EDITORS BACK STAIRS
The Interesting Views Of the Late DIR J.
q. Holland


The columns Of the newspapers appear
to be flooded with proprietary medicine
advertisements. AS We east our eye over
them, it brings to mind an article that was
published by the late DIR. Holland in Serb
ner's Monthly. He says: Nevertheless,
it is a fact that many of the best proprie-
tary medicines Of the day were more sue
cessfnl than many physicians, and most Of
them. it should be remembered. were at
first discovered or used in actual medical
practice. When, however, any sllreud
person, knowing their virtue, and foresee-
ing their popularity, secures and adyertises
them, then, in the opinion Of the bigoted,
all virtue went out Of them .
Is not this absurd?
This great man appreciated tie real
merits of popular remedies, and the absurd
ity of those that derided them because pub
lie attention was called to the article and
the evidence Of their cures. IF The most
noted physician should announce that he
had made study Of any certain organ or
disease Of the body, OF make his sign larger
than the code size, though he may have
practieed medicine and been leader in all
medical counsels, notwithstanding all this,
if he should presume to advertise and de-
cline to give his discovery to the public, he
would be pronounced quack and hum
bug, although he may have spent hiss entire
life and all his available funds in perfect
ing his investigations.
Again we say. absurd. .
If am ulcer is found npon ones arm, aud
is cured by some dear soul of grand
mother, outside of the code, it will be pro-
noanced by the medical profession an ulcer
of little Importance But if treated under
the code, cansing slcepless nights for a
month, with the scientific treatment, viz.
plasters, washes, dosing with morphine,
arsenic and other vile substances, given to
prevent blood poisoning or deaden pain.
and yet the ulcer becomes malignant. and
amputation is made necessary at last. to
save life, yet all is done according to the
''isms' Of the medical code, that is much
more gratifying TO the medical profession,
and adds more dignity to that distinguished
order than to be cured by the dear old
rrandmotI,er's remedy
This anpears like a severe arraignmant
vet we believe that il expresses he true
standing Of the medical profession in re-
gard to remedies discovered outside of their
sneeiai ..isms. . One Of the most perplex-
ino things of tl,e dav is the ponularitv Of

these and many more symptoms indicate the pres

In view Of such serious and ever-present facts
the suggestions and advice Of the most eminent
physicians are Of the greatest value.
DR.. John Gardner, one Of the most eminent ply

benefits derived from the use of pure whiskey."

Dr. 8. NJ. Buckwalter says: "Duffys Pure Malt
Whiskey is. without doubt. the invalid's drink when
stimuants are indicated. and find all chronic
cases require stimulants. and a large per cent OF
the acute ones Also"
These truths from the lips of the leading scientific
men of the day. and confirmed by the experience

SneeZing Catarrh.

The distressing, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, the
acrid, watery discharges from the eyes and
nose, the painful inflammation extending to
the throat the swelling of the mucous lining,
causing choking sensations, cough, ringing
noises in the head and splitting headaches
how familiar these symptoms are to thou
sands who suffer periodically from head colds
or influenza, and who live in ignorance of the
fact that a single application of SANFORD's
RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH will afford in
Simultaneous relief.
But this treatment in cases of simple
Catarrh gives but faint idea of what this
remedy will do in the chronic forms, where
the breathing is INSTRUCTED by choking, put
rid mucous accumulatiOns, the hearing af
fected, smell and taste gone, throat u .cerated
and hacking cough gradually fastening itself
upon the debilitated system. Then 1t is that
tue marvellous curative power of SANFORD's
RADICAL CURE manifestS itself in instantan-

first application. 1t is rapid, radical, perma-
