Joseph Ilnrrls on 'Weed.
A weed is rt plant growing where yon
do not want it to grow. Thistles are not
weeds when grown, as they are iu
Franco, to make prrf nmo. The thistles
growing in the Dencon's wheat are
weeds, ne does not want them there.
If you have six plants of corn in a hill
where you only want four, two of them
are weeds. A dead weed is not a weed.
A growing weed pumps up water out of
the ground The weeds iu an acre of
tne Dencon a clover pump up more wa
ter iu a day than all his animals drink
in a month. 'Weeds propagate faster
than rats. I Lave got more rats than
the Deacon, but tho Deacon beats me
on tho weeds. Tho boys shoot the rats,
lesterday they shot two and scared
away a dozen. Next year they will come
back ngaiu. The Deacon kills a hund
red of his weeds and buries n thousand.
Next spring they will come up by the
million. You can't get rid of weeds
unless you kill them. If you do not
kill them they will kill you. They are
worse than foot-rot in sheep. They
spread faster than caterpillars- on cur
raut bushes, or the canker-worms on
apple trees. Homo of the orchards in
this neighborhood look as though they
had been sprinkled over with keroseno
and set fire to. The worms lmvn Pnt..
off every leaf. Somo farmers keep off
.no i.iaeiuu Uy ;piuung tar bands round
the trunks of the trees in spring; some
don t. They think it is no use lighting
the worms. Some farmers think it is of
no use killing the weeds. It is natural
tor the soil to produce weeds. Thevsay
you can't kill them. Tho Deacon 'does
not say weeds can't bo killed, but he
does uot try to kill them. lie hoes his
corn. I don't hoe niv corn. I hoo tho
weeds. I would kill the weeds if there
was no corn. I am not sure that the
Deacon would. The Deacon never sum
mer fallows, lie never fall fallows. He
never tries to make the weeds grow. He
tries to smother them up for a few
mouths. He does not kill the roots.
He does not make the weed seeds grow
and then kill the young plants. The
weeds on his farm are getting worse and
worse. My farm used to be worse than
his; now some of it is cleaner than his.
I am fighting the weeds. He lets them
grow, and is waiting for something to
turn up. There are thousands of far
mers doing the same thing. The weeds
cost us more than all our State, national
and local taxes; more than all our
schools, churches, and newspapers.
They are mora expensive than children's
boots and ladies' bonnets. They are as
bad as cigars and fast horses. The
horse may break his neck, and you will
get rid of him; but the weeds will stick
tighter than a mortgage, and run up
faster than compound interest on a gro
cery bill. They are like bad habits,
lou must not tamper with them. No
half-way measures will answer. The
only way to stop using tobacco is U
stop. The only way to kill weeds is to
kill them. I hope the old gentleman
will be pleased with my " composition."
I hope when he visits this neighbor
hood again he will find fewer weeds.
Land worth 150 per aero ought to pro
duce something better than thistles,
red-root, quack-grass and chess.
How to Mix Things.
A lady asks some general information
as to the way of putting things together
in cake-making. Good' housekeepers
see that they have everything ready be
fore they begin flour, sugar, butter,
eggs, milk, and spices all on tho table,
so that they have to take no extra steps
to get these after they have begun their
baking; then thev put all the dry
llnu8 together first, and gradually add
the wet ones. In the white cake, about
which our correspondent speaks, she
ought first to have mixed together her
sugar and butter, then add her flour
and corn-starch, then her milk (from
which she should have saved sufficient
to dissolve her soda and cream of tar
tar, which is always the very last top
finish), then her eggs and flavoring.
Ve hope parentheses won't confuse
anybody, but it is really imperative to
put in tho soda and cream of tartar
after everything else, and just before
putting the cake into a hot oven. A
cool oven will ruin the most carefully
mixed cake. Custards are troublesome
things to make, and require a practiced
hand. Iu the chocolate custard, the
way is to pour the beaten yolks of eggs
gradually on the corn starch, stirring
till the mass is perfectly smooth and
consistent, then add the sugar and
then the hot milk, which must be pour
ed on slowly. The process of stirring
should not be stopped till tho custard
is done, unless one is provided with a
boiler on tke principle of the farina
kettle.
