JK. JOHNSTON,
HOSl'ITAE
Physician of this cclclirated Institution, lias
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
ehVctual remedy in the world for nil
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness ot the Back or Limbs. Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, lnvolun
tary Discharges, Impotency, General Debili
tv, Nervousness, Dvspepsv, Lauguor, Low
Spirits, Confasion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart. Timidity. Tremblings, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head,
Throat, Nose or Skin. Affections of Liver, Lungs,
Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, fcc-, impos
sible.
IOUNG MEN
especially, who have become tbe victims of Soil
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave,
thousands of young men ef the most exalted
talents and brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ccstacy the
living lyre, ma; call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Toung Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical- eaknees, (Loss
of Procreative rower Impotency), Nervous Ex-
ritabitity, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
iiiav religiously confide in his honor as a gentle
man, aud confidently rely unon his skill as a Phy
sician.
OCGANIC WEAKNESS.
Imjiotcucy, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full icor Restored.
Thi6 Distressing Affection Which renders Lite
miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences,
Young persons are too apt to commit execsxes
from not beingawarc of the dreadful conscqeuces
that may ensue. ow, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent I Besides
tn iiig deprived the pleasures of healthy ouspriug,
t be most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The t vstem becomes de-
ringed, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption. Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trifling month after month,
taking jhiisoiious aud injurious compounds,
should apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Coi'eges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose ife has been seiit in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing iu tbe head and cars when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with deraugemcnt of mind, were cured
immediately.
. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body uud mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. Thchb are some of tbe sad and melancholy
effects prodnced by early habits of youth, viz:
' Weakuess of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
oumption, fcc.
Mektally The fearful effects on the mind
arc much to be dreaded Loss, of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, - Evil
Forebodings, Avcrsiou to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac., are some of the
evils produced.
T not sands of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
loeiug their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular apiearanee
alout the eyes, cough and symptoms ol consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have injured th m selves by a certain prac
tice iudulged in when alone, a uubit frequently
learned from evil companion, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling f his parents, should be
enalcbei froin all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such liersons lT before couteiuolatiug
CARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the wind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blirhted with ourown.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprndeut votary or
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this paiufnl disease, it too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
wins in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones aud arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
iu, and tbe victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadrul suffering, by sending
"him to " that Undiscovered Couutrv from wheuce
tio traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mereary, Ac., destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restured
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
bis galling disapiointmenl.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, aud
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospital of Europe, and the first ir.
this couutrv, viz : England, Fraucc, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the moct cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

THE MONEYLESS MAX.
This beautiful poem was composed years ago
by Henry Stanton, Maysvillc, Ky. Such gems
of poetry arc not often met with, written by
authors whose names ore never known in his
tory. Is there no place on the face of the earth
Where charity dwelleth, where virtue has birth?
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness will hove,
And the poor aud the wretched shall ask and re
ceive ?
Is there no place ou earth where a knock from
the poor
Will bring a kind angel to open the door 1
Ah ! search the wide world wherever you can,
There is no open door for the moneyless man !
Go look in the hull, where the chandelier light
Drives off with its splendor the darkness of night;
Where the rich hanging velvet, iu 6hadowy fold,
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimming of
gold,
And the mirrors of silver take up and renew
In long lighted vistas the 'wildcring view ;
Go there iu your patches, and find if you can
A welcoming smile, for the moneyless man !
Go look in yon church of the cloud-reaching
spire,
Which gives back to the sun his same look of red
fire ;
Where the arches uud columns arc gorgeous
within,
And the walls seem as pure as a soul without
sin ;
Go down the long aisle sec the rich and the
great.
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate;
Walk down in your patches nud find if you can,
Who opeus a pew for a moneyless ma a.
Go look to your judge in dark flowing gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth quietly
down ;
Where he frowns on the weak and smiles on the
strong,
And pushes right while he justifies wrong ;
Where jurors their liB on the Bible have laid.
To render a verdict they've already mode ;
Go there iu the court room, and find if you can,
Any law for the cause of a moneyless mau.
