EAD, THINK AND DECIDE.
Ia The simple therapeutics of the patriarchal
era, whom herbs given "for the healing Of the ma
tons" were tho only medicines In use, find little
fayor with the medical profession Of tho present
day. Yet at that early period Of the worlds his.
tory tho ordinary term of human lifo was at least
manifest that tho stamina Of man has seriously
declined In the lapse Of ages.
It Is significant fact that, during this progress
Of human degeneration and decay, an immense
number Of powerful polsons have been introduced
into the medical repertoire, while the mild, veget.
able system of treatment, exclusively practiced
when the world was young, has been In great
measure abandoned by the medical profcssion.---
This II n curious cocidonce, aud IL suggests the
possibility of "a direct connection between the
physical deterioration Of tho species and tho
wholesale administration Of deadly mineral md

the diseases they have been prescribed TO cure.
One thing, ut least. IL certain, viz That the av-
erogc term Of human existence has been fcarfully
shortened since tho days when the vegetable
kingdom was tho only medical dspensary known
to mankind.

opo-half tho community fancy they can neither
be interpreted nor applied except by persons who
have been taught to elothe the living truths Of
science in the dead languages. II Is not to the
interes. Of ''lbe Faeulty" that tho theory aud
practice Of medicine should be simpliGed and pop
uIarised and therefore, the public conceive bu.
little light on tho subject from that quarter.

This fact being established. the next question IL

II is almost unnecessary to call the attention OF
dyspcptics to a medicine which is everywhere re-
recognized as the standard specific for Indigestion
In every town in tho United States which contains
drug store or n store in which drugs are sold, II
is known as a remedy for stomach complaints OF
every class, from simple hatulency up to the most
obstinate chronic torpidity of that most important
organ. Its anti-billous properties are also uni
versally understood and appreciated, and in the
West and Southwest t'le old Ague cures have
been generally abandoned. and this real chola-
gognc-which actually breaks up intermittent
fevcrs within n week after the first dose has been
ltakcn-adopted in their stead. In the ntermit-
tent fevers, so common in malarous districts dur
ing the fall of the year, II has proved equally cf
fcacous and it rnay be truly said that it COM
bnes in an equal degree the qualities of restora-
tive and n preventative.
1t is not alleged that Hostettcr's Filters are an
nfaIliabe panacea for all bodily Ills There never
was such a wonder and there never will be. But
that the tonic is the most efcacous and purest in
