The Medical Profession.

The attitude of the medical profession
toward what is known as "patent medi-
cine" is not at all unreasonable. Thous-
ands OF these nostrums are offered to the
public every year. Some of them are
dangerous, and most of them are futile.
Swift's Specific Is. S. S., we are glad to
say, is net classed among these nostrums.
1t has overcome the wholesome prejud-
ices of physicians in all parts of the cour :
try and some of the strongest testimonials
in its behalf come from medical men who
have used it in their practice, and who
do not hesitate to endorse its wonderful
results. This is extremely gratifying,
but by no means astonishing, for every
claim that is put forward in behalf Of S.
S. S. is based on q series of actual ex-
periments extended over a long period
of time.

A green house such as the one described
has low stages running round each side,
but no central stage, so thatlarge groups
