IT is well known to
Doctors and to Ladies
that Women are subject
to numerous diseases pe
culiar to their sex—such
as Suppression of the
Menses, Whites, Painful
M’lithly ‘Periods,’ Rheu
matism of the Back and
Womb, Irregular Men
struation, Hemorrhage,
or Excessive ‘Flow,’ and
Prolapsus Interior Fall
ing of the Woral).
These diseases have sel
dom been treated successfully. The profession
has sought dilligently for some remedy that wo’ld
enable them to treat these diseases with success.
At last, that remedy has been discovered by
one of the most skilful physicians in the State of
Georgia. The remedy is
Bradfield’s Female Regulator,
It is purely vegetable, and is put up in Atlan
ta, by BRAbFIELD & CO.
It will purify the blood and strengthen the
system, relieve - irritation of the kidneys, and is
a perfect specific for all the above diseases; as
certain a cure as Quinine is in Chills and Fevers.
For a history of diseases, and certificates of its
worderful cures, the reader is referred to the
wrapper around the bottle. Every bottle war
ranted to give satisfaction or money refuuded.

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION.
—The primary cause ofUonsumption is derange
ment of the digestive organs. This derange
meut produces deficient nutrition and assimila
tion. By assimilatiou I mean that process by
which the nutriment of the food is converted
into blood, and thence into the solids of the
body. Persons with digestion thus impaired,
having the slightest predisposition to pulmon
ary disease, or if they take cold, will be very
liable to have Consumtion of the Lungs in some
of its forms; and I hold that it will lie impossi
ble to cure any case of Consumption without
first restoring a good digestion and healthy as
similation. The very first thing to be done is
to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis
eased mucus and slime, which is clogging these
organs so that they cannot perform their func
tions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to
a healthy action. For this purpose the surest
and best remedy is Schenek’s Mandrake Pills.
These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all
the dead and morbid slime that is causing dis
ease and decay in the whole system. They will
clear out the liver of all diseased bile that has
accumulated there, and rouse it up to anew and
healthy action, by which natural and healthy
bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus clean
sed bv the use of Sclienck’s Mandrake Pills;
but there remains in the stomach an excess
of acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite
poor. In the bowels the lacteals are weak, and
requiring strength and support. It is in a con
dition like this that Sehenciv’s Seaweed Tonic
proves to be the most valuable remedy ever dis
covered, It is alkaline, and it use will neutra
lize all excess of acid, making the stomach
sweet and fresh; it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, and create a good, hearty
appetite, and prepare the system for the first
process of a good digestion, and ultimately
make good, healthy, living blood. After this
preparatory treatment, what remains to cure
most cases of Consumption is the free and per
severing use of iSchenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. The
Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies
the blood, aiid is readily absorbed into the cir
culation. and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters,
whether in the form of abscesses or tubercles,
and then assists Nature to expel all the disease
matter, in the form ot free expectoration, xvhen
once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing
and purifying properties of Schenck’s Piiimonic
Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed
up sound, and my patient is cured.
The essential tiling to be done in curing Con.
sumption is to get up a good appetite and a
good digestion, so that the body will grow in
tlesh and get strong. If a person has diseased
lungs.—a cavity or abscess there, —the cavity
cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, so long
as the system is below par. What is necessary
to cure Is anew order of things, —a good appe
tite, a good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh
and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities
will heal, the matter will ripen and he thrown
off in large quantities, and the person regain
health and strength. This is the true and only
plan to cure Coi sumption, and if a person is
very bad, if the lungs are not entirely destroy
ed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if there
is enough vitality left in the other to heal up,
there is hope.
1 have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old
age. This is what Schenck’s Medizinesjxv ill do
to cure Consumption. They will clean out the
stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up a
good digestion, and give Nature the assistance
she needs to clear the system of all the disease
that is in the lungs, whatever the form may
be.
It is important that while using Scheuck’s
Medicines, care should be exercised not to take
cold; keep in-doors in cold and damp weather;
avoid night air. and take out-door exercise only
in a genial and warm sunshine.
