hold Reunion under the auspices of the Fiji
teenth Maine Regmental Association (organ-
lied at Portland in August 1881 during the
week of the National Encampment in Portland
in July next, and it is especially desired that all
surviving members of the regiment-whether
members of the association or not-will at once
communicate their address to the President of
the association, Maj. Ii. A. Shorey, Portland

corning the proposed Reunion. With the ex-
ception of the informal gathering in 1881, at
which the association was organized, attended
by about so members, the survivors of this regi-

Is This Passihfai

Report comes that Gen. Grants improved com,
dltion IS due To the fact that he is using Sim
pie vegetable preparation" forwarded by one of
our Consuls from South America and sent hin,
by the SUPERINTENDENT 1t this possibleI By
an " unauthorized" remedy? Shockiugi
And yet. if this simple vegetable prepara-
ton" were owned and advertised by any one az
a specific for this terrible disease, certainly tha
Surgeon General would not commend it. nor
would bigoted physicians prescribe it,
Nevertheless, it is fact that many of the best
proprietary medicines of the day, as the late
DIR. j. G. Holland stated in Scri5ner's Monthly,
were more successful than many physicians,
and most of them, it should be remembered,
were at first discovered or used in actual medi-
cal practice. When, however, any shrewd per-
sons, knowing of their virtue and foreseeing
their popularity, secured and advertised them,
then, in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue
went out of them!
Isn't this absurd!
We believe that remedy, il properly made,
is just as effective when put up, advertised and
sold in bulk as when doled out to patients at
enormous expense by their physicians.
Why not?
If Gen. Grant is getting better through SIM
pie unauthorized vegetable preparation. where
is the vaunted exclusive skill of the medical
profession
Apropos of the suspension of some very
prominent members by the Medical and Chi
rugical faculty of Maryland, for indorsing ad-
vertised remedies, the Baltimore american
(April 25) says that when a patent medicine
goes on year after year widening its circle of
believers, it is pretty fair evidence that there
IS merit in it. The regular doctors may ignore
it, and expel any of their members who use it,
but when they do so their action looks more ike
enuy against successful remedy than true desire
to protect the public" The failure in the Gar
field and Grant cases, the american thinks, and
properly, has knocked professional pretensions
higher than kite.
But this is not singular instance of unpro-
fessional power over "incurable diseases" That
simple vegetable preparation now every
where known as Warmers safe cure was once
an authorized remedy; was pronounced a &" god
send " to the medical profession for the cure of
kidney and liver disorders, malaria, general
debility, spring feebeness female Irregularities,
etc. by many leading physicians; but when the
formula was fully perfected. and the medicine
was put up in bulk and advertised SO that every
sufferer might know of it and treat himself then
the profession turned upon it and let their
patients die rather than use it!
This is certainly a strange proceeding, but it
is on level with all the rules and regulations
of code which has gone so far as TO forbid o
physician displaying beyond certain size his
name and profession upon his sign
But the world moves, and merit wins the
fight!

BURNING OF MEMORIAL HALL.
The whole city was plunged in mourning
yesterday by tho partial destruction of the
beautiful new Memorial Hall, which was to
have been opened the coming Autumn. The
building was under cover, and the timers were
at work on the cupola when the fire made its ap-
pearance, the result of their own criminal care
lessness in handling the molten metal.
furious wind was blowing, and before the Fire
Department could get in its work the entire
roof fell in, greatly injuring the walls and set
ting fire to the interior. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 will be required 10 repair the damage.
The city had placed an insurance of IS, 900 on

pended over $4,000. 1t is covered by the

Regarding the native treatment of

l ever witnessed was half-clad native
shouting: "Does any one want back his
sightP One rupee, only!' as if he were
hawking fruits or sweetmeats; and, to
my astonishment, a patient soon pre-
scented himself to be operated on for
cataract. There and then, standing in
the bazaar, the Inherent oculist took
out his pen-knife and performed the
operation in few minutes. bound up
the mans eyes, and telling him to keep
in the dark for fortnight, received
his fee Of one rupee and shouted his
war-cry for more patients. The opera
ton was almost unvaryingly success
ful; one instance among my servants
being a woman of eighty, who had
charge of my fowl house, and had for
many day been sightless, except to
distinguish light from darkness, and
who in this way was successfully oper-
ated upon. Besides this operator are
