YNHIS excellent medicinal compound was FIRST

and was then employed with great success in
expelling humors from the blood; but in 1913 a
medical friend who was quite celebrated as phYsi-
clan, especially In the treatment of humors, sug-
gested some important improvements, which were
adopted, and which has made it ESQ the people say)
the very best remedy for all kinds of humors known
to "the faculty" et1 ra.4 III 0
This preparation is composed entirely of yegeta-
bles, among which are Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock
Noble Pine, Mandrake and Bloodroot.
When the originator lived in New Hampshire, at
Goffstown Centre, for the space of thirty forty
miles around, and in Manchester particularly, the
Humor Doctor was well known and highly valued
for the numerous and wonderful cures which it ef.
fected. Though manufactured in large quantities,
the supply was frequently exhausted, and purchas-
ers had to wait for more to be made. In that re-
gion, some very severe cases of Erysipelas were
treated with, and they were cured Erysipelas
sores, or carbunces, those ugly, painful ulcers,
were entirely removed wherever this medicine
was faithfully used. So it was with Scrofula and
Salt-Rheum. The Humor Doctor cured them. o11

ADVICE TO NERVOUS PEOPLE
BILE neves are best soothed, not by indul-
gence, but by turning the mind resolute-
" in another direction. Many pass
through life without one close grasp of
their position or duties or even without
studying the best means ofatta1ning their
own desired ends Such are more likely
than any others to become victims of tyr
annical nerves, and are often grossly I'M
reasonable, from the habit of not using
their judgement Above all, real, earnest
labor will put to flight vast train ofner-
vous troubles. Few who are vigorously
pursuing life work of Importance are
greatly afflicted with nervousr ess these
few may often trace it to the lack OF
wholesome living and fresh air. A due
regard to the laws of health, an earnest
purpose in life and regular employment,
are the best preYentives for the evils o.

ORIGIN OF THE PEW SYSTEM.
hundred and seventy years ago an. elegant
Parish Church at Atherstone, England,
was, as all houses of worship had lbeen,
entirely open and available to all worship
ers, but it entered mind OF an elderly lady
that she would preferto know where to sit.
It was unpleasant to think that anybody
should be placed beside her. She accor-
dinghy begged to be allowed to put up a
piece of boarding to screen herself off from
the rest of the world. No sooner did
this appear than another wanted aparti-
ton, to enjoy, as her own, some particular
spot. Then an old gentleman thought
he would like to have some accommada-
reserved for him. This closing in of the
church for private purposes gave its inte-
rior such an irregular and patchy appear
ance, that it was presently resolved to
pew the whole building, which was ac-
cordingly done, a large share of the ex-
pense being betrayed by a family well
known in the neighborhood. And SO this
pew system has grown and grown on, I'm
til it has become ingrained in English
church life.

generation. We are gratifed at the informa-
tion that we were in error on this point, that
the monument is In course of construction,
and that II is likely to prove a credit to ths
city as work Of art. We have not desired to
convey the idea that we are opposed 10 mcnu.
ments, but we think that they are too often
commenced unadvisedly by few persons, who
fail to receive the support and encouragement
of the community at large, for the simple
reason that there Is no general interest in such
enterprises. No more appropriate ornaments
for our public grounds and edi6ces can be
found than monuments to the great men OF
the nation or State, provided that they have
genuine artistic merit to commend them. 1t
too often happens, however, as in the
case of the Washington National Monu-
ment, that such structures are COM
menced in haste, without counting the
cost, their projectors forgetting the
important fact that others are not as en-
thusiastio as themselves. With regard to the
Lincoln monument In this city, we are only
solicitous that 1t shall, for the credit of Phila
delphia, be put up within a reasonable time,
and that, when completed, it shall be such a
tribute to great mans memory as we need
not be ashamed Of. The gentlemen who have
the matter in hand are, we believe, actuated
by desire to do their whole duty in the pre-
mises. What has already been accomplished
towards the completion of the Lincoln monu-
ment the following letter will explain

FRIDAY, JANUARY l, 1869.
The Policy or the New Mayor.