I xvish it distinctly understood that xvhen I
recommend a patient to be careful in regard to
taking cold, while using my Medicines, 1 do so
for a special reason. A man who has but par
tially recovered from the effects of a bad cold
is far more liable to a relapse than one who has
been entirely cured; and it is precisely the
same in regard to Consumption. So long as the
lungs are not perfectly healed, just so long is
there imminent danger of a full return of the
disease. Hence it is that Jso strenuously cau
tion pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial
and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’lungs
are a mass of sores, which the least change of
atmosphere xvill inflame. The grand secret of
mv success xvith my Medicines consists in my
ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro
voking it, as manv of the faculty do. An in
flamed lung cannot, xvith safety to the patient,
be exposed to the biting blasts of Winter or the
chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shoul
be careiullv shielded from all irritating influ
ences. The utmost caution should be observed
in this particular, as without it a cure under
almost any circumstances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on a wholesome
and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con
tinued until the body has restored to it the nat
ural quanitv of flesh and strength.
I was mvsolf cured by this treatment of the
xvorst kind of Consumption, and have lived to
get fat and hearty these many years, with one
lung mostly gone. 1 have cured thousands
since, and very many have been cured by this
treatment whom I have never seen.
About the First of October I expect to take
possession of my new building, at the North
east Corner of Sixth and Arch Sreets, where I
shall be pleased to give advice to all who may
require it.
Full directions accompany all my Remedies,
so that a person in any part of the world can be
readily cured by a strict observance of the
same. -

POETRY.
I'm' (■rowing Old.
Her. Dr. Cooley, of East. Granville,
Mass., one of the best of men, intro
duced the following lines into a ser
mon, delivered after he was fourscore
years old. The allusion to his own
daughters, who died at the age of 20
years, makes it probable that the lines
are his own. If they are not, we
would be pleased to have the name of
the author.— Ed*, of N. Y. Ohs.
I’m growing old ’tis surely so,
And yet how short it. seems
Since I was blit a sportive child,
Enjoying childish dreams.
I cannot see the change that comes
With such au even pace;
I mark not when the wrinkles full
Upon my fading face.
I know I’m old and yet my heart
Is just as young and gay
As e’er it was before my locks
Os bright brown turned to gray;
I know, these eyes, to other eyes,
Look not so bright and glad
As once they looked, and yet ’tis not
Because my heart’s more sad.
I never watched wit h purer joy
The floating clouds and glowing
skies,
While glittering tears of rapture fill
These old and fading eyes.
•I’ve seen the flower grow old and
pale,
And withered more'than I;
I’ve seen it lose its every charm,
Then droop away and die.
And then I’ve seen it rise again,
Bright as the beaming sky,
And young and pure aud beautiful,
And felt that so shall I.
Then, what if I aui growing old,
My heart is changeless still,
And God has given me enough
This living heart to till.
I live to see the sun go down
And lengthening shadows throw
Along the ground, while o’er my
head
The clouds in crimson glow.
I see beyond the gorgeous clouds
A country bright and fair,
Which needs no sun—God and the
Lamb
Its light and beauty are.
I seem to hear the wondwus song
Redeemed sinners sing,
And my heart leups to join the
throng,
To praise the Heavenly King.
I seem to see two cherub ones
As hand in hand they go,
With gpjden curls and snowy wings.
Whose eyes with rapture glow.
When I was young I called them
mine ;
Now, Heaven’s sweet ones are
they,
But I shall claim my own again
When I am called away.
This is what Coleridge says :
“If you wish to be assured of the truth
of Christianity, try it. Believe, and if
thy belief be right, that insight which
gradually transmutes faith into knowl
edge, will be the reward of thy belief.”
To be vitally convinced of the truth of
“the process of renewal described by
Scripture, a man must put himself
within that process.” His own expe
rience of its truth, and the confined
assurances of others, whom, if candid,
he will feel to be better than himself,
will be the most sufficing evidence.
THE SO WEBS BE TUBE.
Bobold there went forth a Sower
Into the Master’s groat field,
To sow the good seed of the King
dom,
Trusting in God for the yield.
At morning, at noon, aud at even,
Untroubled with doublings or
fears,
Broadcast the good seeds have been
scattered,
Though often in weakness and
tears.
All have not been equally fruitful, —
Some seeds perchance have been
lost,
And some have but budded and
blossomed,
To be nipped by untimely frost.
Some seeds by the wayside have
fallen,
On ground that was sterile aud
bare,
And been only food for the spoiler—
Caught away by the fowls of the
air.
Among the rank thistles and bram
bles,
Have fallen some precious seeds,
Which likewise have proved unfruit
ful—
Choked out by the fast growing
weeds.
