Squills Sees the Comet. 'For some cause or the other too nu merous to mention, Squills was late in going home the other night. Perhaps it was morning. On second thousht it traa morning. Squills had been fritting up -with a pick friend, as usual, and the heat of the room or something hadn't agreed with him. His friend wanted him to Btay all night, but Mrs. Squills had an objection to his staying out all night. Jlrs. Squills was not a jealous woman, but she had once been heard to remark darkly that she would like to catch Mr. Squills staying out all night. From that moment Squills had relinquished the idea. On this particular occasion Squills never felt so much like staying out all night on a door-step in all his life. The room had disagreed with him so much. But he struggled manfully with the effects of the room combined with the effort of sitting up with his sick friend, and he reached home at last. Mrs. Squill was awake. Once upon a time Squills used to take otr his shoes and go up softly in his stockings, but he had left olF that base subterfuge years ago. Mrs. Squills was always awake. She was awake this night as usual. Squills knew it because she didn't snore. "Is that you, Squills?" That is the question she asks me, year in and year out, said Squills. Looking at me with the eye of a lynx from under the mosquito bar, and knowing enough of me to know my hide on a bush, if she should ever see it on a bush, she said mildly: 44 Is that you. Squills?" I tell you, said Squills, that kind of thing is wearing, but I responded cheerily: 44 Yes, my dear; ocoursc me." 44 What time is it? Is it late? 44 Jus' struck twel', Missiz Squills." At which she immediately got out of her nest, walked deliberately to the mantel-shelf, looked at the clock, and then, turning round, said, in tones that would have given a chill to an iceberg: 44 Mr. Squills, it wants just a quarter to thr.ee." I said: 44 Let it-want, m' dear." 44 Where have you been, Mr. Squills? sitting up with a sick friend?" , I knew the "sick friend" was too thin to hold water with that remarkable female, said Squills, and so I said: 44 Codger's comic, m' love." 44 The codgers' what, Mr. Squills? "Codger's comic. Meters mo'won'ful 'n Judy. Fiery untamed tail ever s'long. Gran, s'blime, tooral magnifecnt. Nev sawsuch thingamlife, giv mword niionor." I felt that the influence of the sick friend and the oppressive heat of that last bottle of soda-water was upon me," said Squills, and I also felt that Mrs. Squills' eye was upon me; indeed, I felt as if Mrs. Squills was all eyes, and that they were all beaming on me at one fell swoop, like a policeman's bull's-eye. "Before I call in the children, Squills, to witness the beastly effect of Codger's comet on their father," said Mrs. Squills, "you had better get into that bed." And then what do you think she did? said Squills. But you'd never guess. No, sir; no earthly man could ever guess the depth of that woman's knowledge of human nature. She poured out a glass of ire water from the ice pitcher and then deliberately went out on the porch and threw the balance out into the yard. Then she sat down by the window and sucked the water in a glass through a straw. I never felt so thirsty in my life, said Squills, and she knew it, and then to suck up that water through a straw. There was a majestic malignity in the act that couldn't possibly have originated with anybody but a woman. 1 don't know how I went to sleep, said Squills, but I did, and when I woke up in the morning there was Mrs. Squills at the bedside with a cup of hot coll'ee. 44 Take this, Squills; it's better than ice water, for Codger's comic." What could I say? said Squills. Just nothing. I was completely at her mercy, and that cup of coffee is going to cost me a new dress before I get through with that infernal comet, and I know it. 8t. Louis Republican. Sad Fate of a Aerada Inventor. A gentleman who has just arrived from the borax fields of the desert regions surrounding the town of Columbus, in the eastern part of this State, gives us the following account of the'sad fate of Mr. Jonathan Newhouse, a man of con siderable inventive genius. Mr. New- house had constructed what he called a 41 solar armor," an apparatus intended to protect the wearer from the tierce heat of the sun in crossing deserts and burn ing alkali plains. The armor consisted of a long, close-fitting jacket made of common sponge, and a cap or hood of the same material, both jac ket and hood be ing about an inch in thickness. Before starting across a desert this armor was to be saturated with water. Under the right arm was suspended an india-rubber sack tilled with water and having a small putta-percha tube leading to the top of the hood. In order to keep the armor moist, all that was necessary to be done by the traveler as he progressed over the burning sands was to press the sack occasionally, when a small quantity of