The Way of the World.
I leant from out my two-pair back,
The afternoon was mild—
A cab pass’d by, and on its track
A little dirty child.
Cabby drives calmly through the slush,
With all unconscious mind,
Tho dirty child comes with a rush,
And clambers up behind. *
His mates had look’d with careless eye
On all his efforts vain,
But now he’s landed high and dry,
They burn with envious pain.
The driver turns and piies the lash,
The child falls in the dirt,
And in a puddle rolls ker-splash—
-1 think he must be hurt!
He turns away—that ragged boy,
He’s anything but gay ;
His little friends they jump for joy,
And go on with their play!
I shook my hoad despondingly—
“Ah. such is life, I guess!”
A man meets little sympathy
Whilo struggling for success.
And when the back of Fortuue’s Car
He's clutch’d—you’ll always find
How ready all his best friends are
To bellow, “ Whip behind 1”
Farmhouse Notes.
Bread Omelette.— Break four eggs
into a basin, and grate two tablespoon
i’uls of white bread. Soak the bread in
milk or cream ; beat the eggs with a
little pepper and salt; add the bread
and beat constantly, while a frying-pan
well buttered is getting ready. Pour in
the omelette, and, when it is set, fold it
over. Serve very hot and Quickly.
Scarlet Potatoes. Pound two
pickled red peppers in a mortar, and
mix with them a tablespoonful of fresh,
raw tomato pulp ; mash four good-sized
steamed potatoes, add an ounce of fresh
butter or olive oil, and the raw yolk of
an egg, well beaten. Mix all well to
gether, place it in buttered patty pans,
and bake it until brown ; turn out on a
hot dish, and serve with sprigs of pars
ley for garnish
How to Clarify Honey.— The Drug
(lists 1 Circular gives the following mode:
A good way to clarify hftney is to add
to two pounds of a mixture of equal
parts of honey and water, one dram of
carbonate of magnesia. After shaking
occasionally during a couple of hours,
the residue is allowed to settle, and the
whole filtered, when a beantiful clear
filtrate is obtained, which may be evapo
rated in a water bath to the proper con
sistency. The only draw-back to this
method is the length of time it takes to
filter the solution; and ill is may be much
abbreviated by taking the same amount
of white clay instead of magnesia, when a
r early equal good article is obtained in
much less time.
Pumpkin Pies. Cat the Pumpkin
into small pieces ; take out the seeds
and inside, but do not pare it. It must
be well-grown and thoroughly ripened,
and not watery. Put the pieces in a
saucepan, with only a few spoonfuls of
water —not more than four, cover close
and let it cook gently, so as not to
scorch, until the water has all evapoia
tod, and the pumpkin has cooked quite
<lry, and of a orange color.
While hot sift it through a coarse sieve.
Season only as much as you are needing
for the the day. For one large pie—one
egg, one tablespoonful of molasses, four
tablespoonfuls of condensed milk, and
enough of new milk to make it as thin as
you wish, or if you have it half milk
and half cream, instead of condensed
milk ; sugar and ipice to suit the taste.
Bake till a clear rich brown, do not
blister or scorch.
To Keep Apples During Winter.—
Apples at the present time are in exces
sive supply and unsalable at almost any
price. At the same time the crop in
Great Britain has been a failure, and a
demand is arising there for foreign fruit
which will doubtless soon affect our
market. Beside the great waste now
occurring in consequence of the heavy
supply which induces those who are en
cumbered with them to dispose of them
as rapidly as they may, will lead ere long
to a scarcity, and high prices probably
will be paid for good fruit in the spring.
