To Young Men Visiting the City.
TrtE Superintendent cf the Toung
Men's Christian Association of Chicago,
W. Y. V anarsdale, has published a card
for the benefit of young men in the coun
try who contemplate visiting the city,
from which we extract as follows:
"City life holds out attractions which
continually draw young men from their
rural homes into our large cities, where
the enemy of souls is ever on the alert to
allure them into sin by the multitudinous
devices and agencies which abound in the
city, and which are not suspected by the
unsophisticated until too late.
" We desire to save all such from ruin,
and, in the furtherance of this object,
wish to call the attention of clergymen,
parents and friends to our rooms and the
privileges which can be secured to young
men, strangers coming into our city, that
they may have letters of introduction to
us. 1 o become acquainted with proper
associates and mingle in good society
upon their first arrival in the city is a
matter often of vital importance.
"We are prepared to introduce all
young men into any church of the dc
nomination which they have been accus
tomcd to attend, where they will be
at home at once and under good in
fluences.
Our association is as a vestibule to
the church, to receive and distribute
the strangers that come into our midst,
and we shall be pleased to meet every
young man that enters our city as a
stranger.
" Our reading-rooms are at No. 148
Madison street, near La Salle, open every
day from eight a. m. to ten p. m., having
the principal papers and magazines on
file, and a well-selected library of 2,500
volumes.
" Our boarding-house list has upon it
nearly one hundred good Christian homes,
from which strangers can select free of
charge.
" We conduct meetings at our rooms, to
which all strangers are cordially invited
until they get settled in their own church
home.
" Young men wishing to spend their
evenings pleasantly as w ell as profitably
are invited to the lyceum for debates,
music, readings, etc., every alternate
Tuesday evening. Lectures after the
completion of our new hall every Thurs
day evening. Other entertainments will
be provided early in the fall, and what
ever is most practical and feasible will
be undertaken to supply young men with
a pleasant place of resort to spend their
evenings and if possible draw them from
the many avenues of amusement which
are of a questionable character.
" Our Employment Bureau i9 at No.
145 Fifth avenue, in charge of Mr. J. M.
Hitchcock, who has been the Superin
tendent of that branch of the work for
several years and will do all he can to
ward finding young men employment.
We would, however, suggest to young
men not to come to Chicago for work, as
there are at the present time thousands
of persons without employment.
44 But our latch string is always out to
all strangers visiting the city, and we
cordially invite them To call."
A Tongh Story.
In the upper part of Placer County,
Cal., in a narrow valley, some distance
from Lake Tahoe, and so out of the way.
that its existence is scarcely known, lives
a Norwegian family named Gumoun, who
immigrated to this State from their Scan
dinavian home some ten or twelve years
ago. Their oldest son, at the time of
their arrival a man nearly thirty yesrs of
age, was a dwarf, having reoeived an in
jury in early life that arrested his growth.
To look at him one would suppose that
he was a child of not more than ten or
twelve years, except for the mature look
on his face and his unusual smartness and
intelligence. Little Dols and his parents
had long since given up the hope that he
would ever attain the stature of a man,
but the boy or man could not help fuel
ing keenly disappointed, and frequently
remarked that if he could not be like
other people he did not want to live.
Nothing was thought of it, however, and
no one suspected that he would endeavor
to make away with himself. Early last
fall Dols disappeared, and after much
search he was given up for lost. Noth
ing was heard of him for some two
months, and the family had about settled
down to the belief that he had wandered
away among the mountains and been lost,
or that a grizzly had made a meal of him.
In the latter part of November a party
of prospectors, in following up a small
canon on the headwaters of the south
fork of the American Itiver to the east
ern part of El Dorado County, discov
ered a small cavern, and in exploring its
recesses found the wasted form of a
child, who was so nearly dead when
found that he could give no account of
himself, but before long recovered suffi
ciently to tell who he was, though he was
still unable to tell anything about how
he came to be there, all recollection of
the preceding two or three months hav
ing faded from his mind. And now comes
the strangest part of the story: Taken to
his home and tenderly cared for, he rap
idly recovered, and at once began to
grow with great rapidity. When our in
formant saw him it was only six months
after the rescue, and he had already at
tained the stature of a full-grown man.