Go look in tbe banks, where Mammon has told
His hundred and thousands of silver and gold ;
Where, safe fiom the hands of the starving and
poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore ;
Walk up to the counter nh, there you may stay
Till your liinbs grow old and your hairs turn
gray
And you'll find at the bank not one of the clan
With money to lend a moneyless m.-ju.
Theu go to your hovel no ravau has fed
The wife who has suffered so long for her bread
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty lost
Then turn in your agony upward to God
And bless while it smites you with the chasten

Aud you'll find r.t the end of your life's little

There's a welcome above for the moneyless man.
THE MODERN RLTII.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "C0BVE11S," ETC.
It was a terrible break-up. The loving
busbaud, the tender father bad gone to his
rest, and now Ruth and her mother had to
face the world alone.
Nor was this all. Mr. Hunter had been
generally considered one of the wealthiest
farmers in the neighborhood, bul he was
now found to have died insolvent For
years he had been living beyond his means.
I told you so,' said one of the wiseacres,
'when he sent his darter to school in Bos
ton, as if the schools here warn't good
enough ; I knew how it would be.' The
farm was mortgaged for its entire value,
and was immediately foreclosed ; and when
the other debts were paid, there was not a
dollar left.
Ruth and her mother would have had ho
roof even to shelter them, if Ruth had not
inherited, from a maiden aunt, a little,
tumble-down cottage, with an acre or two
of pasture land, on the outskirts of the vil
lage. Thither the two mourners repaired,
with the few bits of furniture the law al
lowed them, and began the hardest of all
struggles, the battle with poverty on the
part of woman, a battle rendered the more
difficult in this case, because both had been
tenderly, even luxuriously nurtured, and
had never before knowu what it was to
have to deny themselves.
'1 am such a burdeu to you, Ruth,'
moaned the widow, who was now com
pletely broken down, not only iu fepirits,
but in health also. 'If it wasn't for me,
you could go off somewhere and earn your
living liko a lady. You could teach music,
or be a governess, or obtaiu a situation in
a school. But while I'm an invalid, and
I suppose I shall now always be one, you
are tied to my bed-side."
Ruth was of a different character from
her mother. She was more energetic, more
self-reliant, more heroic. She had also the
courage of youth on her side.
'(5od will provide,' she said. 'He helps
those who help themselves, What with
my needle, our cow, and the vegetable
garden I shall make, we will get along fa
mously.' So this refined, cultivated girl, who had
been reared, as it were, amid rose-leaves,
went to work, uncomplainingly, to support
her mother and herself. For awhile, too,
it seemed as if her confidence was prophet
ic. Mrs. Hunter recovered her health so
as to be able to be about. Everything
went well. At the eud of the first summer
Ruth, proudly counting up her gains, said,
'Mother, dear, we have not only supported
ourselves, but we have saved money ; we
are getting rich.'
But, alas ! different times came. In the
autumn, Mrs. Hunter full ill of rheumatic
fever, for the situation of the cottage was
low and damp. She had to take to her bed
again. She was no longer able to help
Ruth with her needle. Poor Ruth could
now earn but little herself, her time being
occupied so much in nursing her mother.
The doctor's bill and the medicines soon
absorbed her small savings. She "began to
fall behind. The cow, finally had to be
sold, and at last, in order to avert absolute
starvation, Ruth was compelled to mort
gage the cottage.
In the two year that followed, matters
went from bad to worse. Mrs. Hunter
still remained bed-riden. Do all she could,
Ruth was unable to make both ends meet.
The interest on the mortgage fell into ar
rears. Lawyer Dent, who represented the
holder, began to clamor for the arrears.
At last, in the third summer of Ruth's
orphanage, came a legal notice, that unless
the interest was paid up, in full, the cot
tage would be sold.
The day before this notice was served,
Ruth had gone in person to lawyer Dent,
hoping to touch hi heart. But he was deaf
to her tears and representations. He had
the reputation of being merciless, and Ruth
saw now that the character was deserved
'It's no use your coming here,' he said
rudely, 'I am acting for others and not for
myself; you'd better spend your time iu
gettiug together, the interest you owe. I
can't interfere. IJrin" me the money, or
the law must take its course.'
When Mrs. Hunler heard the result of
this interview, aud when afterward the
formal notice was served, she moaned fee
bly and turned her face to the wall. 'We
shall have to beg, or go to the poor-house,
or die on the road,' she said. 'Oh ! that
I should ever have lived to see this day.'
