On Theory or Comets. Comets are 8urrpos?l to consist of thin Sapors of pases, hvhl together by the mutual tit (met ion of their particles. Like nil Ixulies so circumstanced they necessarily assume a spherical form ; and therefore the common notion that they consist of ti comparatively small and brijrht nucleus, and an immensely long and illuminated tail, evidently derived from its appearance in the heavens, can not for a moment be entertained. That their spherical form, as shown by the re flected light of the sun, would scarcely be discernable at the distance of our earth, even though the comet was as dense as the densest cloud of our atmos phere, would not be surprising; but if their attenuation, as described by Sir .John Ilerschcll, be considered, all won der ceases. HirJ. Ilerschell says "that the most unsubstantial clouds that lloat in the highest regious of our atmosphere, and seem at sunset to be drenched in light and to glow throughout their whole depth as if in actual "ignition, w ithout any shadow or dark side, must !; looked upon as dense and massive bodies, com pared with the filmy and all but spiritual texture of a comet." Owing to this ex treme tenuity of matter the rays of the sun's liirht, as reflected by it, are absolutely invisible to the inhab itants of the earth; but the other rays, penetrating into the center of the comet, are refracted by this powerful lens of twenty millions of leagues diameter into the focus which forms the nucleus of the comet, where there is, perhaps, a greater concentration of rays of light thnn anywhere else not in the body of the sun. Thence this large body of con centrated light, streaming in a narrow path through the remaining half of the comet, in a direction opposite to the sun, forms that splendid ap pendage called the tail. It seems scarcely necessary to point out that this mode of viewing a comet accounts lor the circumstance of the tail being always in opMsition to the sun, whether in ad vancing or receding. Also for the won derful celerity shown by the tail in turn ing round the sun when the comet is in perihelion, and for the rapidity with which the comet darts out its tail after the perihelion passage. It explains, also, on the principle of the aberration of light, the bend which the tails of some cornels have toward the region they have left, also the absence of a solid nucleus, and the non-obscuration of th stars by the body of the comet. If the conjec ture be correct that the nucleus of the comet is near its center, and that the comet extends in every direction round the nucleus to as great a distance, at h ast, as the length of the tail, then it follows that at this present moment the sun is feasting on our comet, and that when it emerges from his embraces, a few days hence, it will have suflcred some diminution of size. Imdon, Iron. How Mike Saved His Friends. The Lawrence (Mass.) American, says that some men who attend horse races and buy pools are sensible enough to keep quiet when they have " got 'cm wrong," as horsemen term it. Others, and they are in the majority, how l, swear and curse the judges or drivers, and w hile it is somewhat amusing to watch these "squealers," as they are vulgarly yet ap propriately termed, it also sets one's wits at work to invent some method by whic h all pool-buyers could be satisfied. JJut occasionally you will find a horsemen with a tender conscience and rare solici tude for his friends, and such a man is the a tlable Mike Carroll, M ho ow ns man' horses and drives them at races. On Wednesday a large number of persons bought . pools on Mike's bay gelding, Essex, and that horse taking the first heat these men Ixmght more pools on Essex against the field". But Mike lost the next two heats, which were won by Emperor, and the pool-buyers looked sad, and as Mike returned from the stable they gath ered around him and complained that their money was on his horse, and that he was "throwing" the race. Here was u rare chance for an exhibition of Mike's solicitude for his friends, and his gener ous heart prompted him to say: "Gen tlemen, I'd afraid my horse is oil, and I don't think I can win this race ; I'm sorry, but I tell you that lam not pulling the horse, and I don't want another driver put in; I'd rather lose a good deal of money, and I'll tell you what I'll do: You're all my friends, and I don't want you to lose any money on me, and I'll take all your pools oil" your hands rather than have any hard feelings." This was fair, and the crowd began to pass in their cards, which Mike willingly accepted with smiles of rare benevolence. This little matter having been adjusted, Mr. Carroll mounted his sulky, and without effort won the next two heats and the race, pocketing the purse, the large odds which his" friends' would have won, and a handsome gift from a man who had