When the recipe given is too large
for a small family, it is easy to make
only a half or a quarter, taking care to
have all the proportions equal.
Nails.
Every farmer who has had occasion to
drive a nail into seasoned oak posts
knows its liability to bend and break.
If tho point be moistened in the month
it will usually drive moro kindly. Oil
is still better, but then it is inconveni
ent to dip each nail separately into it.
Another point observed is that boards
become loose e ventually from tho rust
ing of the nails, which, communicating
to the wood, causes not only an enlarge
ment of the nail-hole, but tho wearing
away of the nail itself, rendering tho
fence or the building slinky or insecure.
This may bo prevented by heating any
rough grease until it smokes and then
pouring it over the nails to be used.
The grea3e will penetrato tho pores
of the iron, and cause tho nails to last,
without rasting, an indefinite period.
Besides this no trouble will then be ex
perienced in driving them into the
hardest wood. The reason is that the
coating of grease prevents contact by
air, and consequently oxidation. Oxy
gen is the great destroyer of iron, and
moisutre is the inducing cause. Any
thing which is preserved from contact
with the air is preserved indefinitely,
and if it is kept dry the effect is meas
nreably the same. Paint upon build
ings prevents the contract of air and
moisture. If the whole fence cannot
be painted, the heads, at least, of the
nails should be touched therewith.
JExhuusf ion of Grain and Hay by Ralu.
According to Kuhne, the frequent
wetting of hay, &o., should be avoided
as much as possible, since iu time it
may thereby be rendered almost worth
less as fodder. Two and a half pounds
of unthreshed oats were sprinkled with
an equal weight of water, which was al
lowed simply to filter slowly through
into a vessel beneath, after, which the
oats were dried at a gentle heat. The
filtration occupied one hour, and seven
and one-half ounces of a brown liquid
were found in the vessel. The oats lost
one-fortieth of their weight, partly by
extraction in tho liquid, and partly by
drying. Similar experiments with dry
red clover and meadow-grass hay gave
a loss of one-eighth its weight by the
former, and of ote-tenth for the latter,
the filtration, however, occupying one
hour and a half, j

Deadly Enaonnter with a Man-Rater.
The following lsan extract from a
private letter of the surviving gentle
man in a late tiger affray at Secnndera
bad: Yes, I have had a very, very nar
row shave frsin a man-eater ; but, thank
Ood, I am not tiger's meat as yet, and
may never be so long as I have a good
weapon and a good eye. Such n mirao
ulous escape no man ever had, and I
doubt whether any sportsman living
has ever cheated a tiger out of his prey
as Ihavo done. I have been working
in n very wild pieco of country the last
three mouths, nud on account of the
high grass and having no leisure, I was
unablo to follow up any large game,
although tigers were roaming arouud
mo and elephants, committing havoc.
Tho hills have lately been on fire, and
the long grass cleared away, and I had
just completed tho field work of a most
important irrigation project, when, on
tho evening of the 23d, khubbur came
to mo of a fresh human victim added to
those which had fallen to a monster of a
man-eater. So troublesome was the
brute, that when out at work, we were
always afraid of being carried away.
One man was walked out of my camp' a
month ago. Knowing this to be pucka
khubbur, I loaded my express cartridges
and ordered my camp to tho nearest
village, four miles off. The next morn
ing early I started alono with my Bhika
ree a first-class man, having been one
of Nightingale's men. We arrived near
the kill, but owing to the thickness of
tho bushes I could not see the brute,
although Irf-ould hear the crunching of
bone. I moved cautiously toward him,
when thero was a sudden bound, and he
was off. I just got ouo more glimpse of
a part of his body, but did not fire, as I
had not a fair shot. Ho went on, and I
marked him some distance off going
into a small cane field. I followed up,
but found the spot dangerous, so decid
ed o going for beaters and returning
after breakfast. Accordingly at twelve
I returned witk about eighty men, ac
companied by a young friend named
O , who was most anxious to see a
tiger hunt a good little fellow, and
ouo whose memory I deeply lament.
