An Old English l'oslboy. "The orthodox Ret-up of tlie regular down-the-roivl Ul pt-loy, when on duty, consisted, as I have said, of blue or yel low j;uktt, a very ?hhiy whito haf, Lil'! cord breeches; tnp-lxots Mith a leather shield on the ri?ht le to piolcet it Irom t!e rubbinsr against tlio ioi, and a short ;;wblp lojirfullT nd wonderfully made, fttitl which to le duly a;pn:i:tcd should ' N sptti lit all event it i beyond my ""cWeriptive powers. I had almost for gotten ciio article, which was m-t eon- . )-ciciitiously and invariidily adhered to by the postboy it was the necktie snowy white I never lmcmlier to have Fcen a . colored one. It went twice round his neck, was of considerable depth, not un like the ties the late Lord l.rou.shaiii used to wear, well up to the chin, without any collar; it was tied in a mysterious !ort of litile knot, but where the. end wcut to there was nothing to indicate. I have an idem they were passed down his back. The choker altogether you nnu.ht imagine was a jack-towel tw isted round the "jolly jiostboyV neck. A yellow waistcoat with small peafl buttons completed the - fine-weather toggery, but in ense ithould rain on the return journey wiih the horses the poMboy strapped on to the spring of the jxlch.iise a hng drab coat wilh white bone button-. Thus (.tiuipped, and with a large shawl in the pocket of his coat, he considered himself prepared to meet all weathers hail, rain, or snow. The undress, or half dress, of the postitoy, who was waiting for the " firt turn-out," when he might Ixsccn at the yard entrance look ing out for any josting job up or dow n the road, consisted of a long mikh k-l'rock of the finest white linen, reaching from his chin nearly down to his heels, or, at all events, below the top of his loots. The object of this w as to keep the w hile cords and jacket clean ; and directly a job apicaretl in hight the long frock was oil", and in an incredibly short lime the J. P., or "jolly iostloy," appeared in the sad dle, riding his horse out of tliC yard, fol lowed by a helper with the other horse to put to. Of all classes of persons I know of none that more rigidly adhered to their style of dress than the postboy, except the Quakers, irreverently called by C'obbett "unbaplized Luttonlcss blackguards." IS'olMMly, I suppose, ever saw a postloy in the days of real postboys in a coat, a pair of trousers, or a colored necktie; and no. bodj- I supMse, ever knew a jxistboy who arrived at man's estate, or at least pro gressed ?o far as to be called a postman. Why they always remained boys to the end of their lives I never understood, but I have known several of them, certainly over sixty, who were still called postboys. 1 know but one living at the present da', and he is still called a postboy, but must, I am sure, Iks over seventy. Why, on the other hand, are the h Iter carriers always called postmen? Many of thein arc now in fact so young thai they are mere loys, but they are never c alled so. What the education of the postboy was, or how his earliest boyhood days were spent previous ly to arriving at the dignity of the blue or yellow jacket, 1 do not quite know, but I have a stroiigMipicin that many of them qualiiicd by riding the leaders in the coai lies when it lcc.ame necessary to put on extra pairs, either on a hilly road or in consequence of heavy loads, etc. I think all that I have wen olllciating in that ca pacity were actual ttana fide Imivs. They never mounted the regul ar po.-tboy dress, anil were probably helpers about the sta bles and inn yard, and looked after the poor old cripples who worked as the ex tra leaders in the coach. Land and Water. Horses finding the Way Koine. In a recent Tribune appears a clipping from the Turf, Fitld and Fa nit, giving an account of a party of "Surveyors saved by a horse.". , As an evidence that such intelligence is Siot confined tolhe 'Tndian ponies," the follow ing will be interesting to lovers of that noble bea.-t in general ; In the fall of 1S(1 we w ere campaigning in Southwestern Missouri; and, on a very cold evening, it became my duty to re lieve the chain of pickets in our front. I started from camp with about seventy mounted men, alxntt an hour before dark; made my circuit, dropping the new men and taking up the old ; and when all had been rclieed it had become quite dark, and a slight snow began to fall and the w ind to increase in force. We were now about a mile and a half from camp, if we were to follow the picket line tiil we struck the road, but, in a di rect line, not more than half to three-quarters of a mile; and, wishing to get into quarters before the storm became severe, 1 concluded to take a short cut for home, which, like many an attempted short cut, proved a very long one; for, riding long enough to have gone several times the dis tance, it became