water would be forced up and thoroughly saturate the hood and the jacket below it. Thus, by the evaporation of the moisture in the armor, it was calculated might be pro duced almost any degree of cold. Mr. Newhouse went down to Death Valley, determined to try the experiment of crossing that terrible place in his armor. He started out into the valley one morn ing from the camp nearest its borders, telling the men at the camp, as they laced his armor on his back, that he would return in two days. The next day an Indian, who could sneak but a few words of English, came to the camp in a great state of excitement. He made the men understand that he wanted them to follow him. At the distance of about twenty miles out into the desert the Indian jKinted to a human figure seated against a rock. Approaching they found it to be Newhouse, still in his armor. He was dead and frozen stiff. ' His beard was covered with frost, and though the noonday sun poured down it liercest rays an icicle over a foot In length hung from his nose. There he had perished miserably, because hit armor had worked but too well and be rause it was laced up behind where ha could not reach the fastenings. Yirgtntm City Enterprise. flock, they had paid for their keepingev ery year in freeing the pasture of brush and coarse weeds, anil in enriching it with their manure. There was no brush of any considerable size, and very few weeds. And we learned from the propri etor that sheep were the only agents em ployed in keeping the field clean. They hau nibbled the young shoots every year as they started, and what they had not killed outright by this cropping they had kept even with the grass. There wa good feed in every part of this pasture, even late in the fall, and the owner of this farm used this contrast between these adjoining pastures as a standing argument in favor of sheep husbandry. It was very much to the point. If it is true, as George (Jcddcs asserts, that sheep in certain proportion to cattle pay their way in a pasture naturally clean, they must pay much better in pastures inclined to produce brush and weeds. We have had occasion to notice the ben eficial effects of the grazing of sheep upon another farm that has been under observation several years. They have not only subdued sweet fern, briars and thistles, but have greatly improved the grasses. The sod is much thicker and heavier, and the white clover has come in where once it made no show at all. In pastures where the brush is already strong and higher than the sheep can reach, it cannot be expected that they will conquer. But if the brush be cut for a season or two, and the sheep turned in sufficient numbers upon the young growth they will keep it under and eventually destroy it. This is much chenper than the "use of the scythe and plow perpetually. American Agricul turist. ' The Folly of Blinders on Horses. Dunixo the j'cars of boyhood we al ways drove horses with blind bridles; but as soon as we were vested with suffi cient authority to dispense with the blinders we cut otr every blinder from the bridles on the farm, so the eyes of the horses could come to the light;, and the sequence was wonderfully astonish ing. After a few weeks one of the horses that seldom could walk, but always went dancing, prancing and bounding along, began to walk! Before the blinders were cut off every whisper behind her would startle her, and the rustle of a leaf would put heron tiptoe; but as soon as she was permitted to see that rustling sound was only the motion of a leaf, or something that would not hurt her, she Mas quiet and far more tractable than when she had her eyes blinded. Cut the blinders all off and let horses be trained from colt hood with unob structed vision, and they will always be more tractable. A horse looks always a hundred times more beautiful about the head when we can see his eyes than when blindfolded like a guilty felon on the scaffold. The eyes of horses are placed in such a position that they can see directly forward, on both sides and behind equally will. If horses were trained as they should be, with proper gentleness and kindness, they would never need blinders and they would al ways be far more safe without such ap pliances than with them. During the dark ages of the world, when nobody pretended to know any thing except what some knowing one told him, harness-makers conceived the idea of making blinders on the bridles of horses; and every man who has not de cision enough to cut off such injurious and homely appendages to the bridle continues to have bridles made with blinders even in this nineteenth century. We might with equal propriety put blinders over the eyes of our cows while they are being milked so that they could not see to kick and run away. Thou sands of horses have run away and un told numbers of persons have been seri ously and many fatally injured in consequence of using blinders on their