We want, to thank numerous friends for their indorsement of our editorials last week. In them, we endeavored to be absolutely fair, giving the Dispensary nothing that did not belong to it, and honestly we don't believe that there is a thing that belongs to it, and handling the question of good and better stock as it should be handled. ? We sometime have to laugh at ourselves for our habit of fault-finding, but generallv ex cuse it on the ground that wtieu we do find fault, we are gutter ing from an attack of chronic, spazmodic dyspepsia. This, as we all know, causes a contraction of tiie byherbismic nerve, which always results in hy^ermidic parnlisoyd. Any physician will explain these terms to yon, but' they are in such common use that we think all will understand them. We are almost, cured of that ailment now, and th4 -read ers of The Peoplt may expect less of this sort of thing} in the future. ? Hf?re, you people who are borrowing The People. Sub scribe to it, and have one of your own. We wauldn't give a slice of dried apple for a man who, when able to take as good a pa. nor hs ours is supposed to be, borrows the paper from perhaps a poorer neihbor or friend. Come down to it my friend, if you are one of teose who are reading a borrowed paper.
