THE SWELL HEAD DISEASE. this dreadful disease- sometimesattacks orses, and probably, other aniinals, as monkey* and jackasses; and some birds As the parrot and mocking bird. But Inen are more subject to it, aud with 'them it is more fata'. CAUSE.--Vacuity in the crannm. It js often augmented by flattery, especi­ ally when the cerebrum is small and ill Shaped. Men of large information, liowever, are somtimes afiicted with it, in which case there is found an inordi­ nate swelling in the. upper region of the head just back of the uapeX cranls" (top of the head.) The protuberance is called self-esteem. SYMPTOMS.--The poor creature usually fancies himself the biggest, smartest, best and handsomest man in the crowd--loves "uppermost* seats in tlie synagogues" --is given to impu­ dence, impertinence, and usually bad manners in company--is censorious and fond of finding and exposing the foibles ofhis associates--has few friends and no lovers, and has generally a bad order to polite and well bred people--given to swelling and struttiii^, as if in one moment he fancied himself a toad, and the next a turkey cock. He i,s energetic and passionately fond of high sounding titles, as 'Squire, Captain, Colonel, General &c. The miserable patient is sometimes so infatuated as to atteriipt to stride the'ocean or jump over very high mountains. These are only a few of the symptoms of this malady, but enough to identify it. TREATMENT.--When it is caused by emptiness of the cranium, it is only necessary to fill up the vacuum with good ideas, a solid education of com­ mon sense. When induced by diminu­ tive ness, or maliformation of the brain, the cure is slow and difficult. We have known some cases which defied every rtmedy and destroyed the patieuts. A cure must be atte mpted by exercising and cultivating these faculties which are deficient, such^ as the judgment and the understanding, and depleting •elf esteem, &c. The skulls of these patients are usually very thick and hard, so that it is hard pounding "any­ thing into them, but they are exces­ sively fond of soft soap--give them a pound or two every day, aud it will soften the skull so that you can proba­ bly get a little gumption into it, or a medicum ratocination, and they will soon be well. When this will not cure, Soft soap will palliate. In the case of those gentlemen from ten to twenty years old,who get putting on the boots aud pantaloons of their fathers, and to teaching their teacher, reproving counseling, and sometimes insulting old age, chewing tobacco smoking cigars and drinking whisky-- swearing and cutting the swell head generally--appetite for late hours, bad company and bar rooms veracious--a little birch 'applied by the paternal hand, is the best remedy: Then keep them out of the night air and bad weather. If this does not effect a cure by'the divine blessing, the head grows and grows, till the poor sufferer topples over a few times, and knocks out half his self esteem.--Louisiana Press. 1©-It passes in the world for great­ ness of mind to perpetually giving and loading people with bounties, but it is one tiling to know how to give and another thing to know how to keep. Give me a heart that^is easy and open, but I,will have no hole in it; it must be bountiful in judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
