Hard on the Counsel.?The following
experience of a Mississippi lawyer
was related by himself to the writer many
years ago. He said:
"I was defending a prisoner for horsestealing,
and seeing no other means of
defending him, under the circumstances,
I set up the plea of insanity. I argued it
at length, read many extracts from works
on- medical jurisprudence, and had the
patient attention of the Court. The prosecuting
attorney did not attempt to reply
to my argument or controvert my authorities;
I seemed to have things my own

he needn't be uneasy. Then came the
judge's charge, in which he reminded the
jury that there was no dispute between
counsel as to the facts of the case. Indeed,
there could not have been, for several
witnesses had sworn positively that they
saw my client steal the horse. 'But,' concluded
the Court, 'the plea of insanity has
been set up, and I charge you, gentlemen
of the jury, that it should receivd your
very grave and serious deliberation; but
I must be allowed to say, gentlemen,
that for myself, upon a review of the whole
case, I can discover no evidence of insanity
on the part of the prisoner, except,
perhaps, in the selection of his counsel.' "
A Preacher's Case.?In a Georgia
city lives a popular divine who is liked
by all classes. He is very fond of fishing
and hunting, and does not object to telling
a side splitting anecdote occasionally.
Here is one:
Once a party went fishing. There was
some snake medicine along, and one or
more of the party took too much aboard.
In the evening a terrific storm came up.
As it was nearing the party, one, more pious
than the rest, knelt down at the root
of a tree and began to pray for protection.
About the same time oue of those who had
tapped the jug too often shouted:
^Come ahead, you blasted old cyclone!
Tear us all to pieces! Blow us to Halifax!
Hurrah for the United States and Kincha
foonee!"
When he closed, the humble supplicant
at the root of the tree raised his horrified
face to heaven and cried:
"Oh, Lord, don't mind what that confounded
crazy fool is saying. He is blind
drunk, as you can see for yourself, and he
don't belong to the church, noway."
Rough on M'Ginnis.?Hostetter McGinnis
is engaged to Miss Esmerelda
Longcoffln, who is one of the belles of
Austin and a great flirt. As Hostetter
was coming away from the Longcoffln
mansion a few nights ago he was overtaken
by Gilhooly, who said:
"Why, what makes you come away so
early this evening?
"Miss Longcoffln is not feeling well."
"What's the matter with her?"
"She has toothache."
"Ha! ha! ha! She tells you that to get
rid of you. She probably expects some
other gentleman this evening."
"Sir, you are insulting."
"Come, now, don't get huffy. How can
she have toothache when her upper and
lower teeth are all false ? I've been there.
I was engaged to her myself some years
ago. Toothache! Well, that is a good on
you!"
N. B.?The McGinnis-Longcoffin marriage
has been postponed on account of
the weather.

The Trap Would be a Safeguard.?
"Well, what on earth do you suppose that
old lady in room 1,100 wants now? She
has just rung again," said a clerk in one
of the largest hotels in Saratoga to the
senior DroDrietor. who had been several
times appealed to to gratify the whim of a
notionate old guest.
"Well I don't know. What does she
want?"
"She wants a mouse trap."
"Well, get her a mouse trap."
"But you know there was never a mouse
seen on that floor since the house was
built."
"What difference does that make?" said
the circumspect boniface. "It is not a
moose that she wants; it's a mouse trapget
her a mousetrap."
The clerk sent right out, got a three hole
mouse trap for ten cents and the old lady
was comfortable in mind for several hours.

"I am not pleased to see you so much in

should prefer that you avoid his society."
"He gambles, father, I suppose. He

"Well?still?you had better be careful."
After a little while William rises from
the table.
"Wflliam!"

HISTORY OP WHEAT.
Asa staple article of food and commerce,
wheat has been known from the earliest
ages. It is not known to exist in other
than a cultivated state. It is supposed to
have originated in Central Asia, but recent
discoveries have thrown some doubt on
that point. M. Fabre, of France, a distinguished
naturalist, made the discovery
several years ago that the sEgliops ovata,
a grass of the region near the Mediterranean,
and of the west of Asia, becomes
transformed by cultivation into wheat.
