and should be of unusual value to
all readers who desire to keep pace
with the march of modern discover

"a general demand for refOrma-
ton is one of the most distinctive
characteristics of the nineteenth
century. The common people,
as well as the more
enlightened and refined, cry
out with no uncertain
voice to be emancipated from the
slavery of conservatism and superN
stition which has held the masses in
gross ignorance during large pHr-
Li0n of the worlds history, and in
The time of the Dark Ages came
near obliterating the last glimmer
Of truth. DOgmatic assertions and
blind empiriclsm are losing caste
among all classes of all countries.
People are beginning to think for
themselves, and to regard authority
much less than argument. Men and
women are no longer willing that a
few individuals should dictate to
them Whatmust be their sentiments
and opinions. They claim the right
to solve for themselves the great
questions of the day and demand
that the general good Of humanity
shall be respected. AS the result Of
this general awakening, we see, on
every hand, unmistakable evidences
Of reformaUory action. People who
few years ago, endured suffering
the most intense in the name Of
duty, now realize the utter foolish
ness Of such a course. Men who
were under the bondage Of bigoted
advisers allowed their health to de-
part; suffered their constitutions to
become undermined and finally died
as martyrs to a false system of
treatment. There are millions of
people filling untimely graves who
might have lived to a green old age
had their original troubles been
taken in time or properly treated.
There are thousands of people to.

attribute all these troubles to
the old idea of "a slight

high time that people awoke to a
knowledge of the seriousness of
these matters and emancipated
themselves from the professional
bigotry which controls them. When
this is done and when all classes of
physicians become liberal enough
TO exclude all dogmss, save that it
is their duty to cure disease as
quickly, and as safely as possible ;
to maintain no other position than
that of truth honestly ascertained,
and to endorse and recommend any
remedy that has been found useful,
no matter what its origin, there
viii be no more quarreling among
the doctors, while there will be great
rejoicing throughout the world"
