The American mind is active. Ithas given
US books of fiction for the sentmentalist
learned books for the scholar and profess
sionSs student, but fec books for the people,
\ book for the people must relate to 4 sub
ject of universal interest. Such q subject
. is the physical man, and such book " THE
PEOPLES COMMON SENSE MEDICAL AID.
yIsER," copy Of which has been recently
laid on our table. The high professional at
tainmcnts of its authOr-Dr. K. V. Pierce, OF
Buffalo, n. Y.-and the advantages derived
by him from an extensive practice would
alone insure for his work cordial recep-
ton. But these are not the merits for which
it claims OR attention. The author is a
man Of the people. He sympathizes with them
in all their Affections, efforts and attain
ments. He pcrceives their want-d kBOlcl-
edge Of HeDtseite,-and, believing that al
truth should be made as universal as Gods
own sunlight, from his fund of learning and
experience he has produced a work in which
he gives them the benefits of his labOrS. In
it he considers man in every phase of his eX-
istence, from the moment he energies from
a raylcss atom, too diminutiyc for the sight,
until he gradually evolves to the maturity
of those Conscious POrerS the exercise OF
which furnishes subjective evidence of our
Immortality Proceeding upon the theory
that every fact of mind has physical ante
cedent, he has given an admirable treatise
on Cerebral Physiology, and shown the bear
ings of the facts thus established upon indi-
vidual and socalswelfare. The author be.
lieves with Spencer that, "as vigorous
health aud its accompanying high spirits are
larger elements Of happiness than any other
things whatever, the teaching how to main
tain them is 4 teaching that yields to no
other whatever" and accordingly has intro
duced an extensive discussion of the meth.
DDS by which We may preserve the integrity
of the system and Oittmes prevent the onset
of disease. Domestic Remedies their prep,
aration, uses and ctlccts-fOTm prominent
feature Of the work. The hygicnic treat
ment, or nursinSo{ the sick, is an important
subject, and receives attention cOmmcnsu-
rate with its Importance. Nearly all diseases
to which tlUshis heir are described, their
symptoms and causes explained and proper
domestic treatment suggested. To recipro
cate the many favors bestowed upon him by
a generous public, the author offers his
book at price (Sl.50) little exceeding the
cost of publication. Our readers can obtain
this practical and valuable work by address
ing the author.

it soft and glossy for several days.

AT a Kentucky dinner, and between
the sherry and champagne, to which
period the e1tdnt terrible of the family
had been unfortunately permitted to
linger, the host had gone to praising
his own wine in fashion which was
certainly an evidence of its Intoxicating
qualities: "That sherry, sir, cost me
500 a dozen. l bought it at the auc-
ton of the Emperor Napoleon's wines,
and imported it myself" "Why,
papa" interrupted the enfdnt, ''that
was all gone long ago, and mamma
filled the bottles up from that California
key. She said you never had any
friends who could tell the difference. IS

Whose occult charm no llmner's art