The possibility of such a transformation
has been confirmed by subsequent observations
and experiments.
Wheat was a chief crop in ancient Egypt
and Palestine, and is more frequently
mentioned in Scripture than any other
kind of grain, where its bountiful yield
and its important relations to the sustenance
of human life afford atheme for many
beautiful lessons.
The trranarles of EgvDt and other cen
tres of ancient civilization were often of
immense size and were conspicuous objects
among the public edifices of the time.
Grains of wheat have been found in the
wrappings of Egyptian mummies which
had retained their power of germination
through the lapse of centuries.
Although the Greeks, and more particularly
the Spartans, affected to despise agriculture
as a degrading pursuit, they were
obliged to devote considerable attention to
wheat raising as a means of livelihood.
Hesoid, one of the earliest Greek poets, in
his,fWorks and Days," makes frequent
mention of wheat. xAmong the llomans,
wheat-raising, in common with other
branches of agriculture, was prosecuted
with vigor and success. Koman writers
on agriculture gave particular directions
in regard to the cultivation of wheat. It
is mentioned by Virgil in his "Georgics."
Wheat was early introduced into great
Britain, but until very recent times its
production was so limited that only the
wealthier classes could afford to use it as
food. Mention was made of the fact that
in the eighth century the monks of the
abbey of St. Edmund, in England, ate
barley-bread because the income of the
abbey was not sufficient to admit of their
using wheat. In England, down to the
close of the seventeenth century, servants
and other working people were obliged to
content themselves with bread made from
the coarser grains. Eden, in his "History
of the Poor," (1797) says: "So small was
the quantity of wheat used in the county
of Cumberland, that it was only a rich
family that used a peck of wheat in the
* ? ?- ? ? - ? -J fitno noA/1 of
course 01 tne year, miu man nno
Christmas. The usual treat for a stranger
was a thick oat cake (called haver bannock)
and butter. One old laborer remarks that
when he was a boy he was at Carlisle market
with his father, and wishing to indulge
himself with a penny loaf made of wheat
f*our, he searched for it for some time,
but could not procure a piece of wheaten
bread at any shop in town."
At that period of the Revolution in 1689,
the quantity of wheat grown in England
was estimated at about 14,000,000 bushels,
or about three bushels to each of the population,
which was then under five million.
In 1880 the product of wheat in
England and Scotland was estimated at
100,000,000 bushels.
In 1880 the area of wheat growing in the
United States was 34,430,333 acres and the
yield was 450,483,137 bushels, or 13 bushels
to the acre. The value of the crop was
estimated at $482,457,293. The increase
in production between 1870 and 1880 was
nearly sixty per cent.
Managing Manures.?Among some
farmers there is a complaint that their
horse manure "fire fangs," or passes
through the heating process which is so intense
that the manure is well burned up.
This is exceedingly injurious to the manure,
and can, and should be prevented.
It occurs, or is liable to occur, when the
manure is thrown loosely into a pile, and
without being disturbed, will commence to
generate heart. Horse manure has a
stronger tendency in that direction than
that of most any other animal, and this
* * *l- - 1 # I
can oe prevented, ana me vtuue ui mc
manure maintained, if attended to as it
should be. There is no trouble where, as
is sometimes the case, horse manure is
cast into the hog pen, as it is then worked
over with the hog manure, whereby both
are improved. Another method which is
equally as effectual in preventing heating,
is to cart the same under a shed, where
cattle are accustomed to tread or to lie ;
when packed thus closely, and wet, as it
occasionally must be, by the urine of animals,
it is kept moist until wanted for use.
The same practice in connection with
sheep would be valuable, and equally as effectual.
We have always found that any
manure that is left to itself, thrown loosely
into a pile, was liable to become heated,
but when packed tightly under the tread
of animals, would be preserved with all
its manureal value retained. Sheep manure,
while thus kept closely packed, excludes
the air, will not heat, but when
loosely pitched into a pile will soon heat
and expel the valuable elements of fertility.