On arrival at the ground I pointed
out to the beaters the cane the beast
had gono into, and directed them to
beat up toward me, where I posted my
self about thirty yards off on a large
rock, some fifteen feet from the ground.
My frieud, my shikaree, and myself,
taking our places close to each other,
the beat began and ended without signs
of the brute, and I was much disgusted
and disappointed, and was returning to
camp. Ou my way I walked up to
within five yards of the cane I had seen
him go into in the morning, and pointed
out the place to my young friend G .
We both sat down and chatted for about
teu minutes, when my shirakee pro
posed a beat over the same ground
toward us. I directed them to com
mence, at the same time expecting
nothing to appear, as the noise and
hubbub the beaters had made would
have driven the devil himself out. Bo
fore the beat commenced I ordered my
shikaree, a village shikaree and poor
young G to go up a tree close to
where we had been sitting, and I took
my stand at the roots, my maistry,
Ranrinh, being behind me. The beat
commenced, nnd had haVdly progressed
more thau fifty yards when from the
very cane out rushed the man-eater,
greatly infuriated, and not more than
four yards from me. He stood for one
instant and then sprang at me. I
dropped on one knoo and received him
in his spriug, having only time to fire
the first barrel nnd hold up my riflo to
ward off the blow he aimed at mo. The
rifle was knocked out of my hands, and
I was sent spinning over with my
maistry. For some timo we two with
the tiger were rolling over together,
and I saw that my shot had broken his
jaw, which was hanging down. This
doubtless prevented him from using his
teeth, and probably the blow from the
express bullet at such closo quarters
stunned or blinded him for the moment,
as otherwise he must have damaged
us more than he did. I got up, reel
ed and fell again, and must have
been unconscious from the blew for
about a minute. When I recovered
myself I saw the monster two yards
from me, reared up against the tree
and mauling some one.
My first impulse was to seize my rifle,
and this I found on top of a bush close
by. I tried to cock it, but found that
the stop bolt was so jammed forward
against the cock by the blow that the
latter would not move. I then tried to
open the breeeh to use the barrel I had
fired, but found the lever bent back so
frightfully that nothing could bo done.
Just then the animal bounded away
with a roar I never shall forget. To my
horror and deepest regret I found my
poor young friend, whom I had placed
for safety in tho tree, had fallen a vic
tim to this brute. I rushed forward
immediately, and with tho aid of my
maistry was carrying away the poor
young fellow, who was insensible, when
the tiger charged again ! Having no
weapons to protect ourselves with, we
dropped young G as quietly as we
could, and run to a tree twenty yards
off. The animal camo up 'to G ,
smelt him all over and then sat down
beside hirn, wishing, no doubt, to make
a meal of him, but his broken jaw,
which was hanging, must have pre
vented this ! I did not know what to
do. Hero I was helpless, not a weapon
available; all tho beaters had bolted,
and the sun with a vengeance was
blazing on iny Uare head. I was feeling
faint, as I had only jubt recovered from
an illness which had weakened me much,
f at hist got desperate, descended from
tho tree, and ran on to some ten beaters,
who, with my servants, were up in trees.
These I collected, and fortunately they
had two tomtoms with them. I took
one of them myself, and heading the
beaters we walked toward the brute,
making a great row. He could not stand
this, so he sneaked away into the jun
gle. We then rushed on, picked up the
young man, and were retiring, when he
again charged out of a bush. The
poor young fellow had recovered con
sciousness, and begged me not to leave
him.
