l'rath Leaves vs. Sheep.
It may not be known that peach leaves
are poisonous, and often prove fatal when
eaten bv animals. A few days since, in
VV esterii New York, we witnessed the
death of two sheep, caused by eating free
ly of peach leaves. The peach is a native
of Sicily, we believe, and was originally
poisonous; but by cultivation, has become
one of the most delicious of fruits. The
leaves, however, are said to contain prussic
acid. Sheep should never be allowed to
run in peach orchards. Several cases
have occurred in which cattle have been
poisoned by eating the leaves ol the wild
cherry. The lame cherry is equally
poisonous. It has been said that cherry
leaves are free from poison until the leaves
have wilted . but cases have been known in
which the green leaves haw proved poison
ous and fatal to animals.
In the case we witnessed, the sheep ex
hibited vertigo and trembling, and frothed
at the mouth, and evidently endured much
pain. Alter seven hours had elapsed, a
noble lamb, belonging to one of the poison
ed sheep, came up and called out urgently
for his supper. The sick and dying
mother raised her head, turned and looked
pifpously at her offspring, crying with
hunger. Nerved with a spiritofmaternal af
tection, she struggled and gained an upright
position, and with much difficulty main
tained it and gave nurse to the bleating
lamb. This done, she laid down and died
instantly; and, we presume, in peace.
Various remedies have been suggested.
A writer in the Massachusetts Plowman
recommends a pint of Mew England ruin,
mixed with a pint of molasses, and given
to each grown animal; one third of the
quantity for a lamb. .Salt would doubt
less be beneficial, as it is useful in cases
>t poison from the bite of snake, the sting
ot bees, &.e. A gill of sweet oil, lard or
Iresh butter, given in a pint of new milk, it
is said, will sometimes effect a cure.—
Most vegetable poisons, however, are
acids, and require alkalies to neutralize
them. Ammonia, lev, of wood ashes,
and pot and pearl ashes are used lor the
purposp.— Buffalo Wool Grower.
Leaves as tfanare.
Leaves, buds, and tender branches are
peculiarly rich in the vegetable alkali; be
side which, they contain other organic
elements derived from the soil, and which,
by being returned to the soil, enrich its
surface, tending to prevent its exhaustation,
or when newly applied, that is to other
ground, to enrich it more than superficially.
Leaves—and the remark is applicable
to the tender branches also—seem des
tined by nature for the manure of forest
land; and, indeed, of ground generally
wherever trees grow. The roots connect
the inorganic elements essential to vege
tation with the soil, penetrating deeply
and widely ; the leaves detain and store up
a certain portion of them, with other ele
ments derived from the atmostphere, such
as are required for theirgrowih; and these
return to the soil with the fall of the leaf,
and there undergoing decomposition, are
left to be appropriated again, ami re-ad
minister to the wants of vegetable growth.

Tti people dear, as politician? say,

We write in rhyme so that you all
May read, reflect, and give us a call.
For we liave opened, and for sale designed,
Boots and Shoes of every kind ;
For men and women we've supplies—
For children, too, of every size.
We've i.ADi&s' BOOTS, the hest that's made,
And Misses' too, of every grade ;
Our stock of Gaiters is complete—
Our Jefferson's cannot be beat.
Our Jenny Lind's nre just the thing ;
But of them we need not sing,
Merely say that they are cheap,
Double soled, and can't he heat.
Our Boots are all of the best kind,
A little the best in town, you'll find;
We've boy's boots too, so very low.
We arw surprised how fast they go.
Of half our stock we cannot sing,
For it consists of every thing
That women, men, or boys do wear—-
•So much we can't describe with care.
And if it suits the people's mind,
We'll take produce of every kind ;
But, then, the CASH, it is cifess'd
At all times will suit us the best.
You need not fear our shelves to thin,
Supplies are always coming in ;
We buy them cheap, and well we know,
We can't he beat in selling low.
Now, we invite you, oue and all,
We hope you'll not forget to call;
You'll tind us two doors from Wattson's store
And now we are dune—we'll say no more

