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: 41 A perfume made of hemp seed, plea- morfc and violet roots and parsley and smallage raaketh to see things to come and is available for prophesy.” Togo in visible it is only necessary to “take a piece of deal and write thereon, ‘Athos stirios theon panto craton,’ and put it in your loft boot under your foot.” To see strange “take'ant’s eggs, the blood of a the democrats'hav'p IUC< Ti'T tbl ' * ne3 *' orator pertain thing, even ls an committee as S » rnmu ot that pliahed more had he°h^have aecom- his views to the hnnL i een ftble to P’-esem attention, but his hmikv a vnT ay to , c!,lim ward gestures ivn.t ’ i . “, e alK * a wk- hls P >:,„ w'conrsf tb « detriment of not offer an i ,,.?.!!® V ?!! * speech does but, dry us it imii nL 013 ^, 0 ! eloquence Breckinridge eoulV'^o S | iar ' V be ’ 111111 :,ure Points.

He might say, however, Gentlemen, if you cannot agree among yourselves, I will make the appointment to suit myself.” v That is what General Jackson once Baid to a M issachusetts delegation, and he kept his word. But the psesident needs all the friends he can secure in congress, and un der the peculiar condition of things hero he cannot afford to lose the friends he may have; and, therefore, he will not be blamed if he insists on the Kentucky dele gation selecting the successor to Captain Gross. But, and this is a good but, it must not be understood that Mr. Hugh Rogers is out of the fight, for tie is not by any manner of means. He has a good case without any congressional support. The president might think this way. I say he might, not that ho will, in this case, viz.: An honest, capable man of good family, an efficient public servant, a deputy in the United States marshal gov ernment service and badly shot in the dis charge of his duty, strongly backed and endorsed by thousands of good citizens, and, being in the line of promotion, de serves the recognition. If the president should strike this avenue of thought it would order the commission issued to Hugh Rogers. A BRIDE IN TEARS.

By this report, it. appears that since November 1, tho date I at which the law went into operation, spe cial taxes provided for therein have been assessed on thirty-four manufacturers of oleomargarine, on 204 wholesale dealers, and on 2415 retail dealers. The number of pounds of oleomargarine assessed at two cents per pound wi. 4,430,174.

AN AM HNDMENT PROPOSED. Senator McPherson to-day introduced a bill amendatory of tho oleomargarine act. It provides that tho section of the statute requiring all oleomargarine to be packed by its manufacturers in firkins, tubs, or other wooden packages not before used for that purpose, such containing not less than ten pounds, marked, stamped, and branded as the commissioner of internal revenue shall prescribe, shall not apply “to oleo margarine transported in bond for expor tation and actually exported.” WAS HE POISONED? ASnturday Night Spree With a Fatal Termination. New York, December 16.—At 2 o’clock yesterday morning John Grots, a single man 31 years of age, residing with his widowed mother at No. 379 Broadway, was found lying on the sidewalk atHunt and Broadway by two men named James Law rence and John IluBsman. Knowing Grote to be greatly addicted to the use of liquor, they jiioked him up and by main strength carried his limp body to I113 home. There he was put to bed, and NEVER GOT UP AGAIN. When he failed to arise yesterday his aged mother thought nothing unusual the matter, and the unfortunate man slumber ed to his death. Last evening he first at tracted the attention of his mother by talking in a rumbling manner on a variety of subjects, but failing to make himself in telligible in any one in particular. His ravings so alarmed his aged parent that at eight o’clock in the evening Dr. J. H. Ren- digs was called.

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.

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 (Tnd.) Courier, Sept. 20, 1886. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. The Swift Specific Co., Drawer 3, At lanta, Ga. 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.

The Swift Specific Co., Drawer 3, At lanta, Ga. _ _ 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. D. K. W. Briggs. Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 18, 1885.