a heavy pool at stake?, beside his own pools. Mike played his little game shrewdly, and the greenhorns, though losing noth ing, failed to make a dollar. A few were shrewd euough to hold on to their chances when they saw the ow ner and d iver willing to be so generous to his friends. Cashing a Check. Ox Monday an old gentleman from "Washington County came to this city for the purpose of collecting the interest on two bonds of the Washington Branch Kailroad. He went to the chief e'erk at Camden Station, and the clerk tilled up u check for six dollars, the auiount of in terest due on the bonds for six months. The check was given to the gentleman from Washington County, who carried it to the Treasurer of the company for the purpose of having it signed. It hap pened that when the check was presented for signature the Treasurer was busily engaged in signing a number of others. He took the six-dollar check and laid it upon his desk, but before signing it he crossed the room to get a drink of water. He then returned to "his desk, and sign ing a check handed it to the old gent le lnan, who took the check w ithout look ing at it, and went down-stairs, where he handed it to Mr. Cornell, the ticket-agent, asking him to cash it. Mr. Cornell look the check, examined it, and smilinslv asked the old gentleman when he sup- jHised there would be money enough in the ticket office to cash a check like that. The old gentleman, supposing from Mr. Cornell's manner that he was making sport of him. snatched up the check in a rage and left the depot. An hour or so later several clerks might have been' seen flying around, hunting an old man from "Washington County who had received a check siirned in the railroad oflice. The -old gentleman, however, was not found until yesterday morning, when he visited Camden Station for the purpose of going Home. As lie was going through the depot he was stopped by an excited rail road official, who inquired if he had a cneck on the Baltimore .V Ohio Bauroad The old gentleman said he had, and on opening his pocket-book was astonished to find that the check that he supposed was for six dollars was really one for T f T" , ... e , 1 i i . .explanations loiioweci, anu ii appears that the Treasurer had signed and given him the wrong check. The old gentleman then visited Mr. Cornell and apologized for his rudeness on the previous day. Baltimore Amerimn. Toole, the Comedian. Air English journal has the following anecdote of Toole, the celebrated actor: One of the most humorous of Toole's jokes was made when he was playing with Brough in 'Dearer than Life.' Toole, in a very poor dress, and Brough, in the uniform of the workhouse, were on their way to the stereoscopic com pany, or some other eminent photogra phers, to sit for their portraits in character. On the way, in a fashionable neighbor hood, Toole remembered an acquaint ance who was well known for his snob bish propensities. He was wealthy and kept a fine establishment. Toole and Brough, leaving their cab at the corner of the street, quickly got out and called upon their friend. They knocked at the door. The footman, seeing them, was in clined to $hut it in their faces, but he condescended to give them an opening of a few inches. Anything in our way to day, said Toole, any windows want cleaning?' 'No, no; go away," said the footman. No odd jobs?' said Brough, in his husky voice; 'couldn't we clean the silver,' cos we're relations of the guv' nor's?' ' Go away; I'll send for the po lice, said the footman. Will you, young man?' said Toole. 'I'll have you turned out of this. Do you think we don't, know Tommy ? 'Bavther,' said Brough, looking round at Toole. 4 However, we'll call again,' said Toole. 'Tell the guv'nor his two uncles from the workhouse have called.' On the 'guv' nor's' return home the footman and other upper servants all gave notice; they could not possibly remain in the service of a person whose uncles came to visit him front the workhouse." How Carl Kosa Got Married. Caul Rosa and I'arcpa, antipodal as they were in complexion, stature, and avoirdupois, were supremely harmonious, excellently adapted to associated enter prise. He had never undertaken man agement until after his marriage, and he is indebted to her, it is said, for the in spiration. He is so modest and retiring a little fellow that many persons have wondered how he could summon courage to propose to a woman so much largr than himself. The manner of his proposal is thus re lated: The musical twain were en route to Hartford, by rail, seated side by side; Kosa seeming to be unusually depressed. I'arepa. a close observer, and always sympathetic, noticing his melancholy, in quired the cause. He answered: "1 have been unlucky in this countrj'. For some reason or other I have not been able to keep my friends in America. With the best of feeling and intentions I appear to lose as raokll v as I make them. I think I have not to-day a single friend." "Oh, I am sure you have," responded she, brightly. "Alas! he exclaimed, signing, "1 have not."