Perhar the most familiar of mystert
ous sounds are those produced by the
ventriloquist; familiar, because almost
every country fair is visited by one or
other of these exhibitors; mysterious,
because the real source of sound does
not correspond with the apparent. It
lies within the province of the anato
mist or physiologist to explain how it is
that men can speak as if from the stom
ach instead of the throat, and without
any perceptible movement of the Hps;
but the person who can do this, the ven
triloquist, may make himself a most
bewildenngdeeeiveror tnose wno listen
to him. Our power of determining the
exact direction whence a sound comes
ia less than we usually imagine. It is
said that Saville Cary, who could well
imitate the whistling of tbe wind,
would sometimes amu?v "..imsolf by ex
ercising this art in a public coffee-house ;
some of the guests at once rose to see
whether the windows were quite closed,
while others would button up their
coats, as if cold. Sir David Brewster
notices a ventriloquist of exceptional
skill, M. St. Gilie, who one day entered
a church where some monks were la
menting the death of a brother. Sud
denly they heard a voice, as If from
over ttieir heads, bewailing the condi
tion of the departed in purg:itory, and
reproaching them for their want of
zeal; not suspecting the trick they fell
on their faces and chanted the De Pro
fundi. A committee appointed by the
Academie des Science to report on the
phenomena of ventriloquism went with
M. St. Gille to the house of a lady, to
whom they announced that they had
t-oine to investigate a case of aerial
"spirits" somewhere in the neighbor
hood. During the interview she heard
what she termed "spirit voices" above
her head, underneath tbe floor, and in
distant parts of the room, and was with
citliculty convinced that the only spirit
present was the ventriloquistic voice of
M. St. Gille. Brewster tells of another
master of this art, Louis Brabant valet
de chambre to Francis I., whose suit
was rejected by the parent of a beauti
ful and well-dowered girl with whom
he was in love. He called on the
mother, after the death of the father,
again to urge his suit; and while he
was present she heard the voice of her
deceased husband, expressing remorse
lor having rejected Louis Brabant, and
conjuring her to give her immediate
consent to the betrothal. Frightened
and alarmed, she consented. Brabant,
deemiue it desirable to behave liberally
in tbe marriage arrangements, but hav
ing not much cash at command, re
solved to try w hether his ventriloquism
would be as efficacious with a money-
lending banker as it had been with the
widow. Calling on the old usurer at
Lyons, he manuageu that the conversa
tion should turn upon demons, spectres,
and purgatory. Suddenly was heard
the voice of the usurer's father, com
plaining of the horrible sutlerings he
was enduring in purgatory, and saying
that there was no way of obtaining alle
viation except bv the" usurer advancing
money to the visitor for the sake of
ransoming Christians lrom the bands
of the Turks. The usurer was territied,
but too, much in love with his gold to
yield at once. Brabant went next day
and resumed the conversation, when
shortly were heard the voices of a host
of dead relations, all telling the same
terrible story, and all (minting out the
only way ol obtaining relief. The usu
rer could resist no longer; he placed
10.0W) crowns in the hand of the unsus-
iected ventriloquist, who, of cource for
got to pay it over for the ransom of
Christians in luikey or anywhere else.
When the usurer learned afterwards
how he had been duped he died of vexa
tion. Of all producersof so-called mys
terious souuds, Dr. Tyndall's sensitive
or vowel name is one of the most curious,
Out of a particular kind of gas, with a
burner of peculiar construction, the
learned 1'rofessor produces a ligtited
jet of flame nearly two feet in height,
extremely narrow, and so exquisitely
sensitive to sounds that it sings and
dances up and down in response to
everything that is sung or said, with
different degrees of sensibility for differ
ent vowel sounds. "The slightest tap on
a distant anvil reduces its height to seven
inches. When a bunch of keys is shaken,
the flame is violently agitated and
emits a loud roar. The dropping of a
sixpence into a hand already contain
ing coin, at a distance or twenty yards,
knocks the flame down. It is not possi
ble to walk across the door without agi
tating the flame. The creaking of boots
sets it in violent commotion, the
crumpling or tearing of paper, or the
rustling of a silk dress does the same,
It is startled by the patter of a rain-drop,
I hold a watch near the flame; nobody
hears it tick ; but you all see their effect
on the flame; at every tick it falls and
roars. The winding up of a watch also
produces tumult. I ho twittering or a
distant sparrow shrieks in tbe flame;
the note of a cricket would do tbe same.
A chirrup from a distance of thirty
rardscausesittofallandroar." In re
ference to the power of the flame to
sitond to poetry the Professor says
"The flame selects from the sound those
to which it can respond ; it notices some
by the slightest nod, to others it bows
more distinctly, to some its obeisance is
very profound, while to many sounds
it turns an entirely deaf ear." Cham

