Patent Wagon Lubricant*.
A resin-lime soap, prepared by stirring
80 pounds of dry-slaked lime into
100 pounds of rosin oil, and heating,
with continued stirring, until a pasty
mass, free from lumps, is formed, which
finally runs from the stirrer like sirup,
is a principal ingredient of different
forms of patent axle grease. Some of
these are prepared as follows : Blue, by
boiling 500 pounds of crude rosin oil,
one hour, with twe pounds of dryslaked
lime, allowing it to cool, drawing
off the oil from the sediment, and
stirring into it, while still warm, 10 to
12 pounds of the above soap, until a
blue mass of the consistency of butter
is obtained. Yellow, by adding to this
six per cent, of an extract of turmeric,
prepared by boiling one part of turmeric
with 20 of soda-lye. Black, by adding
two pounds of lampblack, rubbed up
with rosin oil, to 100 pounds of the blue
mass. Patent palm-oil lubricant is
made by melting and stirring together
10 pounds of the resin soap and ten
pounds of palm oil, and then mixing in
500 pounds of rosin oil, and enough soap
(2-3 pounds),-to give the consistency of
butter; and, finally, seven to eight
pounds of soda lye, obtained from TO
pounds calcined carbonate of soda, 200
pounds -water, and 35 pounds lime, as
milk of lime. The cheap, thick, residual
oils from the manufacture of paraffine,
can be improved as lubricants,
by thickening them by melting them
with lead soap. Mixtures of petroleum,
rosin oil and resin soap, are frequently
used as lubricants, as well as glycerine.
Thinning Fruit.
No person can expect the largest
measure of success in fruit-growing
until he \>r she becomes convinced of
* the absolute necessity of relieving overburdened
branches. It may be pardonable
to permit a tree or vine to bear
specimens early, though at the cost of
vigor and productiveness in the future.
But if permanent good results are
sought the heroic process of thinning
must be resorted to. There are trees
which will bear large crops of choice
fruit, but they are rare. Money would
be made if half the fruit of all the trees
in the country were removed every year.

has become so by having room and a
full supply of nourishment, will give
far greater satisfaction, and have more
real value than twice the weight in small
apples of the same sort which have
grown thick together, and been pinched
and starved. In thinning it is desirable
to seek sunlight, that high color may be
obtained, but too much sun is decidedly
injurious, for undue evaporation takes
place and the color changes to a sickly
yellow, or a hard red, and the quality
is impaired. All fruit needs the protection
of leaves, and judgment must be
used. Much will of course depend on
the climate, as in a dry and hot one,
more shade is necessary than in a moist
and cloudy one. "While the coloring
process is going on, especially with
grapes, some shade is absolutely essential.

The Potato Bug.
Eastern farmers could be much benefited
by taking note of our experience
with the potato bug. I see now how I
might have made much money by using
the experience of farmers further West,
where the bugs first made their appearance,
for the price of potatoes has more
than doubled. I find the cost and applying
of Paris green is not more than
$5 an acre. It is a sure remedy. Are
you skeptical ? Then just put a pint in
the centre of your linen handkerchief,
take hold of the four corners of it anil
give it a shake over each hill, then examine
four days afterward, and you'll
be convinced by the great slaughter.
Yet there are people here who spend
about 50 days' work on each aero in
picking bugs by hand, and in sweeping
tnem in a tin pan with a wisp broom.?

Official Report of the Wheat Crop.
The Agricultural BureaH at Washington
issue the lollowing official report
of the condition of the wheat crop :
The winter wheat is mostly harvested.
Of 753 counties from which reports
have been received, 202 are above the
average, 108 average and 381 below.
Of 300 counties reporting spring wheat
103 are above the average, 115 average
and 68 below. The average of winter
wheat is somewhat increased, though
many fields have been winter-killed
and ploughed up for spring wheat and
other crops. The acreage of spring
wheat is very largely increased, and
especially in the Northwest is unusually
promising.
The indications of the crop of 1873
are considered at least equal to those of
June, 1872, when the Department estimated
the prospective crop at 220,000,000
bushels. Subsequent conditions of
growth raised the first estimate of the
year in the annual report of 1872 ( not
yet published) to 210,997,020 bushels.
With equally favorably conditions the
yield may be safely set down at 250,000.000
bushels. Insect ravages, how
ever, are reported in the spring wheat,
indicating serious loss in some localities.
No National Costumes at Vienna.
