But what to get he scarcely knew

But, luckless wight! thou couldstnot make

And. atumbi ng onwards, with her snout

Since now, by sad experience taught,

Henceforth, as business calls, i’ll take,

And never more tr.tnsgresa the line

Then Joan, return ; as heretofore,
I’ll vex your honest soul no more:
Let each our proper task attend—
Forgive the past, and strive to meud.”
The Proper Treatment of Dogs.
( Translated from Ms French.)
The dog, who, in all JSistern nations, even
under the Old Testament dispensation, was
reresented and treated &9 an outcast—the
emblem of all that was unclean—has, through
the Gentile Western nations, been admitted
wi hm the pale of human fellowship.
T a fat etic scene in the greatest of hea
then poets, where the returning hero is first
known by the faithful hound, who, on behold
icg his master, dies with a sudden fullness ol
joy, is the first dawn of a better epooh for the
whole canine race.
Then we have the scene in sacred story,
where the Jewish youth, when he leaves his
father’s house, is followed by hia devoted dog.
To this we add the parable descriptive of the
sympathy of the dogs, who show to the de
serted and neglected Lazarus the eompassion
which the thoughtless rTctilnan refused.
Further still, we may gather from out the
well-known stories of all modern Christen
dom, the many instances iu which these faith
ful creatures have died in behalf of their
master’s children, fought for their master’s
life and property, watched over their mas
ter’s corpse, or sought out the lost traveller
in the Alpine snows; themselves putting
“on a generosity and a courage,” whenever
they found themselves sustained by a man,
such as, without the confidence of a better
nature than their own, they could never have
attained.
Truly, if man has thus, as it were, infused
a soul into the dumb, lawless animals, what
a community of feeling, what a tenderness of
treatment should it require from him in deal
iug with them. He must never forget that
he is bound to feel for their welfare—their
hunger and thirst, and their pains and ills,
which they share with him, and whioh he, as
the controller of their destinyj ought to seek
to alleviate by the same means which our
advancing civilization enables ua to use for
ourselves.
Not only dogs, but all dumb creatures
which 6how any capacity for improvement
and docility, have been cherished,and strength
ened, and harmonized, by their intercourse
with humane men. And he who puts forth
his hand to save from ill treatment, or to add
to the happiness and comfort of any dumb
creature, has opened his heart to that divine
eompassion which our Heavenly Father has
shown to the whole universe of created things
from the crawling worm to the human being
whom He made in His own image. And to
all who read these few sentences, in which a
simple act of justice is sought to be done to
one of our truest and most valued dumb com
panions, 1 would say, iu concluding,
You’ve each one got a heart,
Ae well us human features;
So join me, while I take the part
Os all God'a poor dumb creatures.

