to release the witness from his professional
objections of secrecy.

of the unruly organ SO long as they use SUCH
irrational remedies as blue pill, calomel,
and podophyllin. But from the tried and

bitters upon the great hillary gland is
direct, powerful and speedily felt. The re-
lief afforded is not spasmodic, but complete
and permanent. The sallowness of the
skin, furred appearance Of the tongue, in.
pains through the right side and shoulder,

medicine, in behalf of which testimony is
constantly ~emanating from every quarter

Disease is hereditary, and

larry as water flows to the ocean.
A diseased stallion will inocu-
late multitudes with their de-
fects in the course of reproduc-
ton. They threaten to mum
date the domestic family with
their cripples. They have al
ready diminished the value of
the hardy pioneer, by entailing
upon the present generation ten
der feet, weak legs, thick winds,
coarse porous bones and soft
spongy flesh. Its alarming to
contemplate the diseases that a
few diseased stations will scatter
over the land. We must regen-
crate the present race of Grip
pies by breeding from sound
progenitors. 1t will be found,
by tracing the pedigrees ofsome
of our most distinguished horses,
that disease has been nearly
rooted out of the family, SO they
could not have inherited any Sc
rious defect from either side of
the house. Il is>more than
doubtful whetherwe can succeed
in the stud without cultivating
health as the primary cause of
improvement. 1t IS a signif-
cant fact that our hard bottom