A thick beard, nearly two inches in
length, covered his hitherto smooth face,
and his voice, which had always retained
the piping treble of childhood, had
changed to a deep, sonorous bass. Alto
gether, Dols thinks he has been the gain
er by his mysterious disappearance.

Ilovr Statues Are Made.
The bronze statuary just now so pop
ular is manufactured by a simple enough
process. Over the clay model is poured
a coating of plaster of Paris, which, hav
ing been allowed to set, is taken off in
sections, thus atFording a hollow mold
of the figure. From such a mold is pro
duced a stucco duplicate, either of the
entire statue or of such a portion thereof
as is intended to be cast at a time, and
on this again is formed a second mold
of greater thickness and solidity for the
reception of molten metal. The material
used for the final mold is a composition
of stucco and brick-dust. This is applied
in a plastic state to the stucco model,
from which its inner surface takes the
form of the figure. Were statues cast
solid, it would now only be necessary to
separate mold trom model, and run
metal into the former till its interior was
filled. This, however, would involve ab
surd waste, and in order to economize
material a solid core is placed inside the
mold, leaving only such space all round
as will receive the thickness of metal
deemed necessary for the work in hand.
The mold with its core, having been
thus completed and firmly hooped round
w ith bands of iron, is placed in a kiln to
bake to perfect dryness. This, precau
tion is necessary from the circumstance
that even a trace of moisture might on
the application of molten metal occasion
a dangerous explosion. In the case of
the casting now in question the drying
of the mold occupies some weeks. On
the removal from the kiln the mold is
buried in dry earth below the floor of the
foundry, only the aperture for receiving
the metal and the vent-hole for the es
cape of air remaining visible. Ex.
Fomentations.
Many persons use the word fomenta
tion to apply equally to hot ami cold
applications. Hence they speak of
hot and cold fomentations. The
term should only be used when al
luding to warm applications. When
cold washes are intended, the
word cold should always be used,
whether applied to simple water or that
which has been medicated.
Fomentations, that is, hot applica
tions, have the contrary effect to cold
ones. Warmth relaxes; cold braces.
The one opens the pores, relaxes the tis
sues and enlarges and softens the parts
upon which they are used; cold water
contracts, constricts and hardens the
parts. Fomentation excites the part to
which it is applied. It incites and in
creases the circulation and this relieves
the parts suffering from inflammation,
promotes the formation of matter, and
relief is insured by its discharge.
When fomentation is used, the parts
shuld be dried as seon as possible, by
proper friction, and by the application of
thick and warm woolen cloths. If the
application has been made to the legs,
they should be bandaged; if to the body,
it may be warmly covered with
thick blankets. In using fomenta
tions, care should be taken that the water
be neither too hot nor too cold. If too
hot it will produce injury, and if too
cold it will fail in the object sought. A
temperature of 110 deg. to 10 deg.
Fahrenheit w ill be the proper tempera
ture, beginning with the lower and grad
ually increasing. For this it would be
well to have a thermometer, since that
will make no mistake.
Fomentations to be of use should be
persistently applied, especially when the
disability lies in the limbs or feet. Half
an hour or even an hour is not enough.
It must be persisted in until relief is ob
tained, even to five or six or eight hours.
In the case of the limbs, the leg tubs
may be used and the hot water renewed
from the bottom by means of a funnel
and India-rubber tube.
In cases of strains with much swelling
and tenderness, fomentations, followed
by applications of cold water, arc often
indicated. In these cases the warm
water should be faithfully applied for
from one to three days, as the case may
be, followed by cold applications during
the day until the lameness ceases. This
application of cold water may be made
by binding the disabled limb and keep
ing the cloths wet with cold water, tak
ing the cloths off at night, since it would
not be advisable to let them dry on the
limb. Western Rural.