It would, therefore, be wise for those
who now have plenty of apples to re
frain from wasting or hastily getting rid
of them. They are very easily preserved
through the winter,as if kept at a steady
temperature, although it may be one or
two degrees below the freezing point,
they will not be injured by it. Avery
easy way to keep them is to pit them,
by digging out the earth in a dry spot
in the orchard to a depth of a foot, pil
ing the apples in a conical heap therein,
and covering them with a foot of dry
long straw placed evenly so as to shed
rain. The straw is to be tied in a sort
of brush at the top, which will serve as
a ventilator, and the heap should be
covered with three inches of earth to
within a foot of the top. It is not well
to use more covering than this. Even
early fail apples may thus be kept until
spring if desired. Apples may also be
kept in a dry, cool cellar, in bins or
boxes, holding not more than 10 bushel
each, with straw at the bottom and lays
ers of dry straw intermixed,and a cover
ing of a foot of straw placed on the top.
They will be safe thus kept even should
frost penetrate the cellar, unless the
temperature falls below 20°.
A Whole Family Busied Alive. — A
family by the name of Hunt, cons’sting
of the father, mother and three children,
have been living on a claim some two
miles from Marion Center, in Marion,
County, Neb. Their house was situated
in a ravine, built of stone and roofed
with dirt and sod, which was supported
with timbeis. A few nights ago, as
some persons were returning home from
a dance, they noticed that the roof had
fallen in. They immediately went to
t lie house and found that the roof had
fallen in upon the family as they lay
sleeping in their beds. The party went
at once to relieve them, and, upon tak
ing the dirt away, found the mother and
three children dead, and the father so
fastened and held in his place that he
was even powerless to help himself.
The i oof was very heavy, and came down
in crushing force upon the inmates of
the fatal house. For hours the father
had lain pinned to his bed, and was com
pelled to hear the dying agonies of his
wife and children ; compelled to listen
to their piteous cries ior help. Out ou
the praiiie, beyond human reach, im
mnr in a living tomb, the hours slow
ly dragged along, and still no help.
Still the appeal to “Father, help us,”
until all of human agony was endured,
and then a silence tr.iptc.vdr that abode,
which was but the stillness of death it
lelf.
fraud* Smuggler!.
The Detroit Free Press says: It is a
fact probably bettor known to the Custom
House officials than to outsiders, that at
least every tenth woman who crosses the
Detroit river carries smuggled goods. The
goods may be tea, coffee, socks, thread,
ribbons or something else of great value,
but the intent to smuggle is there, and the
success in bringing over a small lot ia
nearly always an inducement for the
smuggler to try the game on a larger scale.
Men may and do smuggle clothing now
and then, but it is the female sex which
canies the burden of guilt. The Custom
House officials at the ferry dock, in this
city are as vigilant as officers can be, but
what chance have they against monster
hoop skirts and gigantic bustles. They
cannot stoop to peep under shawls, exam
ine pockets, look into baby carts, and hold
a crowd on the boat, and so they must
continue their work with the knowledge
that goods arc being smuggled, and that
only one grand and certain haul of their
nets can trap the guilty and frighten the
innocent so shall never dat e to
pursue the business.
The net was drawn yesterday. The
officers commenced about two o’clock,
walking fifteen or twenty women up stairs
into the custom roems, and handing them
over to a woman to be searched. Every
boat laid which landed for about three
hours, was treated in the same manner—
that is, all the female portion. Some were
indignant, and appealed to their hnsbands,
who vainly appealed to the custom officers.
Others wanted to faint away, but after
looking at the planks and the dust, con
cluded not to; others wept, laughed or
turned pale, but none of them were per
mitted to escape. During the afternoon
about one hundred and fifty women were
confronted by Uncle Sam, and the old
man had a good deal of fun and made some
wouderful discoveries. '
£. For instance, a modest little woman, who
was in a great hurry to go home to her
sick child, pulled out a few pins, and ten
yards of English flannel fell to the floor.
A tall woman, with tears in her eyes, who
asserted that she would sooner chop her
head off than think of smuggling, unfast
ened a pound of tea from her skeleton and
asserted that it must have been placed
there by some designing person. Another
one indignantly denied the right of search
but after remaining a prisoner for an hour
or two, told the searcher to take it and go
to grass, throwing a package of ribbons
and laces on the floor. A lot of calico was
found on another, sonic velvet on another
and at least ten per cent, of the whole
number weie found to be engaged in
smuggling. The officials were satisfied
with confiscating the goods.
