Celebrated Liver Medicine.
It is purely vegetable, and will act upon the
Liver and Kidneys as promptly as Calomel and
Btichu, without any danger of salivation or de
struction of tiie bones.
Parties taking the medicine need notfearget
ting wet, or any other reasonable exposure.
Symptoms of Liver Disease:
Headache, Dull Feeling or the Blues, Sour Stom
ach, Sick or Nervous Headache, Heartburn, In
digestion or Dyspepsia, Bad or Bitter Taste in
the Mouth, the skin has a thick, rough feeling,
and is darker than usual. Costiveness, Melan
choly Feelings, Cramps, Cold Feet, Colic, Dys

Piles. In fact, where the Liver is out of order,
you are liable to every disease that is not conta
gious.
Prophitt’s Liver Medicine, if taken properly,
will prevent and cure any disease resulting from
a deranged liver.
It will regulate its functions and thus cure all
diseases caused by the failure of its healthy ac
tion.
It has been used for a great number of years,
and lias given universal satisfaction.
There is no brother or son claiming to have
the origional recipe. It is put up in both Pow

Dr. SCHEXL’K. AdvisesT'oKsiißip.
tives to goto Florida in Winter.
Having for the last thirtv-five years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study of
lung diseases and consumption, I feel that f un
derstand fully the course that ought to he pur
sued to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The lirst and most
important step is for the patient to avoid taking
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose in waiter, is Florida, well down
in the State, where the temperature is regular,
and not subject to such variations as in more
Northern latitudes. Palatka is anoint I can re
commend. A good hotel is kept there by Petef
man. Last winter l saw several persons there
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
under the healing influence of the climate and
my medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river is a
point which I would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonvillc and Enterprise are'loca
ted there. I should give a decided preference to
Mellonville. It is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there.
The tables in Florida inightflie better, and pa
tents complain at times but that is a good sign,
as it.indicates a return of appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
and then the lungs must heal".
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and manv
other places in various parts of Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives in winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is
a less even temperature, and it is not necessary
to say that where a consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore ray advice is, go well down
into the State out of reach of the p, wailing east
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any
other of the localities I have named, xvil) benefit
those who are troubled with a torpid liver, a dis
ordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat
or cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased
a more southern point is earnestly recommend
ed.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profes
sionally in New Y ork, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where I saw and ex
amined on an average live hundred patients a
week. A practice so extensive, embracing ev
ery possible phase of lung disease, has enabled
me to understand the disease fully, and
hence, my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast quantities of “Sehenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills,” and vet die ii he does not avoid taking
cold.
In Florida, nearly cverv bodv is using
Schenek’s Mandrake. Pills, Tor the climate is
more likely to produce billions habits than more
northern latitudes. It is a well established fact
that natives ot Florida rarely die of consump
tion, especially those of the southern part, On
the other hand, in New England, one third, at
least, of the population die of this terrible dis
ease. In the Middle States it does not prevail
so largely, still there are manv thousands of ca
ses there. What a vast percentage of life ivoud
he saved if consumptives were as easily alarm
ed in regard to taking fresh cold as they are
about scarlet fever, small pox, Ac, But they
are not. They take what they term a little cold,
which they are credulous enough to believe will
wear off in a few days. They pav no attention
to it, and hence it lays the foundation for anoth
er and another still, until the lungs are diseased
beyond all hope fen- cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is. to lay in a stock of Schenek’s
I ulmonic Syrup, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic and
Sclienck’s Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. I
recommend these particular medicines hecauel
am thoroughly acquainted with their action. I
know that where they are used in strict accord
ance with my directions they will do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do tiie rest. The physician who prescribes for
cold, cough or night-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every day* will
be sure to have a corpse on liis hands before long.
My plan is to give ray three medicines’ in ac
cordance with the printed directions, excent in
some cases where a freer use of ;ho Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to
the stomach—to get up a good appetite. It is al
ways a good sign when a patient begins to grow
hungry. I have hopes of such. With a relish
tor food and the gratification of that relish comes
good blood, and with it more flesh, which isclose
ly followed by a healing of the lungs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills
and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrate
and annoy, and the patient gets well, provided
_»e avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptive who have
net the means to go to Florida. The question
may lie asked, is there no hope for such? Cer
tainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever
has been, to stay in a warm room during winter,
with a temperature of about seventy degrees,
which should be kept regularly at tlx at point,
by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient
take his exercise within the limits of the room
by walking tip and down as much as his strength
will permit, in order to keep up a healthy circu
lation of the blood. 1 have cured thousands by
tins system, and can do so again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any other disease if it is ta
ken 111 time, and the proper, kind, of treatment is
pursued. The fact stands undisputed on record
that Sclienck s Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Pills,
und Seaweed Tonic have cured very many of
A’hat seemed to be hopeless cases ol consump
tiqn. Go where you will, you will be almost cer
tain to find some poor consumptive xvlio has been
rescured from the very jaws of death by their
use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep a supply of them on hand.
