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. Tho salient
points may be briefly stated, and answered as
follows: lst-Are the sick capable OF deter
mining their real condition, the nature OF
their maIady, and selecting the proper remedy
or means of cure? 2d-Can physician, no
matter how skillful, prepare n universal
remedy, adapted to the peculiar ailments Of
q large class of people, residing in diferens
latitudes, and subject to various climatic in
fuences In answer to the FIRST proposition.

gestion,' require no other knowledge OF their
condition, or the remedy indicated, than they
already possess. Second proposition Many
physicians argue that diseases are sectionally
peculiar, and that their treatment must there

dophy Hin, and hundreds of other remedies
are prescribed IN all countries to overcome
certain conditions. Is it not, therefore, self
evident that physician whose large expe>

phases incident to all impurities of tho JIood,
general and NERVOUS debility. Hver complaint,