When I found the animal coming at
us again, I tomtomed and shouted dia
bolically, and my staunch men and
beaters did the same. The brute
charged up to about twenty yards of us,
stood, roared at us, turned tail and
bolted. We then ran with the young
fellow some half a mile till clear of the
jungle, and then stopped. My "3reen
er" the young man had up the tree, and
th;s was damaged also. You would like
to know how the poor young fellow got
into the brute's clutches. Well, after I
was knocked over, the infuriated brute
was so stunned and blinded from the
effects of the shot that he ran at the
tree after rolling over with me, reared
up agaiust it, and was grappling with
it when young G thought that he
was climbing the tree to get at him.
and, instead of firing, got so par
alyzed and frightened that he lost all
hold, and fell bang Into the animal's
embrace, and was mauled frightfully
with the claws, and had his spine bro
ken, I believe. When I reoovered my
self, and he was rearing up against the
tree, I might have shot him dead easily,
if my rifle had been serviceable, and
thus, perhaps, have saved the poor
young fellow s life. When we got away
a sufficient distance, we gave Q-.
some water, and carried him into camp,
about two miles off. My poor wife was
in a frightened state, foras soon aslgot
to the tent door I swooned away from
excitement, fatigue and tho blow I had
received. Tho blood was flowing from
my cars, nnd I had two ugly scratches
on my neck and arm. My wife nursed
the young man first, cut his coat and
shirt open, washed the wounds, staneh
ed them, and then applied strips of
sticking plaster. The poor young fol
low was conscious to the last, and
thanked my wife several times ; took
some nourishment, and we had every
hope of his still getting over it J but his
arms and legs wero paralyzed, and six
hours after the accident tetanus set in,
and he breathed his last. We had to
take him in thirty miles tp bury him,
and a sad night's march we had, I could
hardly sit on my horse. After burying
the young man, I started at once for
medical aid into Hyderabad, ninety
eight miles away.
(letting Out or Bed.
In olden times children were early
taught that the instant they woke in the
morning they must bounce out of bed,
not waiting for a moment's consideration
until they were safely landed on tho
floor. Some wide-awake children, whose
eyes naturally opened with the coming
dawn, could easily accomplish this feat;
but alas for the poor little creatures
who found it nearly impossible to shake
off tho drowsiness that pervaded their
entire systems I In a pitiful state of
semi-sleep they dragged themselves
from bed and tried to dress. Those
who retain vivid remembrances of such
experiences of childhood will be grati
fied to know that Dr. Hall says that up
to eighteen years every child Bhould bo
allowed to rest in bed, after sleep is
over, until they feel as if they had rath
er get up thau not ; that it is a great
mistake for persons, old or young
especially children and feeble or sed
entary persons to bounce out of bed
tho moment they wake up ; that fifteen
or twenty minutes spent in gradually
waking up, after the eyes are opened,
and iu turning over and stretching the
limbs, do as much good as sound sleep,
because the operations set tho blood in
motion by degrees, tending to equalize
the circulation ; for during sleep the
blood tends to stagnation, the heart
beats feebly and slowly, and any shook
to tho system sending the blood in
overwhelming quantities to the heart is
the greatest absurdity.
An Artful Trick.
A mau having the appearance of a
countryman, and laden with a bundle of
hay, managed to fall through a pane of
glass, yalue thirty pounds, which
adorned the establishment of a large
mercer in the Edgeware Boad, London.
