'totalling or our Forest Tree".
We clisire here to allude to a subject - which has
n,, t impertant.,indircel bearing, at, lea s t the_sid?
.Pct of agriculture, because it illustrate s, . the great
I rtation . piinciple in the vegetable kingdom.
Y '~ Tho lineal in many parts Of the country, nee about
changing their tenants./ In. oar vicinity, the great.
burden of foreit timber, as found here by the
Grit settlers, was white eak. This is about giving
10liori to the.black-oak, 'especially . nn eleratetliidlt•
es, or where the land is inelined to be sandy. The
venerable whitemaks diameters from 30 to LO
are in most instances, surrounded by a crop
of sapling black-oaks, leaving beneath their shade
Uothing to perpetuate their,kind. -•
Walt - are not mistaken in nor judgment, the
cause of this is not very hard to define. It is a mat.
- ter well understood, by those who have given any
.
attention to the subject, that there is,. M every por
'tirin - of the earth, certain elements or principles
4huch go into the composition of vegetable main.
That any particular species of vegetable will soonir
or later consume out of the earth that which is pe.
io its nature, after which that particular kind
will not prosper until the principle which nourishes
.it is reproduced, either by re:ting the land, or by
special manuring.
Some vegetables exhaust.lrom the soil their pe.
ehliarfoOil More rapidly than others Flax, for
inltarree. It used to be-said by old farmers, that a
piece of ground, that had borne amp °has would
- riot bear another for seven years.
- it is on this principle that the rotation in crops is
predicted, a chicoine, for the 'knowledge of %Well
we are indebted to nor experimental farmerS, and
to book reading. This principle, of the rotation in
crops, is probably as well linden:food, at this time,
as anything connec:ed wi the science of agricul.
Iwo. And this is 1110 principle no doubt, which ex
plains why it is that the white oak is leaving our
forests and giirin:.s place to that blacksoak timber.—
It has been so long the undisputed tenant of our
wends, that, having exhausted from the soil th'at al
iment upon which it lives, it retires, in the o-iler of
Providence, to give place to a enceessor whose
special food yet remains in rich' abundance in the
earth.
Every farmer ,Min has attentively observed the
prog,reAs of vegetation in his own lane and yard,
_must have noticed, the operation of this principle.
The order of on? grounds is something like this, the
first occupant was the smart weed—the next a spe
cies of white blossomed weed—then the dog fennel,
and now the yarrow is coming. As soon as the ali
ment was extracted that nourished each particuiar
it died for the want of something In live on,
and was succeeded by another species, and perhaps
. mere accident determined the'successor.
Since our :minion has been directed to this !mu
fti:ion in the forest, we have maths the subject a
matter of inquiry, when favored with company of
men who would be likely to notice' things of this
kind.
Having been referred wi , lt reference of this ma
ter, to Joshua Coperthwaite, of Mid ford N. J., where
they have timber lands which have frequently been
cut Off fortnpply of wood to Philadelphia mar
ket, we wr to that gentleman upon the subject,
and have received his answer, from which we take
the following extract 1f the pine iq cut oil the
oak will grow, and it the oak is cut off the pine will
grow."
At the late State Fair, at Cincinnati, we met with
an intelligent Info groWer frr7- , Illinois, to whom
we mentioned th.s forest subject, aid found he had
noticed this change going on arncria the flees of the
wood. At our request he pe!.cille,l down and han
ded us the following statement. lie was formerly
a resident of Ohirti and his remarks refer to this
State: •
" I have long been convicted that two genera.
tions of the same kind of forest trees, seldom or
never succeed each other on the same tract of land.
A crop ot trees, nearly all of one kind, which last
from two to four and sometimes to five centuries,
seem to exhaust the soil-of that pectil,ar nutriment,
which is adapted to th.tt sort, aud at the same time
prepares it for some other. , •

timber on each side of it. Again ; most of the
west part of Knox county, thirty years ago, when I
first became acquainted with it, covered .vith a
growth of beach, slightly mixed with other timber
Thatlhis growth had succeeded an oak forest was
quite plain, from the flint, that oak trees of emu

in every direction.