Completely Cured in Three Days,
By Dr. J. W. Cooper's Vegetable Compound
Fever ami Ague Pills.
TtfF.SE FILLS are compound entirely of Vegetable
.Substances, and in nintj-ninerases out of every hun
dred, will perform a perfect and Complete cure in three
days. No instance has ever been known, where more
• than sir days have been required to perform a complete
cure- even in the very worst cases, and on the strongest
constitutions. We would earnestly say to all who are
| afliicted with this distressing disease, to get one box and
try litem, and in all cases, two boxes are warranted to
! ettre, if taken according to the directions, or the money
1 returned.
These pills not only perform a perfect cure in three
day®, but remove the bite and create a healthy tctiou of
1 the liver, and consequently fortify the system against a
future attack.
A LSO,
My Vegetable Ati-Dys)'t'p.\ia Bitters.
This Medicine is n certain cure for Dyspepsia in its
very worst forms. Thousands of cases have been com
pletely cured by it within the last year, which have
been entirely despaired of by the regular family physi
cians. We do not recommend it to cure everything—ive
recommend it to cure Dyspepsia, and the diseases orisi
natiug from it, and that it will cure in almost every case,
and it is recommended for nothing else. In many in
stances, even the worst of cases have been completely
cured in two and three months, hut it depends somewhat
upon the constitution of the patient. We would say to
all who are afliicted with Dyspepsia, give this medicine
a fair trial, and if it fails to do good, your money will be
returned.
ALSO,
My Vegetable Worm Powders.
This is the most wonderful Worm Destroyer ever
known, ami at the name time, o pleasant to take, that
almost every child will !<• fond of it. and many instances
have lieen known of children crj ing for more after once
taking it.
This medicine is in the form of u powder, the only
met: n ir.e ever used in that form, and it operates on a
principle entirely different from any other medicine ever
administered by any other physician. It is the only
me J n to which has no Worm-seed oil or Turpentine
combined with it, which is believed by all other physi
cians, to be the only two things which will destroy
worms, and these two things combined, together with
castor oil, ere the active principle* of all other worm
medicines, which every person who has ever tasted or
sfuelled, knows to he the inost nauseous of all nauseous
medicines, ami on account of which, there is generally
something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in
order to do this, it must lie something stronger than the
medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy
some of its medicinal properties. These powders are
simple and so harmless, that a child may eat a whole box
at once, and it will not be hurt, while at the same time,
the principle upon which it acts being different from any
thing else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms
with a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy
the seat worms, or Ascarides, and long, round worms, or
Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc
tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have
brought as many as FIVE Tape Worms front one person.
If your children have any symptoms of worms, try
these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will nev
er use any other. These are also warranted.
These medicines are all separate, and one for each dis
ease, ami each for only one disease. They are not re
commended, as many other medicines are, to cure some
fifteen or twenty diseases, and all of different natures,
but liiey are each to cure but one disease, and that they
will do in ninety -nine rases out of every hundred, ami
where they have a fair trial and fail in all cases, the
money will be returned.

CHUSTER, Pa., Aug. 22, JBI6.
J. C. Ayer—Sir: I was taken with a terrible cough,
brought (iu by a cold, in the beginning of last February,
and was confined to my bed more than two months
Coughing incessantly night and day, 1 became ghastly
and pale, iny eyes were sunken and glassy, and my
breath very short. Indeed, 1 was rapidly failing, and in
such distress for breath, that but little hope of my recov
ery could be entertained While in this situation a
friend of mine (the Rev. John Keller, of the Methodist
church) brought me a bottle of your CHERRY PECTORAL,
which 1 tried more to gratify him than from any cxpecta
tion of obtaining relief. Its good eff ct induced me to
continue its use, and I soon found my health much im
proved Now, in three months, iam well and strong,
a:td can attribute my cure only to your great medicine.
With the deepest gratitude, yours, See.

"For a lone time I was afflicted with general debility

From Dr. J. C. GILKS , A 'ewton Hamilton, Pa , said;
"1 have used a half dozen of your German Bitters rov
self, for Liver Complaint and diseases of a nervous char
acter, resulting from the abuse of mercury. I was poi

from which I obtained relief, although I have not let

DYSPEPTICS AND SKEPTICS, READ
In three-fourths of the cases ofdiseased Liver, Stom
ach and Nerves, the effect ufDr HonHand's Celebrated
German Bitters, (prepared only by Dr. Jackson, at the
Medicine Store, 1:20 Arch street,) is as positive as in the
case of A. A. Kaufman, Esq. Head, ickat he says!
LANCASTER, April 30, 1550
Resperted Sir ; I have been for a series of vears afflict
ed with Dyspepsia, Inactivity of the Liver, and Nervous
Debility. My menial powers have been so reduced a.
to render me quite unfit for the transaction of an j kind
of business. After consulting many eminent physicians
and using their prescriptions, and after using the most
popular remedies of the day, supposed to be applicable to
my case, I always failed to have permanent relief A
friend, with much persuasion, induced me to try a bottle
of your celebrated Bitters. 1 have used one bottle and
this day commenced the second I can with cheerful
ness state that it has happily improved me. Mv appe
tite and spirits have astonishingly improved, and I begin
to feel a* though 1 had grown (suddenly) ten years
younger, nnci really, I am almost prepared to say that I
now consider myself calculated for any business, while
ten days ago, 1 would have as soon undertaken to sonars
a circle as to have attempted it.
Yours respectfully, A. A KAUFMAN
To Dr. C. M. Jackson,
120 Arch street, Philadelphia.
The Editor of "Scott's Weekly Paper," one of Dm
largest literary and family newspapers publ.shed p.,a.
adelphia, says:
"Dr. Hoofland'a German Bitters, manufactured by Dr
Jackson, are now recommended by some of th e o ,ost
prominent members of the faculty, as an article of much
efficacy in cases of female weeklies*. As such is tho
case, we would advise all mothers to obtain a bottle and
thus save themselves much sickness. Persons of debtli
lateJ constitutions w ill find these bitters advantageous
to thstr health, as we know from experience the saluta-v
eSect they have upon weak systems "
That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dts
pepsia, no one can doubt after using it as directed It
acts specifically upon the stomach and liver ; it is prefer
able to calomel in all bilious diseases—the effect is iinine
ittate. They can be administered to FEMALE or IM AM
with safely and reliable benefit, at any time.
Beware of Counterfeits!
This medicine has attained that high character which
is necessary for all medicines to attain to induce coun
terfeiters lu put forth a spurious article, at the rishof the
lives of those who are innocently deceived.
Lcok 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.
