DEADLY DRINKING WATER !
A Universal Epidemic caused, How it
May be Avoided.
Typhoid fever rages everywhere!
Wherever cities are dependent
upon rivets or streams for their drink
ing water, the fever iages violently.
Throughout the entire South-west
and North-west the wells are low;
the water is of very poor quality; and
here also the fever rages.
The authorities of Albany, New
York, Chicago, Cincinnati, St, Louis,
’hil ibelphia and other large cities are
warning the people not to drink the
water without first boiling it to till
the malarial and typhoid germs.
Surely a winter of malaria and ty
phoid will ill prepare our people to
encounter a summer of cholera
Cholera and typhoid and malarial
fevers can all be prevented by simple
rules of life, and these rules should
be studied by every one. These di
seases are symptoms of a low state o'
the system, produced by the vitiated
blood.
This blood is made impure because
of the impurities in the drinking wa
ter, there impurities being deadly
poisons which paralyze the nerve ac^
lion of kidney and liver. NY hen
these blood purifying organs are par
alyzed, then the natural waste of the
body—the uric acid—accumulates
in the blood, ai.d fever cannot be pre
vented until this excesss of uric scid
has been removed.
The greatest necesity of everyday
lile is pure niter. Two-thirds of
one’s body is made up water. If tbe
water we drink is impure, then how
can we hope to escape diseased condi
tions?
It is impossible. The stomach,
liver and kidneys cannot jiuriry P u,,Uk
ed water.
Some cautious people resort to the
filter for purifying this water, but
even the filter does not remove this
poison, for water of the most deadly
character may pass through this filter
and become clear, yet the poison,
disguised, is there.
They who uso filters know that
they must become renewed at regu
lar periods, for even though they do
not take out all tbe the impurity,
they soon become foul,
Now iu like manner the human
kidneys act as a filter for the blood,
and if they are filled up with impuri
ties and become foul like the filter,
ail the blood in the system coursing
through them becomes bad, for it is
now a conceded fact that the kidneys
are the chief means whereby the
blood is purified. These organs are
filled with thousands of hair like
tubes, which drain the impurities
from the blood, as the sewer pipes
drain impurities from oui houses.
If a sewer pipe breaks under the
house, the sewage escapes into the
earth and fills the house with poison
ous gas: so if any of the thousands
and one iillle hair like sewer tubes
of the kidneys break down, tbe en
tire body is affected by this awful
poison.
It is a scientific fact that the kid
neys have few nerves of sensation;
and, consequently, disease may exist
in these organs for a long time and
not be st ..pected by the individual.
It is impossible to filter or take the
death out of the blood when tbe
least derangement exists in these or
gans, and if the blood is not filtered
then the nric acid or kidney poison,
removable only by Warner’s safe
cure, accumulates in the system aud
attacks any organ, producing niue |
out of ten ailment.-, just as sewer
gas and bad drainage prodoces so
many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to
exist if there is any marked depart
are from ordinary health without ap
narent known cause, and it should
: be understood by all that the great
est peril exists and is intensified if
there is tbe least neglect to treat it
promptly with that great specific, that
Warner’s safe enre. a remedy
has received the highest recognition
by scientific men, who have thorough
ly investigated the character of kid
ney derangements.
Tbe liver, when deranged. immedi
ately announces the fact by sallow
ekin, constipated bowels, coated
tongue and headaches: but the kid
ney when diseased struggles on for a
long time, and the fact of its disease
can only be discovered by Ihe aid of
the microscope or by the physician
who is skillful enough to trace the
most indirect effects in the system
to the derangement of these orgftns
ns the prime cause.
ALFALFA CLOVER.
How to Seed Laud aud Grow it Suc«
oessfully.
Albany News anil Advertiser.
It is always best to consider well
any contemplated step, and to go
into an enterprise advisably. The
articles published on alfalfa by the
News and Advertiser have produced
tbe desired effect quickly. A great
have expressed their defermi
to plant alfalfa at once, and
seed is in great request.
There is a growing desire for in
on the nature of the plant
the best aud most approved
of cultivation. The follow
from the Cincinnati Commercial
will -.bow what estimate is
on tbe plant by others:
According to the old proverb he
succeeds in making two spears
grass grow where one grew oefore
entitled to a reward of merit. By
it may bo supposed that
farmer who succeeds in growing
crop of grass or fodder from a ma
not in common use is entitled
marked distinction.
Now, we have long believed that
'i'T! ilifornta 1 -®, known better mtgnt as alfalfa or
clover, oo succumb

to the great advantage of farm
and stockfeeders generally, if
experimenters could be induced
give proper attention to the mat
We remember the plant was
in Eastern l’ennsylvania
years ago aud very much ap
proved by those who raised it, but
why the culture of it was intermit
ted no are unable to say.
A few amateur fanners in this
have made fitful efforts to es
it to a crop, but we believe
they failed to persist in the attempt.
Mean lime, on l ho Pacific Coast, we
believe that lucerne is now the princi
pal Lay and fodder crop, often bring
ing forth three or four crops per sea
sen, but fas exceeding ul! other grass
crops counted together,
Alfalfa is a perennial ot the clover
family, and grows, accotding io tbe
productiveness of the soil, from one
to three ttei high. It produces
abundant foliage and will endure
throughout the coldest winter. The
land should bo well prepared for it,
and twenty pounds of seed should bo
sown to the acre about April 1. Tbo
seed ougLt to be rolled well into tbe
soil. After the first year the plant
wil leprout front the roots, as soon
as tbo fiost is out of the ground,
and will be ready for the first cut
ting early in July. Many persons
fail iu their first attempt to raise al
falfa from putting it on poor land.
It ought to have old, rich timl welj
drained soil to make its best growth.
When it gtmws well it is a!\. jo ,. e
first plant teady for pasturu g in the
spring, and seldom produces less
than four tons per actc per s<..s< r.
after being well set.
Alfalfa is tbe i:d< it known fodd r
plant iu the world, having been
knowu and prized by the
and Romans nearly a thousand
before Christ. In bis fine work,

and ill advised efforts to cultivate la
cerue or alfalfa in this county, but,
while some small patches have
thrived, it has not been a signal sue
ces 3 for want of tbo knowledge of
the best methods.
The N '.vr and Advertiser, after
investigation, would suggest that
those who wish to plant this spring
do so at once, and plant in drills
about two feet, npart so as lo be able
to cultivate it. The most serious ob
stacle to its rapid possession of the
soil iu this section is the rank growtL
of weeds. The alfalfa is a plant of
slow growth at first, and the weeds
here are of prodigous growth and are
liable to choke it out. The best
GmA, broad foi- nnwipc the alfalfa seed
cast, is in me run;
plant is perennial in our climate and
will so possess the soil by spring as
to exclude weeds by the vigor of its
own growth.
Fresh land will prove best to sow
do«u, as the weeds will not prove so
troublesome.
In this latitude the plant grows
luxuriantly all winter, and can easily
be cut six times a year, and on rich
soil will unquestionably yield from
four to six tons of bay per acre. At
20 pounds of seed per acre, the cost
may appear excessive, but it is tnoder
ate when it is remembered that once
seeded, it is perennial and that the
seed from half an acre, if saved, will
sow several acres tho Dext year.
The News and Advertiser studifa
to know what is best calculated to
improve tbe material condition noth of |
our people, and believes that
ing iu sight promises more for tbe
advancement of this section thati the
general cultivation of alfalfa.