apparent that we did not know where we were, and I was forced to acknowledge that I was not a very good leader. In turn several of my mtn w ho thought they foul 1 do Intlcr tried to lead us; but all t a no purpose. - It was now nearly eleven o'clock, snowing and blowing a gale, wilh a fair prospect of our having to remain out all night. I had noticed sn unusual fretfulness and indisposition to submit to my guidance on the part of my mare, and it Hashed upon my mind like an inspiration: Perhaps she c an take ii to camp! We had dismounted in a little ravine and built a fire. I gave the order to mount, and told the boys that I was going to try IJetsy and see if she did not know more than all of ns. We moved out of the ravine, and after getting well out on the prairie I gave her the re in. As soon as she realized her freedom 1 found her bearing oil" to the left, and in alout ten or. fifteen minutes we saw a tire which, on Hearing it, proved to be the one we had ju-t left. She showed no inclina tion to go ir.b the ravine, but shirked along the edge rtr.ti! she reached a narrow point. This she leaped, and soon struck into a brisk trot; and in twenty minutes more we were sate in camp, much to the joy of all, for it was feared that we had been bu.-Jicd. On several occasions subsequently I tested llctsy's intelligence, and always with the lest results. Once, having re turned at evening from a long scout, I found camp had been moved, an 1 I could pet information only as to the direction the regiment had taken. After about three hours' bridi ride Fttsy brought me, not only to camp, but to my own company, and never stopped till she stood in front of my tent. We have frequently heard physicians, practicing in an early clay, relate how cer tain of their . horses proed unerring in their ability to make a bee line (a straight line) over the prairies for home in the darkest night- Facts illustrating this are too abundant to be denied. All horses do not possess this sense or power, but many of them do. There is no.hiug improbable or remarkable about the alove narrative. An Intrepid Officer. Tearing madly over the many car tracks on the Ijowery came a runaway, bridle less horse. On and on he came with tail streaming over the dasher and mane erect, and every inch of progress seemed to in crease the w ild, headlong speed of the an imal. The frightened people w ere fleeing . from the street and seeking places of safety and refuge, only to emerge again in the - twinkling of an eye and g:ize in open mouthed wonder after all danger had passed. All of a sudden a thrill of horror ran through this watching crowd, and every man and woman there involuntarily prayed "God help him." Before the words were formed the man who sprang frcm. the sidewalk had hold of the horse's mane and quick as lightning he changed his grip to the ears. The animal was as- tonished; he almost stood still; and before he had time to start again his plucky captor was on his feet and had him, all trembling with lather, firmly by the fore lock. Then the people gathered around, and our hero, whose coat was ripped all the M ay up the back, and whose panta- ' loons would hardly hang together, an swered the remonstrance of an old gentle man, who was angry at being so badly frightened, that he 'might have been 'killed,' by saying: "It was my duty, sir; if I had not stopped the horse he might have killed a dozen people!" This man is a policeman, but where he belong could not be ascertained. So it win In; seen that these much-abused ollicials are f around sometimes when they are wanted, notwithstanding the cheap wit and ire qucnt slurs of the pantomime, variety unci neero-minstrcl performer. N. Y- J" The 'ovembcr Elections. tW The Albany Journal says the re sults of Nov. 2 are generally received as n earnest of a grand Republican victory in the Empire Slate next year. V2f" The dimensions of the great Dem ocratic victory in Maryland are manifest from the fact that, excluding the ba Mot et u lied vote of Baltimore, the total I'emo cratie majority in the State was but 2-0. t2fIf Uncle Sammy Tilden finds any thing to rejoice over in the news of a re duced Democratic vote in the State-at-large he's entirely welcome to it. Put New York dow n for a Republican major ity for the Presidential candidate of iyG. JWw York Commercial. tm The tidal wave of lat year is sweeping back, and the Democracy every where are carried away by its under tow. The Republicans can now enter upon the Presidential year of 1ST( with the prestige of victory and the mo.-t auspicious omens of success. It will be theirown fault if they fail to conquer. Detroit Tribune. 12?" Altogether 'he results of these No vember e lections may be accepted as evi dence of the determination of the people not to trust the Democratic party any longer. They have had all they want, and more too, of Democratic rule, and they have returned to their first love, satisfied to trust the only party that has ever been true and faithful to their interests. 