Dr. Harlow, Medical Superiutendant of the | Maine Lasane Hospital, has eliminated sume start- | ling statistics of madueds, deamonstrating the con- | necting links between dyspepsia and insanity in a| very impressive manner. la a plain and lucid style he explains that the unhealthy condition of the stumach is chiefly attributable tu the dietetic habits of the American peovle; that a strong sympathy existe between the brain and the stomach, and in conclusion argues that nothing is wore common than & deranged atate of the stomach and bowels, and that indigestion and! costiveness are the iuvariable adjuncts of ivsanity He finally adinits that all these predispositions cau be counteracted by peoper care and strict attention—a strict regimen, and the judicious use of vegetable medicines. The foregoing doctrine is vothing more thau an endorsement or correbor- ation of the treatment prescribed by Professor Hulloway twenty-six years ago, and still practised by him with the greatest success in all parts of the civilized world. With the imtuition of a savant, Professor Holloway, after great studs and deep research, divined that the stomach was the parent source of nearly all disorders, such as indigestion, headache, liver complaint, mental aud bedily prostratiun, and his celebrated Pills were the glorious result after many years ot scientific investigation. Through the stomach and circulation these Pills act on the general ayatem. ‘They purify the blood, renovate the digestive organs, invigorate their action and re- store their natural tone and power. ‘They stimu- late the seeretions of the liver, regulate the tune- tions of the bowels, give buoyancy to the animal apirits, elasticity to the body, and health and vigour to the general constitution. Containing no mineral preparations, they can be prescribed | with as much benefit for the infant as for the | adult of either sex.— Weekly Journal.

A ‘‘fast’’ young clerk, employed in a dry | goods store in Detroit, has recently been} caught robbing his employers. His plan| was to withhold about one-half of the money received fur cash sales, and in this way he managed, in the course of a few months, to steal over a thousand dullars. How many drinking, emoking, fast young men of this city are paying for their pleasures and de- baucheries in the same way?