Geology .Reconsidered.
If there is one theory which geologists
have thought more justly founded than all
others, it is the view that the various strata
of the earth were formed at different times.
A chalk district, for example, lying side by
side with a sandstone district, has been re
ferred to a totally different era. Whether
the chalk was formed first, or whether the
sandstone existed before the erustaceous stra
turn, might be-the question. But no doubt
existed in .the minds of geologists that each
formation belongs to a distinct period. Now,
however, Dr. Carpenter an j professor Thomp
son may fairly say, “We have changed sit
this.” It has been found that at points of the
sea bottom only eight or ten miles apart,
there may be* in progress the formation of a
crusiaceous deposit and of a sandstone region,
each with its own proper fauna. “ Wfiere
ever similar conditions are found upon* the
dry land of the present day,” remarks Dr.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1870.
Carpenter, “it has been supposed that the
formation of chalk and the formation of sand
stone must have been separated from each
othef'by long periods, and the discovery that
they may actually ooexsist upon adjacent sur
faces has done no less than strike at the very
root of the customary assumptions with re
gard togeologioal time.”
Fanners* Wives and Daughters.
Will you allow one who has learned by ex
perience and observation the lesson he would
teach, to speak a word to husbands, broth
ers, and sons, of the over-worked women of
our American farm houses 1 Ido not speak
of those who “ toil not, neither do they spiD,”
but for those who wash and elean, cook and
mend, knit and sew—in a word, those who
“keep house,” and do both the thinking and
working inoident thereto. I believe that nine
out of ten of our farmers’ wives and daugh
ters have far more amibitinn than strength.
Their love of neatness and a desire to please,
lead them to undertake many things which
exhaust their strength before the task is com
pleted. I need not particulize. The history
of these things is written where we can read
it in sunken oheeks and languid eyes, in forms
prematurely shrunken and bowed, on tomb
stones where the record tells of years sadly
short of three score and ten. Are we of the
sterner sex at all responsible for these effects?
Can we help remove the oauses 1 1 think we
oan. How? Where there's a will there s a
way. Don’t think you must have a harves
ter but that your wife can get along without
a sewing machine. Don’t think a grain drill
or sulky rake necessary for the farm, while
washers and wringers are for those, who have
more money than you: If you have an in
convenient duelling, especially the kitchen,
don’t wait until your barn 9 are made larger,
and horses and cattle are provided with the
most comfortable stables bet‘>re you consid
er how you can improve the place where
your wives and daughters spend most of their
waking hours. You believe in driving your
own work; see to it that, if necessary, a few
days’ extra help for sewing or cleaning is pro
vided at the proper time. You need not
cook, but you can try to be satisfied with
what you get, and praise where it is called
for. You can be within call, ready to lend a
helping hand on extra occasions, where
strength as well as skill is required. All this
will require some time and money, but it will
pay, even iu dollars and cents. It costs fai
more tor doctors’ bills than for extra help and
conveniences, and often the skill of the inedi
cal iimn comes too late, and then you will
find that you must needs go more miles for
domestics than you ever did in taking your
wife to see her friends —that you will see
enough wasted and destroyed to have pur
chased many things to make home pleasant.
Very likely you will find your domestics
harder to please than ever vour wife, or sister
was, and worst of all, your home is not and
eartnot be to you what it was, and you child
ren will feel, if not say, “ What is home with
out a mother?” There are, however, far
higher considerations which should weigh
with every true man. Duty and pleasure
both point the same way. Love arid kind
ness beget the same. Holy Writ assures us
that “faith without works is dead,” and the
same might truly be said of love. I would
say to every man, help your wife, mothers, or
sister, a< youhave opportunity ; and if no other
good result oarne, you would be better pre
pared to appreciate their labors. The writer
probably spent more time household employ
ments than the most of men, and many of
the pleasant recollections of life are hours
passed in this way, while some of the keen
est regrets are for opportunities unimproved,
and which can never return.--* Country Gen

Verbal Ambiguities.
The ambiguity of words and phrases is
the occasion of numerous misapprehensions,
puzzles and absurdities in current literature,
t few examples of which may be entertain
ing.
Referring first to puzzles, we may mention
the case of the man who had six children, and
had never seen one of them. The mind is
misled here, by supposing that “one of them”
means any of them, and if it had been said,
ne never saw a single one of them, it would
have been still more likely to be misunder
stood. The answer to this puzzle is, that one
of them had been born while the man was on
on a journey, and he had not seen it
There is a puzzle well known to the rising
generation, wtiich runs nearly in this fashion;
“There was a poor blind beggar who had a
brother; the brother died, but the man who
had died had no brother. What relation
was thq beggar to the man who died ?” Here
we are misled by taking it for granted tnat
the beggar must have been a man, but the
clew being given that the beggar was a girl,
it becomes quite plain that the beggar was a
sister of the man who died.
There are a number of these riddles on the
subject of relationships. We are told of
two men. who met at an inn, and greeted
each other affeotionately. The innkeeper ask
ed one of them if the other was kin of his,
and received the following enigmatioal re
ply:
“ Brother nor sister have I none,
Yet this man’s father was my father’s son<’ k
Now this is a perfectly plain proposition,”
and yet I have known a company delve at it
for an hour, and finally give it up, only to
marvel at their own stupidity in not seeing
that this form of words was but an ambigu
ous way of saying that “this man” was the
speker’s son. Again, two brothers weie walk
down the street, and one stopped at a door,
remarking: “ 1 have a niece who is ill.”
“Thank Heaven,” said the other, “I have no
niece.” How couid that be ? The only dis
ficulty in guessing this is the tendency of the
mind to move in a rut. Having got the idea
of niece fix-d, the mind refuses to think of any
thing else but different kinds of nieces, and
never once looks to one side sufficiently to see
that the sick girl was the daughter of the man
who said he had no nieoe. it is very true
that the expression “Thank Heaven I” seems
somewhat uncalled for wht n the trua fact ap
pears, but a riddle must not be made too ea
*sy.
There is something quite fasoinatlug to the
juvenile mind in that peculiar effect in words
which is oatled a catch. Thus the youngster
with a serious face enters the room with a
piece of news. “ Beecher,” says he, “got
'hot to-day.” “Is that so i” says one; and,
“ Where ?” asks another. “He got shot iu a
hardware store down towu,” says the young
ster. “He was going -bunting.” In the
same way, with a falsification of accent and
the omission of the hyphen, he s-iys. that he
has seen a horse fly, a garden walk, a kettle
drum, a hat box, etc. He is delighted to an
noy the company with the question, “ How
many hairs are there iu a dog*s tail?” and to
assure them with much nonchalance at last
that there are none, the hairs being all on the
outside.
In the same spirit a man indorsed his com
panion who wanted to get trust for a bottle
of wine, with the remark, “If he refuses to
pay for it, 1 will.” The man refused to pay
for it and so did his friend, as he said he
would. For such a person I have no sympa
thy, but 1 must admit a lurking admiration of
that dilapidated"istudent of theau >tle distinc
tions -of words, who, when trying to effect a
free entrance to the theatre, was roughly
told t>y the doorkeeper, “ Here, I can't pass
you,” and who replied with dignity as he
walked in, “ You need not pass me, my dear
sir. Just you stand where you are, and &
will pass you.”
What is known as the white lie U rendered
possible by the uncertainty in language of
which I aft) speaking. Thus when the sheriff
asked the wire of a Quaker, against whom he
bad a writ, if her husband was at home, she re
plied, “ Yes, he will see thee in a moment.” j
The sheriff waited some time, and then sug- !
gested to the lady that she had promised that j
he might see her husband. “ No, friend,” re
fffted the Quakeress, “1 only promised that he
would see thee. He has seen thee. He dia
not like thy looks; therefore he avoided thee,
and has left the house 3>y another path.”—