1'ilts burgh Commercial. 3f In response to a serenade tendered him at the Washington celebration of the Republican victories of .Nov. 2 Presi dent Grant said: "Gentlemen I am very glad to meet you on this occasion, and to congratulate you on so good a cause for rejoicing to the-, entire country as the elections of last Tuesday. While the Re publican majorities were not great, they were sufiicicnt to accomplish the pur pose. The 'rag-baby' has been entirely suppressed, and the people now know what kind of money they are to have in the future, and I think we have an assur ance that the Republicans will control this Government for at least four years longer." tW Taken as a whole, yesterday's elec tions arc a pronounced "Republican tri umph, and more than counterbalance the reverses of last year. If the latler was a tidal-wave that swept away much that the Republican party had accumulated in a long lease of power, its present successes are a tidal-wave that completely drowns all the hopes recently aroused in the De mocracy and leaves it more utterly pros trate than before. Thus crowned with vic tory, we approach the great contest of next year, and, if only the promise of ;jood management held out during the etirrent yearlw fulfilled, the result next November will lie a most emphatic triumph for Re publican principles. Phil. Tilcgraph. C2T The meaning of the elections is simply this: The people have notlost con fidence in the Republican party and do not trust the Democracy. They still Ikj lievc that the administration of the Gov ernment is safest in the hands of the party that, saved it. If they do not approve of all that the Republican party has done, they still believe it t le loyal in principle ami honest in purpose, which is more than they can be made to believe of the Democratic party. The Democratic vic tories of last year were political scratches were freaks of popular caprice the Re publican triumphs of this year are the un mistakable expression of a well settled purpose to keep the Republican party in power, at least for the present. They vir tually settle the next Presidential election. Indianapolis Journal A Hopeless Task. The New York Tribune, which has been trying to train up the Democracy in the way it should go, throws up the job in despair and declares that its " stupidity is adamantine." Nothing penetrates it. When the people, rising up against the degeneracy, the cor ruption and greet! and recklessness of the party in power, give to the Democrats, as tlicy did last fall," the opportunity to show tlieir capacity and their disposition to do better, the occasion is frittered away and the opportunity wustcil by some such trcnicn-' clous blunder as was made in Ohio and Penn sylvania. It was the same elsewhere. Here in Chicago, when the people roe en mattae to stem the fearful title of corruption which was w helming cvety- interest, where stood the Democratic party? In the hope of gaining some petty advantage it boldly sided with gamblers, thieves and public plunderers, and " unanhnously" indorsed them. It was no use that their veteran leaders, like Thomas Iloync, Judge Miller, Dr. Davis and oth ers, protested. Thieves and scoundrels were indorsed by the Jellersonian Club, and known to Ihj such. Men fresh from plundering the county treasury were fondled in the arms of Dennx-racy, and it recognized as its leaders the scum of the city. if the ballot-box has been tampered wi!l, the Democratic party, as reorgan ized, must share the responsibility, for it refused to interfere for the protection of honest voters. If "thieves and scoun drels" are returned to the County Board, the "Jetrs," be it remembered, pro nounced them " good and faithful serv ants." In short, the Democratic party here is as it is everywhere else the same as it was before and during the war. It has learnci nothing and forgotten nothing a fact w hich it demonstrates w henever it has an opportunity. Chicago Journal. The Returning Tide. tiAPT year the Democrats carried the State of "New York by ou,:jl majority. Now their majority will not much exceed 10,000, and the Republicans have both houses of the Legislature. Last year the Democrats carried Penn sylvania by a majority of 5,70. Now the- lose Uie State by about 15,000. Last year the Democrats carried Massa chusetts by 7,0:V2. Now they lose the State by several thousand. In the Democrats of 'Wisconsin elected Gov. Taylor by 13,412. Now he is probably defeated ior re-election ly ovef !,000. - n T-i the Republicans of Minnesota elected their Governor by 5,rlfl. Now thev elect their Governor by not less than 10.OO0. Two years ago the Democrats, by as suming all