up from those interested in the continued
supremacy of the old system of one poison to
cure another. All of the empyrics Joined in
the chorus, and in their ignorance laughed at
the new system, circulating base stories of its
ill-success, and quoting imaginary cases as
proofs. Time has demonstrated their dis
honesty. After five years of uninterrupted
success the ElectrOpathic system is the lead
ing idea in medical jurisprudence, while by
the old system, physicians were content to
cure one in every five cases, there. were those
who were diving deep into the science of the
curative art; among these were the Electro
pathists; finally, it was discovered that the
failure in most of the cases of organic dis
ease, was entirely due to the machine. TAX

discovered several "electic'' vegetable reme-

iary in the world for the radical cure of dis
ease. There is no institute in the State
where the electropathic system is practiced,

view of the affair. The rising generation
should be reared with strong constitution,

system is applicable, suffice it to say, that
there is no disease. within the catalogue of
