From the New York Herald,
nOCTOR GREEN, of Reading, PennsyIv
- MIA, founder of the. cold water system as O
| remedy against intemperance, sayeth:
That much Of the drt Of Physic consists in kno,oing
phen not TO gire il.
Nothing more true than the want of this knowl.
edge, and the want Of knowing when not TO Civ,
than good to hundreds and thousands of peopl,
! throughout the world.
His method is founded on the laws of nature and
on scripture, which sayeth "theres a time for al
| things" Consequently, there's time for physic
as well as for other things Truly is there.
This doctrine, founded on the laws of God, be.
ing superior and going before the laws of man
enable the man to do what he otherwise could not do
Enabeth the farmer to give seed to the EARTH bu,
| kind Providence giveh harvest So, on similar
principles enableth the physician to give medicine
to the sick-but that same kind Providence givetf
health. Let US be thankful.
The doctors discovery of a new and easy mode
Of giving health to the sick, and, at the same time
not preventing them from living usual is gaining
ground and fast spreading over the world-bringing
to him, in return, applications from distant lands
through letters as well as through personal appca
tons.
| We could enumerate many cases of sickness tina
have yielded to his principle of cure, both from
foreign and neighboring countries and also some il
| our own immediate neighborhood, particularly one
of female who resides near Nazareth, and, If W,
mistake not, is member of that exemplary ant
praiseworthy society denominated Moravians.
| She was sorely afflicted for number of years
and part Of that affection mental alienation,
sickness causing dreadful distress both Of body ant
mind.
| She was placed under the direction and care o
several eminent medical men, who treated her &C
cording TO the old medical school, which terminated
without success
| AGoruords che xt,os rlocaI md he ~,
treated according to the new doctrine prescribed b,
the medical man named at the head of this article
and which terminated in success
This new doctrine has restored her to health an,
happiness, and to the hopes of family friends ant
| relatives.
| N. B. His principle Of cure restores hearing an,
eye-sight.
1t is done without putting, anything into the ear
or eyes, Of course, no danger whatever can happe
to them; for the putting of thingS into them, as OF
people do, has been the ruin Of hundreds and thou
sands of people.

NEW MINISTER TO RUSSIA.

Among the appointments made by the President,
and confirmed by the Senate on Saturday last, is
that OF the Hon. Ralph Isaacs Ingersol, of Connec-
ticut, to be minister to Russia.
Mr.. Ingersoll is among the most able and accom-
plished of our public men, and his country will have
in him valuable and faithful representative at St
Petersburg For some years past, MIR. lngersol has
refused all public employment, and devoted himself,
with great assduity to the profession, of which he
is an ornament. At early period Of his life he
engaged actively in public affairs, and was at one
period, speaker of the House of Representatives in
the legislature of Connecticut. In 1926 he was
elected to Congress- and took his seat in the House
with the President, with whom he was associated
during portion Of his congressional career, as one
Of the Committee of Ways and Means He was
continuously re. elected until he declined, about
twelve years since, being candidate; and has since
refused accepting any Office, though at no moment
has he lost his interest in political effairs. He has
frequently been a member of the democratic State
conventions in Connecticut, and presided over their
deliberations; and was a member of the Baltimore
convention in 1874. Our political friends in Connec,
ticut have frequently solicited him to consent to be
candidate for governor, but he has uniformly de-
cined.
He has been an active coadjutor with Senator
Niles, Gov. Toucey, and others, in the severe pot
cal struggles, and varying fortunes Of parties in thai
closely contested State, for thirty years Few mer
possess sagacty, greater tact, and more
amability of character. 1t doubtful whether the
President could have made more udicious selection
for this distinguished post, than Mr.. lngersoll.
