Medical Mistakes,


1t took the faculty about thousand years to dis
cover that the best way to disease was not to
render the patient too weak to contend with it.
Within the last twenty years. however. the whole
system OF medical practice has been changed for the
better. In diseases or complaints caused by exces
sve heat tor instance, the doctors no longer
mend the reduction of the lnvalds strength by pros
tratiHg medicines. The vast success which has at.
tended the use of HostetteI's Stomach Bitters as
remedy for debility, has given even the most preju
diced members of the old school an insight into the
only true and rational theory OF cure. Cantharides
calomel, and overpowering doses OF opium, are now
among the obsolete nostrums of another age. The
lancet, once much the legitimate weapon OF thu
physician the sword is of the soldier, is seldom
drawn from its The principle OF life is no long
er drained from the veins by the quart, and water
cruel the strenghless invalid has ceased to b,
considered an appropriate diet. Vigor is the MOTIF
of the rational mem bers OF the profession and they
understand, at last, the value Of a sterling vegetable
tonic So, also, with the people at large and with
out consulting medical men at all, they have adopt
ed the bitters as household remedy, thereby eco
no missing both cash and health.
Note the tact, that HOstetter's Stomach Bitters 1
sold in bottles only, never bulk and tina The abor
tons springng up in various parts of the country
and sometimes offered as substitutes tor the grea
national specific, are all utterly worthless.

The favorable auspices under which Repub-
licans began the present political canvass in
Maine continue. The profound quiet is un
broken save by the occasional dropping out Of
the ranks of a disappointed Office seeker, who
has discovered that the Republican party is
corrupt Immediately alter bis own retire
nent to private life or failure to emerge there
from. On the whole, however, there are les
OF these curious condolences of failure an6
apostacy this year than we have ever known
but 1t is not matter of much consequence
since for every one that has gone in this way
Two good men have always come. The marty
that thrves on the loss of Seward, Chase. Doc
little and the Blairs is not likely to suffer in
consequence of the detection of Smith. or
Jones or Brown.
The reports circulated by Democratic pa
pers In relation to discussions among Repub
llcans in some of the counties are entirely
without foundation. For instance, the Dr.
gus has announces that the nominations in
York County were made by the triumph OF
one faction over another. But the Biddeford
journal, whose editor is on the county ticket
denies it, saying: "a more harmonious con.
vention we never attended, and the endeavor
OF correspondent of the Portland Arqus &c
represent the same as broken up into factions
and triumph of one at the expense of the
other, was made for the purpose of making
capital for the Democratic party, and is en-
tlrely devoid of the least coloring of truth"
Az attempt is also made to give some I'm
usal significance to the defeat of Hon. Arson
+. Morrill, for Senator in the Kennebec Coun
ty Convention, it being alleged that serious
DIVISION Will be the result. This is nonsense
. Ii Arson P. Morrill, wanted to be Senator ever
so much, he is not the man to bolt or allow
his friends to show any lukewarness in the
cause under such circumstances. But he did
not want the position, and it has all along been
reported in Kennebec that, though he was ur
gently appealed to by his friends to become
candidate, he peremptorily refused. After SO
brilliant political career as his, such a posi-
ton could hardly be an object of his ambition.
AT the last moment, however, his name was
presented to the Convention. Under these
circumstances it is sufficiently striking in
dlcatlon OF bis popularity that he had the most
votes on the first ballot.
And so i'll all the other counties there have
OF course, been the usual rivaries between the
friends of different candIdates-and nothing
more This is something very different from
the deep-seated, radical differences that we
see existing between the different factions of
the Democracy-one party profession to SAC
cept" the constitution, and another bitterl,
denouncing it-one County Convention en-
dorsing the 'new departure" and another
ignoring it-Democratic newspapers defend
ing ,Tammany and the Tammany thieves and
Democratic orators denouncing them as rob
bers! 1t is fact which admits of no denial
that the Republican party never came before
the people presenting a more united front.
While the Democracy were never so much d.
vided on matters of principIe.

THE public is again shocked by RAILROAD
accident by far the most frighttul that ever
occu,red in New England and has but few
oar.,,els and there have been but one or two
more fatal casualties in the history of reckless
railroading in this country. Like the other
accidents that have occurred this season, it
was pure blunder that should be regarded
as crime and be punished accordingly. The
public demand, in this case, now that these
wholesale murders are becoming frighttully
frequent, that the party or parties responsible
Tor this disaster, be indicted for manslaughter
and sentenced to the fullest extent of the law.
Wellington once, when his army was famish-
ing, hung couple of commissaries. The eff
Let was immediate. The army was supplied
IN abundance. A few applications OF the law
to those parties who persist in telescoping

doubtless make such accidents OF very rare Oc-
currence.