^
Exhaustive CROPS.-Farmers frequently
speak of this or that crop as being an
"exhaustive crop." Can they tell what
they mean by an exhaustive crop? All
crops require a certain quanity of organic
and inorganic elements for their development,
and all crops require the same elements
only in different combinations. If
crops?any crops?are grown in the soil
without the application of any of the elements
of their growth, the drain must be
wholly from the soil or atmosphere, and if
wholly removed, have exhausted the soil
to the extent of the amount required in
their growth; but to mention any particular
crop as being an exhaustive crop is
indefinite in its meaning.
In nature there is nothing that is lost or
of which it is exhausted; the element may
assume different combinations, but they
exist just the same though changed in
form. The operations of the farm are all
calculated to change the form of the mineral
elements into such forms as to be !
available in the development of animal !
life, and he who can do this in the best j
manner and in a way to leave his farm
still best adapted to continue the operation,
is looked upon as the best farmer.
How to Tell a House's Age.?At two
years old, colt sheds two centre nippers; at
three years, colt sheds adjoining teeth ; at
four years old, colt sheds outer or corner
teeth ; at five years old, bridle tooth is up;
and at six years old cups leave two centre
teeth below; at seven years old, cups leave
adjoining teeth ; at eight years old, cups
leave outer corner teeth; at niue years old,
cups leave two centre nippers above ; at
ten years old, cups leave adjoining teeth ;
at eleven years old, cups leave corner up- I
per teeth; at twelve years or past, groove j
inside the bridle tooth disappears in horse, j
Mares very seldom have them. When |
they do, no criterion to be guided by.
Salt for Manure Piles.?Salt is one j
of the best materials to put on manure
heaps in winter. It will keep them from j
freezing during very cold weather, and ;
when it is warmer will keep the heap j
moist and prevent fire-fanging. Salt in j
connection with carbonic acid gas is an
excellent solvent, and is a good fertilizer ;
for land containing a large amount of
vegetable matter. Of course where salt is
applied on manure piles it should be where
it will not be long exposed to rains, as its
power to make fertilizers soluble will then i
cause loss. But if the manure is to be at j
once drawn on the field there is little dan- !
ger from this, as the fertility will be absorbed
by the soil.
To Take the Heat Out of Burns.?
Carron oil has been found very much better
lor this purpose than any other application.
It is made of equal parts of olive
oil and lime water. A bottle of it should
be kept, ready for use, in every kitchen.
To make the lime water, put one pill of;
good lime in a quart of water, in a tall
bottle, and let it stand where it will not
be jarred. The lime should be slaked
before putting it into the bottle. When
the lime settles use the clear water above
it. The water will hold only a certain
quantity of the lime in solution, and as it j
is used, fresh water may be poured in on i
the lime until the latter is nearly used up. '

CURE FOR TYPHOID FEVER.
Mr. John R. Cox, a citizen of Baltimore,
publishes the following communication in
the Baltimore American, of that city:
"Some time since a gentleman informed
me that he knew of several persons who
had been cured of typhoid fever, by the
application of mashed raw onions to the
feet. Two patients were so ill that they
were not expected to live over a few hours.
Six large onions were pounded to pulp
and applied to the feet of the first patient.
He was relieved in ivshort time and got

later and the result was'equally satisfactory.
The first opportunity I had I tried
it upon a colored boy during one of my
visits to the house of reformation for colored
children. He was very ill with typhoid
fever. 1 named the matter to General
Horn, who immediately ordered the
application. In a few hours he got to
sleep; rested well and recovered. The
next opportunity was that of a son of a
friend of mine in our city. I called to see
him on business when he informed me his
son was very ill with typhoid pneumonia.
