Dr. McLaughlan has been paying a
short visit to the Forest City. -Mr. and
Miss Winer wore the guests of Mr. and,
Mrs. Hobbs last week —Mr, Hall is
making a tour of the country to. quest
of clover seed, of which he has already
handled about two tons —We were
yisited by a Rev. Mr. Simmons. who
gave an elaborate lecture on 'hygiene,
telling us the whole process of digest-
ion from the time. the food enters the
mouth until it is formed into flesh,bone
and muscle, or passes off a residue, ex-
cept that little bit that stuck in - the
orbicular intestine, which wrought the
evils of all the diseases which flesh is
heir to, IJe denounces all drugs as a
fraud of the first water, and further
states that no medieine will remove
that bit of bread and butter that stop-
ped there and "wouldn't go." For the
science of medicine, which has been
the hard study of French, German and
English fon centuries, he gives, not a
nonentity, but an abnormal fungus, as
four diagnosis
has proved, and this
fungus for the mere paltry sum of $2.
Now we me the v co to more dhlficultP art

i.e. to locate the fun ns and find its ori-
gin. On careful exa examination we found
the fungus to be located just above the
Medulla Oblongati. But we must con-
fess the inaccuracy of our science, or,in
plain English, our iguorauee of the
science, for after a very careful re-
search of the cess pool the cellar and
the well we would fain put it on the
air but that wouldn't take worth a
cent here; so we had to make a conclus-
ion or acknowledge the fraud. We did
it, }.e., we came to the conclusion that
it was either boyish love nipped in the
bud or the blossom of youth, or from
that naughty piece of bread and butter
that, studded there, and studden there.,
and wouldn't go, and is studden there
vet. Now Mr. Ed. if this be tine, and -
I believe with all hay heart it is, let us
once and forever pitch the drugs to the
four winds and God grant us the quint
escence of sweet ignorance, kindly em-
bark us iu the boat of retrogratton and ,
let us float gently back to barbaric
times and enjoy once more the vigor-
ous bone and muscle of the Zulu.
