and grass are regular robbers ol the foot
of the corn, and should be exterminated
at once, and your corntields kept perlecth
dean from this period to the time ot the
em's full maturity. Stir the surface ot
vour cornfields in time ol drought, and h\
this means the enriching gasses that lloat in
the air, will be absorbed, and the growth
of the corn largely promoted.
A HINT TO GARDENERS. —Perhaps there
is nothing that irritates a lover of garden
ing more than to have plants destroyed by
insects after thev arc up and growing. An
effectual*remedy will be found in apply
ing plaister, (gypsum) sufficiently impreg
nated with spirits of turpentine, to make
it smell pretty strongly, freely to the plants
when the dew is 011 them. The plaister
ts conductive to the growth of the plant,
and the odor of the turpentine will entire
ly- rid them of every insect.
MOWING PASTURES. —We have before
spoken of the necessity of keeping the
grass pastures from running up to seed and
dying on the ground. As grass grows
with more rapidity in the early part of
the season than at a later period, it is diffl
cult to keep it properly fed down, without
putting on more stock than can be kept on
the land after th eflash of feed is over, and
vet if the grass goes to seed and lies on
the ground, the after feed will be less in
quantity and of poorer quality. The dif
ticulty may be overcome by mowing the
grass at the right time—before it has run
to seed, at all events. This may be done
on many pastures to good advantage, the
hay obtained being of good quality for
anv kind of stock ; and the pastures are
left clean, start equally, and afford a growth
of fresh after-feed. We have lately met
with several fanners who have followed
this practice for many years, and they
agree with us in regard to its utility.—
Albany Cultivator.
TOMATOES ANTI BILIOUS. —The tomato
is excellent for bilious affections, and for
dyspepsia. When we were publishing
the Yankee Fanner, there was an article
in that paper on the healthful properties
of the tomato, and the same paper con
tained a seed catalogue, in which was the
tomato. A person who had been severely
afflicted with the dyspepsia for ten years,
so that he could eat but very common
dishes of food, procured some tomato seed,
of which he had previously no knowledge ;
and he raised some fruit and used it as
food, and he had jellies and other prepara
tions made in the fall, that he might use
when the season for fresh tomatoes was
over. By this simple remedy he was
completely cured, in a few months, of an
obstinate disease, that had bid defiance to
the best medical skill for ten long years,
for so they must have seemed to the un
fortunate invalid. Here we also have the
important bearing which a single fact
gleaned from a useful paper, has upon a
man's health, life and interest generally.—
A". E. Farmer.
£ H c humorist,
A young lady being asked why she did
not use the medicated soap, replied, that
as to soap, she had got plenty of soft soap
from her beau, and that always brought
plenty of color into her cheeks.
Joe Pentland says he knows a youth
vho every time he wishes to get a glance
of his sweetheart, has to "hollar fire"
right under her window. In the alarm of
the moment she plunges her head out of
the window, and exclaims " where ?"
when he poetically slaps himself on the
bosom and exclaims " here,my llangilina."
A pedlar overtook another of his tribe
on the road, and thus accosted him :
" Hallo, friend what do you carry ?"
" Drugs and patent medicines," was
the prompt reply.
" Hood," said the other, " you may go
ahead, I carry grave stones."

Don't say you will become rich till you

HARRIS, TURNER cf HALE'S
Compound Syrup ofSpigelia
or Vegetable Vermifuge,
The most effectual, the safest, plrasantest
and most convenient Worm Medicine
ever offered to the public.
THE SPIGELIA, says a work of highest authority,
stands at the head of tkelist of .Inthelminties or IfVest
J Vtduines. It is adapted to a wider range of cases, and
to a greater 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 seidom be given to
1 children m sufficient doses In Harris, Turner & Ilale'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 with ease,
but with positive pleasure.
The precise composition of this syrup and the mode of
preparing it, are the result 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 emi
nent physicians, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, who 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 follow ing, 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 dispose!
first to try the efficacy of your V-rmifuge. 1 have used
more than half the quantity received,and the experiment
has been most successful, /really ta/irrf that it posst•
set tulrar.t tga orrr any ctht r Vinaifugt I hart cttr 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
ot circumstances, enhances its value; indeed there Is
scarcely a condition of ih > system in which it may not
be administered. Yours, dec."
2,1 A respectable physician of Lebanon county, in this
state, writes
" I have been in the habit of prescribing your Compound
Sjrupof Spigelia for some time past, and have found it
an excellent worm medicine, particularly for children.—
Please forward per bearer 2 doz bottles. —Yours,Ar."
3d.—An intelligent merchant of Virginia to whom we
had previously sold the syrup, w rites :
"Since my return hoiuc, I find that your Syrup of Spi
gelia has come into general use in this neighborhood. We
have sold what tve had on hand, and it gave such satis
faction that it is now called for evey day. You will please
put us up 5 or 6 dozen in a small package, and send to the
care of W. Anderson 4. Co., Richmond, as soon as possi
ble, and forward the bill ner mail.—Yours, See."
4th. —A respectable merchant of Ohio, on n late visit to
Philadelphia, stated, that some time since he had been ap
plied to by a customer for a vial of 's Ver
mifuge for his son. Not having the article asked for, he
advised a trial of Harris, Turner A Hale's Compound
Syrup of Spigelia ami gave him a part of a bottU which
was all that remained in the store. A day or two after
this the gentleman returning to the store,expressed his
surprise and delight at the effect of tin- Syrup, declaring
it had expelled 200 worms and entirely relieved his son.
The merchant added an expression of his great regret that
lie had not had on hands a buttle of the Syrup at the time
when his own little daughter died, as he confidently be
lieved it would have saved her life

