One Of the humanitarian mOUements of The
times although little known as such, can hard
ly be over estimated in its importance upon
the well being OF our widely scattered COM
munites. The population of the American
States is in many sections so sparse, that
skllful Physicians are hardly available to
them. Vast numbers of our people, are
obliged to employ in sickness, 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 Med.
icines among US, greater by far than in any of
the countries, where skillful 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 imposition
and cheat. One of our leading Chemists in
the East, DR.. Aver, is pursuing course
which defeats this niquity. He brings not
only bis own but the best skill of our times
to bear, for the production of the best rene.
dies which can be made. These are supplied
to the world, in converient 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 in.
evitable consequence Of this is, that the vile
compounds that food our country are discard
ed for those which honestly accomplish the
end in vew,-wbicb cure. Do we ever esti.
mate its Importance, in believing that this
prospect OF supplanting the by-word medi
cines, with those of actual worth and virtue
is frought with immense consequence for good
to the masses of our people, Gazette and
Chronicle, Peru, Ia.

EOPATIIY.

Among the inventions and improvements with
which the day is so rife, that mady by Professor
H umphreys is not among theleast. With all the
superiority of the Homeopathic System of Medi-
cine over that of the old sch ool in its freedom
from danger and the ease and pleasantness with
which its medicines may be taken or given to
children, it still remained an intricate system for
the people to use. From the fact that single
medicine is given at dose, and each applicable
to only certain symptoms, a large number of
medicines and large book of directions became
necessary in order to their use. And what is
worse, these directions are of the most nice and
discriminating character so that often the longer
one looked and studied, the more puzzled he
became, nor could any amount of learned lumber
in the way of Domestic Manuals, explain the
matter.
At this precise point the discovery of Prof
Humphreys comes in. He ascertained, from
repeated experiments, what had been before de.
MED, that certain medicines in this system might
might be harmeniously combined in single
remedy which possessed, in good part, the ad
vantages of each of its ingredients and upon this
principle forms a series Of Specific Remedies for
each of the more common diseases or ailments
With these all uncertainty and embarrassment
in giving the remedies is avoided, and they may
be properly administered by any person of ord.
nary intelligence. His improvement is certainly
valuable, and one which throws the benefits of
this beautiful and efficient system into the hands
of the people, and must prove blessing to thou.
sands. His Specifics are spoken of in high terms
by those who use them, and we can readily con-
ceive must prove valuable addition to the COM
forts of family.
