Coat of Food for Hen*.
It is very often asked, what is the
cost of feeding a hen? Ihere are, of
course, differences according to the [
breed ; namely, the size, activity, &c.,
and particularly generative activity.
An egg represents a large amount of ;
nutriment, of the most condensed sort,
and a hen that lays 200 eggs per year
wilT need, say,, some sixteen or seventeen
pounds more of pure nutriment,
for this purpose alone, than one laying
half that number. And, of course,
every additional ounce of fat laid on
your fowl's ribs must go in at the bill,
?as well as telling in your bills,) so that
rattening breeds consume more than
non-fattening ones under equal circumstances.
Again, other things being
equal, a very active fowl uses up entirely,
without accounting for it in eggs or
fat, nutriment enough, in excess of a
quiet one, to pay for her liveliness.
"Every flap of your turkey's wing costs
u uiixiu UA uuxii.
But from a series of painstaking observations
we can say that the average fowl
at large consumes not far from a bushel
of corn per year. If at large, she supplies
herself'with green food, and picks
up insects, larvse, &c. If kept cofmned,
animal food must be artificially supplied,
such as crushed chandler's scraps,
chopped sheep's lights and livers, and
house scraps. In summer you must
add to this short, tender grass, and in
winter raw cabbage or boiled potatoes,
or other green vegetables.' This, for a
year, brings the estimate for the cost of
the food of the confined fowl up to the
equivalent of a bushel and a half of
corn. It will generally be found that
when com varies in price, the cost of
vegetables and animal food varies with
it, so that this estimate is gonerally
correct.?Poultry World.
Kaiaiiijc Koora for Cattle.
I think people do not pay attention
enough to raising roots for cattle, and
as I have lntd a little experience in that
line, I will give it for the benefit of
your 'readers.
In 1871 I purchased four ounces of
man eel wurzel beet-seed and sowed it
on two square roils of ground, in drills
two foet apart, and tended with a hoe ;
and in the fall I harvested from said
piece of ground thirty bushels of beets,
sixty pounds to the bushel. The Bamo
year I sowed about one-eighth of an
acre of carrots, from which I obtained
about forty-five bushels.
In 1872 I sowed three-eighths of an
acre to mangel wurzel, in drills three
feet apart, from which I obtained 191
bushels. I also sowed three-eights of
an acre of carrots, in drills two feet
apart, and obtained 125 bushels. The
carrots were more expensive in weeding
and digging, and returned less feed in
proportion to the amount of land sown
than the mangel wurzel, but of a little
better quality. I think mangel wurzel
the cheapest food for cattle that can be
grown, if wo take the amount of land
used into consideration.?J/. N. S., of
Concord, Iowa, in Western Rural,

In his recent consideration of the
condition, prospects, and possibilities
of American agriculture, Mr. Dodge,
urging the idea of combination on the
attention of farmers, declares that there
is no reason why comparative isolation
should lead to positive hermitage. A
great enlargement of American dairying
has come from association ; the monthly
gathering for sales of farm animals in
Madison Countv. (fliio. has 6aved im
mense sums from the clutches of middlemen
; the inauguration of market
fairs should be general; associations for
importing or buying animals of the best
blood should be more numerous ; there
should be a farmers' library in every
township in the land ; farmers should
join to build flourishing mills, sawmills,
and woolen factories, if they cannot
get them otherwise; and they
should combine cn masse to enforce
upon politicians, railroad directories,
and all others, justice and equity in
their dealings with agriculture.
How to Grow Lima Beam.
A correspondent of the Country Gentleman
says :
For the'past ten years wo have raised
them in great abundance?in fact, have
cooked none other for dry. The first
year or so wo found difficulty in ripening
the beans, as we picked for the table
as fast as they were ready. There are
only two points, if observed, to insure
success. 1'he first is to pinch oft* the
top of each vine when they have reached
the top of the stake?say six feet?and
the second is carefully to save the earliest
pods for seed. Many writers say
that they must be planted eye down,
Ac. We never practice it. \tfeputthe
ground in nice order, when it is warm
enough, and plant ns any other beans,
four to a hill, and they generally all
come. By saving the earliest for seed
we have them nice for the table three
weeks earlier than at first.
Bee8 on Every Farm,
M. L. Dunlap, of Illinois, said that
bee-keeping was a delightful and profitable
pursuit as a family recreation and
resource ; not that thousands of pounds
can be raised by every one, but all can
have a supply. When we teach all to
manage them, and make them interested,
we give them something to attract
them, something that will keep our
boys from the towns and their vices.
We find few farms for sale now, becanse
the tastes of the people are becoming
elevated, and homes are made more attractive
than formerly by the addition
of such things as make them pleasant.
We have the flowers, but if they are
trampled out they must be raised, protected,
and made accessible. It was a
success, even in Chicago, the suburbs
of which produced abundance of white
clover.