And some upon stony places
Have vainly endeavored to bide,
For having no deepness of moiature,
They sprang up, but withered and
died.
Bat some imo good ground have
fallen,
Where shielded from heat and
from cold,
Have rooted, and budded, and blos
somed,
And promised an hundred-fold.
And the Reaper hss followed the
Sower,
And gleaned e’re the sowing was
done, —
Some sheaves have been borne to the
garner,
Au earnest of what is to come.
When the angels shall come with
their sickles
To gather the Master’s own,
Many ripe shocks of wheat shall be
gathered
From the seed that the Sower has
sown.
A BE A UTIFUL SENTIMENT
Life bears us on like the stream of
a mighty river. Our boat at fiißt
glide* down the narrow channel
through the playful murmuring of the
little brook and the winning of the
grassy borders. The trees shed their
blossoms over our young heads; the
flowers on the bank seem to offer
themselves to our young hands, we
are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly
at the beauties around us; but the
stream hurries on, aud still our hands
are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along a wider and deeper
flood, aud amid objects more striking
aud magnificent. We are animated
at the moving picture of enjoyment
and industry passing around us—are
excited at some short-lived disappoint
ment. The stream bears us on aud
our joys and griefs are alike left be
hind us. We may be shipwrecked—
we cannot be delayed; whether rough
or smooth, the river hastens to its
home, till the roar of the ocean is in
his ears, aud the tossing of the waves
is beneath our feet, and tho land les
sens from our eyes, and iue floods are
lifted up around us, and we take our
leave of earth and its inhabitants, uu
til of farther voyage t here is no wit
ness save the Infinite and Eternal.
Tfio only way to avoid evil, is to fill
up every passing Lour to the glory of
God-
Yuli cannot escape from anxiety
and labor; it is the destiny of hurnan
ifcy- ______
If sin is turned out of our hearts by
grace, it will be turned out of our
houses too.
Rest satisfied with doing well, and
leave others to talk of you as they
please.
Happiness grows at our own fire
sides and is not to be picked up iu the
strangers garden.
The Day of Rest. —Never was a
more blessed institution than Sunday,
the sacred day of rest from labor.—
For the soul’s health aud the body’s
health of the human race, ou at least
one day in seveu there should be an
ever recurring intermission of daily
toil. Thus let u man attain to a peri
od of three score and ten he has gain
ed a holiday of ten years duration,
even if his lot has been labor for the
remaining three score years. Let
childhood be taught to use, and man
hood discreetly use, this blessed breath
ing time, as a day on which to raise
the thoughts beyond the world, not
less than for purposes of innocent re
creation.
Wo commend the following sensi
ble article takeu from the Jiur&l Car
olinian to the careful consideration of
our farming friuds:
llow llic Factory Helps the
Farm.
“It will cost you a bushel of wheat
to send another bushel to the New
Y rk market,” a wise one remarked to
a Western colonist.
“We don’t intend to send our wheat
to Now York,” was the reply; “we are
putting up mills to grind it for home
consumption.”
These colonists are on the high road
to success. They will not only make
wheat., but at the same time a mar
ket. We at the South should be wil
ling to learn a lesson from the West
in this matter. We make cotton.
Can we not also make a home market
for it, and thus make the factory help
the farm? On this point the follow
ing remarks from the New York Tri
bune are worthy of thoughtful atten
tion.
“The introduction of manufactures
in*o agricultural communities brings
together the essential elements of
wealth-producing enterprise, establish
ing the shortest circuit of communica
tion. This is in accordance not only
with the laws of political economy, but
of that higher order whereby Nature
conducts the commerce of the mate
rial world. The farmers and manufac
turer each has needs which the other
supplies; and to bring the two into
such close connection that exchang
es can be made with the least possible
cost, is a saving that must commend
itself to the dullest mind. If our
grain can be bartered for cloth made
within sight of the field where it grew,
that is plainly a better deal than send*
ing the same grain to Liverpool to pay
for fabrics woven in Yorkshire.
“ihe factory adds value to the farm
by affording u home mai ket A home
market saves the charges, rLks and
waste Os long carriage, the profits of
intervening traders, and interest ou
delayed returns, and gives merchanta
ble worth to products that will not
pay such charges. Better still, a home
market is a sure market, litt’e subject
to the fluctuations incident to foreign
demand. Regular home consump
tion steadies prices„drives' outjspeculu
tion, and gives to intelligent fore
thought a basis for reasonable calcu
lation.”
i'annera, Plant Fruit Tree* !