The shopkeeper quickly seized upon the
fellow, who protested he had no money,
and pleaded the weight of his load as
an excuse. Two gentlemen, lookers on,
testified to their having watched the
"stupid clown," and just before re
marked that his gross carelessness
wonld lead to some mischief, and they
suggested that the "booby" should be
searched. This was promptly done, and
the production of a fifty pound note
was the result. Vainly did the country
mau, withtears in his eyes, proclaim
the note to be his "measters," the pro
ceeds of his journey to market. The
mercer paid himself the thirty pounds,
by giving the boor twenty pounds in
Bank of England notes, and retaining
possession oi the one found upon him
The wight said he would go and get a
policeman, that ho might "have the
law" upon the shopkeeper, and left tho
premises, and the two gentlemen bland
ly took their leave, after congratulating
the tradesman on the fortunate result
which had attended their suggestion of
a search. Of course, the reader guesses
the upshot the fifty ponnd note was a
forgery, ana the whole proceeding a
trick.
The King of Beasts.
Fortunately for African hunters, the
lion is a calculating fellow, and does not
spring upon his prey till he has mea
sured the ground, and has reached the
distance of ten or twelve paces, where
he lies crouching upon the ground,
gathering himself for the effort. The
hunters make it aiule never to fireupon
tho lion till he lies down at this short
distance, so that they can aim directly
at the head with the most perfect cer
tainty. If a person has the misfortune
to meet a lion, his only hope of eafety
is to stand perfectly still, even though
the animal crouches to make a spring
that spring will not be hazarded if the
man has only nerve enough to remain
motionless as a statue, and look stead
ily at the lion. The animal hesitates,
rises slowly, retreats some steps, look
ing earnestly about him, lies down,
again retreats, till having thus by de
grees got quite out of what he seems to
feel as the magic circle of man's influ
ence, he takes flight in the utmost
haste
Ready Money,
Keep ready money on hand if you
can. No matter if it is only a little
sum. If it is only sufficient for the cur
rent expenses, it is a great convenience,
to say the least. Any one who has tried
aud compared the credit with the cash
system, will readily admit tho correct
ness of the above remark. When you
buy for cash you generally get things
cheaper--get better weight and measure,
and all the favors the dealer can extend
to his patrons. On the chronic credit
system, the matter is msually reversed.
If you try to avoid credit by borrowing,
you improve matters very little, if any.
Hence we give this advice, " Turn an
honest penny " whenever you can, and
always have sufficient money on hand
to meet your small engagements.
Washing Woolens. Prof. Artus.who
has devoted himself to the discovery of
the reason why woolen clothing, when
washed with soap and water, will insist
upon shrinking and becoming thick and
acquiring that peculiar odor and feeling
which so annoys housekeepers, says
these evil effects aie due to the decom
position of soap by the acids present in
the perspiration and other waste of the
skin which the clothing absorbs. The
fat of the soap is then precipitated upon
the wooL These effects may be pre
vented by steeping the articles in a
warm solution of washing soda for sev
eral hours, then adding some warm wa
ter and a few drops of ammonia. The
woolens are then to be washed out and
rinsed in lukewarm water.

The Lion nnd the Shark.
It is now many years since a Captain
Parker commanded a brig named the
Sarah, and sailed from London for the
coast of Africa with a general cargo to
barter for produce. In one of his busi
ness transactions, amongst other com
modities, h.e got a young cub lion, and
resolved to bring it home to London.
Bob Jones, the cabin-boy, took charge
of it, andt there not being a dog on
board, putt into the dog-kennel, and
by his kindness to it, and his feeding it
regularly, they became great friends.
The cub grew very fast, and Bob
wonld play with it every chance he had,
and even neglected his duty to gambol
with the favorite. Still, the captain
would not see this, fr he was as fond
of the cub as the boy was, though he
dared not make so free with it.
A great number of people used to go
to the dock to see this creature, as it
became so fond of the boy, and would
play and roll about the deck with him
on a fine doy, to the great amusement
of the lookers-on ; in fact, they were
more like two lion whelps, tumbling
over each other and wrestling, than
anything else ; but no one except Bob
dared touch the cuo.
