If it be true, as he affirms, that we possess the power of singling out any thought at pleasure, or of detaining it and making it a particular object of attention, then our ideas, when once in the mind, would not be subject to physical laws as he affirms, but to a law imposed by the will, so that a man might please himself in the selection and detention of his thoughts, as in the choice of the furniture of his house, or the cut and color of a garment.

Extensive pharmacological studies have shown that Hydralazine* (1-hydrazinophthalazine) is a promising drug in the treatment of hypertension (1-4). Clinical studies to date have confirmed its hypotensive effect and have indicated that in many patients the drug may be difficult to use because of its side effects (5-8). We began our study two years ago in an attempt to evaluate the hypotensive action of Hydralazine in a group of ambulatory patients. We were particularly interested in the side effects that were encountered early in the use of the drug and rather than discontinue it, an effort was made to circumvent or minimize these side effects by various measures. One of these measures was the use of Veriloid in combination with Hydralazine. We were gratified to find that not only were troublesome side effects ameliorated in some instances, but a more pronounced depressor effect was obtained with the combination of the two drugs.

We infer the existence of immutable laws in the operations of matter, from the constant succession of like events under the same circumstances.This reasoning applies with equal

Curiosity may be called the hunger and thirst of the mind. A desire to know the causes of events, and to trace their effects, adheres to every condition of life. It is manifested in children at an early period, while phUosophers have never ceased to push their researches into the phenomena of nature and the motives of human action, in aU ages of the Avorld. At the appearance of an epidemic, every one is ready to assign a cause; and after the lapse of years of conjecture and toil, physicians stiU continue their researches into the origin of the cholera.A war breaks out between nations-we straightway inquire the causes of quarrel, discuss, approve, or condemn the motives of the parties, deplore the consequent waste of Ufe, and aU its attendant evils.