The Patent OJSce Gasetu probably con
tains as much mirth-provoking matter
as any government document in tbe
world. Among many funny things Id
the last issue we notice a plan for pre
venting the cars from leaving the track
or dropping down when a truck breaks.
Tbe plan, in detail, is to have a set of
rollers or very wide wheels along tbe
top edge of the car. Under these rol
lers, upon each side, are two lines of
rails nearly as high as the eaves of the
car, and almost touching tbe wheels
mentioned. In case the wheels under
the car jumped the rails, the rollers
catch upon the elevated rails or tracks
and hold the cars up. A modification
of the device is shown, in w hich hooks1
are made to take hold of the upper
track. Taking this plan in all its details,
we do not think that a road equipped in
this way would cost more than twice as
much as an ordinary road. Taken for
all in all, it is about as absurdly sense
less as a plan could be. Tbe elevated
tracks could not be used at the very
points on the main line where the great
est danger is frequently met,nameiy, at
frogs and switches. The light and the
view of Uie country would both be ob-1
structed.and above all the heavy timber
work necessary to support these rails
would be objections. If the plan is ap
plied to an elevated road the same ob
jections exist. It is a marked example
of an invemtion to meet an imaginary
want. Probably the inventor knew
nothing of railroad requirements, and
had probably beard of accidents through
the papers, without any idea of their
real causes.
A parallel invention to this would.be
pair of crutches, so arranged that
when a man's foot slipped they would
raicn unuer nis ears and prevent a fall.