The Story of a Dime.
Said an old and well worn dime to a lot of
new ones who were jingling about it and ory
ing out for a story :—“ I can well remember
the time of my birth, for like yourselves I
was born with my full faculties, and have been
never since as bright as l was at that time.
1 had been burned, and rolled, and flattened,
when suddenly there came upon me such a
squeeze a«I never can forget till my dying
day. I‘ me almost get up on my end
and roll over as I think of it now. After
that they called me good coin, and 1 have been
circulating about from that day to this. I
cannot tels you all the strange things I have
seen, but will tell you some that affected ine
the most.
. “ I was lying in a -little boy’s hand with
some other coin. He had been counting us.
The hand seemed to me to be growing cold.
“‘You will give it all to the poor heathen
children, will you, mother?’
“‘Yes, dear Willie,’ said a low, and tender
and broken voice.
‘“That is all, mother. Kiss me now. Good
bye, mother.’ He fell back upon the pillow,
oast his eyes up and said, ‘Yes, dear Jesus, l
am coming.’ We fell from the little hand,
but the mother gathered us up, and the tears
rained fast upon us.
“ ‘ You swear by all that*9 sacred to give
your vote for acquittal,’ said an eager voice in
my hearing. ‘ I do,’ was the reply. I was
passed with a mass of coin from the one
speaker to the other. Next day, when the
jury retired, all said ‘Guilty’ but my owner.
He said ‘ Not Guilty,’ but he trembled while
he said it. They argued and plead the case,
but he clutched us tight within his pocket,
and answered only, ‘I say, Not Guilty.’ ‘Then
a scoundrel and a villain is released from the
hands of justice,’ I heard one of the jurors
mutter to himseif.
“My owner tossed that night on a sleep
less couch. It was his first bribe, but not his
last.
“‘I came to pay my rent,’ said the poor
woman to the old miser. ‘ Well, how much
is it?’ said he; so he turned over his books to
see. She qouuted out coin after coin. ‘There
is half a dollar wanting here,’ he cried : we
raised it that much last month.’ ‘That takes
every cent in the world,’ said she, ‘and we
have no bread.’ He held out his hand firmly,
almost fiercely. * It’s not my place to give
you bread ; give me my money.’ Her face
flushed first with pride, then she groaned as if
in pain, but she passed us to his hand, and he
clutched us as if we were friends. Tnat night,
as I lay on the shelf, I heard one read
ing from -jTbbok Jft-the next house,'par
tition this
night thy souj shall~ke requi reiof|
whose be which thodJkist
provided K-vJji thenSviddle of thetjight some
men broke qafetly the office. .Thfr'-old
man slept heavily. One held him -by) the
throat with one hand, and a pistol at his head
with the other. An accomplice robbed the
place of every thing that was valuable—notes,
bonds, gold and silver. The old man looked
on in horror, but dared not speak. Soon a
quiver passed through his body ; he turned
ashy pale. With a great oath the robber
cried, ‘Jim, he’s dyiug !’ Nay, he was dead.
They fled and left him alone in the dark, still
night.
No, John, don’t take another drink.’ It
was a woman’s voice—his wife’s voice. Her
arm was tightly clutching his, and her face
looked up lovingly into his. ‘| will, said he;
‘ I wilt, if I sell my soul for it. Give me an
other drink ;’ and he flung me down on the
oounter. The poof wifejairned away ; there
was no use trying longer. He was crazy
now. He drank and walked uncertainly to
his seat; drank again. High words rose
between him and the barkeeper. Intoxicated:
both, they wrestled together. He lifted a
heavy bottle to sti fe.o the other. A carving
knife on the table was seixed-and plunged ! n
to his heart. Four men carried him out in
his blood to lay him at the feet of his wife.
“ O, if men would but think what a power
they hold for good or evil when they hold us,
poor little coins as wears! lam old, and
sick of the world’s iniquity; but I would be
willing to live a good deal longer if could
only go on errands such as the dear boy sent
me. The best thing I oan wish you, little
dimes, is gOod masters, who will use you for
good purpose, as God meant you to be used.”

