SPECIAL NOTICES.

Medical Blunders.-From the period when
surgeons applied their salves to weapons in
stead Of wounds to the present wide-awake
age. the medical profession has often unwit-
tingly taken side with Disease in its conflicts
with the human system. Even yet, in spite Of
the teachings Of centuries Of experience, some
physicians believe in depicting their patients,
already seriously exhausted by sickness, with
powerful evacuants, emetics, salivants, eau
tharidal plasters, or the lancet. But, provi-
dentiaIIy. public intelligenceis ahead Of these
medical FOSSILS. who belong. Of right, to the
era Of the Crusadesl That powerful ally Of
nature in its warfare with the causes Of sick
ness. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. has opened
the eyes Of the masses to the paramount i'm
portance Of increasing the vital strength
Of the body when menaced by dis
ease. They understand that when the
atmospheric conditions are adverse 10
health-as, for example, in damp, chilly or
severely cold weather-it is wise TO reinforce
the system with wholesome tonic and stimu
liant, and thus enable it TO combat and repel
the depressing influence Of an Indictment tenn
perature. If the constitutional and animal
powers were always thus recruited in the pre-
ence Of danger. the mortality from consump
ton. bronchitis, chronic rheumatism. ETC.,
would be much less than it now is. The causes
which produce groups. colds, quinsey, dipthe-
riah and catarrh seldom affect a strong and
active vital system; and Of all vitalizing prep
arations. Hoststter's Bitters has proved the
most efficient. 1t is not claimed that this
standard tonic is a specific for lung and throat
maladios, as it is for dyspepsia, liver com
plant and intermittents, but il is unhesitat-
inTly asserted that it is the best known safe

have witnessed her handsome performances on
the Potomac in times past will share my pleas

has be here, the Belle Foam of the Sea and
others, contending in the aquatic struggles Of
the time, but doubt much if the Lady of the
Lake would no have won the prize if she bad
been in the ring in any of those contests. Her
owner, who is also her skipper, can't be beat
either in tie fitting out or sailing of this gay
little craft. 1t is mistake to suppose that he
leaves the woather-sde when the wind blows
hard There he is always, looking out from the
post of danger He cares less for the wind than
a collision, and woe be to the unluoky craft that
strikes his quarter. She will hear thunder

elements ever made. l hope to welcome this
popular boat again on the Potomac. hear
that upon the launching of this famed craft her
