Aopse can be ntiliaed for the grease by
poihng in water, allowing it to cool,
then removing from the water and boil
ing till all the water is expelled. Of
course the whiter the grease the nicer
tho soap. - Take six pounds sal soda,
six pounds grease, three and a half
pounds new stone lime, four gallons
soft water, half pound borax. Put soda,
lime and water into an iron boiler, boil
till all is dissolved. When well settled
pour off the clear lye, wash out the ket
tie and pour in the lye, grease and
borax, boil till it comes to soap, pour
into a tub to cool, and when hard out
into bars and put on boards to dry.
This is very nice for washing white
flannels and calioo.
Purltlnsr Rancid Butter.
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman gives a recipe in that paper for
restoring rancid butter to its original
flavor. We do not believe it can be
none. Undoubtedly the rancidity may
be removed, but the original flavor, if
it was a good one, cannot be restored to
it after it is destroyed, any more than
life can be restored to a dead body,
tfut here is the recipe : To one quart
of water, add fifty-five drops of the
liquor of chloride of lime ; then wash
thoroughly in this mixture five pounds
of rancid butter. It must remain in
the mixture two hours. Then wash
twice in pure water, and once in sweet
milk ; add salt. This preparation of
nine contains nothing injurious."
onionde of lime has nearly as disagree
able an odor as rancid butter, besides
being much more powerful.
Transplanting Beets.
Make a hole in the ground two or
three inches deep, fill it with water (if
cold all the better), put the beet into it
os far as you wish it to go, then fill in
with dirt, pressing it firmly around the
plant. That is' all ; so much and no
more. This method might be too ex
pensive and slow where the plants were
started in a hot bed ; but where they
are sowed in the bed in which they are
to grow, there is no way so good. They
can be transplanted in this manner in a
clear, hot, sunshiny day, with no loss.
A garden trowel is the best tool to use
in transplanting.
A Vlgoroua Lie.
There is going the rounds of the pa
pers a statement that " by rooting a
limb of a peach, and then cutting it
from the body of the tree, thus making
the sap run backward, the frnit will be
stoneless." It states it will take about
three years to root the branches. It
takes about three years, too, for this
story, nnd the like of it, to go the
rounds. It has been circulating for at
least a century, and the fact that there
is no truth in it does not in the least
affect its vitality.
Transplanting Beetg.
Beets may be transplanted success
fully. The proper time to transplant
is when the root is an inch or more in
diameter. The tap root should be cut
off and the leaves ut the top. This will
insure growth. The leaves, if left upon
the root, would draw all tne moisture
from it, and the plant would die. When
the leaves are cut off half an inch
above the crown the evaporation can
not take place, and the growth of root
and new leaves are simultaneous.
Bret ilarte Loses $10,000.
The recent announcement of the sus
pension of the Lakeside Monthly brings
to mind the earnest desire of Chicago
that Bret Harte, after he had left San
Francisco, and was en loute to the
East, should become the editor of that
magazine. The leading citizens of the
Northwestern metropolis prepared an
elaborate entertainment in honor of the
Culifornian author, and bade thereto
some of the most prominent people in
town. The hour for dinner was fixed
for eight o'clock. All the guests as
sembled except Ilarte. Fifteen minutes
passed, half an hour, three-quarters,
and still no Harto. A Jfeeling of un
easiness and awkwardness spread
through the company ; everybody won
dering and some asking, ' Where is
he?" "What has become of him?"
Nine o'clock came, and the host, sur
rendering all hope of his special guest,
invited his friends to the luxurious
board.
Under Harte's plate had been de
posited a check, payable to his order,
for $10,000, designed as an inducement
for him to remain in the Gardeu City
and undertake the conduct of the Lake
side. Not only did the humoiist not
appear on that occasion, he never even
gave any reason for his absenoe, nor
has he done so to this day. Many rea
sons have been given for "his failure to
keep the engagement, though none of
them are known to be true.
One thing, however, may be depended
on, if Harte had been aware that a
check for that amount had been await
ing him he would; unquestionably, have
been present. He has never been in a
condition, financial or temperamental,
to decline the offer of money, and he
must regret exceedingly, if consoious
of what he missed, that 'he stayed away
from an entertainment promising a re
sult so pecuniary.
The check was canceled and the gen
tlemen who had mado up the amount
were just so mueh better off in conse
quence of Bret's caprice.
There is something droll in the idea
of the brilliant raoonnteur depriving
himself of $10,000 when he might h ave
had it without the asking. He has the
reputation of being so perpetually em
barrassed lor lack of money that his re
membrance of that circumstance should
henceforth teach him the value of punc
tuality. Letter to the Boston Times.

