  The Business Department of the Journal deserves the attention of all its readers, as it will be devoted to matters of general interest and real value. The treatment of the opium habit by Dr. Hoffman is original and successful. Dr. Hoffman is one of the most gifted members of the medical profession. The electric apparatus of D. H. Fitch is that which I have found the most useful and satisfactory in my own practice. Bovinine I regard as occupying the first rank among the food remedies which are now so extensively used. The old drug house of B. O. & G. C. Wilson needs no commendation; it is the house upon which I chiefly rely for good medicines, and does a very large business with skill and fidelity. The American Spectator, edited by Dr. B. O. Flower, is conducted with ability and good taste, making an interesting family paper, containing valuable hygienic and medical instruction, at a remarkably low price. It is destined to have a very extensive circulation. I have written several essays in commendation of the treatment of disease by oxygen gas, and its three compounds, nitrous oxide, per-oxide and ozone. What is needed for its general introduction is a convenient portable apparatus. This is now furnished by Dr. B. M. Lawrence, at Hartford, Connecticut. A line addressed to him will procure the necessary information in his pamphlet on that subject. He can be consulted free of charge. The spiritual newspapers, The Banner, The Religio-Philosophical Journal, Light for Thinkers, Golden Gate, Carrier Dove, and World’s Advance Thought, embody a large amount of the leading truths of the age. He who does not read one of them robs himself of instruction and pleasure. Facts is just what its name indicates, a concise collection of interesting spiritual facts. Hall’s Journal of Health has an established reputation, and of late is better conducted than ever. College of Therapeutics.The large amount of scientific and therapeutic knowledge developed by recent discoveries, but not yet admitted into the slow-moving medical colleges, renders it important to all young men of liberal minds—to all who aim at the highest rank in their profession—to all who are strictly conscientious and faithful in the discharge of their duties to patients under their care, to have an institution in which their education can be completed by a preliminary or a post-graduate course of instruction. The amount of practically useful knowledge of the healing art which is absolutely excluded from the curriculum of old style medical colleges is greater than all they teach—not greater than the adjunct sciences and learning of a medical course which burden the mind to the exclusion of much useful therapeutic knowledge, but greater than all the curative resources embodied in their instruction. The most important of these therapeutic resources which have sometimes been partially applied by untrained persons are now presented in the College of Therapeutics, in which is taught not the knowledge which is now represented by the degree of M. D., but a more profound knowledge which gives its pupils immense advantages over the common graduate in medicine. Therapeutic Sarcognomy, a science often demonstrated and endorsed by able physicians, gives the anatomy not of the physical structure, but of the vital forces of the body and soul as located in every portion of the constitution—a science vastly more important than physical anatomy, as the anatomy of life is more important than the anatomy of death. Sarcognomy is the true basis of medical practice, while anatomy is the basis only of operative surgery and obstetrics. Indeed, every magnetic or electric practitioner ought to attend such a course of instruction to become entirely skilful in the correct treatment of disease. In addition to the above instruction, special attention will be given to the science and art of Psychometry—the most important addition in modern times to the practice of medicine, as it gives the physician the most perfect diagnosis of disease that is attainable, and the power of extending his practice successfully to patients at any distance. The methods of treatment used by spiritual mediums and “mind cure” practitioners will also be philosophically explained. The course of instruction will begin on Monday, the 2d of May, and continue six weeks. The fee for attendance on the course will be $25. To students who have attended heretofore the fee will be $15. For further information address the president, JOSEPH RODES BUCHANAN, M. D. The sentiments of those who have attended these courses of instruction during the last eight years were concisely expressed in the following statement, which was unanimously signed and presented to Dr. Buchanan by those attending his last course in Boston. “The undersigned, attendant, upon the seventh session of the College of Therapeutics, have been delighted with the profound and wonderful instructions received, and as it is the duty of all who become acquainted with new truths of great importance to the world, to assist in their diffusion, we offer our free and grateful testimony in the following resolutions: “Resolved, That the lectures and experiments of Prof. Buchanan have not only clearly taught, but absolutely demonstrated, the science of Sarcognomy, by experiments in which we were personally engaged, and in which we cannot possibly have been mistaken. “Resolved, That we regard Sarcognomy as the most important addition ever made to physiological science by any individual, and as the basis of the only possible scientific system of Electro-Therapeutics, the system which we have seen demonstrated in all its details by Prof. Buchanan, producing results which we could not have believed without witnessing the demonstration. “Resolved, That Therapeutic Sarcognomy is a system of science of the highest importance, alike to the magnetic healer, to the electro-therapeutist, and to the medical practitioner,—giving great advantages to those who thoroughly understand it, and destined to carry the fame of its discoverer to the remotest future ages.” APPARATUS AND MATERIALS. Description, Prices, and Testimonials Mailed Free, on Application. 6 James St., Boston, Mass., February 8, 1886. D. H. Fitch, Cazenovia, N. Y.: Dear Sir: Your last letter has a valuable suggestion. Your Carbon Electrodes ARE the very best now in use, and Metallic Electrodes are objectionable from the metallic influence they impart, even if no metal can be chemically traced into the patient. J. R. BUCHANAN, M. D. Aurora, Ill., Dec. 24, 1886. D. H. Fitch, Cazenovia, N. Y.: I am very glad to inform you that the battery which I purchased from you seven months ago is better than you represented it, and works as well to-day as it did on the first day. The cells have not been looked at since they were first placed in the cabinet. The battery is always ready and has never disappointed me. Resp’y yours, Worcester, Mass., Aug. 10, 1886. D. H. Fitch, Cazenovia, N. Y.: Dear Sir: Over a year ago, as you will remember, I bought of you one of your “Chlorine Batteries” of twenty-five cells. This I placed in the cellar and connected with my office table for use there. It has been in almost daily use since without ever having to do the first thing to it, not even refilling, and now, after a year’s service, I cannot see but that it runs just as well as it did the first day I used it, and the battery is just as clean as when put in, nor the least particle of corroding. This is a better record than any other battery can furnish with which I am acquainted. I can only say I am more than pleased with it, as every man must be who knows anything about electricity and has occasion to use a battery for medicinal purposes. J. K. WARREN, M. D. Whitestown, N. Y., April 15, 1886. D. H. Fitch, Esq.: Dear Sir: The “Chlorine Battery” is simply admirable, complete, just the thing. SMITH BAKER, M. D. Tyler, Tex., Feb. 11, 1886. D. H. Fitch, Esq., Cazenovia, N. Y.: I am so well pleased with your “Chlorine Faradic Machine” that I now use it in preference to any other. The current is so smooth and regular that patients like it and seem to derive more benefit from it than from the same strength of current from any other battery that I have used. I would not be without it for many times its cost. S. F. STARLEY, M. D. D. H. FITCH, P.O. Box 75. Cazenovia, N. Y. Religio-Philosophical Journal. ESTABLISHED 1865.
