There is in tbe Maryland Fanner,
September No. pngs *275, an article
headed the Cattle Plague. The writor
seems to understand the disease, but
not she remedy. I think you could
not do a greater service to your readers
than to publish the arliile, and the cer
tain cure I will give below—one tbnt 1
have practiced with entire success for
the last twenty years F.om the con
dition of the cattle I sec, in iravolirg
over the eonotry, 1 think butaftw
know of the remedy. My opinion is,
*hat the disease isproduc7d by bad pas
tures, and run too long on the same pas
lure. Getting low in flesh and unhealthy
they are attacked by shingle tieVs i and
in this oonditicn, ate neith-r fit for bets
or milk ; will weigh on an average a*
lekst one hundred, pounds less than
healthy cattle—many will die i.t the
fall, and many more dujing the winter.
Many years ago, I spent one summer
in Kentucky, aud in the rich lime land,
1 did not sec a tick—in the knob and
mountain part there was any quantity
of them.
, Tbe remedy will cause a perfect cure,
ot prevent the disease, (which is better)
at an expense of not more than ‘2 to 4
cts. per head.
It is a certain remedy-be sure to
try it. Kiep the cattle from pah Com
ton to fifteen days, then take 2 parts
salt and one part ground sulphur, mix
well and give your cattle all they will
eat for four days in succession, until you
j u their blood well charged with it.—
In fifteen days repeat, and you will nev
er fail to clean the last tick off One
hundred lbs., will do per annum for
two or three hundrel head of cattle ;
and for every dollar spent for sulphur,
you will get an inerese of fifty in beef,
and that too of much better quali’y.
Respectfully, DAVID DICKSON.
We publish below the article referred
toby Mr. Dicks m;
Tub Cattle Plague.—An old Tex
an writ’ng to tho Chicago Times
gives the following hints in connection
with the tick theory :
'‘ihrst, ticks do not come from tbe
weod, nor from the gras —as far as ap
pearances arc concerned—but originate
from some peculiar condition of tbe ani
mal.
“I have been daily among cows and
calves for a dozen years or more and
detached lrora tbe anim and, unless forci
bly pulled off. Fat, healthy cattle and
horses have very few or none. Poor,
sickly animals always have them in
abundance. Milch cows generally have
their b dies more or less coveted with
them. The first appearance of the tick,
is a very minute insect—net moving
abcu*, but fastened t) the bide, and
thickly covering some portions of the
animal’s body ; and there they remain
until, having grown large, they are rub
bed off, or picked off oy birds or fowls.
Some old stock raisers insist that they
originate in the blood ; and I have heard
it affirmed by horse raisers that colts
are born sometimes, literally covered
with ticks.
“Now, with these facts as hints per
haps those investigating the matter
may better understand the nature of
the plague.’*
The Times remarks editorially :
“A cure for a disease does not al
ways hinge upon an intimate aud com
plete knowledge of its nature and
causes; but in this case,it would seem
as if it must do so. No one claims to
know of any cure, nor does anybody
attempt any. A single amnia l , or an
entire beard, ever attacked, is consid
eed lost. The people accept the dis
ease as a fatal one, and act according
ly, or, rather fail to act —accordingly.
Gne or two papers have urged that
green corn fed to a diseased animal,
was beneficial; but there is no person
to claim that it has effected a cure. In
the one or two cases—those of young
calves—in which recovery is said to
have occurred, the fact that there was
a heavy rain at the time, and that the
calves stood knee deep in water, was
alleged in explanati n : but no one had
seen fit to experiment in the same way
with other cattle.”
The %Vlfe.
Here ii the best Uibute to a true wo
man we ever read;
Only a woman be sure she is precious
to her hnsbind—not useful, not valua
hie, and not convenient simply, but
lovely and beloved} let her be the recip
ient of his polite and hearty attentions,
let her feel that her cares and love arc
noticed, appreciated and returned; let
her opinion be arked, her approval
sought, and her judgement respected
in matters with which she is cognizant
in short, let her only be loved, honored
and cherished- in fulfilment of the mar
riage vow, and she will be to her hus
band, her cbilderu and soeiety a well
sping of happiness. Sne will bear
pain tnd toil and anxiety, for her hus
band’s love to her is a tower and fortress.
Shielded and sheltered therciu, adversi
ty will have lost its sting. She may
suffer, but sympathy will dull the edge
of sorrow.
A house with love in it—and by love
I mean love expressed in word, and
looks, and deeds, for 1 have not a spark
of faith in love that never ernes out—
is to a house without love as a person to
a machine; one is life, the other is me
chanism — the unloved woman just as ti
dy as tho other, but tbe latter has a
spring of beauty about her, • joyousness
a penetrating brightness to which tbe
former is an entire stranger. The d»ep
happiness of her baart shines out in her
face. Bhe gleams over. If is airy and
g-aeerul, and warm, and welcoming with
her presence; she is full of devices and
plots, and swtel surprises fir her hus
band and (ami y Slto has never done
with the romanee and pootry of life
She herself is a lyric poem, setting her
self to all pure and gracious melodies.
Humble household wajs and dut.es have
for bor a golden significance. The prize
makes her calling high ; and the end
sanctifies the means. “Love is Heaven,
Herven is love.”

ASIATIC CHOLEfiA IN CHINA.
Almost Every Case Cured With
I* .A. IIV KILLER.
Read the following letter from Rev. R. Tel
ford, Missionary to Chi a, now visiting his
home in Pennsylvania :
WasniKOTOX, Pa., June 25, 1866.
Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, Providence, R.
I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence of some
ten years as a missionary in Siam and China,
1 found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most
valuable remedy lor that fearful scoutge the !
cholera. In administering the medicine, I |
found it most effectual to give a teaspoonful
of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweet
ened with sugar; >hen after about fifteen
minutes, begin to give a tablespoonful of the
same mixture every niiuute until relief was
obtained. Apply hot applications to the ex
tremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Kil
ler, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. 01 those
who had the cholera and took the medicine
faithfully in the way stated above, eight out
of ten recovered. Truly yours, R. Tllford.
In an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Cholic, don’t delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all n.edicins dealers. Price
25 cents, 50 cents and #1 per bottle.
Swxtow, China, Sept. 22, 1860.
Messrs. Perry Davis & Son : Dear Shs—l
ought to have acknowledged long ago the
box of Pain Killer you had the goodness to
send U 9 last year. Its coming was most prov
idential. I believe hundreds of lives were
saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap
peared here soon after we received it. We
resorted at once to the “Pain Killer,” using
as directed for cholera. A list was kept of
all to whom the “.Pain Killer” was giveD, and
our native assistants assures us that eight out
of every ten to whom it was prescribed re
covered. It has, too, been very useful it! va
rious other diseases. It has proved »n incal
culable blessing to multitudes of poor people
throughout all this region. Our native preach
ers are never willing to go out on their ex
cur-ions without a supply of the “Pain Kill
-r.” It gives them favor in ihe eyes of the
people, aud access to families and' localities
oy »hom o'herwise they would be indiffer
ently received. Believe me, dear sir, grate
fully and faithfully yours, etc.