Ruth, herself was at the end of her re
sources, i or awhile, sne lay prostrate on
the bed, where she had flung herself beside
her mother, the two mingling their tears.
But the brave girl rallied at last. She re
membered that there was nothing in the
house to eat, and that she had no money
to buy anything with. At first, she
thought of going to the store and begging
for a little more credit ; but when she re
called how curtly this had been refused,
only a week before, she abandoned the idea
in despair.
Suddenly it Hashed upon her that the
wheat was being cut on the great Gresham
farms. In the old Squire's time, the poor
had been allowed to come with a sickle and
cut what they wished : it was a Scriptural
custom, which the Grcshams had main
tained from father to sou, for generations.
The old Squire was dead, but Ruth had no
doubt that the privilege would still be ac
corded, and looping up under her skirt, to
look as much like one of her rustic neigh
bors as possible, she took a sickle, and went
forth like her namesake of old.
Her heart did not begin to fail her until
just before she reached the harvest-field,
vi hen she remembered that the heirs of the
old Squire, whoever they were, were said
to be abroad, and that lawyer Dent was
their agent. 'Xew men, new measures,'
she said, aud stopped at the gate, with a
beating heart. 'What if I am driven ofT,'
But the thought of her sick mother, and of
the empty cupbard, made her desperate,
She lifted the latch and went in.
The reapers were sweeping on ahead, iu
a long, graceful line ; others, far behind,
were binding up sheaves ; and an overseer,
or what seemed one, was on horseback, di
recting operations. Ruth began iu a cor
ner, near the gate, far away from the rest.
She looked furtively, now and then, toward
the overseer, aud seeing that he had notic
ed her, yet did not interfere, she gathered
courage. If she could have seen herself
then, in a mirror, though the least vain of
her sex, she would have been startled by
her own beauty. Excitement had given a
bright glow to her cheeks and an even in
creased brilliancy to her eyes. Her half
rustic attire, course as it was, was admira
bly adapted to set of her fine figure ; her
white arms shone dazzlingly ; every move
ment was grace.
Suddenly a harsh voice behind criod,
'Xone of that. Throw down your sickle.
We'll have no thieves here.'
Ruth dropped her sickle, trembling all
over, and looked around. Lawyer Daut
stood there, also on horseback, and his
whip was raised menacingly. Ruth shrank
back ; her knees gave way under her ; the
harvest field swam around her ; she grew
blind ; she thought she was dying. She
had but one feeling, one thought, the man
was about to strike her. Ob ! the degra
dation of it, worse even than his words of
insult.
But she did not faint. Just as every
thing whirled dizzily around her, just as
she was losing consciousness, the quick
thud of a horse was heard galloping over
the stubles, and a stern voice addressed
lawyer Dent.
'What are you saying to this girl ?' it
cried, angrily. Xot telling her to go
away ! How dare you ? Didn't you know
my uncle always allowed this ; ay ! and the
Greshams from time immemorial ? Thank
God we have never ground the faces of the
poor. I saw you raise your whip threat
ingly, if I'm not mistaken. By Jove I if
you were not an older man than myself, I'd
thrash you within an inch of your life.'
All of a sudden, the angry voice ceased,
and the speaker, turning to Ruth, address
ed her in tones as soft as a woman's.
'My poor child,' it said, 'don't mind
Dent, I am master here. Take up your
sickle aud cut as much wheat '
He stopped suddenly. Ruth, up to this
point, had stood, with bowed figure, half
unconscious, her gaze bent, in shame, on
the ground ; but toughed by these kind
words, and even more by the tone, she
lifted her eyes, full of tears, aud gazed at
the speaker.
In that look there was something that
both thrilled and abashed the beholder.
Vouug Gresham, for such was the horse
man, was one of the handsomest men of
his day, aud he was accustomed to admira
tion ; but Ruth's glance seemed to say,
'Surely you are more than human ; you
are some knight of chivalry, come to rescue
me from a foul enchanter.' It was this
that thrilled him with a strange, wild feel
ing of happiness, such as no woman's
glance had ever before awakened. But on
the other hand, instead of finding himself
in the presence of a village rustic, as he
had expected, and as the dress led him till
this very moment to believe, he beheld, to
his amazement, a face not only of rare
beauty, but one instinct with that inherited,
as well as acquired refinement, which, for
want of a better word, is called high-bred.
