frend tried a Corn Eradicator, and it took off
rho corn as per advertisement, but omitted to
leave the toe it grew on. Every man his own
LAWYER, sounds sweetly, but each copy of this
work assures to its economical owners about
two lawsuits; and so on through the thousand
and one humbugs that pretend to make of very
ordinary men admirable C,ftchtOns. But of
III these uuisances the most dangerous is that
hound ernphatically in calf and entitled the
oFamily Physician" Strychnine, gunpOwder,
and camphene lamps are comparatively HARM
less bg the side of these fatal humbugs. Civ
on. one of these books, large family, and an
old woman, and then look for mysterious visi-
,atious of Providence. The woman who would
not trust herself to cut her husbands hair, or
her chidren's teeth, will not hesitate in the least
n Give them the most deleterious drugs, or the
most poisonous minerals, until the stomachs of
her patients become laboratories to whose con-
tents the witches cauldron in Macbeth is a
sayOry and health-giving potion; and when the
oyerdosed victim dies its body is like drug store
closed up by the Sheriff. Just at present Ne
yada has about as many of the medical profess
sion as our two undertakers can attend to; but
and every mans medicine against himself as
well as against his neighbor, what chance is
left for poor humanity. An illustration OF this
occurred a few days since in this place. One

closet box containing thirteen pills. Being
of an economical turn she would not throw
them away, and concluded to borrow one of the
aforesaid Family Physicians and see if that
would not suggest some mode of working these
pills into her family. AS the result of her re-
searches she found the symptoms of seven dis
eases in herself and six in her little girl, for
each Of which pill was the remedy, and
forthwith she applied to egch symptom, and IN
one dose, the thirteen pills. AS result, both
mother and child got quadruple dose of mer-
curry, were salivated within an inch of their
lives, and if they live at all will be apt to remem-
Der the old maxim of "eyery one to his own
trade."
