HINTS TO HORSEMEN AND FARMERS.
Wash Hi< beasts and all places on your
horses ami working cattle with a strong
decoction of white-oak Imrk boiled down
very strong. Wash a few times where
the harness conies, and it will toughen
the skin and prevent galls. If the har
ness wears the hair from your horse,
have the harness properly and thorough
ly soaped and cleaned, and then ailed
with neat's-foot oil blackened with two
tahlespoonfuls of ivorv-hlack to s quart

sweet oil ou patent-leather pods and
blinders. Give your horses a warm
bran-mash, mixed with a little salt,
every Saturday night, exoept w hen green
grass in fed. Clean out the gravel stones
and dirt from the shoes every night with
a stabb- hook, made of I i.ich round
iron, six inches long. The hook nesds
to lie bent only half round. Stuff the
horses forefeet with cow manure, clay,
and sidt twice a week in drv weather.
Hare him shod monthly by Lie best of
farrier*, although you <mve ten miles to
find him. No hone con be driven freely
unless his feet are in first-class order.
The feet, like the foundation of build
ing, are the first thing to look at in
purchasing, and if the horse's feet are
unsound, don't bnv at any price. Your
time is too valuable to lose with a ten
der-footed animal. If the horse is taken
sick you will prescribe the aaiue course
of treatment and medicines you would
do for yourselves in similar cttsea, and
then send for your family physician who
will do better than the quacks styled
Discharge any man who has no judg
ment snd fidelity in the care and use of
a horse. Carriage top*. —Use oil extract
ed fro in the entrails and cooking of
fowls, and add a little ivory-black. It is
better than neat's-foot or other oil, and
an occasioual application will keep your
carriage-cover iu perfect order. Soap
off the oil after it has been applied a
few hours. For the axles, use castor-oil
in warm weather, and sperm-oil in cold
weather, anil wipe surpliusrom axles and
nuts clean before and after rising."
HINTS FOB THE SFA9ON. Weeds fc
Pastures and Fence Corners should not
on any account be suffered to go to seed.
Let them be moved at once.
Stubble I send, especially after barley,
is often full of weeds ; a mowing machine
may lie used with advantage to cut them.
Also, in pastures where thistles and other
weeds are abundant, a mowing machine
affords an easy method of checking or
destroying them.
Mich Coir* are apt to fall off rapidly in
their inilk this month, aud that dairy
man is fortunate, or, more correctly
■peaking, prudent and enterprising, who
has a good supply of corn fodder. There
is little profit iu keeping cows, unless
they have all they can eat and digest The
trouble with corn is that it is too bulky.
The cows are capable of digesting more
of it than their stomachs will hold. They
need, if the grass is of poor quality, a
little corn-meal in addition to the fodder.
Hon** suffer greatly from flies this
month, and should be provided with nets
or light cotton covens. Washing them
with water containing a little crude car
bolic acid is a temporary relief.
Sheep frequently suffer greatly this
month for want of water. If there is no
water in their pasture lot, let them be
put at Bight in a lot where there is water,
or else be driven to water night and
morning : allow them plenty of time to
drink. If the weather is wet and the
grass king and succulent, it is a good
plan to mow a portion of it occasionally.
The sheep will eat and thrive on the
dried grass. Lambs, if not done already,
should now be weaned. Let them have
the best of pasture after weaning, and
Elace the ewes on poor pasture until dry.
xamine the bags for a few days, and.'if
necessary draw out the milk. When
dry, and if early lambs are desired next
I ring, the ewes, should begin to have
nndanoe of good food. Strong,
healthy lambs can only be expected from
ewes in good condition.
Swine. —Feed the pigs at night, but
not in the morning. They are then
hungry enough to search for their food,
to run on the stubbles, to pick up wormy
fruit in the orchard, and to eat weeds
and grass. At night they have a feed of
soaked corn, and go to sleep contentedly
with a full stomach. They should have
constant access to fresh water, and an
external application will be gratefully
received.
Renewing Old Pastures, by harrowing
them and sowing timothy, can be done
any time this month, or the beginning of
the next.
Man ure may be drawn out and spread
on the pastures and meadows, or on
grass or clover land intended for corn
next spring. Many farmers are afraid
that the hot sun will evaporate all the
ammonia. It would do so if there was
any free ammonia in the manure, but
such is rarely the case. (Spread the
manure at onoe, and be careful to break
up all the lumps.
Root Crop most be hoed and thinned
out. Most people ore inclined to leave
the plants too thick. White turnips may
be Bown any time during the month, and
evep ruta-bagas sometimes afford a fair
crop on good land, sown early this
month. — Agriculturist.
Lrvwo ON SPIBITITAI, FOOD.—A good
anecdote is related of Dr. Rice, which
enforces its own lesson. When he was
at the bead of the Theological Seminary
in Prince Edward, one of the oat parish
es of Virginia sent to him for a minister.
They, as usual in such cases, wanted a
scholar, a gentleman, an orator, a pastor,
a fine writer—in short, a perfect minis
ter. They "had formerly given 8350
per annum ; but now, if they conld get
such a man as they wanted, they could
raise it to 8400." The doctor answered
by telling them to send to heaven for
Dr. Dwight. He was the only such
man he knew ; and as he had been living
a good while on spiritual food, he might
possible live on four hundred dollars !

