A DebatabIe Question.

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
as follows: 1st-Are the sick capable of de-
termining their real condition, the nature of
their malady, and selecting the proper rem
edy or means of cure? 2d-Can a physician,
no matter how skillful, prepare an universal
remedy, adapted to the peculiar ailments of
a large class of people, residing in different
latitudes, and subject to various climatic
influences? In answer to the first PROPOSE
ton, we would say, diseases are named and
known by certain "signs" or symptoms,
and, as the mother does not need physi-
clan TO tell her that her child has the whoop-
ing cough, or indicate remedy, SO people
when afflicted with many of the symptoms
cencomitant to impure blood" )" torpid
liver" and "bad Digestion require no
remedy indicated, than they already possess.
Second proposition---Many physicians argue
that diseases are sectiopal1y peculiar, and
that their treatment must therefore vary,
and yet, quinine, morphine, podophyllin,
and hundreds of other remedies are pre-
scribed in all countries to overcome certain,
conditions. Is it not, therefore, self-ev dent
that physician whose large experience has
made him familiar with the many phases in.
cident to all impurities of the blood, genera
and nervioas debility, ioer complaint, dys
pepsia, consumption, and catd,rh, can prepare
series of remedies exactly adapted to meet
the conditions manifest, whenever, and by
whatever means, it may have been en-
gendered? The family medicines prepared
BY R. v. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y, fulfil
the above requirements. Many physician,
prescribe them in their practice. His Col
den Medical Discovery has no equal as
blood-purifying ard general tonic, while hi
pTsscfpom cures those weak
have failed. His Pleasant Purgative Pellets

letters, makes good point apropos OF lie

ally, by calling attention to the fallacy OF
judging of the reliability of companies ac-
cording to their bulk. Many such lnstitu-
tions seek to dazzle the public eye by PRINT
ing their large gross assets in the heaviest
type, and by laying great stress upon the
nominal millions under their control to WIN
confidence and prevent any close analysis OF
the whole statement. He points out the plain,
but often forgotten fact, that even conceding
the equally good quality of the assets of

with the most millions which is safest for

The Value of q Vote.

A man who has vote holds great
power for good or for evil.
There have been times when vote
could do more than a musket for the
country. Every man ought to feel he
is responsible to God and to future gen.
erations for the manner in which he uses
this power.
What do you think of the young
American who, when asked, the other
day, which candidate he meant to vote
for, replied, 81 haven't paid my poll
tax, and so 1 can't vote?"
"But why don't you pay your poll-tax
at once, and then voteP' asked the per-
son who had questioned him.
ooh, because had rather have pair
of new kid gloves with the two dollars
was the shallow reply. And the man OF
small soul added, fIf you will pay my
poll-tax for me, PIl vote"

said the other, "if you were poor man
and also pay for your loss of time in go
ing to the polls; but if you are willing
to selling your honor as man and al
