A DebatabIe QuestfOu.

While much has been written concerning
the use of put up medicines, the question
is still an open one. and demands of the peo-
pie careful consideration. The salient
points may be briefly stated and answered,
es follows: lst-Are the sick capable of de-
termining their real condition, the nature of
their malady, and selecting the proper rem
edy or meaus of cure? 2d-Can physician,
no matter how skillful, prepare a universal
remedy, adapted TO the peculiar ailments of
a large class OK people, residing in different
ATTITUDES and subject TO various climatic in
huences? In snswer to the first proposition,
we would say. diseases are named and known
by certain signs or symptoms, and as the
mother does not need a physician to tell her
that her child has the whooping cough or
indicate a remedy, so people when afflicted
with many OF the symptoms con-
comi'ant 10 impure blood" torpid
liver" and bad digestion" require no other
knowledge of their condition, or the remedy
indicated, than they already possess. Second
oposition-Many physicians argue that
disesS.s are sectiODally peculiar and that
their treatment must therefore vary, and
yet quinine, morphine, podophyllin and
hundreds of other remedies are prescribed
in all countries TO overcome certain condi-
TONS Is it not, therefore. self evident that
a physician whose large experience has made
him familiar with the many phases incident
10 all impurities Oh the DIOOu, Scutfdl duu
nervous debility, liver complaint, dyspepsia,
consumption and catarrh, can prepare a
series of remedies exactly adapted To meet
the conditions manifest, wherever, and by
whatever means, it may have been en-
gendered? The family medicines pre-
pared by r V. Pierce, NJ D., OF
Buffalo, n. Y, fulfill the above requirments
Many physicians prescribe them in theiI
practice. His Golden Medical Discovery has

resinous substance consists in sounding the
trees by means of adeep incis:on at their base,
and going nearly as far in as the heart.
If nothing but oil flows out the tree

already stated, at the end of

from he Taurus camphora. 1t is obtained

One of the Mysteries.

An old row boat hoated down the Missis-
sippi river with human skeleton in it. A
negro fisherman discovered the weather
beaten craft and its cargo of bleached bones
those of Julie Leblanc, who disappe lred
from home in Jefferson county, Missouri, six
years ago. Julie had many lovers, being
very pretty and vivacious. Some of them
may have been attracted, too, by the fact
that her father, Francois Leblanc. had held
some title of nobility in France. One even
ing she dressed for party in the neighbor-
hood, and went into the garden 10 get flowers
for her hair. She did not return, and her
parents supposed that she had gone to the
party; but in the morning her continued
absence alarmed them. She had not been at
the social gathering The woods for miles
around were thoroughly searched and foot
prints of man and girl were found lead
ing to creek where boat had been kept.
The boat was gone. One OF her lovers was
missing also, and another went away soon
afterward. These two young men had been
rivals for her favor. No trace of them has
ever been discovered. The finding of her
skeleton indicates that she was murdered. A
conjecture Is that the two lovers fought over
her, and that she and one of them were
killed by the young man who disappeared
after the tragedy.

st. Louis GlObeDemocrat.l
In 1869 Edward Wuerpel was appointed
cashier of the Peoples Savings institution,
and gave bond i'm the sum of $50, coo, with
six sureties, who were considered among the
most solid men Of the city. Three years ago
Wuerpel disappeared, and with him large
amount of the assets of the bank. The bank
was compelled TO close, and an assignee was
appointed to wind up its affairs. Suits were
instituted against the securities on their
bond, and are still pending Yesterday the
assignee presented petition asking permits
sion to compromise with the bondsmen for
the sum OF $1,000, and stating that it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether even this small
amount can be collected by legal process.
One of the bondsmen has gone through
bankruptcy, another has all his property in
his wife's name, two are execution proof,
and the rest are worth nothing. Five years
ago these bondsmen were considered to be
worth over a million, and were ell active
business men.

The tree from which camphor is OBJ
tanned belongs To the family of guttiferous
productions. 1t grows abundantly in the
forests of Sumatra and Borneo. 1t is one of
the strongest and loftiest trees of those coun-
tries. Its bark is of a brownish hue Its
leaves resemble those of the camphOr tree of
Japan: its leaves and its seeds send forth
powerful smell resembling that of turpen-
tine. The trunk can attain a diameter Of
from six to seven feet When the tree has
attained the size of a poplar which is seven
or eight years old, il yields camphor, but in a
sDI all quantity. Before that sse it produces
only thick oil which, according to the
inhabitants of these cOuctries, is the first
state through which the camph0r passes,
There is no way of exactly recognizing the
trees which contain the one or the other of
those substances. Nevertheless, when old
trees are pierced camphor is almost invariably
found. 1t is usually met with in hollows
very close to the heart exactly as rosin is met
with in other trees These hollows or pock-
cts would seem, by the irregulaaity of their
form, by their extent and by their volume
to be rather diseased affection peculiar to
the tree than a natural property; but this is
not the case. The manner ofprocuring this

Self Respect.

Always remember no one can debase you
but yourself. SANDER, satire, ;falsehood, in
justice-these can never rob you of your
manhood. Men may lie about you. they
may denounce you, they may cherish sus-
picions manifold, they may make your
failings the target of their wit or cruelty
never be alarmed; never swerve an inch
from the line your judgment and conscience
have marked out for you. They can not, by
all their efforts, take away your knowledge
OF yourself, the purity of your motives, the
integrity of your character and the generos-
ity of your nature. While these are left, you
are, in point OF fact. unharmed.-Hints for
Daily Life.
