Gathering and Salting Bntter.
In the process of churning, separation
commences by the formation of particles
of butter into small and neatly uniform
lumps. In the barrel churn this
uniformity continues, when at the right
temperature, until the lumps have
reached a half pound or more in weight.
When about the size of a butternut, the
milk should be drawn and a pail of pure
cold water added to a batch of sixty -or
seventy pounds in weight. Ice water
must be used in warm weather. The
churn should then be revolved only
enough to thoroughly rinse the mass.
More than this would cause the formation
of too large lumps to permit the
salt to be regally diffused through it.
The water should then be withdrawn,
- - 3 _ l~-i. 1
SUU tt BUUlCWUttb amuiuib auucuf
thp churn again revolved in the same
manner, and the water again -withdrawn*
This second water should present but a
very slightly milky appearance, and
should all be removed. The churn and
its contents should then be placed upon'
the scales and weighed, and by subtracting
the known weight of the churn
the number of pounds of butter will be
obtained. Pure, well-sifted Ashton, or
other salt should then be added in the
proportion of one ounce of salt to each
pound of butter, and the churn again
revolved until the mass is thoroughly
mixed. It can thus be quickly accomplished
without exposure to the warm
air of the room. The amount to be used,
however, should be determined by circumstances.
If designed for the general
market, or to be stored, the amount
specified should be used. If for & spenial
market and for immediate use. the
tastes of the consumers should be consulted.
Sulphur for Gap?t.
Wheu I was boy, some 20years ago,
my mother used to raise 800 to > 00
chickens each season, and 75 to 100 turkeys.
Her manner of treatment was
this: In those days cooking-stoves were
not generally used, especially in the
South, where" Sambo and Sally were the
help; so we had big ovens and big
panes of light bread. In said big ovens
was also the light, pure, puffy biscuit
baked. Well, each morning when the
biscuit for breakfast were taken out,
and the oven yet hot, said Sally made
up a pone of corn meal (unsifted) bread,
with a heaping tablespoonfui of pulverized
sulphur to the quart of meal, mixed
with water and nothing elBe, and
this was fed to the chickens and turkeys
morning and evening, and I never knew
one dozen chickens lost with gapes, as
it is known that sulphur is death to
Earasitical worms. The young turkeys
ad a pill of ground black pepper given
each morning when they appearsd
drooping, until again lively. These
pills are easily made by adding enough
flour to cause adhesion.
l>lnie In the Orchard.
Where apple orchards are kept per
manently in grass, a top dressing of
lime, of eighty bushels to the acre,
every five years, will prove beneficial.
As to whitewashing the trunka of trees,
we give the preparation for. that purpose
prescribed by W. Sauuoers, of the
Government Gardens at Washington.
This wash is made as follows: Put half
a bushel of lithe and four pounds of
powdered sulphur in a tight barrel,
slacking the lime with hot water, the
top of the barrel being covered with a
cloth; this reduced to the consistency
of ordinary whitewash, and at the time
of application half an ounce of carbolic
acid is added to every gallon of
the liquid. Saunders says: "I generally
apply in the spring before the leaivea
make their appearance, but I am convinced
that it would be more effective
if applied later; but then it is difficult
to do so when the tree is in foilage.
Saunders applies the wash not only to
the stem of the tree but to some extent
to the main branches.
I'llng Pari* Green to Dettroy Potato
Beetle*.
In a report to the Legislature of Ohio,
Mr. D. C. Richmond says: There are
but I have found the following the moat
practical: Place a hogshead or ether
water-tight vessel, having a good faucet,
on a wagon, fill the vessel with water,
and take it into the potato field. Put a
heaped tablcspoonfnl of pure Paris
green in a common wooden pail, then
fill the pail with water, and stir until
all the green is taken up by the water.
If the green is not pure, then from one
and a half to two heaped spoonfuls will