Buttermilk and Sccrvt. The Colo
rado Agriculturist says : 44 A correspondent
informs us that he finds buttermilk to be
an almost unfailing cure for scurvy in
hogs. To prove the fact, among other
cases which have come under his notice,
he says he owns several pigs which, a
few weeks since, were suffering terribly
from the effects of the disease and that a
speedy cure was effected by merely
pouring the buttermilk over them a few
times in the pen. Readers will do well
to remember this simple remedy."

Effect of Cold Water Upon Tire
Eves. The American Journal of Health
says: 44 Many persons are daily ruining
their eyes by opening them in cold water
of mornings. Cold water will harden
and roughen the hands, and much more
will it do so to the manifold more deli
cate covering of the eye; or, the eye will,
in self-defense, become scaly in the man
ner of a fish; that is, the coats of the eye
will thicken, constituting a species of
cataract which must impair the sight.
That water, cold and harsh as it Is, should
be applied to the eye for curative puposes,
in place of that soft, warm, lubricating
fluid which nature manufactures just for
such purposes, indicates great thought
lessness or great mental obliquity. Noth
ing stronger than lukewarm water should
ever be applied to the eye, except by
special medical advice, and under special
medical supervision."
Before Breakfast. It is a fact that
some ladies, w ho in the street and in the
parlor are attractive in appearance, come
down to breakfast in what is called
deshabille. Our opinion is that the whole
family ought to look well in the morning.
It is important that the calico and the
breakfast dress be rightly adjusted as
well as the afternoon silk and the basque.
It takes but little longer audit pays well.
The children of the household ought to
understand that whatever can bedneby
brush, and mirror, and ribbon should be
done at the start of the day. The first
hour of the morning decides whether our
children shall be gentlemen and ladies or
boors and slovens. But the younger
members of the family will not observe
domestic order if the father and mother
look like a 44 perfect fright." Parents are
the mirror by which their children dress.

Bcyino for Casii. People who buy
for cash always buy cheaper than those
w ho buy on credit. They buy, too, more
closely and select more carefully. Pur
chases which arc paid for when they are
made arc limited more exactly to the
purchaser's wants. There is nothing like
having to count the money out when the
article is bought to make people econom
ical. Persons who do all their business
on a cash basis know just where they
stand and what they can afford ; conse
quently they never find after-occasion for
regretting, in a turn of times, that they
indulged in this luxury or that which
they would have foregone had they seen
what was coming. Heal wants are few
and can be gratified for cash ; at all events
they should always be limited to what
can be paid for in cash. How much of
anxiety, how many sleepless hours, how
many heart-burnings, disappointments
and regrets would be avoided if this rule
were always strictly adhered to.
Scn-Stroke. This is much like apo
plexy. It occurs on very hot days, gen
erally by exposure to the sun. It begins
by headache, thirst, dizziness and some
times difficult breathing and bilious vom
iting. The patient drops down senseless
as in apoplexy, and, unless immediate
relief is obtained, soon dies. Sun-stroke,
it is well to say in this connection, is not
always caused by direct exposure to the
sun. A very close or oppressive atmos
phere in a badly-ventilated room into
which the sun has shone for many hours
will produce sun-stroke or apoplexy.
Nor is sun-stroke necessarily attended
with a 44 rush of blood " to the head. The
symptoms are sometimes rapid loss of
strength and confusion of ideas, and gen
erally a burning spot with numbness on
the top of the head. Perspiration stops,
and a decided chilly sensation is felt
along the backbone. To avert or relieve:
1. Apply broken ice in a muslin bag to
the top of the head, and if the burning is
felt at the base of the skull apply cold
water there, taking care not to wet the
back. 2. Give to drink (hot if possible)
cayenne pepper or ginger, stirred into
water, ami as strong as the patient can
bear it. J. Don't allow the sun's rays to
touch the patient's head for twenty-four
hours. If at hand, a warm bath would
aid materially. N. Y. Weekly.
Abundance of Fruit.
