To Ebmovb Miidett. To remove
mildew, make a very weak solution of
chlorido of lime in ater about a
heaping teaspoonful to a quart of water;
strain it onrcfully, and dip the spot of
the garment into it, and, if the mildew
does not disappear immediately, lay it
in the sun for a few minutes, or dip it
again into the lime water. The work ia
effectually and speedily done, and the
chloride of lime neither rots the cloth
nor removes delicate colors when suffi
ciently diluted, and the artiole rinsed
afterward in clear water.
How to Do Tjp Shirt Bosoms. Take
two ounces of fine white gum arabio
powder, put it in a pitcher and pour on
a pint or more of boiling water, accord
ing to the strength yon desire, and
then, having covered it, let it stand all
night. In the morning, pour it care
fully from the dregs into a clean bottle,
cork and keep it for use. A table
spoonful of gum water stirred in a pint
of starch, made in the usual manner,
will give to lawn, either white or print
ed, a look of newness, when nothing
else can reutore them after they have
been washed.
French Brbad. Take clean rice,
three-fourths of a pound ; tie it up in
a thick linen bag, giving it room to
swell ; boil from three to four hours,
till it becomes a perfect paste ; mix,
whila warm, with seven pounds of
flour, adding yeast, salt and water.
Allow the dough to work a proper time
near the fire, then divide it into loaves,
dust them in and knead vigorously.
This quantity will make thirteen ponnds
and seven ounces of excellent bread.
To Polish Brass. Rub the metal
with rotten stone and sweet oil, then
rub off with a piece of cotton flannel
and polish with soft leather. A solu
tion of oxalic acid rubbed over tarnish
ed brass soon removes the tarnish, ren
dering the metal bright. The aoid
must be washed off with water and the
brass rubbed with whiting and soft
leather. A mixture of
and alum dissolved in water imparts a
gomeu coior 10 Drass articles that are
steeped m it for a few seconds.
Apple Bread. Weigh one pound of
fresh, juicy apples; peel, core and
stew them into a pulp, being careful to
use a porcelain kettle or a stone jar
placed inside a kettle of boiling water ;
mix the niiln with tvn mnnila nf hs
best flour ; put in the same quantity of

loaves, anu oaue in a quicK oven.
Our Cellar.
All the refuse of a house is stored in
its cellar, therofore look to vour cellars
occasionally. Old boxes, bins and bar
rels, which have contained vegetable
matter, meat, fish, etc., need thorough
overhauling. It is not that standing in
a dark corner, they look empty ; there

A Top Dressing.
In top dressing how much manure is
necessary to the acre? asks a corre
spondent. Our general practice ha
been to spread on from 10 to 15 ox
loads, it depending somewhat upon the
quantity of manure and the size of the
iuuuB. no are Deginning, nowever, to
entertain the opinion that a less quan
tity applied often er would be more
beneficial, because only a limited
amount of plant-food can be made avail
able each year, and what is beyond the
capacity of any plant or plants to take
up and assimilate to itself, must to
some extent at least be wasted. This
is more especially true when the op
plication has been very liberal. The
soil would undoubtedlv be enriched.

crops ; still some portions of it would
bo washed away and some carried too
far downward to be of use and the risk
altogether too great. A surer and
safer plan would be to apply less, and
more frequently.
The Comet Scare.
Apropos of the comet, a storv is re
lated in regard to the dread with which
comets were regarded 150 years ago. A
renowned astrologer predicted that a
comet would appear on Wednesdav. Or
tober 14, 1712, and that the world would
be destroyed by nre on the Friday fol
lowing. His reputation was high, and
the comet appeared. A number of per
sons got into ' boats and barges on the
Thames, thinking the water the safest
place. South Sea and India stock fell.
A captain of a Dutch ship threw all his
powder into the river, that the ship
might not be endangered. At noon,
nf ter the comet had appeared, it is said
that more than a hundred clergymen
were ferried over to Lambeth to re
quest that the proper prayers might be
prepared, there being none in the Church
service. People believed that the day
of judgment was at hand, and some
acted on that belief, sure that some
temporary evil was to be expected.
