VALUE OF FALLEN LEAVES.
No manure is so well worth the saving
in October and November as the falling
leaves or the season.
According to Payen, they contain nearly
three times as much nitrogen as ordinary
barn yard manure, and every farmer who
has strewn and covered them in his trench
es late in the fall or in December, most
have noticed the next season how black and
moist the soil that adheres to the thrifty
young roots. No vegetable substance yields
its woody fibre and becomes soluble quick
er than leaves, and from this very cause
they are soon dried up, scattered to the
winds and wasted if not gathered and
trenched in or composted before the advent
of severe winter.
All leaves are poor in carbon, and rich
in alkaline salts, as nitrogen, they are espe
cially valuable in compost with manure and
dead animals, poor in potash, but abound
ing in carbon and lime phosphates.
But the great value of leaves is in the
extra nitrogen they contain. Prof. Jack
son truly says that the compounds of nitro
gen not only decompose readily themselves,
but they also induce the elements of either
organic matter with which they are in con
tact, to assume new forms, or to enter into
new chemical combinations; and according
to the long continued and varied Roth
hamsted, experiments of the indefatigable
Lawes and Dr. Gilbert, nitrogen, in its
compound form (ammonia) also exerts the
same potent influence on the inorganic or
mineral elements of the soil, rendering
even sand into the soluble food of plants.
Yet every farmer or gardener ought also
to know that his own mechanical aid in
trenching or ploughing in order to keep
his soil permeable and absorptive in inu:s
pensable to aid nature in developing her
chemical process. — Rural New Yorker.

THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury.has discovered
in one of our common pasture weeds u
remedy that cures
Every Kind of llumor
from the worst Scrofula Sown to a common Pimpl*.
HE h* tried it in over HCi cases, and never failed ex
cept in two cases, (boib thunder humor.) He has
now in hi-possession over two hundred certificates of
US virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore
Mouth.
Oae to three bottles will cure the worst kind of Pimples
on the Face
Two to three bottles will clean the system of Biles.
Two boules are warranted to cure the worst Canker
in the Mouth and Stomach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst
case of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all Humor ia
the eyes. . . ... ;
Two bottles are warranted to cure Running of the
Ears and Blotches amonf ihe Hair.
Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and
running Ulcers. ...
One bottle will cure Scaly Eruption of the Skin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst I
case f Ringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most
da Oft rate cam of Rh^niti^tbni,
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the Sail
Rheum ,
Five to eight hollies will cure the worst case of Scror
ula
A benefit is always experienced fron the first bottle,
and a perfect cure is warranted w hen the above quanti
ty is l. ken.
Reader, 1 peddled over a thousand botiiesof this in the
vicinity of Bo.inn. 1 know the effect ofh m every case
So sure as waier will extinguish fire, sosure will this
cure humor. 1 never sold a botile of U but that swld an
other; after a trial it always speaks for itself There
are two things about this herb that appears to me sur
prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pla
ces quite plentiful, and yet ■! value has neTer been
known until! discovered it in 18;fi—second,that ii should
cure all kinds of humor
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and greit
popularity of the discovery, I will stale that in April,
1843.1 peddled it and sold about six bottles per day—in
April, 1844. 1 sold over one thousand bottles per day at it.
•Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in
business twenty and thirty years, say Hut nothing in the
annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a
universal praise f * from *" <!•"*"
In my own practice I always kepi tt strictly for humors
—but since its introduction saa general family medicine,
great and wonderful virtues have been found MI U Hut 1
never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was
slwsys considered incurable, have been cured by a few
bottles. O. what a mercy tf it will prove effectual in all
cases of that awful malady-there are few who have
seen more of h than I have.
I knuw of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged
people, cured by it. For the various diseases nf ibe Liv
er, Sick Headache. Dyspepsia. Asthma, Pever and Ague,
Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, aud particularly
in disease of the Kidneys. Ac., the discovery has done
more good than any medicine ever known
No chsngs of diet ever necessary—eat the best you

A FEW bottles of this Sarsaparilia, put up

being used, is subject to the strictest chemical
tests, and its genuineness ascertained before

the virtues of several other valuable medical
roots, together forming the best compound, and

INHALATION
IK
a ON ST MP TIC IT.
BRONCHITIS, Laryngi'is, and olherdiseases
of the Chest and Throat successfully treat
ed by tie Inhalation of Medicated Vapors and
Powders, by Absorption and Constitutional
Treatment, as practiced at the Stuyvesar.t Med
ical institute. New York City, N Y.
The unprecedented success which has attend
ed this method of treating diseases of the lungs
and throat, has induced the physicians to depart
from their usual course, and avail themselves
of the columns of the press to make it known
to such as may be laboring under, or predis
posed to such affections. The dawn of a
brighter day has at length arrived for the con
sumptive ; the doctrine of the incurability of
consumption has now passed away. We have
indubitable proofs in our possession, that con
sumption in all its stages can be cured ; in the
first place, by tubercular absorption ; in the
second, by the translormation of tubercule into
chalky and calcareous concretions; in the third,
by cicatrices or scars. Those wedded to the
opinion of the past may assert that it is even
now incurable; such are behind the age. To
all this great truth must be apparent, viz : that
medicines inhaled directly into the lungs, wheth
er in the form of vapor or powder, must be
more effectual than that taken into the stomach.
In short, the only ark of refuge for the con
sumptive is Inhalation, and such additional
means as the judicious physician will avail
himself of.
Such of the profession that have adapted in
halation have found it soothing and efficacious
in the highest degree, arresting the progress of
the disease, and working wonders in many des
perate cases, in " verity, a triumph of our art
over this fell destroyer of our species "
NOTE. —Physicians wishing to make them
selves acquainted with this practice, are in
formed that our time being valuable we can
only reply, as to ingredients used, to such let
ters that contain a fee.
The fee in all cases of consumption will be
910, on receipt of which the necessary medi
cines and instrument will be forwarded. Ap
plicants will please state age, sex, occupation,
whether married or single, how long affected,
if any hereditary disease exists in the family,
and symptoms generally. Let the name, town

M. M. FAXON'S
Attachment of Vulcanized India Rubber
Spring to the Tubes oj Grain DriUt.
THE undersigned, baring perfected as arrangement fur
lite attachment of a Gum Spring to the Tubes and
Drag Bare of Grain Drills, is happy to inform Farmers
and all utbera interested in the growing of Wheat and
other grains, that he is prepared to furnish GRAIN
DRILLS, with the above article attached,at the .honest
notice, st his Foundry, in McVeytown, Pa. Seeders have
become an almost indispensable article to the Farmer,
and he will find that the attachment of the Gum Spring
w.il enhance its value si least one-half. All the detea
tion and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pl.
is entire'v done away with by this arrangement, and a
man, or boy,can perform nearly doable the labor that be
could under the old plan, with much greater ease, faotk to
himself and horses. There need be no fear of the Spring
breaking, for if there is an article that will neither break,
rot, or wear out, the Gum Spring is that article, and I
hsrtard nothing in saying that my Grain Drill is the sim
plest in construction, tnost economical in performance,
and therefore the most durable ever offered to the agri
cultural public. The feed is so arranged that it will sow
1, If, U, I|, and 2 bushels per acre. Persons desiring
one for the coming seeding are requested to send in their
orders as early as possible. Direct to McVeytown, Mif