ThkOnlt Safety —How often do moderate
drinkers take refuge, when remonstrated with,
in the assertion, “1 never drink to excess; I
can take a drink, and let it alone. I know
when 1 get enough.” We have heard this
from the lips of more than one person addict
ed to the habit of taking an “ occasional
glass,” and as we have followed them through
life, we have seen them taking the “occasion
al” more and more frequently; the custom
growing stronger aud stronger, the temptation
greater and greater, until they have finally
succupabed to these almost irresistible influ
ences. Reader, your only safety is in total
and unqualified abstinence.
Wise 4^l— Otherwise*
Go-AHBAILjjfxyaNBSS —Cornelius O’Dywd
says, in BlucKbood, that in England he meets
a marvellous energy and “go” that he finds
nowhere else! “I, of course, except Ameri
ca,” he adds, ‘ for with us we work life at
high boiler pressure, but the Yankees do more
—they sit on the valves.”
Clbar Whbs You Sax it.— Archbishop
W a large dinner party
by asking, “ Why do white sheep eat more
than black ones?” After many fruitless
guesses it was jjiven up, when his grace re
plied. “ Because there are more of them.
At a Loss Foe a Text. —A Boston min
ister chose as the text of a recent sermon the
word, “sand,” (Matt, vii; 26 ) Os oourse
the sermon contained at lea-t a grain of truth,
and would sߣm to have been characterized
by clear grit. It reminds us, however, of a
story which used to be told of the then Uni
tarian minister of No'-th Andover, who, once
moving .AH TJi Ufodox neighbor, remarked
that he was greatly troubled to think up
proper subjects for his sermons. “Why,”
said he, “ 1 preached about lobsters, last Sun
day, and what under the sun I shall do for
the next, unless I exchange. I don’t know.”
YodtliFoTl Dollies.—Whitefield squinted,
and had his full share of self-complacency.
Dr. James Waddell once ventured to remind
him of somejdimgs in his earlier years whioh
had grieved some of his most judicious friends
when the great man pleasantly said ; “ Ah
yes, the vouittrWhitefield s tid and diJ many
things that Sierra W hitetield is ashamed of.”
ReYhesh&Snts Plentt.— A correspond
ent of the .Veto York World, writing from
Rome, ihece are three hundred thou
sand bottles of bordeaux and champagne
stored in the Pope’s wine vault for the e.-pe
ciat purpus+ot treating the bishops attend
ing the Ecumenical Council.
Pastoral Discontent.— An Illinois cler
gyman, wh > was di-satisfied with his par
s mage, gave out this notice one Sunday
morning: “Taere will be a Mite Society on
Tnursday evening next at the parsonage. The
parsonage is a little, old, tumbling down
building on street.” In the evening he
repeatedit thus modified: “On the corner of
the street near my residence, is a well. Said
well is covered over an 1 clapboarded. It is
unpa nted and weatherworn, but I wish ty
describe it so that none of you may make a
mistake, and take the well tor the parsonage.
The Mite Society will be held iu the parson
age and not iu tne well.”
One’s Tr\jr Standing.—A writer in the N.
Y. Mail gives utteiauoe to this thought,
whioh is worth noting: We often hear the
question asked of such and such a one—
* Wnat is his standing in society ?” or “ What
is his stan liug iu the church, or among busi
ness men?” But we never think of asking
before we take him into our confidence—
•‘How does he stand at home?’’ And yet,
the man who can make reply u> this question
with an untroubled heart and a clear con
science, is a-hero not so often met with, but
that he is worth looking after and closely cul
tivating.
Not Vert Sanguine.— 'Second Adventists
believe that Christ is coming in person again,
and very soon. A Michigan exchange says
that a newly organized suou ty of this denom
ination, in Meridian, Ingham county, has re
fused the donation ot a site for their meeting
house, beoause the donator restricted the lim
its of the deed to ninety-nine years.
PoLiTBN«as. —Dr. Guthrie, in a recent
speech in Scotland afirfer a tour on the Conti
uynt, contt (Anting the,..inferiority of “the in »s
sns” of peculation to foreign in po
liteuess, Sii£l: But the blame in this country
is not with lower classes. Tne blame in
this country »is wi til the upper .classes, and the
reason why* in this country, the lower cl tsses
are not polite is beause the upper classes are
not polite.” *
Sentiment and Greed. —Two of the four
surviving passenger of the steamer Ltxiwj•*
ton, burned about thirty years ago on the
Sound, were saved upon a bale of cotton. The
bale was carefully preserved iu Providence,
until iu war-time the rise iu cotton was too
much for the owner’s sentiments, when the
precious life-preserver was sold.
Origin oe an Old Sating. —The saying
“Nine tailors make a man,” is explained by
G. F. Grahun in “A Book about Words” to
have arisen from a perversion of the phrase
“Nine tellers.” In the olden time the strokes
of the passing bell were called “ tellers,” and
nine strokes indicated the death of a man,
while three announced that of child, and six
that ofqp woman.
How to eb Beautiyul.— The Hartford
Courant, speaking of beauty, says: “The Ser
mon on the Mount is the best recipe for per