sorts of false names and dis guises, carried the State of Illinois. Now the recent result at county elections shows that the Republican party is stronger than ever. In 1S73 the Democrats of Ohio elected old Bill Allen Governor by 817 majority. Last month he was defeated for re-election by alxnit f,XK). It is very evident that the people are waking up to the fact that next year there will be a Presidential election, and they are preparing to frustrate the schemes of the pro-rebel Democracy to get possession of the Government which they treacher ously tried to destroy. Chicago Journal. How It Was Done in Mississippi. A cour.EsroNDENT of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Jackson, tells how the thing was done in Mississippi. There was universal apprehension of an outbreak, and a great many families were sent to Yicksburg, that city having been so garrisoned with police and special offi cers as to be considered safe. All the whites were armed, and all the negroes knew it. There was a general and polite under standing that too nuch Republicanism meant blood ; everyone knew that a single spark of trouble w ould kindle a war, and everyone was careful accordingly. When a negro approached the polls with a Re publican ticket in his hands he was met with bantering entreaties to change it for a Democratic "ticket, and with the memory of Clinton fresh in his mind he was ordi narily easy to convert. A favorite trick was to bet with a negro that he was afraid to vote the Democratic ticket bet him two dollars; and pay him the money after he had won It, as he generally did whether he wanted to or not. As it was in Jack son so it was all over the Stattvcxcent in some places where chatfwas discarded to make room for open threats, which served qually well. The State was carried by the Democrats as much by terrorism as though they had driven the colored men from the iolls at the bayonet's point. inUr-Octau. , .. ... .. How the Law Was Administered by a Colorado Justice. Jim Barker, a well-know n character of the mountains, who.-e latch friu.r hangs out at the brad of Bine Lizzanl gulch, Was duly elected a Justice of the Peace lor that section of El Paso County at the Sep tember election, and Mike Irving, a com rade of Jim's, was empowered ns the exec utive ofTiccr of his court. Last week Jim convened his first court, to hear the com plaint of Elder Slater, a traveling mission ary, who had caused the arrest of Zimri Bowles, a resident of the fot-hills, ujxm a charge of stealing the Elder's one-eyed mule. Zimri had leen arretted by Irving, the Constable, while in the act of easing the descent of the mule down Mr.d Gun .Mountain, with his lariat fastened to the tail of the animal. The proof against Zimri was conclusive. Accordingly the Justice, after much legal perplexity of mind, proceeded to sentence Zimri to one year's confinement in the Territorial Pen itentiary, which sentence he concflided as follows: "An' now, Zim, seem' as I'm alKnit out of tilings to eat, an' as you will have the coat to pay, I rec kon you'll belter take a turn among the foot-hills w ith your ritle, an' sec if you can't pick up some meat before night, as you can't ttart for the Big Canon " before mornin'." Which marketing duty was performed bv Zim bringing in one blacktail fawn and a rab bit within the time prescribed as a post script to the sentence. On the following morning the Constable mounted upon his broncho, accompanied by the prisoner astride of the mule which the Elder had kindly loaned him, started through the mountains tor the Penitentiary, where they arrived the second clay out, their animals loaded with a deer, two antelope, and a small cinnamon bear, which they sold to the Warden of the Prison. After dividing the money the Constable pro ceeded to hand over Zimri on the follow ing mittimus, which is carefully preserved and may be seen in the possession of the Warden : To the bed man of the Colorado pri.on, down ut the foot of the Hig Canyon on the Arkansas Take. Notice: Zimri I?oul, who comes with this here, Stole Elder Slater's one-eyed mule, an it wa nil the mule the Elder had, and I sentenced Zim olticially to one year in the Colorado prison, and hated to tb"j it, seein as Zim once stood by mc like a man when the Injuns had me in a tight place, an nrter I sentenced Zim to one year for stealing the Elder's mule, my wife, Liz zy, who is a kind o tender-hearted critter, Come and leaned her arm on lay shoulder an says she: " Father, don't forget the time whcn Ziin, witli his rifle, covered our cabin from Granite Mouutain, an saved us from the Arapahoe, an, father, I have heard you tell that after you was wounded at Sand Creek, an helpless, it was Zimri's rille that halted the Indian that was creeping in the grass to scalp you." An then there was a tear splash led upon the