The Apache Indians on the Verde Res-
ervation in Arizona are not making much
progress In practical agriculture. Some
time ago corn, beans, pumpkin, and other
seeds were issued to them for planting,
whereupon they immediately boiled them
all and had a grand feast at Government
expense.
A discontented couple living In Ne-
braska, being desirous of securing funds
wherewith the lady could take a journey
to Europe, recently sold their three-year
old ehild, with a cow, to a well-to-do
farmer for $100. The price at first de-
manded was $100 for tbe child and $25
for the cow, but a compromise was Anally
effected on $100 for the two.
The "grasshopper twist" is now the
8roper thing in fashion-circles. It is a
ttle variation on the " Grecian bend
that was a forward, this a backward bend,
with the elbows placed at right angles
with the sides, in a similar fashion to the
jumper of a grasshopper when at case.
It Is supposed the mouth is to be worn

Gkeen tea as imported is considered
by the English courts as an adulterated
article, and a grocer of Liverpool was re-
cently fined for selling it. The tea was
shown by chemical analysis to be colored
by Prussian blue and mineral matter, but
experts in the trade proved that it was
genuine green tea as imported from China.
The British Trad« Journal admits that this
tea is adulterated, and that the Importa-
tion of green tea into England will be
virtually stopped.
A man in Whitehall kicked another man
and was arrested for so doing. When
brought before a Justice of the peace, he
informed his Honor that the man he had
kicked was a lightning-rod man. The
justice at oncc discharged him with the
remark: " The man who wouldn't kick
a lightning-rod man wherever be finds
one, is unfit to eqjoy the liberties for
which Washington fought and Thomas
Paine wrote.'' That i ustice had paid five
hundred dollars for lightning roas on his
house last spring.

Democracy and Back Pay.
Remarkably
hold
hey
s! With what refreshing unanimity
fervor they denounce the back-pay
ness! One would suppose, reading
virtuous, these Democrats,
conventions and beg

votes!
and
business! One would suppose, reading
their resolutions, that no Democratic
member had voted for the bill—or, at
most, oniy one or two, who must have
been seized by a gang of Republican
thieves, and absolutely forced to support
it or die. Can it be believed, when we
listen to the virtuous indignation of Dem-
ocratic; conventions, that any member of
that party ever drew the money?
No douht they arc sincere, these Demo-
cratic denouncers of Iniquity. " When
the devil was slok, the devil a monk would
be," and Democracy in convention is al-
ways sick, and always fearfully and won-
derfully pious. But we doubt very much
whether even Its present spasm of piety
would last long If it could get together
votes enough to secure power. There
aro some serious difficulties In the way.
Take Ohio, for example, where the
Bourbon anu mixed conventions have
rivaled each other in vigor of denuncia-
tions of the back-pay business. What
would become of Mie party if it should un-
dertake to slaughter ali its leaders who
have participated in this job? Thurman
woulu survive, for he and Senator Sher-
man both returned the money, having
voted five times each against the bill. But
what would become of the party if such
war-horses as Morgan and Campbell, Van
Trump and Lamison should be tumbled
into political graves? L. D. Campbell
and George W. Morgan have done more
hard work for their party, and have more
the work upon which It has just entered
ample reasons for maintaining Its organi-
zation? Has It outlived its usefulness be-
cause an Insignificant number of Its vast
membership voted contrary to the popu-
lar will? Can the Democtatic party, a
majority of whose representatives voted
for the salary Increase, hope to become
useful bv changing their name, while mil-
lions of Republicans sink into helpless In-
activity because a few of their number did
so? We beg our " discontinued " Liberal

