TA [.MAGE Discourses on the Gospel of Health AT THE BROOKLYN TABERNACLE Bhooki.yn, November 20.—[Special ] —The Rev. T. De Witt Talinag;, D. D., opened the sirvlce at the tabernacle this morning by giv ing out the hymn, beginning: -’Hhould eomlnn day.: lx* cold and dark, We need not ceaee our hinjdng; That perle" r -t nought can molest, Where golden harps are ringing." lie then explained a passage in the gospel of St. Matthew, concerning the inferior kind of salt that was cast out to make walks of, to bo trodden under foot of mtn. The subject of Dr. Talmage’discourse was: ‘‘The gospel of Health,” and his text from Proverbs vii. 23. ‘‘Till a dart strike through his liver.” He said: There is a fashion in sennonics. A compar atively small part of the Bible is called on for texts. Most of the passages of Scripture, when announced at the opening of sermons, immediately divide themselves into old dis cussions that wo have heard from boyhood, and the effect on us is soporific. The auditor guesses at. the start just what the preacher will say. There arc very important chap ters and verses that have never teen preached from. Much of my life time lam devoting to unlocking these gold chests and blasting open these quarries. We talk about the heart, ami preach about the heart, and sing about tlio heart, but if you refer to the physical organ that wo call the heart, it lias not half so much to do with spiritual health or disease, moral exaltation or spiritual depression, as the organ to the consideration of which Solo mon calls us in the text, when he doscritessin progressing “till a dart strike through his liver.” Solomon’s anatomical nnd physiological dis coveries were so very great that he was nearly tlin e thousand years ahead of the scientists of ills day. Pe, more than one thousand years b< fore Christ, seemed to know about the circu lation of the blood, which Harvey discovered sixteen hundred and nineteen years after Christ, for when Solomon in .Ecclesiastes, describing the human body, sneaks of the pitcher at the fountain, he evidently means the three canals leading from the heart that receive the blood like pitchers. When lie speaks hi Ecclesiastes of the silver cord of life, lie evidently means tho spinal marrow, about which, in our day, Drs. Mayo and Car penter nnd Dalton and Elint and Brown- Seqiiard have e\j.< rinn nted. And .Solomon recorded in the Bible, thousands of years be- | fore scientists discovered it, that in Iris time I the spinal cord relaxed in old ago, producing I tho tremors of hand and head. “Or the silver cord be loosed.” in tho text ho revealed tho fact that ho had studied that largest gland of tho human sys tem—the Hvcr-not by tho electric light of tlio modern dise eting-rooni. but by tlio dim light of a comparatively dark age, and yet had seen it' important function in tho God-built castle of tim human body, its selecting and secreting power, its curious cells, its elongated, branch ing tubes, a divine workmanship in central and right and left lobe, nnd tho hepatic artery through which God conducts tho crimson tides. Oli, this vital organ is like tlio cyo of God in that it never sloops. Solomon know of it, and had noticed either in vivisection or post-mortem what awful attacks sin and dissipation make upon It, until with tlio fiat of Almighty God it blds tlio body and soul separate, and tlio ono it commands to tlio grave, and tho other it sends to judgment. A javelin of retribution, not glancing off or making a slight wound, but piercing it from side to side, “till tlio dart strike tlirc.ugh the liver.” Galen and Hippo crates ascribe to tho liver the most of tho world's moral depression, and tlio word melan choly means black bilo. I preach to you this morning the gospel of health. In taking diagnosis of tho diseases of tho soul, you must also take tho diagnosis of tlio dis -I'ivses of the body. As if to recognize this, one whole book of the New Testament was writton by a phssi. him Luke was a doctor, and lie discourses much of physical effects, and ho tells of tho good Samaritan’s medication of the wounds, by pouring in oil and wine, mid recog nizes hung, r ns a hindrance to hearing tlio gospel, so tiiat tlio live thousand were fed; mid records the spmso diet of tho prodignl away from homo, ami the extinguished eyesight of tlie bo :-::r l.y the wayside, and lets us know ot tlie. hcnioii ha o of tlio wounds of tlio dying t'hri t, and tho miraculous post mor tem rcsiio ittit'cii. Ami any estimate of tlio spiritual condition that does not inelmle also an estimate of tho physical condi tion is iiieoiiiplet •. When the doorkeeper of congress fell dead from excessive joy because I>ui'.’cyne had surrendered at Saratoga, and I'hilip tlie i’iflh of Spain dropped dead nt the news of his country's defeat in battle, mid (’nr.linal XVi ,"y expired a. a result of Henry the I■■•. bib's ..nuthema, it was demonstrated th it the bo.lv .ml soul are Siamese twins, mid when y..u tin ill the one