NOTICE.-Friends of Homœopathy, in various parts of the country, frequently subscribe for the HOMOEOPATHIC ENVOY, to be sent to individuals, or entire communities. If any one, therefore, receives the paper without having subscribed for it he or she may know that the subscription has been paid by some friend.

Subscribers can always ascertain the date to which their subscriptions are paid by referring to the date on the mailing tag.

The receipt of the renewal of a subscription is acknowledged by changing the date on mailing tag.

BIGGER AND BIGGER DOSES.-There is now a daily medical paper published and from one of its editorials we clip the following:

"The cacodylates, hypodermically employed, enable us to push the arsenical medication to an extent that was formerly impossible."

But why push arsenical medication? What good is it to the patient to fill him with Arsenic even if it doesn't kill him? What do you accomplish by it? Isn't it possible that "pushing" drugs to the limit of human endurance is far more harmful than the disease you are supposedly combating?

DON'T BE TOO HASTY TO BELIEVE ALL YOU READ. -Recently two keepers in an asylum for the insane were charged with brutality to patients and considerable noise was made over it in the newspapers. When the case was officially investigated it was found that the only witnesses, and also those making the charges, were themselves insane and confined in the same asylum. We personally know of the case. of a man who was successively, in the past four years, admitted into several hospitals, "homes," retreats," and to a hospital for the insane. Against each of these he made the most furious, but utterly unfounded charges of brutality, neglect and incompetence. The man was a monomaniac on the subject that the world had conspired against him.

DANGER IN HEADACHE" POWDERS OR TABLETS.-A woman in Duluth recently took some 'headache" powders or tablets, became unconscious after two doses, remained so for six hours and then died. Drugs that stop pain in a few minutes are all dangerous. Nature's alarm bell is pain, and to stop the alarm without removing the cause of it is not wise. The man who sticks closest to plain, old-fashioned Homoeopathy has the best chance for prolonging his life and enjoying physical health so far as it is possible with his individual constitution.

FOR GOOD ROADS.-There is now pending in Congress a bill introduced by the Hon. Walter P. Brownlow, of Tennessee, and the Hon. Jacob H. Galhnger, Senator from New Hampshire, appropriating $24,000,000 as National aid for the building of wagon roads. This sum is to be distributed to each State according to its population, except that no State is to receive less than $250,000. The States or counties receiving this money must add a like amount, so that $48,000,000 will be expended in the building of wagon roads.

Colonel Brownlow says that we have over 200,000 miles of the finest railway in the world, more miles of railway than all the rest of the globe put together, yet we have the poorest wagon roads of any civilized country. He believes that no one thing will do this country so much good as the building of wagon roads, as provided for in this bill. As these are to be built in every State of the Union, they will be especially valuable as an object lesson. Experience has shown that wherever good roads exist every one wants more of them.

It is a good bill and ought to receive the support of all progressive citizens.

FOREIGN BODIES IN THE STOMACH.-The following story comes from France; we find it in the Medical Age. The case was diagnosed "foreign