teach any person when the mixture is
just right. An old broom is saturated,
and then sprinkled over the vines on
which the larvie or beetles are located.
It is beBt to perform this operation in
bright sunshine?the Paris green will
coat the leaves, and as they are eaten it
is certain death to the larvte or mature
bugs.
How to Make Root Beer.
A good root beer is a desirable thing
in the hot days of summer, not only for
slaking thirst, but also because of its
utility as a tonic. This is the way to
make the real old-fashioned brew:
Take spruce boughs, black birch bark,
sarsaparilla, wiutergreen leaves, sassafras,
yellow dock and dandelion roots ;
boil altogether in a large kettle, with a
handful of hops and two quarts of wheat
bran, and two quarts of molasses.
When boiled enough?two hours or so
?strain through a sieve, cool, and add a
pint of yeast. If not very sweet to the
taste, add more molasses. Let it work
over night and bottle. Secure the corks
tightly and it will foam well. The same
can be made in larger quantities, and
put into a fifteen gallon cask, and
worked from the bung hole for a few
days, but it will not foam so well as if
bottled.
Eyesight of Animals.
Horses and cattle have excellent eye
Bight, even to a very advanced age.
Dogs in a wild state preserve their
vision unimpaired to the extreme period
of their life limitation, while domesticated
dogs see very imperfectly in the
oourse of ten years, if they live so long.
The reason seems to be owing to looking
at fires in the house, exposed to
candle or gas lights, and being about
dwellings where the sphere of vision is
limited by the intervention of fences,
edifices, etc. A free range always in
open air also tends to the preservation
of the vision of wild animals and birds.
Another circumstance contributes to
the preservation of the vision in wild
animals. Perpetual vigilance contributes
to a free circulation in the optic apparatus
and uniform convexity of the
cornea.
Were it not for white writing paper,
artificial light, stimulating drinks which
quicken the circulation to the engorgement
of minute vessels in the interior
of the organs, and passing much of our
time in the midst of reflecting lights
from surrounding objects, our eyes
would be about as good at threescore
and ten as in the early days of childhood.
Long Polar Nights.
Tkc Arctic Reflom-'Eirret of Dtrlutei

The doubtful fate of the Polaris re
calls some interesting reminiscences u
the "two Arctic voyages of d? Kane, a
commander of the Grinnell expedition
sent out to find Sir John Franklin. Aj
equal heroism no* will bring back th<
voyagers for whose return such anxiet;
will be felt four or five months hence
if not sooner. In the second voyagi
Dr. Kane and his party encountera
cold never before endured, the ther
mometer indicating sometimes from 61
I to 75 degrees below zero, with hunger
thirst and disease added. More thai
two months of each year thev existed ii

I lings of twilight. For 124 days the sui
was below the horizon, and j,40 posset

creasing darkness came increasing dis

guishing, not for want of sufficient ex
ercise, for their whole life was one con
tinuous round of exertion when diseas<
did not prevent?not for want of pun
and unadulterated air, but for life-giv
ing influences of the sun. Remarki
scattered through the pages of both o:
Dr. Kane's journals indicate that th<
cunt inued darkness influenced the physi
ological state of the system, and gavt
rise to the various diseases suffered bj
himself and companions. In his narra
tive of the first Grinnell Expedition h<
notices the peculiar paleness which wai
produced by the perpetual night. Un
der date of December 21st, the day pre
ceding their "solstical day of darkness,'
he writes, after noticing the bloodies!
appearance of himself and companions
"In truth, we were all of us at thii
time undergoing changes unconscious

The complexions of my comrades am
my own, too, were toned down to i

Complaints of shortness of breath be

our inclination for food was atbestver^
slight. More than this, our complet*
solitude, combined with the permanenl
darkness, began to effect our morale.'