There was a prodigious run on the
bank, and Sir Gilbert Heathcote, at that
time the head director, issued orders to
all the fire offices in London, requesting
them to keep a good look out, and have
a particular eye upon the Bank of Erg
land.
lion Near,
Almost everybody knows that Max
Strakosch, the opera manager, had a
hard time of it at the start, but few
know how near he was to a suspension
of performances. One day he looked
over his books and found himself $42,
000 out of pocket, with 87 and two
luoif er matohes left. He departed with
this pleasant information to the Elysian
Fields in Hoboken, and tramped up
and tramped down in that cheer
ful neighborhood, almost insane. His
hands came on those two luicifer
matches, and he broke eaoh into three
?ieoes. " Odd and I suspend, even and
go on," and up went the little sticks
of fate. He caught two, went back to
the Academy of Music, and came out
ahead at the end of the season.
Glanders.
The diseases of animals oommunioa
ble to men, says the London Sanitary
Record, are a group especially interest
lag to sanitary authorities. The evi
dence we have reoently had as the prev
alanoe of rabbies and glanders two of
the moBt horrible maladies known
renders this subject more than usually
interesting just now. Originating in
man solely by contagion from animals,
they are perfectly preventable, but the
prevention must be directed to stamp
ing them out in the lower animals.
This course is suggested, not only by
humanity, but by economy, as it is be
yond dispute that a saving in money
and animul life follows the thorough
stamping out of purely contagious dis
eases in this kingdom. The report of
the Veterinary Department of the
Privy Oounoil Office, shows that glan
ders increase every year, and further,
confesses that the official returns are
far from giving a true indication of the
number of cases. In London it is very
widely spread, and some of the Durham
oollieries seemed to have suffered
frightfully. On one of them a miner
has suooumbed to the disease, having
been inooulated by washing his hands
in a cistern at which an affected animal
had drunk. If the disease be allowed
to continue unchecked we shall certain
ly hear of the loss of more human life.
Sanitary officials should use their in
fluence with local authorities to have
tho regnlations of the Contagious Dis
eases (animals) aot strictly enforced.
By an Order of Council dated June
30, 1873, farcy and glanders are subject
to the same regulations, and the local
authorities may prohibit the movement
of any horse that is glandcred, or that
has been in the same field, stable, shod,
or other premises with a horse affected
with glanders or farcy. This order
thoroughly carried out would soon have
a beneficial effect, but it does not tonch
the case of glanders in a private stable.
If an inspector knew of the existence
of twenty glnndered horsas, he can only
wait until they are brought into tho
street. He may suspect the disease,
and he cannot stop other horses from
leaving the infected stable to be sold
into healthy studs. Much good may be
done by existing regulations, if en
forced, but until the inspector be armed
with powers cf entry into suspected
premises glanders will remain and hu
man beings be liable to a loathsome
death. Glandered horses, wherever
found, in publio streets or on private
premises, should be subject to com
pulsory slaughter, and the inspectors
intrusted with these measures should
be qualified veterinary surgeons.
The Fall Trade Promise.
New York, says the Express, is be
ginning to be lively among the mer
chants, and the influx of business men
from the West and South is a eood
augury for a fall trade which is to be
gin early. The thermometer which
tells the temperature of trade is the
hotel, and the increase in the number
of arrivals whioh may be noted is fair
evidence that the buyers of goods are
looking about for their purchases. The
condition of the crops is bad in some
districts but in the localities where
the drought or the insects have not been
largely felt the average crop will be
reached, while in the more fortunate
places the yield promises to exceed
that of previous years.
Balancing these ohances, then, the
expressions of the "strangers who
tramo in our midst is encouragingly
pleasant. They have confidence in the
fall trade elsewhere, aud are preparing
for the movement of capital consequent
upon crop sales, and are shopping
around with more diligence than usual.
There is a close-buying tendency this
year.wnicn shows caution in their in
vestments, and has a tendency to keep
etanaaru goods to a uniform price ; and
tho system of time purchases is taken
advantage of by many of the heaviest
buyers in claiming the privilege of
short paper transactions. The commis
sion houses dependent upon the East
ern mills are making heavy sales, and
the demands of the manufacturers for
their advances show that their contracts
for raw material are very heavy. But
one step is necessary to secure a fair
trade, and that step should be taken
by the manufacturers and merchants
themselves the regulation of prices so
that a fair profit may be made, and the
shortening of credits as the basis of
quick sales and quick settlements may
render the general trade more healthy,
and can scarcely be a detriment to the
buyer, when the advantage in reduction
of price is a fair compensation for the
eany payment.