Mr, Crowell took ten calves (all heifers) last
spring, and commenced feedingtliom on sour milk
at a few days old, keeping them on the same kind
of food during the summer, taking good care to feed
them uniformly, but not very abundantly, so as to
keep them growing thriftily, without fatting too rap

the unspeiskairle-benefit-I hare received - from - the use
of hbrinvaluabbr medicine. - • • • •
' Early lad fall,l contracted a violent cold, and in
consequence - of which I had chills, alternated •with -fe
ver. pains in my right breast and shoulder blade; with
a bad - cough.-and no ON potter at ion.- I kept- getting
worse nail I took my bed, and had the attendance of
My family physician. I was under his care about four
weeks, and at the expirationof that time was reduced
so low that despair took hold of myself and friends,
and even my physician abandoned me -and gave me
uplo . die with the -hasty consumption. My appetite
was gone, my bowels very irregular. fever and night.
Sweats, pain in my breast and shoulder, attended with
e distressing cough, which was very tight ; my flesh
had nearly el gone, and was w weak that I entail
scarcely raise 'my tried from the pill Ow. end was truly
an object of pity to behold. My friends had been sent
for to see me die, and my sick bed was surrounded by
kind and sympathizing neighbors, yaw had come to
witness my departure frost this world.
When all rays-of -tope hest fled of my recovery, a
neighbor, Mr. David Conrad, proposed to try Scbenck's
Pulenorrie Syrup, with a view of loosening my cough
and relieving me of the tough . phlegm, and as a means
of affording teniporary relief; remarking 'et the time,
"than"[ was too far gone for the Syrup to be of any
permanent.benefit." My wife, anxious for the relief
of my intense sufferings, procured some of the Put
monic Syrup. I found it *fronted me relief, and eon.
tinned using it. I could feel its healing influence
upon my lungs. •
I continue to improve under-its use, and my friends
were much gratified to witness my unexpected am.
provement ; many of my neighbors came to look at me
as one raised from the dead.
My cough now became loose, and I. felt something
break, w en I had the pain in my hteast, and I dis
charged large quantities of yellow matter. I have for
_weeks discharged and ra i sed a spit box full of matter
every day, with hard lumps like grains of something.
My bowels now became regular and nttural, and my
appetite was so far improved, that 1 could scarcely re
frain from eating too much. My strength improved,
and I regained my flesh.
I continued to improve in every respect soon after I
commenced using the Syrup, and the improvement
continued until I was restored to my health. I have
passed through the inclement weather- of the latter
part of winter and the spring, and feel as well now as
ever I felt in my life, and I em this day a living testi
mony of the great efficacy of Schenck's Pulmontc
Syrup in curing pulmonary diseases.
Lest this statement be thought too highly colgred by
some people, I nil : loin certificates of a number , of the
inhabitants of l'acony, who saw me at different times
• during my disaase, and never expected to acetate restor
ed. I also append the certificate of the brothers of

watched over me, and fully believed they would eon
, sign my terrains to the tomb ; but, thanks to Dr.
Schenck for his invaluable Pulninnic Syrup, my life
has been spared. and I am permitted to make tho fore
going statement for the benefit of suffering mankind.
I tesi.le at Tacony,anl am .well known by most of
the people there, will ha gratified to have any
person call upon me and learn more particulars of the
wines of this medicine. JOIfT C. GREEN",

