SPECIAL NOTICES.
SPREAD THE TRUTH.

Some medical men insist that il is undignifed
to advertise remedy, however valuable itmay
be. Queer reasoning this 1t is like saying
that On article which the world needs should
be hid in corner-that benefits and blessings
may be too widely difused-thst the means of
protecting and restoring health should be q
close monopoly, and not accessible to all. The
argument is bad. 1t is worse than that; it is
inhnman. Suppose Hostetter's Stomach Bit.
ters-an absolute specific for dyspepsia, bilious
ness and nervous debirity-had never been
known beyond the repertoire of the faculty,
what would have teen the consequence In
stead Of curing and invigorating millions, the
good effects Of the preparation would have been
confined to a comparative few. There is the
highest authority for saying that light should
not be hid under u bushel that whatever IS
excellent should be placed rs city on hill
where all men can take cognlz4nce OF 1t. 1t Is
upon this principal that the Bitters have boon
advertised and continue to be advertised in ev-
cry newspaper ofany prominence in the western
hemisphere and that the spontaneous testlmo.
mails in its favor have been translated into all
written languages. Thousands enjoy perfect
health to-day who would be languishing on
beds of sickness if the newspapers had not
spread the truth with regard TO this unequalttd
invigornnt and corrective tar and wide. Suppose
pronl has been roaped from this publicity. Is that
any argument against it? If the public health
has been protected If lives have been saved
if tho feeble have been strengthened and the SICK
restored, great good has been accomplished; and
who so moan rs to grudge to exerllons thus d.
rectod heir fair reward ? oct lI-eo~lW