- " Indeed, you are mistaken, my good Carl. If you have not so regarded me heretofore, I promise you now that I will always be your friend." Kosa s boyish face kindled with de light; he took her gloved hand, and with chivalrous instinct lifted it to his lips. "And, she added, with a charming ingenuousness, "I will be your wife also, if vou like." A fortnight later they were married. She had long been very fond of him, and he of her, and she knew it. But he was so sensitive and self-depreciating that he would not reveal his affection unless he was liberally encouraged. Few men or women have been better partners, sentimentally or financially, than I'arcpa and Kosa. They gave En glish and Italian opera at the Academy in better style than it had ever been given, and notwithstanding the great ex pense to which they had gone they real ized handsomely from the endeavor.

Speaking of planting fruit, the remark is often made that "it is no use to set out trees; they do no good any more in these parts;" and yet it is beyond dispute that there is no country on the face of the globe that in this respect can beat this one. The fact is, we have been spoiled by the very abundance of our riches. Time once was w hen all one had to do was to stick in a tree and leave the rest to nature. Immense crops resulted from this simple plan without any effort on the part of the fruit-grower. No where else could this be done. By the sweat of one's brow is he to labor, not only for his daily bread, but for his fruit also. To one could expect this Eden like dispensation to last. Bugs and blights are sure to find out the fruit trees, and one has to battle w ith them in order to succeed in America as w ell as else where. It is very remarkable that those in daily communication with the soil, as fruit-growers and gardeners, shoultf expect fruit trees to grow without swnc care. Look at the labor re quired to grow the commonest farm crops. Besides the horse labor and the wear and tear of machinery, one has to walk some eighteen miles after the plow in order to get an acre of wheat land ready for sowing, and yet with all this hard work and heavy ex pense the profit is often not more than ten dollars an acre. It is so of all farm and garden crops. Every one knows that the labor is enormous hoeing, digging, working away forever. Fruit culture, to be successful, requires some expense and some labor. But it requires not near as much labor as many other kinds of things do; and in propor tion to the labor the profits are generally greater. Ii is one of the lessons our folks have to learn, that the day when nature took care of our fruits for us, and gave us full crops without trouble or care, is gone by. Fruit-growing takes its stand now with all other things. It will yield good returns with ordinary care. He "who does not yet know this, and calculates to do as his fathers did, had better leave fruit trees alone. Forney's Press. To preserve ihe natural color in dried flowers, lay them when fresh in alcohol for a few minutes they will fade at first but recover their color. USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. Never use soap on oilcloth. Powdered chalk, added to common glue, strengthens it. A glue which will resist the action of water is made by boil ing one pound of glue in two quarts of skimmed milk. Pancake. To one quart sour milk add one teasioonful saleratus, one-half ditto salt, one cupful corn meal and enough shorts to make a not very thin batter. Bake on grifldlc. Every man who works indoors at any trade or pursuit w hich requires a cap on the head to protect the hair from dirt should wear a paper one, instead of one of cloth or other heavy material. The latter so heats the head as to injure the scalp.and in multitudes of cases causes baldness. To Remove Paint Stains from Glass Windows. It frequently happens that painters splash the plate or other glass windows w hen they are painting the sills. When this is the case, melt some soda in very hot water, and wash them with it, using a soft flannel. It w ill entirely re move the paint. Soktkni.no Violin Notes. M. Laborde states, in Les Mondes, that the disagreea ble rasping tone peculiar to some violins may be avoided by placing a small strip of wax on the upper portion of the bridge. J he notes are immediately rendered sweet and soft, and can be suit ed to the ear by regulating the size of the piece of wax. Switches that have lost freshness may be very much improved by dipping them into common ammonia without dilution. Half a pint is enough for the purpose. The life and color of the hair is revived as if it was just