Holmesburg, Philadelphia Co., June 25, 1.161.
The undersigned, residents of Tacony. eight miles
above Philadelphia, being well acquainted with Juin]
C. Green. and the circumstances attending' his ease,
feel impelled by a deep sense of imperative duty, to
make universally known to the public his entire recnv
ery from the.very last sieges of Ptilmotivy Consump
tion. 'ao entirely helpless was his condition, having
been hut a brief period since in that rapid.y sinkin.;
and emaciate state, as to ut'erly preclude, in the opin
ion of his physicians and friends,who watched by his
bedside, all hopes of even a temporary recovery
restoration to his present robust health. Thus the care
ful use of your invaluable Specific, the Pulmonic Syr
up, makes it our belief, under the circumstances of his
previous prostrate, not to say dying condition, one of
the most - startling results that the whole annals of medi
cal skill cr science can produce. It deserves to be im
perishably reco-ded to your credit, and secure to you,
the greatest discoverer of this hitherto remediless
die
'ease, a lasting monument and a world-wide reputation
in the healing art, that no time may either diminish or
destroy. Having witnessed Mr. Green's distressing
struggles and sufferings from a continued cough, BU.
peraddell to the other symptoms consequent upon, or
attending to the last stages of a pulmonary disease ;
and. moreover, it being so generally believed by his nu
merous friends that no human power could relieve, or
protract his life, much less restore him haat again to
his former health, we feel it thus our duty to give our
unqualified testimony of Mr. Green's perfect recovery,
by means of the exclusive use of your wonderful Syr
up ; and we should indeed rejoice if we could be made
the humble instrumenli of relief and cure to others who
may he so unfortunate as to be similarly .meted.

ORRICK S VERMIF.U9E,
Or Wort* Destroyer.
;his Medicine contains no Mercury, nor any . other
Mineral substan.ce... Alt purely Vegetable.
This remedy for worms is one of the most tetraor
dinary, ever used. It effectually eradicates Worths of
all ions from children and adults.
Thousands perish by worm. without the real cause
being known. Some other reason is assigned for the
sickness, until too late to cure the real muse.
What immense responsibility rests upon tbe parent
who dries not know. and the doctor who does not un
ilerstand, tbe complaint which is destroying those pre
cious flowers of life—children.
What should be done !
The answer is plain. Give the Vertuifuge, which
will be sure to do good if they have, no Worms, end if
they have, it will destroy and eradicate them with a
certainty and precision truly astonishing.
There is no mercury or mineral in it. Mercury is
the basis of most worm remedies ; and the remedy is
sometimes worse then the disease. tte never use fez.
enges, but rely upon this. Every person will be con
vince:l on one trial that it is the most perfect cure
ever invented.
The immense sale that this Vermifage has, is a sure
test of its value sad the estimation in which it is held ,
by families. It would be quite too expensive td pub
lish the volumes of certificates that have been given
for this article, and the users of it are requested to
spresd th a name toe persona whom they think will
be benefine.l by it.
speak of it in all families, and you will do your du
ty to your follow creatures, and feel assured of the ap-
probation of all good men, and will receive yourleward
in heaven.
We call on all good citizens to make known the of
feels of this wonderful remedy.
Remember, and esk for Orrieh's Vermiftsge.
• Startling racts.
Hundreds of children and adults are lost yearly with
worms, viten some other cause has been supposed to
be the true one.
It is admitted by all doctors that scarce a man, wo
man, or child exists, but what sootier or later are
troubled with worms, and in hundreds of cases. sad to
relate, a supposed fever, scarlatina, cold, or some other
ailing carries off the dower (tithe human family—
while in truth they die of worms! and these could
have been eradicated in a day, by the use of one bottle
of GRIM 11.ERNIFtifi
How sickening the thou phi that there things shonlir
he—and whr• can ever f,rtive themselves for not try
ing this WOAD[ EX'I'LRMINATOR, when they
know that even if the case was not worms, this reme
dy could not by any possibility do hurt—but always
goad as a purgative, let the direese be' what it may.
How important then to use it, and who will dare to
take the responsibility to do without it! Let all pa
rents ask themmlves this question in truth and sober
ness.
