Medical S0eialy.

THE proceeding Of the Medical Society last
evening was of more than usual interest both
to the profession and tothe public. DIR, Ramsey
read paper on "Contagion and the Causes of
Disease u in which he showed that the number
of truly contagious diseases is very small, con-
trary 20 the generally received opinion; Quar-
antine he thinks, for the diseases for which it is
generally instituted is entirely unnecessary
Most of the diseases commonly considered con-
tagious, in his opinion, can be prevented by
properly instituted sanitary means.
If these views are correct and could be gen
orally disseminated, they would be of eminently
practical advantage to the people. Cholera and
yellow fever he does not deem TO belong to the
class of contagious diseases

Others remain long with us. The most un-

Tbe Scorer of Can,iyetiou.

Features of Grecian mould, well-turned
neck and beautifully rounded arms, are no
doubt very nice things TO have, and ladies who
possess these charms have reason TO be thankful
to Mother Nature, yet, after ALL the most cap
tivating of all womany charms is pure, fresh
and brilliant complexion. This superlatve fas
cination any lady may secure by using HAGAN's
MAGNOLIA BALM, the standard identifying pre-
paration of the present age. lt differs from all
ordinary cosmetics in three most essential par
ticulars, inasmuch as II contains no injurious
ingredients, does not contract or shrivel the skin
as all the astriDgent blooms" lotions - and
"powders eventually do, but produces last
ing loneliness by improving the health of the
skin Under its operation the texture of the
epidermis becomes finer, and the surface soft as
velvet and smooth as porcelain. Features can
not be changed, but compilations can, and it is
quite certain that lady with no other charm
than fresh and rosy complexion, win attract
more admiration accompany than her neighbor
with n classic face but Il sRllOw skin. ..O'

Silver Spring, Florida, is one of the great
est curiositieC in the South. 1t bursts forth in
the midst of the most fertile country in the
State. 1t bubbles up in basin near one hun
dred feet deep and about an acre in extent,
and sending from it deep stream sixty to
one hundred feet wide, and extending six to
eight miles to the Ocklawaha river, In the
spring itself fifty boats may lie at anchor
quite fleet. The spring thus forms a natural
inland port, to which three steamers now run
regularly from the St. Johns making close
connections with the ocoan steamers at Palat-
ka. The cesrness of the water is truly wond-
erful 1t seems even more transparent than
air you see the bottom eighty feet below the
bottom OF your boat, the exact form of the
smallest pebble, the outline and color of the
leaf that has sunk, and all the prsmatc col
Ors of the rainbow are reflected Large fish
swim in it, every scale visible and every move
ment distinctly seen. 1t you go over the
spring in a boat you will see the assures in
the rocks, from which the river pours upward
like an inverted cataract.
