could not be met by corresponding increase
in subscription rates as th1t step would place
the paper beyond the reach OF many Of our

we do not propose to cuftsil the amount oi
reading iaatter--hence i,s value TO tie ieaeer

The DIR. is regular graduate of one of the
best medical schools in the United States, and
stands nigh in his profession as a physician, ard
has had an experience of some twenty years in
practice But his reputaiionis too well knewn to
noed recommending. He discards all poisons-
making use only of innocent and efectual RENE

facilitating, but bracing-and consequently pa
ticnts are not deprived of doing moderate labor.

he cannot benefit them, he will tell them so, as it
is no physicians interest to deceive his patients.