with joy or sorrow you thrill the other. We might ns well recognize tlio troiiii ii.loi., fact that there are two mighty fortress.in the liuiiimi body, the heart anil tlie. liver; tlio heart, tho fortress of all tlio graces, the liver, the fortress of nil tlio furies. X on nmv have B e head tilled with all intel loi timlit es, anil tho ear with all musieal ap preciation, mid tho inoutli w ith nil eloquence, mid the hand w ith all industries, mid tlie hemt with nil generosities, mid yet “a dart strike through the liver.” i'ii-i. let t'hri inn ponpl.' avoid the mistake that they areal! won,; wi h God, because i hey sufl'er fr. in depression of spirits. Slimy a con secrated man has found his spiritual sky bo fogged and ills hiqio of heaven blotted out, mid Idin . If (lily d eliin-d. ep in tho Slougli ot Despond,and hasßaid: “M> heart b not rig I : with God. an.! 1 think 1 must have iniuio a mistake, and instead of being a child of light 1 nni n child of darkness. No ono can f. el as gloomy ns I feel and in? a Christian.” And lie ha ■ g .no to his minister for consola tion, mid lie has collected Fint el's books, and Cecil's books and Baxter’s books, and read, mid read and r-'i’il, mi l prayed mid prayed and played, mid wept and wept mid wept, and groaned mid groaned and groaned. My brother, vo ir trouble is not w ith tho heart, it is a gas trite disorder or a rebellion of tho liver. You need a idiydeinn more than yon do a clergy man. It is not sin that blots'out your hope of lie.ix rn, but bile. It not only yellows your eyeball, m.d furs your tongue, mid makes your head ache, bat swoops upon yonrsoul in dejec tions mid I.rib ling. Thoilevil is after you. He has failed to despoil your cliarneter, and he doos the next best tiling for him ho ruffles your peace ot mind, when ho savs you are not a forgiven soil, when ho says’ that you mo not right with God, when Im says that you will novel gel to heaven, ho lies. You aro just as sure of heaven as though you wcro tlio’-o already, Hut Satan, tinding that he cannot keep you out of tho promised land of Canaan, has determined tiiat the spies shall not bring yon any of the Esehol grapes beforehmid, mid that yon shall Lave nothing but prickly pear and crab apple. You are just us go >d now under tho cloud as you were when yon were accustomed to rise in tho morning at 5 o'clock to pray and sing “Halle lujah, ‘tisdono!’’ My friend, Rev. Dr. Jiveph H. Jones, of I'hiiililelplii.i. n translated spirit new, wrote a book entitled, “Man, Moral and I’hysieal,” in wld li ho shows how different the same things may apiwar to different peo ple. llesay.: "After the great battle on tho Minclo in IN.’,', between the French mid Sar dinians en tho ono side and the Austrians on tho other, so disastrous to tho latter, tho defeated iirniy retreated, fol lowv.i by tho victors. A description of the march of each army is given by two corres pondents of tlie London Tiinoß, ono of whom traveled with tlio successful host, the other with tho defeated. The difference in views and statement* ot tho same place, scenes and events, is remarkable. The former arc said to be marching through a beautiful and luxuriant country during the day, luid at night encamping where they are supplied with an nbund in.eo of the best proi imous, and all sorts ot rural dainties There is nothing ot war nteut the pro ceeding except its stimulus and excitement. On the side of the ; cor .Austrians it is just tho reverse. In liis letter of tho same date, de scribing tho same places and a march over the sama wid. the writer can scarcely find won!* to set forth the suffering, iiunnt cnee and dis gvi t existing iirour.il him. 'Vliat was pb .li mit to the former w as Intolerable to the latter. What made all this difference'? asks the journalist. Ono condition only: The French are victorious, the Austrisns have biwn de feated. The contrast may oouruy adisUnctive THE AVEEKLY CCNSTHITION. ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1887. id; .i r.f the extent to v.i.i h moral impressions aficet tlie efficiency of tlie soldier.” So, my dear brother, the road you are trav , eling is tlie same you have been traveling a I lon ' while, but the differetree in your physical conditions makes it look different, and, there- I fore, tlie two nqx rts you have given of your | sedflaro as w idely different as the reports in tlio Loudon Times from the two correspondents. Edward Payson, sometimes so far up on the mount tiiat it seemed as it the centripetal force of the earth could no longer hold him some time through a physical disorder was so far down tiiat it seemed as if the nether world would clutch him. Glorious William Cowper was as good as good could be, and will be loved in the Christian church as long as it sings Ids hymn, beginning: “There is a fountain tilled with blood,” arid his hymn beginning: “Oh for a closer [walk with God,” and his hymn beginning: “What various hindrances we meet,” and his hymn, beginning: ' God moves