cut from the head. This dipping should be repeated once in three months to free the switch from dust, as well as to insure safety from parasitic formations. Harper liaziir. Removing the Teeth ok Children. The operation consists in'simply slipping a rubber ring over the tooth and forcing it gently under the edge of the gum. The patient is then dismissed and told not to remove the appendage, which in a few days loosens the tooth and causes it to fall out. Grown children, who shrink from the shock and pain of the dental nippers, may also have their teeth re moved by means of the rubber, which is a mild form of treatment. Pacific Rural Press. Removing Grease Spots. In taking out grease from clothing with benzole or turpentine, people generally make the mistake of wetting the cloth with the turpentine, and then rubbing it with a sponge or piece of cloth. In this way the fat is dissolved, but is spread over a greater space and is not removed ; the benzole or turpentine evaporates, and the fat covers a greater surface than before. The only way to remove grease spots is to place soft blotting-paper beneath and on top of the spot, w hich is to be first thoroughly saturated with the benzole and then well pressed. The fat is then dissolved and absorbed by the paper, and entirely removed from the clothing. Journal of Chemistry. Use of Thermometers. The differ ences in the ordinary meteorological ob servations are not so much owing to the defects of the thermometer, as a general thing, as to the want of a proper care in observation. To ascertain the true tem perature of the atmosphere the instru ment should never be hung against the walls of a building, as the heat absorbed and radiated will cause a change of sev eral degrees, depending on the nature of the material of the walls and side ex posed to sun or wind, as also the radia tion from the internal heat of the build ing. The best place is under the shade of an open cover or tree, away from any buildings, suspended a few feet above the ground. The fact that the air may be at rest or in motion will not affect the temperature. To ascertain the heat of the direct rays of the sun the instrument should be covered with a coat of lamp black and eitposed to the direct rays of the sun in a sheltered place. 11 extern Manufacturer. Topping Indian Corn. Forty or fifty years ago it was a prac tice extensively in vogue, especially at the North, to top the growing corn by cutting off the stalks near the middle of the ears. Numerous experiments have been made by topping corn, cutting the stalks off near the roots and letting a portion stand until the cars were dead ripe and the leaves and husks dry, all for the purpose of ascertaining which practice will give the largest yield of grain. In most instances the greatest yield has been reported from the corn cut up by the roots soon after the grain had passed into the dough state. There is much difference of opinion and practice among farmers in the management of their corn crops. Some always practice cutting the stalks soon after the kernels have become glazed, believing that such a course lutstens the ripening of the corn, and the removing of the staiks greatly facilitates the process of harvesting, and the green cut, well-cured corn-stalks are much more valuable as w inter forage for cattle than the same would be if left uncut till the corn was fully ripened, as is the practice of some. We presume this is a correct idea. Experiments were recently made by a farmer in Massachusetts to prove that the number of bushels of corn per acre was much lessened where the stalks were cut, compared with portions of the field where the corn was not topped, but all left till the corn was fully ripened. By his experiment the loss in grain must have been greater than the increased value of the green-cut stalks over the perfectly-ripened fodder. But a differ ence of ten or twelve days' time in cut ting the stalks might make a material ditlerence in the value of the grain. We think it the safest way for those farmers that practice " topping" their corn to cut their stalks quite late, rather than a few days too soon. Well-cured corn-fodder is a valuable winter feed for farm stock, and much care should be exercised in saving it in the best possible condition. Many farm ers are quite too negligent in this matter. We have seen the stalks cut quite green, and, many days too soon, bound in large bundles and put up in large shocks, where it remained during all weathers for weeks, or till the corn was harvested ; heavy winds blew over many of the shocks and drenching rains thoroughly wetted them, thus nearly ruining them as fodder. We have seen others cart them directly from the field as soon as bound in bundles, where, from want of room and care, a large portion of them became moldy and nearly rotten and