horses, all of. which would have bcipn avoided if the horses had been trained to service without blinders. littral Caro linian. Clover Hay for Horses. Sheep as a Cleansing: Crop. How to clear our pastures of brush and weeds is a very important question in all our grazing districts. As a matter of fact, upon most dairy farms it requires the utmost vigilance and considerable expense annually in cutting brush to keep them clean. The grazing of cows and young cattle alone will not clean the land from brush and -weeds. Patches of briars, whortleberrj', sweet fern, hazel nuts, scrub-oak or other bush spring up. and spread year by year until the grass is crowded out, and the land is covered with a young growth of forest trees. In many of the older States there are large tracts of land now covered with timber that forty years ago were in pasture. In the case of rough, hilly land that can never be plowed, this return to forest is often desirable. But a certain portion of every farm is needed for pasture, and if animals can be substituted for human labor in killing brush and weeds it is exceedingly desirable to know it. We recently visited two farms lying side by side, with no perceptible difference in the Quality or moisture of the soil. The nasture lands were only separated by stone fence, but something much broader than a fence line had separated tne man rment of the two farmers. 1 lie one pasture had been grazed by cattle for a long term of years, and the pasture had gone to seed m a magnificent growth of .Man Trhnrtipherrv brush, voung ma thistles and golden rod hrfr and other brash and weed There were patches of grass in perhaps one-quarter of the neia, wnere me cos got a scanty living, ine umcr paoimt, ; H,mirn trt its cattle, had the constant tread "of a flock of one hundred and sixty sheep, and their hoofs in this case certainly had been gold. Besides all the wool, mutton and lambs gold from the Mant farmers are strenuously opposed to red clover of any kind as feed for horses, as they contend the poisonous dust which rises from the dead stalks and dry leaves frequently causes the heaves. For many years we have ktpt horses almost exclusively on clover hay through our long winters, and if the clover M as cut when about one-half the blossoms had turned brown, and the hay mostly cured in the cock in good M-eather, so as to re tain most of its leaves and heads and green appearance, we have never known it to produce either cough or heaves. Y e know of no reason why it should produce a cough in horses anymore than red top or herds'-grass. Clover when cut early tor hay, as it generally should be, lrom its succulence, it not well dried be fore being carried to the barn in large quantities, is very liable to heat in the mow or on the scailold; this process produces some injurious chemical changes in the hay. The starch, sugar, gum, etc., first assume the vinous fer mentation, producing a saccharine Qual ity. in the hay. If the change here be arrested no bad results Mould follow, the nutritive and healthy quality of the hay Mould not be lessened but generally tne vinous runs into the acetous fer mentation this is followed by sourness, moldiness and dust. Such musty hay, fed to horses, when made from clover or any other kind of grasses, Mould be very likely to produce a stubborn cough, frequently ending in the heaves. ii is no wonuer uiai some rarmers nave a prejudice against such clover hay. nat would be the value of the medic inal herbs annually garnered ur (M-hile in. blossom) by the careful housewife if suffered to heat and ferment, as is often the case with clover hay? In making hay from clover we have for many years practiced the following method: In clear weather commence mowing as soon as the dew is oil; let it remain in the SM-ath till three or four o'clock, after noon, then with the fork take the swaths up in flakes and put up cocks that M ill average about fifty pounds of dried hay. The cocks remain untouched for twenty- four hours, then they are carefully pitched over in flakes, and two cocks are put in one; from nine to ten o clock the third day they are opened, and if the weather has been fair the hay Mill be in good order to get in alter dinner, with out, any liability to heat, though we generallj sprinkle a few quarts of salt to each load as stoM'ed away. This is as short a time as clover can be made In- cutting, spreading, turning, raking open, etc., as is practiced by many farmers. By the above processes most of the leaves and heads are left in the field, while by mak ing mostly in the cock the leaves and heads are principally retained, and the whole mass retains its color and its clover odor, and horses, cattle and sheep eat it with avidity. It is true we cannot always be sure of three good hay days in succession, and in case of rain 44 hay caps" come into profitable use, not only in protecting clover, but other kinds of hay. A . 1 .

