SELF KNowLEDGE.-While we do not hold
that "every man should be his own DOCTOR" we
are free to maintain that the ignorance of a
majority of men and women upon matters
most vitality important to their physical organ
ization is lamentable. If the standard works
OF the Peabody Medical Institute, Boston, could
be placed in the hands of all, both old and
young, the field of quackery would be greatly
diminished and the destructiveness of our most
insidious and wasting diseases greatly lessened.
By reference to our advertising columns, it will
be found that the titles of these works are 'The
Science of Life, or Self Preservation" Sexual
Physiology of Woman and Her Diseases" and
Diseases of the Nerves and Nervous Maladies,"
the value of which is proven by the fact that a
beautiful and costly Gold Medal has just been
presented the author by the National Medical
Association.

1t was hoped that the failures in the third
quarter of the present year, just closed, would
show reduction corresponding with that indi-
Gated in the second quarter, but this was per-
haps too much to expect. The improvement
in business, which has been so generally appar-
ent recently, did not evince itself till two-thirds
of the quarter had expired, and even then was
too restricted to influence those in an embar
raised position.
The amount of liabilities, however, involved
IN the failures of the third quarter of the year,
show considerable decrease in proportion to
the number of failures reported. The average
amount of liabilities for each failure in the last
quarter is $40, 500, against 1924, 800 in the pre-
ceding quarter, and against $4,000 in the cor
responding quarter of last year. Taking the
average of the whole seven quarters of the two
years thus far elapsed, the Indebtedness in-
volved in each failure of the past three months
is $4,000 less than for the quarter preceding.
Two differences are drawn f-om this reduction
of the proportionate liabilities-irst, that
smaller traders have been yielding to the pres
sure of the times, and that less number of
large concerns have failed; and second, that
the lines of credit have been restricted, and ir-
debtedness reduced Certainly it would appear
from these figures that less is lost in bad debts
in proportion to the number who succumb.
The comparison of the past nine months of
1876 with those of 1875 is not at all cheering, as
will be seen by the following:

MISCELLANEOUS.
UNIVERSALLY
RECOMMENDED,

We have just received October. 1879 a communica-
ton from nearly every druggist in New England,
and the testimony is universally in favor of SAN
FoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH. We believe
there never was remedy so popular wherever
known, and certainly we feel that never was one
more deserving of praise. Founded upon correct
scientific principles and calculated by the most
complshed physicians to meet the severest forms of
Catarrh the made by it have not only been
merous but so remarkable to excite public atten-
ton and cause the sale to exceed tenfod that of any
similar remedy ever before compounded.
While many are anxious to make public their tes-
tmony in favor of the RADICAL CURE, others-and
among this number may be found many of our most
respected citizens-diske to become publicly identi-
fed with so oathsome disease. Hence, in the fol-
lowing case we are unable to give the name, but are
permitted to state the severity and condition OF the
case before and after using the RADICAL CURE and
also that the gentleman occupies responsible office
in one of our State institutions. We quote:-
81 would not for the world permit my name to be
used, although have no doubt it would be of beue-
fit to many now suffering as l have suffered; but
give you brief statement ofmy case:-
"For two years have taken bromide of
pOtassa and bromide of ammonia every
day. L never passed single night with
ont getting up once or twice 10 free my
throat from the matter that had dropped
=
during all this time. Since taking the
RADICAL CURE have taken NO Potas-
sa or ammonia. have slept sOundly every
night without uneasiness distress; not n
particle of matter has dropped into my
throat during sleep, and every symptom of
a cough has Left me-"
wonderful result truly, all will say. who know or
can realize the extent and severity of this case The
gentleman has had eighteen bottles. This must sat-
sy the sceptical and there great merit in the RAD
IoAL CURE. Its mode OF preparation is new and or
igina Ignoring the old practices and remedies Dr.
Sanford selected new field, and has demonstrated
his method to be the only proper and never failing
treatment.