worthless. We know some careful farmers that pursue quite a different course. They do not top their own corn until most of the tops of the spindles are dead and many of the husks have lost their green color. They cut their stalks in fair weather, bind them in small bundles, cart them to the barns and place the bundles astride of poles extending from beam to beam across the barn floor. Here they dry without heat ing or growing moldy. If they have not room enough over the barn floor they make use of hovels or sheds in curing them. Those that practice this method think the' are fully compensated for all extra labor in the enhanced value of the fodder. X. Y. Herald. Hut Air and Cool Rooms. Becatse, when the air of the streets marks 30 or 40J on the Fahrenheit scale, a room overwarmed by a fire can be cooled by opening the windows, the average British householder adopts the ready conclusion that whenever a room feels hot the way to cool it is to let in the external air. Accordingly in these piping times he, and still more of ten she, opens the sunny side of the house, and lets in air of a temperature varying from 100"" to 120" or so. Then, because in a very short time the room naturally enough becomes much hotter than it was, it is considered that the windows are not opened widely enough, and, the supposed error being remedied, a still larger quan tity of hot air is then let in. And so we find materfaaiilias sitting with a very light muslin upon her frame, and a great deal of perspira'ion upon her upper lip, her face the color of an Orleans plum, and her condition of mind to the last de gree dejected, simply because she per sists in disregarding the most elementary principles of natural philosophy. We tell her that if she will open the windows on the shady side of the house only, and keep the others closely shut, her dwell ing will be at least not hotter than the shady side of the street, whereas by her arrangement it acquires the heat of the sunny side. We tell her, also, that if her house be large and the inmates few, she may live. in a delightful state of coolness by only opening the windows at night and keeping them closed during the day. Her house will then be some ten or fif teen degrees lower in temperature than the streets, and convey very much the re freshing effects of a cool bath upon en tering it. We tell her all this, and she is very much interested. At our next visit we find every window open and the house full of red-hot air. "It stands to reason," she says, triumphantly, "that you cannot cool a house without plenty of ventilation." Ihe Lancet. Autumn Work in the Garden. There is no season so favorable as au tumn for making general improvements in the garden. The American autumn weather is superb. Our springs are Bhort, and yet quite longf nough, for our spring weather is miserable; cold winds, and rains, and snow, and mud, and sleet. All uiportant changes in the garden should, therefore, be made in the pleasant, dry weather of autumn. Dig up and put in order every vacant bed, as it will not only facilitate spring work, but do the soil good and have a neater appearance than if left rough and weedy. Above all things do not make a manure-heap or a barn-yard of the front law n. Why people think it necessary to cover their law ns with rot ting, unsightly manure six months in the year is more than w e can imagine. A well-made lawn will not need enriching in a century, for there is nothing taken from it, and it becomes richer and richer every year. The fact is, our old lawns become too rich and humid, and need, if anything, a dressing of lime or ashes. Then grass needs no protection in winter, and even if it did, how very sensible it is to rake oft' every leaf that falls from the trees just the protection and manure that nature provides and put in their place the odious and odoriferous manure that causes every passer to imitate the Levite in the parable! Most people have observed, no doubt, that self-sown seeds, that is, seeds that have dropped from the growing plants o the previous season, sometimes produce the strongest and most healthy plants that bloom the most freely. This is true of several kinds, and particularly of those that suffer under exposure to our mid summer suns. The reason is, that self sown seeds get a very healthy growth in the spring, vegetating as soon as frost is gone, and are good-sized plants at the time we usually put seeds in the ground. They thus mature and flower during the cool weather of spring. The clarkias and nemophilas and annual larkspurs arc noted examples. There are also several varieties of hardy annuals that do well with spring sowing that will bear autumn sowing in the open ground, and reward us with early spring flowers. Sweet alys sunl and white candytuft will give us abundance of white for early cutting if sown