H~EnBAhIsTIC REMEpIEs.-In former
days, if n member of the household be
came indisposed, the family-hoad, IN
der the instructions from the gray-hair-
ed dame, went to the forest or the field,
to gather herbs or berries, from which
w"r" quickly made invigorating ex-
tracts, which ere many days brought
the patl3nt safely around, and saw the
family gathering once more without a
missing member. How is it low? The
slightest indisposition brings the ''fam-
lily physician" with his handsome car
riage. He feel. the pulse, examines the
tongue, looks very grave, writes a few
lines of hieroglyPh os, charges a big
fee, aud leaves, only to return the next
day and find his patient mereurialized
sufficiently to be really sick. A week
or two of attendance follows, and there
in lies the secret Of "wealthy physi-
Clans" Compare the physique Of the
present age with the past, and the story
is complete. Reader, discard chemi
oals and try herbs. If you are i'll, try
the great herbalistic remedy, DR.. j.