Horrible and Slow Suttee.
Everybody knows something about
the snttee, that act of Brahminese su
perstition by which East Indian widows
think it their duty to be burned upon
the funeral pyre which has consumed
their dead husbands' remains. The
British authorities have not been able,
in spite of all their efforts, to eradicate
completely that barbarous custom,
which is still, at present, often prac
ticed, especially in remote villages of
Central Asia and Bajpootna. Ten years
imprisonment (and a fine of 200 rupees
on his village), were lately imposed on
a money lender in Bikanir, who had al
lowed the anoient rite to be performed
in his family. But Hindoos believe
strongly in metempsychosis, and they
ore always spurred by the hope of ris-ing-to
a higher state of existence after
death, which they expect to obtain by
a strict adherence to Brahminese cus
toms. Therefore, in order to avoid as
much as possible, the vigilance of Brit
ish authorities, they have recourse to a
most horrible and very slow manner of
practicing their suttee ceremonies. At
present, the general practice in such
cases appears to be that, after the fu
neral pyre has been left more or less
burnt down, the widow should slip
away from her house, perhaps under
pretence of going for the customary pu
rification by bathing after a death in
the family, and seat herself on the
smouldering heap,. If the fire has burnt
too low to consume her, it is enough to
ignite her clothes and lead to her death.
then or afterward, from the burns in
flicted, unless she is discovered and
resoued immediately, as sometimes
happens. More often, perhaps, some
members of the family, .on coming up
and finding the widow already scorched,
will leave her where she is, adding fuel
if necessary to the fire, in order to com
plete an aot whioh he may still regard
as a religious duty.
All Right. At Vicksburg, during
the election campaign, a white soldier,
whose face had been blown full of
powder, was charged with the offence
of being a negro. Ho could only rein
state himself in favor by publishing
certificates of white people of undoubt
ed character, that by nature he was
white, but by accident was made a
colored man. This was considered
satisfactory, and he obtained the rec
ognition which he had the right to demand.
Family Government,
What ought, what can a mother do,
when a good, pleasant, careless hus
band constantly thwarts all her efforts
to teaoh or govern the children, and
yet cannot bo made to see or feel what
he is doing ?
Let us illustrate and sketch from
memory, not imagination :
" Mamma, please give me a piece of
pie ?"
" No, darling, one piece is enough."
"Half apieoe, please, mamma?"
"No, Freddie, no more."
A very little pieoe, mamma, dear ?"
" No, Freddie, no."
" Do give the child a little piece I I'll
risk its hurting him."
And the mother gave it.
" Mamma, may I go out and play ?"
"It's very chilly, and you have a
cold ; I don't think it is best."
" Bnndle me up warm, mamma, and
I won't take cold."
" I fear you will ; yon must play in
doors to-day."
" Just a little while, please, mam
ma?" " No, Freddie, you must not go out
to-day."
" Do let the ohild go out 1 What a
girl you are making of him 1 Women
never were fitted to bring up boys.
Dress him up warm and let him run ;
it will do him good."
And Freddie went out.
" May I have my blocks in the par
lor, mamma ?"
" No, Willie, make your block-house
in the dining-room. Miss L. is an in
valid, and I want the parlor very
quiet."
"I'll be very quiet."
" You will intend to be, but jou can
not help making some noise ; and as
Miss L. very rarely goes anywhere, I
fear she will be very tired at best ; so
be a very good little boy, and play in
the dining-room this afternoon."
" I won't make a bit of noiee, nor tire
her one speck."
"You must play in the dining-room,
Willie, and not say any more about it."
" Nonsense ; it will do her good to
see a happy littlo face ; it will give her
something besides her own pains and
aches to think of. Let him bring his
blocks in the parlor."
And he brought them in.
" What a torment that boy has got
to be I It's teaze, teaze, teaze, from
morniiig till night. It's enough to
wear the patience out of Job 1 If you
won't whip him, I will."
And he whipped him.
Query Who ought to be whipped ?