Self-Vaccination. ? An Iowa man,
sayR an exchange, who thought some
things could be done as well as others,
and that a penny saved was a penny
earned, concluded to vaccinate himself,
and save the necessity of paving a fee
to a physician. He cut a plug out of his
arm, thrust in some virus obtained from
the nrm of his sister, who had been vaccinated
by a physician a few days before,
tied up the wound with a piece of
wet newspaper, and awaited the result.
The surgeon found it necessary to am- i
putate the arm in a short time, and the
self-vaccinator is now in his grave, beyond
the reach of small-pox and other
contagious diseases.
What Womex Work At.?The census
statistics arrange woman's occupation
under 72 heads ; domestic servants
head the list, in point of numbers, and,
strange to say, "laborers on farms"
come next. There are97,000seamstresses,
90,000 milliners and dressmakers, and
84,000 teachers. There is a glorious
army of 10,170 nurses. There are
preachers, shoemakers, journalists, authors,
" mechanics not specified," and
only 100 "show women." But who would
dream of "women steam boiler makers,
5," "bell-founders, 4," "hunters
and trappers, 2 ?" Hostlers, charcoal
burners and miners also figure in
the list.

The Heidelberr Duelling Corps.
The Confltatt Observer says : "All
visitors to Heidelberg must feel more or
less interest in the famous duelling
corps existing there. These corps dote
their origin almost as far back as the
foundations of the Universities of the
Elector Rupert I., in the year 1386.
They were at first composed of all the
best and noblest among the students ;
now, however, they no lopger hold the
rank they once did, but are looked on,
even by some of their members, as necessary
evils, on the keeping up of which
the general honor of Heidelberg in some
remote way depends. Many strange
customs nre prevalent among thfe 'members,
not the least curioUs of which is
the way the funeral rites of any of their
number at the University are celebrated.
The funeral takes place at night
by the light of torches. The coffin, on
which is placed the cap and swords of
the deceased, is drawn on a low bier by
four horses. Immediately after the
body walk the members of the corps to
which the deceased belonged, bearing
torches, and followed by a representative
from each of the other corps. On
reaching the burial ground, which is
situated at a short distance from the
town, a ' chorale' is sung by the whole
company, but no sooner is the coffin
lowered into the grave,-than the hymn
is changed into one of the noisy drinking
songs in which these students excel.
TTlVliUUl UUJ UClCUIVuj M?c
grave is closed, ana the cortege mafrches
back to the town, where they again halt
on the Universitrots-Platz, and form
into n large circle. Two of the beet
swordsmen then go through the sword
exercise, after which, with aloud shout,
all the torches are thrown high in the
air, so that they fall together in a burning
pile in the centre of the circle. The
ceremony thus brought to a close, the
corps retire to their respective places of
rendezvous, in one of the numerous taverns
in the town, and the rest of the
night is passed in carousing and merrymaking.
The Beer IUots at Frankfort.
Of the beer riots at Frankfort, already
noticed by the cable dispatches,
the correspondent of the London Times
writes: " The beer riots at Frankfort
are Very serious. The brewers having
slightly raised the price of beer, the
mob availed themselves of a market
day, when thousands of laborers from
the neighborhood visited the town, to
attack and demolish the principal beerhouses,
taverns, and breweries. The
Iiolico at first hesitated to interfere,
rat, upon some Socialists displaying
a red flag, they thought it high time to
assert the majesty of the law, and made
an effort to withstand the rioters in the
more exposed localities. They were
beaten off by the mob, who, encouraged
by success, received the military, now
summoned to the spot, with a shower of
bricks. When a few blauk cartridges
fired to warn off the rioters had proved
ineffectual, the officers in command at
last resorted to more stringent means,
and, of course, easily succeeded in
quelling the riot. Tho loss of life is
very great. There are thirty-seven killed
? .1 -l- ? i 1 ru\ 1?.1 Ttrui.