" We are rather disappointed," writes
a correspondent from Vienna, " in our
expectation of seeing people dressed in
the costumes of all nations among the
exhibitors and spectators. On the contrary,
there was nothing to indicate that
we were on this side of the Atlantic in
the dress of any one, except two greasy
and dirty-looking Syrians, in their long
gowns, which we passed in the grounds.
All, even Turks, wore the European
dress, except that the latter retained
their red skull-caps, with a long black
tassel hanging down. Even the Chinese
have cut off their tails, donned coats,
pantaloons, vest, necktie, and felt hat,
and no longer attract attention except
from their almond-shaped eyes."
Thirteen persons were injured, two of
them seriously, by a railroad collision
between excursion trains on the Atlantic
and Paoii^ Railroad near St. Loois.
A Fatal Tiger Hnnt.
A fatal tiger hunt, whose details are
worthy the graphic pen of a Cummings,
occurred recently at Chudderghout,
India. The victim was Mr. Jos. Gay, a
young man connected with the English
Public Works Department. A man-eater
had been infesting the region where he
was stopping, and many had fallen victims.
Hearing of his depredations, Mr.
Marrett, English engineer in the place,
and a keen sportsman, started in pursuit,
accompanied by Mr. Gay, who was
staying with him and anxious to witness
a tiger hunt. Armed each with a rifle,
and assisted by four shikarees, also
armed, the party soon collected a batch
of |beaters and tom-tom wallahs, who
were set to work to drive the tiger out
of his hiding place.
Mr. Marrett and ono of the shikarees
took up their position under a tree,
while Mr. Gay, who by the way, was a
novice in such matters, with the other
shikarees climbed tip the tree. All were
now eagerly on the look-out, when suddenly
the man-eater, with a terrible
growl, made a spring from an adjacent
thicket at Mr. Marrett, who had just
sufficient time to drop on his knee and
fire, the ball striking the animal on the
lower jaw, which it completely shattered.
Before Mr. Marrett could rise the
tiger was upon him. A desperate struggle
was the consequence, and the tiger,
Mr. Marrett and shikaree all rolled oyer
each other in the melee.
Mr. Gay, who was perched upon the
tree exactly overhead, while trying to
change his position in order to have a
better shot at the tiger, lost his footing,
and fell straight upon the back of
the infuriated animal, which immediately
turned upon him most savagely,
attacking him with his claws alone, as
his under jaw was rendered useless from
the shot he had received from Mr. Marrett's
rifle.
On Mr. Marrett regaining consciousness,
he found he was deserted by all
except the shikaree who was knocked
down with him in the encounter, but
who was not much hurt; and a few paces
off was the man-eater, still engaged in
mauling and mangling his helpless
victim.
His first impulse was to seize hisrifle;
but this was found to be perfectly useless,
it having been considerably damaged
during the struggle with the tiger.
The brute now seeing Mr. Marrett move
about, left Mr. Gay and retired a short
distance, apparently waiting to see
what his intentions were.
Mr. Marrett?who, strange to say,
was only slightly wounded?and his
faithful shikcree ran up at once to the
rescue of Mr. Gay; but no sooner had
they approached the prostrate form
than the monster made a dash at them,
and once mere took possession of his
victim, standing right across the almost
lifeless body and looking around with
an air of conscious strength and defiance,
and challenging as it were anyene
to approach him.
The beaters and others who had all
this time remained inactive and silent
spectators of what was being enacted at
a distance, now gradually approached,
and after a groat deal of persuasion,
Mr. Marrett induced them to charge
the brute in a body, and with the aid of
tom-toms, Ac., succeeded in frightening
him away to a neighboring hill, where
he was soon lost sight of.
Mr. Gay was taken home and for a
time seemed to progress favorably, but
a choking sensation at last seized him
and he expired, a victim of his first tiger
hunt.
A Stowaway Dog.
Many years ago, upon returning from
a residence in Italy, we took a steamer
from Leghorn to Liverpool to avoid the
fatigue of the land journey. On coming
into port at Marseilles we were detained
several days, the ship's boatsplying between
the steamer and the shore, the
harbor being, as usual, crowded with
ships of everj* nation and description.
On the second day after leaving port a
most miserable, half-starved dog, (terrier),
one side of whose body was a
mass of pitch, was observed to crawl
upon the companion-ladder, giving n
terrified look around him.