This, he saw at once, was no mere village
girl, but a young princess in disguise.
And he had offered such a one alms I He
had spoken of her as if she was a menial t
His usual ease of manner failed him. He
sat there, dumb, as if himself the culprit.
Ruth broke the spell.
'Oh, sir ! she cried, with a sob, clasping
her hands and looking up at him imploring
ly. 'I meant no harm. I used to see other
people do what I did. And and we
were both starving mother and I "
Young Mr. Gresham turned aside for a
moment, to brush away a tear. Looking
up, he saw Dent's eyes fastened upon him,
and there was a sneer on the lawyer's face.
The young .an colored angrily.
'Ride on, if you please, sir,' he said stern
ly, to the lawyer. 'I have something to
say to this young lady alone.'
The lawyer olieyed, feeling, perhaps,
that he had gone too far, and wishing he
bad never seen Ruth.
Then young Gresham, lifting his hat to
Ruth, as if she had been a princess, said.
'I beg a thousand pardons. I shall set
t'e with Int to-day, and discharge him.

Believe me, I would not, for worlds, that
this had happened.'
'Oh. sir ! don't, on my account, quarrel
with him,' cried tender-hearted Ruth. 'He
was only doing what he thought his duty

Besides what?' kindly.
'Besides, he holds the mortgage on our

oh I how humiliated.

perhaps, have been one, but for the pre
sence of Ruth.
lie stooped from his saddle, and offered
her his band.
'Good-bye, fpr'.Xhe present, Miss Hun
ter,' he said. ,Bdl tell your mother she
need not worry herself about the mort"a"e.
I, not Dent, holds it. I used to know
your father, when I was a boy, and down
here ; and I shall ever respect any one
who bears his name.?
With this, he lifted his hat again, wheel
ed his horse, and spurred after his discom
fited lawyer.
The whole village was agog, the next
day, with the news that young Gresham,
the heir to the Gresham estate, had return
ed from Europe, where he had been at his
uncle's death ; had quarrelled with, and
discharged lawyer Dent ; and had given
out that he intended to reside at Gresham
Hall, on the home farm, hereafter, and to
look personally after his affairs. But we
anticipate.
How Ruth got home from the harvest-
field, she never afterward could tell. All
she remembered was that she had rushed
into the house, and flung herself on her
knees by the side of the bed, and had sob
bed out wildly, 'Oh, mother! mother,
dear ! the cotfcige isn't going to be sold. I
have his word for it. And God, who has
been so good in that, will now find some
way, I know, for us to get along.'
It had been nearly an hour after that,
before she could rally her dazed faculties
sufficiently to give her mother a coherent
narrative of what had transpired. She
bad scarcely finished, when there was a
knock at the door, and a boy from the
store-keeper brought in several parcels,
containing tea, coffee, sugar biscuits, a
ham, and various other edibles. 'Master
says as how he heard the missus was sick,'
said the boy, 'and 60 he sent these things,
reckoning as how you was too busy to
come and order 'em. You can pay for 'em
when times is better ; and you can have
as much as you like after this.'
If Ruth had a suspicion that some kind
intercessor had caused this credit to be
given to her, she had no proof. She pon
dered over the problem as she prepared a
hasty meal for her mother, and had Just
cleared the table, when there was a knock
at the door and opening it, she saw a high
bred, middle-aged lady, dressed in a plain,
but stylish walking-costume, who asked
with a kind smile, and a voice the very
echo of young Mr. Giesham's, when in its
softer mood, if 'Mrs. Hunter lived there ;'
and on being answered in the affirmative,
said, 'I know she is sick, and don't see
strangers, but tell her Maria Gresham is
here ; we used to know each other well,
we were both girls, more than twenty
years ago ; how much, my dear,' this to
Ruth, who held the door open for her,
'you look like your mother, when she was
of your age.'