If people, generally, were as foud of
cultivating fruit as they arc of eating
it, what a plentiful slippy of this be Lt -
ful luxury we should have, and how
much betWr it would be for the inter
ests of all. We frequently gaze with
amazement upon farms, tbau which
uoue could be better adapted to ;he
cultivation of nearly every kind of
tree fruit, but upon ivliich such a
thing as a fruit tree is as great a rar
ity us snow iu harvest. We fail to
understand how it is possible that peo
ple can be so indifferent to their own
comfort and their own interests. If
the settiug out of a hundred or two
choice peach, pear, apple and plum
trees, involved an outlay of as many
bundled dollars, we could then un
derstand why there are so many farms
almost devoid of fruit of any kind, but
when such is uot the case, wneu fifty
dollars would clear the entire expense,
leaving out of the question the cost of
planting, which is trifling, we confess
to utter amazement, aud not uufre
queutly to a feeling of indignation.—
The farmer who does not cultivate as
much fruit as is sufficient for the lar
gest possible wants of bis family, is
little less than a barbarian, for cer
tainly be must be wanting iti one of
the broadest characteristics of true
civilization, when he deprives not on
ly himself, but his family, of what cau
uot be regarded as other than the
cheapest, most wholesome, and, though
to some it may seem a stretch of im
agination, elevating luxuries. The cul
tivation of flowers. It is refining iu
its tendencies. Where there is au
abundance of fruit, there is necessari
ly a smaller consumption of meat, and,
consequently, less grossness of physi
cal as well as xneutal habit.
Go to work, then, farmers, and es
pecially those of you who have here
tofore neglected to plant fruit trees.
Do not allow another season to pass
over your heads without being able to
say that, in a few years, you have a
reasonable prospect of a crop of fruit
sufficient for your families aud for the
friends who may need it.
The Tomato us a Med ieinc.
Dr. Bennett, a professor of some
celebrity, considers it as an invaluable
article of diet, and ascribes to it very
important medical properties:
1. That the tomato is one of the
most powerful aperients of the Mate
ria Medica. and that in all. those af
fections of the lm r and organs where
calomel is indispensable, it is probably
the most effective and least harmful
remedial agent known to tho profes
sion.
2. That a chemical extract pill can
be obtained from it which will alto
gether supercede the use of calomel iu
the cure of disease.
3. That lie has successfully treated
diarrhoea with this article uloue.
4. That when used as au article of
diet, it is almost a sovereign remedy
for dispepsia and indigestion.
5. That the citizens in ordinary
should make use of it either raw,
cooked, or iu the form of a catsup,
with their daily food, as it is a most
healthy article.
Are Oats an Exhausting Cr >p?—
As the regular rotation in Eastern
farming consists of clover, corn, oats,
wheat or rye, it is worth while to con
sider if oats are really the non-ex
hausting' crop they are claimed to be.
In the ash of oat straw there is over
fifteen per cent, of potash, while the
percentage of phosphoric acid is very
light. Oats canuot, therefore, be con
sidered as a non-exhausting crop, as
this is a large amount of potash to
carry off, and potash i3 a substance
that we find difficult to replace. As
oats, therefore, seem to withdraw
principally this alkali from the soil,
either lime or ashes is indicated as a
manure suitable for this crop, and in
practice these are found beneficial.
Lime in its action on soils is known to
liberate and render soluble the potash
contained in tnem, and hence its fa
vorable effects as a fertilizer. —Farmer

Peach Stains. —Peach stains can be
removed from linen or muslin with
tomato juice.
Fruit Stains. —Use oxalic acid. Be
careful of its using.

Why, How Bad You Look I

Don’t say that. \\ by not give the
poor, sickly one an encouraging word,
instead ? It will be far better. You
may bo startled’to find yonr friend, or
your neighbor, or some stranger whom
you meet, looking so ill But don't
show your surprise; keep vour self-pps
seßsion, and do not attempt to-express
sympathy by telling him he foofcfc
‘poorly,’ or ‘terribly,’ or ‘shockingly.’—*
One such word is sometimes enough to
topple over all a j>oor fellow’s course
and leave him shivering in the qepnis
of despondency. Speak cheerflilly al
ways to the sick. Look at th& better
side. Keep up their hope by lending
them to see how well they are, rather
than how sick they are.
