Prof. A. Loisette-My Dear Sir: You may
remember that, after I took your lectures
upon the Improvement and Proper Use of
the Memory" personally, at your office, 237
Fifth Ave-, declined to allow you to pub
lish certificate over my own name, in har-
mony with a rule formed many years ago;
but, having seen the base attempt to rob you,
depart from the rule, and send you, unso-
licited, the statement that, in my opinion, if
your exercises are practiced sufficiently to
master the system. it is of great advantage
to even strong memory, and furnishes in
calculable aid to weak one.
will also say that, having studied various
systems, and not being unacquainted with
that taught by DR.. Pick, I believe that, with
the exception of such parts of your system
as you frankly avow to have been taken
from the common treasury of literature
upon such subjects, the stamp of originality
is upon your work; and that the parts that
are plainly original are worth far more than
all the rest. j. M. BUCKLEY.

We publish in another column the adver-
tisement of the Humane Remedy Company
of La Fayette, Ind, proprietors of sour
Home" sanitarium, an institution devoted
exclusively to the treatment and cure of the
opium habit in every form. After careful
perusal of their prospectus, detailing their
plan of treatment, accommodations. etc.,
and information obtained from other
sources, we take pleasure in endorsing the
Il. R. Co. as reliable and trustworthy organ
ization; ana we do SO with the hope of bring
ing this notice to the attention of some poor
victim of this soul destroying habit and in
fuencing him to Immediately communicate
with this firm and learn that there is cure
at price within the reach of all. 1t is per
fectly astounding what hold the opium
habit has attained in this country. Few can
realize how common its use has become in all
classes of society. Statistics compiled by
persons interested, indicate that nearly
million people in the United States and Can
ada are regularly using opium in some of
its various forms. The victims of this
deadly habit can be met in our fashionable

of high life, that are fully as dangerous and
assiduous in their detriment as baer, ale,
rum, gin and whisky.