in a mysterious way.” Yet so was lie overcome of melancholy, or black bile, that it was only through the'mis take of tlie cab-driver who took him to a w rong place, instead of the river bank, that lie did not commit suicide. Spiritual condition so mightily affected by the physical state, what a great opportunity this gives to tlie Christian physician, for he can feel at the same time both the pulse of tlie body and the pulse of tlio soul, and lie can administer to both at once, and if medicine is needed he can give that, and if spiritual coun sel is needed lie can give that—an earthly and a divine prescription at tlie same time—and call on not only the apothecary of earth, but the pharmacy of heaven. Ah, that is the kind of doctor I want at my bedside when I get sick, one that can not only count out the right nuniber of drops, but who can also pray. That is tlie kind of doctor I have had in my house when sickness or death came. Ido not want any of your profligate or atheistic doctors around my loved ones when the balances of life are tremb ling. A doctor who has gone through tlie medical college, and in dissecting room lias traversed tho wonders of the human mechan ism, and found no God in any of the laby rinths, is a fool, and cannot doctor me or mine. Hut, oh, the Christian doctors.‘K What a com fort they have teen in many of our households. And they ought to have a warm place in our prayers, as well as praise on our tongues. Dear old Dr. Skillman! My father’s doctor, my mother’s doctor, in tho village home. Ho carried all tho confidences of all tho families for ten miles around. We all felt better as soon as we saw him enter tlio house. His face pronounced a beatitude before lie said a word. He welcomed all of us children into life, and he closed the old peo ple's eyes when they entered tlie last slumber. I think I know what Christ said to him when tlio old doctor got through his work. I think lie. was greeted with the words: “Come in, doctor. I was sick and ye visited me!” I bless God tiiat the number of Christian phy sicians is multiplying, and some of the stu dents of tlie medical colleges are here today, and I hail you, and I bless you, and I ordain you to tho tender, beautiful, heaven descended work of a Christian physician, and when you take your diploma from tho Long Island medical college, to look after the perishable body, be sure, also, to get a diploma from tho skies to look after the im perishable soul. Let all Christian physicians unite with ministers of tlie gospel in persuad ing good people that it is not because God is against them that they sometimes feel de pressed, but because of their d iseased body. I suppose David, tlio psalmist, was no more pious, when he called on everything human and angelic, animate and inanimate, and front stiowflako to hurricane, to praise God, than when ho said: “Out of tlio depths of hell have I cried unto Thee, O Lord,” or that Jeremiah was any tet ter when ho wrote his Prophecy than when lie wrote his “Lamentations, or that Job was any tetter when ho said: “I know that my Redeemer liveth,” than when covered all over with the pustules of elephantiasis he sat in tlio ashes scratching the scabs off with a broken piece of pottery; or that Alexander Cruden, the concordist, was any tetter man when ho compiled the book that has helped ten thousand students of tlie Bible, than when under the power ot physical disorder he was handcuffed and strait-ivaistcoated in Bethnal Green insane asylum. , “Oh,” says some Christian man, “re ev ought to allow physical disorder to depress Iris soul. He ought to live so near to God as to b 6 always in the sunshine.” Yes, that is good advice; but I warrant that you, tho man who gives tlie advice, has a sound liver. Thank God every day for healthful hepatic condition, for just as certainly as you lose it you will sometimes, like I bivld, andjike Jeremiah, and like Cowper, and like Alexander Cruden, and like ten thousand oilier invalids, be playing a dead inarch on tlie same organ with which now you play a Toccata. My object at this point is not only to oniolliato tlio criti cisms of tlie well ngaint those in poor health, but to show Christian people who are atrabilarious wliat is tlio matter with them. Do not charge against tlie heart tlio crimes of another portion of your organism. Do not conclude tiiat because tho path of heaven is not altered with as tine a foilage, or tlio banks beautifully snowed under with exquisite chy sunthoniums as once, tiiat therefore you are on tlio wrong road. Tlio road will bring you out nt the sumo gate whether you walk with the stride of an athlete or come iip on crutches. Thousands of Christians morbid about their experiences nnd morbid about their business, anil morbid about {tlio present, nnd morbid about the future, need the seruiou 1 am now preaching. Another practical use of this subject is for the young. Tlio theory is abroad that they must first sow their wild oats, and afterwards