SPECIAL NOTICES.
SPREAD THE TRUTH.

Some medical mon insist that il is undigni6ed
to advertise remedy, however valuable it may
lie. Queer reasoning this. 1t is like saying
that An article which the world needs should
&c hid IN corner-that benefits and blessings
m. y be too widely diffused-that the means Of
pi otectlng and restoring health should be q
close monopoly, and not accessible TO all. TIE
argument is bad. 1t is worse than that; it i:
inhunaa7l. Suppose Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tcrs-an absolute specific for dyspepsia, bilious
ness and nervous debiiity-had never been
known beyond the repertoire of the faculty,
what would have Eeen the consequence In
stead OF curing and inVigorsting millions, the
good effects o. the preparation would have been
confined to comparative few. There Is the
highest authority for saying that light should
not be hid under buGhel that whatever is
excellent should be placed rs a city on hill.
where all men can take cognztnCe OF it. 1t is
upon this princl pal that the l}ittors have boon
advertised and continue to be advertised in cv-
cry newspaper ofany prominence in the western
hemisphere, and that the spontaneous lestimo-
malls in It's favor have been translated into all
written languages. Thousands enjoy perfect
health to-day who would BIO languishing on
beds of sickness if the newspapers had not
spread the truth aoith regard to this ancqualied
inJigorant and corrective far and wide Suppose
piolI has been reaped from this publicity. Is that
any argument against it? If the public health
has boon protected If lives have been saved ;
il The feeble have been strengthened end tho sick
restored, great good has been accomplished; and
who 50 mean ss to grudge IT, cxerLions thus d.
reCleu tn air fair reward oct -eoWlW
