BY R. V. PIERCE, NJ D., of the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, n Y, Author of "The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser"
ETC., etc.
am aware that there is a popular, and not
altogether unfounded, prejudice against "pa-
tent medicines" owing to the small amount
of merit which many Of them possess. The
appellation Patent Medicine" does not
apply to my remedies, as no patent has ever
been asked for or obtained upon them, nor
have they been urged upon the public as
"cure-alls." They are simply some fayorite
prescriptions, which, in a very extensive prac-
tice, have proved their superior remedial vir-
tues in the cure of the diseases for which they
are recommended. Every practicing physfi-
clan has his favorite remedies, which he often
est recommends or uses, because he has the
greatest confidence in their virtues. The
patient does not know their composition.
Even prescriptions are usually written in a
language unintelligible to any but the drug
gist. As much secrecy is employed as in the
preparation Of proprietary medicines. Does
the fact that an article is prepared by q pro-
cess known only to the. manufacturer render
that article less valuable? How many physi-
clans know the elementary composition of
the remedies which they employ, some Of
which have never been analyzed Few prac-
titioners ksOw how Morphine, Quinine, Po-

SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP FOR
THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION,

The great virtue of this medicine is that 1t ripens
the matter and throws it out of the SYSTEM puries
the blood, and thus effects cure.
ScmENcK's SEA WEED Tonic, FOR THE CURB OF
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION, Ere.
The Tonic produces a healthy action Of the stom-
ach, creating appetite forming chyle, and curing
the most obstinate cases Of Indigestion.
SCIIENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF
LIVER COMPLAINT, ETC.
These Pills are Alternative and produce healthy
action Of the liver without the least danger they
are free from calomel and yet more effcacious in
restoring healthy action Of the liver.
These remedies are certain cure for Consumption,
as the Pulmenic Syrup pens the matter and purifes
the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
create healthy bile and remove all diseases of the
liver, often cause Of Consumption. The Sea Weed
Tonic gives tone and strength to the stomach makes
good digestion, and enables the organs to form good
blood and thus creates healthy circulation of
healthy blood. The combined action of these medi-
cines, as thus explained, will cure every care of

medicines persevered in.

Where are the Songs ard laughs of May?
Nor June misAt live nor July stay.
To Southern eaves oar birds have fed
From iilses how and roses dead
The swallows hong have taken fight
From waters wan and lost delight;
All things of summer sweetness die
Yet Joy why droop and life why sigh?
Color and hue and sunshine wane,
But only die to live nEaln;
Ever again the lost Is found,
The found is lost In lines swift round.
Why mourn for loss? Why hold it strange,
Beauty should dim and fairness change?
That, for blue heavens, gray skies should come,
For warbling boughs but woodlands dumb?
Why 30 should fair things fleet? we say;
Why should white winter temb sweet May?
All, senseless sorrow Death supplies
\ dearer charm to all that dies.
Were rose and lily always here,
Lily and rose were both less dear;
Hue, od0r, bloom, and leaf but wane,.
And die more dear to live again.

dophyllin, Leptandrin, Pei,sih, or Chloroform,
are made, or how nauseous drugs are trans
formed into palatable elixirs; yet they do not
hesitate to employ them. Is it not inconsistent
10 use prescription, the congestion OF
which is unknown to u.s. and discard another
preparation simply because it is accompanied
BY a printed statement of its properties with
directions for its use?
Some persons, while admitting that my
medicines are good pharmaceutical COM
pounds, object to them on the ground that
they are too often used with insufficient ludg-
ment. propose to obviate this difficulty by
enlightening the people as to the structure
and functions of their bodies, the causes,
character, and symptoms of disease, and by
indicating the proper and judicious employ
ment of my medicines, together with stitch
auxiliary treatment as may be necessary.
Such is one of the designs of the Peoples
Medical Adviser, forty thousand copies OF
which have already been published, and are
sold at the exceedingly low price of 81 so, and
sent (post-paid) to any address within the
United States and Canada.
If YOU would patronize medicines, scientif-
cally prepared, use my Family medicines.
Golden Medical Discovery is tonic, alternative,
or blood cleansing, and an unequaled cough
remedy; Pleasant Purgative Pellets, scarcely
larger than mustard seed, constitute an agree
able and reliable physic; Favorite Prescrip'
ton, q remedy for debilitated females; my
Compound Extract of Smart Weed, magical
remedy for pain, bowel complaints, and an
unequaled Liniment for both human and
horse-fesh; while DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
is known the world over as the greatest spe
cific for Catarrh and "Cold in the Head,
ever given to the public.
These standard remedies have been before
the public for many years. period Ions
enough to fully test their merits, and the bes
argument that can be advanced IN their favor
is the fact that their sale was never SO grea
as during the past six months.

THE WEDDAS.


NeXt lining 10 1belmK u monkey
An interesting paper on the Weddas,
tribe of men inhabiting Ceylon, was
read before the department of anthro-
pology of the British Association for the
advancement of science, by Mr.. Ber-
tram Hartshorne. The Weddas still
depend for their means of subsistence
upon their bows and arrows, and pass
their lives in the vast forests of Ceylon,
without any dwelling houses or system
of civilization. There is an entire alb
sence of any flint or stone implements
among them, and their state OF barbarism
is indicated by the practice of producing
fire by means of rubbing two sticks to-
gether, as we'll as by their habitual dis
regard for ablution. Their intellectual
capacity is very slight; they are unable
to count, or to discriminate between
colors; they seem to regard theft and
lying as an inconceivable wrong, while
they are devoid of any sentiment of re-
ligion except as that to be inferred from
their practice of Offering sacrifice to the
spirit of one of their fellows ''immedi-
ately after his decease." Tho quotations
indicate the importance of this account
in SO far as it TALES with the observ-
atoms already made on the origin Of re-
ligious sentiment. The Romans and
Greeks evinced the same regard for the
dead, and the modern mode of burial is
the survival of the earliest religious ideas
on the subject but little altered by time
and custom. It was Thoreau who first
said that much of the time of the living
is devoted to carrying out the wishes Of
the dead-these survive in their wills
and we have invented additional legal
paraphernalia for carrying out primitive
conceptions of the meaning of death.
Mr.. Hartshorne further said of the We'd
das that they never laugh, and they are
noteworthy as being the only race in ex-
istence speaking an Aryan language. Mr..
Hyde Clarke said at the meeting that
the Weddas had all the appearance Of
being an aboriginal people. Their speak
ing an Aryan language was no decisive
reason for calling them Aryans. This
statement embodies present views on the
position of philology as science. Its
results applied to prehistoric conditions
are seen to be faulty. In all the discuss
ions as to the affinities of the races of
men a study of the physical character
istics is the best guide. Religion is but
little help in the matter, conquered races
adopting the religious beliefs of their
masters; while there has been an inter-
national conflict going on between diff
ferent religious ideas themselves, indie
pendent of physical struggles. So we,
an Aryan people, have adopted religion
which is Semitic.

WINTER is now fairly upon us, and the
teams are fastening to the lumber woods in
various parts of the country. Our advice to
every man who goes to the woods, be he cap
tain, cook, teamster, or any other man, is to
take along good stock of Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment and Parsons Purgative Pills. Many
months of labor lin the aggregated may be
saved by this precaution.

PREMATURE Loss OF THE HAIR, which
is so common nowadays may be entirely pre-
vented by the use of ,BURNErT's COCAINE.
1t has been used in thousands of cases where
the hair was coming out in handsful, and has
never failed to arrest its decay, and to pro-
mote healthy and vigorous growth. 1t is at
the same time unrivalled as dressing for the

and glossy for several days.