OTPS! LIFE IS AMERICA.
The Story of Londo and Hli Wandering
BaTid.
Away off here in the romantio Welsh
mountains, overlooking the beautiful
valley of the Oonestoga, about 125
miles west of New York, says the New
York Sun, your correspondent has been
spending the day with a gypsy band.
The company is the largest tnnt ever
visited this section. Mira, the daugh
ter of the chief, is said to be the fairest
child of the forest in America, and
Londo, her father, ono of the most in
telligent of the family of Hemes, the
leader of the north of England tribes.
They are, comparatively speaking,
rich, and their sorcereRseB and fortune
tellers the most accomplished on the
continent.
I had a desire to know all about this
singular, strolling, vagabond, real gypsy
life in America, to learn the habits,
customs, rights, and religious ideas of
these tawny skinned people of the
woods, nnd I told Londo' the chief
of the tribe, what I desired. After he
had placed a camp stool at my service
he excused himself to make a horse
trade, and he sent his daughter, Mira,
to answer whatever questions the visi
tor might aBk. She is a beautiful gill.
Not tall, nor coarse-featured as her
mother, but medium iu height, com
pactly built, round, broad shoulders,
full chest, very regular features, very
black hair, black, dazzling eyes, and a
soft, pure olive skin. When she smiled
she showed a pretty set of teeth, and
when she spoke she did so modestly
and shyly. This was the fifteen year
old daughter of the captain. She was
born iu the woods of Yorkshire, Eng
land, and never slept a night in a house.
She was dressed in a pretty colored
calico gown. A sash of scarlet flannel
was about her waist, and a string of
pretty little shells formed a necklace
for her. A large, beautiful topaz in
heavy setting ornamented her left fore
finger, while several smaller gold rings
were on her rip-lit hurt rl. Sim lmV! hrnn.
lets, and carried a money pouch made
"i Buuntj BKin ai ner len side. Mur
slippers were of red morroco, and her
dress did not come down near as far as
those of city young misses do. She
said that her father was very busy, and
that if she could furnish the required
information she would be very happy
to do so. I asked her about fortune
telling.
She smiled and said, " Perhaps you
think that is about all the women folks
know, or at least that is the subject
thev are best informed nn " TTur r.nir.
lish was very good, nnd her judgment

fortune teller in America to-day ; at
least we thiuk so. Her mother w'as the
queen of the tribe in which she was
born, and mother cninfirl nil lmr lrnnwl.
edge from that source."
At this the mother came from one of
the tents near by and approached. She
was a tall, handsome woman, about
fifty years of age. Her gown was as
colored as the wild flowers the had
daintlv WOVen in her rlnrlr nnaran lioiv
She surveyed her visitor, then looked
inquiringly ac tne daughter, and then
spoke: "There is much to be learned
and much to be forgotten in this busy,
busy, weary life." Her name, she said,
was Deborah Heme, and she was born
in Spain. Her English was only toler
able. She wore a bone ring on the
third finger of her left hand. Under
the ring was a dried lizard's tail that
had been wound round the ring when
it was yet pliable. I asked her why
she wore them. Her reply was, "The
only person in this life I shall ever tell
will be little Mira," and she clasped the
beautiful gypsy girl in Jier arms, and
kissed her over and over again. These
gypsies have a blind love for their
children. Then the mother went away
and commenced playing with and toss-

and girls that were playing in a pile of
uuj uuu Kiruw on me ground, iuira
smiled and said, "Yes, mother fre

me all she knows some time or other.
She was told a great deal by grand
mother on her death bed. Probably I

