/ HOMEOPATHY no longer needs the favor
of the press to induce people to place her
pleasant little tillets aud liquids in the
family medicine chest, and this is in a
great measure due to such men as Hanne-
man, and DR., Humphreys, of New York.
DR.. Humphreys, especially, has not only
done more than all others to developc and
perfect his system, but has reduced it to an
exact science and in that shape to be most
servicable to all classes and conditions of
people. This being accomplished more
stubborn task remained-that of bringing
it favorably before the people--to over
come prejudices of education, superstition
and long habit. The success of DR..
Humphreys specifics was to be the success
of the new system, yet even its practitioners
were found opposing it with as much de-
termination as those of the old school do
any proprietary article that doesn't first
expose to them the principle upon which
it is based. The fact that every drug store
in the country now keeps DR.. HIS medi-
cine attests his success. Aud thcn again

ALEDo, Sept. 80, 1875.
Last night at 10 o'clock, at time of writ
ing my letter for THE ARGUS, the outlook
indicated clear weather for the morrow,
but ere morning everybody was made
aware of the unreliability of weather prog
nostications in this latitude. 1t commenc-
ed raining about two o'clock this morning,
and has continued with scarcely any inter
mission up until dark. As | write, the
horizon is growing clearer, and the wealth
er colder, with prospects of good weather
the balance OF the week. The fair will
continue until Saturday evening. Should
the weather prove favorable, the turnout
tomorrow will undoubtedly be large.
The town is full of strangers to- night, and
the hotels and boarding houses are taxed