Two Rich Men,
A New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes : " The chief
holder of personal estate in this city
is Commodore Vanderbilt, who is esti
mated at $40,000,000, the largest part
of which is in railway property. He
owns enough of the Cce large river
and New Haven roads to be a director
in each, and he also owns the control
ling interest in the Central, Hudson,
and Lake Shore, besides his stock in
Ohio and Mississippi, and other im
portant roads. It was said of Oeorge
t'eabody that he made almost the en
tire bulk of his enormous wealth after
his fiftieth year. I think a stronger
statement can be made of the Commo
dore, for he made the largest part of
nis money since he was sixty that is,
with the last score of years. I sup
pose that when the war broke out ho
was not worth five millions. Tho in
cessant and enormous increase of rail
road values and the colossal extent of
his operations have brought an increase
so stupendous as to remind us of the
old stories of Oriental magic. The
only instance in which real aud per'
sonai estate is combined almost equally
in the vast possessions of one individ
ual is found in A. T. Stewart. He
owns enough in each of these shapes
of wealth to make a dozen men rich.
In point of real estate he has two
great dry goods establishments on
Broadway; also the Metropolitan
Hotel, and the lormer unitariau church.
Add to these the Baptist church in
Amity street, now used as the stables
of his business teams, the Depeau row.
in Bleecker street, and above all, his
num avenue palace, which cost 81.
000,000. In personal estate is his stock
in trade, capital and bills receivable.
which must be 810,000,000, and also a
large quantity of bank stock. In this
manner Stewart wields both classes of
property. He has differed entirely
from Vanderbilt in this point. The
latter has invested almost solely in rail
way stocks, while the former has
eschewed this form of property in a
very peculiar manner, lie has a strong
affinity for those things whioh pertain
to trade and to this alone. It is said
his estates can not be less than $30,
000,000.
The Suicidal Mania.
Says the New York Tribune : A few
words of advice to people contemplating
suicide. In the first place don't. In
the second place, if you insist upon it.
take yourself off with as little display
and as much regard for other people's
feelings as possible. Don't write cruel
and mawkish letters which can only
wring the hearts of those you leave be
hind you. Beraember that it is not at
all an honorable or a heroio thing to
tnke your own life, and that while
it may require a certain degree of am
mal courage, it is courage of the baser
sort. .Dismiss from your mind all an
ticipation of the sensation your exit is
to create and the talk there will be
about it in the newspapers. You will
not be here to witness the commotion
you make, if there is any, and in the
land where you stand a chance of going
there are no newspapers. If you per
sist in going about, tired of life and
complaining that nobody loves you,
your best way of managing the final
catastrophe will be to make it appear
that somebody got desperate at your
nonsense and drowned you in self
defense, or disposed of you in some
way with any convenient fire-arm. If
you are sincere in your wish to ford the
Styx, this will accomplish your purpose,
and the effect on the publio mind will
be much healthier than if you had paid
epistolary farewells to all the world and
shuffled on alter the stereotyped
fashion.
A Monster. What might have been
a very unoomfortable monster, but
turned out a dead one. was born at
Grayville, 111., recently. It was a girl
having a complex body, in which were
one head, four ears, two noses, one
month, four arms and four legs, two
spinal columns, two brains in one skull,
one stomach, two livers, three kidneys,
and one alimentary canal. Had the
monster lived, it would have been a
greater curiosity than were the Siamese
twins, but as it is, one doctor has dis
sected and given an account of it to the
world.
An editor at a dinner party, being
asked if he would have some pudding,
replied, in a fit of abstraction : " Ow
ing to the press of more important mat
ter, we are unable to find room for it."
An Unsuccessful Life.
John W. Fitch, who committed sui
cide in New York, was a man of a vast
experience, and was well known in all
the principal cities of the Union. Ho
was an intimate friend ot the Hon,
Simon Cameron. Col. Thomas A. Soott.
J. Edgar Thompson, and many of the
Soiiticai magnates of rennsyivania and
ew York. He was born in Viotor,
Ontario county, N. Y., in 1817, and
wuen imrtcen years oi age was appren
ticed to a bookbinder. After learning
his trade he went to Harr'sburg, and
there became the State bookbinder.
He purchased a livery ptable in that
city, and was noted for having the best
horses in Pennsylvania. He had a
superior knowledge of horseflesh, and
gained a national reputation as a horse
man. He purchased horses for Van
Amburgh, Lent, and other showmen,
and it is said had no equal in the se
lection of first-class animals. He made
a fortune in the livery stable business,
and in 1813 went to Philadelphia.
There his fortune began to dwindle
away. He purchased a lino of stages
which ho managed for two years, but
lost money rapidly. In 1852 at the
Portage bridge celebration, he and
Mossrs. Laninan and Waters were
given the contract to construct a rail
road from Niagara Falls to Lewiston.