Thoughts Essential to Health.
If we would have our bodies healthy
our brains must be used, and used in
orderly and vigorous ways, that the life
giving streams of force may flow down
from them into the expectant organs,
which can minister but as they are
ministered unto. We admire the vigor
ous animal life of the Greeks, and with
out injustice we recognize and partly
seek to imitate the various gymnastic
and other means which they employed
to secure it. But probably we should
make a fatal error if we omitted from
our calculation the hearty and generous
earnestness which the highest subjects
of art, speculation, and politics were
pursued by them. Surely, in this case,
the beautiful and energetic mental life
was expressed in the athletic and grace
ful frame. And were it a mere extrava
gance to ask whether some part of the
lassitude and weariness of life, of which
we hear so much in our day, might be
due to lack of mental occupation on
worthy subjects, exciting and repaying
a generous enthusiasm, as well as to an
over exercise on lower ones ? Whether
an engrossment on matters which have
not substance enough to justify or satisfy
the mental grasp, lie not at the root of
some part of the maladies which effect
our mental convalescence ? Any one
who tries it, soon finds out how weary
ing, how disproportionately exhausting
is an overdose of “ light literature,”
compared with an equal amount of time
spent on real work. Of this we may be
sure that the due exercise of brain—of
thought—is one of the essential elements
of human life. The perfect health of a
man is not the same as that of an ox or a
horse. The preponderating capacity of
his nervous parts demands a correspon
ding life. —Conihill Magazine.
A Second Great Eastern. —A con
tract has been made by Hooper’s English
Telegraph Works.with Messrs. 0. Mitch
ell & Cos., shipbuilders, Newcastle-on'
Tyne, for the construction of a steamer
specially designed for the laying of sub
marine telegraph cables. This will be
the first cable steamer specially built,
and it is contemplated that considerable
saving will be effected in the cost of
laying future submarine sables by its
use. The vessel will be capable of tak
ing 3,000 to 4,000 miles of cable in one
length, and will be employed in the
submergence of the English Great West
ern Telegraph Company’s cable, now in
progress of manufacture by Hooper’s
Telegraph Works, and of which about
1,000 miles have passed the test of Sir
William Thompson and Professor Fieem

Curb Your Temper. Never get
angry. It does no good; aud those \vno
indulge in it feel no better for it. It is
really a torment; and when the storm of
passion has cleared away, it leaves one
to see that lie lias been extremely silly,
and has made himself silly in the eyes
of others, top. Who thinks well of an
ill-natnred, churlish man, who has to be
approached in the most guarded way?
Will a bad temper draw customers, pay
debts, and make credit for better na
tured? An angry man adds nothing to
the welfare of society. Since, then,
anger is useless, needless, disgraceful,
without the least apology, and found
only in the bosom of fools, why should
it be indulged in stall?
Papular Superstition in Grata.
On Easter day in Corfu, when the ring
ing of bells at neon respond to the voice of
the bishop, “ Onr Lord is Risen,” the win
dows are thrown up and a crash of old
orockery resounds along the pavements ol
the narrow streets; old women shout
“ Avaunt fleas, bugs and all vermin! and
make way for the lord of all to enter!” ac
companying the invocation with a showei
of broken pots and pans. Ou these occa
sions, woe to the luckless stranger
who may be walking through the streets
ol Corfu in unhappy ignorance of this do
mestic institution, of which, perchance, a
noiseless water jug flying in dangerous
proximity to his own nose may suddenly
enlighten him. Greek saints, which, in a
measure, supply the places of the gods of
a passed away' mythology, are invoked for
blesssing and assistance in all the impor
tant affairs of maritime and agricultural
life. The planting of the seed and the
gathering of the fruits require each a ben
ediction; a boat purchased by a Greek
from a Turk must be formally purified; St.
Eustace is respectfully requested to free a
field or a vineyard from caterpillars; St.