The anomalous host of evils that hang
about this vegetation in darkness an
showing themselves in all their forms
My scurvy patients, those I mean or
the sick list, with all the care it is pos
sible to give them, are perhaps nc
worse ; but pains in the joints, rheuma

eral debility, extend even to the whole
company. * * * We are a ghastly
set of pale faces, and none paler thai
myself."
In his " Arctic Expedition " he enu
merated other signs of disease, and re
fers to its influence on the brain and tc
an epileptic tendency which was observed
in some instances. Even the dogs,
which he had taken to participate ir
his explorations, were particularly affected
by it. " The influence," says he,
"of this long intense darkness wae
most depressing. Even our dogs, although
the greater part of them were
natives of the Arctic Circle, were unable
to withstand it?most of them died
from an anomalous form of disease, t<
which I am satisfied the absence oi
light contributed as much (? the extreme
cold. * * * I may recur t<
the influence which the long wintei
night exerted on the health of these
much-valued animals. The subject hae
some interesting bearings^but I contenl
1# * 1.1 ,mm.L iX
myseil iur tut; pieoeiii/ mm tittuouiiuiu^
a passage from my journal. * * * *
To-day I give up the last hope of saving
them (the dogs). Their disease is at
clearly mortal as in the case of anj
human being. The more material functions
of the poor brutes go on withoul
interruption ; they eat voraciously, retain
their strength, and sleep well. Bui
all tha indications beyond tliis go tc
prove that the original epilepsy which
was the first indication of brain disease
among them has been followed by 8
true lunacy. They bark prodigious!}
at nothing, and walk in straight and
curved lines with anxious and unwearying
perseverance. They fawn upon yon
without seeming to appreciate the notice
you give them in return, pushing
their heads against your person 01
oscillating with a strange pantomime oi
fear. Sometimes they remain for hours
in moody silence, and then start ofl
howling as if pursued, and run up and
down for hours. * * * Generally
they perish with symptoms resembling
locked jaw, in less than thirty-six hours
sifter the attack."
With all this untold amount of bodilj
and mental suffering, and desolatior
and disease, endured by these ice-bound
voyagers, in this dark and cheerless region,
it is not singular that they should
hail, with exceeding great joy, the approach
of light. Says Dr. Kane, "Tlit
day is beginning to glow with the approaching
sun. The sun, at noon, has
air almost orange tinge. In ten days
his direct rays will reach our hill-tops,
aud iii a week after lie will be dispensing
his blessed medicine amoug our sufferers.
The coming sun will open appliances
of moral help to the sick, and
give energy to the hygienic resorts
which I am arranging at the moment.
* * * For the last ten days we have
been watching the growing warmth ol
the landscape, as it emerged from buried
shadows through all the stages of distinctness
of an India-ink washing, step
by step, into the sharp, bold definition
of a desolate harbor scene. We have
marked every dash of color, which the
Great Painter, in His benevolence,
vouchsafed us; and now empurpled
hues?clear, unmistakable?the spreading
lake, the flickering yellow peering
at all these poor wretches?everything
seemed superlative lustre and unspeakable
glory.
"I saw him (the sun) once more,"
says he, "and upon a projecting crag
nestled in the sunshine. It was like
bathing iu perfumed water."
Local Option In Sew lorK.
Gov. Dix, of New York, vetoed the
Local Option Prohibition bill passed
by the Legislature. The ground of his
objections is the including of malt
liquors in the list of beverages which
may or may not be sold. He thinks
that no municipality should have the
privilege of voting on the question oi
licensing whiskey-shops, because the
bill, as passed bvlhe Legislature, shuts
up the voter to but one choice on all
liquors, including ale and beer. The
Assembly refused te pass the bill ovei
the Governor's veto.

f Whereas, Under the pretence that
j Wm. P. Kellogg, the present Executive
of Louisiana, and the officers associated
0 with him in the State Administration
7 were not duly elected, certain turbulent

subject, tacitly recognized the said
Executive and his associates then, as
now, in office, by refusing to take any
action with respect thereto ; and
[ Whereas, It isprovided by the Con3

