A Debata bic q aeptfOD.

While much has been written conce nlng
the use of put up" medicines, the question
is still an open one, and demands of the pco-
pie careful consideration. Salient points
may be briefly stated, and answered as fol.
lows: 1st-Are the sick capable of determin-
ing their real condition, the nature of their
malady, and selecting the proper remedy,
or means of cure? 2d-Can Il physician, no
matter how skilful, prepare a universal rem
cdy, adapted to the peculiar ailments of large
class Of people, residing in different ATTITUDES
and subject to various climatic influences
say, diseases are named and by known certain
"signs or symptoms, and, as the mother does
not need 4 physician to tell her that her child
has the whooping cough, or indicate a remedy,
so people when afflicted with many Of the
symptoms concomitant to "impure blood"
torpid liver" and bad Digestion" 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 therefore vary, and yet
quinine, morphine, podophyllin, and hundreds
OF other remedies are prescribed IN all countries
to overcome certain conditions. Is it not, there
fore, self-evident that physician whose large
experience has made him familiar with the
many phases incident to all impurities of the
blood, geae,:nl and nervous debility, tirer CON-
ptasnt, dyspepsia, consumption, and catarrh, can
prepare series Of remedies exactly adapted
to meet the conditions manifest, wherever, and
by whatever means, it may have been engen-
dered? The family medicines prepared by K.
V. Pierce, NJ. d., Buffalo, N. Y, fulfill the
above requirements. Many physicians pre-
scribe them in their practice. His Golden
Medical Discovery has no eqal as q blood
purifyer and general tonic, while his Favorite
Prescription cures those weaknesses peculiar

A Mysterious Occurrence Explained.

An Englisbman went into church in
Rome the other day, as service was
going on he sat quietly down, placing his
hat on the ground beside him. After
waiting little while, aud as there SEEM
ed no immediate prospect of the cere-
mony coming to an end, he thought he
would 60, and reached for his hat, but
was stopped by an unseen arm which
grasped him from behind. Thinking
that PROBABLY some custodian of the
church wished him to remain till the
conclusion of the service, he again
waited.
Presently he again thought Of going,
again reached for his hat, and again the
unseen arm firmly prevented him. Con
WINGED that the service was really some
important one which his leaving would
disturb, the Englishman again waited

Advice to Boys.

Whatever you are be brave, boys!
The liars coward and slave, boys;
Though clever at ruses
And sharp at excuses,
He's a sneaking and pitiful knave, boys
Whatever you are, be frank, boys!
IT'S better than money and rank, boys;
Still cleave to the right,
Be lovers Of light,
Be open, above board and frank, boys!
Whatever you arc be kind, boys!
Be gentle In manners and mind, boys;
The man gentle in mien,
Words and temper, I wecn,

Fan looks confused, and you, Mollie,

what Has Col. Sargent to do with it all2"
:. "Only this" said Aunt Mollie; "that

to marry him; that I accepted him, that
he spent last evening with me, and that

Mrs. Norcross was more angry with
Fan than she ever had been before, and,
after questioning and scolding her, sent
her sobbing to her room for the remainder
Of the day, to reflect on the enormity Of
her offense; and then Aunt Mollie, who
had listened, but who had not spoken one
word to Fan, took off her engagement
ring, and asked Mrs. Norcross to see the
Colonel when he called, and explain
everything to him.
"And tell him" said poor Aunt Mollle,
with quivering lips, "that acknowledge
his great kindness to me, but l cannot
accept such sacrifice"
Then Aunt Mollie went up to her
room, threw herself face downward on
the bed, and when the Colonel called q
few hours afterward, she was in burning
fever.
l think myself the fever must have
been in her system before, for fevers are
not developed so rapidly. But Aunt
Mollie was i'll for weeks.
Mrs Norcross did not enjoy her inter
view with the Colonel, as it was her child
who had made the trouble; but the Colonel
was very kind made excuses for Fan, said
he would not give Aunt Mollie up, and
took the ring only that he might have the
pleasure of putting it again on Aunt
Mollie's finger.
1t was long time before Aunt Mollie
could see him, and longer still before the
Colonel could make her believe he really
loved her. But she d,d at last consent to
marry him, and that naughty, mischievous

There arc four native modes of making
butter in the empire of Brazil. The first
is by putting the milk in common bowl
and beating it with spoon, as you would
an egg. The second by pouring the milk
into a bottle, and shaking it till the but
ter appears, when it is removed by break
ing off the top of the bottle. The third,
where dairy is more extensive, is perform
cd by an athletic native shaking a bag at
each end until butter is produced. The
fourth, which is considered to indicate
vast progress over any of the preceding
methods, consists in dragging the hide or
leather vessel, filled with milk, on the
ground after a galloping horse until it is
supposed the butter is performed. The
milk is never strained and the butter rev.

 In 1872 your Vegetine was recom- mended to me, and, yieldingto the per- suasions of n friend, 1 consented to try it. At the time 1 was suffering from general debility and nervous pros tration, superinduced by overwork and irregular habits. Its wonderful strengthening and curative properties seemed to affect my facilitated system from the first dose; and under it's per sistent use rapidly recovered, gaining more t'an usual health and good feel ing. then 1 have not hesitated to give eLI4e my most unqu ilified indorsement, as being safe, sure and powerful agent i'll promoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy.