The Rev. —of Erie, Pa., is an ener-
getic worker, but as yet he has fallod to
convert a certain wealthy stockholder In
various mining enterprises. Tslklng to
him the other day, he said: "Mr. —,
Írou are getting your fortune by investing
n mining stock; now I want you to take
some stock in the golden streets of Heav-
en." The reply was a continuance of the
metaphor: " Well, I guess I won't In-
vest to-day; I've lost considerable on that
North Shore tin investment; and who
knows but the country you refer to may
be 'salted' too?"
A youth of ten years, residing in Bing-
liamton, played so long on a recent after-
noon, that lie did not get home until sup-
per was over, and consequently was told
that he could have nothing to eat. Cast-
ing one look behind him he Btarted for the
door, at the same time remarking:
" Mother, I'm going to die, and when I'm
dead I want the doctor to cut mo open
and look at my stomach." The mother,
greatly alarmed, inquired what he meant,
when ne replied: "1 want them to know
that I died of starvation." A " stay of
proceedings" was ordered, and the'boy
turned from his evil intentions to the sup-
per-table.
Amono the remarkable gas wella in this
country is the Newton Well, six miles
from Titiisvllie, Pa. It was discovered
last year and produces three millions of
cubic feet of gas every twenty-four hours.
The gas Issues under a pressure of from
twenty to thirty pounds per square inch,
and for the most part goes to waste.
Pipes have been laid to Titusville, and
some two hundred and fifty dwelling-
houses, shops, etc., are now supplied with
the gas for illumination and fuel. For
beating purposes it Is admirable, but for
illumination it requires to be passed
through naphtha, as It is deficient in car-
bon.
Mrs. Mahia Waldkn, who died at Buf
falo, recently, at the age of seventy-nine,
was the first person in that eity who own-
ed a piano; and when in her vouth she
played upon It, she very mucli astonish-
ed, it Is said, the Indians. The instru-
ment must have been but a poor, little,
thin-toned, tln-kettley sort of au iifliiir,
such as some of us can remember coming
down in the family from our grand-moth-
ers. What would the Indians have said
toa foil grand, witli a modern master
pounding the keys?
" Nolle Prossed by Death."
eorge W. Morgan have done more
work for their party, and have more
local strength than almost any other lead
ers it can boast, but they both- took the
money. Lamison voted for the |ob eight
times, pocketed the money, and when
asked a second time by a Democratic
local convention to resign, Impatiently
replied that he " would me the conven-
tion in"—a place of perpetual torment
—"first." Also Van Trump, who
was a most determined Bourbon,
and a noisy opponent of any abandon-
ment of "the grand old Democratic
party," with A. J. Dodds, tho so-called
Liberal from Cincinnati, botli drew the
cash. Not a single Democratic member
of the House from that State refused to
pocket the plunder.
What would become of the Democratic
party of Missouri if it should begin oper-
ations by denouncing and slaughtering
Erastus Wells, McCormick, ComFngo and
King—to say nothing of J. G. Blair? All
these Individuals have some friends. To
berotate(U>utof office, only to make room
Nfrfome other aspirant, Is bad enough,
but ,tf they are to be denounced as unfit
for pttbllo service by the candidates noml<
Rice, ltobinsen and Stephens of Illinois,

not pretty clear that the old concern
ula have
le difficulty with Democratic
, so many of the most effective
.and leaders of that party have
iated In this business that it can-
not afford to take upon its hands the
task of public executioner. It lacks
strength already. To lose so Important
n part of the strength It has left would be
equivalent to a disbandonment and des-
truction of the whole concern. The Re-
publican party, if it undertakes in good
liiith the task of dismissing from public
life every Republican who has participa-
ted in this wrong, lias the strength to
meet the loss of their support. The
Democratic party cannot slaughter its
salary-grabbers without slaughtering it-
self,—St. Imuia Democrat
Chinese Saperstltlons.
The Chinese have imported Into San
Francisco, where they have erected a
large temple, or Joss-house, many ofthe
heathenish observances and superstitions
of their native land. Among these Is the
singular custom of burning prayers be-
fore the Image of one of their many del-
ties. Our Celestial brethren have queer
notions in regard to offering prayers, pe-
culiarities shared by the people of Japan.
Devout and religious in their way, they
appear to have an antipathy to the labor
of saying prayers, and resort to a variety
of devices to relieve themselves of this
mental drudgery. As Englishmen and
Americans invent calculating machines,
the Chinese contrive praying boxes,
which, placed before an idol, unroll a
strip of paper on which the petitions are
inscribed. This is supposed to have all
the efficacy of oral prayer, with the ad-
vantage that the petitioner meanwhile
can be attending to his worldly business
or pleasure. We have read oí one thrifty
and ingenious Chinaman whose praying
machino was attached to a water-wneel <
the side of a running stream—an arrant,
ment which absolved him from all care
and anxiety in regard to his devotions.
Day and night the praying wheel went
round and round, and its owner had tbe
satisfaction of knowing that, waking or
aBleep, he was always praying.
Another method is that oC burning
prayers before the Image, which is done
either in a private dwelling or publicly in
a temple. The vending of ready-made
prayers is a profitable business. They
are printed on slips of paper, and a man's
devotion Is limited only by the resources
of his pocket. Taking the slips home, or
into a temple, the devout worshiper lights
them in the flame of the lamp or candlc
which burns before the image of liis deity,
and with Immense Inward satisfaction,