; Rain-Fall in the United States.
r The extensive work on the rain-fall in
i the United States, lately published by
T the Smithsonian Institution, will be in'
valuable to engineers and others to
' whom are referred the great questions
s of improving the navigation of the riv*
ers of tbis country. By means of such
1 tables as are given in this volume a few
t minutes' computation enables one to
r determine the area of country that
I must be drained in order to secure a
' water supply sufficient for any specified
1 purpose. The engineers of Europe
" have long been sensible of the great
! practical value of works of this nature,
' and we have before us a chart of the
[ rain-fall of Switzerland, showing, by
1 carefully drawn isohyetalB, the minutest
r detail of the annual precipitation (in1
eluding the melted snow of winter).
' The construction of this chart, which is
' probably preliminary to a far more elab1
orate exhibit, is based on the returns
during the six years 1864-1869, from
the ninety-seven stations of the Switz1
erland hydrometric commission of the
^ " Naturforschenden " Society. A comSarison
of the data for some of the
wiss lakes with those for the great
" lakes of America may prove of interest.
! Thus we have the annual rain-fall for
Lake Geneva, 39.4 inches ; for Lake
1 Neuchatel, 37.4 ; for Lake Zurich, 46.2;
1 for the Boden-See, 43.3 inches. On the
, 1, tvnm tV>a Smith.

' sonian charts, for Lake Ontario, 32 ; for
' Lake Erie, 38; for Lake Huron, 30;
' Lake Michigan, 30Lake Superior, 28
1 inches; and for Salt Lake, Utah, 20
1 inches.
The ratio of rain-fall to evaporation,
; and the resulting volume of water flow|
ing into the rivers, are among the moBt
[ interesting of the questions that come
before hydraulic engineers. Mr. Ben1
teli, the author of the Switzerland rain
1 chart, lias studied theBubject, and finds
1 that in the area drained by the Aar only
1 eighteen per cent, of the rain-fall is lost
by evaporation; the remainder flows
into the river past the city of Aarau.
The neighborhood of the Grimsel.and
of Mount St. Bernard, is the region of
the heaviest rain and snow fall in all
Europe, the annual fall being measured
as 98.4 inches. The Smithsonian rain
charts give 80 inches for the extreme
northwest coast of Washington Terri1
tory, and 60 inches for Southern Florida,
as the points of heaviest rain-fall
within the United States.
Wealth of Dairying Districts.
The wealth of some of our dairying
districts is enormous. Herkimer, New
1 York, is said to ship annually over 17,000,090
pounds of cheese, and 300,000
1 pounds of butter, worth $4,500,000.
! Little Falls, N. Y., perhaps as much.
, St. Albans, Vermont, ships 1,000,000
i pounds of cheese, 2,750,000 pounds of
1 butter, worth in the market $1,250,000.
i The village of Wellington, Ohio, shipped
4,000,000 pounds of cheese in 18G9,
worth $500,000. The products of the
dairy are sold for cash, and hence the
[ returns are quick. This industry enj
ables the manufacturer to reduce a large
5 bulk of food into snmll compass,
- through the two processes of feeding
- cows and manufacturing tfce productions.

Most' of the leading ncwpapers printed
in English in the metropolis "are
owned by joint stock companies. The
exceptions are the Herald, the exclusive
property of James Gordon Bennett;
the World, which Manton Marble has
had no partner in for several years; and
the Evening Express, whose proprietors
are Erastus Brooks and James Wilton
Brooks, son of the late James Brooks.
The Times has at present, it is said,
but four stockholders?E. B. Morgan,
George Jones, Mrs. Taylor, widow of
James Taylor, and Andrew V. Stont,
President of the Shoe and Leather
Bank. -f
The Tribune stockholders, notwithstanding
the reports to the contrary,
, have not materially changed since the
death of Horace Greeley, the resignation
of Samuel Sinclair, the publisher,
and the purchase of fifty-one Bhares by
William Orton, of the Western Union
Telegraph, and his reselling to the old
dynasty all his shares but one. The
stockholders are understood to be as
follows: "Whitelaw Reid, 51 shares; Dr.
J. C. Ayer, 14; Horace Greeley's estate,
tfc Bayard Taylor, 4; H. Parsons Farnham,
8; Silas Cheney (Mr. Greeley's

