SrArIsrIos OF LIFE AND DEATH-FIGURES
DO NOT LIE.-We have faith in statistics.
They give the death blow to all false doctrine
aud empiricism in science, and blow sky-high
the fine spun theories of impractical men.
Medical statistics are of special Importance.
They teach us to estimate at their just value
the curative poWerS Of The drugs, which are
the stereotypes of the profession" And
what is their value? Figures which do not
lie, show that in all dangerous complaints the
Irregular practice" of the faculty" loses at
least as many as it saves. But then, the doc
tors tell us that those who die are ''iucura-
bles." If this be so, how is it that so many
victims of the most virulent internal and ex-
ternal disorders, whom the profession had
gwen up, have recovered through persever-
ing use of Holioway's pills and Holloways
ointment? There can be no doubt about the
fact, we opine, and we want somebody to ac-
count for it. To our plain mind, it appears
that if chronic dyspepsia cannot be cured by
the doctors, and as cured with unerring GER
tainty by Holloway's pills, that the latter rem
edy is worth the whole medicinal stock of the
faculty, as means of relieving that COM
plant. So again, if ''given up" case of
scrofula or cry sipelas becomes rapidly con-
valescent under the action of the ointment, we
cannot escape the conclusion that it is the
true specific for external disorders, and that
the Irregular pharmacop9cia' contains moth
ing that will compare with it as means of
subduing that class of maadies.
This is good logic, we believe. If any ca.
vii at it, we will admit their demurrers when
they can show us better basis for argument
than facts.-iState Gazette.
