Drug house. 1t will be seen per supplement

ERRATA:-In the supplement which we
issue to-day several errors appear. Where
the "CaliSaya bark and pyrophosDhate of
iron" are spoken Of, an 'r' takes the place
of an "S" in the word Ceases, ard Entropics
is printed for EutropicS, in the paragraph
which treats of the ctrn:,oun syrup of SIr-
saparilla. And for :, '',h,n,n:ss," in the hair
tonic, il should zeal go>sineSs.' 1t is
scarcely necessary to correct through this
medium other thar, literal errors, as The intel
ligen; reader who is at all convcrslns with the
character Of printing, not only readily over
comes typographical inaccuracy, but can
understand the variety Of causes. which at
times, lead to the preparation Of error in a
business SO complex as printing.

a Wnnn To THE CoLoREp PEoPLE--In
the bills Of mortality of all The papers that
we read, We find that the death rates among
the colored people arc largely in excess of
rte white people. This is owing to Il variety
Of causes which we will not now discuss
The point that We wish 10 arrive at is: That
it would be well, we think, for the, colored
people to assure or insure their health and
preservation, so far as human wisdom and
medical skill arc concerned, by forming a
society or societies, and cac.. Individual men,
Der contributing (monthly) certain amount
of money to create a fund to pay for the ser
vices of 8 physician. We present the idea
crudely. But we presume its significance
will readily be seen. The cdored folk are
poor (she larger number) and the physicians,
like everybody else, are poor and it cannot
be expected (although nc, class Of men do |
greater amount Of charitable work than the |
doctors) that they should work for nothing |
and keep themselves. So by each colored
person contributing small amount stately, !
which sum is placed in the hands of one of
their number in whom they contide, TO be |
paid over to some one of our able physicians,
with whom, we have no doubt. a relation of |
this kind might be formed, their minds are
freed from the corroding care which must
inill them when they think of the possibil-
tiles Of long sickness and no funds to pay
the doctor for his time and services.
