One of the humanitarian movements of oul
times although little known as such, can hard
ly be over estimated In its importance upon
the well-being of our widely scattered com.
munities. The population of the American
States Ia in many sections 50 sparse, that skill
ful Physicians are hardly available to them.
Vast numbers of our people, are obliged 10
employ in sickness, such medical relief q they
can hear of from each other, or indeed any
they can get from any quarter. Hence arises
the great consumption of Patent Medicines
among us, greater by far than any of the old
countries, where skillful physicians are aocessi-
bic to all classes. Unprincipled men have long
availed themselves Of this necessity, TO palm
of their worthless nOstrums, until the word
has become synonyms with imposition and
cheat. One Of our leading Chemists in the
East, DIR. AVER, is pursuing q conrse 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 supplied to the world,
in convenient form, at low prices, and the
people will no more buy poor medicines in
stead of good, at the same cost, than they will
bran instead of -four. The inevitable conse-
quence of this 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 medicines, with those Of actual worth
and virtue, is franght with immense conse-
qucncc for good, 70 the masses Of our people.

exertions, the importance of immedi-
ately obtaining an insurance upon
their lives, If they have not already
done so. The annual expense of an
insurance of $1,000 Twenty to thirty
dollars) is not SO large but what most
men of industry and enterprise can
pay it, and the thousand dollars is
sure to be realized upon the death OF
the individual, and in some life insu.
rance companies the Investment will
prove better than money loaned al
ten per centum, even If the insured
lives to good old age. II an indi'
vidual has debts, and he pishcs to pay
them, by insuring his life he is certain
to be able to do so. If he has wife
and children, a parent, brother, sister
or other deserving friend, who is de-
pendent upon his daily toll. how mucf
