The Three Ages of the World.
THE ASTI-HUMDl'G AGE.

The world has had its golden age, its iron
age, and according to the Satirst its :. Age of
Bronze The present age has been dcsigna-
ted, par excellence. the Age of iiumhug. In
opinion, however. the era in which we live
has been very fatal to specially
your time-honored venerable. conventional
humbugs. To one Of thesc-the art of drug
ging people to death under the prctencc of
treating them according to the rules of mcdi-
cal science-ProfesSor Holloway has given the
comp de grace. In the first place he has simpi-
fed the pharmacopuia, by substituting for its
ten thousand nostrums two remedies. Pill
and an Ointment, which actually accomplish
cd all that the medical godtathcrs of said
nostrums promise in their name. but never
cause them to perform. The scrofulous. the
dyspcptic, the bilious, the fcver-rddcn, the
lame the rheumatic, the dclilitated, the
abandoned of hope and of the faculty, have
used them, have recovered, and ycjoicngly
testify to their health restoring properties.
The testimony is from the sick of all nations,
from the learned and the ignorant the rich
and the poor. the throne and the cottage fit
is not To he received as truth, then no evidence
direct or circumStantial is worth dot and
no man ought to he crowned with honor or
condemned for crime, on the aifidavits of vol
untary witnesses, however numerous or re-
spectacle.
but we cannot refuse our CrcIcnCc to state
ments founded on the personal experience Of
those who make them We cannot say to the
lame who walk the sick restored to health
and vigor, the multitudcs relieved from agony
and despair, ''you are in error, You know
not what you assert" We cannot help adj
hitting that those who languishcd and grew
worse under an avalanche Of drugs administer
cd by regular physicians and apnthccarics, and
who subsequently, recovered under Professor
Holloway treatment, were in urcd by the one
and cured by the other. Before we can deny
the truth of such an inference, We must adopt
the dogma Of Berkeley, the mctaphysician, and
declare that matter has no existence and that
all we suppose to be visible and tangible is a
mere phantasm. Not being prepared To sub
scribe to that theory we are bound to believe
that the decision of the world on the efficacy
of Holloway's medicines is founded upon inn
pregnable facts.-Gtasyow Saturday 'ost.
