" WiiKBKVhK you will tiinl many men you will find many minds," exclaimed a public speaker, " ' Taint so, by jingo," lesponded one of the .auditors. " If you'd only ask this whole crowd out to take a drink, you'd find 'cm all of one mind. ' The lecturer "raved " without trying the experiment. A FoithKJNKR who had heard of the Yankee propensity for bragging, thought he would beat the natives at tlicii own game. Seeing some large water melons on a market worpan 'a stand, ho exclaimed: "What! don't you laise larger apples thin these in Amenc.i?" The quickwitted woman replied : "Apples ■ anybody might know you are <i foieigner ; them's gooseberries. Commenting on the foims of legal phraseology, an exchange says :— A gnl committed suicide the othei day, and this is how the veidict came out, dicssfd in legal garb — "The said M.ny I v cng..ui, in a fit of temporary insanity, on or about the second day of July, ISV>, she being lunatic and distiacted, one end of a ceitain piece of rope did fasten on to the lidgepole of a certain hut, the piopeitj of the Human Catholic Mission, Situated at Te Painga, Wiima, Hoki mg.i, and the other end about hei neck did li\. tie and fistcn, and thficuith did htng, suffocate, and strangle heiself, of whidi the said hanging, sulfocation, and sti angling she, the said Mary Peni/an not being at the time of sound mind, memoiy or understanding, but lunatu- and distracted, in the mnnnei ami by the nuans aforesa'd did kill heiself " . s o-ue of the bucolic jurors, after reading the above veidict, liad their doubts as Ui whither the de ceased aforesaid had hanged htiself afoiesaid at all. MrUHV LlIANfs I\ Co\sl MI'TIDN — Dr Quinlan, of Dublin, read befoie the International Medical Congress at (.'open hagen last ycai an inti rc»tin« paper on the medical qmlit.es of the mullein. It has attracted widespiead attention, and among the more icient ai.eles confir matoiy of Dr Qinnl.in's statements is one by Dr Wilfert, of (Jnninniti, whuh appears in a recent niimbei of tl.e Lancet and Clinic of that city. Fiom the results obtained 127 cases of pulmomiy consumption treated l>y Dr Qmnhn with mullein alone, he draws the following conclusions, w Inch are condensed from bin original article \i/; -1. In tne e.uliei and pretubercular stage of pulmoniry consumption, mullein nas a weight mrr leasing and curative power greater than that of cod li\er oil, and equal to that (if Ilussian koumiss. — 2. In cases wheie tubercles aie well established or cavities exist, the mullein has great power in leleaving cough— a greit boon to conBumptives, whose weak stomachs too frequently cannot tolerate the usual cough remedies. 3 Phthisical dianlxea is completly obviated by the mullein. 4 Mullen has no power or effect on the night sweats of consumption, which should be combated by atiopu sulphate The method of useing the mullein, winch originated among the lush peasantiy, and was udoptel by Dr Qmiilari just as he found it, is as following :— Time ounces of the fiesh green leaves, or about one tenth that much of the dued, aie boiled in a pit of fresh row's milk. After boiling a moment the infusion is allowed to stand and "sipc" for ten minutes, when it is strained, sweetened, and drunk while warm. This quantity is taken twice or three times a day. It is generaly much relished by the patients, who regard it as a pleasant article of diet rather than as a medicine. The smoke of the mullein leaves inhaled into the respuatory passages relieves initation and spasmodic cough. Dr Wilfci t states that he has followed Dr Quinl.in's method in 20 cases of undoubted pulmouaiy phthisis, all of them more or less ad vanctd, and all nnpioved dining the administration of mullein, no other diugs being used. These results aie certainly very encouraging, and should be followed up. The Bad and Worthless are never umlutcl or loimd >fi iinl. This is especial'y true ofafnnily medicine, am' it is positive proof that the remedy imituftff is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proud by the whole woi ld that Hop Bitters- was the purest, best and the most valu ible family medicine on earth, many inntat'ons sprung up and began to steil the notices in which th« press and the people of the countiy had expressed the ineiits of H 15 , and in every way trying to induce Hiiffeiing invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the ( redit and good name of H. I}. Many others started nos trum'H put up in similar style to H B , with variously devised names in which the word " Hop" or " Hops" weie used in a way to induce people to believe they weio the same as Hop Bitters. All such fire tended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is and especially those with the woid " Hop" oi " Hops" in their name or in any way con nect< A with them or their name, are imitations oi counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use no thins; but genuine American Hop Bitten, with a cluster of green Hop<? on the w hite label, and Dr Soule'a name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are womed against dealing in nnitd Jons or counterfeits,