Aliout liulf-piist four o'cl.x k in the afternoon of that day, during the prev alence of a high southwestern wind, alike in intensity to that which swept over the city on the memorable !Uh of October, 171, an alarm of lire was sounded, the Mroke indicating the corner of South Clark and Twelfth streets as it locality. This region is, or was, closely built over with wooden shanties and dilapidated pine structures, inhabited by the scum of the city, filthy and dirty, and as dry as a tinder-box. It is not to le wondered that an alarm in such a locality and under such circumstances occasioned much apprehen sion. The fire broke out in the residence of a rag-picker.

THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRES OF 71 AND 74 door the incipient fire caught breath of the strong southwest and thenceforth raged a very Shanty after shanty, building after building quickly ignited, and when, scarce live min utes after the alarm was sounded, an engine came thundering along the thoroughfare, at lea-t half a hundred of the miserable struct ures were wrapped in flames. The wind was so violent that the firemen were unable to work directly in front of the tire and were forced to confine their efforts, at first, to ex tinguishing the Haines from the rear. During this futile endeavor the lire acquired added fervor, and the air was full of burning brands and embers, which fell upon the wood en roofs a block away, and these were set on lire, and the firemen forced to surrender the intervening space and allow the flames to rage without pretense of control while they attempted to attack again their old enemy in the front. Convinced at last that a front attack would be useless, they abandoned that also, and worked thencefor ward upon the flanks. Here they Mere mod erately successful, and toward midnight the lire was under control. The fire swept diagonally across the block where it originated to the corner of Taylor street and Fourth avenue, and in a little over an hour reached the corner of Third avenue and Folk street. Here a brave attempt Mas made to stop its progress, and several build ings Mere blown up, but Hwder M as scarce and the lire soon reached State street, despite all efforts to prevent it. Having reached State street the fire M as in its glory. The Haines leaped gayly from build ing to building, now and then skipping a structure or two to facilitate progress, but never neglecting to bring up the rear and make clean work of it. The most that could he done was to prevent it spreading south ward, and this was accomplished. A steamer was stationed at Harmon court and the boys connected therewith fought the lire into its very teeth, and to enable them to do so they reared a barricade out of a theatrical sign board, which M as held in front of the pipe men, and thus the tire M-as approached so closely that the sign-board took tire. The Mind increasing in fury, it broke through the alley dividing State street from Wabash avenue. Now, for the first tiuie about six o'clock the lire began to feed upon the aristocracy. It struck up high to bring down fancy cupolas and observatories. Thousands of dollars were consumed every minute. The danger of utter destruction became more imminent every moment. More help was wanted, and accordingly telegrams were sped over the M-ires to Milwaukee, Kacine, Jolict, and other places. They read : 44 A great tire is raging. Chicago is threatened with destruction. Send us your fire department." In the course of the night came responses in the shape of stalwart men with apparatus, and they did valiant ser vice in fighting the flames to a smaller and smaller limit. Having reached W abash avenue, Mitli n wind blowing fromthe southwest, Michigan ivcnue seemed doomed to destruction. In ict the thought of saving any portion of it, from Kldridgc court to a point at least as far north as Harrison street, M-as abandoned, and yet, contrary to all expectations, every house in that limit stood intact. Every house on Wabash avenue parallel to this M'as destroyed, but the narrow alley between the two avenues stood a barrier as if it had been an interven ing mountain. Having reached its eastern limits, the