she comes to die. Well, I hope I may
never know, and then she will always
be with us. We have five women folks
in our camp who tell fortunes. Four
of them are only ordinary folks wtio
deal with cards. They get twenty-live
and fifty cents from females, and one
dollar from the men. The reason
women are charged less is, they can't
afford it, for it is almost impossible for
a wife to smuggle a dollar from her
husband, whereas fifty cents or a quar
ter is not so difficult. All the money
made on fortune telling is put in the
general treasury It passes through
lather's hands, and then I get it."
Mira then reached back, caught hold
of her snake-skin satchel, and opened
it. Several hundred dollars thrown in
loosely were shown. "I'm father's
treasurer, and I pay out money when
he Bays I shall. But I do hate to part
with it when they lose on horse racing
bets. If I could break papa from that
bad habit, I should consider it a splen
did victory."
Londo then appeared and sat down.
He had finished business for the time,
and he handed his daughter a roll of
money and told her she might go to her
tent. The gypsy captain was a fine
looking, well-shaped man, standing
fully six feet, and weighing 230
pounds. He said his band consisted of
himself, wife, only daughter, four men
and their wives, and seventeen chil
dren, twenty-eight in all. They were
all related, and were of pure Heme
b ood. They came from England six
years ago, and since theu have been
leading a andering life in the woods
North and South. In the winter they
are in the woods of Florida and Ala
bama, and during summer they are
North. Pennsylvania is a favorite
State. The gypsy continued: " We do
more business in Pennsylvania than
anywhere else. The women here, gen
erally speaking, seem to have more
trouble than many others, hence the
fortune-telling business is brisker.
Everybody around here is ready to.
trade horses any time, and there is
always some money to be made by the
person knowing the most about a horse;
Sometimes we have as high as thirty
horses in hand, ranging in value from
$100 to $500. We have dogs, hogs,
four large tents, and one small one.
The women folks are all married to our
men, and my daughter Mira is the only
one not wedded.
She is fifteen years of age, and a
very smart girl, considering that she
never went to school in her life. None
of us can read or write ; but we don't
mind that. You see we do cash busi.
ness and don't need to keep books. We
don't need to write letters. News
papers have no oharm for ns. Our
little world is here, and all that is going
on in it we know. What the white
people do we don't mind as long as they
let us alone. We have onr laws and the
whites hare thairi. W ar ail cat
family. Moneys teoeived from what
ever source are given to the treasurer.
The men meet and decide whUt is to be
done with it, I then make the invest
ments. The golden rule is what we go
by. Every man's wife is his property
and shall be respeoted as such. We
have no domestio troubles. Occasion
ally we are blnraad for stealing and
maranding, but there is no truth in it.
We worship Ood in our own way, and
bolieve that He will care for ns in the
end. We live in tents iu tho woods
that we may bo nlwnys togother nnd be
our own bosses. We hate to be gov
erned by laws, and henoe prefer to be
free by living in the woods. Our boys
grow np to be the most expert horse
traders in the land. We put them to
work very early. First they learn to
lend a horse to water, then to feed him,
then to ride, then to clean, and then to
harness him. Following this, they are
tnugnt all the points about a horse, and
when they reach manhood they are
perfectly informed in the business. The
girls are taught fortune telling little
by little. Few ever become perfect.
My wife, Deborah, received her gifts
from her mother, who was a qneen in
her father's tribe. Mira will be equally
fortunate some time." '
In his own way Londo then told the
story of the gypsy tribe. What he
knew his father had told him. He had
received it from his grandfather. In
this way it had been handed down from
father to son. ne said their people
were to be found in Asia, Europe, and
America. Among the German popula
tion they are known as Zlguener, or, as
is more commonly pronounced iu this
section, "Zig-i-'ner," which literally
means wandering thieves from Zie'h
Qauner. They represent themselves
as being lineal descendants of the or
iginal tribe of Christian penitents who
in the early history of the world were
driven out of Egypt by tho Saracens.
Tradition has it that these banished
people had their ears pierced, from
which depended a ring of silver ; their
hair then, as now, was black and crispy,
and their women tall, erect, and fiery,
and wero scicivboesaud fortune tellers.
They scattered over Europe, increased
and multiplied, came over to America,
scathat now thero may be a half million
scattered over tho world. A greater
part lead their strolling lives in Europe,
pictures of which we get from " Guy
Mannering," "Trovatore," " Leah, the
Forsaken," and " Deborah." The true
gypsy language is the same that is
spoken entirely in Hindostan. They
are remarkable for their yellow, brown
or rather olive skins, their jet black
hair and eyes, and the extreme white
ness of their teeth. Many of the gypsy
girls in Spain are considered beauties.
Mira has Castilian features. They are
noted for the symmetry of their limbs.
They have much elasticity and quick
ness, and their looks indicate levity and
carelessness. The men are horse traders
and horse doctors, nnd tinkers willing
to mend all kinds of utensils. They
are passionately fond of lively music,
and many times they engage in danc
ing. The gypsy chief blew a shrill whistle
and a little tawney skinned fellow came
hopping to where we sat. Londo gave
orders for munc, and a gypsy man
came out with a guitar. Mira shortly
followed, and immediately commenced
dancing a wild, weird, fantastic fau
dnngo to the sweet notes of the guitar.
Then the children in the distance or
ganized a party of their own and in a
few moments the whole camp was
transformed into a ball room, with
mosses for a floor aud the emerald
archway of foliage above for a ceiling.
The beautiful girl was the idol of the
entire band. She was lithe as a cat,
and her dancing was graceful and in
teresting. The visitors contributed a
purse for the man of music, and the
dancers wero applauded. The gypsy
daughter then sang a beautiful Spanish
iong and chorus, and accompanied her
salc on the guitar. She sings and plays
wit!cnit notes, but the sound, though
crude and unfinished, is very pleasing
and m lodious. Then ehe danced and
sang and f layed all at the same time,
swinging round and round until the
very woods ec oed back the pleasant
strains. Aud when she had finished
her father kissed Ler and allowed her
to remain with us.
In answer to questions the chief gave
the following additional information.
They have no old people wid them ;
they have all been laid to rest under
the moss in the valley and wood. Gyp
sies bury their dead'in the woods they
die in. They have the profoundest re
spect and regard for the memory of
their departed friends. It is this feel
ing that keeps them from doing wrong.
They swear by their dead friends, and
call upon them to witness nny verbal
contract or agreement or declaration
they may choose to make.
The men folks use a great deal of to
bacoo. Mira smoked cigarettes, and she
offered her father's visitor a daintily
twisted paper cigar, which proved to be
very fragrant. They have no form of
religion. They argue that the Supreme
Being knows exactly what they want,
and if He sees fit He will give it to
them. They silently thank Him for all
they receive. Marriages are formed in
the rudest manner. The young gypsy
lover marries a lass when they are from
fifteen to 'sixteen years of age. None
but gypsies intermarry. If a husband
becomes tired of his wife he can cast
her off if he chooses, but this is very
seldom done. Their affliction for chil
dren is so strong that wives' and hus
bands' love are sure to follow. The
leading gypsy tribes in existence ure
the Stanleys, Lovells, Coopers, Smiths,
and the Hemes. The real gypsies in
this country are from the Heme and
Lovell families. There are about 300
real gypsies in the United States.
A Practical Joke.
A letter from Dubuque, Iowa, men
tions the arrival of a stranger from the
country in that town a few days ago,
and describes the result of his innocent
inquiry for direction to the Marshal's
office. He was directed to that officer's
headquarters, and told that if he did not
find the gentleman in to step into the next
room, and he would see a rope ; to pull
that, and the Marshal would respond.
He followed instructions to the letter,
and,, not finding the officer in his office,
the citizens were soon alarmed by the
clamorous ringing of the fire-bell.
Engine and. hose turned out as quickly
as possible, and posted to headquarters
to ascertain where the fire was looated,
and found the stranger there. The
firemen demanded where the fire was,
and, on his answering he knew of no
fire but wanted to see the Marshal, one
of the firemen was so irate that he
pitched into the stranger and gave him
a sound thrashing. The stranger at
once proceeded to a Justice's office to
take out a warrant for the assault', but
was informed that if he did the fireman
would bring suit for giving the false
alarm, which is liable to a 850 nne t so he
decided not to sue, and when last heard
from was looking for the man who told
him how to find the Marshal,