He had been delirious for a week or more,
and required constant watching for fear
he might do himself harm. I advised him
to try the onions. He did so and thus
speaks of it: "Immediately on its application
he began to improve and continued
until he finally recovered." Perhaps they
might be efficacious in other forms. The
remedy is simple and safe, and a trial in
any case can do no harm. They have
cured dropsy. Mr. Ralph Brunt, a very
respectable reliable gentleman, informed
me that his wife had suffered for a long
time with dropsy. She was swelled from
her head to her feet. She was attended
by different physicians, who finally gaid :
4Mr. Brunt we can do no more; your wife
cannot live. We can give temporary relief
by tapping her.' His wife declined
the operation, as it would but prolong her

called to a paragraph in a newspaper in
which a gentleman made the statement
that he had been cured of dropsy by eating
onions. His physicians had told him that
he could not live. One day he wanted to
eat some raw onions and did so. After
eating them he felt better and tried some
more. He then made it a rule to eat six a
day, and in a few weeks he was well. He
felt it his duty to publish it for the benefit
of others. Thus Mr. Brunt knew of it.
He called the attention of his wife to it.
She was willing to try it; did so, and at
the end of one week discharged her nurse,
attended to her household duties, and was
so reduced in size that her friends could
scarcely recognize her at first sight. She
lived for more than thirty years afterward,
and died some two years ago over eighty
years of age. If the foregoing prove the
means of benefitting any one, the only
regret I will feel, will be that I did not
attend to the promptings of duty sooner."
SENATOR BUTLER'AND THE RAILROADS.
A Washington correspondent writes:
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, is here
for a few days. He is still an rdmirerof
President Cleveland, and spent over an
hour at the White House to-day. He
thinks both Cleveland and Blaine will be
re-nominated and Cleveland will be reelected.
Senator Butler intends to offer
an amendtneni to the Inter-State commerce
bill, for the protection of railroad
travelers. In an interview to-day he said
there were several causes for the recent
railroad accidents.
"In the first place," he remarked, "there
is too much red tape in the so-called system
management. The responsible management
is too far removed from the operations,
and have not sufficient familiarity
with the employees or conditions. In the
second place, the railroad companies, many
of them, work their employees to death
on inadequate pay. Some plan ought to
be devised which would prevent any company
from working its employees more
than twelve hours consecutively. Some
of them, I learn, run the engineers, firemen
and conductors sixteen or seventeen
hours consecutively, without intermission
for resting. Human nature can't stand it.
rne result IS IllC puur umu guca lu siccjs kjla
duty, and when an accident occurs is made
the scapegoat. It is inhuman and wrong,
and the railroad authorities ought to be
held to a stricter accountability."
"What remedy would you suggest ?"
"I have not thought of one. I opposed
and voted against the Inter-State commerce
bill, because, among other reasons, I
thought, and still think, Congress has no
jurisdiction. But if we are to have the
law it might as well be made useful and of
some benefit, and I am not sure if an
amendment to that law might not be
framed which would accomplish great
good by simply making it a penal offence
for any railroad company to require more
than ten or twelve hours consecutive work
from any employees engaged in running
trains. Too many lives are at stake to allow
such parsimoniousness towards those
operatives who have their lives in their
keeping. Of course railroad accidents are
unavoidable in many cases."
Senator Butler is very emphatic in the
opinion that the Inter-State law should be
so amended as to protect the traveling
public against the reckless and careless
management of the railroads. "The Goverment,"
he said, "regulates steamboat
travel, prescribing how many passengers a
vessel may carry and other regulations,
and as long as we have the Inter-State law
we might as well make it protect the passengers
of railroads."
A PLUCKY WOMAN'.
A correspondent of the Williamsburg
Star and Herald, writes as follows from
Scranton, in that county :
On Wednesday, the 10th of August, Mr.
W. N. Royall, Assistant Superintendent,
Mr. George B. Newcomb, R. M., of the
Northeastern Railroad, and Sheriff Brockinton,
of our county, came here with two
material trains and a full force of hands,
for the purpose of getting some railroad
iron rails that the N. E. R. R. Company
had rented to Mr. T. C. Willoughby. Mr.
