About the samo time Dr. C. E. Winner,
V. S., was called to attend tho cattlo In
Mr. Conner's yards. Ono had already died
and several wero very sick. He began a
rigid treatment at once and his opinion,
with n statement of what he was doing,
was forwarded to Secretary Edge, and to
Dr. F. Bridge, the htato Veterinary Sur.
gcon. As there wero slight indications of
Anthrax, Dr. Brldgo decided to como on
and mako an Investigation. I met him nt
tho train Monday morning, anil took him
to Bee Mr. Conner's cattle. Although thrco
had died and ono was very sick, ho con
eluded that under tho skillful treatment
they were receiving 'from Dr. Winner no
moro would die, and as the disease was not
contagious, no trouble need be feared by
outside parties. As the other cattle camo
from tho same place niid wero aflllctcd tho
same way, and those of Mr. Sloan's wero
under Dr Winner's treatment, Dr. Bridge
decided that it was not necessary for him
to make further investigation, aud he re.
turned on tho evening train. The follow.
lu is his report:
II. V. WniTE, Esq.,
Dear Sir: According to my instructions
from Thos. J. Edge, Esq., Secretary of
Board ot Agriculture, I havo investigated
the dtscaso existing among tho cattle on
Mr. Conner's place. I find them aflllctcd
with Texas fever. This disease is com.
municatcd by Texas or Southern stock to
our native cattle. But our native stock
cannot transmit it to other cattle. So
there is no danger of tho disease spreading
to any other herds. In my opinion all the
steers (with but one doubtful case,) will
recover. I cannot suggest any better treat
ment than the cattle are getting from Dr.
C. E. Winner, V. 8., whose veterinary skill
has saved quite a number ot the herd.
Yours Very Respectfully,
F Bridge,
Stato Veterinarian.

to he press the Agricultural Society be.
lievcs it has done its duty to thu public.

The advantages of a reliable, safe and
efficacious family medicine, is incalculable
and when such is found, tho blessing is
thus happily expressed. I exclaimed,
Eureka." I have been using Simmons
Liver Regulator myself some five years or
more, and my family ulso, aud can testify
from experience to its virtues. 1 never re
commend a medicine unless I know it to
be good. In a ministry of twenty-flve
years I have often felt the need of such a
medicine and when I fouud It I exclaimed

TO nOUBE-WIVKS AND SERVANT GIRLS. It is
true that water is abundant nnd a sovereign
cleanser; but that is no reason that on these
frosty mornings you should Svrub off tho
pavements, and have the water forming Ico
upon them, making them so very slippery
as to endanger the limbs of every pedes
trian. Pavements are to walk over, and
sweeping them, if any cleansing Is requir-
d, is all that is neccsscry. Hotel porters
and servants arc much given to this break
neck practice. Abandon it at once; It is
dangerous. Children running to school,
business men in u hurry, ladies enveloped
n tbelr wraps, arc all in danger of llfu or
limb. F.

What am I to do? Tho symptoms; ot
bihousncts arc unhappily but too well
known. They differ In different Individ
uals to some extent. A bilious man is sel

alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at any
time; if it is rot white and furred, it is
rough, at all eve 'ts.
The digestive system is wholly out of or
der and dlarrbren or constipation may bo a
symptom or the two may alternate. Thero
aro often hemorrhoids or even loss of