Tiie nurseryman and the horticulturist
have steadily and persistently insisted
that farmers needed and must be sup
plied with fruit trees, and, with proper
respect to their own pockets, have in
some measure succeeded. Their efforts
have been somewhat retarded by a few
unscrupulous dealers and lying tree ped
dlers, who have palmed ofl worthless trees
and those not at all adapted to the locali
ty w here sold. But progress has been made
and the now more thoroughly organized
society for this object will, doubtless, by
the convincing argument of furnishing
valuable trees adapted to the region
where sold, finally succeed in furnishing
the million with fruit grown at their own
doors.
It is to be hoped that all farmers will
be able to see that home-raised fruit in
ample abundance pays in various and
important ways. We know that a large
portion of our State is not as well adapted
to some fruits as some of the more fa
vored States; yet the experience we
have already had indicates that an
abundance of most kinds can be raised.
Fruit trees pay as ornaments to the farm,
affording shade and shelter; and their
million leaves absorb the poisonous car
bonic acid for their benefit and our good.
What prettier sight than a lot of fruit
trees surrounding the farm-house, in full
blossom, their beautiful petals sparkling
in the morning sunbeam, and alive with
honey-bees, wasps and numerous other
insects, extracting the honeyed sweets
from their cups? At this season they
eclipse in beauty even the graceful ever
green ; and besides those blossoms are
suggestive of luscious fruit, causing an
action of the salivary glands in hopeful
anticipation. And it pays again when
our eyes behold the red and smooth-faced
cherry the dark green, yellow or flushed
cheek of the melting pear; or the deep
red, j'ellow or streaked apple, ready for
the basket, ready for being stored for fu
ture use, ready to gratify the human
taste and make the dumb stomach re
joice; the brain, as a medium, to thank
God for fruit.
Fruits pay ten-fold in that important
kingdom, the kitchen. Bless her heart!
What would she what could she do
without fruits? And she wants green
fruits, and plenty of them. The children
want fruit, and need it every day of their
lives; and both sexes of all ages seldom
refuse ripe, appetizing fruit. How can
she make good apple pie and dumplings
without green apples? How furnish the
table with sauce without canned fruit?
Without fruit her kingdom would be
shorn of its temptations, its most desira
ble attractions, and the family meal re
duced to salt pork and potatoes, dry
bread and butter, and we would soon get
bilious break out in loathsome sores for
the benefit of quackery roast in the fiery
Tophet of functional fever be incapaci
tated for labor on the farm, and the whole
business of farming would receive a fatal
shock, while on our coat-tail might be
read, on a pinned paper: 44 Bound for the
poor-house." Health is the back-bone of
successful farming, and without fruit we
dwindle into enervation, sickness and
want. Animation, activity, enjoyment,
all are the attendants of health; and,
with ordinary care and an abundance of
fruit, these may be preserved, and the
long and repeated bills of that M. D. al
most entirely dispensed with.
Yes, fruits are a wonderful preserva
tive of pocket leakage keep the eye
bright the muscles active, the brain
clear give ability to fill our basket and
store, and leave us in a position to enjoy
the blessings of life and impart those
blessings to our neighbors.
Do you say fruit trees cost money and
you have none to spare? I tell you in
good faith it is far better to expend an
hundred dollars for fruit trees than to be
6ick, groan and suffer, and as a finale to
this suffering pay an hundred dollars to
the family physician, besides losing as
much nore from not being able to super
intend the business-of your farm. It
pays in everyway to have an abundance
of fruit, no matter what it costs you see
its effects in bright-eyed, rosy-checked
children, in a wife whose heart beats re
sponsive to your own. You feel it in j
your own body, quivering with conscious
strength; and your mind goes out in love
and sympathy toward all animated na
ture; you are better, and the world
around you is better, because of the
abundance of fruits.
It is economy, essential economy too,
to have plenty of fresh fruits at all sea
sons of the j-ear. Set out fruit trees
take good care of them cheat the doc
tor out of hundreds of dollars add
beauty, strength and happiness to thy
self and thy household, and if thy
neighbor lacks, freely give live like a
Christian and die in unclouded faith.