flames fed their M ay rapidly northward, three blocks abreast. There was little use trving to light it in the face. Every moment the wind rose more fiercely, and in the vicinity of the con flagration a regular gale M as blowing. The heat M-as intense. Firemen could not stand within a hundred feet of it in the direction it M-as speeding. Hence it had to be fought in the flank. There being little hope of saving Michigan avenue though it M-as saved the policy seemed to be to light it into the lake, by closing on its sides. This policy was adopted, though efforts were not abated to save Michigan avenue. At six o'clock all danger M'as passed that it Mould make its way further southward. In that direction its 'unit M-as reached, and the force there de ployed M-as soon dispatched to more threaten ing points, though it M as not safe to leave the whole line exposed. At eight o'clock the fire was checked on Clark street, and then there M-as no danger that it would pass westward. After that two engines covered the entire field from Polk street south on Clark around by Twelfth street to Wabash avenue, where the engagement M-as growing hotter and hotter every moment.' When the southern and M-cst-em ends of the fire had been made secure, the northern and eastern lines of attack were re inforced, and the enemy confined into nar rower and narrower quarters. On Harrison street the tire M-as forced to leave Third and Fourth avenues and at Van Buren street it was forced out of State street, the St. James Hotel being the lat building on that thoroughfare to j-icld. When the tire reached that point the interest in its progress became intense. It Mas moving along both sides of State between Harrison and Van Buren. On the west side stood a massive row of four or live story marble fronts, on the east side the St. James. Beyond the St. James, northward, M-as an open space several hun dred feet square. There M as a good? hope if a stand M'as made at this hotel the flames M ould be prevented from crossing this open space. On the west side there Mas no such barrier. It Mas certain that the whole row Mould go, and then, crossing Van Buren street, make its way to the rainier House. OpjMisite the St. James stood a row- of four-story mar ble fronts, covering about four numbers. These were divided from the building south by a single lot, twenty-five feet wide A mere bagatelle, said , everybody, and nobody antici pated that that little open space would check the flames. But it did. Fortunately a splen did fire-proof wall had been reared to the south. Madly the flames beat against it, and went clear over the building, setting fire to the St. James, but this wall stood the test grandly, and though there was fire to the south Hiid fire to the east, and not a pint of water thrown upon it, the building remained there a savior of untold millions. It was the citadel of the conflagration. Its surrender would have given the w hole city over to the flames. Instinctively every one in sight of the sceuc appreciated the im portance of the position, and when the building on the south tumbled to gether with a thundering crash thereafter harmless a shout from fifty thousand throats rose high above the roar of the conflagration. It was the moment of momentsduring the prog ress of the fire, and fitly was it commemorated While this building stood the brunt and on slaught of w hat might be called overwhelming odds, a four-story brick, apparently out of all dauger, on the corner of Wabash aveaue and Van Buren street, took fire from the St. James hotel. An upper window had been left open, a curtain was set on fire by a stray spark, and in a moment the whole interior, already filled w ith hot air, was a sheet of flames.

But, fortunately, the flames were con lined to that and the adjoining building, and the northern limit was reached. Having hitherto shunned Michigan avenue, it now turned venomously upon it, making its w ay along Congress street, and consumed the Oceanic Building, the structure that once did duty as the Tremont, one or two others, and then was finally and effectually squelched just in time to save the Matteson and Gardner Houses and the Exposition building.

