Old-Fgshioned Doctors and Their Quack Remedies.

It is hard to realize the fact that the healing art ym never in so advanced or so hopeful a condition m it is at present; and that man was never so little foolish in the matter of taking medicine as he is now. There are old men in Europe who remember when barbers did most of the common doctoring, such as drawing teeth, bleeding, and giving physic. A “course of medicine,’ at least onoe a year, and sometimes twice, or even four times in a year, was once considered by prudent parents as essential to the family health. Whole households, as well as whole regiments, took simultaneous medicine. The custom lingered as late as the time of Nicholas Nickleby, who saw Mrs. Squeers ladle out brimstone and molasses to all the pupils in Dotheboys Hall before breakfast, to curb their impetuous appetites. Indeed, I am not sure there are not persons who still adhere to the practice. Until quite recently bleeding was practiced for almost every complaint One of the first men in this country to perceive the folly of this practice was Thomas Jefferson, who, as early as 1765, used te give directions to his overseers when he left home to “never bleed a negro.” Although much laughed at by his neighbors for his new-fangled notion, he lived to see it on the way to general adoption. \ He used to relate an incident that occurred when he was Vice President, on one of his journeys home from Philadelphia, then the national capital. The landlady of a hotel where he stayed had just returned from the funeral of a young relative. “But, Mr. Jefferson,” said she, “we have one comfort in our affliction. We have the consolation of knowing that everything was done for him that could be done. He was bled, sir, six and twenty times. ” We read in old newspapers high ecomiums upon persons who, happening to be near when some one was seized by violent disease, or fell down in a fit, had the presence of mind to open a vein instantly, and thus save the sick man’s life. It is only within a few years that people have begun to use their reason in applying remedies for sickness. When Walter Scott was a little and a weakly boy, he was taken into the country in order that he might be wrapped every morning in a sheep skin, warm from the sheep’s back. The only healing property in the sheep skin was the warmth, and this he could have had without going into the country or into the skin for it. An enterprising man in London used to advertise that he had magnetic beds of such powerful healing force that a diseased person by sleeping in oije of them a single night would be restored to the health and vivacity of youth. He prudently charged 50 guineas for such night’s lodging, and it is highly probable that he had patients, for, as old Pliny remarked in the first century of the Christian era: “The medical is the only one of all the arts in which the moment a man declares himself to be an adept, he is at once believed; while there is at the same time no imposture the results of which are more fraught with peril.”— James Parton, in Youth’s Companion.

A Pretty Flower Bed.

Last summer I saw the prettiest flower bed that I ever noticed. It was arranged to show flowers at good advantage, and very easy to keep free from weeds. It was in a lawn, close by a croquet ground. The form was a circle, about four feet across. A row of bricks was laid in a circle, and on the top of these were laid large bits of common quartz, which looked very white and pure along the side of the soft green grass. The inside was filled with rich loam, leaving about ten inches of this for the outside flower bed; another row of the white stones was laid and earth filled in, to raise it some six inches above the outside. In the center of this bed, a row of larger stones was laid compactly, and raised up about eight inches, forming a nice large flower pct. Growing in this was a splendid Happy Thought geranium, loaded with immense clusters of flowers. Sweet mignonette was growing in the crevices of the rocks. The middle bed was filled with China pinks of all varieties, and lovely balsams. The outside bed had roses, nasturtiums, pansies and other bright-hued flowers; and sweet alyssum grew in the crevices of the quartz. It was free from weeds, and the whole had such a lovely appearance that I thought it was a new arrangement, and was quite surprised to learn that it had been made three years, and was much easier to keep in order than it was the first year. In another part of the grounds there was growing a large clump of white petunias, completelycovered with pure, sweet, white blossoms. The secret of their wonderful growth was simply a bottomless earthen pot, sunk into the earth and filled with old chip dirt and stable manure, to within six inches of the top, the rest being filled with the earth taken from the ground where the pot was set. I never 'saw so large a growth of the plant, or such an abundance of bloom, and it kept its beauty till November. There were other equally pretty arrangements in other parts of the grounds.— Floral World.

A Temperance Man.