Cor. Western Rural.
ilay and Grain Caps.
TnESE agricultural appliances consist
of square pieces of cloth of some sort, to
be spread over cops of hay or shocks of
f rain, to shed the rain during show ers,
n wet and lowery weather caps, by pro
tecting hay or grain from damage incident
to exposure t storms, will often save
more than their cash value. The most
enterprising tillers of the soil who are
ambitious to secure their crops in an ex
cellent condition appreciate the value of
caps, as they not only ketp hay or grain
dry during a drenching rain, thus saving
them from damage, but all the labor of
spreading out the wet hay or grain anil
turning the cops over after the shower
has passed will be avoided.
The principal rea-on for not providing
a large number of caps is their great ex
pense when purchased ready for use. But
by managing economically one can obtain
a supply at a comparatively cheap rate.
A few days since the writer went to sev
eral places in New York city where army
blankets, sheets and pieces of tents are
sold. Hundreds of parts of tents about
five feet square, which were just the arti
cles for grain-caps, were oll'ered for sale
at thirty-five to sixty-five cents, each.
But many were badly torn, and many
others were half rotten with mildew. The
conclusion was that it would cost more
to mend the rents and bullet-holes than
the labor of making new ones. Hence, a
piece of good muslin about five feet in
width was purchased, cut into pieces five
feet square, each corner turned down
about three inches, and the raw edges
hemmed on a sewing machine.
Near each corner the cloth was
stitched about an inch square, then
a hole was cut through the center of
each stitching, in the form of a cross,
thus, f, by which a button-hole is made at
every corner for receiving the wooden
pins that hold the caps on the cops of
hay or shocks of grain. The wide mus
lin cost twenty-three and a half cents
I per yard. About one and a half yards
were required ior cacn cap. a boy made
the caps with a sewing machine at the
rate of six caps per hour, making the
cash expense about thirty-eight cents
each for new caps of strong, unbleached
muslin. These were dipped in thin coal
tar, then wrung out as dry as could be,
and were spread out to dry for a few
days, when they were ready for use.
Some wide bed-ticking, of firmer quality
than the muslin, was found at a large
wholesale store, which made much better
caps, at an expense of a few cents less
per cap. Wide bed-ticking or wide mus
lin may be obtained in almost any city.
Treated with a light dressing of coal tar
the cloth will shed the water during any
storm, and the caps will not be still" like
oil-cloth. Oil will render cloth tender
and almost rotten, while coal tar seems
to increase its strength.
Four wooden pins, each about eighteen
inches in length, are required to hold
each cap on a cop of hay. Such pins
would be neater if they were turned,
about half an inch in diameter, pointed
at one end, with a knob on the other
end. But we split out some pieces of
timber about one inch square, and shaved
the pins to the desired form, leaving a
rude knob at one end. These answered
a satisfactory purpose, costing about one
cent each. At a chair factory one could
probably procure a supply of pins for
about half a cent each.
When the caps are put on the hay or
grain a bundle of them is laid on a
wheelbarrow with a basketful of the
wooden pins, when a cap is placed on a
shock of grain or a cop of hay, where
upon two persons, one at a corner diag
onally opposite the other, draw the cap
down and each thrusts in pins through
the holes near the corners of the cap.
Such caps will keep grain dry and
bright, and prevent the straw from
bleaching, so that the shocks may be
taken to the barn or stack soon after a
hard shower. If no caps were employed,
hundreds of sheaves get so thoroughly
drenched with water that the bands must
be loosened and the grain spread out to
dry. Our caps are not only used to pro
tect hay, oats, barley and wheat, but
they are put over corn-stalks in the fall.
For this latter purpose caps will be
found of great value, as they keep the
leaves and husks of the stalks dry, clean
and bright, thus saving a large quantity
of the best of fodder. Even on our little
one-horse farm caps save a vast amount
of hard labor, and more than their cash
value in the quantity of hay and grain,
every season. N. 1 . Observer.
Bedbng Poison.