What Wnx Pat. Tear after year
the crops are moved off without return
ing anything to the soil. Manures are
put under the rains and the dropping
of eaves until they are drained of their
best materials and rendered nearly use
less. This could be obviated by cheap
sheds to cover the manure as thrown
from the stables. This can be done at
a small price and will par. Winter is
not a good time to build, but for such a
purpose as this it is better to build now
than not at all. Plaster should also be
used in the stables to prevent the es
cape of ammonia, and care should be
taken to keep it in as good condition as
possible. If the barns and yards are so
situated that the wastings are carried
off by every rain, a little time with a
team, plow and scraper will make a
ditch (a broad, open one it should be)
around the barn on three sides, then at
all times keep this filled with the
trash and litter which naturally accu
mulates about the barn. Tbe ditch will
hold the water, etc., from the yard and
cause the straw to rot rapidly and will
afford a large quantity of good manure.
When the manure is removed in the
spring the ditch can be filled with
w heat straw, upon which a few bushels
of lime has been scattered ; then as fast
as it rots pile it up in the ditch and fill
the spaces between each pile with straw
and so on. In tbe fall there will be a
fine pile of manure, which will reno
vate the worn out field, or to scatter on
the exposed knolls or tbe wheat field,
preventing winter killing. Another
great waste Is the large crop of weeds,
which every year is allowed to go to
seed, and spread all over adjoining
farms.
And after we have raised our crops
they should largely be fed on the farm.
It is much cheaper to ship corn, oats.
etc, in the form of meat than to send it
in bulk as raised; besides the soil is
made richer instead of constantly re
ducing its producing capacity.
l"sERGBorx Crops. Generally
speaking, only that is counted a crop
which appears above ground. We do
not refer now to root crops, as they are
termed, but to grain and forage crops.
especially grass and clover. Science
has demonstrated that while neaitny
clover plants, in a good soil, are form
ing a hundred pounds or stems ana
leaves, which collectively we term hay,
the roots below, cleared from dirt, will
weigh fifty-six pounds. Most of this
underground growth is obtained from
fertilizing material fished up from the
subsoil by root fibers. Half as much
weight of product as appears on the top
of the ground, when a bay crop is gath
ered, may be transmitted into a future
grain yield, by being ploughed in, and
converted into plant food. Thus re
garded clover is a mishty agent in
maintaining and increasing the fertility
of the soil. A hundred pounds of land
Dlaster to the acre wonderfully in
creases both the upper and undergrowth
of clover. It has a double effect in at
tracting fertilizing gases from the air,
and drawing up agricultural salts from
tbe subsoil in water that rises and en
ters the lorn roots making them both
longer and thicker, at tbe same time
promoting tne growtn 01 leai auu stem.
The water evaporates from the plant,
bat the fertilizing gases do not. This
is the way to improve Darren sous.
Poor land may be fed and fattened just
the same as a lean pig may be made to
take on flesh. Clover and grass may
thus be made to work for the intelligent
farmer, not only during the day when
he is busy and active, but during the
night when he is last asleep.
How to Raise Turkeys. A farmer's
wife, who has had years of experience,
gives the following as her mode of rais-
ing lumens. All lug uisl ian: rciCT.it a
good kind. The autumn, or early in
winter, is the most favorable time ' for
that, just before the birds are sent to
market. Keep them well during the
winter. In the spring just before they
begin to lay, put them In an tnclosure,
where it is most convenient to have
their nests and where they cannot get
out. After they have made their nests
they may be set at liberty without any

good care of the eggs. They should be
erathered carefully every day, and
ulaced between layers of flannel or cot
ton, in a place of uniformly cool teirK
perature ana turnea over every aay.
As soon as the birds are hatched, feed
them with warm bread and milk, well
peppered, with boiled eggs added, or
thickened with cooked corn meal, or
wheat middlings, which is better. A
little care in these matters will repay
the efforts. Before I knew how to take
care of the eggs, I set thirty eggs one
rear, and but one hatched. The next
year I set forty eggs, and nearly all of
tnem natcnea ana we uirus uvea.
Handling Wet Soil. On this sub
ject the California Ajriculturit says:
Better not do it, because it is an injury
to it an injury that years of careful
culture cannot remedy. Heavy soil,
once puddled and packed when wet re
mains so for a long time i-very step
the horses take on wet soil puddles it.
The plow turns it over without pulver
izing it, and leaves a stiff glaze on tbe
furrows. Better be idle a few days, or
even sow the grain without plowing,
and scratch it when tbe surface dries off
than ruin or seriously injure the soil
by puddle-plowing. The way that
many farmers have, rushing through
when they get started, rain or shine,
mud or mellow, regardless of conse
ouence. is not accord in e to the dictates
of common sense, and is not profitable
either. Better pay your hired man to
let it alone, than to plow tne sou wnen
too wet.
The Wild Goose Flcm. In a late is
sue of the Prairie Farmer Mr. D. B.
WIer, an enthusiastic fruit-grower of
Illinois writes concerning this noted
plum that it has proved entirely hardy
where the thermometer has dropped to
32 degrees below zero once during the
past seven years and to 20 and 2S de
grees three times during that period,
yet the wood of this plum has never
been materially injured.
It appears that there are some two or
three different plums propagated and
sold as Wildgoose, and those who have
inquired of us where the genuine trees
may be had, we cannot answer with
any certainty. But probably the lead
ing nursery men of the county will get
hold of the true sort and of them the
trees may be had. Tbe tree Is a regular