They act on the liver better than calomel, and
leave none of its hurtful effects behind. In fact
they are excellent in all cases where a purgative
medicine is required. If you have partaken too
freely' Os fruit and diarrhoea ensues, a dose of the
Mandrakes will cure you. If you are subject to
sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes
and they will relieve you in two homy. If vou
would obviate the effect of a change of water, or
the too free indulgence in fruit, take one of the
Mandrakes every night or every other night, and
you may then drink water and eat xvatermcl
lons, pears, apples, plums, peeches or corn, with
out the risk ofbeing made sick by them. They
will protect those who live in damp situations
against chills and fevers. Try them. They are
perfectly harmless. They can do you good only.
I have abandoned ray professional visits io
Boston and New York, but continue to see pa
tients at my office, No. 15 N. SIXTH street, Phil
adelphia, every Saturday, from 9a. m. to 2 p. u.
Those who wish a thorough examination with
the Respirometer will be charged five dollars.—
The Respirometer declares the exact condition
of the longs, and patients can readily learn
whether they are curable or not. But I desire it
distinctly understood that the medicines de
pends upon their being taken strictly according
to directions.
111 conclusion, I will say that who., persons
take my medicines and their systems are
brought into a healthy condition thereby, they
are not so liable to take cold, yet no oiie with
diseased lungs can boar a sudden change of at
mosphere without the liability of greater or less
irritation of the bronchial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany
nxy medicines, so explicit and clear that any one
can use them without consulting me, and can
be bought from any druggist.

honee was asked i?hat he waa doing
now. He replied, “Only Waiting.’'
Only wailing till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till tile glimmer
Os the day’s last beam is flown j
Till the night of earth has faded
From the heart once full of day;
Till the stars of heaven rue breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home,
For the summer time has faded
And the autumn winds have come,
Quickly, reapers! gather quickly
The last ripe horns of my heart,
For the bloom of life has withered,
And I hasten to depart.
Only wni ing till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet I long have lingered,
Weary, poor and desolate.
Even now I hear their footsteps,
And their voices far away;
If they call u,e I am willing,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
< T the day’s last beam is flown;
Then from out the gathei ing darkness,
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whose light mv soul shall gladly
Tread the pathway to the skies.
ITJicre'BcmaißCth a Rest.}
There remaintth a rest for the people of God
In tlxo beautiful city above,
Fur the weary feet that have humbly trod
In the paths of duty and love.
Though dimly and indistinct are seen
The lights that lead thens on,
Yet Jesus has been their go-between,
And the sting of death is gone.
There remaineth a rest, though far from here
Beyond this sin-toiled earth,
And the least of his little ones need not fear
For the hope of a heavenly birth.
Though dark is the river of death to some,
To them its waves are blest;
For the weary gpirit is nearer home,
Where there surely remaineth a rest.
No sorrow is there, nor hidden grief,
IVithin that realm of bliss,
For the heavenly life with full relief
From the cares and woes of this.
Farewells are never spoken there,
Nor disappointments known,
For all shall breathe the same pure air,
And none shall feel alone.
Then looking up, through sorrow’s night,
Let each his burden bear,
Assured He doeth all things right,
And rest remaineth there.
A IKoilicr Wanted,
We are afraid that infanta are not
appreciated in Augusta—that they are
considerably below par. Those who
haven’t got ’em don’t want ’em, and
those who have got ’em want to get
rid of ’em. Severul times we have had
to chronicle the desertion of children
by impecunious parents, or those who
had loved not wisely but too well, and
the practice seems to be becoming
fashionable. The latest instance of
the kind occurred during the latter
part of last week. On last Friday
night a colored woman, named Eliza
Carr, who lives near the new Orphan
Asylum, on what is known as McKinne
street continued, was aroused at a late
hour in the night by a loud knocking
at the door of her residence. Opening
the door as speedily as possible, she
found nothing on the outside save a
large wicker basket, which someone
had placed upon the steps. An exam
ination disclosed the contents of the
basket to be a thriving little boy baby,
several weeks old. Several changes of
rather handsome clothing were packed
away in the hastily improvised cradle,
and seven dollars in money were pinn
ed to the child’s clothing. There was
also a slip of paper containing a few
lines, and addressed to the colored wo
man, begging her to take good care of
the infant. Up to last night the pa
rents of the child had not been found,
though the poor colored woman, who
had so suddenly a male responsibility
forced upon her, would be delighted
to restore to them their abandoned
treasure.
