with intermittent fever, when his jolly companions, who ate and drank freely, escaped. If brandy or other stimulants are taken previous to exposure to malaria, intermittent fever is generally prevented. Such are the opinions of the doctor, and if Dr. Macculloch be right, we suggest the establishment of a brandy vault at each angle of the parks, that every passenger may prepare himself. * * * * * LORD HOWE |
