has been tried, tested and approved by the lead

there are fossils in the profession, who persist
in prescribing the old palliative remedies of
their grandsires in such disease as Consump-

tration of the vital powers, and pronounce
them incurable. Progress in medical science
is indeed impossible where conventional hab-
it of thought has such strongholds.

A correspondent in Gardiner writes thus
concerning the early opening of the river

and opening of the Kennbec commenced by
Gen. Dearborn in 1885, continued by Major
VIM. Swan to 1903, and then by the late X.
II. Gardiner to 1864. This record has often
been published, and its correctness has never
been called in question.
Previous to this year. the earliest opening
recorded is March 10, lSOG. The river has
been closed this year but eighty-fve days.
The average time for Sc years is 1873 days and
the shortest time the river has been closed
previously, 92 days, was in the winter of
ls30-3l, when after it was closed, the ice
went out Dec. 25th and two vessels came up
to Gardiner, the river closing agan Jan. llth.
The season certainly IS remarkable. / kaoic
that the river for Sc years has never been open
so early by three days, and very much doubt
If ever blue birds were seen before or as early
as the sth, or May flowers on the 18TH or on
the 10th, and the roads nearly as dry in
summer. G..

be heard. Uncheered by plant Vr shrub,
