A WARNING AND A MISREPRESENTATION.

PER ENNIAL MASSACRE.
WARNING AND A REcoMMEsDATIoN.
The mortality among children born in Amer.
lean cities, bears an mmeasurably higher ra-
ito TO the whole mortality than in any Of the
cities, even the most unhealthy, in the Eas-
tern Hemisphere. The deaths resulting from
improper medical treatment, and lack of
prompt attention and care, are higher among
the adult population in this country, than in
aEy other country, savage or civilized

be obliged TO acknowledge that through our
own oversight and carelessnsss, life has be-
come shorter and more uncertain among US
than with any other people? Let US pause
moment TO enquire how this awful mortality
is produced.
The women Of this country ore proverbial
for the implicit reliance which they place on
professional skill on all the diseases and all
ments 10 which they are subject For rea-
sons which we do not purpose here. to dis
cuss, the inevitable consequences is, that wo-
men are always i'll, or nearly so, and their
children, in whom the effects of that ilness
are perpe,uated, aud cons,itulionally affected,
SO that for them prolonged life, in majority
of cases is sheer impossibility, short of q
miracle. Again, the extremes of tempera-
lure in this country are so far apart, and va
ria,ions occur so suddenly, tina, without some
means of maintaining the system in we'll
balanced condition, that is, without some
means of preserving the blood pure, and keep
ing il a, an equitable degree of heat, stand.
ing good health is utterly beyond atiaip-
ment.
Then comes the momenious question,
where shall we obtain that grand "desidera-
tum" which is 10 aver. illness, or 10 remove
il in all these cases? Iunumerabe noslrums
have been proposed, and the more high
sounding their pretensions, the more com.

three Continents under obligation that have
never yet been pronounced inefficacious by
those who used them that have never yet
failed to benefit the sufferer are Holoway's
Pills and Ointment. This is no hIgh.fown
and exaggerated eulogy; il is plain State
ment of fact. We have no interest in putting

need no such equivocal recommendation as
that. We have an interest in the welfare
of humanity and so has he. He is cosmo-

thies are confined TO no cline or race. Ev-
cry man is his neighbor, and therefore he
feels bound 10 do good 10 him as far as he
can. And how can he render him better ser
vice than by beslowing on him the greatest
of all blessings-HEALrH. His medicines
have already met with most enviable ap-
probation in this country. But they cannot
be 10 widely diffused. Every man and wom-
an is liable TO sickness therefore every man
and woman should have these Pills for com
plants of the system, and this Ointment for
local Affections, such as wounds and sores.
Every family should be furnished with both.
How could better provision be made for the
year just begun than 10 provide against the
msfortunes Of i'll health and the thousand and
one other evils that follow in its train.-N Y.