and milch cows. A large Geraan farmer
gives a pint a day, mixed with oil cake,
to his cows, largely Increasing tbelr milk.

yield less food, but the animals pastured
upon them make a less yield in beef or
milk than when the stockls In proportion

Staonant or foul water Is injurious to
all animals. It causes blood poisoning,
and this leads to many fertile complaints,
and is one ot the great causes of abortion

In 1870 there were 1,345 deaths by suicide,

aged man, who hailed from Tallapooi
county rendered famous In old time
being the home of "Simon Suggs," and
now icnown as tho "Banner Democratic
County" of Alabama, relate the following,
which we will try to give In his lan-
■"SR wus, as well as I kin riokolok, at
the fall term of court, In '64, at Dade-
ville, when (that clever old man, he Is
dead and gone), Bob Dougherty was the
Judge ana Squire Joe McDonald—as
you're from Columbus, mister, you must
know the Squire, for lie lives down there
In Russell now—had been discharged
from the army and wur solicitor ofthe
'Bloody Ninth,' as the Cirklt wus called.
There had been a true bill found by the
Gran Jury at the spring term of the court
agin old man Jim Rentfrow, and Jim he
went to the war that summer, thinking,
perhaps, the case would be dropped on
that account.
" Well, while the court wur In session
I went to Squire McDonald for to try and
git him to nol pros, the case, and he 'lowed
as how it went mitlly agin his grain for
Tiie Usefulness of the Republican Party.
One of tho silliest charges that the Col-
umbus Pharisees made is contained in the
resolution condemning the Itepubllcan
party, and declaring that it lias outlived
its usefulness because a minority of its
representatives voted for the salary bill.
On many of the questions that arose (lu-
ring the rebellion u minority of Republi-
cans voted against the convletlons of tho
party, and sometimes on matters vital to
the country. Did that multe the party a
failure ? Had it " outlived Its usefulness"
because of this? Did it, alter the great
doctrine of cqunl and exact justice to all
men, or the principle oi the preservation
of the Union for which it was struggling,
because a minority chose to vote against
the party? Why, a minority of Republi-
cans voted against coercion; a minority
opposed the Proclamation of Kinancipa-
tion ; h minority opposed the Fourteenth
niel Fifteenth Amendments: a minority
oppo;cd tiie re-election of Mr. Lincoln.
Had they been powerful enough to suc-
ceed by the help of tiie Democrats the re-
sult would, no doubt, have been disas-
trous ; but it would not have changed the
I ustice ofthe mighty principles for which
the majority contended, and would net
havo proven that tho party had outlived
its usefulness. But behind stood, not
only a majority of Congress, but twenty
millions of people, and tills great army
marched on, regardless of the treason,
timidity, or mistakes of the few.