A gentleman took the pledge, but somehow his abstinence from the moderate quantity of wine he was accustomed to drink did not agree with him. His doctor was sent for, who recommended a slight alcoholic stimulant. This advice was received with horror. “How can L” said the sick man, “violate my vow ? I have forbidden my servants the beer which they love so well, and lam going to preside at a blue ribbon meeting next week.” “All I can say,” said the doctor, “is that a stimulant is necessary for your health. You had better get a bottle of whisky and hide it away, and when your shaving water comes up just mix yourself a tumbler of whisky and water.” The doctor departed, and, meeting the pa-

tient’s servant a week afterward, he asked him how his master was going on. “Oh, very well as to bodily health,” was the reply; “but, between you and me, sir, I think he has gone wrong in his head—he has taken to shaving himself six times a day!”— Temple Bar.

One of Thurman’s Methods.

A Washington correspondent relates a curious circumstance in connection with the passage of the Thurman sink-ing-fund act, and it may explain in some measure why the Gould-Hunting-ton lobby was defeated: It will be remembered that the efforts of Gould and Huntington were concentrated upon the Senate. Stanley Matthews had charge of the bill, and was enthusiastically supported on the Democratic side by Voorhees and Ben Hill. Gould and Huntington were here in person. Gould had chosen to dismiss for a time his “parliamentary agents,” and had himself undertaken the task of calling personally upon Senators and endeavoring to convince them by the ingenious and plausible arguments of winch he is master to support the amendments which would practically nullify the Thurman bill. The agents of Gould and Huntington sat in the marble-room of the Senate, to which, under the rules of that body, they could have had access only by the introduction of some Senators. They were confident of forty votes to defeat the bill. Senator Thurman expected to pass the bill by midnight. There were indications of an attempt at filibustering by its oponents, and many amendments had been offered. Mr. Thurman was seen to have upon his desk a roll-call of the Senate. He rose, stated that he understood the opponents of his bill were confident of victory; that he had in fact, then upon his desk a roll-call of the Senate, with the names checked upon it of the Senators who, he was well advised, were relied upon by the agents of Gould and Huntington to vote nay. There was intense interest in the chamber. Mr. Thurman did not read that roll-call or tell where he got it. He simply said that as the voting upon the amendments proceeded he should watch it with great interest, to see how well it tallied with the list with which he had been furnished. There certainly was consternation in the ranks of the lobby. The voting began. The forty promised votes upon that tally-sheet dwindled to eighteen. The bill was passed. Thurman put his mysterious roll-call into his pocket. Gould took the train for New York and it is said has never been in Washington since. The Thurman bill went to the House, defied the combinations of the railroad lobby, and was passed by a twothirds vote.

A Glove on Dean Stanley’s Head.

The late Dean Stanley, says London Truth, is said to have rarely made a gesture while preaching, a fact which probably gave rise to the following amusing anecdote: One day, after morning service, he asked his wife if she had noticed the intensity with which the congregation had gazed upon him during the sermon. “How could they help it, my dear,” said Lady Augusta, “when one of your gloves was on the top of your head the whole time ?” The Dean, having taken off his hat before entering the pulpit, the glove had fallen on his head, and, as he stood quite still jvhile preaching, there it remained.

A Little Truth About the Devil.

Yu will observe this, the devil never offers to go into partnership with a bizzy man, but you will often see him offer to jine the lazy, and furnish all the capital besides.— Josh Billings. The man who calls his mother a washerwoman is poor indeed, but not quite as poor as the man who hasn’t any one to wash for him.

Assisting Nature.

It is of no use attempting to force nature. She won’t stand it, and rebels. She must be coaxed as it were, not driven. For instance, in attempting to overcome constipation or indigestion, violent, or what physicians call, by way of euphony, “heroic" treatment, is sure to defeat the purpose in view, which is, or should be,, to permanently, remedy the evil. The use of drastic cathartics is especially to be deprecated; for although they temporarily overcome costiveness, yet the intestines are so weakened and inflamed by them as to be rendered unfit to perform the ejective functions properly. How much better tp assist nature in such a cass with such a mild and salutary aperient as Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which strengthen at the same time that they relieve the bowels. Not only is this result achieved by their use, but the activity of the torpid liver s restored, the stomach invigorated, ana the entire system grearly benefited. Thk singer who understands the management of his breath is a great artist It ought to be the same way with a barber. “We are a great tract society,” remarked the President of a company which recently purchased 1,000 acres of land in Texas.

A LIVE AMERICAN GIRL ABROAD.

