Advertising a Moral 1uty.

Some years ago II Eas proposed by an
Am etiea4 Physician lhat members - the
Faculty saaJid advertise their remedies

,ysg,lper5. L. was a bold and inaaiy
ia II WIS secuted, however, by the
profession generally, as IsFRA DIG. BaL
IS there auy degradation il publicity. IS
it lot rather the great toachstone that ties

IL benefits Of al valuable inventions and
discoveries Should moi profession that
aims at the mitigation Of suffering and
ne preservation Of life, make the means

eine5 to Do So the natural inference -
either that the desire OF secresy ARISES
from a so,did, nonopollzing, egotlst,c
snlrit. or from lack Of faith III It's own
prescription.
Viewing the subject in this light, We
may presume that Professor Holloway
some - years ago, overleaped the bar
riers wh.cl the profession had erected
between itself and the public, and plung-
"a fcarlessiy into the newspaper arena
He had discovered or rather invented, al
ter years Of research and experiments,
two preparations which he believed to be
specifics for nearly all the diseases of
mankind; and an indication Or his
confidence III them, and a proof Of his
philanthropic wish that, if really valuable
they should b, accessible to the whole
world, he advertised them wherever adj
ser,ising media existed. This was the
seyerest ordeal to which he could have
submitted them-the experimentum cru
cis. IL then threw them at once, as It
were, before the sick of all regions. He
stated their properties, proclaimed what
they would do, and staked reputation and
fortune upon the issue. That issue has
been al that he or the world could lave
desired. The rich and the poor, the
learned and the ignorant, physicians,
statesmen, monarchs, a nation of eniight-
.nad freemen, have sanctioned, used, eX-
toiled them. They are fixed facts in med
ieui history!
Is not this better than hiding light un-
der d bushel2 Is it not better than wri-
ling prescriptions IN dead language aud
putting weights and quantities into hero
sIyphies.
Il anything is worth knowing il is wor-
thy Of being universally known. So
thinking, Holloway proclaimed the VIZ
tues Of his medicines through the press;
and fortune, fame and the gratitude of
millions have been his reward.-N. \.

To PRESERVE TREES FROM MIcE-
Mr.. David Gray, Of Deerfeld, Oneida

chards, recently informed me that for the
last two or three years he has used avery
simple preventive against the girdHug
propensities q mice. which has succeed
ell Iii every case. lie adds one pound Of
tailow % two quarts of common tar, melts
and mixes thoroughly, and applies while
warm with paint brush 10 the trunks Of
his young trees, from the ground as high
up as he thinks there IS danger Of their
beng gnawcd. H makes the applica-
ton just before winter Sis lii; any time
ate IN the fall viii answer. This simple
application he finds entirely successful,
for while his neighbor5 have suffered
largely from mice, he has not lost a tree.
II IS very confident that common tar thus
mixed and applied mas no injurious effect
upon the trees.
Mr.. Gray's plan commends itself for
lis simplicity, and if ii proves as success
full with others as il has with him, of which
have no doubt if properly applied it
viii prove Of great value to those who
