ACKS.
t Medical Frauds Whose Ntmn Are Re
corded In the Fkges or History.
The gre.it London quack of ths titna
of Claries II. was Dr. Thomas Safold.
He was or ginally a weaver, but adopt
ed the more paying business of pre
tending; to cure all d soases and profess
ing to foretell the destinies of his pa
tients. The apothocar'es of that time
not only actod as med'eal quacks, but
also as fortune-tellers. Queen Anne
had weak eyes and was an enthusiastic
patron of vulgar ignorance in the form
of eye-doctors. Two of them she fan
cied especially; and one of these, . Will
iam Reado, she made a Baronet, al
though he was most wretchedly igno
rant, as a "Short and Exact Account ot
AH the Diseases Incident to the Eyes,"
which h publishes 1, remains to testify.
Keado wai a worthless tailor, but he
stepped into a fashionable and paying
practice after he obtained the royal
favor. He was unable to read the took
wh!ch he wrote (by thehanaofascr.be),
but that made no difference to the
wealthy fools, his patrons. The
Queen s other favorite quack oculist
was Roger Grant, a retired coVbler and
Anabaptist preacher. Grant was in the
habit of pablish'ng minute accounts of
h"s cures, mostly a tissue of lies, but
with encugh truth interwoven to give a
aetublancj of probability. His favorite
plan was to secure some poor person
whose sight was lnijt'rfect, and after
giving him money and medicines for a
few w-.eks perua;ie him to sign a test"
mon'al that he had been born blind and
had never enjoyed the sense of sight
until I'rov'dence had le I him to Dr.
Grant, who had cured him in litt'e more
than a month. If he could buy a cer
tificate from the clergymen and churc'i
warden i of the parish where the alleged
patient lived, to the effect that the teti
monial was true, ve:y well; if he could
not ob ain genuine documents of th:
knd he could always find people to
fore thoni for a smali'sum. The recent
impudent cert ticates. apparently signed
by numerous prominent people, attest
ing the v rtues of a bra-id of bit
ters made . in an Eastern city,
show that the qtfeks of this
order are st'U to be found ply
ing the'r infamous trade. The most
famous and learned, for the t:m3
physicians of that age, did not disdain
to "deal in secret nostrums. Thus. Sir
Hans S'oane sold an eye salve, and Dr.
Meade a remedy for hydrophobia. Con
sequently the quacks were justilied in
making what they could out of a public
which was not too intelligent to bs
swindled by their most renowned phy
sicians. The doctors, at least, had no
reasonable gronnji for complarnt. In
the 8 ee'alnr for July 27, 1714, there is
an amusing account of a typ cal quack
of the period, and Steele ' has recorded
some capital anecdotes of these gentry.
One of them c'a'med he could cure
cataracts "because he had lost an eye in
the Emper; r"s srrvice. Tn:s evidence
of abilitv was thought all sufficient by
the good people who patronized him".
One fe'low, calling himself Dr. Katter

vertising iTepartment of one of Brook

"Am advertisement to command atten
tion must be orig'nal. The public have
tired of snch ads.' as 'John Smith will
receive his customers at his old stand,'
or "Blank & Blank sell dry goods