Execution of a Chinese Murderer.
The murderer of tlie Viceroy Ma was
executed a few weeks ago at Nankin bv
lieiug "cut into 10,00(1 pieces,'' winch
liieaus cut to pieces gradually until he
died. He bore the punishment as
I stoically as he had supported the hor
rible tortures to which he had lieen sub
jected in tlie course of the judicial iu vesti
i gallon. He first declared that he murder
ed the Viceroy because he believed him
; to be in treasonable communication witli
the Mohamedan rebels in Kansuh. Af
terwards be told a tide very similar to i
that extracted from his mother-in-law.
This was extracted from him by keeping .
1 him kneeling on hot chains; and though,
according to The Pekin Guzrttr, this dis
cipline was kept up afterward for 20
; days, until he was too weak to eat, and
apparently at the point of death, noth
ing else could be got out of him. "As
it would never nave done," says the'
official accounts, "to allow hint to die |
from exhaustion, thus cheating justice
of her rights, it was thought neceaßary i
to hurry on, so that he might live long
enough to be suitably executed." What |
' the suitable mode of execution was I
liave related. The value of a confession !
extracted by torture is not very great,
and Chinese official statements are al
ways untrustworthy. For what it is j
worth, however, I may say that the as
sassin declared his enmity against Ma to
| liave been caused by his rejection of:
a petition for justice against a man 1
who had carried off his wife aud some
money. He had got liis wife bnrk, but
not the money ; and wlieu lie appealed
to Ma for help the latter refused to en
tertain lus request. Some piratical
friends, whom Ma had disturbed in their
avocations, worked upon this irritation
and impelled him to avenge their and
his own wrongs at once.
A HQCTBBEL HITTTEB. —There is a young
man in Contra Costa County, California,
who may be regarded as the champion
sqnirrel-killer of all creation. He is said
to have killed no less than ten thousand
in a single season. From this it may be
inferred that the squirrel crop of the
Golden Btute is one of the heaviest of
the industrial resources of the Pacific
slope. The young man in question gath
ers his crop not for the fun of the thing,
nor because his family is habitually out
of meat, but as a matter of business. He
sells the skins of the squirrels for fifteen
cents each to the agents of foreign kid
glove manufacturers, and tlie county
pays him a liounty of ten cents a head
for every squirrel killed.
A PROBLEM.— Any number of figures
you may wish to multiply by 5 will give
the same result if divided by 2—a much
quicker operation; but you must remem
ber to annex a cipher to the answer when
there is no remainder, and when there is
a remainder, what ever it may be, annex
sto the answer. Multiply 404 by 5, and
the answer will he 2,320; divide tne same
by 2, and von have 232, and as there is
no remainder you add a cipher. Now
take 359—multiply by 5, the answer is
1,795 ; on dividing this by 2 there is
179 and a remainder ; you therefore
place a 5 at the end of the line, and the
result is again, 1,795.

Satanta's Plea fsr Ufr.
On the occasion of the sentence of the
two convicted Indian chiefs for murder at
Jocksboro, Texas, a few days ago, Satauta,
one of the prisoners, in re-ply to Un
charge of murder and sentence of death,
spoke through on interpreter as follows :
Why should I he, since I have been
under the white man's control ever since
I was a young man ? I started off with
a party of my people for Texas, and
stopped with a sick man on Peos River.
I have been ahum! by my people for

I have always la-en an advocate for pcnv.

