A FEMALE PHYSICIAN.

The Auckland Herald, referring to Mrs Dr Potts, M,D„ who is now lecturing m that city, says “On presenting herself she created a very favorable impression. She has a matter-of-fact business way, which at once takes the audienee. Mrs Potts is evidently a lady of considerable culture, and displayed throughout the lecture a thorough perception of the subject with which she was dealing, and a vein of humor which lent an amount of animation to dry hard matters of detail with which she had to deal, which made the proceeding* doubly interesting, The first part of the lecture was necessarily of a general character, and had reference to the importance of men and women making themselves acquainted with the laws of health.

She' drew attention to and explained the different temperaments, and asserted that temperaments could be changed if they only knew how, and children could be more easily trained than adults. She protested against educating the head alone, and not the individual as a whole,

This excessive mortality may be prevented, and patients saved and cured under the care of friends and loved ones at home, if they will but use Hop Bitters in time. Read.