Peter gives particular attention to the
fisherman’s nets and lines; Elijah blesses
salt; St. Procopius protects the thick skull
of the stupid schoolboy.
After the slaughter of the lambs on
Easter day, a lock of wool is dipped into
the blood and a cross is inscribed with it
on the lintel of the door. Within the
memory of old islanders the obolo a small
copper coin, has been deposited in the cof
fin of the dead to pay Charon his fee aeross
the Styx. In parts of the country evil
spirits arc supposed to bo abroad at noon,
during the month of August, and the peas
ants shut themselves up in their houses.
A coffin nail, here, as in many other parts
of the world, when driven into u house,
affords perfect security from ghosts, and a
triangular bit of paper on which is written
tue name of a disease effectually prevents the
appearance of that malady in the neighbor
hood. Rags tied to a bit of stick receive
the evil spirits exorcised by the “papa” or
priest. To drop oil bodes no good, and to
see a priest at sunrise is a very bad omen,
and a convenient apology for the reverend
sluggard. It is but fair to say that these
and a hundred other superstitions are
chiefly prevalent among the peasantry, and
iu the towns are confined to the lowest
classes.
Anti-French Feeling in Italy.
The expulsion of Prince Napoleon and
his wife from France has aroused a very
strong feeling against the Government
of M. Thiers in the Italian press, and
even the ministerial paper, Opinione,
severely censures the measure as a gra
tuitous offense to Italy. The Oazzetta
d'ltalia says M. Thiers’ attempt to ex
plain away “ the insult offered to an
Italian princess,” by assuring M. Vim
ercati that he did not know the Princess
Clotilde was in France with her husband,
will deceive nobody, and that all Italy
will believe that “he wished to revenge
himself on the daughter because be
could not strike at the father.” “ The
times are past,” pursues the Gazzetta,
“when insults and excuses could be
sent to Italy in the same breath. This
is not the way to maintain friendly rela
tions between two kindred races, and
M. Thiers may be sure that we in Italy
are well aware how low the French na
tion must have sunk thus to use violence
agaimt a woman who commands respect
by her virtues and her misfortunes. ” It
is said that M. Thiers has sent further
explanations of the matter by telegram
to M. Visconti-Venosta, the Italian
Foreign Minister, but whatever may be
the disposition of the Government, there
can be no doubt that the incident has
produced a decided coldnesß toward
France among Italian people. The
Anti-French articles which were pub
lished in the Press immediately after
the war, and which had almost entirely
ceased during the late reaction in tavor
of France, are now again making their
appearance, and all the old grievances
against the French Government, such
as the presence of the French man of
war Orenoque at Civita Vecchia, the lay
ing down of mines at the entrance of the
Mont Cenis tunnel, and the officious
intervention of M. Fournier in the ques
tion of the religious corporations, are
brought up as so many evidences of the
unfriendliness and insincerity of M.
Thiers’ policy.
The British Navy. —ln a letter re
cently published in the London Times,
Mr. B&ed, formerly Chief Constructor,
asserts and laments the present compar
atively weak condition of the British
navy. Two years ago England’s naval
vessels were so strong and many that in
respect of them she ocupied not only the
first place among European powers, but,
relatively, a place superior to any which
she had previously occupied. Now,
however, in Mr. Heed’s words, she has
lost the lead in the race, is rapidly fall
ing off and losing “the practicability of
competing in the race.” Bussia and
Prussia have outstriped her —she has
not an iron-dad which will compare with
the Peter the Great, and in case of war
would be very badly off indeed.
Burying Horses. —At a meeting of
the Sanitary Committee at New York
the following resolution was passed rela
tive to the burying of horses: Resolved,
That during the prevalence of the epi
demic among horses in this city and un
til the further order of this Board, the
New York Rendering Company be au
thorized, under the direction of tbe
police, to burr the remains of horses
dying above One Hundredth street in
vacant grounds above such street not
contiguous to any inhabited dwelling.