Willoughby was in Philadelphia at the
a? rn i 1 1 ilr\? U
nine, ine uuuve uauieu geiiiieiueu, nun
one train and all the hands, went out to
the extreme end of Mr. Willoughby's
tramroad, and began taking up the rails
as they returned. After nearly all day's
work, the train was loaded and ordered to
be run out on the Northeastern line. Before
it reached the line, it was stopped by
Mrs. Willoughby, who placed herself on
the tramroad in front of it, and declared
that she would remain there until her husband's
return. She had her rocking chair
and sofa brought her, and remained there
through the night. Next morning (Thursday,
11th), Mr. Thos. M. Gilland, railroad
attorney, arrived at the scene, but failed
in persuading Mrs. Willoughby to vacate
her position. Late in the afternoon a compromise
was effected, providing that if
Mrs. Willoughby would vacate her position
that night (Thursday) and let the engine
put, it would be put back in the same
position next morning, and remain there
until she secured counsel. This agreement
was carried out and Friday morning
Messrs. Johnson, of Marion, and Townsend,
of Florence, were both here to represent
Mr. Willoughby. The three lawyers
held a consultation, after which Mr. Gilland
told the railroaders to come out with
the iron. Strong efforts were made by the
other lawyers to keep them from coming
out. The cry was made to tear up the
track. A few spikes were drawn, but the
railroad hands drove them again, and the
train was moving out. At this juncture
Mrs. Willoughby came up and resumed
her position on the track fronting the ad
varicing engine. *_,ne? were ujuuu uuuut
the same time by Mrs. W's men for guns
and pistols, but only one gun was brought
out?a sixteen shot rifle. In this time the
engine neared Mrs. W., but she kept her
stand unflinchingly, until Mr. W. N. Royal
took her off the track. Mrs. Willoughby
is a native of Kentucky.
The Medical Virtues op Onions.?A
mother writes : '-'Once a week invariably,
and generally when we had cold meat
minced, I gave the children a dinner which
was hailed with delight and looked forward
to; this was a dish of boiled onions.
The little things knew not that they were
taking the best medicine for expelling
what most children suffer from?worms.
Mine were kept free by this remedy alone.
Not only boiled onions for dinner, but
chives also were they encouraged to eat
with their bread and butter, and for this
purpose they had tufts of chives in their
little gardens. It was a medical man who
taught me to eat boiled onions as a specific
for a cold in the chest. He did not know
at the time, till I told him, that they were
good for anything else."
The above appeared in the Lancastar
(Penn.) New Era, and having fallen under
the eye of an experienced physician of
that county, he writes as follows:
^The above ought to be published in letters
of gold and hung up beside the table,
so that the children could read it and remind
their parents that no family ought to
be without onions the whole year round.
Plant old onions in the fall, and they will
come up at least three weeks earlier in the
spring than by spring planting. Give
children of all ages a few of them raw, as
soon as they are fit to be eaten ; do not
miss treating them with a mess of raw onions
three or four times a week. When
they get too large, or too strong to be eaten
raw, then boil or roast them. During unhealthy
seasons, when diphtheria and like
contagious diseases prevail, onions ought
to be eaten in the spring of the year at
least once a week. Onions are invigorating
and prophylactic beyond description.
Further, I challenge the medical fraternity,
or any mother to point out a place
where children have died from diphtheria
or scarlatina, angonisa, etc., where onions
were freely used."
THE JONES* CASE.
Commenting upon the termination of
the case of Jones, the Edgefield triple
murderer, the Winnsboio News makes the
tot. >wing interpretation of the statutes:
Ti e theory of Jones' counsel is without
the foundation of law. The statute provides
that "if any person committed for
treason or felony, etc., upon his prayer or
petition in open Court on the first week of
the term to be brought to trial, shall not be
indicted sometime in tne next term aiter
such commitment, shall, upon motion, etc.,
be set at liberty upon bail unless it appear
to the Court upon oath that the witnesses
for the State could not be produced the
same term; and if any person committed
as aforesaid, upon his prayer or petition in
open Court, the first week of the term, to
be brought to trial, shall not be indicted
and tried the second term after his commitment,
or upon his trial shall be acquitted,
he shall be discharged from his imprisonment."