Mrs. Hunter, at sight of her old friend,
seemed to be almost well again. The two
talked of former and happier times, when
the poor invalid had been the belle of the
village, and then of the years of separa
tion, and the changes that had taken
place, until the twilight fell, and Mrs.
Gresham, herself rising, said she must go,
or she would be belated.
'I had not heard of you for ever so long,
you see,' she said, 'and was too anxious to
wait even till to-morrow. We went abroad
when Hubert was qute young, that he
might be educated in Germany ; and we
have been there ever since. I don't know
but that we should have remained there
if uncle hadn't died, and Hubert heard
things about his lawyer here, that made
him think we had better return. We ar
rived only last night, quite unsuspectedly,
and my first inquiry was for you.'
Our story is nearly told. Lawyer Dent,
during the long illness of old Squire Gre
sham, that lasted for years, had had the
entire management of the Gresham proper
ty, ami had come to regard himself as re
sponsible to no one. So he had given away
to his natural love of greed, extorting
bribes for forbearance from all debtors who
were behind, and mercilessly ruiuing those
who he could not bribe. When the old Squire
died, he reasoned that the heir would re
main in Europe, and so became more cruel
and more exacting. It was a rumor of the
conduct that had brought young Mr. Gres
ham home in the way we have sem.
It was not many months before Ruth be
came a bride. Young Mr. Gresham ne
ver forgot that look in the harvest
field ; it was a case of love at first
sight ; and not with him alone ; for to
Ruth he was always her 'red-cross knight.'
Everybody said she made the most popular
mistress that had ever lived at Gresham
Hall. The reason was that she carried
with her, into her new and envied position,
the same simplicity of character, the same
devotion to others, and the same nobleness,
which had distinguished her in her years
of poverty. Peterson's Ladies' National

An Alleged Care for Hydrophobia.
Whether the summer or the winter be
the season in which the larger number of
dogs "go mad" is still an open question ;
but it is quite settled that in the summer
fears of their going mad is most generally
entertained. Hydrophobia is a disease so
horrible in its character as to render it im
possible of contemplation without feelings
of horror. This is not alone because it al
most invariably results in death, but be
cause of the intense and continued agonies
which accompany it

of the bite of a rabid dog. It is a disease
which unfortunately cannot be studied
closely, and no physician, however brave,
would greatly care to experiment with a
mad dog in order to discover the secret of
his poisoned saliva, even if his life were
well insured. Iu the &dtt-Publipte, of
Lyons, France, however, there lives Dr.
Buis.sou, it physician of eminent social and
scieutitie character, who declares that he
lias discovered a remedy for the rabies.
We are aware that other declared lemedies
have been published, thick as blackberries,
but Dr. Buisson's remedy has the. weight
of his character as a man and reputation
as a physician ; besides, it is exceedingly
inexpensive and easily tried. Its simplicity
should entitle it to consideration. Virtu
ally it consists in driving out the poison
from the system, or at least rendering it
inoperative by forcing tbe sufferer into a
profuse perspiration. He therefore directs
that when a person has been bitten by a
mad dog he should, for seven consecutive
days, take a vapor bath of 57 decrees to 63
degrees C, (134 degrees to 144 degrees
Fahr.) This he designates the prerevtire
remedy. When this has not been done and
the disease declares itself, Dr. Bnissoa
states that it will be sufficient to counteract
the effects of tbe disease to take one vapor '
bath in which the temperature is made to
rise rapidly to 37 degrees C, (98 degrees
Fahr.,) and then slowly to 53 degrees C,
(127 degrees Fahr.,) the patient keeping
his room till the cure is complete. As to the
vapor bath, the simplest form is as effica
cious as the most elaborate. A few red
hot bricks placed in a pail of water, over
which the patient sits in a cane-bottomed
chair, a large blanket covering him in from
his shoulders to the floor, will answer per
fectly. Dr. Buisson's remedy resulted from his
own experience, he having got upon an
abrased finger some of the poisoned saliva
from a female patient iu the last stages of
the rabies. He not only cured himself af
ter every symptom had been developed,
but he has since treated with this remedy
eighty distinct cases without loosing a sin
gle patient. In his elaborate essay on the
subject, in the Salut-Publique, he refers
particularly to each of tbe cases coming
under his caie and cured by bim.
