hepoIt cOtueH tnht Oenefal Grhnps
improved condition Is due TO the fact
that he Is using ''simple vegetable
preparation" forwarded by one Of our
consuls from South America, and
sent him by the Surgeon General |
Is this possible BY an .unauthoriz
cd" remedy? Seocking
And yet, If this ''sImple vegetable
preparation" were owned aud adyer-
tised by any one as specific for this
terrible disease, certainly the Surgeon
General would not commend II, nor
would bigoted physicians prescribe
1t
Nevertheless. II Il fact that many
OF the best proprietary medicines OF
the day, as the late DR.. J. @ Holland
stated In .Scribner's Monthly were more
successful than many physicians, and
most Of them, II should be remember.
cd, were at first discovered or used In
actual medical practice. When how
ever, any shrewd persons, knowing
OF their Virtue and foreseelng their
popularity, secured and advertised
them, then, 10 tho opinion OF the big
oted, all virtue went out OF them
Isn't this absurd 4!
We believe that remedy, II prop
erly made, Is Just as effective when
put up, advertised and sold Ia bulk,
as when doledout to patients at enor.
nous expense by their physicians.
Why not?
II general Grant Is getting better
through q simple unauthorized vege-
table preparation where Is the vaunt-
ed exclusive skill OF the medical pro-
fession.
Apropos Of the suspension Of some
very prominent members by the Med.
ical aud Chlruglcal faculty OF Mary
land, for endorsing advertised reme-
dies, the baltimore American (AprIl
25th) says that "when q patent med
icine goes on year after year wideing
Its circle OF believers, IL Is q pretty
fair evidence that there is merit ln II.
The regular doctors may Ignore 1t,
and expel any of their members who
use 10, but when they do so their act
lon "loOks more Ike envy against sue
eessf,l remedy than a true desirs 10 pro.
tect hs public" The failure In the
Garfield and Grant cases, the American
thinks, and properly, has knocked
professional pretensions higher than q
kite.
Bot this Is not a singular instance
OF unprefesslonal power over "dncur-
able diseases" That "simple vege.
table preparation" now everywhere
known as Warmers safe cure, was
once an authorized remedy; was
pronounced 'tgod send" TO the med.
ical profession for the cure OF kidney
and liver disorders, malaria, general
debility, spring feebIeness, female
irregularities, etc., by many physi.
clans, but when the formula was
fully perfected, and the medicine
was put up 10 bulk and advertised 80
that every sufferer might know OF Il
aud treat himself then the profession
tsrned upon It and let their patients
die rather tnan use It
This Is certainly a strange proceed.
Ing, but IL Is on a level with all the
rules and regulations Of code which
has gone so far as to forbid q physi-
clan displaying beyond a certain size
his name and profession upon his
.igui
But the world moves, and merit
wins the fight

the pretense Of secrecy is kept up.
Bars may be seen In many parts of
the city selling liquor openly and
without molestaiion. The hotels have
bars-in the basement, indeed, but
very easy OF access and everybody
knows they are there. In the country,
he says, any one can obtain liquor
who wishes 1t. This must be rather
discouraging to those who hold legal
prohibition to be the only method Of
controlling drunkenness.

Servia.
Dispatches from Belgrade state that the
Seryian army has crossed the Bulgarian
frontier in three divisions at Tsaribrod,
Klissura, and Bregova. They met with no
resistance in crossing. Sharp fighting oc-
CURED at Tn on the Vlasina road, and
at Kustendil. Many were killed and
wounded on both sides. The Bulgarians
retreated at all points. The whole Servian
army is in Bulgarian territory.
King Milan informed the powers that
Servia has declared war against Bulgaria
because Bulgaria arbitrarily attacked po-
sition which the Morava division of the
Kings troops held in Servian territory, op-
posite the Bulgarian frontier.
King Milan has also issued proclama-
ton which is in substance as follows:
"Servia cannot allow Bulgaria, which has
already proved hard neighbor, to disturb
the balance of power in the Balkans to her
exclusive advantage" He then alludes to
what he calls "the unjustifable Bulgarian
customs duties on the frontier, the unlaw-
full seizure of Bregova, and the encourage
ment by Bulgaria of the Servian rebels con-
demned for high treason"

Pavlovich, the Herzegovinian chief, and
Pashico, the Servian Radical leader, who
was expelled by King Milan from the
Skuptschina. Copies of revolutionary
proclamations signed by those men and dis
tributed throughout Servia were recently
found by Servian officials, and the latter
claimed they were disseminated by the rev.
olutionaries under Bulgarian protection.
This Bulgaria denied, claiming they were
many miles distant from the Servian FROM
tier, interned in n fortress.l
King Milan also alludes to the alleged
i'll treatment of Servian emigants in Bull
garia, the blockade of the frontier by Bull
garia, and alleged attacks by undisciplined
Bulgarian volunteers on the Servian peo-
pie and troops. In conclusion, the King
says: II cannot suffer these Intentional
provocations, and I, therefore, adopt the
policy of open hostility which has been
forced upon me by Bulgaria. Servia's
just cause now rests on the arbitration Of
arms, the bravery of her army, the protec-
ton of the Almighty. / relv upon nv

strength of the Combatants.

The various forces of Servia are as fol.
lows: Field army, 60,288 men, with 264
guns; reserve formation, 1856 men, with
"a guns; reserve army of landwehr, 52,270
men, with 120 guns; landsturm, 40, 900 men,
or total of 40, ,412 officers and men and
418 guns. The infantry is armed with the
Mauser rifle, improved by Major Mecovaro-
witch, which is of caliber of 1915 mill
meters. The artillery is variously armed
with muzzle-loaders and Krupp guns. The
total cavalry force included in the above
numbers 1900 men.
The Bulgarian field army consists of "a,
coo infantry, 1,400 cavalry, two regiments
and one company of artillery, 2,340 men; O
battalion of engineers, $50 men; detach-
ment Of train, 1000 men, and o force OF
gendarmerie, 1,600 men, or total force OF
80, ,220 men, with 104 guns. The infantry
is armed with Berdan rifles, and the batter
les have Krupp guns and guns of the latest
Russian pattern. The reserve force con.
sists of 24,000 men. There are also IL
battalions of landstrum Of 600 men each
or 1900 men, making total force of GO, ,00C
men. There is no want of arms, but there
is scarcely sufficient force of cavalry and
artillery. The cavalry numbers 1,500 men
The scarcity of officers, since many of the
Russian officers returned home, Is also Q
serious matter. Prince Alexander is an
able and energetic soldier.
The Eastern Roumelian army comprises
1924 men of the first levy, 10, 1877 of the
second, ,23,197 of the reserve, and 3 3,42s
men of the active reserve, making tota
of 64,030 men. The number of officers
available is altogether out of proportion tc
the number of men. There is no scarcity
of arms, as there are about $4,000 Kruka
1000 Berdan, and 5000 Martini Henry
rifles in the province. The artillery con-
sists of four guns. The Bulgarian arsenals
at Rustchuk and Rasgrad contain good
supply of arms, uniforms, and equipments
| The arsenal at Rustchuk is turning out
60, 900 Berdan cartridges q day, in addition
to ammunition for artillery.