This section of the habeas corpus act was
intended simply to prevent the indefinite
imprisonment of parties charged with
non-bailable offences. To be entitled to
the benefit of this section the accused must
have exhibited the diligence which the
section imposes. If, for. example, he neglects
at the first term to exhibit his petition
to be brought to trial, he will not be entitled
to his absolute discharge at the second
term, nor will he be entitled to this if the
continuance at the first term is had on account
of the absence of the State's witnesses?for
a more powerful reason, he will
not be entitled to it if the continuance is
had on his own motion at either terra.
Before the accused shall be entitled to
this absolute discharge, he must have exhibited
his petition to be brought to trial
at two successive terms of the Court after
his incarceration, and the law imposes
upon the judge the imperative duty of
discharging him unless it appears upon
oath, etc., that "the witnesses for the State
could not be produced at the same term."
This interpretation is borne out by the
following section of the Act, which provides?"that
if the accused shall neglect
for two terms to apply for his enlargement,
that he shall not be entitled to the
writ in vacation time."
In order to entitle the accused to his discharge
on account of delay in bringing the
trial the State must be at fault?Hurd on
Habeas Corpus, p. 425; 2 Bay, 563.
The striking of the cases irom ine aocaei
does not amount to anything; they may
be restored, or he may be indicted again.
Even if an order has been passed discharging
thedefehdantin these casesit is no bar.
The facts of Jones' case do not entitle
him to the extraordinary remedy which
the law provides.
LOCKJAW.
The medical name for lockjaw is tetanus.
Sometimes it is only, or mainly, the muscles
of the jaws that are affected in the
disease, but commonly the rigid condition
is much more extensive, often reaching
to most of the muscles of the body. In
its severer form it is one of the most terrible
of diseases. The mind generally remains
clear to the last, unless it is blunted
by opiates.
The disease begins by a pinched look of
the face. In a few hours the muscles of
the jaw, neck, back and chest become
rigid, and the rigidity at length extends
to the iimbs. This rigidity is permanent,
and sometimes is so great that the body
could be taken up like a stick of timber,
or it may rest its weight on its head and
feet. From time to time spasms occur,
lasting a few seconds or several minutes.
The seat of the trouble is in the nerves,
and hence a spasm may be brought on by
a slight noise, a touch, or even a breath of
air.
As the muscles of respiration are usually
affected, the breathing is greatly impeded,
and often, for the time, rendered wholly
impossible, the chest being held as in a
vi3e. Death frequently results from this
cause, the system being previously exhausted
by pain and lack of sleep and
nourishment. If the patient survives beyond
the twelfth day, he is likely to recover;
but no known medicine is able to
do more than promote sleep and benumb
the sensibilities.
The cause is unknown. It may follow
wounds, or be independent of wounds,
the latter being the most hopeful cases.
The wounds may be either seyere or slight,
but most wounds are not followed by tetanus.
It is probable that, in persons of a
peculiar nervous susceptibility, and under
certain not well understood conditions, a
poison is developed within the system.
Hence, the only hope of a cure is to sustain
the patient with stimulants, nourishment
and sleep, until the system can eliminate
the poison.
In case of a severe wound, especially in
the neighborhood of nerve centres, great
I care should be exercised in dressing the injury,
so as to bring the parts well together,
and the parts should be kept clean with a
mild carbolic acid solution, or some other
good antiseptic wash.-Youth's Companion.
With the Large Majority.?The
Louisiana Lottery prints almost every
month in the newspapers of the country
long stories of the sudden rise of ticketholders
from poverty to wealth. But Cashier
Bartlett, of Sumter, represents the
great majority of the patrons of the game,
and their story is never told over the
signatures of Gen. Beauregard and Gen.
