Humbugs.
P. T. Barnum is credited with saying
that "the American people like to be
humbugged," to which lie might have ad
ded with pertinence, "swindled also" as
the two evils are inseparably joined and if
we have a liking for one, we have a hank
ering for the other. Nearly every day we j
sec a practical application of these state
ments in unsuspecting persons being vie- j
timixed some way or other by the cupidi- j
ty of heartless sharpers.
In some instances the matter is more ■
laughable than serious, as In the ease of
the cure for dyspepsia offered foi one j
dollar. A melnneliolly victim of the dis
ease forwarded the amount and by return
mail received the following recipe: "Hoc
more potatoes and drink less whiskey."
Also a fifty cent sewing maehing was ad
vertised and the verdant chap sending
for it was the recipient of a two-cent
sewing awl.
But more serious was the case of the
honest farmer, of which we lately saw an
account,- who was asked to sign a recom
mend for a farming implement he had
been testing. The certificate was so ar
ranged that a tight note could be cut out
which was duly done by the agent, sold,
and presented to the victimized farmer
for payment. This was gross imposition
upon the farmer's good nature and hon
est purpose, but the knave had no scru
ples against a breach of trust so long as
swindling was his object.
In patent medicines a humbug trade is i
carried 011 by the wholesale. These usu
ally worthless remedies are generally
harmless to the patient's system but se
riously detrimental to his pocket-book.
Stimulants and opiates enter largely into
the compound, the effect of which is sooth
ing, giving temporary relief but rarely
effecting a cure. The trusty family phy
sician constantly warns, and earnestly
protests against the use of these dirty
fluids and griping pills, still the people
swallow tanks of the former and tons of
the latter annually.
Patent articles for the house, shop and
farm are constantly appearing, peddled
about the country and sold by good talk
ers for high prices. We enumerate a few
of them, viz, washing machines that re
quire 110 soap, little water and less mus
cle to perform the Monday ablutions;
duplex churns that produce 111 5 minutes
"gilt edge" butter that needs no working
and we might add patent pig troughs to
fatten pork at half expense and an im
proved hen's nest with trap door at bot
tom through which the newly laid egg
drops out of sight to the astonishment of
poor biddy, inducing her to repeat the ef-!
fort. These are samples of a few of the
articles ottered by transient dealers who
go about with patent humbugs many of
them of no more practical use than crutch
es for lame ducks or goggles for horses.
There is quite a trade in "valuable reci
pes'" for "making your own soap," "to
prevent lamps from exploding," "to keep
eggs fresh," "to cure tobacco chewing,"
"to catch lisli without bait," &c., all hum
bugs of course but plenty are found to
buy them.
Dealers in clothes raid the rural dis
tricts offering bankrupt goods for a song
generally getting a bank note, as was
done in this county a few years ago. It
1s a shoddy mess and not worth making
up as a good wind would blow the lilling
out. Lightning rod men figure in the
list and would be glad to attach worth
less rods not only to houses and barns
but to top-buggies and horned cattle
could they induce the honest farmer to
sign the agreement. We could add more
to the catalogue but these will suffice to
illustrate and set our readel'son the guard
as it is the custom of the press to do.
And as we have so often done heretofore
we again repeat, give a wide berth to all
traveling parties claiming to have the
sole agency of a particular and indispeu
sible article. Set them down as humbugs
and rest assured that if the thing has any
worth and there be a demand for it, that
it will be put upon the market and your
merchant handle it as he does everything
for which there is a call.
Iu short give your patronage to home
institutions including newspapers, rather
than encourage traveling parties which
are too often vendors of humbugs and
too frequently swindlers of the tirst wa
ter. In all cases keep your name oil' of
all papers presented by strangers or
known shysters lest a pretended recom
mend prove to be a "cut-throat" note
which you must pay or run a big law
suit to get out of it.

This remedy is something new, both as to name
j and composition. This is one of the wonders of the
j world. This Syrup, I claim, is better and more
i effective than any other ever offered to the ople of
I America or any other country, and what 1 say of
this 1 can prove, This Syrup, like the Pills, is
harmless and safe. It contains no opium or other
] narcotic poison, like the most Syrup, and is not dis
| agreeable to take. Any child will take it. And it
j will cure any and all inflammations arising from
j Cold. It is superior to all others in every respect
and especially for the following reasons:
Ist- It will cure Croup every time.
2d. It will cure Inflammation of the Lungs.
3d. It will cure Quinsy.
Ith It will cure Whooping Cough.
sth It will cure Bronchitis.

will guarantee a cure.
13tli. It is perfectly safe for ali ages as there is
! nothing in its composition that can harm a child.
