enjoying the Imperial favor, besides the many
practitioners in private families, and especially
among the higher orders. There is hardly city
now in all Germany which has not fully occupied
Homeopathic practitioners ; and the recent es-
tablishment of hospital in Berlin is very i'm
portant fact, because that city has always been
the seat of the most inveterate Allopathlb.
Even in England, the land of calomel, blsters,
and bleeding, the Homeopathic system has been
succe ssfnlly introduced by Drs Qun and Curie,
and hospital in London is constantly crowded.
Upon comparing the statistics of several Ho-
mDopathic hospitals,it appears from official state
ments that the mortality in them is not quite five
in hundred, whereas observe from the statis-
tics Of Allopathic hospitals, that the mortality
there is eleven in hundred. This glaring differ
ence well authenticated, has attracted great nun
bers of old school physicians 10 ''walk the Ho-
mnopathic hospitals and watch the treatment
which has had the effect of inducing many of them
to study the new system and forsake the old
The public too have been impressed by these facts
and the number of patients daily falling off from
the old school practitioners are in consequence,
very great. Each hospital has now a considera-
Bile number of medical students attached to itand
also professors who give regular courses OF lee
lures Besides this, the universities of Jena,
Freiburg, and Zurich have for medical professors
the Homeopathic physicians Martin. Weber and
Arnold. The most distinguished in Germany,
are DIR Rau, in Giessen, Dr.Noack in Leipsig, and
Muhlenben in Brunswick The latter celebrated
last year the fftieth anniversary Of his medical
practice For thrty-three years he practised up
on the Alopathic system, and became very dis
tnguished in his profession, acquiring not only
a very hamsome fortune, but honors too, and was
raised by his sovereign, TO the dignity OF body
physician, was knighted and appointed medical
counsellor. In 1899, having attained this emf
nence, and to use his own word, having convinc-
ed hmselfof the falacy and insp6iciency of the
Allopathc system, he turned his attention to
homeopathic works, and soon discovered upon
diligent study and experiments upon his patients
the superiority of the new system. Since then,
thus for seventeen years, he has practlsed HomGo-
pathia w it'll brilliant success According to his
own statement, amongst his patients under AL
lopathic treatment, the mortality was six pei
cent, and under Homeopathic, one per cent
This instance of the many cloud bring for
ward, is direct blow to the assertion of some
enemies to homeopathic, that none but very in
ferior physicians, who can get no practice in the
old school, take up the new system.

Good effects of the Bankrupt Law,

The New York Evening Post, in commenting
on the small number ofapplications for the hene-
fit of this law on Wednesday, remarks:
''The fewness of the applications may be in
part accounted for by the fact, that many per-
SONS who had spoken of taking the benefit
of the act, entered into compromise with
their crditors. One gentlemen of the bar,
who had been engaged to present twenty appli-
cations, found that sixteen Of his clients had made
arrangements with their creditors before the law
took effect.

THE SUPERSUMERARY MEMBERS. The loco To-
cos in our Legislature have got into rather an
un pleasant dilemma. For political effect last
Summer it was thought expedent to denounce
the apportionment law of last session as unconst-
utonal, monstrous, every thing that was bad
Their newspaper writer's, especially in York and
Oxford, agreed in this, and excted their political
friends to such degree that in some ofthe " dis
franchised towns" meetings were held and men,
bers chosen to the Legislature, who expected to
get their seats of course if their party had maor-
ity. This had a fine effect last September but
it makes some trouble now. Those who raised
this breeze did not intend to carry the joke so
far. They only intended it sort of ''tea and
and coffee " business, to gain votes by temporary
deluson and excitment. They did gain some
votes These they wanted. And they gained
three supornumerary members from Oxford
These they did not want at least for any other
purpose than to get an Oxford Speaker, for all
these men were political veterans.
