Important to Physicians---Un-
 precedented Offer.

Though the times are stringent and economy is proper for all, no physician in practice can honestly abstain from giving to those who employ him the best aid which medical science affords. And as each month contributes some thing valuable to the resources of the medical profession, all who employ a physician have the right to expect that they will receive from him every possi- ble advantage which his profession affords. No physician can possibly give to his patrons all of the practical advantages of medical science unless he keeps himself faithfully informed as to the progress of that science; and this can only be accomplished by his regularly studying the best medical journals of the day; journals in whose pages are to be found prompt and true record of every element of pro gress in the practice of medicine and surgery. A physician who does pot and will not do this is unworthy of the support and respect of any community. In taking medical journals, it is best to secure those which are we'll known and thoroughly established. Among these are to be ranked the s'Richinond and Louisville Medical Journal' and the "American Medical Bi-Weekly;" both of them edited by Dr. E. s. Gaillard, of Louisville, Kentucky. The first is a monthly; 1,200 large pages annually :; beautifully issued on tinted paper; il- lustrated; and has now reached it's twenty-fifth volume. Its contributors are among the most prominent physi- cians of this country, and the work is a mirror of modern medicine and sur gerry. Its price, postage paid, is $5.25 annually. The Bi-Weekly has reached it's eighth volume. 1t is equally we'll issued, and is most valuable work, costing for 620 double-column pages only S3.10 annually; postage included.
 We are authorized to say thit any one not subscriber to these Journals, can obtain them on the following un- precedented terms; viz, by sending to the editor of this paper the annual sub scription price of the paper, lass one dollar, and four dollars additional, the paper and the Journal will be sent for one year, postage paid. This is clear gain to she subscriber of $2.25. But to make the offer through this paper still more liberal, there will be sent to every such subscriber to this Journal Koher' 5 complete work on ''Uronology," with six beautiful steel engrayingf. So that each physician taking advantage of this gains $3.50 thereby. The same offer is made in behalf of the Bi-Weeklv if the work on "Uronology" will be sent to each subscriber as present. Such offers are unprecedented.

Among the Dead Failures

Of the past, how many bogus nostrums may b. numbered. Beginning their careers with tremendous flourish of trumpets, blazoned for time in the public prints and on flaming posters, soon, but not too soon, were they re- legatcd to the limbo of things lost on earth. But Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters is living and thriving remedy. It goes on curing and to cure. Neither underhand nor open competition affect it. On the contrary, contrast with inferior rival preparations only increases it's popular ity. It has been repeatedly initiated, but without success. Commercials of it have been surreptitiously introduced, but have fallen flat. Everywhere 1t it entrenches itself in the confidence Of the people; and we'll it may, for ie is a thoroughly reliable invigorant of the feeble, banishes dyspepsia and consti- patton, braces the nerves, cures rheu- matic ailments and kidney complaints, and eradicates and prevents intermit- tent and remittent levers.

"German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world was ever given such test of it's curative qualities as Boschee's German Syrup. In three years two millions four hun- dred thousand small bottles of this medicine were distributed free of charge by Druggists in the country to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Group, severe Coughs, Pneu- monia and other diseasef of the throat and lungs, giving the American people undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every town and vil- lage in the United States are recom- mending it to their customers. Go to your Druggist, and ask what they know about it. Sample bottles 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. Three doses will relieve any case.

Uncle Jesse X gain.

Mir. EpIToR.-In my last l pitch ed into Editors and let them of easy and now l propose going for Doctors little. I mean NJ. D.'s-there are other doctors beside NJ. D.'s you know. Now sir where we take an analytic view of all professions, we see that the imprint of progress is indelibly stamped upon them; new inventions and new discoveries are constantly going on'i each branch of industry, occupation or profession but how is it with the average NJ. D? are they marching even pace with other pursuits in the way of invent i've genius, for the ease and comfort of their patients? Some of them will say yes, look at the vast num- Der of inventions in the way of sur gical instruments, supporters, trus- ses, dental tools, &c., besides the chemical discoveries almost innumer- able, new medicines, &c.
 Now let us illustrate little: The doctor is sent for in great haste, and travels four miles and finds case of bilious, remittent or some otherform oi miasmatic fever; he feels the pa tient's pulse, looks at hls tongue and asks few questions, and then opens his pill bags and measures out dose of >alomel and.tartar large enough for mule to take and directs it ta- ken at bedtime; then he measures out from to 12 doses of quinine, arsenic and sulicine, and little iron, and directs dose taken every two hours, after the first has either ope- rated or killed the patient; he then starts home and leaves special in- struetions to send for him if the pa tient gets worse. Well, the sick man takes the first dose; can hardly swallow it; in about two or three hours it begins to reminate, and then to pIrgetate, and the fellow now scarcely knows whether he has swallowed nest of llve hornets, or a dose of medicine, only in the size, and not so great a. difference in that; but finally, if he survives the first dose, he begins on the others, and after taking halt of them, tells his wife to get the children into the house, for thunder storm Is coming up; after taking a few more he thinks an earthquake or hurricane is approaching, and then, if the poor fellow gets well and calls on the doctor for settlement, and reads the bill, (which is not customary he imagines that the medicine must have cost about as much as a pair of good mules.
 Now, Mir. Editor, we want the M. D's. to improve on this old 40 year ago practice and give us something that will swallow easy, go through easy, cure easy, and that can be paid for easy, UNCLE JESSE.