in the autumn. In a sandy soil the portulaca may be sown in autumn with good success. Seeds of biennials and perennials, if sown early enough to pro duce strong little plants, will flower the next summer, and pansies and Chinese pinks, though they bloom the first summer if sown in the spring, will make much stronger plants and flower more freely and earlier if voung plants are grown in the autumn. The pansy sometimes suf fers in the winter, but if the young plants are put in a frame and covered with a few loose boards, or a little matting, be ing always sure to give air, they M ill pass the winter in safety. All bulbs and plants that die down to the ground in the autumn may be pro tected by covering the surface of the earth with leaves, or manure, or straw, but plants that retain their leaves during winter w ill not bear this kind of protec tion. A few evergreen boughs thrown over the bed, a little straw between the plants, or some light open covering of this kind, is all they will bear without in jury. We have seen more plants smoth ered and rotted by heavy covering than saved. Tick's Floral Guide. Experiment in Feeding Cjws. Prof. W. O. Atwatek writes concern ing some of the experiments in Germany: Four cows were selected and were fed for a certain period with a ration of a given composition, and then, for another corresponding period, with a ration of different composition. The food and milk were carefully analyzed, and the effect of the food upon the milk noted. Several scries of experiments of this kind were carried on, and so great was the pains taken to secure accuracy, and so large was the amount of analytical work done in the laboratory, that the hard labor of three or four chemists, during several months, was required for each series. Similar experiments have been made at Moeckern and elsewhere to determine the effects of different amounts of food on the amount and quality of the milk produced. Some farmers claimed that it was most economical to feed the richest fodder, and so much as the animals would eat, while others believed that, for instance, when green clover was fed, the cow would eat more than she could util ize economically, simply ' because it tasted good." The general results of these experi ments show that the composition of the dry substance of the milk, that is to say, the relative amount of butter (fat) and casein that it contains, is not essentially affected bv changes in the composition of the foefder. By feeding a ration, the total amount of the milk, and likewise the richness, or the percentage of dry matter that it contains, maybe increased up to a certain point. But, as soon as the ration reaches a certain maximum, further increase of the food is without effect on the quality, and exercises only a slight effec t on the quantity of the milk produced. The practical inference from these ex periments is that, with milk cows, neither the richest fodder nor the largest quan tities of food arc always the most profit able. On the ether hand, too meager fodder is still worse. Here as elsewhere, a fair mean will be found best. As re gards the effect of different foods upon the composition of the milk, the dairy man may not hope by variation in the fodder to change a "butter cow" to a "cheese cow." For quality of milk he must select proper breeds; for quantity good milkers: and feed well but not over richly. X. Y. Observer. Hints to Housekeepers. There are three things which a house wife should never forget to see that her family have plenty of sunshine, pure air, and a wholesome and varied diet, as the health of her family depends in a great measure upon them. Sunshine and fresh air are in many localities easily obtained, but the food question is one that requires more thought and labor. Food contain ing much phosphorus is best for students and business inen,and for all who use their brain, for " thought, even in the manual exercise of writing, exhausts the vital fluid with incredible rapidity." Graham bread, oat meal and fish arc the best food for such persons in fact, for all persons, as they are equally good to restore the tissues, and if growing c hildren use them daily their teeth will be stronger arid less likely to decay. Many cooks use soda to excess, forget ting that grease and soda combined make t soap. " Soda or saleratus should never be used unless bread or pastry is sour, or unless you add to the flour before mixing a projKrtionate quantity of acid, such as cream of tartar. If you add soda alone to perfectly sweet material it has no more effect in making it rise than so much salt. When using soda, be care ful to use only enough to neutralize the acid. There are those who consider the use of soda as benefi cial to health. They make a serious mis take ; the free use of soda for a length of time will result in an impaired