BrCEWHEATAS A POULTRY FOOD.
Buckwheat is one of the most staple ar
ticles of poultry food. It Is very fat
tening, an excellent egg producer, and
very much relished by the poultry. It
is not, perhaps, used as extensively
here as in Kurope. In England France
and especially in Germany it forms not
only an important part of poultry food,
but Is much used for culinary purposes.
The great value which it has over other
cereals is, that it thrives luxuriantly
even on the poorest soil.
Peas Amoxo Potatoes When pota
toes are planted, if a few peas be
dropped in every other hill in every
second row, a fine crop of green peas
will be produced, supported by the po
tato vines. The black-eyed marrow
fat are best for such planting, as they
grow freely and quickly: and the crop
of potatoes w ill not be diminished in
the least.

A New Sofa-Ccshiox Cover. The
materials required for this cushion are
half a yard of fine white silk canvas, a
yard and a half of thick satin ribbon,
three inches wide, blue or rose-colored ;
a few skeins of floss silk, and a silk cord
and tassels.
Cut the ribbou into three pieces, to
be basted at equal distances on the
canvas, one in the middle, the others at
either side halfway between the middle
and the edge, t eatber-otitcn the ribbon
down on Doth sides with pale yellow
floss. In the spaces left between the
ribbon stripes embroider a graceful
little pattern in flosses which harmonize
with the shade of the ribbon. Make up
the cushion with a lining of plain silk
or satin, and trim the edge with the
cord and tassels.
This is an easy cushion to make, but
the effect is really charming, and we
recommend some of you to try it. The
cushion from which our description is
taken came from England, and we have
never seen a similar one in tins coun
try. Black satin ribbon and brilliant
embroidery would be an effective com
bination.
Recipe for Yeast. To make good
bread you must have good yeast. The
following is an approved recipe: Take
two good sized potatoes, peel and cut
them in half, put them in about two
quarts of water, or a little more; let
them boll soft, then put in a handful of
good bops; . let them boil until they
settle to the bottom, say half an hour,
then strain them through a tin strainer,
rubbing the potatoes well through the
water; add a teaspoonful or Drown
susrar: let it stand till cool, then stir in
half a teacupful of flour; when cold
pour It Into one of those large glass
preserve jars with screw cover ; stand
in a warm place to rise, shaking It up
occasionally. In twenty-four hours it

there will be a froth on the top and it
looks white all through. There is no
yeast to compare to this. It is easily
made and raises bread very quickly.
To Dress Crabs Cold. Open the
crabs, take out all the flesh and fat, and
the white meat from the claws; mix
the meat well with half tablesiioonful
mustard, one tablespoon ful vinegar,
half teasjtoonful white iiepper, and a
pinch of cavenue. Then wash and clean
the shells, till with the meat thus pre
pared, and serve. Garnish with parsley.
This is only the dressing for two crabs.
It takes the meat of two crabs to till one
shell when prepared in this manner,
Many use a larger proportion of season
ing, but this is quite sharp enough for
most people. e tfiliiK tney are union

is a matter of taste.
To Prevent Sputtino of Handles.
All carpenters know how soon the
butt ends or chisels split, when daily
exposed to the blows of a mallet or
hammer. A remedy suggested by a
Brooklyn man consists simply in saw
ing or cutting off the round end of the
handle so as to make it flat, and attach
ing by a few small nails at the top of it
two round disks of sole leather, so that
the end becomes similar to the heel of a
boot. Tbe two thicknesses of leather
will prevent all further splitting, and
if, in the course of time, they expand
and overlap the wood of the handle,
they are simply trimmed off all arouud.
Cream Mcfftxs. One quart of rich
milk, or if you can get it, half cream
and half milk; one quart of flour, six
eggs, one tablesoonful of butter, one
of lard, softened together. Beat whites
and yolks, separately, very light; then
add flour and shortening and a scant
teaspoonful of salt, and stir in the flour
the last thing, as lightly as possible,
and have the batter free from lumps.

