miar to every matron in our land, and Physl-
clans often prescribe it in different forms tor a
variety of complaints. Tar, ALSO has been equal
lv noted for its virtues and some physicians,
whose fame is familiar to the whole country. have
gone so far as to declare that even Consumption
could be cured by that alone. In other hands,
again, it was nearly valueless. owing no doubt
to their ignorance in preparing and administer
ing t---a difficulty entirely obyiated by patient
experience and long experiment.
The extraordinary medicinal powers possessed
by these two substances are now, for the hrSt
time, combined and embodied in DIR. wis

nice chemical process, everything deletertouS or
useless is rejected, so that what remains is the

The Boston Courier thinks that the abo-
lltlon excitement Of the last two years is no
better than contagious disease and should
be treated as such. 1t remarks in this
wise:
"One Of the most interesting and instruc.
tive facts in the history OF the human race
is the recurrence, from time to time, Of Dis.
eased conditions OF the public mind, consti.
tuting moral epidemics, which infest society
with moral decisions, just as its phyical
condition is occasionally disturbed BY infec
tious or contagious distempers Whenever
one of these moral cpidemics seizes upon Tie
public mind, it becomes morbidly sensitiSHl
on some specific subject; it exhibits thc'
symptoms Of temporary deliriousness. The
prevailing sentiment in the eastern State, in
regard to the negro race, constitutes a
striking illustration of these intellectual.
epidemcs. and one which, in future timesf
will be looked back upon with the same
