Docadenee Of Shams.

Is there not lUll in the quack medi-
cine business? Its advertisements do
1T appear to us 10 SHINE with the
lVilliancy Of old. These astonishing
/ portraits of Old Doctor So-and-SO, and
the gorgeous perspective view of the
interior of Professor SnOOk's laboratory,
all alive with forty 'prentice-power pill
machines and tincture-vats like the
pools Of a swimming academy, have
ceased to illustrate the condition Of
modern art and medicine.
Possibly, the sensational style has
been found to have lost its force, and
a more quiet and stately tone to be
more promOtive Of the popularity of
bread-pills and rOOt-bitters. It looks
more professional. MOuntebankery in
physic has been Overdone, as it has in
\ great many other things. The quacks,
+ they successfully incUlcate this les
son and bring in a corresponding re-
form, will have been useful public ser
wants. Others have been forcing the
pace as well as they, and may well
slacken speed if not call a halt. The
blatant and dOgmatic has been increas-
ingly predominant in the announcement
Ofnew theories, notions and missions
We are all concerned in seeing it
checked, and simple truth and plodding
inquiry once more given a chance.
Repeated disappOintments have made
the world distrustfuI of startling dis
coveries and sweeping panaceas-a

A marriage was arranged between
two young people, living some distance
apart, near Bengal, India, but who had
never seen one another. The bride
groom duly arrived at the brides vii
lage, and the ceremonies had actually
,begun, when a report reached the bride
and her mother that the intended hus-
band was an incurable cripple. They
both declared that they would commit
suicide rather than complete the cere-
mony, and as it was a fact that the
wOuld-be-bridegrOOm was a cripple, he
was dismissed. But, according to the
prevailing superstition, eternal disgrace
would have attended the bride if she
had not been married on that day when
matters had progressed so far. So an
other bridegroom had to be sought, and
after searching the highways and by
ways boy was captured and duly mar
ried in place of the cripple. The latter
being in the same plight, had also to
provide himself with bride before the
day closed, and thus there were two
marriages. instead Of one.