Paint the Floor. None but earth-
colors should be used in painting floors,
and tbe rapid wearing off of a coating
of oil paint on a floor is a sure indica
tion that white lead has been mixed
with the paint. This is generally the
case, since it causes the paint to cover
better and spread easier. Lven tbe
employment of a varnish that has been
boiled with litharge should be avoided.
and one boiled with borate of manganese
preferred. It is also very important
that the first coating should be per
fectly dry before a second is laid on.
Scrap-Book Paste. Dissolve a tea
spoonful of alum in a quart of water;
when cold, stir In as much flour as will
give it the consistency of thick cream,
being particular to beat up all the
lumps; stir in as much powdered rosin
as will lay on a dime, and add also six
cloves, a teacupful of boiling water on
the fire, pour the flour mixture into It,
stirring well all the time. It will soon
be like mush. Let it cool, and keep it
cool. Lay a cover on it. For use,
soften with warm water. It will keep
twelve months.

Whkx Greek Meets Greek. A friend
of the Drawer, at Dayton, Ohio, sends
us the following reminiscence : -; .
In conversation with one of our
venerable citizens the other day, whose
title to being a pioneer none ia this
region will dispute, he related this in
cident In the life of the late C. L.,Val
landigham. "Val" was, when quite
Torino- man. a member, of the Ohio
Legislature, and ambitious to show off
nts accompiisnments. -one aay ne con
cluded one of his speeches with quite a
lengthy Latin quotation. After he had
taken his seat, a portly member- from
Miami sedately arose, arrested, the at
tention of the Speaker, and proceeded
to declaim a Wyandot Indian speech in
the original tongue. At its conclusion
he solemnly took his seat. All eyes
were turned upon the member in wonder
and amazement until he finished, then,
catching a glimpse of "Val" frowning
and showing his teeth, a roar of laughter
fairly shook tbe house. It Is safe to say
after that "Val" wasted no more Latin
quotations on that House. Harper's

to five, then to three, and in a niiuute
more had come down to fifty cents.
"Think of a great big dog like that for
fifty cents!" he exclaimed, as he pulled
in on the rope. The bartender talked of
hard times for a while, and tbe owner
of the dog finally said: "Well, take

AimmJ A TsufMmntlrr The
London Bnikler, in mentioning tbe fact
that iierr Uumboia is manaiacturing
narrow gauge compressed air locomo
tives at his factory at Kalk on the
Rhine, remarks : The greatest difficul
ty seems to be to provide the en
gines with a sufficient store of com
pressed air, so as to be able to run cer-
t.in wufcnnirAfl H i anreMl ThpT A!A there
fore supplied with an air reservoir or
air-boiler, it that expression oe per
missible, resting on a carriage-frame.
Tin. BtniA frmA ftlui mrriM the twin
engines moved by the compressed air.
1 he tension ot tne storea-up air natu
rally decreases gradually, until the
pressure becomes so small that it can
not overcome the resistance any lon
ger, and tbe engine consequently stops.
But tbe supply of air may be so regu
lated as to perform the work required;
moreover, air is not, like steam, depen
dent on the temperature, and is not af
fected by stoppages, 4cc To make
compressed air last a certain time and
distance it is only necessary to con
dense it to a corresponding high pres
sure. Bat there is a limit even to its
condensation, for leaving the possible
danger of explosion at too high a pres
sure out of consideration, there is a
difficulty in so constructing conden
sers as to make them practically work
able, even at a yery high tension. On
the one hand, too great compression
raises the temperature too much, while
on the other, on the re-expansion of
the escaping air, the temperature is
lowered to such a degree that ice
would form. Practically, therefore,
air has hitherto been condensed only to
a pressure of four or five atmospheres,
and calculations have shown that a
pressure of this power in a cloned re
servoir of the dimensions of a boiler,
as generally employed in mines, is suf
ficient to move not only the dead
weight of the locomotive, but also a
useful load on the norizontal way a
tolerable Iodk distance with the same
ease and quickness as is now the case
if men or horses are used for traction.
If the stored-up air of one reservoir
should -not' be found sufficient for a
certain distance, two or more of them
may be carried, connected with each
other by India-rubber pipes. If pipes,
famished at intervals with cocks, are
laid along the levels of mines wherever
the engines are to run, the latter may
take in a fresh supply of compressed
air whenever required. As in mines,
so on the surface, pipes may be laid in
the ground along a certain route. It
will loe seen that compressed air en-

