Increased Rate Of Interest.

As il is generally conceded that few farms
will pay six per cent. interest on their cost,
an increase Of the legal rate Of interest
would certainly tend to depreeiate their
price. The farmer needs money at q lower
rate and not higher one. The same is the
case with most kinds Of business. In nine
cases out OF ten not one will warrant the
payment Of larger sum than six per eeut.
To increase the rate Of interest will only
add to the burden Of the debtor class. Ma
ny cannot pay six per cent and how are
they to be benefited by making seven or
eight the legal rate we cannot understand.
The borrowers in most of the States have
difficulty in procuring money, aud are nc
better off than in our State. The want of
the times is more money and lower rate
of interest. = Detarere RePaNicdn.
Il Is not che borrowers who want
higher rate Of intei est, but the lenders.
Six per cent. is as much as land will
bear, and as much as merchants, traders
and mechanics, can afford to pay. A
higher rate Of interest would produce
more baakrupts than we now have, for
mems necessities viii often compel them
20 pay higher rate of interest than
they can afford to pay, and loan thus
effected may postpone the crisis in a
mans affairs, for time; but renders
it all the more certain. Experience has
proven that six per cent. is enough for
the temporary use Of money in healthy
trade; if more he given, it puts in
jeopardy the solvency of the borrower,
and increases the risk of all his credi
tors, and thus works injury TO society.
II SIX per cent. will not satisfy the lend
or, neither would ten nor twelve. Av.
arice is not to be satisfied, but like the

is not the best for the body polite
Where wealth is more generally diifused,
there is the greatest amount Of prosper
ity and happiness. That community is
best off where there are not many poor
nor many rich, but where the great mass
enjoy moderate competence. Exorbi-
tant rates Of interest tend to disturb
this competence Of the middle class,
and therefore initiate against the gen
eral prosperity. The idea that money,
like water, will seek its level-that i,
will go wherever the highest rates Of
interest are paid, is true only in part

OUR METHOD OF TREATMENT.

The protruding part must be brought into
its proper place, then supported BY suitable
bandage or truss, kept in its place until the
aperture in the membrane or wall through
which II escaped, is thoroughly and well knit
together. This Is our theory Of the true cure
ted by hundreds of persons whom we have
cured. We are well aware Of the prejudice
manifested by the Medical Faculty against any
form OF treatment for the permanent cure Of
rupture, which excludes the use Of the knife,
unfortunately too many sufferers from rupture
have imbibed the same feelings, and believe
they cannot be cured except by surgical
operation, or obtain relief only by wearing
truss. To all such We would say that We are
willing and ready to enter into

TREATMENT OF RUPTURE

The only methods OF treatment adoptcd by
the Medical Faculty in eifrcting a cure Of rup-
lure - the use Of the truss or the kaife The hes;
medical works extant state that By the use ofa
well constructed truss 1t sometimes happens
that the rupture Of infants become radically
cured, but the same result, however, seldom
occurs at more advanced period Of life. 10
regard 10 the use OF the knife, the danger is 50
great, that the patient has but slight chance Of
recovering after leaving the surgeons hands,
Sir Ashley Cooper, Who was knighed for hi.
rare medical attachments, states that out Off
cases Operated on by him for rupture So
proved fatal. From record kept by DR.. Tur-
ncr, another eminent English physician, il APP
pears that out OF 5i5 cases reported, $50 proved
fatal. Here We have the confession Of the
ablest Medical talent that rupture in infants
may he cured by wearing truss one or iro
gears but ata more advanced age the same re-
suit seldom occurs, and By the use Of the knife
the chances for life or death are about equal.
Truly may the sufferer from rupture e1-
claim "ls there no Balm in Gilead, no hope
for permanent cure but the surgeons knife,
and must go though this world wearing
cumbersome truss 7" To which we answer
there is Balm in Gilead for hernial sufferers;
there IS no longer any necessity for wearing
truss life time, nor submitting to a surgical
operation in order to be cured.

THE ONLY RELIABLE CURE FOR

The only true way to cure Rupture Is BY re-
dueing the tumor, replacing or comprising
the intestine or organ protrudinR into is pro-

an adhesion of the broken edges Of the mem
brane through which the organ protruded.
But how Is this to be accomplished } asks the

THE CAUSE OF RUPTURE.

In some instance, the disease is congenla.
that is, accompanies the child at It's birth, Ia
other, aud a greater number Of cases il occur,
at a later period Of life, in consequence Of
some foreible effort, rs in lifting a beayy
weight, jumping, coughing, SC. Those occa-
pations In which the individual is exposed %
sudden violent muscular efforts predispo,e
strongly 10 the occurrence Of rupture; and ia
these enployments the tendency to the disease
e often greatly increased BY the iuiurioa,
habit Of wearing tight girths or belts round
the waist, which by constructing the abdomen
throws the whole pressure Of the abdominal
contents upon the region Of tho grous. The
male sex are far more liable To hernia than the
female. According to the statistic Of an emi.
nent French surgeon one man in thirteen, aud
one woman IN iiliy-two are subject to rupture.