Corrosive sublimate, one ounce ; com
mon whisky, one pint; shake occasion
ally until the sublimate is dissolved, and
then add a teaspoonful of spirits of tur
pentine, more to give a smell than any
thing else, to prevent accidents by being
mistaken for something to drink. Too
much turpentine will precipitate calomel
from the solution. This is certain death
to the night-crawlers, and can be applied
with a goose-quill to their quarters with
out injury to furniture.
Another, equally sure in killing, as well
as preventing their collecting in joints of
bedsteads, is: Mercurial ointment, one
ounce; spirits turpentine, half-pint; mix
well together until thoroughly incorporat
ed and use with a feather. This is not
as nice a preparation as the first.
Another formula often used is to take
half an ounce of quicksilver and beat up
with the whites of six eggs and use as
above. As the eggs are only intended to
suspend the mercury, the writer thinks
the yolk would be much better, but has
not tried cither, knowing the first two to
be good.
In using any of -them it is very neces
sary to watch for the breeders, and when
found stick a pin through them.
All the above remedies owe their kill
ing qualities to the poisonous effect of
mercury. Cor. Country Gentleman.

On the ferry-boat Lark, when she re
turned from connecting with the express
train over the Hudson Iliver Railroad,
was one of John Weber's stock wagons,
and in the wagon were some calves and
sheep, not with their legs bound together
and their heads hanging over the side
boards, but standing up on all fours in a
pen, with a cover over it to afford them
shade. Now, on the Lark, on the same
trip, was a genteely-dressed, bright-eyed,
middle-aged man who took particular
notice of all the teams and their loads
on board the boat, and seemed particu
larly pleased with Weber's stock wagon
and its contents. Finally this gentleman,
after inquiring of the different persons,
found out who was in charge of that
wagon and the stock, and, searching him
out, he thus addressed him : 44 Have you
charge of the animals in that wagon?"
44 Yes, sir." 44 Are you a butcher?" "Yes."
44 Alwavs carry your stock as comforta
bly as that? " 44 Well, we always try to."
Putting his hand in his pocket the ques
tioner drew forth a twenty-five cent bill,
and, presenting it to the person w horn he
had been questioning, he said : 41 When
you get ashore, go and take a glass of
Deer, and drink good luck to the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The Skeptical. Convinced. Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition which is
the t,cst of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulity can stand
the silent argument of good results.
When Dr. Walker proclaimed that he had
produced from the medicinal herbs of
California an Elixir that would regener
ate the sinking system and cure diseases
not organic the incredulous shook their
heads. Yet his Vineoar Bitters is now
the Standard Restorative of the Western
World. The truth could not be resisted.
Under the operation of the new remedy
Dyspeptics regained their health, appe
tite and strength, the Bilious and Consti
pated were relieved of every distressing
symptom; the Consumptive and Rheu
matic rapidly recovered; Intermittent
and Remittent Fevers were broken up;
the taint of Scrofula was eradicated !
Who could gainsay facts like these?
Not even the Faculty. Skepticism was
routed. All doubts as to the claims of
the Hitters to the first place in the first
rank of modern medicines were silenced
and this wonderful preparation is to-day
the most popular Tonic, Alterative and
Blood Depurcnt ever advertised in
America. In common with other jour
nalists we are free to add our testi
mony to this remedy. It is a domestic
medicine, and no household should be
without it.