USEFUL AM) SUGGESTIVE. The Insect War on the Crops. The recent reports of vast swarms of grasshoppers in the grain-growing States of the Northwest are ot alarming inter est, and the inquiry comes, Is there no remedy? The eminent American astron omer, Jj. A. Gould, writing from his ob servatory at Cordova, in the Argentine Confederation, last fall reported enor mous numbers ot grasshoppers then fre quenting that pan of South America. One train of them he computed to be five miles in width, literally darkening the sun, and borue northward in a dense band not less than 2,000 feet thick. They were evidently drifted in the strong trade-wind blowing along the Andean Sierras, and appeared to be entirely at the mercy of the Mind. Is it possible that, as the winter of the southern hem isphere closed, these roving clouds of grain-destroying insects have migrated, M ith spring, across the equator and en tered the Western States? The question, however preposterous it may at first sound, is not so easy to dispose of. What ever answer we may give the observa tions of Dr. Gould show, at any rate, a congeniality of the soil' and climate occupied by these dangerous insects in both hemispheres. The Argentine Republic, lying under the shadow of the Andes, Mith its undulating, treeless pampas, swept by the howling pamperos or westerly mountain winds, corresponds precisely with the geographical prairie belt in the United States swept by the Rocky Mountain M inds and subjected to great thcrmomctric extremes. This striking fact may prove suggestive of the conditions under which these insect armies breed, and, if the hint is pursued by the sagacious and scientific agricul turist, may lead to some method of pre dicting or preventing their ruinous in vasions. The habits and haunts of such insects are of national importance to determinej and to make known, lor they often threaten national lamine. 1 fie Colorado beetle, whose true domicile is the Rocky Mountains, where it feeds on a species of wild potato, had in 18.VJ advanced eastward only as far as Omaha. Leaving behind it flourishing colonics, it entered Iowa in 18G1, and crossed the Mississippi into Illinois in 18m, reaching Canada and New England by slow marches in 1870. It is said that the passage across the Atlantic is a mere question of time, if it has not already been effected. If it enters Europe and finds there a congenial home the potato crop and garden crops generally must sutler immense depredations. Rut we refer to the subject of these insect rav ages on the grain and garden crops to show the necessity for some corrective. It is incredible that Mell-directed and patient investigation of agricultural scientists can supply no remedial agent, or devise no method of destroying the young while in the ground. The inva sion of such swarms of grasshoppers as Dr. Gould leisurely observed for two days over the arid plains of La Plata it may be beyond human poMer to deal with. Rut not so the ordinary bands which die in the soil m the "Western m inter and germinate M ith the warmth of spring.

A correspondent of the Country Gen tleman, after having experimented to his Aeart's content with several kinds of yrease, tobacco Mater, kerosene, ashes, unguentum, etc., for killing lice on cat tle, has arrived at the conclusion that sul phur sprinkled on the animals, and well rubbed into the hair, and a tablespoonful given in meal daily for a week, is the sim plest, safest and su:est remedy he has ever tried. The total cost of the bridge over the Mississippi at St. Louis M-as $10,500,000, and it M'as seven years in building. Fowls should never be permitted to have access to the horse stable, nor the feed-room, nor the hay-mow. Their rooms should be entirely separate from the stable, so that they may not always be ready to slip in M henever a door is opened; and that the vermin which in fest poultry may not reach horses and cattle. It is a fact that fowls of all kinds when alloM-ed to go on the hay-mow, or in the feeding-room, or anywhere in the barn, damage more fodder than we are wont to suppose. We would as soon alloMf fowl to live in the kitchen and to hop on the dinner table while we are eating, and to roost on our bedstead, as to allow them to have free access to the horse stable and barn. Some horses are always afraid of fowls ; and when one enters the manger or rack the timid horses will immediately sur render their entire right, hoM-ever hungry they may be, to these lawless marauders. And after they have Scratched over the feed with their foul feet a horse must be exceedingly hungry before he will eat his mess. Many a hungry horse has been deprived of his feeding of grain by a lot of bold, gallinaceous robbers that had learned when and where to fill their empty crops with the feed of a jaded horse"v Let grates and bars exclude fowls'and pigeons from the doors and windows of all horse stables. A". Y. I'i mi . The Great Medical Reformation. The Satanic Theory that preparations which inflame the brain are, in any sense ofthe word, remedies has been orerthroten, and can necer be re-etibliJtd. The won derful eflects which have attended the use of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters as an antidote to the causes of disease and a cure for every controllable ailment have demonstrated the utter fallacy of the doctrine that alcohol is & tonic as Mell as a xtimuUint. The new and in comparable Vegetable Remedy which has superseded the death-draught of rum bitters is as free from every intoxicating element as the dew of Heaven, yet see how it is invigorating the nervous, re lieving the bilious, curing the dyspeptic, purifying the blood of the scrofulous strengthening the debilitated, arresting premature decay, and replacing despond ency and weakness Mith cheerfulness and activity.