We simply suggest that this alleged re
medy for one of the most terrible of all dis
eases should be tried, for it involves no
risk, no expense, and has for its foundation
a substratum of known truth. For in
instance, it is well established that violent
exercise and profuse perspiration enables
the consitution to threw off the effects of
poisons, many instances being recorded of
fever patients and others suffering from
malarial poisons being cured by their vio
lent struggles during delirium.
Hebrew Belles Dkess Now as They
Did Uxdeii Solomon. It is an interest
ing fact, and true to a great extent, that
the style of dress and ornaments of the
Hebrew ladies of the present day and in
fact the prevailing toilette of all the ladies
is much the same as during the time of
Solomon. With all the changes and vari
ations of centuries, the gradations of chig- ,
nons and crmonnes, we now nnomiicaTii
the simple grace and easy symmetry of an
cient Greece.
The Scriptures narrate a great many
things about the style of dress worn in the
time of Solomon, and in the law of Moses
several directions are given concerning
garments worn by the Israelites. In the
Book of Judges the girls of that period are
described by Deborah as "A prey of divers
colors of needle work," while Lemuel says,
"Their clothing is of silk and purple." In
the frequent intercourse between the Jew
ish and other nations the ladies, tired of
their primitive simplicity, sought the fash
ions of the clever Egytians, the elegant
Phoenicians, and the luxurious Persians.
Even patient Job became impatient at the
dresses, and denounces the "women of the
period," living for nothing but dress and
flirtation, with the one desire to "see and
be seen."
The tunica worn by the ladies in the
time of Solomon was much Ike tlie polo
naise of to-day, and the belts with fancy
clasps now worn are about the same as the
leather girdles and silver buckles worn of
old. We also find recorded that trains
were worn to dresses, and that camels'
haii shawls were common. Embroidered
mantles, fastened with golden pins, are also
spoken of. The hair was" also oiled, dyed
and put up in coils ; little curls were let
hang over the forehead, aud, Btrange to .
say, the girls of Solomon's time, it is stat
ed, used paint
Veils were worn, and sandals were made
of blue and violet colored leather, with fan
cy latchets. Solomon, as is related, said
to Shulamite, "How beautiful are thy feet
with shoes, O prince's daughter !" Hair
nets were worn, and ear-rings of all forms
and much value were very common.
Bracelets on the right arm, strings of
pearls and heavy gold chains around the
neck, rings on the fingers, and other orna
ments, were all worn by the ancient He
brew ladies.
What Lagek Beek is Made of.
Alderman Kiefer, of Brooklan, employed
Fredrick Kohnle to superintend the making
of lager beer in his brewery at forty cents
a barrel of thirty-one gallons. The beer
turned out bad, and the Alderman's cus,
tomers forsook him, so that he lost, as al
leged, between 815.000 and 520,000. He
refused to pay Kohnle, and the Litter sued
him for 84,000 damages. The case was
tried last week in Brooklyn, Mr. Schwartz,
the editor of the Brewer, the organ of the
lager beer in that section, was a witness,
lie had been a brewer, and knew how it
was himself. Counselor Daily asked him
to translate an article on brewing written
hy him in his paper, and asked him whe
ther the sentiments contained in it were
his. Mr. Schwartz said that though he
advocated the manufacture of pure lager
beer as an editor, yet as a brewer he would
adulterate bis liquor. Justice Pratt said
that was like the teetotal lecturer who,
though he advised men not to drink, took
an occasional nip himself.
Mr. Schwartz was next asked what
lager beer was made of. His answer was
water, malt, hops, sugar, coriander seeds,
paradise seeds, Irish moss, isinglass and
coculus indicus. He knew that coculus m
dicus was a deadly poison. A packet of
something was handid to him and he was
asked whether that was coculus indicus.
He replied by taking a big pinch and
throwing it into his month. Then he
munched it up, to the horror of the court
and spectators.
'How much of that would it take to poi
son a man ?' Counselor Daily asked.
'About three pounds,' Mr. Schwartz re
plied, and great laughter foUowed. 'Three
pounds !' exclamed counsel ; 'three pounds
of coculus to poison a man !' 'This ia not
coculus indicus,' Mr. Schwartz, smiling
up to his earn ; 'this i coriander seed.'