diges tion." For recipes which call for a level teaspoonful of cream of tatar and a half caspoonful of soda I occasionally use one heaping teaspoonful of baking pow der. If the baking powder is good it will be sufficient. Eggs and yeast are healthful and pure, and should be used to raise all kinds of bread, muffins, etc. Some will say, lean not afford eggs for such purposes. Can you afford to lose your health and pay doctors' bills? Bread should be queen of every kitch en. It should not be neglected for an instant after it is ready to make up, and those having charge of it should notfor getjhat bread sweetened with soda will not have the same kind of sw eetness that it had before turning sour. As bread rises slightly while baking it should not be quite light enough when put into the oven. I know what I am saying, for I have had much experience in this branch of cookery. It makes me sad to happen in at a neighbor's at a meal-time and see a family eat fried meat, hot soda biscuit, or bread so light that all its sweetness is lost, even if it is not absolutely sour. It is the first duty of every woman who has charge of domestic affairs to see that good, wholesome food is regularly pre pared for her family. Cor. llural Xetc Yorker. Sponge Gingerbread.

A sallow or yellow color of the 6kin, or yellowish-brown spots on the face and other parts; dullness and drowsiness, with frequent headache, dizziness, bitter or bad taste in the mouth, dryness of the throat, and internal heat; palpitation of the heart, in many cases a dry, teasing cough, with sore throat, un steady appetite, sour stomach, with a raising of the food, and a choking sensation in the throat, sickness and vomiting, distress, heavi ness, or a bloated and full feeling about the stomach and sides, which is often attended with pain and tenderness; aggravating pains in the sides, back or breast, and about the shoulders; colic, pain and soreness through the lHJwels, with heat; constipation of the bowels, alternating with frequent attacks of diarrhea; piles, flatulence, nervousness, cold pos of the extremities, rush of blood to the head, with symptoms of apoplexy; numbness of the limbs, especially at night; cold chills, alternating with hot flashes, with dullness, low spirits, unsociability and gloomy forebod ings. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin it is so irritating and poisonous that it pro duces discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. Only a few of the above symptoms will be likely to be present in any ease at one time. Jtatiottal and successful treatment. A large variety of diseased conditions are produced by liver complaint. By curing the disease of the liver we remove the cause, and thereby radical!; cure, not only the liver complaint, but all the various other diseased conditions produced by it. It is generally the custom to take strong liver stimulants for the liver complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms have been diligently searched to procure the most drastic and poisonous purgatives, in order to produce a powerful effect upon the liver, ami rouse the lagging and enfeebled organ. These medicines arc given freely and in large doses, which keep the liver in an excited condition while under their influence. This system of treatment is on the same prin ciple as that of giving a weak and debili tated man large portions of brandy to ena ble him to do a certain amount of work. Every intelligent person can readily see or imagine the condition the man would be in when the work was done and the brandy withheld; and it is just so with theliver. When the stimulant is withheld, the organ rapidly relapses into a more torpid or sluggish and weakened condition than before. What, then, is wanted? Evidently medicines that, while they arouse the liver" to action, will do it, not by an irritating and stimulating effect, as is produced by a dose of great, re pulsive, sickening, drastic- pills, calomel, blue mass, mandrake or podophyllum, but by a ton ic invigorating and strengthening influence upon that organ. Medicines arc wanted that, while they cause the bile to How freely from the liver as that organ is toned into action, will not overwork and thus debilitate it, but will, when their use is discontinued, leave the liver strenrthenetl and healthy. Such medi cines I am happy to have been able to discov er and introduce to the atlUctcd for their re lief and cure. As a remedy for all the various manifestations of disease resulting from " Liver Complaint," as it is usually termed, and as a blood purifier Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is positively unequaled. By it the liver and stomach are (hanged to an active, healthy state, the appetite regulated and restored, "the blood and becretions thor oughly purified and enriched, and the whole