Land Leeches.
A traveler in Assam, Mr. T. T. Coop
er, describes as follows the laud leech
es which abound in the forests of that
country: "In length they are about
an inch, while their thickness does not
exceed that of an ordinary sewing
needle. Their mode of progression is
very curious. Fixing one extremity,
by means of its bell-shaped suckor,
firmly on a leaf or on the ground, the
leech curves itself into an arch, and the
other end is then odvanced till the
creature resembles a loop, again to ex
pand into an arch, but the movement is
quicker than words can describe ; the
rapidity with which they get over the
ground is quite startling. As they oc
casionally rear themselves perpendicu
larly and sway about from side to side,
takiug a survey round them in quest of
prey, the observer cannot fail to con
ceive a dread of the bloodthirsty little
creatures. I could never resist watch
ing them whenever I took a seat. At
hrst they would hold themselves erect,
then suddenly, as though they had just
discovered my whereabouts, they
would throw themselves forward, aud
with quick, eager strides, make toward
me. Another kind of leech found in
Assam is the hair leech, so called from
its great length and extreme tenuity. It
lies in wait iu the grass, and as animals
feed enters their nostrils and fixes itself
firmly in the interior, where it takes up
permanent quarters, causing the poor
beasts great irritation. It does not ap
pear to attack human beings."
The Assam land leech is not so for
midable a pest, hcvever, as the horse
leech of Ceylon. According to Sir
Emerson Tennent, the Ceylon land
leech is about an inob in length, and
as fine as a common knitting needle,
but capable of distention to the thick
ness of a quill, and a length of nearly
two inches. It can iusinuute itself
through the meshes of the finest stock
ing. It is always ready to assail a
passing traveler or quadruped. The
coffee planters are obliged to wear
" leech gaiters " of closely woven cloth
for protection. " On every twig aud
grass blade," says Wood, "tho laud
leeches sit, stretching out their loug
bodies toward the coming prey, aud
hastening after the traveler with dire
ful speed. Instinctively they make for
the unprotected parts. They crawl
rapidly up his clothes, they insinuate
themselves into his neck, his coat
sleeves, and his boots ; and wherever a
patch of bare skin can be found, there
a small colony of leeches is sure to
hang."
Guano. Acoording to the Panama
Star and Herald, the investigations by
Dr. Ruimondi of the guano deposits re
cently discovered on the main-land of
Peru have shown them to be of even a
better quality than those of the Chin-
oha Islands ; and as the estimate of the
amount is at least 8,000,000 tons, there
is little fear of the speedy exhaustion
of the resources of that enterorisinsr
republic. The common guano is now
worth fourteen ponnds sterling per ton
in foreign markets, and this new deposit
will probably bring twoor three pounds
more.

