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.