sentence and I changed my mind sudenly, as follows: see ing ns tlio "mule had but one eye, an wernt nior'n half a mule at that, you can let Zim go at about six month, an sooner if the In juns shod get ugly, an, furthermore, if the Elder sliud quiet down an give in any times, I will pardon Zim out instanter. Witness my ollieial hand and seal, James Bakkek, J. P, In Tllne l.i.zard Gulch, El Paso County, in the Territory. The Warden, after informing Uie Con stable that lie could not receive the pris oner upon the commitment ottered, pro ceeded to explain that he should have given a bond in the sum of about $:00 to appear at the District Court. Accord ingly, the Constable withdrew with his prisoner, when it was agreed between them that Zimri should give the Constable his bond for the amount mentioned by the Warden. Tins was accomplished by Zimri subscribing his name to an old re plevin lKnd culling for $:J00. found among the papers transmitted to the Con stable by his predecessor. Then, as the Constable intended returning by way of Pinon Mountain, to examine a bear den where he had seen a couple of cubs play ing last spring, he gave the bond to Zimri to take back to the Justice. But Zimri, while on his return, traded the is:0o lond to a mountain squatter, just in from Mis souri, for a horse, saddle and bridle, and the prisoner is believed to be, at this time, a dashing hunter on the plains. liocky Mountain 2 etc. A Souvenir of Hans Christian Andersen. As soon as the mourners and friends had left the church where Andersen lies buried numlers of poor people rushed in to gather the flowers and leaves w hich had fallen from the collin, in memory of the dear old man. Perhaps the most touch ing incident of this never-to-be-forgotten day was that of a poor woman who, sim ply dressed in a peasant's garb, timidly advanced toward the altar, and, after eagerly, but in vain, searching all around for a flower or fallen tw ig, murmured sad ly, half aloud, half to herself : "Too late they're all gone," as the tears rolled clown her cheeks. " Do you want a flow er, my gxxl moth er?" asked a bystander, moved to pity at the woman's evident distress. "Ah, yes. good sir! My boy at home will break his heart if I don't take him just a leaf. You see, fsir, that dear de parted angel often came to see him when lie was ill, two winters ago, and told him a story, and the doctors say those beauti ful stories saved his life; and he's my only one, sir, and he just worshiped dear An dersen, and he docs miss him so terribly, and cries now the old gentleman is dead, that I promised to bring him a flower, as I heard his coffin was to have some on it. lie is lame and can't come himself." "Take this one. I picked it up from the spot as it fell." " Ah, you arc good, clear sir!" And the woman tenderly kissed the little sprig as, reverently and gratclully laying it in her bosom, she turned away. Teaqile Bar. SerTlces for a Bashful Lover. The Glens Falls (N. J). Mettenger de scribes a recent suit at law for services rendered in that vicinitv, as follows: " A very curious and interesting case at law has j'ust closed at Thurman, before James C. Pollard, Justice, and jury. The defendant was a widower desirous of se curing another helpmeet or wife, but being of rather bashful and retiring disposition, with a very limited acquaintance in soci ety, he was prone to seek assistance of others to effect the much-coveted object of his heart. According to the evidence given it appears that the defendant on one or more ex'casions requested the plaintitt to speak w ilh a certain lady of his (the plaintiff's) acquaintance on the subject of a marriage with defendant. Anil defend ant averred in his sworn statement that he told the plaintiff: 4 It he could do him any good be would see it made, good with him in ilue time.' The plaintiff, testifying in his own lehalf, affirmed that he had con sumed in all five and a rjuarter days in going to see the lady and her connections to bring a favorable influence to liear for the defendant, and that he charged the de fendant four dollars jer day for these serv ices. Plaintiff also affirmed that he did not see the latly in eiuestion but once, and was only in consultation with her and another lady (not particularized) about three hours. The Court considered the price charged exorbitant, and incompati ble with the services performed, and that no services actually for the defend ant's benefit had been rendered. The matter was left with thejury, who returned in less than five minutes with the verdict of 4 No cause for action.' The judgment against the plaintiff was $-3.46." - Ax Atlanta youth, says the Constitu tion, gotten up in the latest style, left a West End car and tripped across to a house where a little boy was sitting on the front steps, whittling with a new Barlow knife.