Michigan wheat. Lot me break tho delusion. Wild outs arc generally sown in tho liver, and they can never be pulled up. They so preoc cupy that organ that there is no room for tho implantation of a righteous crop. You see aged men about us at eighty, erect, agile, splendid, grand old men. How much wildoats did they sow between eighteen years and thirty? None, absolutely none. God does not very often honor with old ago those who have in curly life sacrificed swine on the altar of the bodily temple. Remember, O young man, that while in after life, and after years of dis sipation, you may perhaps have your heart changed, religion does not change tho liver. Trembling mid staggering along these streets today nre men, all bent and decayed and pre maturely old for the reason that they arc pay ing for lions they put upon their physical estate before they were thirty. By early’ dissipation they put on their body a first mortgage, and u second mortgage, and a third mort gage to tlio devil, and these mort gages are now being foreclosed, mid ail that, remains of their earthly estate tho un dertaker will soon put out of sight. Many years ago, in fulfillment of my text, a dart struck through their liver, and it is there yet. God forgives, but outraged physical law never, never, never. That has a Sinai, but no Cal vary. Solomon in my text knew what ho was talking about. He hvd, In early life, teen a profligate, and he rises up on his throne of worldly splendorto shriek out a warning to all tlio centuries. David, bad in early life, but good in later life, cries out with an agony of earnestness: “Remember not the sins of my youth ” Stephen A. Douglas gave tho name of “squatter sovereignty" to those who wont out w< st and took possession of lands and held them by right of preoccupation. Let a flock of sins settle on your heart before you get to twenty-five years of age, and they will tn all probability keep iu pixssesaion of it by an in ternal squatter sovereignty. “I promise to pay at the bank fixe hundred dollars six months from date,” says tho promissory note. “I premise to pay my life thirty years from date at tho bank of the grave,” says every infraction of tho laws of your physical being What? Will a man’s Ixdy never com pletely recover front early dissipation in tliis world? Never. How about tlio world to come? Perhaps God will fix it up in the res urrection body so that it will not have to go limping through all eternity; but get tho liver thoroughly damaged and it Will stay damaged. Physicians call it cancer of tlio liver, or hardening of tho liver, or cirrhosis of [ the liver, or inflammation of the liver, or I fatty degeneration of th# liver; but Solomon puts all these pangs into one figure nnd says: i “Till tlio dart strikes through lu* [liver.” i Hesiod seeuied to liaxe Si mo hint of this when ho represented Prometheus for hi* ! crimes fastened to a pillar and an eagle feed j Ing on Ins liver, which was renewed again , each nigl.t, so that the devouring wonton until fl t ally Hercule* »lew tho eagle and rescued ■ Vroiiietlious. And a dissipated early life as sures a ferocity pocking and claw ing away nt : tho liver yeiu in and year out, aud death i* I the only Hercules who can break tiro power of j it* beak or unclench it* claw. So also Virgil i and Hom*r wrvto fables about vultures prey- ing upon the liver, but there are those here to day with whom it is no fable, but a terrific rea 1 i ty. l i.nt young man smoking cigarettes and smoking cigars lias no idea that he is getting for himself smoked liver. Tiiat young man has no idea that he has by early dissipation so depleted his energies tiiat lie will go into the battle only half armed. Napoleon lost Water* 100 days before it was fought. Had he attack ed the English army before it was reinforced, and taken it division by division, he might have won the day, but he waited until he had only one hundred thous and men against two hundred thousand. And here is a young man who, if lie put all his forces against the regiment of youthful temp tations, in the strength of God might drive them back, but he is allowing them to be rein forced by the whole army of mid-life tempta tions, and when all these combined forces are massed against him and no Grouchy conies to help him, and Blucher lias come to help his foes, what but immortal defeat can await him ? Oil, my young brother, do not make the mistake that thousands all aronnd you are making, in opening the battle against sin too late, for this world too late, and for tho worlds to corrie too late. What brings that express train from St. Louis into Jersey City three hours late ? They lost fifteen minutes early on Hie route, and that affected them all the way, and they had to be switched off here and switched off there, and detained here and de tained there, and the man who loses time and strength in tlie earlier part of the journey of life, will suffer for it all tho way through, the first twenty years of life