MTMEL WTItTZEL.
The following extract from a paper by
ihe Abbe Rozier, will show very conclu
sively the great value of this root as a ma
terial in the food of stock. He says
" In living these roots to cattle lor foou,
thev are first washed and then cut into
pieces about the size of a nut. It is alu ays
best to accompany them, when given to
horned cattle, with clover, or other hay or
straw, and if the hay or straw has been
previously cut fine, it will be preferable.
• • If horses are fed with this root with a
proportion of cut hay or straw, (half of
each) they will be fat, vigorous, and healthy.
If they are worked severely, a little oats
or corn may be added. It is thus they are
treated in Germany, where this root stands
in the stead of meadows or grass lands,
and whose excellent horses are well know n.
" Hogs fed upon them raw , alter they
have been cut up and mixed with milk or
other drink, fatten as well upon them as
upon boiled potatoes.
. As to the eattie, much will depend on
the proportion of other fodder which you
allow them. Cows fed twice a day in
u inter upon eighteen pounds of these roots
at each time, together with four pounds
of liav or chopped straw, will give as
much milk as in summer, and they will be
kept in the best possible state.
.. Oxen fed with forty weight of these
roots per davy with ten pounds of hay for
one month, and after that with fifty weigh;
per dav of the roots alone, will be fat
enough for sale in two months more.

BOYS AYD GIKLS,
The times have indeed sadly changed.
One entir? portion of liutnan life struck
out. It is now boyhood or manhood.
There is no conservative state —(we do
not speak politically.) Once there were
intermediate states of boyhood—barefooted
and bean porridge eating suite—a spelling
and cyphering period—when there were
bovs to do the chores and go errands—
when apprentice indentures were in fash
ion. and manhood was well defined by the
" freedom suit.'' But there are no such
things now. The child steps out of his
diaper and frock into a long tailed coat
and high heeled boots, lie exchanges the
breast for the cigar. Not one of the
present generation has ever seen a real
bona-fiJe " nine-day-old" pot of bean-por
ridge ; and Noah Webster's spelling-book
is crowded out of school by high works
on philosophy and metaphysics. There
are no apprentices now. Young men take
a few lessons in the trade they fancy, and
then set up for themselves.
But the present generation is as destitute
of girls as boys. It is either baby or lady 1
—nursery or parlor. The mother tends
her infant or waits upon her daughter.
Instead of spinning flax for her father's
shirt they reel silk for the ladies' fair : and
instead of knitting stockings and mending
trousers for their brothers they work lace
and make stays for themselves. The
mother milks, churns, mends, washes and
irons—and their daughters—the " ladies"
—read novels, dress, and make parties in
stead of puddings, and cook from the book
rather than from knowledge.
We should be delighted to see a genera
tion of boys and girls, in looks, actions,
and dress ; we should then hope for health
and strength, industry and sobriety, frugal
ity and economy, prosperity and happiness.
We go for protection to this class of the
community. Every father should impose
a tariff, one that should amount to entire
prohibition, on the introduction of fashion
able follies into the family, lie should
protect and enforce home industry. lie
and his wife and children should enter into
a 44 Home League" on the subject. This
is the tariff that will restore confidence.
This is the bank that will freely discount'
and never suspend.— .llex. Index.
THE HEART. —The little 1 have seen of;
the world, and known of the history of ■
mankind, teaches me to look upon the er
rors of others in sorrow, not in anger.
W hen I take the history of one poor heart
that has sinned and suffered, and represent
to myself the struggles and temptations it
has passed through ; the brief pulsations of
joy ; of the feverish inquietude of hope
and fear ; the pressure of want; the de- j
sertion of friends ; the scorn of the world
that has little charity ; the desolation of
the soul's sanctuary, and threatening voices
within, health gone, happiness gone, I
would fain leave the erring soul of my fel
low man with him from whose hand it
-arne.— Longfrllon \
A LITTLE IIEATHF.N.—" Will you please
-o mend my trousers ?" said a little fellow
the other day to a lady friend of his mother,
the rags exhibiting themselves pretty elear-
Jv about the knees.
" Why, no, you little mischief you :
why don't you go and ask \uur mother to
do it V
44 Oh, she don't have time for that—she
tielcmgs to a Sewing Society, and goes to !
it every day almost, to make clothes for
the heathen, awav oft' somewhere among i