A Marvelous Dream. Last summer I was “doing London'* aa thoroughly aa an American woman without escort can, when one morning, after catching prudent glimpses of what remains of the “St. Giles,” immortalized by Hogarth or Douglas Jerrold, and of the “Seven Dials,” I turned into New Oxford street (which is topped by Tottenham court road and ends at Mudie'a Library). Walking along towards Holborn I found myself involuntarily stopping before one of the prettiest fronts I had yet seen. Naturally I looked up and saw above the number 3 an sesthetic-looklng sign against the front (for projecting signs are inadmissible in the great metropolis), on which I read “Dr. Pierce's Medicines." At once I gave a little ejaculation of Joy, and fairly rushed into the shop. Why! I had been during two whole days lamenting the awkwardness of a railway porter, who, in my transit from Southampton, after landing, had so carelessly handled my “box'* (trunk is also inadmissible in England) as to break notonly my supply of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, that I had brought from New York, but all of his Purgative Pellets (so advisable to ladles in traveling) excepting a bottle I had in my reticule. The clerk appeared to notice my satisfaction as I looked around and saw a portrait of Dr. Pierce, whose acquaintance I had first made at a ball in the White House, when he was Congressman from the fine city of Buffalo, and saw pictures of its World's Dispensary building and of its Invalids’ Hotel, in which I had been a guest-patient (as well, let me add, as a patient guest) during a course of treatment with World's Dispensary medicines, which had changed me from a nervous, dyspeptic, fretful woman into the cheerful and healthful traveler I now found myself to be. The clerk was vastly polite as 1 told him what a surprise it was to me to find that the boons of my life time had found a home In Loudon. “Why,” he interrupted, with a smile, “the medicines of which this is the European entrepot have won thousands of grateful patients as enthusiastic as you seem to be.” Of course in a short time the mishap with the railway porter was forgotten, and, after giving an order for a new assortment of the “Golden Discovery” and “Pellets” sent to my lodgings in Bernal street, I was again threading my way through the London crowds. Fatigued with the day's exercise and enjoyment I retired early to bed, and with the pleasant incident of - Ox ford street well to the fore in my mind as I fell asleep. W hat wonder that I dreamed, or that my fancies traveled across the 2 tlantic to Buffalo and to tne Invalids’ Hotel, which had to me the same grateful memories as the church of her marriage has •to the happy wife. I seemed to be in a palace car between Albany and Buffalo, and the newsboy had brought me a copy of the marvelous book sold freely on all the trains, “The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,” by Dr. Pierce, ex-Senator and ex-Congressman. I was again reading its. pages, expressed, us all medical books for the people should be expressed, in “plain English/’ and which is full of everything relating to the ills which flesh is heir to, so that the book may be well called the Invalids* Bible and the Testament for the already strong, who would keep themselves always strong,. The book, which takes the child in the cradle through all the ills of nutrition and dentition; ths mother in her agonies; the husband in his depressions; the father in his sufferings from overwork; and shows each and all (and even the practicing physician, who thinks be knows so much and yet has always new things to learn) how the brain is weakened in functions, the lung pqisoned, the blood contaminated, the liver made torpid, the heart disarranged, the muscles made rigid, the nerves shattered, and the tissues and absorbents infected with the subtle poisons of excesses and malaria. And finally, the precious volume—the veriest gospel of health ,in this world—turns the reader’s attention to the Golden Medical Discovery, that, whether it is used upon the pores of the body dr sent into the channels of the body through the processes of assimilation and digestion,immediately “cools the brow and tempers the brain, and maketh the faint one strong again.” In my dream I had arrived at Buffalo, given my book to an Interesting invalid of a girl who sat npar me, and whose modestly filled purse seemed to forbid her the boon of the book albeit it was so unusually cheap—six pages of the profusely illustrated book tor each cent °f lts dollar and a half cost! And I had been repaid by her looks of gratitude. Then in my dream the once familiar sound of “ Dr. Pierce's World’s Dispensary and Invalids’ Hotel” was heard from the healthy and attentive porters awaiting the arrival of patients. Then I was driven to the old place with its revivifications of architecture and comforts.