making up the 100 shares.
The Ann is mainly owned by Charles
A Dana, Marshall O. Roberts, William
Hitchcock, and Isaac H. England,
though there are a number of small
stockholders.
The Journal of Commerce has not
more than three or four stockholders,
the principal of whom is David M.
Stone, occupying the position of editorin-chief.
The Evening Poet is owned by William
Cullen Bryant, Ieaac Henderson,
and Parke Godwin. Mr. Henderson has
by far the largest interest, but by mutual
consent, the responsible editoral
control during his life-time is vested in
Mr. Bryant, with his son-in-law, Mr.
Godwin, as executive chief.
The Commercial Advertiser is a joint
stock concern. The capital stock is
$72,000, in shares of $1,000 each, held
by Hugh J. Hastings, Henry Smith,
ThurlowWeed,Thomas|Murphy,Thomas
E. Stewart, Jenkins Van Schaick, and
Mrs. A. Maverick. The first named
owns just sufficient to constitute a majority,
and thus secures control of the
paper and the power to hoist his name
at the head of the columns. No dividend
was declared last year, it is said,
the manager preferring to surprise his
fellow-stockholders with a large sum towards
a building fund.
James Johnston, formerly assistant
publisher of the Evening Post, is the
principal owner of the Evening Mail,
and, being in ill health, is represented
by his brother Robert, who, being
Scotch, partakes of the characteristics
of the race for thrift. Cyrus W. Field
was an owner. Of late, its editor, J.

The War in Anhantee.
There are hopes of a favorable termination
of the war in Ashantee, the scene
of the action of which is about twentysix
miles from the coast, whither all
able-bodied males in Cape Coast Castle
have now been called. These with the
Fantee tribes of the protectorate will
muster about 50,000 men. The Ashantees
number about 12,000, and the forces
of the Drotectorate form a crescent in
front of them. The Ashantees are short
of ammunition, but being very bravo
will probably fight as long as there is
any hope for them. The cause of the
war was as follows : Elminah and its
territories (about six miles from Cape
Coast Castle) were lately ceded to the
English by the Dutch. Up to the time
of the ceding the Dutch Government
had paid a yearly present of 8400 to the
King of Ashantee, and, besides, gave
him $40 for every man he supplied to
them for the native army recruited for
service in their other colonies. These
men were all captives taken in battle by
the king. He would have slaughtered
them had not the Dutch market been
open to him. When England became
{ possessed of Elminah the diplomatists
[ set aside these " vested rights " of the
King of Ashantee, and instead of sending
word to him before the transfer took
place and offering to compromise, the
chief administrator, Mr. Pope Hcnnessy,
in spite of the counsels of experienced
men, took no notice of the
claims of the king. This was both a
slight and an injustice and festered in
his mind, and some time afterwards
when Mr. Hennessy sent a messenger to
the king, asking him to release certain
missionaries and offering $5,000 if they
should be sent to Cape Coast Castle,
I the messenger was made prisoner and
the king's answer was the descent of
15,000 savages on the protectorate,
whereby great loss of life and property
was occasioned.
The Sun's Heat,
An interesting computation has been
I made of the amount of force imparted
to the earth by the sun's heat. According
to the best investigations that have
been made, there is received in one
minute enough heat to raise the temperature
of five and a half cubic miles
of water one degree Centigrade. If,
now, we compare this with the work
done by a given amount of heat, as
\ - - A ! -*1 ill 1 .
utilized in a Bteam engine, it win ue
found that the heat Bent to the earth in
the sun's rays during the space of one
minute is able to do as much work as
would be done by two thousand steamengines
of one hundred horse-power
each, working continuously for the
space of four thousand years.
What becomes of this inconceivably
great amount of power is worthy of
consideration; and we begin to realize
the nature of the problems of the future
scientists when we reflect that by
far the larger part of this heat force expends
itself upon the earth in actual
work, only a small portion of it being
radiated into space. Of course the result
accomplished, such as the maintenance
of the temperature of the earth,
ocean, and atmosphere, the stimulating
of animal and vegetable life, etc.,
etc., must be the equivalent of the
power retained by our globe.