BROWN'S ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER,
A VERY valuable preparation for persons
l\ recovering fiom fever, or other diseases,
a few drops imparting to the stomach a glow
and vigor equal to a glassful of brandy, or other
stimulants, without any of the debilitating ef
fects which are sure to follow the use of liquor
of sriy kind ; and it is therefore especially ap
plicable to children and females. To the aged
it will prove a great comfort; to the dyspeptic,
and to those who are predisposed to gout and
rheumatic affections, it gives great relief; and
to the inebriate, who withes to reform, hut
whose stomach is constantly craving the nox

digestive organs, and strength to resist tempta

HARRIS, TURNER xf HALE S
Compound Syrup of Spigelia
or Vegetable Vermifuge,
The most ejfectual, the safest, pleasantest
and most convenient Worm Medicine
ever offered to the public.
'PiIC BPIGELIA, sa> a work of bighrftl authority,
•*- stands at the head of the htt of .Inthelmintlcs or H'orm
Medicines. !t is adapted to a wider range of case?, and
to a ereater variety of constitutions and states of the
constitution, than any other. But prepared as it com
monly is, in the form of tea, it can seldom be given to
children in sufficient doses. In Harris. Turner & Hale's
Compound Syrup, it is so concentrated that the dose is
very small, so combined as to ensure a purgative opera
tion, and so palatable as to be taken, not only ith ease,
but with positive pleasure.
The precise composition of this syrup and the mode of
preparing it, are the tesult of a series of experiments
continued for years. Before offering it for sale, it was
subjected to the test of experience in the hands of emt
ncnt physicians, in Philadelphia and elsew here, w ho have
recommended it in the highest terms, and still employ it
in their practice. In addition to this evidence of its mer
its, we offer the following, selected from a number of un
solicited testimonials.
Ist A distinguished physician of Virginia, of much
experience, writes of It thus :
"I should have written before this, but felt disposed
first to try the efficacy of your Vermifuge. I have used
more than half the quantity received,and the experiment
has been most successful. ! really belie re that it posses
ses adrant lges ortr any other f 'irmifuge I hart erer used.
Independent of the smallness of the dose, and the plea
santness of the syrup (great advantages in dosing chil
dren) the advantage of administering it under a variety
of circumstances, enhances its value; indeed there is
scarcely a condition of the system in which it may not
be administered. Yours, Ac."
2d. A respectable physician of Lebanon county, in this
state, writes—
" 1 have been iti the habitofpresrribing your Compound
Syrup of Bpigrlia for some time past, and have found it
an excellent worm medicine, particularly for rhildren.—
Please forward per bearer 2 doz. bottles.—Yours. Ac."
3d. —An intelligent merchant of Virginia to whom we
had previously sold the. syrup, writes :
"Since my return home, 1 find that your Syrup of Spi
gelia has come into general use inthis neighborhood. We
have sold what we had on hand, and it gave such satis
faction that it is now calledforevey day. You will please
put us up 5 or 6 dozen in a small package, and send to the
care of \V. Anderson & Co., Richmond, as soon as possi
ble, and forward the bill per mail.—Yours, Sec."
4th.—A respectable merchant of Ohio, on a late visit to
Philadelphia, stated, that some lime since he had been ap