" The blood is the life." This is as true as
a mathematical or any other scientific proposi
tion, and one that should Influence every phy
sician, From the blood we derive our strength
and mental capabilities. When this source is
corrupted the painful and sorrow-producing
effects are visible in many shapes. From our
blood our systems are built np and kept in
repair. The strength of our constitutions and
our powers of endurance and the withstanding
of disease-producing agencies with impunity,
depend largely npon the condition in which
our blood is kept. If it holds in suspension or
solution vile fostering poisons, all organio
functions are weakened thereby. Settling
upon vital and important organs as the brain,
lung, liver and kidneys the effect of these
poisons in the blood is, many times, most dis
astrous. Hence, it behooves every one to keep
the blood in a perfectly healthy condition, aud
the more especially doeB this apply at this par
ticular season of the vear. When you purify
your blood to enre Salt Rheum or any Erysipe
las humor, you not only euro those diseases,
but you put your system in such an improved
condition that you aro not so liable to any
other disease. No matter what the external or
exciting caut-e may be, the real or direct cause
of a largo proportion of all chronic or lingering
diseases is bad blood. The multifarious forms
in which it manifests itself would form sub
jects upon which I might write volumes, But
as all the varied forms of disease which de
pend upon bad blood, a few of which I have
enumerated at the the head of this article, are
cured, or best treated, by Bnch medicineB as
t ike up from this fluid and excrete from the
system the noxious elements, it is not of prac
tical importance that I should describe each
minutely. For instance, medical authorities
describe about fifty varieties of skin disease,
but as they all require for their cure very
similar treatment, it is of no practical utility to
know just what name to apply to a certain
form of skin disease, so you know how best to
cure it. Then again, I might go on and de
scribe various kinds of Scrofulous Sores. Fovor
Sores, White Swellings, Enlarged Glands, and
Ulcers of varying appearance ; but as ajl these
various-appearing manifestations of bad blood
are cured by uniform means, I deem such a
combo necessary. Thoroughly cleanse the
blood, which is the great fountain of life, and
good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits,
vital Btrength. and soundness of constitution
will all roturn to us.
The Liver is the great depurating, or blood
cleansing organ of the system. Set Mb great
" house-Tteoper " of our health at wcik, and
the foul corruptions which gender iu tho blood
aud rot out, as it were, the machinery of life,
are gradually expelled from the system. For
this purpose my Golden Medical Discovery and
Purgative Pellets are pre-eminently the articles
needed. They cure every kind of humor,
(except Caucer) from the worst scrofula to
the common pimplo, blotch or eruption.
Great, eating ulcers kindly heal under their
mighty curative influence.
Enlarged Glands, Tumors and Swellings
dwindle away and disappear under the influ
ence of these great resolvents. The system
being put under their influence for a few
weeks, the skin becomes clear, smooth, soft
and velvety, and, being illuminated with the
glow of perfect health from within, true beauty
stands forth iu all its glory.
The effects of all medicines which operate
upon the system through the medium of the
blood are necessarily somewhat Blow, no mat
ter how good the remedy employed. The cure
of all these diseases, however, is with the use
of these most potent agents only o matter of
lime.
I do not wish to place my Golden Medical
Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent
nostrums by recommending it to cure every
disease, nor do I so recommend it ; on the
contrary, there are hundreds of diseases that I
acknowledge it will'not cure; but what I do
elaim is this, that there is but one form of
blood diseaso that it will not cure, and that
disease is cancer. I do not recommend my
discovery for that disease, yet I know it to be
the most searching blood cleanser yet discov
ered, aud that it will free the blood and sys
tem of all other known blood poisons, be tliey
auimal, vegetable or mineral. Blood medi
cines that are advertised to cure Cancer should
be looked upon with suspicion. They nevor
can do it.
Most medicines which are advertised as blood
purifiers aud liver medicines contain either
mercury, in some form or potassium, and
iodine variously combined. All of these agents
have a strong tendency to break down the
blood corpuscles, and debilitate aud otherwise
permanently injure the hnmau system, and
should, therefore, be discarded.
My Golden Medical Discovery, on the other
hand, being composed of fluid extracts of
native plants, barks and roots, will iu no case
produce injury, its effects being strengthening
and curative only. Sarsaparilla, which used to
enjoy quite a reputation as a blood purifier, is
a re-vedy of thirty years ago, and may well
give place, as it is doing, to the more positive
and valuable vegetable alteratives which later
medical investigation and discovery have
brought to light.
Both Discovery and Pellets are Bold bv all
first-class druggists in all parts of the world.
liOCTons couldn't help him.
John A. Wilson, Esq., Meigsville, Morgan
Co., O., writes : " When I was 12 or 15 years
of age. I took what is called King's Evil or
Scrofula, and by constaut doctoring, it would
neat m one place anu break out in another.
It also broke out in my left ear. I sent ten
miles for tho first bottlo of your Discovery,
which did me more good than all other medi
cines I over used. I am 28 years old, and doc
tored with five doctors ; not one of them
helped me so much as one bottle of your Dis
covery. I am well and able to do a good day's
work."
SALT nnKDM AND Ettl'PTIOXS CUBED.
Mrs. A. W. Williams, Claverack. Columbia
Co., N. Y., writes : " I had been afflicted with
Salt Rheum in its worst form for a great many
years, until 1 bought your Golden Medical Dis
covery and took two bottles aud a half, and
was entirely cured. From mv shoulder to my
bands, I was entirely covered with eruptions,
also on face and body. I was also allhcted
with Rheumatism, so that I walked only with
great uiluculty, and that is entirely cured.