watches the smoke asceud Into the uir.
Sticks of incense are burned in the samo
manner, a form of worship supposed to
be especially acceptable to the divinities.
Analogous to this custom is that which
prevails among the ('hiñese In California
and Cuba of sending home letters by the
dead. When a Chinaman dies abroad his
spirit is supposed to return to his native
land, and all his countrymen, for and
near, intrust him with letters to their
friends and relatives at home. The mis-
sives are laid around his dead body until
it is incloscd in the coffin for burial or
transportation—for no Chinaman willing-
ly allows his remains to be buried in alien
soil—when they are solemnly buried, and
the soul of the deceased is supposed to
carry the messages with him to the shores
of the Celestial Empire, and there faith-
fully deliver them. There Is no return
mail by spiritual messengers, for the
ghost of no deceased Chinaman is ever sup-
posed to visit alien shores. The failure to
receive replies to their letters, therefore,
does not lessen their faith in the dead
man's post.
A French Breakfast.
Nobody who has not lived in Paris, and
had reason to visit the French en dishabille,
can havo an idea how uncomfortable so-
cial life can be. We know a little of sav-
ages and tents, and have most of us
smoked the pipe of peace, or eaten the
onion of friendship, in curious cabins,
wigwams, and cantoments; but I believe
it is in the líense of middle-class France
that one •«*!" fJeok for real discomfort.
To them, of course, it is not so; ther are
born to It; and men get used toanything.
At dinner time you are allowed table-
cloths, and even, under pressure, may ob-
tain napkins; but at breakfast a native
Frenchman and his family eat a meal,
which I will not call a breakfast, off a
bare deal table. The master of the house
wears a robe-de-chambre, and carries a
snuff-box which holds deux sous a priser;
and the lady appears without the frontal
decoration which fits into a box. " Mad-
unie, then, has her breakfast like a meal?"
and home markets, will become bankrupt
and wretcherf, while the industrious and
intelligent shall triumph over every diffi-
culty and find himself in the enjoyment
of peace, prosperity and happiness.
A faithful following of a well-select-
ed plan of general farming will always be
followed by larger profits, at tho close of
a long series of years, than will the fol-
lowing of that system which attempts to
change from one specialty to another, as
the prices of different products vary.
„rVNATUHEí.ftK¿' i grass as the food
For domestic fundas, seems to have de-
signed it for frequent clipping. Can we
not, therefore, make our hay of better
quality, ani at the same time give greater
permanence to the crop, by cutting the
grass oftener than we do ?
Ir an edge tool is so hard as to crumble,
grind it on a dry stone until the edge
turns blue; It will then cease to break and
the temper will generally prove to be
about right. Scythes and axes are some-
times too hard at the edge, but if treated
in this way will give no further trouble.
WnKKEVER good land is in a fair state

sionally, clover Bod plowed In the fall
and exposed to the cold of winter or
plowed immediately after a crop of hay is
taken off', or, still better, If tne crop of
f;rass is plowed under about the time it is
n bloom and left lie until seeding time,
will always yield the best crops of wheat.
By means of the drill wheat is sown
regularly and all the same depth. If the
seed is good there need be no allowance
made for wastage as In sowing by band.
One bushel anaa peck per acre is plenty,
and, if the grains be small, one bushel. It
is planted regularly and ata proper depth,
and it all has an equal chance to grow
and to fasten its roots firmly in the Boil.
By drilling, fertilizers can also be sown

quility, It turns Its attention to other
wrongs, and with a vigor iinreiaxed di-
rects its ponderous blows at the new evils
that threaten the country from the com-
bination of monopolies. And it will suc-

weak men are crying aloud at it in the
old, absurd fashion, it goes straight on in
its mission of reforming another great

How graphically the varied aspects of
tiie leaf picture tho various seasons of
man's life! The tenderness of its bud-

rich golden-green glints on it that comes

ery sunrise brings its fresh, glad hopes,
and every night its holy, trustful calm.
The dark greenness and lush vigor of the

reliance of manhood ; while its fading hues
on the treeB, and its rustling heaps on tiie
ground, typify the decay and feebleness
of old age, and that strange mysterious

the dewy freshness of hopeftil spring:

Shrinkage or Fruit In Drying.
In the letter from Charles Alden, which
was read before the late horticultural
meeting at Rochester, New York, he
states that a bushel of apples weighs
fifty pounds: that tho cost of cutting and
preparing a bushel for drying Is about
fifty cents; and that a bushel will yield
nine dried pounds, two pounds of which
are cores and skins, which when dried,
find a ready market at six cci.ts per
pound for making jelly without suarar
or boiling—a new product. One bushel
gives seven pounds of good dried apples,
which will sell regularly at twenty-cents
l er pound; making, after drying, $1.25
per bushel of apples, with cores and par-
ing. Tomatoes, Deing very watery, yield
ouly three pounds dried per bushel; but
two dried ounces are found to be equal in
substance to a one-quart can, and will
make as much by audiiii
water and stewing
rated tomatoes sell
Poultry and Farming.
Asido from the satisfaction a farmer's
wife takes in her feathered property,
there is profit ill it. The Western Agri-
culturist thinks raising poultry in connec-
tion with miscellaneous farming is one of
tiie most profitable and pleasant depart-
ments of Western farming. For the
amount of capital necessary no kind of
stock raising will give larger profits, but
too many of our Western farmers are
disposed to look upon raising poultry as
rather a small and insignificant business.
The time was when raising chickens was
attended to entirely by the farmer's wife
and children, and even they were often
grudged the little grain they used to feed
the chickens, but then the profits were
not bo great. Eggs would sell for five
cents per dozen, and spring chickens one
dollar a dozen; but now we have a ready
market all over the West for eggs and
poultry at good prices, and we have im-
proved breeds or fowls that are at least
100 per cent, more profitable than the old
barn-yard fowls; with a little attention
a comfortable poultry house and a small
outlay to procure tne improved breeds
every Western farmer could realize e
handsome profit, requiring but little la-
bor. Of course it would not do for farm-
ers to neglect the general farm interests,
or to let anything Interfere with the regu-
lar farm operations. But farming here
in the great West is made up of several
departments, and poultry is one of the
most profitable among them.

TnE earpet worm is a new post Just dis-
covered. It is of dark color, less than half

cárpete will protect them from its rav-

Not long ago, in the Court of Appeals,
a eerialn lawyer of Celtic extraction, while
arguing with oarnestuess his ease, stated a
point, and then prom tied, " And If the
Court piaze, if I am wrong in tliif, I have
another point that is equally conclusivo."
He Is a great farmer who makes compost
heaps; he is a better who manages to have
tiie manure applied as fast as it is made.
Square Cheeses.
Certain parties in New York, who have
manufactured the rectangular cheese for
two or three years past, have been emi-
nently successful, and the cheese has sold
for a better price than that received for
the usual round shape. That a radical
change in the shape of cheese, from round
to square, should meet with opposition
and prejudice, was to lie expected, but we
see no good reason why tho square or rec-
tangular shape should not be as well re-
ceived by consumers as the others. In-
deed, in cutting, it has decided advan-
tages, and there is less waste and the
pieces are in a comely shape for the table.
Again, in putting up for market, square
packages aro much less expensive than
round, while they take up less space in
storing or in being carried to market.
Some factories, however, have entered
upon the manufacturo of square cheeses
and havo failed; or at least, have had
much trouble in pressing, bandaging, and
in the care of tho cliecse, and have, there-
fore, pronounced against it in strong
terms.
So far as we can learn, these troubles
have come from imperfect molds used in
pressing, and from not understanding all
the processes and manipulations which
belong to the treatment of this kind of
ciieese. No one should attempt to maWe
square cheese unless fliily provided with
suitable apparatus and specially instructs
ed in the management of the cheese.—Ru

Perry Davis' I'ain-Killer.—This un-

monials ot its wonderftil efficacy In remov-
ing pains, than any other medicine ever of-
fered to the public. And these testimoniáis
conic from persons of every dogree of intel-
ligence, and every rank of life. Physicians
of the nrst respectability, and perfectly con-
versant with the naturo ot diseases and

most effectual in the line of preparations for
tho cure of Cholera, Cholera Morbus and
kindred bowel troubles now so common

Vinegar Bitters the Greatest Yet.
—A few doses stir tho life-current; slug-
gishness departs, pain vanishes, and after
continued use of the remedy the whole
body glows with a new energy nnd a new
being. Purge the blood and every organ
will perform its function perfectly. The
stomach will be no longer tortured with
Dyspepsia,- the lungs will be free from
Consumption, the livor active, the heart
healthy, tiie brain clear, the nerves braced,
nnd the mind elastic. Use the " Vinegar
Bitters," and purge your blood. Wheth-
er the disease be Fever. Consumption, Dys-
pepsia, Afeetion of the Liver, or Kidneys,
dropsy, Catarrh, Rheumatism, Oout, or
pains or aches of any kind, attack it In its
stronghold, the blood—the fountain of
life—and it will soon surrender and aban-
don the outposts. To do this you must
have the "Vinegar Bitters;" there is
""«¡inpiaint to which the human system
Is liable, that will not yeld to its influence,
and there are thousands which no other
remedial airent will remove.