This is the flrvt time I have ever been

neither do I know him. If you let me
live, I feel my abilitv to control my JH-O

to Uie dry prairies—uo power ran stop
it If I ocmid see General Gricraon or
my people I pledge myself for the Kiowas
that if 1 get out of Uiisl will make peace.

After making the foregoing remarks,

Mitraiflcnses were sent for, and a last
demand made upon the Communists to
surrender. "No! Vive 1a Commune!"
said they, with more determination than
ever. A horrid rattle from the mitrail

Communists were slaughtered. Said the
Versailles commander, "Through a cloud

The great waut in our stream* and
river* ia fish wars, or means whereby flab

ascend from tlie lied of the stream t*4ow
a ibim to the bed of the stream above.
As the manufacturiug interests of the
country have compelled the utilization
of water-power iu its fullest extent, near-
Iv every stream suited for the purpoee is
Jammed to produce it and the fish that
are spawned above, when once they go
below have no means of returning when
they may he matured, unless fish way*
are built for them. "Hie energy with
which the commissioner* are prosecuting
tlie erection of tin we is a good omen for
the future plentiful supply of tish. Fish
ways are not very expensive, except over
high dams upon large stream*. They
are made of plank, and usually start from
one end of tlie dam. A small gap, say
four to twelve feet wide, and from one to
two feet deep, according to the size of
the at ream is made in the dam. MO that
the waste water that otherwis ■ would
flow over it shall pass through this gap
and enter the tiahway, winch is a trough
or chute descending aUmt one foot in
ten. In this trough are bar* extending
about half way across, aud alighliv in

for the fish as they go up the tlsnwav.
It is important that the foot of the flli

A Turkish Breakfast.
A Turkish breakfast comprises aliout
thirty dishes. Soon after the first dish
comes lamb, roasted on the spit, which
must never lie wanting at any Turkish
banquet. Then follow dishes of solid
and liquid, sour and sweet, in the order
of which a certain kind of recurring
change is observed, to keep the apiM-tiu
alive. The pilau of boiled rice is always
the concluding dish. The externals to
snch a feast as this are these A great
round plate of metal, with a plain edge, of
three foot in diameter is placed on n low
frame, and serve* as a table, about which
five or six jieople can rrpoao on ruga.
The left hand must remuin invisible ;
it would be improper to expoae it while
eating. The right hand is alone permit
ted to lie active. There arc no plates,
or knives or forks. The table is decked
with dishes, deep and shallow, covered
and uncovered ; these are continually
being changed, so that little can lie eaten
from each. Home remain longer—as roost
meat, eold mi Iks. and gherkins, are often
recurred to. lb-fore you an attendant or
slave kneels, with a metal hnaiu iu one

ICE FITKAM.—A pinto of ire-cream tak
en leisurely, while seated at a table in
pleasurable conversation, is a far safer
quencher of thirst than a glass of ico
wnter, or any other ice-cold liquid ; the
ice-cream is, in addition, stimulating and
nutritious, thus strengthening, invigo
rating and cooling nt the same time.
Ice-cream should not bo taken immedi
ately after a full meal, unless in the slow
est manner possible—a plateful iu the
course of fifteen minutes, during lively
conversation. If eaten rapidly it coots
the stomach, prevents digestion, and
causes acidity, unseemly belchings, if
not actual chill, which in feeble JHTSODS
endangers life.
DANOEH. —Among the facts already
elicited in the inquiries as to the cause
of the explosion on board the New York
ferryboat Wtttfirld are. these : Incompe
tent persons were placed in charge of
the machinery ; the boiler was at best a
dangerous one, and the engineer was
asleep at the time of the explosion.
These are not pleasant things for people
to reflect upon who have to make daily
journeys upon steamers. It is not won
derful that this explosion occurred, but
it is very wonderful that a similar disas