Much surprised at the sight of the
wretched animal, the captain exclaimed,
< " Whose dog can this be ?" and the inquiry
went round among the several
: passengers and crew. No one owned
him, and the steward following him on
deck explained that he had found the
poor creature hidden away in an empty
berth. Captain M., a kind and humane
man, proposed to adopt him as one of
the ship's company, and setting h.m up
oh his hind legs made a pretence of giv|
ing him a dozen as a punishment forhis
coming on board as a stowawav, greatly
to the amusement of the children, anil
then named him Jack.
A sailor greased his coat and set him
i free from the witch, makincr him look
more respectable ; and with good living
and kind treatment Jack soon recovered
his spirits and seemed, out of gratitude,
to attach himself specially to the cap:
tain.
If spoken to in any other language
than English lie would remain quite un
concerned, but "Good dog," "Good
old fellow," would make him wag his
tail and look happy.
I Before coming into the itfersey we
took in our pilot. Then a sudden change
came over Jack, who had been a most
i quiet, peaceeble traveler ; he grewquite
excited, running up and down, on to the
bridge, and jumping up to get a look
over the side; so great was his evident
excitement the nearer we came to Liverpool
that he attracted the attention of
every one on board. On reaching our
destination, and while as yet the steamer
had scarcely stopped, the ropes for
: mooring being only thrown on shore,
Jack was observed to mount a case oi
oranges placed at the side of the steamer,
and with one bound leap on shore in
a moment.
" Follow that dog," cried the captain
to a man standing on the wharf, "and
see where he goes." Off set the man,
and after some time returned quite out
of breath, saying he had been obliged
to give over the chase, Jack having set
off at a quick run up one street and
down another, evidently taking the
nearest road home. The curious fact
was how the dog's instinct enabled him
to choose out of the many ships lying
around one whose destination was Liv
erpool. How lie came on board none of
the sailors could tell; but that he was
doing wrong he evidently kaew by hidiug
himself away until discovered by
the steward.
The Shall of Persia is prohibited, by
j etiquette, from ever walking up stairs,
and he is therefore reduced to the necessity
of sleeping perpetuallv 011 the
ground floor, just like the Louisville
journalists, who sleep on the ground
floor because they have a peculiar ten1
dency to drop out of windows at night.
Chinese Funeral at Belleville, "S. J.
Paeullnr Ctrrmonlei Over the Corpse of a
Chinese Laundryman.
Lu Ching Choo, -who had served for
two years in Capt. Harvey's laundry at
Belleville, N. J., died surrounded by
his friends and countrymen. Lu Ching
Clioo had become a foreman and was
well liked by all his fellow washermen
in Belleville. On his death bed he commissioned
the interpreter of the laundry
to convey to his wife in the flowery
kingdom the intelligence of his death.
When he was at the point of death his
fellow-laundrymen gathered around the
bedside first to mutter in their vernacular
fervent supplications to Joss, and
then to look on in melancholy silence at
the death struggle of their countrymen.
When he breathed his last there was a
loud clattering of wooden shoes, for
i.1 ?b ^ A/1 /Iflofll
UlUC>t5 V> liU UilU nui 1UUUUCU vuu uvnvu MVM
were hastening to their respective quarters
in search of joss sticks which they
ceremoniously distributed among their
countrymen without distinction, whether
faithful or Christianized. There was
hardly a word uttered. The Celestials
seemed to act automatically after the
death.
The next afternoon the corpse was
placed in a freshly-bleached blouse and
a pair of baggy pantaloons. Its jet
black pigtail was arranged with taste ;
nor was the corpse wanting in a new
pair of wooden shoes to make easy its
invisible journey to the Land of Flowers.
Without a coffin or shroud, the
mortal remains of Lu Ching Choo were
borne slowly and silently down the
stairs of the* laundry, followed by his
brethren. On reaching the place of
burial the Celestials filed off in good order,
and nearly formed a circle around
the grave. Lu Ching Choo was reverently
lowered iute the grave, and this
ceremony was followed by a jinglincr of
strange prayers. Then the interpreter,
who seemed to superintend the burial
service,, lighted a pile of papfrs and
threw them into the grave. Each of
the Chinamen increased the burning
pile by throwing other pieces of paper
on it. They burned joss sticks and
piously cast them into the grave, so
| that the soul of the departed might asJ
cend in the flames and smoke to a realm
of perpetual happiness. After the covering
of the grave, prayers were muttered,
and two-cent and one-cent pieces
were distributed among the spectators.
Whit Causes Baldness.
Dio Lewis accounts for the baldness
of men in a very simple way?their
habit of keeping the head cohstantly
covered. He says that you never see a
man lose a hair below where the hat
touches his skull. It will take it off as
clean as you can shave it down to
exactly that line, but never a hair below,
not if he has been bald fifty years.