As I drove up I seemed to see the hotel in a blaze of light, and heard music and the sounds of happy voices and of lightly moving feet. More surprised than ever before I was taken in hand by a female attendant —as bright-looking as these ever are in dreamland, and in a moment, as it seemed, was clad in full evening costume, and soon, escorted by an usher, was entering the great diningroom, transformed into a salon of reception. At one end in huge electric letters I saw the words, “Welcome, restored old patients,”—at the other end, “Dr. Pierce, the Hotel Founder,” —in the center of one long side, “Golden Medical Discovery," and along the ceiling, also in electric letters, “Purgative Pellets.” As soon as this wonderful spectacle of dreamland had became sufficientlyTia'turalized to my dazed senses I looked around and saw such happy congratulatory groups as made me think I was indeed in a phase of Paradise. With words of whispered assurance, the usher led me to the highest portion of the room, where sat a Cleopatra-like woman of rare beauty and condescending carriage. “Permit me, oh, Queen of Health, to present to you another of your subjects—she who only a year ago was, without her will, excluded from, but has now re-entered, your dominions.” She placed her cool hand in mine, the which as I kissed a thrill of new delight ran over my veins, and with a sceptreheaded with a charmingly cut bottle of silver Dearing In monogram the letters “G. M. D.,” she touched both my eyes which seemed to anew drink in the gorgeous sight around me. “And now,” said the Queen of Health, “let mo present you to ray Prime Minister.” Timed with her gesture to the right, I turned my eyes and there saw, in evening costume, a robust gentleman of medium stature, who was in physique the very ideal typo of American manhood. He seemed the very embodiment c' hnnl-hf.’,! vigorous vitality, and on his full lofty brow I saw great indications of comprehensive mental power, sweet benevolence, unvarying courtesy, tender sympathy, and business sagacity. He smiled and extended his hand. When 1 recognized him in the instant, and rushing impetuously towards him seemed in my dream to say, “Oh, Queen, this my preserver, my ever-to be remembered physician, Dr. Pierce.” He greeted me as warmly as I greeted him. At this the music struck up congratulatory chords in unison with the beating of my heart, and he whispered in my ear, “My best delight (and to it I have given my life, even at the sacrifice of a public carer and promised honors) is to benefit those whom illness and disease afflict.” A fresh procession of guests arriving at the foot of the throne of the Queen of Health, and demanding her attention, as it seemed to me in my exhilarating dream, as well as the attention of her Prime Minister Pierce, I receded with my escort, and was soon mingling with the happy groups, the members of which seemed bent upon enthusiastically exchanging with bach other memories of their happy experience under the advice, whether here or at their homes, of Dr. Pierce, through his books and through his medicines, now controlled by a syndicate of capitalists, under the title of the “World’s Dispensary Medical Association.” “I was a sickly school girl,” said one, “ignorant of the very rudiments of physiology, and a victim internally to my ignorance, but the * Medical Adviser’ recommended the ‘Favorite Prescription’ and it soon restored me to bellehood, and here I am, full of health and gratitude.” Her escort was a Harvard student, who told me that a short time previous he had been worn by indiscreet alternations of Boston pleasure-seeking and Cambridge study, a very martyr to poisoned blood and dyspepsla,but "Medical Discovery,” he joyously added, “not only made me what I am, but, by its constant use. keeps me what 1 am.” As he moved away with the young lady, his affianced wife, I could not but regret the small numbers in good society of as handsome healthy young fellows as ho. “I,” remarked a plump matron in black velvet and

