N.B, Of all our medicines Carbo vegetabilis is, according to its symptoms, the most similar to the characteristic symptoms of yellow fever, as much so as Sulphur corresponds to the characteristics of Asiatic cholera. Hence each remedy respectively, when it can be given in time, is t)est <riven in the first symptoms of tliese epidemics, in order to reduce each case at least to a milder form — an immense advantage. It is worthy of note that charcoal would put an end to the spreading of yellow fever, if tlie excrements of each patient, and every corpse, were covered by coarse charcoal powder ; but whether the internal use of it will prevent the disease with individuals has not yet been ascertained.

Sulphur prevents Choi, asiat, with individuals, if the finest powder, called milk of Sulphur, is put into the stockings, so as to come in contact Avith the soles of the f"eet ; a pinch a day is sufficient to cause a gentle pouring out of sulphurated hydrogen through the pores of the ekin, all over the body, blackenin<r bright silver. But whether the substance which carries the disease is destroyed by it, has not been ascertained yet. C.Hg.