Such interments shall be in trenches, so
that the whole body of the horse shall be
at least four feet below the surface of the
earth, and each body shall be first cover
ed with at least one barrel of ground
quick lime, and then with fresh earth
to a depth of not less than four feet.

The Training of an Anther.
The Popular f&itnce Monthly informs
ns that a Mr. Tyndall, the ancestor of
the distinguished Professor, who lived,
at the epoch of Columbus, was devoted
to religious reform, and translated the
Bible into English for the people. Bat
he found worse navigation on the theo
logical sea than Colnmbos encountered
on the Atlantic, and was burned at the
stake for his opinions in 1536. Profet sor
Tyndall’s father inherited from his an
cestors a taste for religions controversy,
and threw himself zealously as an anti*
Romanist into the Protestant and Catho
lic warfare. Young Tyndall’s early in
tellectual discipline consisted almost
wholly of exercises in theological con
troversy, on the doctrines of infallibility,-
purgatory, transubstantiation, and in
vocation of the saints. The boy knew
the Bible almost by heart, and, with
reference to this knowledge, his father
used to call him Stillingfleet. But ha
had also au early interest in natural
things, and his father flattered this
tendency by calling him Newton, and
by teaching him lines concerning the
great natural philosopher, before he was
seven years old, that are still remember
ed. The father of Prof. Tyndall was
not only intellectually gifted, but he was
a man of courage, independence, mental
delicacy, and scrupulous honor. By the
silent influence of his character, by ex
ample abAvell as by precept, he inspired
the intellect of his boy, and taught him
to love a life of manly independence.
He died in May, 1847, quoting to his
son the words of Wolsey to Cromwell—
“Be just and fear nothing.”
Of Professor Tyndall as an author, it
is hardly necessary to speak, as his
various works have been widly circulated
and the reading public is familiar with
them. Yet his genius as a writer is so
marked that it cannot be omitted even
in the briefest sketch of his character.
Among scientific writers he stands almost
alone in the poetic vividness, force, and
finish of his style. His descriptions and
narrations are enriched by a bold and
striking pictorial imagery, which pre*
sents the subject with almost the per
spective and “coloring of reality.” No
man better understands the high office
of imagination in science, or ean more
effectively employ it to fascinate and
Illuminate the minds of others. Of an
ardent and poetic temperament, and at
home among tbe grandeurs of natural
phenomena, there is often an inspiration
in his words that rouses and thrills our
highest feeling.
Qsntlemen’i Clothing.
The novelty for business suits is their
short, jaunty, double-breasted coat, gen
erally called the pea-jacket. The suit is
made of dark mixtures, with almost
invisible plaids formed of threads of
white. The entire suit, coat, vest, and
pantaloons, is made from the same piece
of cloth, and costs from $75 to SBS.
The overcoat for such suits is a long
sacque of rough cloth, such as Elysian
and fur beavers.
Semi-dress suits for church, visiting,
etc., are made of black or blue cloth
with raised hurled perpendicular
lines, or indented checks, or the basket
woven goods, instead of diagonals so
long worn. The whole suit made of this
fabric costs SBS. The coat is the double
breasted Prince Albert, with longer
skirts than those of last season; the vest
is single-breasted, with notched collar,
and buttoned high to wear with a scarf ;
both coat and vest are bound ; the pan
taloons are of medium width, shaped to
the limbs. Sometimes the single-breast
ed cut-away, New-market coat is pre.
ferred for this suit. By way of variety
an extra pair of pantaloons is provided
to wear with this coat and vest. These
are made of thick rough-surfaced Scotch
mixtures in shaded gray stripes, or else
grayish-black grounds with white lines,
or a faint suggestion of a warmer color.
Price S2O.
There is an effort to introduce for
carriage wear the English driving seat of
light drab or cream-colored beaver. It
is long and double-breasted, with collar
of the same, and two rows of buttons
down the front.
There is no change in full-dress suits.
They remain of solemn black, with
swallow-tailed coat, low-rolled collar,
and pantaloons all made from the same
roll of broadcloth.