A romantic incident, showing the
power of an earnest love to overcome
the most formidable difficulties, is
reported in the Colorado papers. A
Chicago youth fell in love with a Col
orado maid, whose father was so
opposed to the proceedings that he
drove the young man from his house
with wrath and a revolver. Upon this
the earnest youth had the stern parent
arrested for threatening his life, and
when the old gentleman was safely
locked up, by the judicious use of a
ten dollar bill, he induced the same
Justice of the Peace to marry him to
the daughter. This done, the old man
was brought up for trial, when he
concluded to swap forgiveness with his
enterprising son-in-law, who thereupon
magnanimously withdrew his com
plaint.
o*3k» ‘T say. boy, is there anything
to shoot around here ?” ‘Well,’ replied
Uie boy, “nothing just about here, but
our scoolmaster is just over the hill
cutting birch rods; you might walk up
and pop him over.”
Ginscng-Tts Commercial Value.
The present quoted prices cf the
root known as ginseng, in this market,
is sixty-four and sixty five cents per
pound. It is handled by our raer
chants to the extent of tunny thou
sands of pounds, and is one of the
most important article? classed as
couutry produce, yet few people know
what it is like, what properties it coo
tains or for what purposes it is used.
Ginseng is found in the Northern and
Western States, and grows wild
throughout the heavily wooded dis
tricts of Middle nnd East Tennessee,
but not in sued quantities as to re
quire only the labor of gathering. It
has a pointed, fleshy, taper rout, about
as large as a man’s finger. When dry.
it 13 of a ye Ho wish-white color, and
hits a slightly acid taste somewhat rt
sembling calamus. ‘
Large quantities of ginseng are an
nually exported to China, and the de
mand from that quarter is every year
increasing. Previous to the present
century the Chinese obtained most cf
their supplies from the wilds of Tarta
ry, and it was then sold at a very ex
orbitant price. For the last fiity
years, however, it has been principally
obtained in America, and the trade
has become very profitable. It was
long a matter cf wonder, even to com
mercial men, to what use the root was
applied by the inhabitants of the
“Flowery Kingdom,” but in court e of
time it became known that it was em
ployed very extensively for medicinal
purposes, and that the Chinese have
leng had a superstitious faith in its
virtues. Among this imaginative peo
ple it is said to answer the purpose of
inciting the partaker to noble deeds of
bravery, while at the same time it is a
specific for most bodily ills to which
human flesh is heir.. The Chinese call
it Yansain, and the Tartars, Orhata.
The variety grown in Oriental coun
tries is said to be very delicate, but
much less pungent than that obtained
from this country. The trade of late
years is gradually spreading to other
eastern lands, and considerable quan
tities are now consumed by the natives
of India and Persia. The Chinese chew
ginseng constantly, as other people
chew tobacco.
The exports of ginseng from the
United States are said to reach sever
al hundred thousand dollars annually
A root that ranges from 55 tc 65 cents
per pound in value the year round,
ought not to be suffered to hide itself
away in the primitive wilderness.

SOME or TEE INTERESTING THINGS DR.
LEWIS SAYS OF THEM IN BIS NEW BOOK.
Dr. Lewis has no mercy upon the
full dress of low neck and short sleeves.
It is as immodest as it is unhealthy.—
The mania for extravagant trimmings
of women’s dress has become insuffer
able. Ear-ring are barbarous; finger
rings are vulgar. The wearing of
false hair is atrocity. Preparations
for the complexion are among the most
objectional outrages which woman
perpetrates upon herself. The habit
of padding the bust of dresses, so uni
versal among dress-makers, destroys
the natural functions of the breast.—
Lacing produces a hideous distortion.
The onormous padding worn below
the waist heat and injure the spine.
The garter seriously injures the cir
culation of the foot. It is not wrong
to wish to keep the stocking smooth,
and if the calf of the leg be very large,
the knee small, and the circulation
vigorous, an elastic garter may be us
ed without serious injury. “But,” says
Dr. Lewis, “as most American girls
have slender legs”—this we are assur
ed is not true —“as there is but little
enlargement of the calf, the pressure
of the garter required to keep the
stocking in position is very injurious.
It produces absorption of the most im
portant muscles, and therefore a
weakness of the legs; a lack of circu
lation, and therefore coldness of the
feet.” He recommends instead of
garters that the stockings should be
fastened by straps to the waist.
Dancing he approves of, but round
dances he condemns, not merely from
their immodesty, but because their ro
tary motion is injurious to the brain
and spinal marrow. He thinks that
girls should not go to the theater, but
if they go at all they should attend the
matinees.