The common black stiff hat, as impervious
as sheet iron, retains the heat
and perspiration. The little hair-glands,
which bear the same relation to the
hair that the seed wheat does to the
plant above ground, become weak from
the presence of the moisture and heat,
and finally become too weak to sustain
the hair. It falls out, and baldness
exists. A man with a good head of hair
needs very little protection whero the
hair grows. " And vet," he says, " we
men wear immensely thick fur caps,
and what amounts to sheet-iron hats,
and do not dare step out in a chilly
atmosphere a moment less we take cold.
It is silly, weak, and really a serious
error. The Creator knew what he was
about when he covered a man's skull
with hair. It was a very important
function in protecting the brain. Bald,,ness
is a serious misfortune. It will
never occur in any man who will wear
such a hat as I do?a common high silk
hat .with five hundred holes through
the top, so that there shall be more
hole than hat. This costs nothing ; the
hatter will do it when you purchase
your hat. If the nap be combed back
the wrong way, and if after the holes
are made it be combed the right way,
no one will ever observe the peculiarity.
The hat will wear quite as long?tfie
hatters say considerably longer?be
cause it is ciry msieau oj iikmnl ; m
brief, there is not a single objection to
it, while it will certainly prevent baldness,
keep the top of the head cool, and
prevent much headache.
A Little too Late.
Competition is said to bo .the "life
of trade," writes a correspondent, and
I suppose it is ; but it may bo carried
to extremes, as, I think, the Drawer
will admit after reading this. Having
been appointed to administer on the
estate of a neighbor recently deceased,
I was greatly annoyed by solicitations
; for an order for the grave-stones for the
! departed. After some three or four
I weeks a very gentlemanly "nsarblemnn"
introduced himself, told mo his
business, and asked for "the job." I
replied that as soon as it was known
a person was dangerously ill, "a gravestone
man" made his appearance, de'
manded "the job," and asked for the
inscription for the head-stone. He
replied that lie knew it was so, and added,
"/don't do it, and I won't, for it
isn't decent; but I often find myself in
the same 'fix' that Deacon B was
in."
"How was that?" I asked.
"Why," said he, "old Deacon B
had long had his eye on Mrs. W ,
whose husband had for several weeks
lingered o? the borders of the grave. A
few days after the funeral of Brother
W the deacon made a friendly call
on the widow, and-in the course of the
conversation remarked that he proposed
to offer her the consolation of his hand
and heart, which he hoped would not
be unacceptable to her. 'Oh, deacon,'
she replied, 'you are too late: Elder
(.' spoke fo me at the grave!'"
Mr. Christopher Shearer, a fruit farmer
near Reading, Pennsylvania, has
probably the largest refrigerator in the
country. It isfitty-five feet square, and
holds, when fi;l?d, about one hundred
and forty cartloads of ice and four thousand
bushels of fruit. Last fall Mr.
Shearer placed in it one thousand seven
hundred bushels of apples, four hundred
and fifty bushels of Bartlett and
fifty bushels of Lawrence pears. His
brother, who is the owner of an adjoining
farm, also stored one hundred
bushels of apples in it, some of which
are still there and as solid as when they
were taken from the trees.

The Enemy of the Snakes.
How Hog* Dmroy the Serpent*.
The Anglo-Saxon or American differs
from the effete East Indian respecting
veneration for snakes. He kills the
snake and fosters the hog, who is decidedly
the most inveterate snake-killer
of the two. When the Anglo-American
undertakes the settlement of a new
country, he wants three things above nil
others : An axe, a rifle, and a hog. If
he chances vo go into the wilderness
alone, however, the hog soon follows as
an inevitable consequence. Just in
proportion as the hog multiplies and
increases in a newly-settled country, in
the same ratio do serpents and poisonous
reptiles disappear. It is not meant to
be implied that any such motive as
snake-killing enters into the calculations
of the frontiersman in raising hogs. In
general, he does not give the snakes
that may infest his neighborhood a
thought. He kills them when they
nnmfi in his wav. and forcets them.
while his tail, slightly erected ana tremulous
with nervous energy, gave forth
from the tapering rattle at its extremity
that peculiar, sharp, ringing sound a
person never forgets who has heard it
once. The sow, with bristles erect and
tusks bare, circled round the snake,
gnashing her teeth, grunting and snarling
at him with rage. She showed
game, but nothing like the nerve of her
sinewy antagonist. The sow made divers
demonstrations or feintsj to which
the snake responded by striking from
half-coil, but each time instantly recovering
himself. At length, the sow
coming within his reach, the snake
made a desperate spring of his entire
length, fastening his fangs in her fore
leg as she sprang away from him. Tho
sow ga ve an agonized squeal, but quickl
disengaged herself, and before the
snake could recover his coil her foot
was on his neck, and in another instant
she had snapped off his head.
