Medical Blunders.

From the period when surgeons applied their
salves to weapons instead of wounds to the
present. wide-awake age the medical profession
has Otter unwittingly taken side with Disease
IN Its conflicts with the human system. Even
yet' In spite of the tea lings of centuries of ex
perience, some physicians believe in depicting
their patients, already seriously exhausted b.
sickness, with powerful evacuants, or the lancet
But, provdentally, public intelligence is ahead
OF these medical fossils who belong, of right, to
the era of the Crusades! That powerful ally of
nature IN its warefare with the causes of sick
ness, Hcstetters Stomach Bitters, has opened
the eyes of the masses to the paramount import
ance OF increasing the vital strength of the BODY
when menanoed by disease. They understand
that when the atmospheric conditions are ad-
verse to health 1t is wise to reinforce the system
with wholesome tonic and stimulant, aud thus
enable 1t to combat and repel the depressing in-
nuences of an mclement temperature. If the
constitutional and animal powers were always
thus recruited in the presence of danger, the
mortality from consumption, bronchitis, rheu.
lnatsm, &c., would be much less than it row is
The causes which produce crodp, colds, ouinsey
dptherla and catarrh seldom affect strong and
active vital system; and of all vitalizing prepa-
ratlons; Hostetter's Btters has proved the most
efficient. 1t is not claimed that this standard
tonic is specific for lung and throat maladies
as 1t is for dyspepsia liver complaint and inter.
mttents, but 1t is unhesitatngly asserted that
1t Is the best known safeguard against all the at
mospheric elements of diseases ..

We have been asking and the other day gentle
man from lower Placer answered it. He said he

if that beggar was not suppressed, the people of

lain down immediately upon entering the

fastened down by the terrible weight Of the
snow which drited upon him, or rath-
er upon the upper portion of bis
body. Il was so heavy, he said, as to
cause almost unbear2ble torture. After he
found that he was unable to rise, and that
the snow was covering his head, he feared
suffocation, and to keep that member free,
he constantly raised and lowered it, and in
this manner, while he coald not prevent the
drift from forming over it, be formed an air
chamber, which prevented suff0cation. In
his endeavor to free his head, the poor fel-
low tore the hair almost entirely from

exposed to the air and frozen stiff,

creeping up his limbs, and unable to move

Special to the Courier-JOurnal.
EIIzABETHTowN, KY, Jan. 26.-Quite
a fire occurred at Lynnland Military Insti-
tute, on the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, about eight miles south of this place
Yesterday morning. The fire started about
8 O'Clock A. NJ. in the parlor of the resid-
ence of Gen. Perry, President of the insti-
tuition, where a little fire had b en- left the
night before. The residence was few
yards from the college building, and was en-
tirely consumed with contents. A number
of female students were attending school,
who used a portion Of the residence as a DOR
mitory, and the young ladies barely es-
capped with their lives, leaving all their
clothing behind except the night clothing
they wore. Two or three of the young
ladies made narrow escapes, but succeed
ed in escaping the flames unhurt. The res
idenee was insured for $1,000, we learn,
which will come near covering the loss on
the building. The contents were, however,
uninsured. Several Of the unfortunate
young ladies sent to our town yesterday for
clothing. This is a severe loss to Gen. Per-
ry, who has been striving hard to build up
good school at Lynnland, which property
he recently purchased, and steps should be
taken by our countrymen to aid him in the
matter of recuperating. E