To Catch a Canary. ^
At thin season oI the feat, when it ?
behooves us to scrub and fe-gravel our cj
bird-cages;-it's more than likely that ti
your canary will get out.
In such a case prompt and decisive
action is required. -It is useless for Hl
the whole family to collect and shout at jj
the canary and make desperate attempts
to waft pocket-handkei chiefs uflus him. (
Life is too short to be wasted in this : H1
way. p
And maddened to clap hats s<
over him generally amount to very lit- ^
tie, especially when he is up a tree. &i
And just here we may remark, that
there are few methods of taking exercise
that may be relied upon to hold r<
out like that of following a loose canary f
around a village, reaching out at arm's *
length toward him a good-sized birdcage,
and endeavoring by a series of d
monotonous and irrelevent chirps to ?
make him believe he wants to go in. p
Sugar and cuttle-fish bone, as engines *
of seduction, are not to be depended ^
upon. The average coaxation into o
cages by sugar of the ordinary canary h
of North America is in the proportion 0
of a wheelbarrowful of the one to a
feather of the other. * t]
We will also state in this connection 8
that a man with new shoes on, and a it
big cage in one hand, can furnish an D
interesting spectacle to over forty bystanders
by simplv climbing a tree to
offer wiry blandishments to an enfran- : t(
chised canary.
The real way to catch a loose canary, 2
I and the only way which can be warrant
ed for a term of years, is to collect all
your friends and family and post them
around the tree or fence where the
canary is at bay. Let them all furnish 1
themselves with plenty of bits of kind- p
ling wood, sods of grass, lumps of dirt, ?
hunks of brick, curry-combs, Bootjacks, p
porter-bottles, and other handy missiles, b
and let them fire away boldly at the
canary. If the bird cowardly turns tail;6
and flies off, let everybody follow and q
slam-bang at him with their utmost
vigor. It will be hard to confine this 11
entertainment to your immediate circle, t
No boy whose heart is in the right 1
place and who has any legs will refrain 0
from the pursuit, and there are men t
who would leave a dentist's chair to a
mingle in the fray. There are cases,
too, where a funeral would hang by a
thread, as it were, in the vicinity of a1
canary-hunt. Even from the windows j1
of upper rooms, where sickness or dis-1?
habille may detain unfortunate en- >1
thusiasts, there will come, ever and !1
anon, a frantic wash-bowl or a whizzing i J
lamp-chimney to testify the university t
of the public interest. Of course, in ?
this rapid free distribution of fire-wood
and paving material, it will not be long i
before several of your relations will 1
wish they had brought a tin umbrella 1
along. But considerations of mere per- n
aonal comfort must not be allowed to
interfere. If you keep this up long
enough, and you all fire pretty straight, "
you 11 oe sure to get jour cauary. juiu
tbeu you cau have him stuffed. Beau- *
tiful glass eyes can be had for twenty
cents a pair; but you had better buy *
your glass eyes by the dozen, for of 1
course you'll soon be getting another *
canary, so as not to waste the cage.
Civilized Indians.
The Indian Commissioners state that
nearly five-sixths of the 300,000 Indians I
of the United States and Territories are
civilized or partially civilized. The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs divides j
them as follows: Civilized, 97,000;
semi-civilized, 125,000; wholly bar-1 *
barous, 78,000. Of the civilized In- j
dians the Cherokees are the most ad- 1
vanced. They number 15,000, and have
a reservation in the Indian Tsrritoiy of i
four million acres. "They have their 1 j
own written language, their national <
constitution and laws, their churches, j
schools, and academies, their' judges ]
and courts. Their dwellings consist i
of 500 frame and 3,500 log houses. Dur- j
ing the year 1872 tney raised 3,000,000 :
bushels of corn, besides large quantities
of wheat, oats, and potatoes, their
aggregate crops being greater than
those of New Mexico and Utah com- (
bined. Their stock consists of 16,000
horses, 75,000 neat cattle, 160,000 hogs,
and 9,000 sheep. The CherokeeB have
sixty schools in operation, with an ag- j
negate attendance of 2,133 scholars. ]
Three of these Bchools are maintained ;
for the instruction of their former negro ]
slaves." There are in the Indian Ter- <
| ritory from 40,000 to 45.000 Indians in j
the same general condition as the j
Cherokees.