ber of worm medicines, writes, that his friend was Imme
diately relieved; the words of the patient were : "It took
every worm out my body."

i GERMAN BITTERS,
PREPARED BY
DR. c. r*X. JACKSON",
At ihe German Meilieine Store, IK) Areli st.
PHILADELPHIA.
Their potter over the above diseases is not erretled—if
equalled—by any other preparation in the United States as
I the cures attest, in many eases after skilful physicians had
failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of invalids.
Possessing great virtues in the rectification of diseases of
the Liver and lesser glands, exercising the most search
ing powers in weakness and affections of the digestive or
gans, they are withal, safe, certain and pleasant.

CHAS. ROBINSON*, Esq., Easton, Md , in a letter to Dr
' Jackson, January 9,- tSSO, said—
" My wife and myself have received more benefit from
I your medicine than any other we have ever taken forthe
Duspepsiaandl.iver disease."
" THE T TXTH I.KGION," published at Woodstock, Vj ,
January 10,1650, said —
"A GREAT MEDICINE:'
'• We have uniformly refrained from recommending to
' the public any of the various Patent Medicines of the
day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value. Among
j those we consider worthy of notice is the German Bitters,
' invented by Dr. Hoofland, and prepared by Dr. Jackson,
{ in Philadelphia. One instance in particular, in which the
j superior virtues of this medicine has been tested, has fal
len under onr observation. During the last summer, a
j son of MR. ABRAHAM GRABILL, of this county, was very
; seriously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying
In vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the
Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his
distressing malady, that he procured another bottle, and
is restored entirely to health."
READ FURTHER A FEW FACTS
FHOM " THE WELDOX HERALD," published at Weldon,
V C , January '24, l c so, which said—
" PA TENT MEDICINES
"It is eery seldom that we make any allusion to Patent
Medicines, either approving or other wise. Unfortunately
for the country, and for honest and conscientious inven
tors and venders of these medicines, the land is becoming
flooded with quack'preparations, that are made alone for
profit and are fit not even for the dogs. In this state of
things it is hard to tell which are, and which are not worth
having If a person gets an indifferent medicine the first
tune 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 ignorantly combine plain
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 ' Ifoofland's German
Bitters* to bo a most excellent medicine, and one that
should be highly popular in these days of Temperance ;
for they are altogether Vegeiablt in their composition,
without one drop of .Alcoholic Spirits in them. This roed
icine is innoceni, but strengthening in its effects, and rich
ly deserving of an unbounded popularity, which, when it
becomes known, it will, no doubt, fully enjoy."
Jinoß M. M.NOAH said, in his " WEEKLY MESSEN
GER," January 5,1850.
" Dr. Hoofiand's German Bitttrs.—Ylere is a prepara
tion which the leading presses in the Union appear to be
unanimous in recommending, and the reason is obvious.
It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the
most celebrated physicians of modern times—the late
Dr Christopher Wilbelm Iloolland, professor to the Uni
versity of Jena, private physician to the king of Prussia,
and one of the greatest medical writers Germany has ever
produced. He was emphatically the enemy of kvntbug,
and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor
and endorsor may bo confidently relied on. He specially
recommended it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility,
Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all
complaints arising from a disordered condition of the
stomafh, 'he liver and the intestines. Nine Philadelphia
papers express their conviction of its excellency, and sev
eral of the editors speak of its effects from their own indi
vidual experience. Under these circumstances, we feel
warrante-d, not only in callingthe attentionof our readers
to the present proprietor's (Dr C. M Jackson's) prepara
tion, but in recommending the article to all afflicted."
MORE EVIDENCE.
The " PHILADELPHIA SATCRDAY GAZETTE," the best
family newspaper published in (lie United States. Tin
editor says of
Dr. Hoojland"s German Bitters:
"H is seldom that we recommend what are termed Pat
ent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of eur
I readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Hoof
land's German Hitters, we wish it to be distinctly under
stood that wc are not speaking of the nostrums of the day,
that are noised about for a brief period amftben forgotten
after it has done its guilty race of mischief,but of a med
icine long established, universally prized, and which has
met tlfe 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 Complaint
and Dyspepsia, no one car. doubt atler using it
as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom
ach nd liver; it is preferable to calomel in all
bilious diseases — the eflect is immediate.
1 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 for 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 well 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 are
spurious.
