which are recommended as certain cures

such case, perhaps the only absolute
proof that remedy is what it claims TO
be is to try it. "The test Of pudding

hold fast that which is good" is the ap.
ostolic injunction. There may, however,
be stronger presumptive evidence in favor
of ono remedy than there is in favor OF
another, and this should be allowed its
due weight. A due regard to this may
save vast amount Of experimenting and
useless outlay Of money. As presump-

he enquired the price Of one, paid for it

with captive after captive until every
