made that Revocation, not ProstratiOn, is
the true Medical Philosophy. The intro

world to this great fact. The life-sustain-

and desponiing by an immediate and most
encouraging change. If the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; ii the liver is torpid, it is
reused and regulated; If the nerves are re-
Taxed, they are strengthened and restruhg;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put to fight, and hope and
cheerfulness return. In the face of the ex-

From every section of the country come tes-

What a Bostonian Thinks.

The Adams IN Y Visit0r speaks of an emf I
nent BOstonian who regarded an ADVERTISE
ment in a newspaper as a personal invitation
to call, and said: "While sometimes hesitate
about entering store the proprietors of which
have not thus sent their cards to my residence,
! always feel certain of b cordial welcome
from the members of an advertising firm"
The same paper adds: ''There is in this re-
mark an assurance Of one of the many results
of advertising. The trader and his calling be-
come identified, and the name Of the man Is in
separately connected in the mind of the public
with his merchandise. 1t may not be the very
day an advertisement appears that it bears its
fruit; weeks or months may elapse. and then,
when the want arises, the article to be OBJ
tanned Immediately suggests the advertiser.
This is the effect of general advertising when
persistently followed. A special class of adj
yertisements, where some novelty is announced
is more immediate. shrewd business man
once advertised a trifing article in q manner
which could scarcely prove remuneratiTe. His
neighbOrs expressed their regret at his folly
but he appeared contented. Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost of his
advertising, he attracted new class of people
to his store, and his shrewdness paid him in
very short time, for new eyes saw what he had
to offer in addition to the speciality advertised,
and new purses came under contribution to

THE WEIGHT OF WOMEN,S

CLOTHING.
A writer in Good Health says that the
average weight, all the year round, of
that portion of a wcman's clothing which
is supported from the waist is between
ten and fifteen pounds; and that if a
woman was sentenced to carry such a
weight about IN this way for a number of
years, for some great crime, the punish
ment would be denounced as an inhuman
one; yet thousands Of women daily en-
dure such a punishment voluntarily, be-
cause 1t is the custom, and because they
do not know the bad effects likely to fol-
low it. The writer earnestly counsels
women not to adopt an attire similar to
that worn by men, but to have their
clothing suspended from the shoulders,
by which dangerous pressure on abdomi-
nal muscles would be AVOIDED.