damaging the follow ing fifty years. Some years ago a scientific lecturer went through the country exhibiting on great can vas different parts of the human body when healthy, and different parts when diseased. And what the world wants now is some elo quent scientist to go through tlie country showing to our young people on blazing can vas the drunkard’s liver, the idler's liver, the libertine’s liver, the gambler's liver. Perhaps the spectacle might stop some young man be fore lie comes to tlie same catastrophe, and the dart strike through his own liver. HMy bearer, tills is the first sermon you have heard on tlie gospel of health, and it may be i tho last you will ever hear on the subject, and I charge you in tlie name of God, and Christ, and usefulness, and eternal destiny, take bet ter care of your health. When some of you die, if your friends put on your tombstone a j truthful epitaph, it will read: “Here lies the ! victim of late suppers;” or, it will be: “Be- : hold what chicken salad at midnight will do I for a man;” or it will be: “Ten ' cigars a day closed tnv earthly ! existen?."’;” or it will be: “Sat down in | a cold draught and this is tlie result,” or it will j be : “I died of thin shoes last winter;” or it will’.;: “Went out without anovercoat and took tliis last chill;” or it will be: “Thought I could do at seventy what I did at twenty, and lam here;” or it will be: “Here is the conse quence of sitting a half day with wet feet;” or it will be: “This is where I have stacked my harvest of wild oats;” or, instead of words, the stone cutter will chisel for an epitaph on the tombstone two figures: namely, a dart and a liver. There is a \.'nd of sickness that is beautiful when it comes from overwork for God, or one’s country, or one’s own family. I have seen wounds tiiat were glorious. After the battle of Antietam in tlie hospital a soldier, in reply to my question, "Where are you hurt?” un covered his bosom and showed me a gash that looked like a badge of eternal nobility. I have seen an empty sleeve that was more beautiful than the most muscular forearm. I have seen a green shade over the eye shot out in battle that was more beau tiiul than any two eyes that had passed without injury. I have seen an old mission ary, worn out with tho malaria of African jun gles, who looked to me more radiant than a rubicund gymnast. I have seen a mother, after six weeks’ watching over a family of children down with scarlet fever, with a glory around her pale and wan face that surpassed the angelic. It all depends on how you got your sickness and in what battle your wounds. Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, tho pride of New Jersey—aye, of tho nation —and ono o’ tho pillars of the Christian church, and for nearly four years practically • «*efx‘,dent of the United States, although in the Wlfi'o of secretary of state, in hiadetermination to make peace with all tho governments on this American continent, wore himself out, and while his brain was as keen as it over was, and his heart beat as regularly as it ever did, ho was, according to the bulletin of his physicians at AV ashington and Newark, dying of hardening of the liver. Satan, who does not like good men, sent a dart through his liver. The last my dear friend—for he was my friend and my father’s friend before me— tlio last ho was seen in Washington was in tho president’s carriage, leaning his bead against the shoulder of tho president on his way to the depot to take tho train to go home to die. Martyr of the public service, he died for his country, though ho died in time of peace. In his earlier life ho was called tho nephew of his uncle, Theodore Frelinghuysen, but lie lived to render for God and his country a service tiiat will make others proud to be his nophow, and which will keep his name on tlio scroll of history as the highest stylo of Christ ian statesman tiiat this century or any other century has produced. My Lord and my God! if wo must get sick and worn out, let it bo in Thy service, and in tlie effort to make the world good and happy. Not in the service of sin. No! No! One of the most pathetic scenes that I ever witnessed, and I often see it, is thatjof men or women converted in tlio fifties or sixties or seventies wanting to be useful, but they so served the world and Satan in tlie earlier part of thoir life that they have no physical energy left for the service of God. They sacrificed nerves, muscles, lungs, heart and liver on the wrong altar. They fought on the wrong side, and now, when their sword is all hacked up and their ammunition all gone, they enlist for Emmanuel. When tlio high-mettled cavalry .horse, which that man spurred into many a cavalry charge with champing bit and flaming eyo and neck cloth ed witli thunder, is worn out and spavined and ring-boned and spring-halt, he rides up to tho great Captain of our salvation on tho white horse and offers his services. When such persons might have teen, through tho