Instinct and lieason.la the observa
tion of the habits of inferior animals,
we recognize many complications of
action, which, though directed to the
accomplishment of definite purposes,
we do not entirely comprehend. They
are, in many instances, not the result
of the experience of tbe individual, or
the education of its parents, who in
low forms of animals frequently die
before the batching of the offspring.
These actions have been grouped to
gether, whether simple or complex, as
directed by what we are pleased to call
instinct, as opposed to reason. Yet
there in every gradation between the
two.
Among the various races of dogs, the
companions of man for unnniubered
centuries, we observe not only reason
ing powers of a rather high order, but
also distinct traces of moral senti
ments similar to those posesssed by
our own race. I will give no ex
amples, for many may be found in
books with which you are familiar.
Actions evincing the same mental at
tributes are also noticed in wild ani
mals which have been tamed. You
will reply thatthese qualities have
lieen developed by human education ;
but not so : there must have been a la
tent capacity in the brain to receive
the education, and to manifest the re
sults by the modification of the habits.
Now, it is because we are vertebrates,
and the animals of which I have spo
ken are vertebrates, that we under
stand, though imperfectly, their men
tal processes, and can develop the
powers that are otherwise latent.
Could we comprehend them more fully
we would find, and we do find from
time to time in the progress of our in
ntiines. that what was classed with in
stinct is really intellection. Popular

Reappearance of a Flower at Tlie End
of Ttcen ty (Jen turies. The effect of ligh t.
regarded as the tne revival ot lite in
the vegetable world, has just been il
lustrated by the oltservations near Ath
ens of Professor Ilendreich, under very
cariods circumstances. The mines at
Laurium, concerning which of late
years there have been such active di
plomatic procedures, consists for the
most part of the scoriie produced by
the workings of the Greeks. These
still contain a good deal of silver,
which can be abstracted by the supe
rior appliances of modern times. Be
neath these scorhe have lain in a dor
mant state for at least ODe thousand
five hundred years the seeds of a kind
of poppy of the genus Glaucium. But
since the scoriae have been removed to
the furnaces, this plant has sprung up
with its pretty yellow petals over the
whole space which they covered. Un
known in modern times, it was des
cribed by Pliny and Dioseorides, and
had disappeared from the race or tne
globe for fifteen or twenty centuries
Carbon in the System. It appears that
the new system introduced in France
for reducing obesity, has for its basis a
regime resting on the prevention of the
introduction of carbon in the body, or
on favoring its transformation and
augmenting the amount ot oxygen ;
the food, therefore, to be non-nitrogenous,
varied with a few vegetables
containing no starch and some raw
fruit. The temperament of the patient
is also to be kept in view; that is, the
lymphatic to have a red diet, such as
beef, mutton, venision, hare, pheasant,
partridgetc but the sanguine a light
diet, or white such as veal, fowl, pi
geon, oysters, etc. Vegetables, not
sweet or farinaceous, are allowable,
also grapes,apples, gooseberries; while
sugar, butter, cheese, potatoes, pastry,
rice, beans and peas are prescribed.
The hygiene consists, in this new sys
tem of treatment, in favoring the ac
tion of the skin, in wearing a tight
roller to support the walls of the abdo
men, in taking plenty of exercise on
foot or on horseback, also playing at
billiards, fencing, swimming, gymnas
tics, and kindred diversions.
The Time Taken to Produce Coal
Formations. Before the Glasgow Geo
logical Society Mr. E. A. Wuusch drew
attention to certain seams of coal in
the Isle of Arran, as giving evidence of
the immense time required to produce
them. Mr. Wunsch stated that he had
found numerous cylinders of . trees
completely flattened lying across each
other at various angles with thick bark
compressed into less thickness than
common pasteboard, and tbe carboni
ferous matter reduced to graphite, so
that from three to four inches in thick
ness of this impure coal contained pro
bably twenty generations of trees over
lying each other. Now. if thirty years
is allowed for tbe life of each tree, it
must have taken 600 years to form four
inches of impure coal or 1.&00 years for
the formation of a coal seam one foot
thick. ,
.V. A nsart, a captain in the French
navy, has published a paper to prove
that the electrical attraction exerted
on tbe clouds by tbe earth is an impor
tant factor in the generation of winds.
He agrees with M. Keller in explaining
the production of waterspouts by the
attraction of the earth ; the rotation of
the spout be attributes to the fact that
the attraction of the earth is not equal
ly exerted on the whole of the surface
of the cloud.
The black dogwood or the berry
bearing alder make tbe beet charcoal,
willow is next, and common alder
third in rank. Small wood of about
ten years growth is in all cases to be
preferred for charcoal for making gun
powder. Alder and willow of this age
will be probably 4 or 5 inches in diame
ter, dogwood about 1 inch.