Then the Sarah was chartered, at so
much per month, to go to Akyab to load
rice, and was about eighteen months on
the vovatre round. When the vessel
returned to London the lion had grown
to be as large as a .Newfoundland dog,
and all the time the boy Jones had
been his comrade and attendant, and
could still take the same liberties with
it. but no one else dared to do so, not
even the captain, though he was very
kind to it, and he would not allow any
oi the sailors to be otherwise. Unco,
half in jest, one of the men offered to
take a rope's end to the cub, but its
fury was po great that the est was
never repeated, aud the man was not
safe on the deck afterwards. On the
w-hole, however, all the sailors were
fond of the creature, and wquld have
liked to play with it, but none were
permitted, or indeed safe to do so, ex
cept his first friend, Bob Jones. With
him the whelp was always docile.
A singular circumstance occurred on
the homeward passage Three days
after passing the Cape of Good Hope
the Sarah fell in with a number of
sharks. It was a fine, calm day, and
all on board set to work to try and
catch one of these monsters. The offi
cers tried to shoot one, aud the sailors
to harpoon one, but all in vain. At
last the sailors got a long rope, in which
they tied a sliding loop or noose, and
with great difficulty they managed to
throw this over the head of a shark
which approached the vessel nearer
than the rest ; then they drew the rope
tightly, aud with immense exertion the
monster was got on board, after about
six hours' labor. Once on deck, the
shark made such use of its tail that no
one could venture to go near it. Pres
ently the young lion, seeing a stranger
on deck cutting such queer capers,
seemed curious to have a nearer look
at him, but his enterprise cost him
dear, for the shark managed to get one
of the lion s fore-paws in its mouth.
He then became almost mad with rage
and pain, for his foot could not be ex
tricated until the upper and lower jaws
of the monstrous shark were forced
apart, while the roars of the lion were
awfully hideous to hear.
A new office now devolved upon Bob
Jones, for ho alone could venture to go
near the wounded whelp. He washed
its injured paw and carefully bound it
up, while the poor animal lay still aud
permitted him to do as he liked with it,
and even seemed to be grateful for his
attentions. These were constantly per
formed, and the noble animal evinced
greater fondness than ever for his
attendant, but the vessel nearly reached
England before the lion's foot was quite
well.
Captain Parker was afraid to take the
lion to sea again, although all on board,
and especially Bob Jones, was sorry to
part with it, but the risk was too great,
so he sold hiB singular passenger to an
American captain for 15. What became
of it afterwards we never knew.--,eisure

A Terrible Cholera Slory.
The Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman learns
from a Mr. F. J. Settle, who has been
running a steam saw-mill at Sand
liiifle, in Henry County, the particulars
of one of the saddest tragedies in con
nection with the recent visitatiou of
the cholera at that place that haR come
within our knowledge. At the time of
the first cholera panic at Sand Ilifllo the
Eddington family, consisting of Mr.
and Mrs. Eddington and their four
children, left the place nnd fled with
the rest. After a short time, however,
they returned and took possession oi
their dwelling, which is situated direct
ly against the cliff in the valley of the
Kentucky river, which is very narrow
at this point. Within two or three
days after returning, Miss Eddington,
a young lady of some seventeen or
eighteen years, took the cholera at 10
p.m. and died in four hours. Her brother-in-law,
Mr. bhelton, who waited on
her during her sickness and afterwards
sat up with the corpse, was takeu the
same day aud died within a few hours.
Mr. Eddington's son, a young man of
nineteen or twenty years, with some
difficulty obtained a wagon and team
with which to convey the body of his
dead sister to the place of burial at
Union Church, six miles distant, hav
ing previously sent forward a request
to Borne friends to have the grave dug.
