MEDICAL. MEDICAL REFORM. DISTINGUISHED MEMBER cf the l Church of England said at a recent church congress that whilo political reform meant bringing in something new, ecclesiastical reform meant bringing in something old. This is true; for anything less than 1,800 years old cannot produce a ''Thuß saith the Lord!" for its sanction. The genuine Apostles left no successors. This last statement can with the strictest regard to truth be used in reference to medical reform. Bringing iu the old remedies used by Hippocrates, Galen, and the fathers of the healing art is the best way to reform the practice of medicine. Not that we condemn searching for new remedies; but why seek them among the minerals, when our fields and forests abound with what has been rightly termed the "true medicine of nature"? For the last eight years we have been trying to help forward this reform, and that with no small measure of success, as hundreds who have, to use their own language, received a new lease of life from using the herbal remedies compounded by us, can testify. The growth and success of hei'tulism can only be rightly estimated by referring to America, where it is prospering on a gigantic scale. Thousands of tons of pressed herbs are sold and sent to nearly all part* of the world, and the demand is still increasing, Persons who wish to . see the style in which the herbs are put up are cordially invited to call on us, As a rule people do not care about preparing their own medicine; so, in order to meet their wishes, we have prepared a number of compounds for the various ills to which flesh is heir. Space will only permit of calling attention to a few. MEDICINE FOR THE HEAD.—There is no use ignoring the fact that men, women, and children like a good head of hair. Erowing this, medicos have compounded mixtures of lead, zinc, arsenic, sulphur, antimony, etc, etc., and one knows not what, which they oil ''hair reneweis" and "restorers," warranted to change tho color to a beautiful black and glossy hue. How far they have succeeded in this the many bald heads amongst us will testify. We have a compound of purely vegetable extracts of the best-known remedies for the falling out of the hair; for restoring it after fever, and other distressing maladies which cause the hair to fall off. It has proved successful in many cases, and cannot do any harm in any case.—2s 6d per Boz bottle. HEADACHE.—The following account was given yesterday by n, fireman on the Union Company's steamship Hawea. Mr —— said: —" I had suffered for a fortnight with a distressing headache. I came and consulted you and you gave me a shilling box of Headache Fills and a shilling bottle of Fain-curer. I rubbed the Curer on my brow and felt ii relieved at first; tho second application took the ache clean away. The Cuter must have drawn out the inflammation, for it has not troubled me since. Our mate was also suffering from a bad headache, and it cured him. Your Medicines are getting a good name on our steamer." All who are troubled with headache think o" this. NEURALGIA.
