dwelling, directly west of the premises, on the oppo~
site side of the public street, two cases of typhoid
fever occurred, and several other members Of the
family suffered from other forms of il-health, accom-
panied by decided arrangement OF the stomach and
bowels, and some Of the members Of a family in an
adjoining house were reported to have suffered from
some similar form Of disease.
Whatever theoretical view Of The subject be taken,
che conclusion is The same, that The local 8 ,nitary con-
dltious Of the place must be mainly held responsible
for his painful calamity.
To whatever extent the ignorance of sanitary laws
may shield the yiolator from moral responsibility, it
will not abate the physical penalty of such violation.
This will fall with the same force upon the uDcon~
scious, the ignorant, the helpless, and the morally
innocent, as upon the intelligent, The powerful, and
the wicked. 1t is too much the custom to attribute all
cases Of sickness and death, however palpabIY the
result of violated laws, to a special mysterious Provi-
dpnce, or to the dtcrecs Of fate, forgetting tbat with
cut "A miracle all natural events are the results of
natural causes, and that over such causes men have
no control. Though there is d Providence over all, it
should be remembered that, IN the world OF nature,
that Providence operates in accordance with, and by
the means Of, established laws. Though the hairs
of our heads are all numbered, and not a sparrow falls
TO the ground without our Fathers notice, yet the
number of oar hairs is determined Ivy the fixed prin-
clDles of our organization. ami every sparrow which
falls to the ground does so 10 accordance with laws
established at the dawn Of creation.
To prevent the poison of typhoid fever, when taken
into the system, from producing its legitimate effects,
except by natural agencies wo I'D esquire as positive
a miracle as 10 restore a severed head or arrest the
course of the heavenly bodies in their Spheres
Instead of closing our eyes and soothing our minds

ENlHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the live
Of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that Of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
lent to create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2 6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members Of the Society.
Its career during a period Of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such excess
sive Premiums as are charged by every
toher Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -
, 1873-06-11

Assurances of every description on sim
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 500 Dollars to 10000 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half

Assures wishing to discontinue the pay
ment Of their Premiums, may either dis
pose OF their Policies to the Society upon
equitable terms, or obtain a free Policy
for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof OF such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position Of
the Society are made quinquennially, and

REASONS WHY.-The reasons why DR.
Prices Special Flavorings, Cinnamon, Lem
on. Vanilla. etc, are superior to all others,
is because they are prepared from the
choicest selected fruits and aromatics,
without coloring or poisonous Oils, that all
the favoring principles are retained un-
changed by chemical action, highly concen-
trated, requiring less to favor, that there
is no deception in bottles as they hold one
haR more than those sold for the same
size, That they are in every particular
like his celebrated Cream Baking Powder,

THE HARVEST OF DEATH-It would
seem the usual causes of infant mortality
are not sufficient. The little innocent ones
are not permitted an even battle with the
King of Terrors; at this hot and sultry
season, the restless child, battling with the
enemies ofits life that lie in wait at every
corner has, in addition. to encounter an
other deadly foe-Mrs. Winslow's or some
other poisonous soothing syrup, admins
tered by the hand of some heartless nurse,
silly mother, or imbecile father. A host
of precious lives might be saved each year
by giving Dr. McCabe's renowned Medi-
Gated Black berry Brandy which effectually
cures infantile complaints without any de
leterious results. ll-d&w2w.

MEDICAL MANIAcs. There are num-
bers of medical men so welded to the old
formulas that all changes seem to them
like innovations. These medical maniaes
are, fortunately, incapable of much mis-
chief in this practical age. While the
VINEGAR BrTTERs are curing Indigestion,
Nervous Debility, Constipation, andeount-
less other diseases that defy the remedies
of the pharmacopoia, it is impossible to
thrust down the throats of intelligent inva-
lids 'heroic" doses of mineral poison, or to
persuade them to take adulterated alcohol,
impregnated with cheap astriDgents, as a
healing balm or ''balsamic prepara-
ton" VINEGAR BITTERs, pure botani-
cal tonic and Alternative, guiltless of the
curse of distilled or fermented liquor, is ac-

promised but have never yet performed
Under these circumstances it is no wonder
that this medicine has taken precedence Of
