MEDICAL GUEsswoRK.-The profess
sional treatment of disease is in a great
measure experimental. If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes this
hit-or-miss practice is pursued until the
resources of the faculty is exhausted.
This, in the truest sense of the word, is
en1pirScism. But when the physician
has made a valuable discovery, he is
called by his professional brethren an
Empiric because he advertises the re-
suit of his labor and research. When
Dr.. Walker, of California, introduced his
celebrated VINEGAR BrTTERs as a remedy
for all blood diseases, he struck a tire
mendous blow at the empirical system
as applied in our hospitals and in private
practice. 1t was soon apparent that his
medicine was not a mere palliative or
alternative that only modified the synep-
toms of a disorder, but that it reached
the very source Of the malay in the
blood and the secretions, and literally
rooted 1T out. The process of renovation
and disinfection vent on together, vigor
was impaired to the organs from which
the virus of disease had been expelled.
That such is the effect of this popular
vegetable remedy, no one who has had
opportunities of observing it's operation
in cases of liver complaint, indigestion,
affections of the bowels, govt, rheuma-
tism and pulmonary disorders can pos
sibly doubt.-[Com.

LOOSE ABrTs-Dressing-gowns
What the season suggests.

To assume warm clothing at the commencement
of the cold season is only an act Of common pru-
dence. But something more than this is required
to put the body in a state of defense against the
searching atmosphere Of winter. Damp has a de-
pressing effect on the vital organs and the animal
spirits. The amount of life power taken out of the
strongest of us by the chilling vapors which fire.
quently load the air at this period of the year is
very considerable, and to the weak and langaid
they are extremely deleterious. To protect the
system against their effects, it must be inwardly
toned, regulated and reinforced, as well as shielded
outwardly by appropriate garments. This essen
tia1 service is more safely and satisfactorily accom-
plished by the daily use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters than by any other means within the prov
ince of medical science. The fact here stated is as
incontrovertible as a demonstration in mathemat-
les. Nobody disputes it. It is a matter Of common
belief and of general record. Here the case might
be rested; but the public, naturally enough. wants
to know why this famous vegetable specific is SO
far ahead of all other medicines of its class. This
reasonable curiosity can be readily gratihed. The
Bitters comprise five important elements, viz. a
stimulant, a tonic, an aperient, and a blood depur-
ent. Each of these components, as well as each of
the other subordinate ingredients, is the purest
and best Of its kind. They are proportioned in &C
cordance with a formula that has been in use for
twenty years, and operate tremendously and
simultaneously. Hence the uniform success Of the
medicine.

Another Old vaccination Mark.

In our last issue we copied a para
graph from the Yeonaan stating that
Col. Edmund 81. Taylor, of Frankfort,
had probably the Oldest vaccine mark in
the United States. According to the
Woman, Col. Taylor was vaccinated in
1902, seventy-one years ago. Capt. Jack
Louett, a venerable and well-known citi-
zen of our town, saw the Yeon1on'S state
ment in our paper, and came to our
Office on Thursday, where he exhibited
to us a scar on his left arm, deep, large,
and well defined, which was produced by
vaccination in 1898, seventy-ive years
ago. The Captain was born in 1892, and
was vaccinated when only six years Of
again v~accinated, on the right arm, and
although the limb swelled up and pre-.
sented the appearance of a "good take,
it passed away without leaving a scar

for the various gentlemen interested,
and that he paid them by such checks as have
already been described, and the books of the
Sergeant-at-Arms would show they had been
paid and charged to him. He testified that the
evidence of Speaker Blaine, Senator Wilson,
Representatives Dawes, Scofeld, and Bing-
ham agreed with his books and his recollec-
tons. The evidence of James F. Wilson was
also entirely correct. His evidence and that of
Mr.. Allison agreed, except on one point. Mr.:
Ames did not remember that Mr.. Allison had
included the amount of his cash dividend on
the stock he had sent Mr.. Ames in settlement
of other business transactions. In other re-
poets their statements agreed, and also cor
responded substantially with a telegram sent
by MIR. Allison to the committee before he had
had an opportunity to examine any memoranda
in the matter. He returned his stock and cash
dividend to Mr.. Ames last March, and settled
the whole affair with him on Feb. 8, following.
As to Mr.. Boutwell,, Ames understood that he
agreed to take ten shares of stock. but after
ward declined it.

An Extinguisher.

The Senate Committee on Patents
have reported adversely to the Babcock
Extinguisher Company's attempted re-
vival of a patent on the old Graham ap-
plication, fled in 1887. This virtually
ends the contest between the Gardner
and Babcock, leaving the public free to
buy the former. After hearing from
eighteen lawyers, the committee were
unanimous in the rejection, which closes
the case.-W Washington Letter.

ESCAPED Horse THIEF-RTCHMoSD, VA,

thief, desperado and psnitentiary convict, cap
tured in Baltimore Saturday, escaped from the
custody of Deputy Warden Strother this NOR
ming, soon after the train passed Ashland,
which is fifteen miles from this city. Strot er
and Fortune went to the stove to warm, and
the latter seizug an opportunity when the
door of tho coach was open, slipped out upon
the platform and leaped from the train, which
was running at the rate Of twenty-five miles
an hour. The train was stopped after it had
gone three-quarters of a mile. and search for
Fortune was made without success all day
At the time Of his escape he was manacled and

at is strange how close men read the pa

don't like but we esooh hear Of it and everybody
tells US of it. IT. however, once in a while we
happen to say good thing, we never hear of
that nobody seems to notice that We pay
some man a hundred compliments, and give
him a dozen putfs, aud he takes it all as a tri-
butte to bis greatness, and he never thinks 1t
does him any good. But if we happen to say
things this man don't like, or something he
imagines is a reflection on him or his character,
see how quick he flares up and gets mad about
it. All our evils are duly charged to us, but
we never apparently, get any credit for what
good VIC do"

Commenting Oh the history and fate of the
colored man, Tom Wright, lat,ly convicted Of
murder, the Washington Chronicle says
Had proper laws relating to vagraRcy been
enacted and enforced during the boyhood Of
this man, he would have been compelled to
learn and to follow some honest calling. In-
stead Of being left to the control Of instincts,
which from idleness and indulgence became
Gebased, he might to-day, have been skilled
tiller Of the soil, or useful workman. But
he was lef: to loaf on corners and around the
low dens Of iniquity that infest this and all 9TH
er cities, until be acquired an appetite for
whiskey and passion for gambling, and eve
ry moral sentiment WAS stified and crime be-
came the shortest and easiest way to provide
the means TO crafty his evil desires.