ception of a few, where the rioters were
received with scalding beer and steam
before the military arrived, all the leading
breweries of the town were invaded
by the mob. No doubt there has been
mismanagement on the part of the authorities,
or the riot could never have
assumed such vast proportions. The
police, consisting chiefly of Frankforters,
probably acted with the leniency
usuallv displayed by South German authorities
on such occasions, while the
military, con -nanded, I dare say, by
North Germa; officers, or, at any rate,
bound to adhere to the injunctions of
the Prussian military code, as soon as
they begun operations gave the rioters
a taste of the stricter discipline and
sterner habits of the German North.
It was the first riot at Frankfort 6ince
the late remodeling of all things in Germany."
Ten Thousand Sharks.
A correspondent of Land and Water
writes :?
In 18591 visited the spot near Kawaihae,
on Hawaii, one of the Sandwich
Islands, where the lava poured into the
sea, after running nearly sixty miles
down the mountain from the mouth of
the volcanic crater. We went down in
? A.V\/\ol nn/1 OQ Ti*n onnmn/tliA/1 flin
u nuaio-uunw, uiiu no nv vmv
spot in .the niglii, the effect of tho great
masses of red hot lava flowin^into the
sea, hissing, seething, and bubbling
like a million of steam engines blowing
off steam, was startling and most fearful.
But something more fearful still
met our gaze. It was a sight?well, I
do not exaggerate in saying tens of
thousands?of immense sharks, as thick
as they could swim, close in alongside
the rocks, and seemingly comfortable
and happy, and intent only upon their
own situation. Some of the wretches
were twenty feet long, and there they
went, continually rolling and mixing
with each each other?indeed a horrible
and disgusting mass. Suddenly one of
the ladies put out her hand, and found
the water was very warm, and so we
paddled off, without stopping to investigate
the shark question auy further.
It may have been the warmth of the
water that attracted them?perhaps its
sulphurous fumes. They were not there
in search of food ; at all events did not
seem to be eating, only playing about,
and enjoying themselves. I hope never
to see such a dreadful sight again. It
seemed a fearful dream. To an old sailor 1
the sight of a single shark is unpleasant
; so just think of this horrid mass of
sharks! On our passage down, we
noticed the sea, full of small dead fish,
floating upon the surface, which we attributed
to some submarine effect of the
volcanic action, which had broken out
only a few days previously.
.Making the Postal Cards.
The Springfield Union says: The
manufacture of postal cards at the Morgan

sheets per minute if desired, but at the
present time the daily product will exceed
000,000. The press is never stopped
unless to clean the rollers or adj ust
some of the machinery, as the hands
take turns in going to their meals. All
night long is heard the steady whirr of
the pulleys, and even Sunday affords
no rest, although the company intend
to observe the Sabbath after next week.
The sorters work nights as well as the
printers, but the cutting machines that
divide the sheets into cards are not
obliged to run all the time to keen np
with the press. The packing will be
performed on the tables inside the fireproof
vault. The Morgan Envelope
Company has met the difficulty that attended
the commencement of a new business
with most commendable promptness,
and we are glad to congratulate
themon their success.