good habits of a lifetime, crashing tho battle-ax through helmeted iniquities, they are spending their days and nights in discussing tlio test way of breaking up their indigestion aud quieting their Jangling nerves and rous ing their laggard appetite and trying to extract the dart from their outraged liver. Better converted Into than never! Oh, yes; for they will got to heaven. But they will go afoot when they might have wheeled up tlio steep hills of thesky in Elijah's chariot. There is an old hymn that wo used to sing in the country meeting house when I was a boy, and I remember how tlie old folks’ voices trembled with emotion while they sang it. I have for gotten all but two lines but those lines are tho peroration of my sermon: “ ’Twill save us from a thousand snares To mind religion young.” Pain front indigestion, dyspepsia, and too hearty eating is relieved at once by taking ono of Carter’s Little Liver Pills immediately after dinner. Don’t forget this. Not Toße iHteiicd That Way. From the Mississippi Journal. “There, take that,” said a rcd-hcadcd fe male as she brought her parasol with a tremendous whack on the head of an Inoffensive-looking mid dle-aged geutletnan who sat opp- s te her lu an out going Fourth avenue car last night, about half-past six. •‘Madam! I—ah—l don't understand the reason for this. How have I offended you ?’’ "Don't madam me, sir.

No, sir.” Th* ir.oflbnslve Iv.klng man with a crushed Derby hat and a woebegone countenance dropped off tho rear platform of the car i-bout a minute later.

Hence She proper method bv which to cure catarrh, is to purifu the blood. Its many disagreeable symptoms, and the danger of developing into bronchitis or that terribly fatal disease, consumption, are en tirely removed by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which cures catarrh by purifying the blood. Read the following letter: “I cheerfully give my experience in the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla. I had been troubled with catarrh to some extent for a long time, and pad used various medicines with no good results, when I was so affected that Speech Was Difficult and my voice was entirely unnatural. I then began to use Hood's Sarsaparilla as a remedy, and with such good effect that in a few weeks speech was easy, the voice natural, and my general health was much improved. Sometimes a return of the disease is induced by taking cold, when I resort at once to the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which I keep by me constantly, and always find relief. I regard Hood's Sarsaparilla as an invaluable remedy for catarrh, and judging by its effects upon myself I cannot say too much in its praise.” J. S. Cilley, Jericho, Vt.

We are Giving to ALL SUBSCRIBERS OF , The Weekly Constitution This book contains 480 pages; is eight and one-half inches long, six inches wide, and two inches thick. It is printed on extia heavy paper, and is handsomely bouud, with embossed cover and giltr lettered back. D It is Different from All Other Works of the Kind Ever Published. First. It teaches those who have it how to tell what the matter is when a person gets sick! , .AH similar books tell what to do if you know what the disease is. This book tells you how to detect the disease, and then what to do for it. NO OTHER BOOK PUBLISHED DOES THIS. Second. .When a person is really attacked by a dangerous disease, it enables you to know the factJ and in such cases its advice is; "aend lor a competent physician at once.” Hut in all ordinary cases, such as cun be easily cured (and most of the ailments of a family are of this kind, if only you could recognize them) it gives full directions for treatment. The point is, that it teaches you to between a dangerous and a trifling disease, and tells you when it is necessary, aud when not necessarv. to call a physician. NO OTHER BOOK PUBLISHED DOES THIS. Third. In its directions for treatment it is not confined to the practice used by any one class of physß cians; but it gives, separately, aud for each disease, the methods use ! by each of the different "schools” of medicine; and in all cases the prescriptions nre made by tho most < minent men in their res) e five modes of practice. This makes the work specially suited to the needs of every family, no matter what "school” of medicine they prefer. NO OTHER BOOK PUBLISHED DOES THIS. Besides this there are three chapters in the work which are worthy of snecial mention, namely- those' on ’ Diseases of Women,” “Diseases of Infants,” and “Care of the Sick.” The fi’.S- of these is a model of its kind. It is chaste in lamrurg*, contains no distrusting pictures/ for children to happen on and be over-curious about, and taken altogether is the most practical, sensible’ and straightforward treatise upon this delicate subject that has ever b jen printed. This chapter alone is worth many times the cost of the book to every mother, even if it had to bo : purchased at its regular price. E.
