Of all the erroneous notions pertaivingto the pre vation of health, says the “ Sanitarian,” no one is fraught with more mischief than that about taking cold. According to the popular, and T may also say the to some ex- yfessi taking cold is th 1 death produ per cent of tho tent pre nal view, greatest disease an er in the world. Full eighty se who consult physicians premise by saying they have taken cold. If a relapse occurs during convalescence,ten to one the blame is laid on the action of cold. “ My pain is greater, | must have taken cold ; my cough is worse, I must have taken cold ; I do not feel as well this morning, i think I have taken cold, but I don't see how,” are expressions which the The latter is often thereby led to the reflection physician hears adozen times a day. that if it were not for death-dealing colds he convalescence But if the physician take the trouble to think a little more on the subject, he will be convinced that to his own craftis due this stereotyped } His would have little todo, and would seldom be interrupted. complaint of patients The sick and their friends always take their cue about diseases and never-ending about taking cold n ani its causes from the trusted family doctor, sary and he accounts very often indeed for an ag- gravation of the symptoms of those under his by is very difficult te charge (the cause of which aggravation, the way, may be and o%ten ! detect) by the easy an tisfying explana- tion of having taken cold.

To this end precautions of the most thorough character are scrupulously observs ed, and yet cold after cold is taken, the pa- knows not tient, mother nurse how. When the human body is at its prime—with or youth, vigor, purity and a good constitution on its side—no degree of ordinary exposure to cold gives rise to any unplessant effects.

If the pre-existing fault be ina deficient excretion of lactic and uric acids by the kidneys and skin, the disease developed by the cold will be rheumatic: if the lungs be at fault, either abuses, inflammation will be likely to ensue; by acquired or inherited or if there be conjoined with the pulmonary fault an impure condition of the blood from the long-continued re-breathing of breathed air,consumption will not unlikely show itself, In no other way can the influence of cold in be ac- counted for; developing this disease in one the deviopement of diverse disease and that disease in another; this disease at one time ina person and another disease at anotherftime ; while at other times of the sea- sons great and prolonged exposure to cold is harmless. A Piqua girl who had a quarrel with a lover remarked to a friend that “she wasn’t in squeezing terms with that fraud any more.” Some people are not endowed with the faculty of seeing a joke. Lord Morpeth used to tell of a Scotch friend, who, to the remark that some people could not feel a jest unless it was fired at them with a canon, replied, “« Weel, but hoo can can ye fire a jest out of @canon mon?” DRIVING AND KILLING SEALS, iclssianilaiie \ walk @ half a mile down from the vil- wo to the reef on St. Paul Island, any time during September, says a sorrespondent writ from B ng’s Straits, will carry you tothe parade g Is of r lwo hun fred thousan " imong which you caa lowly make your way, while th clear out m 1 uth ahead, and close again in yor u ily rrupting them in thir sleep or at play for a lew m ments.

Coleridge’s Test.—Coleridge, the poet. un- der the extreme of mental depression, eniist- ed in the light Dragoons, at London. The inspector of recruits, eyeing him severely, asked his name. ‘ Comerbach,” was the re- ply. “ What have you come here for, sir?” —ws if suspecting something. ‘Sir,’ said Coleridge, ** for what most other men enlist for—to be made a soldier. “ Do you think you coul! run a Frenchman through the body ?”’ asked the General. «“ I don’t know, as I never tried,’ replied the poet; ‘‘ but I'd let a Frenchman run me through before I'd run away.”’ “That will do,” replied the General, and Coleridge was passed into the ranks. He made a »oor dragoon however and never ads vanced beyond the “ awkward squad.”’ Signature of the Gross.—The mark which persous who are unable to write are requir- ed so make instead of their signatures is in the form of a cross; and this practice, having formerly been followed by kings and nobles, is constantly ref-rved to as an instanee of the deplorable ignorance of ancient times. This signature is not, however, invariably a proof such ignorance. Anciently the use of the mark was not conlined to illiterate persons ; for among the Saxons the mark of the cross, as an attestation of the good faith of the person signing, was required to be attached to the signature of those who could write, as well as to stand in the place of those who could not. In these times, ifa man could write, or even read, his knowledge was con- sidered proef that he was,in holy orders. The clericus or clerk, Was synonymous with the penman ; and the laity, or people who were not clerks, did not feel any urgent necessity for the use of letters. The ancient use of the cross was therefore universal, alike by those who could and those who could not write ; it was, indeed, the symbol of an oath, from sacred associations, as well as the mark gen- erally adopted. Hence the origin of the ex- pression ‘‘ God save the mark,” as a form of ejaculation approaching the character of an oath. Book Learning.—The faith in lesson books and readings is one of the superstitions of the age. Even as appliances to intellectual culture, books are greatly overeestimated. Somathing gathered from printed pages is supposed to enter into a course of education: but, if gathered by observation of lifa and nature, is supposed not thus to enter. Reading is seeing by proxy—is learning ins directly through another man’s faculties, in- stead of directly through one’s own faculties: andsuch isthe prevailing bias that the indirect learning is thought preferable to the direct learning and usurps the name of cultivation. Valuable knowledge can be obtained only by persenal effort. Every one must traverse the hills and vallays for himself, and it is only by unremitting application and perse- verance that the attempt will be crowned with success. But to the devoted, persever- ing seekers,success Is certain. The state of mind is such as to insure the best use being made of any accessible helps, and of the exe ercise of ingenuity and application in surs mounting dilliculties even in absence of all foreign aid. Whatever may be his present deficiencies and disadvamlages, the person— especially the young person—who is so sens sible of the value of knowledge as to apply his heart to understanding—to seek for it as for silver, and to search for it as for hidden treasures—assuredly shall not seek in vain. Knowledge is the prize of application—the reward of constant and unwearying efforts, The indolent seeker after learning is no more apt to gain scholarly culture than the lazy Jaborer by self-elfort is to heap up wealth, \ QUEEN SQUARE FURNITURE WAREROUMS ! —_——_——— | a Our premises have heen greatly enlarged and are now the LARGEST and BEST ARRANGED IN THE CITY, and equal to any in the Lower Provinces.

West Queen Square, Charlottetown. June 8, 1874.—tf | for past favors, respectfully intimates to | | | | Dr. J. Walker’s California Vin- egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, ‘* What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VinrGar Brr- TERS?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re- covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vingear Birrers in healing the sick of every disease manis heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. WALKEr’s VineGar BITTERS are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudoritic, Altera- tive. and Anti-Bilioas. R. H. McDONALD SOO, Deen ry inate tak Conon Oo 8. Ty , Seld by ot Eonaniste and Dealers. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vrv- EGAR BITTERS the most wonderful In- vigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. @ No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter- mittent Fevers, which are so preva- lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan- sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tribytaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkabiy so during sea- sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow- erful influence upon these various or- gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. WALKER’S VINEGAR BITTERs, as they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAE, Bitrers. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head- ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tation of the Heart, Inflammation of th: Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid- neys, and a hundred other painful symp- toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise- ment. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, Whito Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis- eases, WALKER’s VineGaR Bitrers havo shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en- gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALEER’s VIN- EGAR Bitrers occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. - Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the y terme of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No Pen of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- thelminitics will free the system from worns like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo- manhoed, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores, cleanse it when you find it obstructed and — in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. H. McDONALD & CO., Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, California, aud cor. of Washington and Charlton Sts., N. ¥.
