I say “so called,” for homeopathy has
shown that iu most cases the medicine has
precious little to do with the case, and
when the alopaths ridicule the idea that a
few drops of the "30th dilution” could have
fln y power, because the 30th dilution i« tt
solution of one grain of medicine in a bulk
of water equal to one in quantity.
The homeopath can retort and ask how
much value existed in the prescriptions of
vour ancestor’s brother alopath.und which
would you rather take, our 30th or theirs?
Of which we give a tow specimens taken
front an old book in the British museum
entitled “The Ayscaugh Mss ’
The fear of mad dogs is of an old date
for Goldsmith, in the “Citizen of the
World,” wrote, “The epidemic of England
is the fear of mad dogs.” The old books
are full of remedies, of which we select a
few from the Ayseough manuscripts: “A
.cataplasm of uutts with tin onion, salt and
honey, helpeth the biting of a mad dog ”
(Whether it helps the dog to bite or ?b 0
patient to recover is not distinctly stated )
Another charm tor the bite of a mad dog
is to say, “Lamus, Learns, Hemus, Ramus,
Oxiologe,” to be repeated nine times at
the rising and the setting of the sun. An
other, “Let the hair be curt off and lay
betony to the mould of the head and write
these words on a piece of cheese: Aula-
bragan, Tetragrammaton, and give the
bitten person.” (The art of writing on a
piece of cheese is a lost art.) As an ounce
of prevention is better than a pound of
cure, this from the same manuscripts
should be preserved: “At such time as
incunc sow beans, take a bean and put it
into the heart of a black cat, being l-eddy
roasted, then bury it in a dunghill and
when ripe carry one about thee and thou
shall nevor goe madd.”
Our ancestors had a dread of being pois
oned, and perhaps in days when the pres
ent. of a pair of perfumed gloves could an
swer the poisonous purpose it wa3 well to
be prepared. Here is the remedy : "Take
a toad, put it into a glass, stop it very close,
enclose this glass In sand and put it over
tbs Him till it be consumed to ashes. Then
apply to the place wounded. It is a
sovereign remedy. The cookery iu those
days was predisposed to colic and the
manuscript gives many remedies: It says:
“Olde decripit cockes have softer flesh
than those which are younger, and a pot
tage thereof is goode for the colic passion,”
The next remedy is worse than i he disease,
viz: “Horae dung drunk in wine will cure
colic.” Our ancestors apparently were not
particular. “The juice of pomegranates
dropped in the eye cures jaundice.”
“Bathing the feet in broth of turnips eases
gout.” “To hear well stop up the ears
with good dry sewet.”
Our lady ancestors, like their descend
ants, seem to have had headaches, judging
from the number of remedies found iu the
manuscripts. A charm for the headache:
“Tie a halter around you head,with which
one has been hung.” Agues are cured in
various ways. Here is a simple one: “Take
a crust of bread; write the following words
on it£and then eat thelbread: Caiinda, cal-
indan, calindant, and the ague shall de
part.”
Perhaps our worthy chief of police may
And this one of service: “Take the herb
veroain and toueh all those suspected, and
the thief will weep.” Old Isaac Walton
advised fishermen to “carry veroau in the
pocket and the fish will bite.” For lovers
the Ayseough manuscripts gives
many receipts. Though it may
be dangerous to make such facts public
we will venture a few, such as—
“Say uhto a woman in her left ear,
veneto melchy, mobelchy—follow me,
flat,” and she will follow tnee. Another,
“Take the tongue of a sparrow, inclose it
in wax. keep it under thy veste for the
space of four Fridays, put it in thy mouth,
sub-linguatna, then kiss thy love, et ipsa te
amabit.”
Perhaps the police may find this of use:

Washington, December 16.—A gro
tesque mob of human beings, ropresensing
nearly every condition of human life, gath
ered at Dowling’s auction rooms on the
avenue. It was thu occasion of the sale of
articles remaining unclaimed in the dead
letter office. Long temporary tables wore
constructed of carpenter horses and rough
plank. On this cooling board were laid
out the various missives which had miscar
ried, and were left ar. dead stock on Uncle
Sam’s hands. Human nature was vividly
displayed on its natural bent to gamble ou
any chance that might offer, and some of
the crew, who looked most as motley
as the crew of Comas, gazed
with eyes swelling full of anticipa
tion, some looking us if they thought
many of the bundles before them might
contain a fortune. A little lady, decked
out with bright ribbons and jewels, feasted
her pretty eyes with prospects of getting
an inestimable solitaire diamond, or a min
iature coronet for her wealth of hair.
There was one greasy-eoated, long-haired
philosopher present, who might have an
ticipated some rare curio, or profound es
say. There were a number of speculative
individuals, evidently there on the make,
and others whose looks denoted many late
nights at keno or faro, whose love of haz
ard jumped at every opportunity. There
was a little pinehed-tiieed lady whose
countenance indicated that she always be
lieved she would in some mysterious way
strike a streak of good luck, or inherit a
foreign fortune, rihe seemud impressed
that from the “dead letter” her hopes
mk’ht be resurrected. With the auc
tioneer as a central figure, mount
ed on a chair behind the long
tables, and all faces turned
up, there was an interesting scene for the
physiologist. There was not a face in the
crowd that did not discover the features ol
hazard. The woman who is always utter
bargains was quite prominent. Many of
the bundles were labeled, but. the crowd
was warned that no suit of damages could
be brought against Uncle Ham for misrep
resentation. The curious and mystic game
of hazard in the auction proceeded rap
idly The glib tongue of the auctioneer
rattled like beaus iu a stray barrel rolling
down a steep hill. . The packages were
knocked down so swiftly that tho bidders
were kept as busy as a catcher at the bat.
Then the lucky one would feel the pack
age eager to know what they had struck,
and’steal away to open it, and generally a
long-dravVn face followed. But the old
staler would laugh heartily at the gro
tesque luck that befell him.
One stylish young lady got a pair
of short, heavy woolen socks; another
a pair of jeans pants, while a dude
as if fate itself had intended to be sarcastic,
found himself the possessor of a pair of
corsets and an unmentionable female gar
ment. A very hard character got a book
of common prayer, and opened it at a pas
sage that invoked industry, when the fel-
jow was a genuine never-sweat. A double-
fisted clodhopper, with a No. 16 foot, drew
a pair of silk slippers, No. 1. A doctor re
ceived a hatchet, as indicating that it was
a more merciful instrument of dentil than
bin medicine, and a very gabby individual
found in his package that old worm-eaten
chestnut, a miniature scull and cross-bones
in a coffin, with the motto, “Talked to
death. n An old maid roe<#ved a fortune
book, with directions for making love
potions, and a man with a big furay beard
opened a box of pomatum, warranted to
make whiskers grow in three weeks. Tho
whole nlT.dr was n huge comedy, and well
worth twice the price of admission.

