ns. Sarcognomy, on
the contrary, embraces the entire mass of cerebral functions to
connect them with corresponding functions in the body. It presents in
one complete view the psychic powers in the soul operating in the
brain, and extending their influence into the body; and on the other
hand, the physiological powers of the body, operating through the
brain, and by definite, intelligible laws acting upon the soul--a vast
system of science, based on anatomical facts, but evolved by
experiment, to which no single volume could do justice. Its medical
applications alone, concisely presented in thirty lectures, would make
a volume of four hundred pages.

It is not, like the phrenological system of Gall, a mental doctrine
only, but, combining psychology, physiology, and pathology, goes to
the foundations of medical science, of health, disease, and cure, as
well as the foundations of all spiritual science, and originates new
systems of magnetic and electric practice. It is manifest, therefore,
that no biological discovery now on record occupies more than a
fraction of the vast area occupied by Sarcognomy, and being a
demonstrated science, in the opinion of all who are acquainted with
it, it needs only sufficient time to circulate the works upon the
subject now in preparation (the first edition of "Therapeutic
Sarcognomy" having been speedily exhausted), and sufficient time to
overcome the mental inertia and moral torpor that hinder all progress,
and even war against the million times repeated facts of spiritual
science. The warfare against all new truth will be continued until the
people demand that our colleges, the castles of antiquated error,
shall conform to the spirit of progressive science.

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.

The BUSINESS DEPARTMENT of the Journal deserves the attention of all
its readers, as it will be devoted to matters of general interest and
real value. The treatment of the opium habit by Dr. Hoffman is
original and successful. Dr. Hoffman is one of the most gifted members
of the medical profession. The electric apparatus of D. H. Fitch is
that which I have found the most useful and satisfactory in my own
practice. Bovinine I regard as occupying the first rank among the food
remedies which are now so extensively used. The old drug house of B.
O. & G. C. Wilson needs no commendation; it is the house upon which I
chiefly rely for good medicines, and does a very large business with
skill and fidelity. Th