sonal beauty, and the woman who practices
the golden rule for forty years is certain to
look handsomer than she who practices at
the mirror for the same period. But it does
take time. A good resolution will mak» no
body handsome.”
The Manatee, or Human Fish.
To bell vers in the Darwin theory it will be
of interest Lb know that in the quiet bays
and rivers i>>n the eastern ooast of Central
and South America, there lives an animal
which might he rightfully cunsidered as the
connecting link between man and fish. It is
the manatee* the water siren, the sea calf or
sea cow, as strange animal is sometimes
called. It belongs to the order of the Cetacea,
and is altogether herbivorous; living on grass
which grows under water, or on herbs whioh
it seeks on shore.
The body is pisciform, and measures some
fourteen feet'in length ; the skin being very
thick, without hair, and of a dirk color. The
upper part of the body, especially of the fe
males, much ,Ves-*mbies that of a woman, the
breasts being of the same form. In plaoe of
the fins of an ordm iry fish, the manatee has
a short arm .of only one joint, which termin
teas in a sort of hund, on which the nails are
distinctly visible, and which the animal uses
with much dexterity in moving about when
on land, and in carrying its young. This
limb his OAUsed th'n aninl to be ualied man
atee, from “maous,” the hand.
The writer, who for several years resided
in those oournffTes w lore th -se anini ils abound,
has seen the animal, and has been told re
peatedly by ti.-? natives the female holds her
i-ub to suokle as the mother does her babe.
Tne Sail of am matee is shaped like an open
fan, and tKfcljt?)* obserrer will perceive ten
divisions, whiph mark the ten toes.
Manatees by the help of this broad
tail, whioh moves up and down, and not from
right to left, like that of a fish. This limb,
which at first,sight appeirs to be a mere fin
or nerve, incite almost entirely into butter
when fried in a pan, and is highly prized by
the natives for oiutmeuts and for other medi
cinal purposes.
Tne animal weighs from 1,000 to 1,500
pounds, amj: the yieat is ounsided a groat rel
ish. It looks and tastes a good deal like pork,
and needs .a good deal of cooking. It is a
strange fact thaD the flesh keeps longer from
decay than any other, and is therefore salted
and preserved’like pork.
They are caught with harpoons by the In
dians, who know their haunts and customs,
and it seems a*-.if they were becoming more
scarce every year.
Much has been fabled about these water si
rens that needs Corroboration from scientific
men, who seem tip have taken but little inter
est in these strange animals. Some have ,asr
sured me that tht ir voice resembles the bel
lowing of an ox, others that it was perfect
music. lam induced to believe the latter, as
they are well known under the name of “si
renia,” or “sirens,” which appellative they
could only derive from their charming voice.
Wheiher this be so or not remains yet to be
confirmed, like the harmonious song of the
dying swan. —Scientific American.
Agricultural Brevities.
Rolling a corn-field crosswise the rows is
said to destroy the out worms.
A hen in Elizabeth has succeeded in hatch
ing seventeen chickens from fifteen egs.
An exchange says that one or two gera
nium leaves, bruised and applied on linen to
a cut or bruise, will have excellent effect.
The Country Gentleman thinks manure
spread on clover seed in the fall is the best
preparation of ground for corn the following
spring.
Veterinary art is in high repute in France,
and its charactered professors enjoy superior
incomes to the great majority of M. D.’s.
The total crop of t’.e country is estimated
at some 1,400,000,000 bushels of Jgrain, of
which wheat is 350,000,000, and corn 800,
000,000.
According to a Liverpool circular, the beet
sugar production of Europe in 1869 was 735,
000 tons, 100,000 more than during the pre
year.
Be it a maxim, says a writer in Blackwood's
Magazine, seldom lend your horse to a sail
or, never to a Frenchman, and as little as
you can to any one at all.
From 1842 to 1847 England imported
(mostly from France) 73 000.000 of eggs;
during the next five years, 103'000,000, on
an average; in the following year, 147,0D0,
000, and in 1866, 430,878,880; value, £l,
007, 197.
This country wants less in pasture, more
in woods, larger stables, bigger manure
heaps, fewer inside fences. Our cows travel
too far. Horse mu-cle is far cheaper than
oow muscle. Stall feeding makes thorough
weeding.
Anew French invention is a portable fresh
butter churn, to be used at each meal. It is
made of crystal and mounted on silver feet.
A silver rod revolves quickly in the cream,
and presents a pat of butter every three min
utes.
Dr. Cameron, of Dublin, found straw, af
ter many careful analyses, to contain about
half as much digestible matter per ton as oil
meal, and to supply carbonaceous or heat and
fat-forming matter, at a cost of only oae-sixih
that of oil-meal.
To cure cow’s caked bag, add two ounces of
sal ammoniac to one pint of vinegar, and ap
ply quite warm. Rub the bag thouroughly
with it twtoe a day. keep the cow from fresh
feed,
Cas’or oH is said to be better than any oth

