We regret it bceause the tendency of such strictures is to weaken the hand of our officers, to lessen their influence for good, and to crcato distrust and division at a time when we most need unity and concert.

THEY CONTAIN NO MERCURY._ Darby's Prophylactic Fluid. gST" The Editor of thc Jacksonville, Ala. tie publican is one of the oldest and most reliable newspaper men in tho South. In a recent number sf his paper, he says : "We are gratified in being able, most candidly and sincerely, to recommenl this trnly valuable and usefal medicine to our readers. We have used it in our family, and know bow highly it is estimated by others who have used it." Poisonous Medicines* The theory that the virus of dieeaso can le safely counteracted by doses of poison, is false ind dangerous. Within the last twenty-five rears, not less than a score of virulent poisons iiavc been added to the repository of tbe medical profession. They are given in small doses, Jthcrwise they would destroy life immediately; but eren in minute quantities, they produce, ultimately, very disastrous effects, lt is unwise md anpbilosophical to employ, as remedies. powerful aud insidious drugs, which,in subjuga? ting one disease, sow the seeds ot another still nore unmanageable. None of there terrible medicaments operate1 with n* much directness md certainty upon the causes of disease as Hosteler's Stomach Bitters, a tonic and corrcc ;ive, without a tingle deleteniuiiB ingredient in it* ronipotition. Arsenic and quinta are given for r.termittents ; bromide of potassium for nervous lisorders ; strychnine and prussic acid for goner il debility; mercury, in various forms, for liver complaint ; preparations of chloroform and opinai "or sleeplessness ; and yet thc?c deadly drugs do sot compare, as specifics for tho disease? above mumcrated, with that wholesome vegetable in yigorant and alterative, while they are all so pernicious that it is astonishing any physician should take thc responsibility of prescribing them. L?t invalids, for tbeir own takes, try the Bitters before they resort to the poisons. The relief they wiil experience from a course of the harmless specific, will render a r? course to tlc unsafe preparations referred to, quito unneces? sary. A'..-y. itt C.