Eat nothing between meals, r.ot ev
en an apple or a peach. Avoid cakes*
pies, all sweetmeats, nuts, raisins and
candies. Wine and liquors Dr. Lewis
will not tolerate, and no young woman
who is ambtiious of a clear, fine skin
will drink tea. Tea compromises the
complexion, probably by deranging
the liver. The best plan is to drink
nothing but cold water, and as little as
the mouth from one to three minutes,
then spurt it out. This will appease
all desire to drink for some houis;
then repeat at intervals as the desire
to drink returns, which will be less and
less frequent, and in one week, more
or Lss, it w ill entirely subside. Be as
sured this is so.
A Deadly Water Spout.
The Charleston Courier says: Capt.
Hall, of the steam ship James A. Gray,
reports a huge water-spout in Hatter
as Inlet, and says the water came
down in one solid sheet, and in its de
scent struck a flock of wild geese, kill
irg all of them instantly.

To Hiikc Uood Rolls.
Editor Southern Cultivator: In yom
December number, Dixie of Dnnbnrge,
Georgia, asks, ‘will some of your lady
ieiders give me a good receipt for
making rolls?' I will give mine as fol
lows: Take of peach tree loaves a
double handful with a sufficient quan
tity of water, boil to a strong tea then
strain, afterwards, stir in meal enough
for a batter, and place in a vessel be
fore the fire to rise. After rising make
into dough stiff enough to be made in
to small cakes the size of a pmall bis
cuit. Jduee them on a dish in the sun
to dry, it will require several days to
dry tLem thoroughly. I have given
you the receipt for making the
yeast, and will now’ tell you
how to prepare the rolls. To one
gallon of Hour, add one yeast cake
‘dissolved in a quart of luke warm
water—very little lard is required.—
Place in a pan or bucket, as you would
the yeast, to rise. In summer thoy
will rise much quicker and cold water
will answer in the place of warm. In
winter if you wish them for breakfast
prepare them eaiiy in the morning,
and by the next morning they will be
ready to bake. Do not have your ov
en too hot at first, give time for them
to rise some after putting them in,
then bake as quick as possible. I
sometimes add two or three cups of
potato boiled, which I think improves
them very much. I will say in conclu
sion if you will follow the direction I
have given, you will not fail to have
delightful rolls. FAIIMETTA.
Chicken Cholera.
Take fat bacon and cut into pillp
the bizo of a marble, roll in dry corn
me.il, and give about three or four of
the fat bacon pills; take ground gin
ger and make the dough, and give
three or four ginger pills—then the fat
bacon pills and the ginger, until you
think the fowl has had enough. Do
this two or three days and keep them
from water, (you cau give water, but
not too much). I will guarantee that
this will cure, as I have cured some of
the worst cases Notice the chickens
in the morning whoa they are fed, and
if they do not eat, the disease is com
ing on. Then commence feeding as
per above recipe.

How Long a Hog Can Fast.— Mr.
William Hardin of Lexington, Ky.,
missed, about four weeks ago, one of
bis fat hogs. He supposed it had been
btolen. A few days ago, as he was
hunting in one of Lis fields, his dogs
were attracted to a sink-hole, and on
examination the hog was discovered at
the bottom, in which there was a
quantity of mud and water. The hog
was drawn out aud afterwards wt 11
filled, and is now doing well, though it
lay twenty eight days without food.
A Sure Remedy fur Druukeiiueis.
The Austin Republican says;
Whenever there is a desire to drink,
take an ordinary dram of very strong
whiskey straight into the mouth, (don’t
swallow one drop of it,) and hold it in
possible of that, except that one or
two glasses on lying down at night
and on rising in tiie morning will be
found useful.
Stove Cracks. —lt may be conven
ient to know a re dy method of clos
ing up cracks, which are not uncom
mon in cast iron stovts; and we are
assured that the following recipe is re
liable:
■ Good wood ashes are to be silk-d
through a fine sieve, to which add the
same quantity of clay, finely pulverized,
together with a little salt. The mixt
ure is to be moistened with water
enough to make a paste, aud the crack
of the stove filled with it This ce
ment dees not peel off, or waste away,
and assumes an extreme degree of
hardness after heated. The stove
must be cool when tLe application ig
made. The same substance may b$
used in setting the plates of the stovej
or in fitting stove pipes, serving to
render all the joints perfectly tigh:.
A Cheap Hot-Bed.
As many persons have no regular
hot-bed, I propose to give them here a
cheap, simple and effectual plan—one
within the reach of everybody. Get a
common large “W” goods box—as
large as you like, or several of them, if
you need so many. Fill it with fresh,
dry, stable manure, and water
it gently as you put it in. When the
box is two thirds full, put on about
two cr three inches of rich, fine soil,
' and sow your seed ; then put a com
mon window sash— or muke tp
fit—over it, and put the box in a sunny
spot, sheltered from the north and
west winds. Water occasionally, and
give air on hot days. You will thus
have plenty of fine plants at small
cost. Even a common barrel will
answer a pretty goed purpose.