Gentlemen : I have been afflicted for
two years with what I supposed to be
consumption. I have suffered from a
severe pain in my left side, the pain
being but slight at first, but increasing
in severity every day until it was almost
impossible for me to follow my avoca
tions without great suffering and the
most excruciating pain. I have tried
almost every known remedy without
receiving the least relief. Mr brother
having been afflicted with spitting of
blood and all the tendencies to consump
tion, and having been cured by Dr.
Wistar's Balsam or Wild Cherry, re
commended it to me, and I at once com
menced using it with the most satisfac
tory results. 3Iy pain is gradually
growing less and 1 feel much better
than I have for some time past. As long
as the Balsam does as much to restore
my health as it has done thus far, so
long shall I continue using It, and I
would advise all afflicted with lung dis
eases to give It a trial. I remain yours
truly, Daniel B. Harper.

People sometimes suppose that Dr,
Pierce's Family Medicines represent
the entire extent of his resources lor
curing disease. This is au error. Ex
perience proved that while the Golden
.Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescrip
tion, Pleasaut Purgative Pellets, Coiu-
IKMiud Kxtract ol Smart- eetl, and lr,
Sage's Catarrh Kemedy, would, if faith
fully used, cure a large variety of chro
nic complaints, there woufd be Mere
and there a case which, from its sever
ity, or from its complication with other
disorders, would resist their action.
1 liese exceptional cases required a tlio
rough examination into their symptoms,
to ascertain the exact nature and extent
of the disease or diseases under which
the patient was laboring, and the use of
s)ecinc remedies to meet ana overcome
tne same. This led to the establish
ment of the World's Disjx'nsary, at
Buffalo, X. 1 ., with its raeufty ot 1'hy
sicians and Surgeons, each of whom is
skilled in the treatment of chronic dis
orders in general and those belonging
to his own special department in par
ticular. To one is assigned diseases of
the throat and lungs; to another, dis
eases of the kidneys and urogenital or
gans; to another, diseases of the diges
tive system ; to another, diseases of the
nervous system ; and to another, dis
eases of tiie eye and ear. Thus the
highest degree of perfection in medi
cine and surgery is attained. The es
tablishment of this institution enables
the Doctor to meet a long-felt want in
the treatment of the more severe chro
nic affections. By a careful considera
tion of the symptoms as given in wri
ting, he successfully treats thousands
of cases at their homes. Others visit
the Dispensary in person. The amplest
resources for the treatment of lingering
affections are thus placed at the dispo
sal of every patieut, and those on whom
the proprietary medicines do not have
the desired effect can procure a more
thorough and efficient course bv a per
sonal application to the proprietor of the
rt orld s Dispensary. u