The present generation is progressive,

GREA
a historic Sword
The Weapon Wielded by Captain Held at
the "Ther mopyla of the Ocean.
The presentation to Congress, through
the President, by Colonel Samuel' C.
Reid, of the battle saber of his father,
the late Captain Samuel Chester Reid,
who commanded the United States private-armed
brig-of-war General - Arm
strong at the battle Fayal in Septem
ber, 1814, is excuse enough for reviving
some incidents which have passed out
of mind. The Armstrong was a little
brig of but 210 tons, carrying but 7
guns . and 90 men.- She was at
tacked in the neutral waters of the
Azore. Islands by a British squadron,
consisting of the-ship-of-the-line Plan
tagenet, the frigate Reta, and the
sloop-of-war Carnation, with a total
amount of 13(J guns and 2,000 men.
Tho British lost over 800 of their
picked men and officers in killed and
wounded, while the Armstrong lost but
2 killed and 7 wouudod. The action
has well been called the "Thermopylae
of the Ocean," for no naval battle in
ancient or modern history is compara
ble with that of the Armstrong at
Faval, either as to the unequal forces
engaged, the unyielding and inflexible
bravery of her othcers and crew, nor as
to the grand results which followed in
the defeat of tho British expedition
against Louisiana,
The height of heroism and romantic
chivalry were displaved by Captain
Reid and his crew in the last act of this
extraordinary naval "drama. After
scuttling his vessel to save her from
capture he went ashore with his men
and arms, when the commander of the
squadron. Admiral Llovd, demanded
their surrender and threatened to send
five hundred men to take them. Reid
retired with his men to an old Gothic
convent, which he fortified, knocked
away the draw-bridge, ran up the
American flag, and bade the enemy de
fiance. Lloyd quailed under the last
exhibition of heroic courage, saving
they were demons and not men.
The squadron under Llovd was on
its way to the Island of Jamaica to
join the great fleet assembling titer
under Admiral Lrfuil Cochrane, after
ward Earl of Dundonald, who was con
fidentialy intrusted with the secret ex
pedition for the conquest of Louisiana.
The last hope of England to wrest the
control of the Mississippi river and the
province of Louisiana from France had
been foiled by Napoleon, who, seeing
that he had no means of protect
ing it from the conquest of
England, ceded it to the United
States in 1803. Ou the declaration of
war by the United States, inJ312, Eng
land's eyc3 were once more turned to
the coveted possession, and, after mak
ing a demonstration against Washing
ton and B iltimore, she assembled her
combined fleets, no longer needed for
the blockade of the French coasts at
Negril Bay, Jamaica, to carry out this
great design. The crippled condition
of Lloyd's squadron had created a de
lay of over ten days in repairing dam
ages, as they were occupied over three
days alone in burying their dead. On
the arrival of Lloyd at Jamaica a fur
ther delay of a week took place. Ad
miral Lord Cochrane' being furious at
Lloyd's disaster, which finally proved
fatal to the expedition. The fleet diil
not arrive off Lake Boevue until four
days after the arrival of Gener
al Jackson with his forces, which
barely gave him time to make a de
fense, that had the fleet arrived ten
days sooner, when New Orleans and
the coast was utterly 'defenseless, an
easy conquest would have been made,
and once in possession it is doubtful if
the treaty of peace would have been
ratified by England. Thus it is clearly
demonstrated that if Captain Reid had
surrendered his vessel against such an
overwhelming force, which he might
have done without the imputation of
rowardice, Louisiana might to-day be
tinder the flag of St. George.
To Captain Reid is not only due the
tredit of this victory, but its general
results in saving a domain now more
than three times larger, than the terri
tory of France, and it is worthy to be
remembered that this gallant sailor be
came afterward the designer of the
present form of the United States flag,
as adopted by Con-ess in 1818. His
name and fame deserve to be com
memorated, and Congress should show
the gratitude of the people by making
an appropriation for a substantial and
enduring testimonial to his bravery
and usefulness. Cor. X. Y. Time.

THE EFFECTS OF MEHTAX. IXHAUSHOS.
Many diseases, especially those of the ner
vous system, are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocations often
involve an amount of mental wear and tear
very prejudicial to physical health, and the
professions, if arduons!y pursued, are no less
destructive to brain and nerve tissue. It Is one
of the most important attributes of Hostetter s
Stomach Hitters, that it compensates for this
undue loss of tissue, and that it imparts new
energy to the brain and nerves. The rapidity
with w hich it renews weakened mental energy
ami physical vitality is remarkable, and shows
that its invigorating properties are of the
highest order. Besides increasing vital stamina,
and counteracting the effects of mental exhaus
tion, this potential medicine cures and prevents
fever and ague, rheumatism, chrome dyspepsia
and constipation, kidney and uterine weakness
and other complaints. I'hysicians also com

ber boy
I have been using Aiixocn'S Porous
Plasters for the last ten years, princi
pally for a weak back. Not long ago I
found my son very much inclined to croup.
He had had a croupy cough, and a wheezing
sound in his lungs every time he breathed.
He nearly died from the obstruction of
the throat. 1 covered him from the throat
to the pit of the stomach with Ali.cock 8
Porous Plasters. In two hours the
cough ceased and his breathing was much
easier. In a few days he was entirely well.
I kept the Aixcock's Porous Plasters
on him six days. Since then, whenever
he is effected with colds in the throat, I
never uw anything b-it an Allcock's
Porous Plaster, which cures him imme
diately, without any inconvenience. They
are the best preventative of the croup ever
known, and I wound not be without them
for any consideration.
The hair may be kept from falling out
after sickness by a frequent application to
the scalp of sage t -a.
THE OLD AHD TH8 HEW.
The old-style pills! Who does not know
What agony they caused what woe f
You walked the floor, you groaned, you
sighed.
And felt such swf ul pain Inside,
And the next day you felt so weak
Ypu didn't want to move or speak.
Now Pierce's "Pellets" are so mild
They are not dreaded by a child.
They do their work in painless way,
And leave no weakness for next day.
Thus proving what is oft contest
That gentle means are al ways best.
A fever patient can be made cool and
comfortable by frequently sponging off
with soda water.
When Baby was sick we gave her Castorla,
When she was a Child, she otied for Castorla,
When she became Hiss, she clung to Castorla,
When she had Children. she gave them Castorla,
