A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained,

he Hue''ioh VI 1
with the learned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in fact every
body, is "What is Modern
Spiritualism?" Is it a verify or
is it ALA humbug ? Can it be
explained from a physiological
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex-
lists, is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
spirits can be seem a handled
and made use of to a good ad-
Vantage as well as explained is
also fact to which all drug
gists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be-
cause their name is legion.
We refer principally to those
medicines through which spirits
figure largely as restorative
agencies. Saur's Drug and
Medicine Depot harbors a large
number Of healing spirits which
can be purchased for a very
small sum of money and if fused
according to directions will be
the means Of relieving pain and
restoring the health of the at
\ ficted. This same drug store
has many other things in which
it seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes the
provisions upon which hun
dreds ot brains are fed and are
thus kept alive and active. The
large stock of elegant patterns
of wall and window paper is
another medicine by which
many homes is made warm and
comfortable. Then, too, comes
the many different celored
paints which are not only a
great preservative agency, but
add to the beautiful as well,
tons of which is sold annually
and which gives employment to
thousands of people. This is a
branch of business IN which this
house also figures largely. Saur's
Drug and Book store seems to
we the depot or store house in
which everything is kept which
can be foundin any drug and
book house, at prices which
everybody will acknowledge TO
be very low, iii l.,il

UNJUST TO BLAME THE SURGEONS OF
GENERAL GARFIELD"
LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Lancet, discuss.
ing the case of General Garfield, says the
bullet did not wound any vital part in its
path, and had the sinuous wound it made
closed up all would have been well; but
the wound did not heal, because its WALL
were bruised and SO injured that a pri
mary union was Impossible. The reten-
tion of pent up and putrid matter in the
wound almost insured the absorption o
septic poison and death. It may be re-
garded as an open question how far sue
cessful an attempt to render the woune
ascsptic might have been, It would bt
unjust to blame the surgeons, and it is {
matter of fcongratulation that they were
not led away by the vulgar desire to ex
tract the bullet, which had done no harm
since it once reached its resting place
near the pancreas, and its extraction pei
Sc would not have influenced at all tht
subsequent course of the case.