Narrow Gauge Kallwaya.
A* tlie question of narrow gauge in !
preference on the score of economy to j
wide gauge railways has lieeoinca subject
of intercut, we take the followiug from |
the Ginciuiiati GateU* i
The first element of economy in favor
of narrow gunge railwuva ia (he coat of I
earthwork. From actual surveys rejsirt-1
ed by the Massachusetts committee, the
e inqmrativo amount* here stated give
the average |H*r mile for a certain road :
twenty-five tuilea iu length.
Tkm/m$ IW A** • |
Rxeavstiou
RmkaankiMOut 6,two ,00
Jtueli culling. . I,OUO 9,100
If we estimate the cost of earthwork
' proper at 20 cent* |s*r cubic yard, and
rock cutting at 80 cent* per yard, the
cost of the uarrow gauge will lie 93,000
IM-r mile, and of the common gauge,
15,740 per mile giving a difference in
' favor of the former of 92,140 per mile.
It is safe to estimate in all case* that
the cost of earth will lie one-third leas on
1 Die uarrow iiuea titan on the common
gunge, even if the same alignment be
i adopted.
There is, however, soother very im
' portaut pa"t of this same element of
' economy, to wit, the practicability of
using curves of much Muullcr radius.
On our present line* curve# of 717 feet
1 radius art- regarded iu the sharpest
i admissible ; while on the narrow gauge
it L established that this may lie fuither
diminished with safety to 200 feet
i radius.
. The advantage from this change of
idigumeut will give another iuqsirtiiut
saving of earthwork, making a reliable
retliictioii of at least one-half in the
' total cost of earthwork.
' I The aeeond element of economy iu
favor of narrow gauge is the cost of
superstructure.
The cost of the standurtl gauge per
mile, with rails weighing sixty pouuda
| )* r yard, will be nearly n* follows :
Ninety-flv# ton* rail at 170. 96,600

