BENEFITS OF VACCINATIoN.-The small
pox epidemic has been very prevalent
for some time past in Vienna, and nu-
merous cases are constantly occurring,
taxing the abilities OF the medical pro-
fesslon and the capacities of the various
hospitals to the utmost. The benefit
of vaccination, however, is shown by the
unanimous testimony of those who have
been most concerned in the treatment
of the disease. The general result is
summed up as follows l. The mortali-
ty has been ten times greater in the I'M
| vacclnated than in the vaccinated 2.
The intensity of the disease has also. as
the general rule, been very much greater
in them. 3, Cases of hemorrhagic small
pox occurred much more frequently In
the unvaccinated. f. In the the Child
ren's Hospital, where the mortality has
been so enormous, and has specially pre-
vailed in the hemorrhagic form, its fatal
course has chiefly been among the I'M
vaccinated- These facts will, at a later
period, be demonstrated by the publica-
| ton of the full statistical data. and it is
hoped they will teach the opponents OF
vaccination much needed lesson

Nature cures. If Cure there be.

In all systems of error there is start
ing point usually made by a false as
sumption. This is palpable in the drug
theory. Assuming that disease is an
enemy which new drug disease may
vanquish, patients are dosed into tedi-
Gus pains, feyers, and, too often, pre-
mature graves. DR.. Trails lucid pen
has recently shown, that neither Seward
nor GreeleyEdied of natural disease, nor
yet mysterious Providence, but of
poisonous drugs Similar fatal admins,
trations ended the days of Washington,
Harrison, Taylor, and multitudes of emf
nent sufferers, including millions of the
obscure, whose lives, in one sense, we're
none the less precious The germ, as we
have said, of this poisonous system is,
that nature don't or won't cure. While
the drug theorists are unable to ignore
the efforts of nature in this direction,
they nevertheless insist that she must be
assisted to cure. Hence. under the guise
OF aid, they embarrass; and on the pre-
text of removing burdens, they bind on
such as are heavier and more crushing ::
and, in endeavoring to promote the pro-
cess of cleansing, they surcharge the bo-
dy with the foulest matter
As the cause must always be removed
to insure cessation of tie effect, so
must this baseless assumption &c assist
ing nature, by poisoning, be abandoned
before We can get rid of the destructive
medical theory. By eating unclean food.
and to much of it, persons are sickened.
| when druggists proceed to dose down vet
more unciean matter TO cleanse and cure
In swallowing bad diet. the laws of heath
| are broken and disease ensues; in swal-
lowing yet worse drugs. the laws of health
are still more dangerously broken, and
| too often death ensues. Who In his So
| Der senses can believe that doses which
invariably make well persons sick. can
make sick persons well? Can filth re
move filth Will Beelzebub, the chief,
cast out his subordinates? There is but
one way to swallow the drug theory, that
is, ostrich-like, to run the head into sand,
and force it down bind Facts, handled
by common sense, are as fatal to it as is
warm sunshine to ice, or light to dark
| ness. Naked assumptions and despotic
authority may sustain the absurdity,
while simple truth and reason must
overthrow it.-From The Science o,

Don't Let Tour Life he a Failure.

HOW Young Men Fail.

'"There is Alfred Sutton home with
his family to live on the old folks" said
one neighbor to another. cit seems
hard, after all his father has done to fit
him in business, and the capital he in
vested to start him fairly. It is s11rpris-
ing he has turned out SO poorly. He is
steady young man, no bad habits, as
far as [ know he had a good education,
and was always considered smart but
he doesn't succeed in anything. I am
told he has tried number of different
sorts of business, and sunk money every
time. What can be the trouble with
Alfred, [ should like to know, forI don't
want my boy to take his turn
s'Alfred is smart enough" said the
other. ''and has education enough, but
he lacks the element of success. He
never wants to give dollars worth of
work for dollar of money, and there is
no other way for young man to make
fortune. He must dig if he would get
gold. All the men that have succeeded,
honestly or dishonesty, in making money
had to work for it, the sharper's some
times the hardest of all. Alfred wished
to set his brain in motion, and let it take
care of itself. No wonder it soon ran off
the track, and a smash-up was the re-
suit. Teach your boy, friend Archer,
to work with a will when he does work.
Give him play enough to make him hap
Ply and healthy, but let him learn early
that work is the business of life. Patient,
self-denying work is the price of success
Ease and Incidence eat away the price of
capital only, but worse still, all mans
nerve power. Present qualification tends
to put off duty until tomorrow or next
week, and SO the golden moments slip
by. 1t is getting to be rare thing for
the sons of rich men to die rich. Too
often they squander in half a score of
years what their fathers were lifetime
in accommodating. 1 wish I could ring it
in the ear of every aspiring young man
that work, hard work, of head and hands,
is the price of success. - Country Gen

And should these women personally

DR.. Trask was engaged for twenty years in

of his experiments, a combination of Vegetable
extracts, the power Of which in removing dis
eases is unequaled in the annals of Medicine
His discovery consists in combipa-

Electricity or Magnetism in the form of an oint-
ment.
Certain. it Is, that the remarkable and
unprecedented success which has attended its
application in the cure of diseases, stamps it at
once as the greatest discovery of the age, and