They completed the road, but in the
enterprise Fitch became bankrupt. Af
ter the contract was taken the Buffalo
and Niagara Falls Railroad was consoli
dated with the New York Central and
there was some difficulty about the pay
ment for the construction of the road
whioh Fitch and his partners had con
tracted to build. He brought suit
against the company and wasted thou
sands of dollars in useless litigation.
In 1859 he and Seymour and Gaffnoy
constructed the yashington water
works, laid all the mains, and built the
distributing reservoir at Georgetown,
and Fitch again found himself out of
Eocket. From 18G0 up to the past year
e was not ia business. Once in a
while he engaged in small speculation!!,
and was invariably unsuccessful. He
had numerous claims against corpora
tions and individuals, and hoped to
realize something from them. There
were many who thought that for
tune would turn for him, but at length
they began to shun him. He lost his
friends one by one and life became, a
burden to him. He had a wife but no
children, and lived in scantily furnished
apartments in Fifty-third street. Un
able to borrow any money he resolved
to drown himself, and he did. His
relatives, of whom they are very few,
knew nothing of his straitened circum
stances, as he never appealed to them
for assistance.
The Bliss of Marriage.
Time whirls us along the downhill
path of life with the velocity of a loco
motive ; but wo have one comfort wo
can make love on the road. What the
negro preacher said of Satan may be
said of love : " Where he finds a weaker
place dere he creeps in." There is a
warm corner even in the coldest heart ;
and somebody, if that somebody can
only be found, was made expressly to
fill it. Thousands of both sexes live
and die unmarried simply for want of a
proper introduction to one another.
What an absurdity I There is not a
woman or a man of any age who might
not find a suitable partner by using the
proper means. The fact is, that affec
tion is smothered, choked down, sub
dued, and paralyzed by the forms and
conventionalities of this etiquettish
world. " Society " attaches a ball and
chain to tho natural feelings of the
heart. The fair girl with her bosom
running over with the purest love for a
worthy object must take as much pains
to conceal the fact as if it were a deadly
sin, and Heaven had not implanted
within our bosoms the tender spark and
bade us " to love and be loved." Is
this natural ? No, it is artificial. Why
should innumerable marriages be pre
vented by chilling rules and penalties ?
Nature is modest, but she is not a
starched up prude. .Look at the birdp.
There are no old bachelors and old
maids among them. The hearts that
flutterundertheir feather jackets follow
the instinct of love, and they take to
billing and cooing without the slightest
idea that courtship should be a formal
affair. Why should there be forlorn
bachelors olid disappointed old mauls,
and lonely widows and widowers among
the unfeathered any more than the
feathered bipeds? Oceans of happi
ness are lost to both sexes every year,
simply because parties who wish to be
married are not permitted by etiquette
to make the fact known. These unfor
tunates might very properly say to tho
happy married folks, as the frogs said
to the boys who were pelting them with
stones, "This may be fun for you, but
'tis death to us." Hebrew Leader.
A Colorado Romance.
Somebody, says the Denver News,
has revived the stories told by James
Bridger, who is, next to Kit Carson, the
pioneer trapper of all that section cf
the country. One of his favorite
stories was that in the year 1830 he
was wintering in Salt Lake Valley,
when it began to snow, and continued
seventy successive days, till a depth of
seventy feet was obtained. The coun
try at that time abounded in buffalo
and other large game, all of which per
ished in the snow. The lakes and riv
ers the following spring were so full of
dead game, preserved in good condi
tion in tho cold, that he was able to
stow up a large stock of meat for the
next winter's supply, using the brine
of Salt Lake for the purpose. He con
cluded this tale by declaring that since
that storm no buffalo had ever been
seen west of the Bocky Mountains. He
was also fond' of declaring that
" Bridger's Butte," a table mountain
named after him, had "steered
around " to the north since he first saw
it, and that he had told General John
son so, who, after consulting his text
books, acknowledged that he was
right.
How to Filter Water.