Tin- difference in (QVOT of the narrow
gauge is SI,BBB per mue, or nearly one-1
half.
The third element of cx-ouomy in favor 1
of the narrow gauge is the oust of roll- ;
iug stock compared witii carrying capa-,
city.
F<>r the standard gauge, box. ears j
weigh empty, 10 tons ; IkX ear ca|iarity, j
10 tons—or, for every pound of paving 1
freight one adilitional pound of dead
weight must lie carried, if to this we !
mid the cost of returning empty cars, ]
which enter* more or less into tlie ex-1
jietitH-a of transportation, it is safe to i
estimate a loss of two-thirds of actual
transportation for dxut weight.
F\r the narrow gauge, box car* weigh I
2* t<> 3 Urns, carrying capacity 5 to 6 j
tons, or for two pounds of paying freight
there is to be calculated one of dead 1
weight.
The cost of returning emptv cam will
be murh lea* than for same o) standard .
Guge, thus giving a difference still '
wer—in favor of the narrow roods.
Too other element* of economy —vet'
iu dispute among engineers—thereliUre
useful jiower developed in the mud!
engine* of ten to fifUx-u tons, compared !
i tli standard engines weighing twenty
five to forty tons—and the probable i
duration of the superstructure from
dimmished percussion will IM> ductuaaed
hereafter.
The tiital cost, estimated from the !>est
dabg of nfvrating standard gauge roil- j
roads is seventy per cent, of the gross !
receipts, while on narrow gauge roads 1
(hi* cost will not exceed fifty per cent-
Many of our present roods ore unprofit
able investment*, and very many of the
newly projected lines must be equally '
unprofitable if cotistmeted u|on the!
standard gauge, while those some lines,
it constructed on tlie narrow gauge,
would yield very satisfactory returns.
The statements here made are deemed
reliable. Wing made chu-flv front actual
exierience. and are certainly worthy the 1
careful attention of parties desiring to
construct new roods or remodel old ones.
The Fate of a Murderer.
Measner, who suffered tlie death j
pe islty at K< Theater, N. Y.. has been
thriw sentenced and reprieved during \
the last three yearo. The crime for j
which he died was committed more than
three years ago. His case afforded a
curious illustration of the law's delays.
On April 13. 1808, his wife was murder
ed. Before the close of the spring he
was tried, found guilty, and sentenced
to W hung on June 4. 11869. On June 3 !
be was respited. Before the respite ex- j
ptred a writ of error ami stay of proceed- !
rag* were granbxl bv Judge Darwin ,
Kantii. It waa set aside by the Supreme !
Court, hut a second writ having been j
granted the execution was again deferred '
]to DecernWr 10, 1809. On this day he
was actually dress*el for execution, and
tickets were sold for the exhibition of
his throes. In this eonnection the hor
! rible rumor must W noticed that a gang '
of gamblers made hu life and tlie delay j
of hi* execution the subject of lieta In
fact it is said that oue gang was trying
to hasten and the other to defer the exe
cution—bulling and bearing the man's
i life. This time he confcoacd that he was
! prepared to die. A stay of proceeding* j
was granted, and his case come before;
the Court of Appeal* in the following
month, January. 1870. The Court of)
Appeal* granted a new trial, at which,
by new act, Mcssner was allowed to
testify in his own favor. This trial took
place Inst J line, another verdict of guilty
was recorded, and trader it Judge
Dwight sentenced Messner to be hung.
Hi* crime was that of slaying his wife.
The evidence on which he was convicted
was circumstantial. He nnd his wife
lived a cat-end-dog life. A few daya It
fore her death she called on the neigh
bors to interfere in her favor. The day
ishe was killed there waa no one at the
; time of her murder near their miserable
"hanty on the I'enfleld Flat*. After tlie
deed "was done, and while she lay dead
i in their cabin he met one of the neigh-
Itors, Giles Van Aiken, who passed
while he was fastening up his home to go
for the doctor. To Van Aiken he said
'That his wife had bad luck : that she
fell from tho w heel of the cart against a
; stick, and was Itndly hurt. The diame
ter of the wheel was bnt three feet six
inches. .From the evidences of a strug
gle and the character of the wound and
! the appearance of the stick, Messner's
; story was disbelieved, and the knowl
edge of their quarrelsome relations
provoked the universal opinion that he
killed her. This he afterward* admit ted.
hut claimed that it was done in a quarrel
nnd ia self-defense.
FiXrEivsrvE.—Keeping n yacht is a
rather expensive pleasure, to say noth
! ing of it* original cost. A general esti
mate ha* been made, showing that the
annual oxitiisoa amount to uliout 84.(100
for a schooner, and $2,800 for a sloop.
Of course the cost of maintaining a yacht
varies according to the sire of the ves
j sol, and the management of the owner.
The yachting season last* only four
; months ; and frequently the dry-rot at
tacks tin- timbers after the first year, so
thnt the pleasure vessels depreciate in
; value every year. During tlie season
table expenses are heavy, sometimes
amounting to 8500 a week. A schooner
yacht carries a crew of not less than
eight men, whose comliined wages are
not far from 8360 a month. For a sloop
carrying a smaller crew the pay-roll
amounts to about 8200. In addition the
provisions of the crew will cost from 875
to $l5O a month. Repairs and altera
tions must be taken into account, as well
as the expense of taking care of the
yacht during the winter months.
The kangaroo is indeed a curious
beast. He is generally most wide awake
i when he's leaping.
The C'-RPPS
At the time of the departure of Uie
American fict for Corra, but before the
r*tilt wa* known, tlie Hhsnghai corre
spoudeiit of Thr J/nmltm 7 wrote the
following account of the projected expe
dition ;
One of the few remaining countries in
the world a I Mint which we know almost
nothing, and which has all the interest
that usually pertains to the unknown, is
Cores. We know that it lias been con
quered by Chinese and Jajianese, and that,
tuuugh now indejTudeut, it still acknow
i ledges f*lty to I'ektu in so far that it
monarch always receive* investiture at
the luutds of the " Emperor of the
World but regarding tlie country and
its people we have only the meager in
formation which has leen gathered from
Chinese l**>ka and t.'hineae oral deecrip
tions. Until recently the very existence
of the couutry was hardly realised even
by foreign reoidents in C'ldno. On or
ouly, about five years ago, some sailors
of an American ahip which hod been
wrecked on the coast made tiieir appear
ance at I'ekin, having been jSosaed down
i from t'orea through Manchooria. Tbese
men spoke liighlv of the kindueas thev
hail received tu UWM, and contrasted it
with the poor lodgings and meager fare
they were allowed by the Chinese so soon
>ts they Intd rrotated the frontier. It was
inferred from this that the Comma were
a very good sort of people. But suddenly,
j a short while afterward, news came of a
terrible massacre of Christian*. Heveral
; French priests and tiiouaauds of native
convert* had lieen killed ; one or two
missionaries only eocaped to tell the tale
—saved and |>*Med out of the country
hy some of their disciple*. Shortly after
this another American ship, the General
Sherman, was burnt, and all on board
her killed. Evidently the dislike to
Christianity had evoked a spirit of hos
tility to all foreigner*. In 1866, s French
expedition went up under command of
Admiral Rose to exact reparation for the
murder of the French Fneats, but it was
not strong enough to effect its object,
aud had to retire after having maintained
j itself for a time in the country. A new
! attempt is to be mode to bring Cores
into intercourse with the rest of the
world. An American expedition has
just Mailed, under the command of Admi
ral Rodger*, to trr to open negotiations.
Mr. Low, the United States' Minister at
i IN kin, ia charged with the diplomatic
*hare of the enterprise, and is instructed
primarily, to negotiate s treaty for the
protection of shipwrecked mariner*;
secondly,to obtain commercial privileges,
i if possible, aud to avoid the use of force,
unless it cannot be avoided without dis
honor. The aid of the Chinese Govern
ment was sought to prepare the way, bnt
the Emperor'a Ministers only consented,
very unwillingly, to fororard to the
Convui capital a disjiatch from Mr. Low,
announcing the expedition and its
objects.
Sorietj and Fashion.
Bran and water ia n*ed by the French
aa an emmolient for the skin.
Black lace mitten* and low-heeled
shoes are coming into faahiou.
The pink-tinted pearls are very mncb