In many instances when the contents of flower-pots are sprinkled daily w ith water the soil at the middle w ill become hard and dry. When the ball of earth becomes dry It takes water a long time to penetrate it, and surface waterings do not accom plish the object. In this case set the pot in a pail of water and let it soak until the earth is thoroughly wetted through. If proper care in the respects above men tioned fails to induce a proper grow th, then the plant must be repotted with fresh earth and have a portion of its top cut back. Irregularities in shape must be corrected from time to time by pinching off the shoots which may start to grow out of place. The red spider is quite adverse to moist ure; the green fly, however, likes it, but may be destroyed so readily by tobacco smoke that only neglected plants will suf fer from this cause. The mealy-bug is so large that it may be; easily picked off. Watering must Ihj properly attended to, and while the plant must not suffer from lack of moisture the roots must not be kept saturated with water. The sound of the pot when struck by the knuckles is epuite different when the ball of earth is wet from w hat it is w hen dry. This and the lagging look of the plant will indicate that water is needed. A little practice will soon enable one to anticipate the wants of the plant and to supply water at the proper time. N. Y. Herald. now Deep in the Fall. We cannot conceive - of a cheaper method of improving lanel than by con stantly increasing the depth of the soil with the plow. To turn over a shallow soil deeply, throwing a poor subsoil to the surface upon which small grain is sown, will seldom prove tc be advanta geous to the first crop, and frequently it is quite injurious. Many a farmer has tried deepening his soil in this manner with results which l'orevever afterward have made him an advocate of shallow plow ing. While no one will deny that a deep soil is better than a shallow one, there are many who cannot be persuaeled to attempt deeper plow ing than usual for fear of in juring it. Of course, if a man has plenty of manure to spread over the poor subsoil brought to the surface when inverting the soil to an unusual depth he can remedy any deficiency in fertility; but this is not always to be had where a greater depth is desirable. We have ourselves inverted a poor, thin soil to the depth of a foot or more and then allowed it to remain idle for a vear, thereby permitting the poor subsoil brought to the surface to become mellowed and sweetened, as it were, by the rains and frosts of a season, after w hich it was occupied with crops, and the results were highly satisfactory. But as there are few farmers who would think they could nflbrd this system of deepening their land, we would recom mend reaching the same end by easy stages, say one or two inches every- year or two, until a good depth is secured. Land that is to be sown with grain or planted next spring may be plowed with advan tage this fall, by putting the plow down an inch or two clceper than ever before and bringing that amount of the lower soil to the surface. This will be acted upon by the frosts and rains of winter, until it be comes thoroughly pulverized ami in a condition to be incorporated evenly with the older-stirred soil in the spring, and with great benefit to the succeeding crop. The next time the land is unoccupied in the fall let this deepening process be re peated, ami pursue the system until a depth of one foot or more has been se cured. We have millions of acres of old culti vated land which has never been plowed to a depth exceeding six nnches, and as a result exhausted fertility and light crops, unless manure is frequently ap plied ami in large quantities. Ko man who has ever cultivated plants of any kind upon a soil twelve to twenty-four inches deep wilneedto le told how much better it is than one of six inches depth, either in wet or dry weather. We have tried this deep plowing upon various kinds of seils, from a light sand to a heavy, stiff clay, but neyer w ithout per manent beneficial results. The only clan ger to be guarded against is in attempting to deepen too rapidly where there is no manure spread upon the poor subsoil brought up; consequently it is best to proceed slowly, going down an inch or two at a time "and at intervals of two or three years.

Only a few of the above-named symptoms are, however, likely to be present in any one ease. There Is no disease more common than Catarrh, and less understood by physicians. ir. soe's catarrh remeoy Is bevond all comparison the best prepara tion for Catarrh ever discovered. Under tlie influence of its mild, southing and healing properties tlie disease soon yields.

This is an expression that we hear from doctors when they are in doubt about the nature of the disease of their patients. The country seems to be tilled with such cases, and they arc trying first one remedy and then another, hoping in vain to find relief. They generally have Jhe following symptoms: A general depression of spirits, witli evil foreboelings, a whirling sensation In the head when rising tip suddenly, foul breath, with a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning, pain in the sides and back, urine scanty and high colored, frequently voided with difliculty, frequent headaches, a distressed feeling at the pit of the stomach, food affording no nourishment. The patient feels tired an the while, and sleep affords but little rest. After a time a dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after a t'me with expectoration, hands and feet cold and clammy at times, a general wasting of the body. In such cases we need a remedy that will act upon the liver ,kidneys, stotnack nnd blood at the same time, and when we use such a remedy it all'ords relief.