Professor Bischof, of Glasgow, is re
ported to have improved his well-known
invention, and now filters water for
drinking purposes through spongy
iron and pounded limestone. The iron
is placed in the upper movable chamber
of an earthenware filter, and pounded
limestone is arranged in a separate
layer below. The iron is procured in a
powdery, spongy state by the reduction
of an ore without fusion, after the ex
traction of copper and sulphur by
heat. It removes all albuminoid and
nitrogenized compounds, and also lead
contaminations from the water, and a
trace of iaon taken up by the water is
separated by its subsequent passage
through the limestone. It is stated
that one charge of the material thus
described, and costing only about
twenty-five cents, seoures effloient filter
ing for ten gallons of water per day
during 200 days.
Combination sashes are the newest.
They are of three or four different
colored silks, and have a deep fringe
with blending shades. Th3 oorreot
style is to tie them on the side in a very

of these new sashes en, Flora looks

Treating the Wrong Disease.
Many times Women call upon their family
phyBiciaua, one with dyspepsia, another with
palpitation, another with trouble of the breast,
another with pain here and there, and In this
way they all present alike to themselves and
their easy-going and indifferent doctors,
separate and distinct diseases, for which be
prescribes his pills and potions, assnming them
to be such, when, in reality, they are all
symptoms caused by some uterine disorder;
aud while they are thus only able perhaps to
palliate for a time, they are ignorant of the
cause, and encouraee their practice until larere
bills are made, when the suffering patients are
no better in the end, but probably worse for
the delay, treatment, and other complications
made, and which a proper medicine directed to
the cause would have entirely removed, there
by instituting health and comfort instead of
prolonged misery.

Dr. J. Walker's taliiorma in
Cffar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the na
tive herbs found on the lower ranges or
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of wiilca
are extracted therefrom without the i9
of Alcohol. Tho question 19 almost!
daily asked, "What is tho causo of th
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit
Iers ?" Our answer is, that they remov
the causo of disease, and tho patient re
covers his health. They are tho great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Kcnovator and luvigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history cf tho world has a medicine been,
compounded possessing tho remarkable
qualities of Vinkqab IIitteus in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to.' They
are a gentle rurpativn as well a3 a Tonio,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation ot r
the Liver and "Visceral Organs, in JJihouf
Diseases.
Tho properties of Dn. Waikek's
Tinkoah Bittkrs aro Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diurtto,
Sedative, Count.ir-Irritaut, Sudurilic, Altoi.
kive. and Anti-Hilioui..
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vdt-
EGAB Bittees tho most wonderful In
vigorant that ever sustained th sinking
system.
No Tcrson can talco these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones aro not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious, Remittent and Inter
mittent Fevers, which aro bo preva
lent in tho valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Ked, Colorado, Brazos, llio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, Jamc3, and many others, witb.
their vast tributaries, throughout our
tntiro country during tho Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, aro
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of tho stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influenco upon theso various or
gans, is essentially necessary, incro
is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to
Dr.. J. YValkeii's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily rcniovo tho da.rk
colored viscid matter with which tho
bowels aro loaded, at tho same timo
stimulating tho secretions of tho liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of tho digestivo organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its lluids with Vinegar
Bitters. No epidemic can tako hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or indigestion, neaa-
ache, Pain in tho Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eractations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attai ks, Palpita
tation of tho Heart, Inflammation of tho
Lungs, Pain in tho region of tho Kid
neys, aud a hundred other painful symp
toms, aro tho offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will provo a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise
ment. Scrofula, or Kind's Evil, white
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Kruptions of tho Skin, Soro Kye, etc.
In those, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walker's Vinegar Birrats hava
shown their great curativo powers in tho
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Kcmit
tent and Intermittent Fovors, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and I! ladder,
theso Bitters havo no equal. Such Diseases
are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons en
gaged in Paints aud Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Typo-setters, Gold-boators, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralysis of tho. Bowels. To guard
against this, tako a doso of Walker's Vin
egar Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet
ter, Salt-Khenm, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,.
rustulcs, lions, uarlmucies, Kmg-worma,
Scald-head, Soro Byes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, ara literally dug up and carried
out of the system in a short time by tho use
of theso Hitters.
Pin, Tape, and other "Worms,
lurking in tho system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. .No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an
tholmiuitlcs will fico the system from worms
like theso Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or singlo, at the dawn of wo
m anu ooo, or tho turn of life, theso Tonio
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting throu
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sort',
cleanse it when you find it obstructed anu
sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it ia
foul ; your feelings will toll you when. Keep
the blood pure, and tho health of tho system
will follow.