A Dlirase With n Thonannd Symptom .
Dyspepsia Is the most perplexing ot all human
ailments. Its sympttms are almost Infinite in tbelr |
variety, and the forlorn aud deepondent vlotlms of |
tbe disease ei'ten fancy themselves tbe prey. In
turn, of every known malady. Thil li due, in
part, to the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and In part, aleo, to tbe
fact that any disturbance of the digestive function
neceisarlly disorders the liver, the bowels and the
nervous system, and affects, to some extent, the
quality of tho blood. A medicine .liat, like Hos-
teller's Bitters, not only tones the stomach but at j
the fame time controls the liver, produce! a regu-
lar liablt of body, brace! tbe nerve!, purifies tbe
fluids and "ministers to a mind diseased," Is
therefore the true and only specific for chronic in-
digestion. Such is the operation of this famous
vegetable restorative. It not only ourea dyspep-
sia, but also all concomitants and consequences.
Moreover, it Is invaluable as a preventive of lndl
gestión. No one * bo cliooiea to take half a wine- j
glassful of this agreeable appetiser and stomachic
habitually tbree time! a day will ever be troubled
with oppression after eating, nausea, sour eructa-
tions, or any otber Indication! of a want of vigor
in the dlgeetlve and aisluiliatlng organs. The de-
bility and languor superinduced by hot weather
are Immediately and permanently relieved by tbe
Bitten, and person! who are constitutionally in-
clined to look upon life " a* through agía , dark-
ly," will tie apt to take a brighter and more bop '
ful vlú'. si the situation under tbe genial Influence
of this wholesome medicinal stimulant.

NATIONAL PUBL19I
Dr. J. Walker's California Yin-
«gar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the na-
tivo herbs found on the lower rangos of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without tho use
of Alcohol. Tho question is almost
daily asked, "What is the causo of the
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit
tersI" Our answer is, that they remov.
the cause of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They are tho great
blood purlfler and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and fnvigorator
of the system. Nover before in the
history of the world has a medioino been
compounded possessing tho remarkable
qualities of Tinkoar Bittbbs in healing the
siok of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgativo as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver mid Visceral Organs, iu Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walker's
vinkgau Iíittkrh are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritions, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorifio, Altera-
tive, and Anti-Bilious.
Orateftil Thousands proclaim Yin.
boar Bitters the most wonderful In.
vigorant that ever sustained the sinking
systom.
No Person can take those Bitters
according to directions, and romain long
unwell, providedthoir bones aro not de-
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
ropair.
Bilious. Remittent and Inter-
mittent Fevers, which are so preva-
lent iu the valleys of our groat rivers
throughout the United States, especially
tlioso of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan-
sas, lied, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, lio-
■anoko, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during soa-
so.ns of unusual hoat and dryness, aro
invariably accompanied by extensivo de-
rangements of tho stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow-
erful influenco upon theso various or-
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal ta
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark-
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at tho same time
stimulating tho secretions of tho livcrr
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head-
ache, Pain in tho Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Tasto
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi-
tation ofthe Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid-
neys, and a hundred other painful symp-
toms, are tho offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a hotter guarantee
nf its merits than a lengthy advertise-
ment.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Xeek,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of tho Skin, Soro Eyes, etc.
In theso, as in all other constitutional Dis-
eases, Walker's Vinegak Bitters havo
shown thoir great curative powers in the
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit-
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases
ire caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en-
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-sottoi's, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of Walker's Vis-
hoar Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet-
ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
['astilles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms,
Scald-head, Soro Eyes. Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, IJiseolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatover name
or nature, are literally dug up and earned
out of the system in a short time by the use
of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms,
thelminitlcs will free the system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo-
manhood, or the turn of life, those Tonio
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when-
ever youflnd its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of the systom
will follow.
