MEDICAL ULTRAISM.

IF there were health in a multitude of
of medical systems as there is said to be wis
dom in a multitude of counsellors, sickness
would be unknown in this age of so called
pathological discoveries. The homeopathists
tell us that the salvation of our lives in sick
ness depends upon infnitesimal doses and
infinite dllutlon the hydropathists profess
to rain health upon us from shower baths, or
soak disease cut of us with wet blankets
while a still newer set of exclusives propose
burying us up to the armpits in the earth
putting both feet in the grave as it were, by
way of saving our lives! Then, we have
Sangrados, who are all for bleeding, blister
ing, and low diet; and mineralists, who be-
lieve in nothing but mercury and it's oxides.
1t happens, unfortunately, however, for all
these theorists that they can show no practi-
cal proof Of the assumed infallibility Of their
| methods of cure, Not SO Professor Holloway,
: who has really inangurated a new era in the
/ history of the healing art, and whose medi-
clnes for the last twenty years have annually
I rescued tens of thousands from impending
r death. This is no assumption, but a fact
l verified by the ~unimpeaehable evidence Of a

e central Offices in London and New York, con-
IS tain more than half a million of manuscript
certificates, authenticated in the strongest
manner, and placing beyond the possibility
e Of doubt the infallibility of his Pills and

every country to which the pioneers Of civil

their way, ring with the fame Of these all
conquering remedies. There is no written
T. language in which he cannot produce testi-
monials of their efficacy, no printed one in
re which they are not advertised and recon-

ed a great commercial staple, and the number
of agencies for their sale amounts to tens OIL

Professor Holloway, whose comprehensive
mind is the motive principle of this immense
system of popular dispensaries is now in thi'

is at New York, and there is no newspaper
in the Union that has not endorsed his pre-
parations no city or town within the sam
limits, where they are not known and appre
cd ciated. These facts speakfor themselves, an