A wholo page of this issue of the Courier
is occupied by tho advertisem nt of t lie
greatest blood purifier that has ever been
known. The medicine has been made for
over fifty years in Georgia, but has only
within the last ten years been prominently
brought to the notice of the public. The
firm which manufactures this medicine is
the largest drug establishment in the
south,and unites with an immense capital,
the most correct and successful business
methods, thoroughly protecting all who
trade with them, and giving every one.
from the smallest dealer to the largest
houses, fair profits on their goods. Their
success and the extent of their business
can better be appreciated by a knowl
edge of the fact that their annual
sales in Evansville reach many thousands
of dollars, and then advertise this season
only in the Courier and the Public. Such
success could only be attained with a
thoroughly reliable remedy, and this tact
almost makes it unnecessary to say ft word
in it3 favor, further than the testimonials
which will be Been to-day on the third
page of the Courier. They are only a few
selected from thousands which have been
received. If any sufferer in Evansville
with blood trouble of any kind has not yet
tried this wonderful remedy, he should not
allow another day to pass over his head
before giving it a trial. It will certainly
do all that is claimed for it.—Evansville

Superior to Anything.
A prominent business man in Wilming
ton, Del., in speaking of a cure of cancer
on himself, writes to the Morning News of
that city:
1 can say further that my case is not an
isolated on6. A lady, a Customer of mine,
was suffering from a cancerous affection of
the nose. She had spent a great deal of
money and time running to Philadelphia
to consult the host physicians there, but
could get but little or no relief. About a
year ago I told her of my case, and in
duced her to try the S. S. S. remedy. She
did so, and in a iew weeks was much bet
ter*. She had several operations perform
ed, and was disposed to hold on to her old
treatment as well as the new, but finally she
threw all aside but the S. S. S., and in two
months from that time was thoroughly
cured.
Another lady suffering from an abscess
on her arm had been doctoring for a long
time in this city, Chester and Philadelphia,
but could not get any relief, apparently.
She had fallen away to a mere shadow of
her former self, ana could scarcely eat or
sleep. She commenced to take the S. S.
S. medicine, upon the advice of friends
and myself, but was so j educed in flesh
that she had little stomach trouble at
first. She persisted, however, and alter
the third bottle she declared it had done
her more good than anything else she had
ever tried. I now undersiand that she is
entirely well, and is loud in her praise of
S. S. S.
I have several other cases in mind, but
am not at liberty to speak of them. I be
lieve the Swift Specific Co.’s blood medi
cine, known ns 8. S. S., is superior to any
thing of tho kind known in the market,
and can cheerfully recommend it to any
one suffering from diseases of the skin or
blood.

After a Prolonged Str irule.
In 18G4 I contracted blood poison. Since
that time I have suffered tortures from an
affection of the skin, rheumatism and
ulcerating sores. During those long years
of disease I underwent treatment ut the
hands of leading physicians in Norwich,
Hartford, Providence, Boston and Chica
go. Failing to get relief at one place, I
would go to another, but mot with the
same treatment and effect everywhere.
The quantities of mercury and potash I
have taken have not only done me no
good, but I believe it has done me much
harm. I have taken S. S. S. six weeks,
and it is hard to believe my own feelings,
though the fact that it has done more for
me in that short time than all other medi
cines have in twenty years is plain and
undeniable. Six weeks ago I was a total
wreck, without hope. Now that I have
taken fourteen bottles of 8. S. S. my rheu
matism is among the things of the past,
and the scars only show that I was dis
eased. When I began taking Swift’s Spe
cific there was a large eating ulcer over
my right eye which alarmed me greatlv.
and no one who saw it thought I would
ever get well. Like the other it is gone,
and I thank God for the creation of the
Swift Specific Co. and their great remedy.

Mother and Non. •
About two years ago a cancerous 3ore
made its appearance on my face, and as
my ancestors on both sides had been af
flicted with cancers, I was filled with
gravest apprehensions. The future was
overcast with dark shadows, and in grop
ing about in search of relief my attention
w«i3* called to Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) I
concluded at once to test it. and did so
with the happiest results. Tne sore disap
peared, and my face is well.
My mother hud a cancer on the nose,
and* it was eating away that organ with
alarming rapidity. I sent her one dozen
bottles of Swift’s Specific, which she used
according to directions. The sore soon
ceased to eat, and all inflammation disap
peared, and the great hole made by tne
cancer closed up and healed over com*
g letelv. My mother is now well, and haa
een for over a year. T. S. Maben.
