We do not hear Of ignorant people flying
up in balloons, but that is because these
vehicles are more difficult to obtain than
gigs or boats; also because ballooning is not
nearly such good fun as riding, driving or
boating. Neither is it necessary that the
ballooner-a much better word than aero
naut-should be ignorant to put his actions
on the level of those we have described.
However expert he may be, he is as much at
the mercy Of accidents as the merest bungler
in boat. The wind blows him about. He
gets freezing cold and cannot help himself.
His machine bumps against trees and things
when he is coming down, because it is whirl-
ing helplessly about, and, as his ballast has
been already thrown out to smash the con-
servatories and hats of the lieges, he cannot
go up again. The bump throws him out,
and he breaks his nose and his snuff box.
Every now and then he is dipped in salt
water and dragged out by the passing smack.
The crew revive him with salt horse and

Miasmatic, or malaTial disease has
many forms, Physicians have, for the
sake of convenience and for the purpose
of indicating its most strongly marked
forms, subdiyided it into intermittent and
bilious remittent fever, dumb ague and
ague cake. But it prevents an infinite
variety of symptoms in different indi-
Viduals. Be these symptoms what they
will, always remember that Hostetters
Stomach Bitters will annihilate them at
the outset, and prevent their recurrence.
A review of the proofs would convince
any one of the fact. This, however, is
impossible because they are too numer-
Gus, and unnecessary because the effects
of this grand anti-malarial specific are q
matter of common knowledge. No less