The English overcoat for opera and
other full dress occasions is the donble
breasted surtout. Instead of this tight
fitting garment, the preference here is
for a loose, easy sack overcoat of light
gray or creamy brown cloth.
Marshal Bazaine’s Health. —A Paris
corespondent of the London Daily News
says that Marshal Bazaine’s health is so
precarious that his friends think he will
die before his indictment can be drawn
np. Should*he live long enough to be
brought to jndgment they fear the worst
that can happen to a soldier will befall
him. He is strongly and vigilantly
guarded by an officer, almost personally
hostilo to him, who says if he escape
coming to trial, it will not be through
any fault of his. Marshal Bazaine’s ill
health is aggravated by a nervous terifa
of committing himself in his answers to
the General charged with his “ instruc
tion.” His counsel has accused him of
not being able to open bis mouth with
out making a blunder. Gen. Riviere,
the correspondent learns, is amazed at
the want of acuteness which the Mar
shal has shown. He never seems to
perceive the drift of a question, and
falls headlong into any pitfall which the
prosecution may lay for him.
Jab. —An illustration of the effect of
the jar produced upon the particles of
iron in a rail or a cannon in constant
use, may be got by scattering iron dust
upon a piece of glass, under which there
lies a magnet, and tawing the glass
gently. Ttie particles of iron rearrange
themselves in new lines, as 1q granula
tion, and this is what destroys the life
of the railway track or oolumbiad.
Tbainikg Bears. —Many years ago
Zebnlon Stanhope, a farmer residing
near New London, Conn., trained a
couple of bears to plow and do other la
bors of the field and road. Ou one oc
casion he-started to town with a sleigh
load of wlidat, but some of tbe harness
breaking, the farmer set about repairing
the damage, when one of the bears
seized him by the leg and sorely wound
ed it. The bears then simultaneously
ran off, leaving the farmer to reach his
house alone, which he did with difficul
ty after four hour’s labor. Two or three
days were spent in useless search, and
bears and sled urere given up as lost;
when, upon day at noon, a
noise was heard in the road, and, to the
astonishment of tbe Stanhopes, they
beheld tire two bears drawing the sled
into the barn, and instead of the wheat,
fonr large bears and three cabs. The
door was suddenly closed, and the stran
gers were shot with a long gnn thrust
through the crevices of the building.

The heavy mists and cold night dews which churac
tcrixe the present season are very trying to delicate
organisations, and in low-lying and swampy localities
they produce an enormous crop of intermittent fevers
of various types and degrees of intensity. At this very
time there are probably half a million of people in the
United States suffering from periodical fevers bv mias
matic fogs and exhalations. What makes the preva
lence ot this evil the more dspiorable is the fact that
it might in all cases be easily prevented. Malaria and
damp produce little or no effect upon the system pro
fortified by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitter*.
Every frill and spring hundreds of letters are received
from perrons residing in fever and ague districts, who
state that while their neighbors are incapacitated from
labor by that debilitating disease, they have been hap
pily exempted from attack %y the regulur nso ot the
great vegetable antidote to miasma. Asa olilologopw
or specific for intermittent and remltto-.it fever* the
Bitters may be justly accounted infallible. They eradi
cate the complaints in their most obstinate forms; but
the wiser course is to forestall attack by taking the
preparation as a preventive. The amount of produc
tive labor withdrawn from active service during several
months in the year by malarious maladies is immense
and tho pecuniary losses to individuals, iamilles. and
the nation from this cause is incalculable. Bear in
mind that by toning and regulotlng the system with
Hostetter's Bitters before the calamity comes, it may
always be escaped; and let It also be remembered that
indigestion, general debility, biliousness, constipation,
nervous complaint*, and indeed almost all disturbances
and derangements of the physical system are control*
able by this genial restorative.
Lung fever, common cold, catarrhal lever,
and nasal discharge of a brownish color in
horses, may be checked at on e by .liberal
use of Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders.

Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink
made f Poor Ruin, Whiskey, Proof Spirits 'and Refuso
liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please ttV
taste, called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,"
4c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin,
but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots
and herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants
They are the Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving,
Principle, a Perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the
System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring
the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing
and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy
of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their
results, safe and reliable m all farms of disease.
Ho Per arm earn take tkese Bitters accord
ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided
their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or otha
means, and the vital organa wasted beyond the poug
of repair.
Dyspepsia er ladigeiUeu, Headache, Past
in tbe Shouldere, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dip
aiaess, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the
Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of
the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms,
are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. Iu these complaints
it has no equal, and on* battle will prove a better guar,
ante* of its merits than a lengthy advertisement.
For Female Ceu.plelats, in young or eld
married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the
turn of life, Tonic Bitters display so decided as
influence that a marked improvemeat is soon percep
tible.
For Inflammatory and Chromic Rheu
matism and Gout. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious.
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have
been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by
Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derange
ment of the Digestive Organs.
They arc a Gentle Pargativs as wall aa
a Tonic, possessing also tlie peculiar merit of acting
a*a powerful agent in relieving Congest.on or Inflam
mation ef the Liver and Visceral Organs, and ia Bilious
Diseases.
Far Hkiu Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-
Rheum, Blotchca Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, King-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, Ery
sipelas, Itch, Scurfc, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature,
are literally dug up and carried out of the system ia a
short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle ia
such cases will convince the most incredulous of the'a
curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you
find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples,
Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veius ; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood
pare, and the health of the system will follow,
Grateful thousands proclaim Vinegar Bit
ters the most wonderful Invigurant that ever sustained
the sinking system.
Pla, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in
the system of so many thousands, are effectually de
stroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiol
ogist: There is scarcely an individual upon the face of tbe
earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms.
It is not upon the hexithy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease.
No system of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anlheliajn
itics, will free the system from worms like these Bit
ters.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged in
Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type setters,
Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance tu life, will
be subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard agaiatt
this take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters once
or twice a week, as a Preventive.
Billons, Remittent, and Intermittent
Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys ef our
great rivers throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Ten
nessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazes,
Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roan
oke, James, and many others, with their vast tributa
ries, throughout our entire country during the Summer
and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of
unusual heat and dryness, are invariably aecompaaied
by extensive derangements of the stomach and-liver, sad
other abdominal viscera. There are always more or less
obstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state
of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being
clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In tbeir treat
ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upog
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic f*r the purpose equal to Dr. J. Wauker's
Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the
dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are
loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions el
tbe liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions
of the digestive organs.
Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swelling!
Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, Scrofuleus
Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af
fections, Old Sores, Eruptions ol the Skin, Sore Eyes,
etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have shown their
great curative powers iu the most obstinate and intract
able cases. ■—
Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters
act on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying
the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away
the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits)
the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure
is effected.
The properties of Du. Walker’s Vinegae
Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic and Carminative,
Nutritions, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irri
tant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious.
The Aperient and mild Laxative properties oi
DrTWalker’s Vinegar Bitters are the best safe
guard is all_ cases of eruptions and malignant fevers,
their balsamic, healing, and soothiug properties protect
the humors of the fauces. Their Sedative properties
allay pain in the nervous system, stomach, and bowels,
either from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, etc.
Their Counter-Irritant influence extends throughout
the system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kid
neys, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. Their
Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the secre
tion of bile, and ns discharges through the biliary duen,
and are superior to ail remedial agents, for the cure of
Bilious Fever, Fever aud Ague, etc.
Fertlfy the body against disease by puri
fying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epi.
demic can take hold of a system thus forearmed. The
liver, the stomach, the bowels, the kidneys, and the
nerves are rendered disease-proof by this great iuvig
orant.
Directions 'Take of the Bitters on going to bed
at night from a half to one and one-haif wine-glassful 1.
Eat good nourishing food, such as beef steak, muttoa
chop, venison, roast beef, and vegetables, aud take
out-door exercise. They are composed of purely veget
able ingredients, and cohtain no spirit.
