Was America Ever Discovored

At the time when Columbus started in sesrch of the New World, nearly every inan, woman and child in Europe iusigted tbat there ws no New World to discover. When he cama back, crowned with succes?, a large proportion of these good people adhered to their theory ; and if they were alive tc-dy many ol ihem would doubtless insist that America had never been discovered at all. A man will give np anythiog in the world more resdily than a pet theory. For example, look at the individuals who Btill maintain that consumption ia incurable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has cured tbousand3 upon thou-amis of cases, and will cure thousand4 more, but these people can't give up their point. Nevertheless the ''Discovery" will cureaoy case of conmraption, if taken in time.