PERIIY DAVIE PAIN-KILLER.
It has been teated in every variety of climate, and 1
by almost every nation known to Americans. It is I
tho almost constant companion and inestimable
i friend of tbe missionary and traveler, on sea and ]
land, and no one should travel on our lakes or rivers ,
without it.
Its Mcrits arb Unsttopassrd.
I If you are sufforing from INTERNAL PAIN,
Twenty to Thirty Drops in a Little Water will al- <
' most instantly cure you. Tntrt is nothing equal to 1
it. Iu a few moments it cures ,
, Colic, Cramps, Spasms, Heart-hum, Diarrhoea, |
1 Dysentery, Flux, Wind in the Dowels, Sour (
i Stomach, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache.
Cures CHOLERA, when all other Remedies Fail.
It gives Instant Relief from Ashing Teeth. I
In sections of the country where Frvia and !
Acini prevails, there is no remedy held in greater j
esteem.
Fon Pitch and aocc.?Take three tablespoonfuls
of the Pain-Killer in about half a pint of hot
water, well eweoteued with molasses as the attack
is comiug on. Bathing freely the chest, back, and
bowels with the Pain-Killer at the same time. Re- j
peat the dose in twenty minutes if the first does not
stop the chill. Should it produce vomitino (and it [
probably will, if tho stomach it very foul), take a | <
little Pain-Killer in cold water sweetened with
sugar after each spasm. Perseverance in tbe above .
treatment has cured many severs and obstinate ( ,
cases of this disease.

The Great Summer Inrlgorant.
The human tklu Is as full of hold as a fine slave,
'trough these millions of orlflcas a considerable
or lion of the waste matter of the system exudes,
lut In warm summer weather, when the flow of
eraplratlon Is excessively copious, something
esldes the exhausted material of the body is
vaporated. Nutritive elements of the blood, reuired
for the sustenance and support of the living
rams, pass through the pores, and the result Is a
ass of strength and vigor. It wonld be dangerous
o eheek the leakage, for every pore is at once a
entilatlon and an escape pipe, and constipation
f the skin is as detrimental to health as constipaion
or the bowels. The wisest course is to rslnforce
nd vitalise the languid system with Hostetter's
tomach Bitters, and thus enable It to bear without
terll or lnconvenlenco the extraordinary drain,
'he debility, lassitude and depression of spirits
o general in hot weather, and which are teo often
he precursors of bilious attacks and painful affeclons
of the bowels and the nerves, quickly dlsaplear
under the invigorating and regulating operaIon
of this unequaled vegetable stimulant and
Iterative. To the feeble It ti an article of prime
lecessity at all eeaiona, and ai even the robust are
pt to wilt and languish under the devitalising
nfluence of a fervid temperature, the Bitters can
10 conscientiously recommended as a healthful
ummer ionic for all.
