THAT the Associated Press is a
one-sided partisan concern we think
is pretty generally understood. The
Courier -Journal of yesterday has
this to say, which is quite to the
point: "The Associated Press dis
patches relative to the Connecticut
town elections, as usual, devote
much space to reeiting Republican
gains, dismissing the Democratic
side with the remark, "a few towns
show Democratic gains" The re-
suit viii probably show Demo
cratic gains" all around. If the
Associated Press is not a partisan
Institution, it should devote itselt
less to the desires Of the Hayes
presses, and give the figures on botf
sides, whatever they may be-"

tens Of thousands of grateful patients, who
have been relieved of chronic ailments
through its fundamentally. Those voices
are limited to no one locality, but from
every city, village, and hamlet in our broad
domain, as well as FROM other climes, and
in the strange utterances Of foreign tongues
like the confused murmur of many waters
come unfeigned and hearty concentrations

Is Medicine a Sciences

1t is a nice question, in many cases,
which has done the more hurt, the
disease or the remedy; whether, for in
stance, the child's health suffers more
from the intestinal parasites which yex
him, or from the destructive purgatives
employed as anthelmintics; whether the
cancer or the knife produces death more
speedily; whether calpmel and ~quinine
be not pretty much such friends to the
sick man as La Fontaine's good-natured
bear was to the gardener, whose mouth
he crushed while trying to brush the
flies off as he slept. 1t is an equally nice
question to determine whether there
ever really does occur a critical period in
any disease, when the direct action of
actual medicine, per SC, can turn back
the wavering life from the jaws of death
to the fowery meads of re-established
health !; or, granting the possibility of
such a rare occurrence, do we not run
too great risk, as a rule to profit by it 7
These are nice questions, as have called
them, nor does the present condition of
medicine entitle us to expect to see them
answered. For these reasons, among
many others, medicine cannot be called
a science.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that the doctors Office is to become a
sinecure because his drugs are voted
rubbish and his methods false. On the
contrary, we shall need him quite as
much, and his advice will be more yalu-
able to US than ever. He viii not have
it in his power to do harm, and conse-
quently can give his undivided energies
to the pursuit of good. 1t shall be his
Office to teach US the fallacy Of physic
He shall present to our minds in all lis
horrid array the atrocious enormity o!
medicine as once it was practiced, and
SO shall save many a poor sufferer amongst
us from unconscious suicide. He shall
be our perpetual b~eacon-light against the
iron-bound, immitigable load-stone rocl
of quackery, where so many fair keel
lie untimely wrecked. In fine, he shall
become to us the counterpart of that in
valuable member of another profession
known as the chamber-lawyer, a quiet
man of skill and experience, who abound
with all the wisdom and JUNCTION of per
tinent counsel, and who never takes hi
client into court, where he is bound t,
lose, no matter how his case is decided

4 WALKING MIRACLE!

Mr.. II. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-Tholgh q stranger 1 want to inform you
what vEGETINE has done for me.
Last Christmas scrofula made its appearance IN
my system-large running ulcers appearing on me as
follows One on each ofmy arms, one on my thigh,
which extended to the seat, one on my head,
which eat into the skull bone, one on my lett leg,
which became so bad that two physicians came 20
amputate the limb, though upon consultation con-
cluded not to do SO, as my whole body was SO full OF
~scrofula they deemed it advisable to cut the core.
which was painful beyond dessr ption, and there
was a quart of matter run from this one sore:
The physicians all gave me up to die, and said they
could do no more for me. Both OF my legs were
drawn up to my seat, and it was thought i'll did get
up again / would be q cripple for life.
When in this condition l saw VEGETISE advertised,
and commenced taking it in March. and followed on
with IL until I had used sixteen bottles. and this
morning 1 am going to pillow corn, q we'll man. All
my townsmsn say It was q miracle to see me round
walking and working.
InconclusionI viii add, when ! was enduring
such great suffering, from that dreadful disease,
~scrofula, / pray ed to the Lord above to take me out
Of this world, but as YEGErINE has restored to me
the blessings of health, / desire more than ever to
live, that I may be of some service to my fellowmen,
and / know ofno better way to aid suffering hui
manity, tnan to inclose you this statement Of my
case, with an earnest hope that you win publish it,
and IL will afford me pleasure to reply to any COM
munication which / may receive therefrom.
