Valuable for Fifty Years. Why Not Now?
✓
When in 1857 my father Dr. J. I. Robinson, began the making of
Robinson’s Black Bitters
It’s sale depended upon the recognition of it’s therapatic value. The MERIT was there. That was the reason for it’s begin
ing, but to introduce and keep before tne public a family remedy of merit, for 50 years is no little task, this has been accomplished
simply by adhering strictly to the original formula of my father, useing only tht best Roots, Herbs, and Gums that nature affords for
the relief of the many distresses that the human flesh is heir to.
To-day we find a few Physicians who claim that Minerals are just as good and effective, as is the Herb and Barks.
You know that Epsom salts will act, and you also know that they were in existence 50 years ago, but the mere fact of acting is not
what constitutes the remedial virtue of ROBISON’S BLACK BITTERS but, it is ths perfect combination of Nature’s Remedies
that enter it’s composition for the relief of Constipation, Intestinal and Gastric disorders, Torpidity of the Livet, Colic, Cramp Colic,
Pains in Back, Hips, Shoulders, Neuralgia Ovarian Pains, Diarrhea, Dysentery, PILES, Rheumatism, and all Nervous complaints, has
no Equal as Female Regulator. ROBINSON’S BLACK BITTERS, are just as easy to obtain to=day, as they were 50 years
ago, there has been no change in the formula, and the work they have done in the past for the BENEFIT of Humanity is still being
done by them to=day. Get a bottle, if not pleased with results, say so, and get your money back.

ORIGIN OF QUARANTINE.
Dr, Richard Mead’s Action During the
Plague of 1721.
To Dr. Richard Mead, who was in

to George

established quarantine.
In 1721. when the plague ravaged
Marseilles and its contagious origin
was discredited, I>r. Mead declared the
plague to be “a contagious distemper,”
«ud a quarantine was enjoined. He
also proposed a system of medical po¬
lice, which finds its counterpart in the
health officers of today. It was he
"h° declared. “As nastiness is a great
| the source greatest of infection, so cleanliness is
Me preventative.”

future husband?”
“Not much.” replied Mrs. Galley.
“I’ve come to learn where my present
husband is when he’s absent”—Phila¬
delphia Press.
THEY DIDN’T MIND DIRT.
In the Days When Clothe* Were Dyed,
but Never Washed.
In the matter of the washing of
clothes, not to say the washing of
themselves, our ancestors were a trifle
lax. The laundress of the twelfth cen¬
tury must have held a position which
was practically a sinecure, while it
seems within the bounds of {Risibility
that in those days she did not exist
at all. There were. Insooth, few gar¬
ments which would stand washing,
and the dyer was driving a brisk trade
before the laundress was even thought
of. A little dye must indeed have cov¬
ered a multitude of spots.
In the days of the Tudors and Stu¬
arts washing was a trifle more in evi¬
dence than formerly, but those articles
which were permitted to find their
way into the “buck pan”—as the wash¬
ing tub used to be called—were few
and far between. The wealthy of the
middle ages got over the difficulty of
obtaining clean underclothing with
primitive simplicity by not wearing
any, while the lower orders wore
coarse woolen garments that would
no doubt have “shrunk In the wash.”
To prevent any casualty of the kind
they remained unwashed.
Velvets, taffetas and richly dyed
silks, such as those worn by the no¬
bility and gentry, could noL of course,
be washed, and should any person of
high degree be the possessor of a linen
shirt it was a thing which was care¬
fully made known to all hla friends
and relatives as being extremely la
mode and a fit subject for congratula¬
tion, but washed it never was for fear
of injuring its pristine beauty.—Lon¬
don Tatler.
Witeherefl.
In many parts of the world—Greece,
for Instance—the believer In witchcraft
still gets hold, by hook or by crook, of
hair, nail [tarings and so forth from
an enemy's bead and hands and burns,
buries or does something else with
them in order to entail unpleasant con¬
sequences upon that enemy. And uni¬
versal folklore reveals the concern of
savages to dispose of their own hair
and nail clippings to prevent an enemy
from getting at them. Australian na¬
tive girls, having had a kck of hair
stolen from them, expected speedy
death as a certainty. — London Tele¬

