THE STUDY OF SCIENCE.

The British Association is this year meeting at Aberdeen, Sir Lion Playfair presiding. In his opening address he chose a subject wl ich was most congenia to a man of hie habits of thought—viz.' The Bttuly of abstract science is essentia] to the progress of industry." He insisted upon the importance of prompting science as the duty of stagecraft, and shpewd how Germany, France, and the United States are .making far more energetic efforts to popularise science and to utilise it for the benefit of commerce and industry than Great firitian lias thus far made, He declared that there is a lamentable deficiency in science among the middle classes, He showed how the dead languages wero still cultivated at the expense of science"," and lamented that on account of the lack of scientific knowledge German enterprise is pushing aside English incapacity in South Africa and elsewhere. The technical College at Zurich had, ho stated, been the means of making Switzerland' a, prosperous manufacturing country.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS Are never imitated or counterfeited. This is espeoially true of a familv-medicine, and it is positive proof that-r^k,remedy imitated is of the highest value. 'As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuab e medicine on earth, many imitations sprang up and began to steal tluf notices in which the press and people of the country had expressed the merits of H, 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to uso their stuff instead expecting tomalce money on the cred.it and good name, of H. B. Many others stavped nostrums put up- in simijar style to-H, 8., with variously devised names in' which the. word " Hop" or " Hops" were used in a wayto induce people to believe %t they, were the same as Hop Bitters, All bucH pretended remedies', no matter what; their style or name' is, and especiallythose with the word "Hop" or " Hops" in their name, or .in any way connected, with them or thejr name, are imitations, or counterfeits. Beware of them, Touch, none of them,.

' A Lovely Uhaplet.—A late, fashion report says: "Nothing can bo prettier than aehaplet of hop vines in blossom," A recent medical review says: " Nothing can be a' better renovator of the health than American Hop Bitters. They aid in all the operations of nature; toning up the stomach, assisting the food to become properly assimilated, and promote healthy acti"! in all the organs. The dictates of fashki, as well.as the laws of health, alike favour a right application of hops." Read. Mothers Don't Know.—How many children are punished for being uncouth, wilful and indifferent to instructions or reward simply because they are out. of health! An intelligent lady said of a child of this, kind :" Mother don't know that she should give the little one moderate doses of American Go's Hop Bitters f»v ,t\vo or three weeks, and the child would be all a parent could desire."