Love and Legislation.
"Not long since," writesa correspondent
of the Detroit Dnilf/ Vnion, " I
met a lady who wns for years the betrothed
of Senator Carpenter. She
loved him with a woman s wild devotion.
She watched every movement of
his life with an intense anxiety. She
was as keenly sensitive to any reproach
cast upon him as if she bore his name
and shared his life. And yet he had
broken his vows end married another.
He had held her heart in thrall, until
she felt that it was worthless to any one.
but him> and then flnng it away as a
discarded thing. He wrote her after
his marriage and received her forgiveness
and her blessing. He cnrvieB with
him still her foudest, sweetest thoughts.
When he Speaks to the Senate there is
an car afar off listening for evt -v word ;
and when he recei>es the plaudits of
taon he thinks perhaps of one whose
smile is worth more than all theirpraises,
who will smile when others frown,
and be* true when all else is false. There
is living in Detroit a venerable and respected
lady who, to those who know
her, is tire heroine of a Btrange story.
She may be seen almost anv day on the
streets, hurrying ffoin her tour of shopping
back to her pleasant little home,
where over her needle and thread her
fancies have full play, and memory is
supreme. She is a woman of rare intellect
and great cultivation, a charming
conversationalist, and an exemplary
Christian. She has been twice married
and twice a widow ; and now, as Time
is drawing his silver tracings through
her hair, she moves alone ! The loved
ones of the past arc gone. Her interests
and her affections draw her toward
the world of spirits. She was in her
vouug davs the betrothed of Jefferson
Davis. Why they never married is not
known. She treasures too dearly the
casket of the past to opon it to other
yes. It may be that to her near and
dear ones she tells the story. I am not
among them, and do not know it. It is
certain, however, whatever may have
prevented the consummation of their
arly plans, she and the rebel President
have never lost their regard for each
other. They still exchange letters, and
watch over each other's welfare. Two
such lives, running in such different
channels, and yet having the sympathy
of heart anil interest, must have much
to attract each other. His hnB been a
life of splendid achievements and ignoble
failnres?full of excitement and
thrilling episodes. Hers, having its
own vicissitudes, borne like a woman,
has been quiet and unobtrusive, bat
perhaps as wonderful as his. "When I
pass her on the street, or see her in
church, I feel like running- to her and
asking for her story. I know it would
be interesting. The sweetheart of Jefferson
Davis ! Who would not like to
go back of his plottings for power, and
his struggle in behalf of treason, and
learn something of his boyhood, and
how he acted when in love.
The Last Hours of Justice Chase.
Chief-Justice Salmon P. Chase, oi
the United States Supreme Court, died
in New York city at ten o'clock Wednesday
morning at No. 4 West Thirty-third
street, the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. William S. Hoyt. Up to Monday
evening, when he received his friende
and conversed with cheerfulness, he appeared
to be in his usual condition ol
good health. He had come to New
York from Washington to visit his
daughter, and with the purpose of proceeding
to Boston. On Sunday he
walked to the Central Park from Mrs.
Hoyt's residence and back, and on
Monday he walked for some distance
down town, paying several visits to
friends on the way. There was nothing
in his condition on Monday evening
when he retired for the night to indicate
that his end was so near. On
Tuesday morning, at the breakfast hour,
Mr. Chase was summoned to the meal.
A servant was sent to call him, but nc
response being returned to the servant's
rap upon the door, the door was opened
and Mr. Chase was found peacefully
slumbering. Ho awoke shortlv afterwards,
and was in the act of dressing
when he was seized with an apoplectic
attack. In spite of every effort to restore
him, he remained in this condition
of stupor until tho hour of ten o'clock
on Wednesday morning, when he ceased
to breathe. Mrs. Sprague, his othei
daughter, and her husband, Senatoi
Sprague, were with him when he died.
It will bo remembered that several
years ago the Chief-Justice was attacked
with partial paralysis, from which
he never fully recovered. He was,
however, fully competent^ to- perform,
as he did, his duties as Chief-Justice oi
the Supreme Court, and of late he has
seemed to be in the enjoyment of complete
health. He had in contemplation,