TnE heat of Summer, as well as the sudden
changes of temperature incident to Autumn,
coupled with tin; use of unripe vegetables
and fruits and other unwholesome articles of
food, result every season in producing much
putl'ering from Diarrhea, Dysentery, Cholera
Morhuis Colic and other derangements of the
stomach and bowels. A remedy that will
promptly relieve these siitferhigs and restore
tone and normal action to the relaxed and de
bilitated alimentary canal is surely a boon to
the ntllu ted. Dr. It. V. Pierce, whose Family
Medicines have acquired a world-wide repu
tation, by long study and careful chemical ex
periments has succeeded in extracting, by a
cold process, from Smart-Weed, or Water-Peppt-r,
that modest little plant seen in wet
grounds by the roadside and in neglected
grounds and pasture-fields, a remedial princi
ple which, when skillfully combined with the
extract of Jamaica Ginger and other pleasant
modifying agents, in what he calls his Com
pound Extract of Smart-Weed, forms a most
reliable specific for all such derangements
and sufferings. It is pleasant and safe to
take, yet powerful to cure. Its wonderful
cllicacv is a further confirmation of the Doe
tor's idea that God has caused to grow, in
each climate and region, those medicinal
plants best calculated for the cure of the dis
eases that prevail in the section of country
where those plants are found that "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. The Doctor's Extract of Smart-Weed

tive herbs found on tho lower ranees of
fat Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, tho medicinal properties of which
jo extracted therefrom without tho iu:o
)f Alcohol. Tho question ia almost
Saily asked, "What is tho causo of tho
anparallcled success of Vinkoar Hit
ters V Our answer ia, that they remove
tho causo of disease, and tho patient re
covers his health. They are tho ereat
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and Invi,orator
of the system. Never before in tin
history of the world has a uiedicino len
compounded posKessini? tho remarkable
qualities of Vikkoab Hitters in healing tb
sick of every disease man is tieir to. They
are a gentle Turputive as well as a Tunic,
rehoving Conpcrition or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Uilious
Tho properties of Dr. Walkfu's
Vinegar Fitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritions, Laxative, Diuretic;
6edative, Counter-irritant, Sudorilic, Altora
tive. and Anti-T'.iliona.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vi.v
IGAR Bitteks tho most wonderful In
Tigorant that ever BUbtaiued tho sinking
system.
No Person can take these lers
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other
xncaoPj, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Uilious. Remiltent and Inter
mittent Fevers, which arc bo preva
lent in tho valleys of our great rivers
throughout tho United States, especially
those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Urazos, Kio (irando,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
cntiro country during tho Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during r ea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, aro
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of tho stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon thesu various or
gans, is essentially necessary. Thero
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Hittkr.s,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid nrnttcr with which tho
bowels aro loaded, at tho same timo
stimulating the secretions of tho liver,
and generally restoring tho hcallhy
functions of tho digestive organs.
Fortify the hotly against (lisaso
by purifying all its lluidswith Vini.cau
Uitters. No epidemic can tako hold
of a system thus forc-armcd.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, rain in tho Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness. Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, IJad Ta.sto
in the Mouth, Uilious Attacks, l'alpita
tation of the Heart, Intlammatioii of the
Lungs, Pain in the region cf the Kid
neys, and a hundred other painful symp
toms, are tho offsprings of D3.sp1p.-ia.
One bottle will prove a better guaranteo
of its merit3 than a lengthy advertise

Inflammations, ifercurial A flee ns, Old
Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Z cs, etc.
In these, as in all other const itution.i Dis
eases, VValkkr's Vi.vkoab DiTTi:as r.avo
shown their preat curative powers in tho
most obstinate and intractable cmi s.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
theso Bitters have no equal. Such Di-eases
are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons en
caged in Paints and Minerals, such aa
Humbcrs, Type-setters, Gold-beater, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralrsis of tho Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of Walkeu'b Vin
egar Hitters occasionally.

Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Kim?-worms.
Scald-head, Soro Eyes, Ery: ipcl.i.s. Itch.
Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever naino
or nature, are literally dog up and carried
out of the system in a short time by tLo u -o
of these Bitters.
Fin, Tape, and other "Norms,
lurking in the system of so many thousand-',
are effectually destroyed and removed. .No
pystem of medicine, no Termifupe-rf, no an
thelminitles wiUfree tho system lrcin worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the torn of life, theso Tome
Bitters display eo decided an influence that
improvement w soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Wood when
ever voa find ita impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores :
cleanse it when you find it obstructed an 1
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it U
foal fyonr feelings will tell yon when. Ke ;i
the blood pure, and the health of the eyateu
will follow.
