The letter is from Ralston & Siddons,

acting for William F. Aldrich, execu-

of several thousand dollars worth Of

which went down with him or the Rio

Ral5tOn & Siddons state in their let

Once upon "a time studanis or
medicine held the notion that
there were rs many different
diseases as the body has organs
and parts; every one Of these
ailments requiring different
treatment. So stupid a mistake
could lead only to miserable fail
urcs. For the fact is, the body
is single machine; and what
concerns one part of it concerns,
more or less closely, all the
rest. Thus we see how it hap
pens that one remedy, or mode
of treatment, may relieve and
cure a variety Of complaints,-Or
what may appear like variety,
but are really various forms or
outcomings Of the same cause.
Take, for example, Anemia, Scro-
fula, Poverty of Blood, General
Debility, Influenza, Throat and
Lung Diseases, etc.-a formidable
array indeed they look to be: yet

seized from Mrs. Judge was 1857. OF. A
fine of $S01.O3 was accordingly levied
and the goods confiscated. Mrs

In the Morehouse case the appraised
value was $252.37, making the fine
$757.11. The total cost in this case will

fines are not paid the matter will be
put in the hands of the United States