Important Lawsuits.
Litigation of great importance to persons
holding bonds issued by towns and
counties in behalf of railroad enterprises
is now going forward in the United
States Court for the Western District
of Missouri.
Forty-five different suits have been
brought against towns and counties of
that State for interest on bonds issued
in aid of railroads, which the authorities
of these towns and counties seek to repudiate
; and there is one suit against
Johnson county arising from an issue
- r ninn nnft 1 I 1
OX ?1**0,11/0 IJOIIIIUI BUilooi UU11UO, 1/1IVJ
legality of which is contested. The
county of Henry is sued for 3204,000 in
two suits by A. H. Nicolay, President
of/tlie Board of Brokers in New York,
and the whole amount involved in the
pending litigation will reach nearly two
millions of dollars. There are two suits
against Cass county for ?155,000, of
which .$55,000 is a portion of what are
known as the bloody bonds, being of
the same issue as those which led to the
tragedy at Gunu City, where two or
: threo persons were killed by an armed
mob.
j Au interesting question to be deter[
mined is whether an innocent holder of
bonds is entitled to recover when the
I circumstances of their issue are such
I that they would be invalid in the hands
of the original holders. Nearly all the
plaintiffs in these cases are persons
living in other States, who would come
j under the classification ot innocent noiaers,
as they bought the bonds in good
faith, knowing nothing of any fraud in
their issue, even if such fraud existed.
Treating Them Better.?Convicts in
the Michigan State Prison are hereafter
to bo treated with distinguished consideration.
The Legislature has voted
to free them from the humiliation oi
wearing striped garments, nnd alsc
given them permission to correspond
with their relatives and intimate friends.
The State also devotes funds toward
their education, and gives each one,
when discharged, 810 worth of clothing
and $10 in cash, with such other money
as he may have earned by overwork.
Great Medicine Mem
The principles Which gttided the early I,
physicians were etude and Vtigtie i
enough. Galen'b theory is this: "Given i
a disease, determine its Character as j
hot or cold, moiBt or drV) hy iih eifort j
of imagination ; having done so, select <
a remedy which has been catalogued as 1
fossessing opposite tjuaUti^Ri" Whett (
elii operated oh LotiiB XIV. . for the i
stone, he was so dotibtftll bf pis pthi j
skill, .fts Well thb i'feBillts of it, that, 1
though the operation was successfully i
performed, his agitation was so exces- i
sive that a nervous tremor settled on i
him for life, and in bleeding a friend 1
the next day lie disabled the patient ir- I
reparably. _ ( \
When Felip tie Uire went in search 1
of the Omeguas from Venzuela ho was i
wounded by ft spear just beneath the i
right arm. A Spaniard, who was igno- '
rant of Burgevy, undertook to dure him, (
and De Utre'B coat of mail waB placed j
upon all old Ihdiahi who was mouuted :
ou a horse ; the amateur surgeoh then i
drove a spear into the Indian's body
through the hole in the armor, and his i
body having been opened, the spear being
still kept in the wound, it wtis discovered
that the heart was uninjured;
thus they assumed that l)e litre's wound
was not mortal, and, being treated as if
the wound were an ordinary one, he recovered.
When Henry It, of Prance iraB mortally
wounded by a splinter from a spear
m inung wnii -uoiugumciic, nuiuu entered
liis visor and pierced bis eye, the
surgeons, for the purpose of discovering
the probable injury done to the king,
cut oil the heads of four criminals, and
-thrust splinters into their eyes as nearly
at the same inclination as the futal
one had entered that of the king. Barbers
were surgeons for centuries, and
surgery was barbarous. Henrv V., at
Agincourt, with 30,000 men, had but
one surgeon and fifteen assistants, who
were pressed for the purpose ; and even
these had also to do a little fighting,
three of them at Agincourt being archera.
What happened to patients who had
to submit to operations in those early
days can scarcely be conceived by a
generation accustomed to chloroform
and laughing-gas. Fabricous of Acquapendente,
perceptor of Harvey, tlins
describes what he considers an improved
and easy operation: "If it be a movable
tumor, I cut it away with a red-hot
knife, that scars as it cuts; but if it be
adherent to the chest, I cut it without
bleeding or pain with a wooden or liom
knife soaked in acjua-fortis, with which
having cut the skin, I dig out the rest
with my fingers."
Funeral Rites,
A writer in tne unrwuan uniun
urges various reforms in fnneral rites,
and pronounces funeral processions " a
positive evil and disservice." He says:
There should bo nothing of the sort.
After a funeral service at the house, the
friends and acquaintances should go
away, all but the nearest, and then, or
still better, the next morning, the body
should be entrusted to the tender care
; of some three or four tried and trusted
L friends, not members of the family,
and these should bear it to its final
' resting-place. A parent's heart, a lius1
band's, wife's, or child's, never ought
to be subjected to the fearful tax of
seeing their precious dead lowered into
' the grave by alien and unteuder hands,
1 and hearing the dreadful thud of the
first clods upon the coffin. It is most
! cruel and most barbarous to subject
any near relative or nearest friend to
1 such a test as this. If the whole com1
papy of relatives and friends must go
' to the grave-side, we must contrive
I somehow to make the closing scene less
> hard and withering.
Saratoga battle Monument.
There seems now to be a probability
i that the Battle of Stillwater and the
i surrender of Burgoyne will be duly
[ honored in a monument. In 1859 the
' Legislature incorporated, undera "per
petual charter," the "Saratoga Monu;
raent Association," with a Board of
! fourteen Permanent Trustees as Direc
tors. Some changes in the management
i have been caused by death, and the oth:
er day the charter was amended in the
1 Legislature, and Dr. C. H. Payne, of
Schuylerviile, and Wm. L. Stone, of
New York citv. were named as new
Trustees. Mr. Stone, by his memoirs
1 of General Riedesel and Madame
Riedesel, made himself familiar with
i the entire campaign culminating at Stillwater,
and the appointment is a fitting
compliment to Mr. Stone's researches
: in connection with the location and itit
eidents of the battle-ground of Saratoga.
The ground for the monument
will at once be purchased, and subscripi
tions are solicited.

