Holiotray's Pills and Ointment t-"Messen-
gers o! Joy" Disorders of the Kidneys,
slone and Gravel In all diseases affecting
these organs, whether they secrete too much
or TOO little water, or afflicted with stone or
gravel, with aches and pains settled in the
loins over the regions of the Kidneys, more
benefit may be derived in twenty four hours
by the use of these medicines than would
be in six months by any other ireatment-
In bad cases if "a small po, of the Ointment
be rubbed on the small OF the back over the
kidneys it will quickly penetrate and give
instant relief; bot perseverance is nece'sa-
ry TO effect cure. Six or eight pills should
be taken nightly according 10 circumstan-
ces. A trial of these remedies will be at
tended with satisfactory results.

A Negro in Trouble.

South Easton has been. for come lime
past, afflicted with the presence of an i'm.
pudent, saucy, negro, who received rather
short notice to leave, on Monday He got
into an alteration with some white folks,
on Sunday evening, when he drew a pistol
and attempted 10 fire. The act was antici-
Pated. and before the gallant Henry Wilke-
son, (for such was the name he gloried in,)
could draw trigger, he found himself sprawl
ing in the gutter and receiving a vigorous
boot application from sundry pairs of that
article. After the party thought he had
been sufficiently chastised, they took him
before Justice and had him committed 20
prison. On Monday they agreed to COM
promise and lei him 90 free. provided ne
wonld leave The State Immediately. This
proposition the negro eagerly accepted and
in the afternoon he moved himself and

Ancient and Modern Medical Practice.

The rapid progress towards perfection
evinced in every branch of art and science
seldom witnessed in that anomalous body,
the medical profession, which clings with
the iron tenacity of superstition TO its effete
ard exploded traditions. This immobiIity
of action and opinion is selfevident from
the fact that few, if any, physicians are con
vetsani with the affinity existing between
disease and its remedy True they may
be familiar with rhe diagnosis of particu.
lar malady and prescribe for it from the
formula of their Manual" but in what
manner this medicine or combination of
medicines exercises a specific influence on
the disease is mystery 10 them-conse-
qnenily from first to last Ills little better
than game Of speculatioL. We have been
led 10 these remarks by the pernsal of
short article from late issue of the 'Lon
don Lancet" on the nature and treatment
Of disease-it instances the strong sound
common sense which pervades the system
established by DR.. Holloway about the dawn
of the present century. Says the "Lancet"
heads-ihe stomach and the blood, and no
matter under what form the disease s..indi-
Gated he treats either OF these sources with
his celebrated vegetable Plls-there is no
idle speculation here-the root of the dis
order is straighlway attacked and incon-
tinently exierminated. Indigestion is fre-
quetly accompanied by headache, bilious
ness. loss of appetite, and general debility,
indigestion is merely disorder OF the stom-
ach and 10 reach any of the above COM

of the digestive organs-in like manner
Scrofulous affections, such as Kings Evil,
Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Rheumatism, &C.,

DEDERTEtss.

Late English papers report the case OF soldier
of the lins who, having deserted three times, was
Mt last taken after a repose of two years ia civil
lie, tried by Court Martial, and sentenced to re-
ceiye fly ashes. He cried piteously for mercy,
but the terrible punishment was fully inflicted. At
the ninth blow he fell in q swoOn; the surgeon
ordered water, aud raised his eyeds, aud the blows
we're renewed; before the fall measure OF retribu-
ton was dealt the "cat broke, and he victim was
carried to the hospital, from which, if he ever
eIncrges, il will be as n wreck Of manhood. Such
discipline shocks us. We are apt to call it cruel
and brutal, aud TO think with sLudder Of heather
and savage fcrocities. We throw the shield OF liz
stncliye human sympathy over the imnge of man.
We feel the suffering OF the soldier almost us a
degradation of ourselves. IL is u function OF ad.
yanccd civilization to 10 very jealous of the physical
existence upon whose periectness and freedom 30
much depends.
Justice is not inconsistent with mercy, and
We arc not wrong in the instinct Of horror at
such ease NJ this. Yet the best sentiments
must always be measured aud tempered by occa-
sions. Prudence, in burniog house, or on a
raging lee shore, ia less virtue than a wee.
Graceful dalIisnce with mad dog or a maniac
is u gross injustice. The compliments of the
season to thieVing aud numbering Rebels reflect
no credit on their authors. We can thns SEQ 10
each fearful cut at the back OF this recreant
British soldier the expression Of that spirit OF
justice which is nowhere 30 abundant in good
fruits as In the military service of England The
