certainty exists as to the origin and pathology ofthe dise~e, still its physiognomy is specific.

Trpe to know it is merely to know that fact, as

to know, that, force exists and has'its laws, is toknow all that it g to 'mb to discover of the

force itself.The great tovery of Newton-that starting

point f ph ?ad science-gave us no mors realinsighi 41: t4essence of attraction than thl'dis-

cove • flof Yellow Fever into its pathologyand r. jHe only told us the true and exact

mode i re~Ih the force that draws together the

ultima •rticles of matter and the masses of the

Unive( operates. He found out the law, not the

force of alp n. If then the physician can, by

the observtion of phenomena and by the process

of induction find out the laws of the normal and

abnormal action of the animal econorly, towards

a certain condition, he has accomplished for the

science of life, what Newtop did for that of physicsand Dalton for that of chimistry. He can with per-tinency say : That, is a case of Yellow Fever, nomatter how little he knows of that ci 'ition.CAnd this fact was enunciated.In this instance, the physician with the little

he knew, guld have made something. The mee-ting did nothing.

"Ex rihilo iil fit."And yet, it is commonly said that mnedical men

live bydisease, and cannot naturally be expectedto bestir themselves for its removal.... as if themore the honest man knows, the less energeticallyhe1'ould appeal to the-intelligence of his fellow-

From the Hon, Peter e inard, one of theoidest Settlers in Illinois.

It gives me pleasure to add my testimony to thevii toes ofyour great medicine. One of my bloodedhorses had a swelling over the cap of the knee, a-bout the size of a hen's egg. Some said it was astrain, and some. that it was the joint water fromthe knee.and could not be cured. I tried oil cedaron it, and all the liniments and ointiments, and theydid no more good than water. I.then by persua-sion of my iriends, tried H. G. Farrell's ArabianLiniment, and I was happy to find it take effect af-ter a few days, and it finally cured the noble ni-mal entirely. I think it is decidedly the greatestliniment for horse as well as human flesh. I everknew.

[Esq. Baker, '.f New Canton, Ill, says .]Mr. II. G. Farrel:'- Arabian Liniment has cure,

some bad cases here, which every other remedy lh,..failed in; one was a white swelling and coutra,:tedcords in the legofa boy twelve years old. The leghad withered away, and was so contracted tlat hehad ro USE of it. Three doctors had tried theiiskill upon it in vain, and he was fast siukisg to thegrave, when the boy's father was induced to try H.G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Before the firstbottle was used up he came into Mr.. B.'s store, andthe first words he said were, "Mr. Beaker, I want allkthat Liniment you havi in the store; the one bottleI got did my boy more good than all that had everbeen done before." That boy is now well andhearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good forsprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.

Being fully satisfied that H. G. Farrell's ArabianLiniment is the best medicine in the world, I cleer-fully recommend it. I had been afflicted for 16years with a most severe pain in my breast artIshoulders, which wad so Lad that I could hardly doany work at all, and. would often have to lie in bedfor two weeks at a time with it. I used your lin-iment on it, and it cured me sound and well. Ihad, at the time of using your liniment: one of theworst coughs ever I had in my life; and it cured thattoo. I rubbed it in well over my breast an•d shoul-ders. It is also excellent for frost-bitten feet, sores,swellings, sore throat, mange, erysipelas. &c.