and carts, tallow is equally good.

Headache,Jaundice. Costiveness, Camp Dysentery,
Sick Headache. Chronic Diarrhoea, Affections ol the
Bladder and Kidneys, Fever, Nervousness, Chills
Diseases ol the skin, Impurity ol the Blood, Melan
choly or depression ol Spirits.
Most of tho ailments here enumerated have their
origin in a diseased liver, which is the most prevalent
affection in this country, and as in many cases the
paueni is not within the reach of a physician, it re
quires that some remedy should be provided that
would not in the least impair the constitution, and yel
be active and sate. That such is the character ot Hie
SIMMONS REGULATOR there can be no doubt,
which the testimony of hundreds will establish.
SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED

ITlipn Ipam is felt under the shoulder blade:
llif T H 118I 18 * ol, ieiiiues mistaken tor rheuma-
Ills Ull Itism in the arm. Tne stomach is af-
with loss of appetite and sick
ness, bowels 111 general are costive, sometimes alter
nating with lax ; the head is troubled with pain, ac
companied with a dull, heavy sensation. There is
generally a considerable loss of memory, accompa
nied with a painful sensation of having left undent
something which ougnt to have been done. A slighi,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility ; he is rasn\
startled, bis feet are cold or burning, and he cub -
plains of a prickly sensation of the skin; Ins spirits
are low ; and although sanslied that enereise would
be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up
fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrust ever)
remedy. Several ol the above symptoms attend ihe
disease, but cases have occurred when few ot them
existed, yet examination of the body after death has
shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged.
It should be ustd by all persons, old and young,
whenever any of the foregoing symptoms appear. Tl
is a purely vegetable compound, is 1101 injurious to tht
most delicate constitutions, and will keep the liver in
healthy action if used properly.
Persons living in unhealthy localities may avoid ai
billious attacks by taking a dose occasionally to keep
the liver in healthy acliou.

Many persons, from eating 100 much, are restless
at night, or in day time are fidgety, wool-gathering,
can’t understand wbat they read, can’t keep their
thoughts on any one subject so as to reason well, or
become fretful. One or two tablespoonsful will give
relief.
