We give it place most cheerfully LANCASTER, April 27, 1857. I lENRY J. STA II LE, Foq.—Sir : As I brought the boy, McG rann, from Mt. St. Mary's Col lege, I suppose I ant the person designated by the Star in its issue of Friday, .April 10th, ns the "gentleman authorised to demand his dis charge front the officem:of the College," although I visited the College in consequence of a letter written by the president of that institution to the boy's guardian, requestiv hint to have the lad talent home immediately, and authorised to obtain, if possible, permis sion from the of:it:era of the College for him to remain there ; but, on account of his former bad conduct, they considered his removal ab-, solutely necessary. Neither the boy's guar- dian nor I thanked the intermeddlers for their pains; they have not been the child's friends, but his enemies, and their interfer enle was uucall-td for, and without any au thority, or reason for pretending to have any, for asserting that the boy's guardian was discontented with his treatment at the Col lege, or took him away because of such dis content. Yours respectfully, BERNARD J. McGRANN.

Medical D'ltraisza. If there were health in a multitude of medi- Ind systems as there is said to be SN;isclum in a ttutiltitude of counsellors,' sickness would be titikinnwn in tthis age of so called pathological disco.re,ries. The homeopathists tell us that the s.afration of our liYes in sickness depends upon ittinatesimal doses and infinite dilution ; the dydrotraltists profess tt rain health upon us front shower baths, or soak disease out of us with wet blankets ; while a still newer set of exclusives propose burying us up to the armpits in the earth—putting both feet in the grave as it were, by way of saving our lives ! Then, we have Sangrados, who are all for 'bleeding, blistering, and low diet; and mine raligt,,,, who believe in nothing but mercury null its oxides. It happens, unfortunately, however, fur all these theorists that the; can show no practical proof of the assumed infalli bility of their methods of cure. Not so Pro fe'ssor II dloway, who has really inaugurated It. new era in the history of the healing art, and whose medicines for the last twenty years have annually rescued tens of thousands from impending death. This is no iSsllloption, but a fact verified by the unimpeachable evidence of a "cloud of witnesses.' The archives of his central offices in L onion and New York, contain more than half a million of manu script certificates, authenticated in the strong est manner. and placing beyond the possibili ty of doubt the infallibility of his pills and Ointment in nineteen-twentieths of the mala dies to which man is subject. Great Britain, the Continent of Europe, India, China, Aus tralia, the United States, the West I n di es , British America, every civilized laud, and every country to which the pioneers of civili sation, commercial and religious, have found their way, ring with the fame of these all .conquering remedies. There is no written language in which he cannot produce*- mm uals of their efficacy, no tit printed ne ' if 35 1 11 which they are not advertised and recommend ed. Such is the demand for them in all parts of the world that they may be justly called a great commercial staple, and the number of agencies for their sale amounts to tens of thousands!

His tuanufaeury for the Continent i s at New York, and th,re is no newspaper in r the Union that has not tndorsed his prepara- ; tions ; no city or town Yithin the same limits, where they are not knarn and appreciated. These facts speak for tlemselves, and clearly show, that while so many medical dogmatists have been groping in tlz dark, he has actual ly discovered and appted the true and only meanscof eradicating tte 'primary causes of - i disease in the human sytem.—N.
