The Cesar of the Present Day.
THE GLORY OF CIVILIZATION.

Cesar has been characterized by Shak-
speare as "the foremost man of all this
world" Wejudge of men by different
standard now, for We have man much
greater than Cesar The triumphs and
glories of all the Caesars were as nothing
compared with the triumphs of Professor
Holloway. When "the great Caesar" was
dispatched to Gaul by the Roman Senate,
the first communication they received from
him was the epigrammatic announcement,
81 came, l saw, conquered" When
Holloway, under the influence of noble
philanthrophy, and guided by sound phi
losophy, entered.on his mission of happi
ness to man, his successes might we'll have
been recorded in the words, II came, /
saw, saved" Caesar, during his cam
paign in Germany, determined to rise up
with his army against the State; his first
step was to pass the Rubicon. A chaos
of bloodshed, wickedness and anarchy en-
sued, which the world has seldom seen
since then. Holloway, disguised and
shocked with the futility of the means,
commonly employed to counteract disease
and preserve health, set his energies to
work to devise a new and universal cura-
tive; his first step was to consult Nature.
Nature responded, andhis medicines scat
tered over the face of this broad and beau
teous earth, shed their blessings on suf-
fering myriads. and brought healthI to
countless homes from which otherwise.
peace and happiness would have forever
fed
When Caesar entered Rome in triumph,
the envious Marcelus exclaimed:
"W hat tributaries follow m TO Rome
To grace in captive bonds his chariot whe, H."
We all know how the imperial despot's
wretched prisoners were made prominent
feature of the savage ovations by which
his victories were celebrated. Mark how
the times have changed. Our Caesar re-
joices in no tributaries purchased with
teals and blood. Holloway S laurels have
not been bought by human slaughter and
desolated homes. His triumphs have been
triumphs over disease and death; and his
most valuable reward has been the prayers.
and blessings Of thousands of grateful
hearts with whom his name and fame have
become "household words"
Cassius, though one of Cesar's foes,
acknowledged his greatness when he said
eye Gods, it doth amaze me how should
So get the start OF this majestic world,
And bear the pa In alone"
But what hollow greatness was C8sar's
compared with Holloways. What cruel
end he had. He lived by the sword, and
died by the sword. He was murdered by
his "friends." Thus ended the career Of
the greatett ruler of the greatest republic
the old world and the old times have ever
had. But here in this new world and in
these later times we have a republic great
er, truer, purer than that of Rome in her
palmiest days. And here, too, we have =
new Caesar whose deeds and fame will be
compensated with its greatness, and
whose claims to the admiration and respect
of the world now and in future times do
not rest on the number of human beings he
has slain or the desolation he has made,
but on the number of human beings he
has saved, and the blessings Of health and
happiness which he has bestowed on hu-
manity in the discovery of his miraculous
remedies.-Boston Trdveller.
