The Progress ofthe Century
n\nxy from superstition ami blind
idolatry of isms anil ics—allopathic in
cluded. It lean? toward universal, all
determining law; towards tacts, not fan
cies. It leans towards immutable princi
ples and invulnerable truth, and awav
from superannuated authority, organized
ignorance and dyed-iii-tiie-w<»ol prejudice,
blind empiricism in medicine nas, with
other fossilized bivalves had its day. Yes,
there are plenty of "be.ated crabs." but
being born ot' darkness and fear—twin * s
ters ot intellectual infancy—they cannot
much longer withstand the civilizing in-
Jluence ot advancing science. They are
slowly but surely "dying Egypt, dying"
before the "search light" of investigation.
The advancing thinker wonders how it
was possible for that monstrosity—the
medical science (?) extant now, to have
survived to this late day! But where was
the reform to come from ? It is not only
passe to attempt reform, it is outright
dangerous. It requires a Inildness akin to
recklessness. Legion is the name who
have tried; they have left their bleaching
bones as a warning. An attempt at re
forming theology brands you a "heretic;"
in politics you are charged *ith every in
famy under the sun and in medicine every
duck-inteilect "quacks'' at you and v«mi
are accused of having no diploma when
your diploma is on nle in the courthouse
under the very eyes of the slanderers. Ail
this is caused by besotted ignorance, and
since books are sent free of charge to every
applicant and we pay the postage, there is
no excuse for ignorance when it costs
nothing to be informed. People who be
rate the 11 istogenetic system ot medicine
are either intellectual pariahs incapable of
counting live in successor or understand
ing any 2x4 problem, or they are mental
sluggards and cannot screw themselves up
to the point of information by reading up
and forming a conclusion. In either case
their opinions are as valuable as that of
I'uget sound oysters.

Dear Sir: Nearly four months have pass
ed since I wrote you. As I know you are
interested in mv ease I wish to tell you
how lam progressing. Before I com
menced taking your medicines I was suf
fering most excruciating pain. I had tried
every sort of remedy and gained abso
lutely no rel ef. After I had taken the
llistogenetic medicines a short time how
ever, the pain and swelling became less
until it was gone entirely. I cannot ex
press my gratitude as I have been sick for
years, treating with so many prominent
physicians and getting worse all the time.
I bless the day that I lett San {Francisco
for Washington as I know that had I not
come here and consulted you I would
have been in my grave. I wish that every
one might read this as I want them to
keow how much I have to be thankful
for. May you live many years to relieve
and bless vour fellow creatures.
Yours trulv.

KIN IN RETAIL SOOAR MARKET.
A rather amusing battle took place between
the Huley-Glenn Company and C. Abrahams,
twor.val grocery store* Wednesday evening,
li wa» what might be termed a "sweet buttle;"
for the object seemed to b? to see which could
sell the most sugar for a dollar; aud, judging
from the number of customer* who availed
themselves of the opportunity to buy cheap
sugar, it certain.y was a "sweet battle" from the
consumers' point of view. The w<r did not
subside until the former house bad taken hun
dreds of orders at the rate of thirty pounds of
granulated sugar for a dollar, aud nearly every
house-wife 'n the city who heard of the rei-iu
tion had left her order for a dollar's worth.
The Haley-Glenn Company has been selling
granulated at the rate of nineteen pouuds
for a dollar for lome time past, and a .ew days
«go increased the amount to twenty pouuds.
Abrahams the next day raised to twenty-one,
and us noon as John Haley found this out he
immediately raised him one more. Abrahams
saw him and went htm three better Wednesday
evening. But Haley then made a bluff and
raised to thirty, and Abrahams laid down
b:s hand, reiusing to call him. When the news
of the warfare spread around thecity.it was
amusing to s*e the crowds that gathered around
Hniev-Glenn's store to secure the extra ten
pounds of sugar which was practically given
away with every dollar's worth. So individual
w«s allowed to purchase more thau a dollar's
worth, nor was any one allowed to carry the
suear away from the utore. but the orders were
taken for delivery at the residences. This was
to prevent other dealers from sending ia and
buying at rates so much below cost. N>t only
were there crowds arouud the store, but tele
phones orders came in from l.ake Union, Queen
Anne town, Fremont and all over the city, aud
long after the store had been locked up for the
night a lady came and rattled on tlie dor until
« clerk who was still in the store responded and
let her in. With an air of disappointment she
asked if she was lute. The clerk, understand
ing her meaning, iniorincd her that she was
late for tho thiry pounds, n- price* were advanc
ing again, but »l>e could have treaty-six
pounds. Her face beamed with a half satisfied
smile as she gave the clerk uer order, and told
him she was from Ballard.
John Haley ■aid yesterday that the actual
number of orders taken was . fc io Yesterday
both houses returned to the twenty-pound basis.