A Valuable Religious Work.
The great want of the day has been a
popular religious work, suited to the
comprehension of the masses, which
should occupy the broad ground of
Orthodox Christianity, and carefully
avoid all sectarian issues. This want
has been supplied in the work which
the National Publishing Co. of Philadelphia,
have just issued, entitled
"The Light in the East." It is a
handsome octove volume, of 850 pages,
illustrated with over 200 tine engravings,
by the best artists of England and
America.
The title of the book has Ween well
chosen ; since the volume contains a
clear and comprehensive condensation
- ? t nil 1 1
01 All tile Diesseu ngni unit huh uuwueu
upon us from the East. The basis of
the work is Fleetwood's Life of Christ,
that exquisite production of one of the
most brilliant divines of the last century.
It tells the story of the Redeemer's life
and sufferings, with simple eloquence
and fervor, and is so conservative in its
spirit, that men of all denominations
have united in cordially endorsing it.
Following the Life of Christ we have
brief, but comprehensive biographies
of the Apostles, the Prophets, the
Martyrs, and the principal Holy Men
and Women of the Jewish dispensation
and the early church. They are admirably
written, and contain a vast
amount of entertaining and instructive
reading covering all the ground from
St. John to the Reformation.
Added to these is a history of the
Jews, embracing the entire narrative of
the Scriptures, and extending it down
to the begiuningof the present century.
This constitutes a very attractive feature
of the book, and will be eagerly read
by all. There is nothing so interesting
or thrilling in all the range of romance
as the history of the chosen people of
God. Then follows a series of sketches
of the principal religious denominations
of the world, in all ages, which is full
of instruction nnd valuable for reference.
The book closes w'th a Chronological
table, by means of which the
render is enabled to follow the imurress
of the Gentile world, whilst Israel was
working out her destiny.
Thus we have in this splendid volume
a complete nml comprehensive library
of religious literature. The Editor has
included in it all that it is essential for
a Christian to know, and much that is
pleasant to read of. The book is decidedly
the most attractive and useful
volume of its kind that we have seen,
and is sure to commend itself to every
reader. It should have a pl^ce in every
Christian household, for it is a summary
of the labors and researches of the
i most learned Biblical students of the
day ; such men as Dr. William Smith,
Dean Alford, Dr. Bevan, the Bishop of
Ely, Dean Millman, Dr. Browne, Sir
James Ferguson, Lord Arthur Hervey
1 aid others, on whom the editor tells us
i ho has drawn freely for his materials.
' Altogether it is the most thorough and
complete book of the day, and will
doubtless meet with a rapid sale. The
i Publishers have placed it at such a low
' price that it is within the reach of every
i one. The work is for sale by subscripi
tion only, and the publishers want agents
in every oounty. National Publishing

I Com,
The hog does the most of tliat sort of
work. He is a most industrious forager,
always rooting around in quest of samething
to eat. In his incessant search
for provender he oftimes disturbs the
snake in his lair, who as a rule wotuu
prefer to be left alone; but the hog
won't let him alone, but snaps him between*
his teeth, crushes, and devours
him.
These are also active enemies of the
snake to be found among the things
that arefcrce natures, such as the deer,
the elk, etc., which kill by crushing
him beneath their sharp hoofs. But
these animals only destroy the snake
when he comes in their way. The hog
goes at him with the two-fold incentive
of destroying an enemy and devouring
hi*. The result is the snakes give up
the contest after a while and glide off
to some rocky fastness or impenetrable
fen. The hog is almost impervious to
the bite of the most deadly serpent.
Like the hero of Greek fable he has but
one assailable spot, which lies, not in
his heel, but in his neck. If the snake
chances to strike him on the main
artery, where it passes through the neck
near the skin, the hog dies. If he
strikes him at any other point the wound
amounts to no more than the prick of a
pin would, the virus taking no effect
whatever. The quadruped seems to be
aware of this one danger, and guards
against it with the skill of a veteran
warrior.