PIERCE, M. P., of the World's DisVexsakv, Buffalo, N. Y. Smart-Weed, sometimes called Water Peper, but known by Botanists as I'ulttonum Punctatum, is a well-known, very common and modest little plant found growing in ditches, low grounds, among rubbish und about brooks and water-courses, flowering in August and September. In many sections of this country it is a deservedly highly-esteemed family remedy. The Indians also make great use of this 'plant for the cure of various diseases. But neither the Indians nor the whites learned one-tenth of the value of this modest little weed, as they had no method of extracting its virtues w ithout the application of heat, which destroys most of its properties, and usually made a tea from the dried herb that had been kept on hand for a long time until it had lost most of its medical projH-rties. No educated Cheini.-t had ever tried to make an analysis of the plant and produce an extract from it upon scientific principles by a cold process until I. having become convinced of the wonderful medical virtues of this little weed, investi gated its properties and made an extract from the fresh herb by a cold process using no heat at all, but bringing out its juices, oils and volatile properties complete and un impaired. If this remedy had heretofore been valuable when prepared in the most crude manner, from the long-dried herb and by the application of heat, that destroyed so much of its virtues, I reasoned that it must, when properly prepared by a cold process and from the freshly-dried herb, prove a won derfully efficacious and potent remedy for human suffering. And I can assure the people, upon my honor as a professional man, that in K i use, since thus preparing it, up most sanguine expectations have been lqore than realized. I have found it to contain medical properties which steeping in w ater could not bring out at all, as they are resinous principles. With my Extract, containing all these medical properties unimpaired, I have been enabled to produce most astonish ing remedial effects. By much study, a large experience in prescribing this and other medicines, and very close observation, I have been enabled to compound and combine with the simple Extract of Smart-Weed extracts of other medicinal herbs and roots that greatly improve its power and usefulness both as an internal and external remedy besides they so flavor and modify it as to remove its pungent, suiarty taste and render it a ptecuant remedy for tilth adult at and children. The greatest dif ficulty that I experience in the way of intro ducing this most valuable reinedv to the public is the fact that Smart-Vccd is such a common and unpretending-looking little herb that people are apt to think that it cannot possess anv great or valuable medical properties. Had 1 prepared my Extract of Smart-Weed, put it up and labeled it with some great name, and told the people that the herbs of which it was composed were collected in Africa by the Arabs, carried across the Saharah Desert on the backs of camels, and brought across the Atlantic Ocean for my special use, and that its ingredients were therefore very expensive, I have no doubt that some would have been thereby inspired with greater confidence in it. But I prefer to deal honestly with the people and tell them that the chief ingredient of my Compound Extract is the modest little plant seen growing by the roadside in all parts of North" America, and known as Smart-Weed. I believe that tiod has caused to grow, in each climate and re gion, those medicinal plants best calculated for tlie cure of the diseases that prevail in the section of country where those plants are found that 44 the leaves were for the healing of the nations," and that the fewer far fetched remedies we employ the better, if we would thoroughly investigate and understand those we have at home. So far as Smart Weed has been employed by the medical pro session it has won golden opinions, notwith standing the fact that heretofore they have had only a very imperfect preparation of it to use, owing to heat being always employed in ex tracting its properties. A celebrated medical author says: 4'A friend of ours had an only child dangerously ill with Summer Complaint. He had employed a great variety of the usual means for relief, but all appeared unavailing. The child was finally given Smart-Weed and it was entirely successful. It arrested the vomiting and purging in a short time and without the aid of other medicine entirely re stored the little patient." As a remedy for Dysentery (or Bloody Flux) I have never seen my Extract of Smart-Weed equaled, yet I have used all the most modern and improved medicines usually employed in that disease. The Smart-Weed is rendered still more ellica cious in all Bowel Complaints, Cramps and Pains in the Stomach by reason of the Ja maica Ginger which, with other valuable in gredients, is compounded with the Smart Weed in making my extract hence the name