Virtues of th* Nur**.
Sir William Osier In a lecture at
Johns Hopkins training school named
the seven virtues of the nurse: “TacL
without which no woman can be suc¬
cessful and her chief protection In the
mechanism of life; tidiness. It being
the primary duty of a woman to look
well; taciturnity, which should be cul¬
tivated as a gift; sympathy, gentleness,
the birthright of a nurse; cheerfulness
and charity, the last and greatest of
all.” _____
WOMEN ON HORSEBACK.
I'bey Cut a Queer Figure Before Side¬
saddles Were Invented.
Before Queen Catherine de’ Medici
started the fashion of sidesaddles by
having a board slung on the left side
of her horse to support her feet all
poor women rode on a pillion behind a
man. All women of the better class
rode astride.
A lady to prepare for riding bent
forward and took hold of the lower
hem of the back of her dress skirt,
drew It through between her legs and
wrapped her skirts around her legs
down to her knees, then folded the rest
of her skirts across the front of her
person.
Then she drew on a pair of large
trousers, the legs of which ended Just
below the knees, where they were
sewed to the tops of a pair of clumsy
riding boots. The upper part of the
trousers was open in front, and the
flaps folded across the person and fas¬
tened by a band around the waist. A
hood was worn on the head, and a
mask protected the face from sun and
weather. She rode on a man’s saddle
and wore spurs and carried a quirt
(riding whip) looped on the right wrist.
The same style and kind of quirt is
now used by our western cowboys
and plains Indians and was formerly
carried by the Cossacks.
A lady in riding costume, whether on
foot or on horseback, was anything but
a graceful figure.
Our great-grandmothers rode on side¬
saddles. but their great-great-grand
mothers rode astride if they belonged
to the gentry class.
Our plalDs Indian women, even when
they changed their buckskin skirts
that came to the knee and their buck¬
skin leggings for the long calico skirt
of white women, always rode astride.—
Washington Fost
Vague.
“I didn’t exactly know how to take
the missis this morning.” said the
lady’s maid to. the cook.
“What did she say?”
“When I remarked that I was afraid
her complexion could not be improved
by cold cream she told me I needn’t
rub It in.”—Baltimore American.
Most of Them Do.
“It only needs determination to live
a hundred years,” says a well known
health writer. A great many people
have determined to live a century or
die in the attempt—and they have died
in the attempt—New Orleans Picay¬
une.
Good Plan.
It ls a good plan while waiting for
your ship to come in to kill time by go¬
ing to work to earn something.—New
Orleans Picayune.
Tls a wise saying. Drive on your
own track.—Plutarch.

HOW TO GET RID
OF THE CATTLE TICK
(Continued from Page 1)
few animals are to be treated.
Where a large number of cattle are
to be treated, but not enough to Var¬
iant building a vat, spraying has giv¬
en good results. The necessary equp
ment consists of a force pump such
as is used by orchardists for spraying
trees, with a barrel in a wagon or
on a platform and a hose with an or¬
dinary nozzle. The spraying should
be continued htroughout ' the whole
season and if thoroughly don® will
leave the cattle and pasutre free for
the following year.
Dippingg in Vat.
Where a large number of animals
ore to be treated, dipping in a vat is
a convenient and effective method.
The Arstnical Solution * is
Standard
considered the most satisfactory dip.
Pasture Rotation.
This system of eradication appeals
to many r farmers and should be fol¬
lowed whenever practicable or condi¬
tions will permit. It consists in plac¬
ing ticky animals in a pasture for
a period of 20 days. During that
time a considerable number of ticks
will drop off. Then transfer the cat¬
tle to a second small pasture for an¬
other 20 days, and if all the ticks
Lave not dropped off, to still another
pasture. If the full time has been
consumed and the stock is then
ready to be placed on tick-free
pasture. The object of moving cattle
from pasture to pasture at intervals
of 20 days is to cause all the ticks
to drop off and at the same time to
prevent the animals from becoming
infested again with young, or seed
ticks. Twenty days is less than the
shortest time within which seed ticks
wli appear from eggs laid by ticks
that drop off, and all of the ticks
present on the animals will have
dropped off in 60 days. The young
treks,when hatched, will starve if no
cattle are prseent in the pasture for
them to go on.
