The following remarkable letter from one
of the leading and best known sclentlnc
writers of the present day is specially signiti-
can't. and should be of unusual value to all
readers who desire to keep pace with the
march of modern discoveries and events:
"a general demand for reformation is one
of the most distinctive characteristics OF the
nineteenth century. The common people, as
well as the moro enlightened n renneo, cry
out with no uncertain voice to be emanclpa-
ted fir m the slavery of conservatism and SUI
perstition which has held the masses in gross
ignorance during q large portion OF the
worlds history, and in the time OF the DARK
Ages came near obliterating the last glm-
mer of truth. Dogmatic assertions and
all classes of all countries: People
a-e beginning to think for them
selves, and to regard authority much less
than argument. Men and women are no
longer willing that a few individuals should
dictate to them must be their sentl-
solve for themselves the great questions Of
the day, and demand that the general good
of humanity shall be respected. AS the re-
suit of this general awakening we see, on
every hand, unmistakable evidences OF refor-
matory acton. People who, a few years
ago, endured suffering the most intense IN
the name of duty, now realize the utter fool
ishness of such q course. Men who were
under the bondage of bigoted v.sarsa allowed
their health TO depart; suffered their
constitutions to become undermined
| and finally died as martyrs to a false system
of treatment. There are millions OF PEOPLE
filing untinely graves who might have lived
to q green old age had their original troubles
been taken in time or properly treated. Iheie
are thousands of people to-day thought essiy

malady and without the slightest realization
of the danger that is before them. lney
