| ny One of the Humanitarian movements
of our times. although little known as such,
can hardly be over estimated inits importance
upon the well-being Of our widely scattered
communities. The population OF the Amer
| lean States is in many sections so sparse, that
| akillful Physicians are hardly available to
| them. Vast numbers of our people, are oblig-
| ed to employ in Sickness such medical relief
| as they can hear of from each other, or indeed
| any they can get from any quarter. Hence
arises the great consumption of Patent Medi-
cines among us, greater by far than in any Of
| the old countries, where skilful physicians are
accessible to all classes. Unprincipled men
have long availed themselves Of this necessity
to palm off their worthless nostrums until
the word has become SYNONYMOUS with i'm
position and cheat. One of our leading Chem
lists in the East, Dr. AVER, is pursuing a
course which defeats this iniquity. He brings
not only his own but the best skill of our
times to bear, for the production of the best
remedies which can be made. These are sup
piled to the world, in convenient form, at
low prices, and the people will no more buy
poor medicines instead Of good, at the same
cost, than they will bran instead of -FOUR
The inevitable consequence of tins is, that the
vile compounds that flood our country are
discarded for those which honestly accomplish
the end in view,-which cure. Do we over
estimate its importance, in believing that this
prospect Of supplanting the by-word medi-
cines, with those of actual worth and virtue,
is fraught with immense consequence for good,

THE ART OF SAv1NG.-Benjamin Franklin,
in his writings tells us that "Poor Richard"
declared tan ounce Of prevention was worth
a pound of cure" and the dear good old man
was right. tie, Poor Richard, would insist
upon mending everything as soon as it was
broken, and thereby saved much trouble and |
less from enlargement of the injury. One day |
a witty woman said to venerable Quaker, |
noted for his strenuous adherence to the prin-
ciples of "Poor Richard"
"You are always for mending and patching,
and yet in spite of your doctrine, that "a
slit h in time saves nine," FL lay you some
thing pretty, that rent or a hole will wear
tavice as long as patch"
even so, my good dame, /" replied the Qua
ker, "but garments with patches will wear
thrice as long as with rents or hole"
What would Poor Richard or Benjamin
Franklin have said if Spalding's Prepared
Glue had been in existence during their time?
1t is certainly the greatest eoonOmiser ever in
troduced to the public, and its remarkable
tenacity makes it reliable method of saving.
If you have broken looking-glass, bedstead,
table, chair, basket moulding or in fact any
article Of ornament or Of use that glue would
adhere to at all, this new preparation will re-
Join the broken parts firmly, forever. 1t is
contained in neat little bottles, free from smell
and alaoays ready for immediate use. Among
all the thousands Of families who take the
Pictorial, there is not single one who does
not this moment stand in need of bottle of
Spalding's Prepared Glue.