Ponlli of Jolni Sfuarl Mill.
The death of tlie most illustrious metaphysician
of liis times is announced by
the Atlantic Cable, .ljohii Stuart Mill is
, no ruoro. Great in all the departments
of intellectual research which he essayed,
great in the scope and quality of
his mind, but particularly great in his
mastery and exposition of those social
problems which attract the enlightened
thought of this generation, the loss of
Mill will be felt as an irretrievable calamity
to mankind, for there is no one
left who unites such magnitude of endowment
with such devotion to all that

political science.
Solid Irrigation.?After the spring

have cast their water upon their bread,
. so to speak, or sown their seed and watered
it, there comes a foot of snow
which fills their heart with joy, as being

between Colorado farmers and the
rest of mankind, that the rest are never
happy when a Jfoot of snow covers their

A Beautiful Experiment on Sound.
The following beautiful experiment
described by Professor Tyndall, showi
how music may be transmitted by ai
ordinary wooden rod. In a room twe
floors benenth his lecture room then
was a piano upon which an artist wai
playing, but the audience could nol
hear it. A rod of deal, with its lowoi
end resting upon the sounding-board ol
the piano, extended upward througl
the two floors, its upper end being ex
posed before the lecture-table. But stil
no sound was heard. A violin was ther
placed upon the end of the rod, whicl
was thrown into resonance by the as
cending thrills, and instantly the musi<
of the piano was given out in the lec
ture room. A guitar and a harp wen
substituted for the violin, and with the
same result. The vibrations of the
piano-strings were communicated to the
sounding-board, they traversed the long
rod, were reproduced by the resonanl
bodies above, the air was carved int<
waves, and the whole musical composi
tion was delivered to the listening
audience.
M. Tissandier states that in a lat<
balloon ascent from Paris he reached t
height of 0,500 feet abdVe the earth

A Motley Preacher, <
A Virginia paper reports that during
the exhibition of J a traveling menagerie
and circus in a town of that State,
where there was, at the time, some religions
convocation in session, the painted
jester of the equestrian ring illustra- <
ted his own serious capacity and greatly j
affected an audience, in which many J
church-members were present, by delivering
the following homily: i
j Mt Friends: We have taken in six j
I hundred dollars here to-day; more mon- J
ey, I venture to say, than any minister ,
| of the gospel in tins community wonld
receive for a whole year's services. A
large portion of this money was given
by church members, and a large portion
of this andience is made up of members '
of the church. And yet, when your
preacher asks you to aid in supporting
the gospel, you are too poor to give anything.
Yet you come here and pay dollars
to hear me talk nonsense. I am a
fool because I am paid for it: I make
my living by it. You profess to be
wise, and yet you support me in mv
folly. But perhaps you say you did
not come to see the circus, but animals.
If yeu come simply to see the animals,
why did yen not simply look at them
and leave ? Now", is this not a pretty
place for Christians to be in ? Do you
not feel ashamed of yourselves ? You
out to blush in such a place as this.
The sensation following a speech like
this, in snch a place, from such a speak*
or mnv ho imnarined. The local clergy
availed themselves of the spirit thus
produced and a religious revival was
attempted.
Gov. Smith, of Georgia, has addressed
a letter to the farmers of the West, if
which he says that the four States on
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and South
Carolina uso every year 50,000,000 bushels
more of gram thnn they produce.
They must look to the Western farmers
io supply this deficiency ; any attempt
to raise corn for themselves would be
at the expense of their cotton crops,
and would causO them a loss of at least
$50,000,000 a year.

Manifest Absurdities.
, Is there any good reason why the dictates of
k common seuse should be disregarded in medical
) practice? Surely not. Yet how literally they are
- sometimes set at naught in the treatment of dys\
pepsia, liver complaint, conetlpation, nervoui
prostration and general debility. How often are
, powerful purgatives, emetics, and ealivauts given
j til cases of Indigestion, bilious colic and costtvct
ness, when the disease has already robbed the
f patient of strength ho needs to combat with the
f attack. The absurdity of giving debilitating mediae
ctnes to sick people who aro tso weak already, is
^ so manifest, that it is astonishing how any sane
man can believe in such practice. The rational
. course under such circumstances Is to admlsttr
3 a tonic and regulating medictne, and the expert
etice of a quarter of a century has proved that
. Uostctter's 8tnmach Bitters is the most wholesome

' In the medical repository. It Is, however, something
more than an invigorant and a regulator,
c Its properties as an aperient and anti bilious
agent; inutility when given as an anodyne, Instead
of laudanum, or chloral, or digitalis, or some
>1 other stupefying nacrotlc; its trauqutlizlng ten,1
dcncy in spasmodic afTection, and its palutability,