diamonds, “had all the world could rive me except health. We exhausted the baths ot Europe and spent what fb bomb would be a fortune on ‘eminent’ physicians of Paris, until I returned home to die. But chance mere chance, I am now ashamed to say—threw Dr. Pierce's ‘Favorite Prescription' in my way, and all my weaknesses vanished as the dew before the rising midsummer ■un. In two months I was a well woman.’* The powerful voice of a baritone, pressed into the service of a song—still in my dream—at one of the grand pianos of the Invalids* hotel, aroused my wonder, and soon the possessor of the voice was exciting our marvel by the narration of how he owed it, after a total destruction of voioe by bronchitis,- to an entire reoxygenation of lungs and throat, through “Golden Discovery,’* which was now his constant companion. Gracefully dancing in the edsuinp quadrille, I saw a gentleman whom I was assured had not long ago been crippled with rheumatism beyond even the palliation of the Hot Springs of Arkansas, yet who, under “Golden Discovery,” had seemed to renew his strength, like the favored of the Psalmist's song. As I moved about from group to group, 1 heard but one strain told in many ways—and that how marvelously, in its one great mission of purifying the blood (which was the fountain of health or disease) the Golden Medical Discovery had come to their homes—in some instances after years of suffering and useless expenditures—to renovate, and to make the names of Dr. Pierce and the World's Dispensary Medical Association household words of cheer. Some had been cured by the Discovery of great eating ulcers, that bad gnawed away at their flesh for years despite all the usual remedies. Others had been restored to the full vigor of health after one lung had been wastea by consumption (which is scrofula of the lungs), qnd after night-sweats, spitting of blood, and kindred symptoms, had manifested, themselves. Various forms of scrofulous diseases, as fever-sores, white swellings, and hip-joint disease, had been conquered with the worldfamed blood-purifier—Golden Medical Discovery. Presently a bugle from the orchestra gave the summons to supper and all the guests began to pair. Little Nubian boys in scarlet uniforms (bright as everything bright is In dreamland) then glided in bearing little silken pennons, each exposing the words "Hope in G. M. D.,” which they distributed in line of march, and which each guest joyfully bore aloft. Another bugle call for attention, and I saw two venerable, sweet-faced men of Grecian features approaching the Queen of Health, holding in their hands two wreaths of evergreen—the veritable laurel from the Athenian groves. She stepped from her throne, as complaisant monarchs do, and raised them to her dais. Another bugle for silence and she spoke: "My guests, before we sup an interesting ceremony remains. He on my right is Hippocrates from the Spirit Land. He on my left is Aesculapius. They come to crown our Dr. Pierce with the great laurels of his noble profession—they the great Past Grand Masters of the Healing Art, who best know who is conqueror of disease.” In a moment Dr. Pierce was about bending his knee in respectful obeisance to these ancient Professors when a gesture from both arrested him, as with dainty but dignified motions they placed upon his head the laurel leaves—each saying in a unison of musical monotone, “Thou art our legitimate successor,” while a burst of orchestral acclaim Hid a chorus of thanksgiving.huzzas from the guests arose. Immediately above this royal and supornaturally looking tableau I saw in pillars of rosy light these great words, the motto of the crowned Dr. Piexce, and which reveals the secret? of his almost divine success, “The Blood is the Life." And with that I awoke, in my quaint little lodgings, to find (an unusual thing for London at early morning any day) cheery sunlight streaming into the room, as there upon my toilet tabic were my restored adjuncts to continued life and happiness—the Oxford street supply of Golden Medleal Discovery, the guarantee of my continuing health. Dear reader, although the foregoing is only the narration of a dream, yet tt but truthfully reflects the marvelous cures wrought by those world-famed medicines that have, from their intrinsic merits, become standard remedies In all civilized countries foV the commoner ills of niankbvt

Bananas in Florida.

Hon. Robert B. Roosevelt, writing to the American Agriculturist in regard to a recent visit to Florida, says: “Opr posite Pilatka there were great plantations of bananas, which grow by suckers from the roots, and increase like weeds. They have to be three years old before they bear, and the development of the flower and fruit, which was going on while we were there, was a pretty sight. The top of the stalk turns over and produces a huge purple flower of a single leaf, as large as the hand of a giant. From under this large leaf starts a circle of small sprouts like fingers. The big leaf falls off, but from the ends of the fingers burst other, much smaller purple flowers. Then below the row of fingers grows another flower like the first; it also uncovers another row of fingers, and so on till the entire bunch of bananas, as we know it in the market, is formed. Even then the flower point does not cease growing, but exhibits flower after flower, which are merely ornamental and do not result in fruit. Sprouts start so freely from the roots, that the young bushes have to be cut away every year with scythes, or they would become crowded and the fruit degenerate.” Beware of the lean man. He cannot go through the eye of a cannibal.

FOR TWENTY YEARS.

An Important Opinion by an Emlnen 1 Jurist The Syracuse, N. Y., Journal has an interesting interview with one of the lead ing Justices of the New York State Supreme Court, from which we quote: “Yes, sir; I have been on the bench for twenty years, and have never missed an appointment through physical debilities. "In the spring of the year I make it an invariable rule to help nature ‘clean house’ by using a standard blood purifier, and to this I attribute my extraordinary vigor. I am nearly seventy.” The spring is nature’s "house cleaning” time. Then the blood is full of the impurities of the long winter. Nature needs help, for if the purification is not complete, the system is liable to attacks of pneumonia, chills and fever, malaria, rheumatism, liver, kidney, and blood disorders, headaches, bowel derangements and summer complaint. “No, I should not like my name to be used publicly, bnt you may say,” said the jurist, “that the only medicine 1 use is “Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, of Rondout, N. Y.—a most excellent preparation, which I always warmly commend to my friefids everywhere.” Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy has been twenty years in use, and cures in «0 per cent, of cases, and can harm no one.

Remarkable Escape.

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind., had a very narrow escape from death. This is his own story: “One year ago I was in the last stages of consumption. Our best physicians gave my case up. I finally got so low that our doctor said I could not live twenty-four hours. My friends then purchased a bottle of Dr. Wra. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, which benefited me. I continued until I took nine bottles. lam now in perfect health, having used no other medicine.”