Early.
If some of the newspapers that print the
eloquent descriptions of how a colored hostler
or a white laborer suddenly became
possessed of $15,000 would tell how Mr.
Bartlett and many like him suddenly fell
from honored positions and comfort to
ruin, disgrace and flight, they would get
I the subject before the public fairly.?Charleston

The Big Suit at Shelby.?The Superior
Court of Cleveland county was occuDied
all of last week in trying the McKee
Davenport case from Gaston. Over 100
witnesses were examined?about 30 for
Davenport and the balance for McKee.
After about 24 hours consultation, the
Jury rendered a verdict in favor of Davenport.
Another appeal to the Supreme
Court was taken, this time by McKee.
The cost amounts to three or four times the
amount of principal involved, which principal
is about SI,700. Davenport was the
County Treasurer, and McKee was the
Sheriff. McKee held a receipt for county
funds, which Davenport pronounced a
forgery.?Charlotte Democrat.
S?"* Itoad-building and road-reparingare
a science, and an important science, too;
and it is ridiculous that work of such practical
importance should be so largely intrusted
to men who, however skilled and
successful they may be in their own department
of industry, know little of the
principles of surveying or scientific roadmaking,
and whose only idea of repairing
a roadway until it becomes a ridge of soil,
along the narrow surface of which teams
have to pick their way.

ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.
A woman formerly our slave Is now our cook.
About eighteen months ago she became sickly and
had a cough and was confined to bed, and It was
thought that she had consumption. The treatment
by physicinus failed to give relief. In December,
188-1, a node or knot the size of a goose egg formed
just above the pit of the stomach, which when lanced
discharged matter for 8 or 9 months. One of these
also formed under her arm, and three on her back,
which discharged matter for a considerable time.
For six months of tills time she wns confined to the
house and most of thct Ime In bed. The stomnch often
refused food, by rejecting what she had euten. She
used a great deal of medicine, but failed to be cured.
I bought one bottle of your B. B. B. (made in Atlanta,
Ga.) and gave It to her and she commenced to improve.
I then bought and gave to her three bottles
more, and she continued to improve and In twoinonths'
time her cough had censed, her constitution strengthened',
appetite and digestion good, all discharges
ceased, nodes or know disappeared and she went to
work apparently healthy and fattened up greatly.
This woman had n married sister of near same age
who was affected In precisely the same way and about
the same time. 8he had node or knot on pit of stomach,
back, etc. She did not take any B. B. B. and the
node on her stomnch ate through to the cavity. She
continued to decline and wasted away, and finally
died.
These were two terrible cases of blood poison?one
used B. B. B. and was speedily cured?the other did
not use it and died. It is most assuredly a wonderful
blood purifier. I refer to merchants in this town.
Yours truly, W. T. ROBINSON.
Tlshabee, Ala., May 1,1886.
A SHERIFF RELEASED.
For a period of sixteen years I have been afflicted
with catarrh of the head which baffled the use of all
medicines used. Seeing the advertisement of B. B.
B., I purchased and used six or seven bottles, and
nlthough used irregularly have received great relief,
and recommend it as a good blood purifier.

Tirzah, S. C., March 10, 1887.
[kssrs. Jeffkrys & Hokk, Gents:
rHE Cyclone Spark Extinguisher put on my
engine a few months ago is giving entire
itisfaction. Before it was put on, my ginause
several times caught fire from sparks, so
had to quit running while the wind was blowig
in the direction of the gin-house. Now I
in gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter
hich way the wind blows. Haven't seen a uve
)ark from the engine since I have been using it.
nd another good thing about it is, itcan'twear
. burnout. Will last as long as the engine. I
link it a great invention, and wouldn't take
suble the cost of mine if it was so I couldn't
3t another one. I think you ought to reduce
ie present high rate of insurance on gin-houses
here these extinguishers are used on the ennes,
or, at least, recommend such to the commies
you represent, because I see no risk
hatever from the engine.
Very respectfully,