J. M. Rohiuaon, West Grove Station, Iowa,
July 11, 1S72, writes : "My wife first became

July lu.lH73.no writes thus: " Mv wife
lias certainly received a great benefit from the
use of your great Disoovorv, for she was not
able to get off the bed, and was not expected
to live a week when she commenced using it, a

work for over six mouths. Has used twenty

considered as almost a miracle, and we attrib

Iron in the Blood
MAKES THE WEAK STRONG.
The Peruvian Syrxtp, a Protect
ed Solution of the Protoxide of
Iron, is so combined as to have
the character of an aliment, as
easily digested and assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It increases the quantity
of Nature's Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures "a thousand ills," simply
by Toning up, Invigorating and
Vitalizing the System. The en
riched and vitalized blood per
meates every part of the body,
repairing damages and waste,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and leaving nothing fot
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the won
derful success of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plaint. Dropsy, Chronic Diar
rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills and Fevers, Humors,
Loss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of tho Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and all diseases orle-ting in
a bad state of the buij or ac
companied by debility or a low
state of the system. Being free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects are not fol
lowed by corresponding reac
tion, but are permanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, and new
life into all parts of the system,
and building up an Iron Con
stitution. Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly, suffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, and
happy men and women ; and
invalids cannot reasonably hes
itate to give it a triaU . i
