TUOMSONISM.

This is an ism which came into being
forty years ago. Its beginning was Obscure,
and few there were who heeded it, or took
note of its progress. But potent, even at
its birth, in grappling with, and overthrow
ing disease, as it advanced from infancy,
and It's virtues became more generally known,
1t clashed with the interest of some who
rose in their might to stranele the young
Hercules. If, for time, they partially
succeeded in staying its career, yet no ret
rogade movement ensued-bu, since its ar
rival at manhood, its strides have been colos-
sal. 1t has gone or conquering and TO con-
quer, and from Maine to the extreme South
and West, wherever it has been fairly tried,
there is, perhaps, neither city, town, nor
hanilet,-family, nor individual, that will
bear record against it.
Samuel Thomson, from whom Thom-
sonism takes its name, was born at Alstead,
New Hampshire, in 1869, aud is now resi-
ding in Boston, Mass. Endowed with more
than ordinary capacity, with an original
bent of mind, he saw early in life that to
rely on the received mode of banishing dis
ease, was to rest on a broken reed-and
thence turned his attention to the vegetable
kingdom, and sought there for the preserver
of health. He knocked, md twas opened
unto him. He commuued with the flow ers
and plants Of the field, and extracted from
them their spirit, and proved it the protec-
ting genius Of humanity till old age should
calmly fall asleep in death.
IL must be conceded that Doci. Thorn
son Is one of the master spirits of the age.
From the most humble beginning. and con-
suiting only the great book of nature, he
has founded system whose basis it has
been proved impossible to undermine
Both founder aud system have endured per-
secution, calumpv and basest ingratitude.
not only painful to contemplate, but alb
solutely appaIling-yet, fiom its infancy
the Thomsonian practice has been crowned
with unparalleled success. I, may in truth
be said of the author and his Practice
They have passed through the fercely ra-
ging furnace, heated seven times hotter
than it was wont to be heated, and have
come out unscathed.

scattering. Henry Bowen I47, and George
Turner lib, for Secretary.

and exposed situation. The Captain in-
formed US that when he found she was yo-
ing over he jumped into the mainsail,
which was then in the water, and called 70
his two sons to follow him, which they did.
His intentio n was to get to the main rig
ging, expecting that she would lay on her
beam ends, but finding that she continued
to roll over, he struck off from her TO pre-
vent being caught under the deck as she
came over. After she was bottom up he
swan to her, but was unable to obtain any
hold, there being nothing to cling to, and
the sea washed him repeatedly away. Dur
ing all this time he had to support his sons,
in part, and before they were picked up, by
fishing boat, which was luckily near, they
were all much exhausted the youngest
boy was, in fact, sinking, and was some
distance under water when got hold of, and
nsensible when brought on shore, but
recovered on the application of the proper
remedies.
The most singular circumstance in this
case is yet to be stated.-A passenger, who
was on board at the time, being to wind
wafd, as the vessel rolled over, got over the
railing on to her side, and actually, walk
ed on the bottom to her keel, wuhom ret
ting his feet, from whence lie was taken by
a Block Island boat, which was IA short dis
lance off when the accident happened.
The Revenue Gutter Vigilant, Lieut.
Tracy, Immediately went out to save the
vessel, and towed her in, back of fort VOL
colt, in her inverted position, where she was
righted, and then brought into our harbour
She has been pumped out, found to have
sustained but little damage, and sailed fol

-" in one thing every thinking man mu'i
aud will agree, for it adrnits Of no dispute
1t will be admitted as an axiom, namely
the Thomsonian practice has been diifused
through New England between II and 20
years, and still maintains It's credit; aud
every year 1t roots strike deeper, and its
branches spread wider and wider. Now
make any man of due reflection believe
That such practice could have spread so
wide among such discerning, inquisitiye
people as those of New England certain
~ are' without having discovered its nothing
ness-its worse than nothingne SIS, its vain
and nonsensical pretensions. The thing is
,impossible!" !" Without citing other testitno-
ny, it is sufficient to state that rhomsonism
is backed by the highes, and most unques-
tionable authority.
The Thomsonian practice has but recent
ly been extended to this Island and com
munity-with what success, those having
knowledge of its efficacy are judges. The
reports are indeed very favorable, and it is
said that the practice is rapidly extending
1t behooyes all to enquire into this matter
