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 ing Jenkin, the engineers of the com pany. 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 berries of the mountain ash sre employed in some of the forest regions in Europe far tbe manufacture of alcoholic drinks, 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 Powkb of Will.—Rev. George H. Hepworth says: “Young men, an earnest will can accomplish anything that is good and anything that is bad, It is the master element in man’s nature; it is very like omnipotence. It can fix your purpose and keep it fixed until the end is reached no matter how difficult the path may be. He who has will has half won the victory. He who has a strong will, and a consecrated one, already feels tlifi laurel on his brow.” invest your spare casli in first-class Railroad Ponds. Write to Charles W. Hasslbr, No. 7 Wall St., N.

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*.

Asa olilologopw or specific for intermittent and remltto-.it fever* the Bitters may be justly accounted infallible.

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.

Maid by Bnumlsts threachaat IktNeri* 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.