READ AND BE CONVINCED.
CHAS. ROBINSON, Esq., Easton, Mi, in a letter to Dr
; Jackson, January 9, 1650, said —
! "My wife and myself have received more benefit from
your medicine than any other we have ever taken for the
Dyspepsia and Ltver disease."
j "THE TENTH LEGION," published at Woodstock, Va
January 10.1650, said—
"A GREAT MEDICINES
j "We have uniformly refrained from recommending to
j the public any of the various Patent Medicines of the
day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value. Among
those we consider worthy of notice is the German bitters,
invented by Dr. Hoojland, and prepared by Dr Jackson,
in Philadelphia. One instance in particular, in which the
1 superior virtues of this medicine has been tested, has fa!-
: len under our observation During the last summer, a
j son of ME. ABRAHAM GRABILL, of this county, was very
seriously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying
i In vain various remedies, he purchased a boitleofthe
Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his
distressing malady, that he procured another bottle, sn<
is restored entirely to health."
READ FURTHER A FEW FACTS
FROM " THR WSLDON HERALD," published at Wehlon,
i S. C., January 24,1650, which said —
" PATENT MEDICINES
j "It is very seldom that we make any allusion to Paten!
Medicines, either approving or otherwise. Unfortunate!;
for the country, and for honest and conscientious
i tors and venders of these medicines, the land is becoming
j flooded with quack'preparations, that are made alone for
profit and are fit not even for the dogs. In this state of
j things it is bard to tell which are, and which are not worth
having If a person gets an indifferent medicine the first
j time he purchases, he is very apt to condemn the whole
of them and buy no more, and inventors must only blame
! those of their number, (who ignorant);- combine ptisn
medicines together for the purpose of making money,) for
the ill success which attends the efforts of the deserving ."
" We believe Dr. C. M. Jackson's * Hoofland's German
Bitters' to be a most excellent medicine, and one that
should be highly popular in these days of Temperance;
for they are altogether Vegetable in their composition,
I without one drop ot.Hcoholic Spirits in tbem. This cied
, icine is innocent, but strengthening in its effects, and rich-
I Iv deserving of an unbounded popularity, which, w hen it
becomes known, it will, no doubt, fully enjoy."
JIDGB M. M.NOAH said, in his " WEEKLY MESSEN
GER," January 5,1550.
" Dr. Ilvofiand's German Bitters —Here is a prepara
tion which the leading presses in the Union appear to be
unanimous in recommending, and tha-ceason is obvious,
it is made after a prescription furnished by one of the
i most celebrated physicians of modern times—the lale
Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Hoofland, professor to the Uni
versity of Jena, private physician to the kiug of Prussia,
and one of the greatest medical writers Germany has ever
| produced. He was emphatically the enemy of humbug,
and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor
i and endorsor may bo confidently relied on. lie specially
recommended it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility,
| Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all
' complaints arising from a disordered condition of the
stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Philadelphia
papers express their conviction of its excellency, and sev
eral of the editors speak of Us effects from their own indi
vidual experience. Under these circumstances, we feel
I warranted, not only in calling the attention of our readers
to the present proprietor's (Dr.C. M. Jackson's) prepara
tion, but in recommending the article to ail afflicted."
MORE EVIDENCE.
The "PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY GAZBTTK," the best
family newspaper published in the United States. The
editor says of
Dr. Iloofland's German Bitters:
" It is seldom that we recommend what arc termed Pat
ent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our
readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Hoof
land's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly under
stood that we are not speaking of the nostrums of the day,
that are noised about for a brief period andjthen forgotten
after it has done its guilty race of mischief, but of a med
icine long established, universally prized, and which hi!
met the hearty approval of the faculty itself."
Evidence upon evidence has been received
(like the foregoing) from all sections of the
Union, the last three years, and the strongest
testimony in its favor, is, that there is more ot
it used in the practice of the regular Physi
cians of Philadelphia than all other nostrums
combined, a fact that can easily be established,
and fully proving that a scientific preparation
will meet with their quiet approval when pre
sented even in this form.
That this medicine will cure Liver Complaiot
and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after using it
as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom
ach and liver; it is preferable to calomel in ail
bilious diseases— the effect is immediate.
They can be administered to FEMALE or INFANT
with safety and reliable benefit, at any time.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.
This medicine has attained that high charac
ter which is necessary tor all medicines to at
tain to induce counterfeiters to put forth a spu
rious article at the risk of the lives of those
who are innocently deceived.
Look irell to the marks of the genuine.
They have the written signature of C. M.
JACKSON upon the wrapper, and the name
blown in the bottle, without which they art
spurious.