system renovated and built up anew. Its action is mild, yet ftositiee and lasting. It does not simply palliate the disease and re lieve H for the time being, but it produces radiral and lastina Ixivjit. There are, however, some peculiar consti tutions on which the Discovery will not prove sufficiently laxative to unclog the bowels, and instead of taking it in larger doses than ' two teaspoonfuls four times a day, if that quantity docs not move the bowels twice in twenty-four hours, take from one to three of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets each day, or just sufficient to produce the desired relaxation, which should -fall short of a ca thartic effect. In fact, the combined use of the Pellets and the Discovcrj'rort the first, in the mild doses which I recommend, will be found most effective in arousing the secretion of the liver and subduing congestion or in flammation of that organ." Do not use nnj other laxative or cathartic with the Dis covery, as none other is so w ell calculated to work" in harmony with or assist the Dis covery in its congenial operation. Other ca thartics will frequently counteract and inter fere with, or neutralize the power and good effects of, the Discovery; they should not therefore be used. These little Purgative Pellets, or Sugar-Coated, Root and llerbcl Juice, Anti-bilious Granules, on the other hand, are so compounded as to harmonize with and assist the Discovery. Discovery and Pellets are sold by druggists the world over. A Cl'KE OF J.IVER DISEASE. IUtsk, Tex., Mav 10. 18T3. Dr. R. V. Pierce Dear Sir: My wife last year at this time was confined to her bed with Chronic Liver Disease. I had one of the best doctors to sec her, and he gave her up to die, when I came upon some of your medicine. 1 bought one bottle and commenced using it. She then weighed 82 pounds, now she weighs 140 pounds, and is robust and heart-. She has taken eight bottles in all, so you see I am an advocate for vour medicines. Wm. Meazel. a woxdek to herself. Tavktown. Delaware Co., Ohio. March 'JO. 1S73. To Dr. R. V. Pierce Your Discovery needs only a fair trial, and it w ill do all you recom mend it to do and more too. When I w as fif teen I caught cold, and for tw enty-eight years 1 have been a perfect wreck of disease, and all the medicines and doctors' bills have run up at times to 200 and :00, and never any bet ter, but worse, when I gave up all hopes last spring of living the summer through. I re ceived one of vour Account Books, and told my husband, after reading it, that it was too late to trv further, but he said it w as never too late. "We went and bought two bot tles, and I found it was helping me very much. Since 1S41 I was troubled with Catarrh and Sore Throat, and was almost en tirely deaf in one ear, and my voice was as dullas could be. There was constant pain in mv head. Xow my head is as sound as a dollar, mv voice is clear and I have used ten bottles of" vour Discovery. It has cured me of Catarrh, Sore Throat, Heart Disease, Spine Affection, and Torpid Liver. My liver was very bad. Mv skin was rough. When I put my"hand on mv body it was like fish scales. Vow it is smooth and soft as a child's. In conclusion, I will say I have Ijcen well for three months. I am a wonder to myself and friends. This is but an imperfect statement; half has not been told. Yours with respect, Hester Lackey. READ THE FOLLOWING FROM THE NOTED SCOLT, " BUFFALO BILL."

If a railroad director were lashed to every locomotive there would be fewer railroad accidents, and if doctors had to take their own physic before administer ing it to their patients fewer people would be poisoned. Dr. Joseph A alker, of California, took this course when he first compounded the famous Vinegar Bitters which now rank as an inestima ble household remedy in all parts of the United States. He healed himself with this specific before he offered it to the world. He introduced it with a simple statement of the manner in which he had discovered its vegetable ingredients and been cured, while wandering, sick and poor, among the California tribes. He stated what the preparation had done for himself, and a few sufferers from dyspep sia, biliousness, rheumatism, lung dis eases, and many other prevalent disorders believed him, tried the new restorative, and were more than satisfied with the results. In this way the sale of the Vine gar Bitters began, and we mention the fact as an evidence that, in this age of in telligence and inquiry, nothing that really valuable to mankind can prove a pecuniary failure even though it may lac k the help of capital, and have to fight its way against powerful opposing inter ests. Within two or three months after its introduction the article became self supporting, and it now yields a magnifi cent annual revenue. Wilhoft's Fever and Ague Tonic.