TsIs morning the oath Of Office was admins
tered to the Hon Daniel M. Fox, and he en-
tered upoa his duties as Mayor of Philadel
phia. AS is usual IN such cases, he delivered
an inaugural address, which will be found
elsewhere. In that address we see so much
to heartily commend that we earnestly con-
gratulate him on the promises he makes OF
policy which, il carried out, will secure to him
the commendation Of every class Of citizens.
He carefully eschews politics, and devotes
himself entirely to the affairs of the city which
are of o kind to merit his official at
tention. If we can take the sentiments
he utters as guide to the administrative
rule during his term, we are relieved by the
pledge that the city will not be injured by
any substitution of the deputy sheritfs of Mr..
Peter Lyle for the present police force, bu!
she will have a class Of sober, respectful, and
diligent officers Of whom we may be proud.
This Mr.. Fox positively guarantees US,
and we believe that he will carry out
his professions. His remarks In regard
to the increase of crime are sadly true.
The city needs a thorough purgation of
rufianism, and that purgation must come from
the Mayors Office. The policy which he
favors with regard to finances also meets with
our cordial appreciation. 1t is prominently
the duty of Councils to economize; but when,
after all just reductions, there remain heavy
expenses, the tax rate should be such as to
meet the expense and not necessitate yet
larger payment in the future by funding an
nual deficiencies. II Mr.. Fox adopts in good
faith and with active energy the reforms he
favors, he will receive for himself universal
commendation. Irrespective of party, he will
in all proper actions receive from our hands,
and we feel convinced that he will from the
great mass of the Republican party, most
cordial support in the performance of his
duty and full credit for every worthy deed.
Nmay not be inappropriate to say word
In regard to the outgoing Mayor. Mr.. Morton
MoMiohael leaves the position he has filled for
three years with the hearty good fOellng of
every GLASS of our people, Tor the courtesy,
zeal, and honesty with which he has filed the
onioe. He has faithfully discharged the duties
of the post. He has presided over the city as
her representative with great credit to her and
himself. Genial AID warm hearted, he has
made the visits of those to whom Philadelphia
has extended her freedom rare pleasure,
while to the heavier labors Of his Office he has
carried q thorough acquaintance with the
needs of our city and an unimpeachable
honesty. In retiring to private life he has
both the respect and the affection of those
whose executive he has been.

The Frankness OF Dimmick and the
Reticence of Randall.
WE announced yesterday that the Hon.
Samuel J. Randall had been doing the Thir-
teenth and Fifteenth Streets Passenger Rail-
way Company the kindness to frank their
calls for meetings of the stockholders. AS
abusing the franking privilege has rushed
forthwith into print with an explanation, we
naturally expected Mr.. Randall to do the
same. We have not yet, however, heard from
the First District Representative on the
subject.
This reticence OF Mr.. Randall has a sinister
look, when we peruse the statement made by
the firm of "Dmmiok & Co.." of New York,
who were recently detected IN the aot of dis
tributing the circulars Of their publishing con-
cern under the frank Of Congressman Lincoln.
A more artless document has never fallen
under our notice. 1t appears that "Dimmick
x Co." were connected with a political or
ganization by which Mr.. Lincoln's frank had
been in constant use. When the recent cam
paign closed, large number of blank
envelopes were still on hand, and each of
them bore the frank of Mr.. Lincoln. "Dimmiok
& Co." thought it a pity to waste these magi-
cal envelopes, and, moreover, theirs "was
business that increased rather than diminished
the postal revenue, their publications being
sent in large degree through the mails, and
every circular cent tending to increase the
demand and benefit the department" For
this reaeon 'Dimmick L. Co." think they
"oertainly must claim exemption from the
serious charges made by Mr.. Lincoln. II
the same principle were TO be applied to the
business Of every publishing house in the
country, we might, OF course, expect the post
Office revenues to take such rapid strides by
way of increase that the heavy deficiency
would disappear, and handsome yearly sur
plus take its place more consummate spe-
cimen of unblushing impadence we have
never encountered. Gentlemen of the Senate
and House OF Representatives, there is but
one way in which you can flank such enter
prising firms as that of 'Dimmick Co.
abolish the ranking abuses by abolishinl
the franking privilege IN toto.