The writer once witnessed a combat
between a sow and a rattlesnake of the
largest kind, his attention being attracted
to the scene by the angry screams
of the hog. The snake lay in coil beneath
a spreading live oak. The broad,
combative head was raised rigidly about
six inches over his coiled body, his eyes,
bright as diamonds, flashing fury, and
his forked tongue darting defiance at
his enemy. Every muscle, now in tension,
could be traced beneath his skin,
Life in the Indian Territory.
Manners and superstitions in the Indian
Territory are, in many respects,
still thoroughly Indian. Hospitality is
unbounded, and as soon as an Iudian of
wealth and station takes a wife, all her
relatives, even the most distant, come
to live on his estate, and remain forever,
or until they have impoverished
him. The tyranny of mothers-in-law in
the Tetritory is something frightful to
contemplate. One Indian gave as his
reason for not wishing to get rich, the
torments which his relatives, in case he
married, would cause him. Food is
simple throughout all the nations.
Corn, ground with mortar and pestle,
furnishes the material for bread ; a few
vegetables are grown ; and game, hogs,
and cattle are abundant. The hog of
the Indian Territory is r singular animal.
Having run wild all his lifej he is
as distinguished for thinness as are his
brethren of civilization for corpulence,
and his back well merits the epithet of
razor-edge applied to it. Stock feeds
itself, winter and summer, and there is
rarely a season when it is necessary to
put up any hay. In the winter of 1871
grass was green up to the middle of

Marriage is gradually becoming an
institution among all the tribes, the efforts
of the missionaries tending to encourage
it; but. heretofore men and
women have simply chosen each other
as companions, and have lived together
and reared families. Usually a young
rann who has become enamored of a
raniden, ingratiates himself with her
brother, or with a near male relative,
and the latter intercedes with the
father. If the father considers the
suitor favorably, he puts him on probation,
and at the ena of a certain term
receives him, and presents him to the
daughter as her future husband. The
family relation seems much respected,
and is guarded against disorganization
by many excellent laws.
Adulteration op Food.?A case has
recently been decided in England which
shows at onde the existence of extended
adulteration of food, and that the courts
are prepared to repress it, and punish
it if possible. A tradesman was sued
for having sold to the plaintiff as butter
a compound of lard, dripping fat, palm
oil, and oil from certain seeds." He
had the coolness to plead that ho did
not represent the article to be pure, but
the court said that when, on being asked
for butter, a tradesman handed an article
across the counter, he thereby represented
that the article was butter, and
not a mixture of the horrible ingredients
mentioned in the cose. The case
was decided on appeal for the plaintiff.
A Physician who Healed Himself.
?If a railroad director wore l->?h??d to
every locomotive, there wouiu be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had
to take their own physic before administering
it to their patienis, fewer people
would be poisoned. Dr. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when
he first compounded the famous Vineerar
Bitters, which now ranks as an in
estimable household remedy in all parts
of the United States. He healed himself
with this specific before he offered
it to the world. He introduced it with
a simple statement of the manner in
which he had discovered its vegetable
ingredient# and been cured, while wandering,
sick and poor, among the California
tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for himself, and a

The Career of a Great Heuiedy*
Twenty summers hsTe clasped since it was brie
ljr announced that a new vegetable tonic and altei
atirc, bearing the name cf Hostetter's Stomac
Bitters, had been added to the list of Preventiv
and Restorative medicines. The modest advertlsi
ment which lntttcd attention to the preparatio
stated that it had been Used with great success, i
private practice as a cure for dyspepsia, blliou
complaints, oonstipation and intermittent feve
It was soon discovered that the article possessc
extraordinary piopertics. Thh people, of ever
class, tested its merits as a tonic, stimulant, co
rective and restorative, and fonnd that its effec!
more than fulfilled their hopes and expectation
From that time to the present Its course has bee
upward and onward, and it stands to-day at U
bead of all medicines of its class, American or in
ported, in the magnitude of its sales and its repi
tatlon as a safe, agreeable and potent invigorai
and restorative. For lanuuor and debility, lack i
appetite and gastric disturbances, so common dn
ing the summer months, it is absolutely infallibl
Indigestion, bilious disordeis, constipation, ne
vousness, periodical fevers, and all the ordinar
complaints generated by a vitiated and humid a
mosphere, vanish under its renovating and regi
latlng influence. This is its record, avouched t
volumes of intelligent testimony, extending over
pound of a fifth of a century, and comprehendln
the names of thousands of well-known citizens b
longing to every class and calling. In Europe it
thought a great thing to obtain tho patronage i
royality fir a "patent medicine," but Hnstettur
Bitters has been spontaneously approved by mi
Hons of independent sovereigns, and its patei
consists in their endorsement.