Cot)itfinnd Extract of Smart-Weed. The (lin ger and, other ingredients not only add great ly to the value of the Smart-Weed as a reme dy for internal administration and render it more pleasant to take by imparting an agreea ble flavor to it, but also enhance its value as an external application. In all cases of Diar rhea, whether acute or chronic, in young or old, as well as in Cholera or Cholera Infantum, the' symptoms of which are severe vomiting and purging, feeble pulse, with cold or clam my skin, 'my Extract of Smart-Weed w ill give almost immediate relief and speedily effect a cure. All authors writing upon Smart-Weed speak particularly about a dose of it produc ing a warmth and peculiar tingling sensation throughout the system. This is especially the case when my Extract is given, and indicates a perfect arousing of the whole system, as if from inaction and sleep, and resembles a shock of electricity, only that it is more lasting in effect. The whole system and its various functions arc aroused to perform their normal functions by its electrical effect upon the nervous system. Hence, too, its great and masterly control over Rheumatic and Neuralgic Affections, for which it is particularly advised by medical authors and in which it has performed re markable cures. It should be used in these cases both externally and internally. Being a great Diaphoretic, or Sweatinq Jle'luine, aids greatly in relieving pain, but, indcpendently of that, it possesses great anodyne or sooth ing prop rties, that render it far ahead of anv 44 Pain Killer" (so called), 44 Instant Relief," 44Gidden Relief," or any other pain remedy that has ever been offered to the public. Be sides, it is perfectly harmless, which is not the case with many of the preparations pat ented and put up for sale by Quacks, " Indian Doctors," and those knowing nothing of the delicate and intricate structure of the human system, nor the action of medicines upon it. My Extract of Smart-Weed is not a secret Patent Medicine, no patent having been asked for or obtained upon it, and its ingredients are no secret all that I claim is that, as an educated and skilled analytical and practical Chemist, I have devised "a superior' process for bringing out and obtaining the most valu able properties of the plants from which my Compound Extract is made. this I have done only after great expense in erecting ma chinery for grinding, pressing and percolat ing, i wish particularly to call public atten tion to my Extract of Smart-Weed as a rem edy for ail Colds, Febrile and Inflammatory Attacks. - Nor can I too highly extol it as a remedy for Inflammation of the Kidneys and Bladder, Cravel, and to break up the cold stage of Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever. As an external application it is a perfect ranaci-a, if there ever was one. No family can afford to be one day without it in the house. Besides, it is equally as good for the horse as for man. It subdues inflammation of all kinds. Used as a gargle and applied free I v externally to the throat, it is a sovereign remedy in Diphtheria and Quinsy or Inflamma tion of the Tonsil Clauds. To all Wounds, Bruises, Sprain, Burns, Bee Stings, Insect and Snake Bites, Frost Bites, Chilblains, Caked Breast, Swollen Clauds, Rheumatism, and, in short, to any and all ailments, whether atllict ing man or beast, requiring a direct external application, either to allay inflammation or siM.the pain, or both, Extract of Smart-Weed cannot be excelled. I do not extol this medi cine as a cure-all, nor is it necessary to men tion all the diseases w herein it w ill be found to effect cures, as I have said enough to indi cate its properties, and the intelligent w ill at once see w herein its use may properly be ex tended. Recollect it is sold under a ositive guarantee. If, after using two-thirds of the contents of the bottle, you are not satislied w ith it, return the bottle to nic and your mon ey will be promptly refunded. Allow me to say, in conclusion, that mv Compound Ex tract of Smart-Weed is a safe remedy in all cases, which cannot be said of many medi cines put up for sale the people. So harme less is it that it may be given in small doses of 5 to 10 drops in milk to infants for Colic, and will be far more effective and much safer than any "Soothing Syrup" or 44 Cordial" ever put up, "and will not injure the child as they c'o. Mv Extract of Smart-Weed is now sold by most druggists, both in this and many for eign countries Wilhoft's Anti-Periodic or Fever and Agce Toxic. This invaluable and standard family medicine is now a household word and maintains its reputation unimpaired. It is in dorsed by the medical profession, and pre scribed daily in the Charity Hospital and other Hospitals in New Orleans. Wilhoft's Touic is thus highly recommended by the leading medical men ofthe country, and is worthy of such indorsement. Wheelock, Fi xlat & Co., Proprietors, New Orleans. For sale by all Druggists.