Crimson merino petticoats are consid

Borne very lieaatiftil rings art* now
wv>rn of light pink cameos, surrounded

Gloves without stitching on the barks
are more stylish than the elaborately
embroidered ones.
Bonnets at " froufrou" ganae, trim
med with feather* and velvet, will ba
the prettiest styles worn next fall.
The latest novelty in neckties is of raw
silk in very bright colors, trimmed with
tilk fringe, or volenciennea or paint lace.
Red silk parasols are to be the latest
novelty next season, to be made very
Urge and edged with fringe, feather*, or
block Lace.
Many persons will be glad to hear that
long riVtlmn sashes with large bowa and
lOO|M are coming into fashion again, and
irv worn with street costumes.
The latest fashion for trimming the
skirts of silk dresses is with wide hiss
bands of a contrasting color, stitched on

A Wwttwn Railroad.
It is soroetiniivi rhbrgptl th*t oorporw
tkma hsv no souls, but thia will not up
|JyU> well-known Wrwtrrn Railroad—
the Milwaukee and St. Paul. This line
earrr an itntneuae nnmlter of emigrant*
to the Northwct, and do it on humani
tarian principle*. At Milwaukee they
have a large hotel, where the tired and
weary may rent and dawns*; they are
fed, and when ready to go are sent for
ward in comfortable paaaenger can,
which are devoted escliuively to the im
migrant business. It make* no differ
ence whether the new comers are penni
lem or have many durata, on they go all
the same. During the taat five yean
the ( V>m|Mny have fed and paaaed over
their tinea, an average yearly of at leaat
twenty thouaand pennikaa emigrmnta.
Of courae their iiWrality subjects them
to imjxwitioiu, but tbev submit to it
rather than the poor and deserving should
suffer.
There is probably n<> road that takes
so great paina aa the Milwaukee and St.
; Paul to accommodate its immense gene
ral travel. Owning or controlling some
1,500 milea of road, its trucks diverging
from Ohiaago, Detroit, and Milwaukee,
completely net-work the gnat North
, wast to the British Territory and the
Missouri Biver, and form the ahorteat
communication from the Esat to the Paci
fic. Our friends designing to gu Weet
should not fuil. if they would conaider
their own comfort, to visit the Oeneral
Kastcra Agent of the road, Mr. Joseph
W. Prince, 819 Broadway, New York,
| where they will receive full information,
and lie supplied with tickets on the moat
, liberal terms.

Wtuui'i Vdcboab Bittow are efMiog
the moat astonishing cures of indiges
tion, bilumancaa nervous weakneus,
rheumatism, scrofulous disorder*, and
chronic constipation, that the world baa
ever witnessed.
Feeling and Action.— lt is not
enough that we wish well to other*. Our
feeling* should clothe themselves with
corresponding actions. The spring
which has no outlet tvoomea a stagnant
pool ; while that which pours iteeif off
in the running stream is pure and living,
and is the cause of life and beauty wbare
ever it flow*.
Great harm and discomfort is caused
by the use of purgatives which gripe and
rask the system. Parson's Purgative
Pills are free from all impure matter,
and are mild and health-giving in their
operation.