He was followed by his father and mo
ther and the two younger children in
another vehicle. Ou their arrival in
the vicinity of the church they nt only
found that the request to have the grave
prepared had been neglected, but the
people residing there refused to permit
them to enter their houses. The young
man toon the coma containing Ins sis
ter's body to the church, and after de
positing it therein repaired to the resi
dence of an uncle a few miles off. but
by the time he arrived there he was so
far gone with the cholera that he died
in a few hours. Mr. Eddington, with
his wife and two children, went a short
distance from the church to an unoccu
pied house recently vacated by its
owner for a new one. By this time all
four were sick with the fearful disease,
but it is believed that soon after enter
ing this unoccupied house its owner
came about nine or ten o clock at night
with a loaded shot-gun and with threats
of instant death drove them out. They,
too, were then compelled, sick nitrh
unto death as they were, to seek shelter
with the dead body of tlm daughter
in the churoh, and there before day
light the next morning, the two chil
dren died. Later some good Samaritan
from the neighborhood came forward.
and after performing the offices of buri
al for the two children, took Mr. and
Mrs. Eddington to their homes, where
iney anally triumphed over the fell ais
ease and were restored to health.

Nature's Appeal for Help.
Every indication of debility and ( xhanstlon Is
mute appeal of Nature for medicinal aid to arrest
the progress of docay. How are these silent ap
peals of physical weakness to the resources of the
healing art usually met 1 Too of ten, unfortunately,
the drugs prescribed aggravate the symptoms.
Whoever recommends drastto purgatives, or
mineral salivants, or poisonous alkaloids, under
such circumstances, Is an ally tf the ailment and
an enemy of the patient. Whoever, on the con
trary, advises the broken down and desponding
sufferer to resort to that peorless vegctab'" lnvigo
rant, nostetter's Stomach Bitters, for aid and
comfort, Is a true philanthropist, It is safe to say
that there never was an instance in which such
advise was given and accepted without the happi
est results. From the very depths of weakness
and despondency thousands have been rcstorod tc
vigor, health and cheerfulness by the ronovating
operation of this wholesome stimulant and altera
tive. All ita medicinal ingreulents are remarkable
for their sanative properties, and in combination
farm an absolute specific for indigestion, liver com
plaint; nervous affections, rheumatism, Intermit
tent and remittent fevers, gonoral and local weak
ness, and every specloa of disorder incident to
chango of season or climate. The stimulative cle
ment of this invaluable protective and res'oratlve
is not an impure excitant, but the thoroughly rec
tified essenco ot sound rye, admitted by all good
chemists to be the most hcalthtul of exhilaranta.

Cgar Bitters aro n purely VcRetable
preparation, made chiefly from tho na
tive herbs found cn tho lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, tlie medicinal properties of which
are extracted thorefrom without the use
of Alcohol. Tho question Is almost
daily asked, "Yhat is tho cause of tho
unparalleled success of Vinf.qar Bit.
TEP.sf " Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, nnd tho patient re
covers his health. They aro the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Kenovator nud Invigorator
of tho system. Never before in
history of tho world has a medicine been
compounded possessing tho rcmnrlcablo
qualities of Vinkoar Bitters in healing: tha
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Yiscenul Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.

invariably accompanied by t-xt'-nice de

treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. Thero
is no cathartic for "the purpose equal to
Dr.. J. Walkeu's Vixeg.mi Hitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which tho
bowels are loaded, at tho same timo
stimulating the sveretion3 of tho liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the itodyasiiinst disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vixebar
Hitters. No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.

Iu these, as iu all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walker's Vineoar Bitteks have
shown their jrre.it curative powers iu the
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have no ual. Such Diseases
are caused by Vitiated liloofi.

gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as

Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ping-worms,
Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Biscolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Discuses of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of the system in a" short time by the use
of tbeso Bitters.
Pin, Tape, nnd other Worms,
lurking in tho syntem of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. Xo
system of medicine, "no vermifuges, no an
thehuinitlcs will free the t-yatcm from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonio
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the g'kiu in I'iuiples, Eruptions, or Sores:
cleanse it when j-ou find it obstructed and
sluggish in tho veins; cleanse it wheu it is
foul ; your feelings will tU you when. Keep
the blood pure, and tho health of the system
will follow.
