SI’XBE.IMS. On April 10 the 700th performance ®f ‘ Les Huguenots" was given at the Paris Opera. Isn’t there a. seeming Ueongrousness in describing a total abstinence lecturer as at work in the moral vineyard ? An exhibition of works of art was opened at Yeddo, in Japan, on the sth of March. It is too close on the 30th of June. It contains many French pictures. A colony of eighty-four persons at St. Peter, Minn., is composed of one woman and her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, with their husbands and wives. Shakespeare’s works are being rendered into the Malo-Russian language by a well-known writer in that dialect, M. Kulish, who has already completed a translation of six of the plays. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, who is now staving at the home of her brother-in-law, N. W. Edwards, at Springfield, 111., •is in a very delicate state of health, being confined to her bed nearly all of the time. The supply of water received in ' Rome by the aqueducts from the Alban hills is magnificient, but it ooes not ascend to the top of the higaest houses. It is now proposed to put up works to accomplish this end. The prosecuting Attorney of Columbus, Ohio, bent all his energies to the conviction of Les Thomas, a supposed robber, and is now bending them to se- t cure his pardon, being convinced taat he is innocent. The Princess Dolgorouki. the morganatic wife of the Ute Czar, is instructing her financial agents to inves largely on her behalf in American se-. curities. in which she has already plated between two and three million dollars. A Significant Fact —The cheapest medicine in use is Thomas’ Electric Oil. because so very little of it is required to effect a cure. lor croup, diphtheria, and diseases of the lungs and throat, whether used for bathing . the chest or throat, for taking internally or inhaling, it is a matchless compcutid. Fraud.—Tens of thousands of dollars are squandered yearly upon traveling quacks, who go from town to town professing to cure all the ills that our poor humanity is heir to. Mhy will not the public learn common sense, and if they are suffering from dyspepsia or liver complaint, invest a dollar in Spring Blossom, sold by all druggists and indorsed by the faculty.

G. CHRISTEN. Auditor’s office. Adams County, nl 4w Decatur, April 28, 1381. IL4\ STRAW WAITED. To the Farmers of ddamfi and ..Idjoininir Counties. I will call your attention to a luat- : ter that concerns you as well as myself. The culture of flax is very imperfectly ’ understood by a large majority of our I farmers. I desire to call your atten- . lion to a few very important points and •. iif proper consideration is given my g ' views I have no doubt but that pecuni--6 I ary benefits will accrue to those who 1 may see proper to follow my instruca general rule our farmers b I do not properly prepare the soil for flat 62 1 seed. The next evil is their sowing Ib. I which is generally succeeded with of I crop of weed* and fox-tails instead c

- J lint and seed. Two pecks of seed to ’ I the acre may produce an average crop ! if the season is very favorable, but three pecks to the acre is more certain , taking everything into consideration. > The best soil for to sow flax on is sod ’ ground, and next best to that is good ' clean corn stubble. The ground should . I be well prepared, well ploughed and , harrowed fine. Get a field roller and I make your ground smootbe and fine, ' then sow your seed and brush it in ! with a brush, and pul no less than three peck* to an acre of ground. . . Our farmers let the seed get too ripe 1 before harvesting ; the result is shrinkage in seed and a very unprofitable ar- ) tide to the crusher or manufacturer. Don't let your flax get ripe before cutting; it is necessary, but wrong. Some think seed ought to have a brown color before it is fit to cut. This is a mistake. When seed is fairly formed in the boll, and begins to harden a little, cut down your flax and let it ripen in j the swath. It will mature in 8 or 10 | days. You will then have a quality of I seed that will be desirable. Seed saved in this way will weigh six pounds more to the stroked bushel than seed that has ripened while standing. Pry it once and you will be convinced. The next matter of importance is taking care of the straw so it will real- ; ize for you the highest market price. ( The farmers of Huntington and adjoin- < ing counties are rotting their straw be- > fore bringing it into the market and s they are well pleased with the arrange- j ment, as tbe cost of rotting amounts to ( but very little to the farmers as they I are provided with ever facility. This < idea of rotting may not meet with much j favor; but I have no fears. After the < first experiment has been tried you will ( neier want to sei' green straw *ffie>> , wards when you ean get from $2 to $3 t ’ per ton more for rotted than for unrot- i ted. For your information I will say 1 that one man can spread out foul tons ‘ [ter day, and this amount should cover s one acre of ground as near as possible. s It must be slwok out and spread very light so the grass underneath can be ’ seen. There is one great advantage in j li<*ht spreading; it rots and drys quick- t ly. It will not rot evenly if it is laid , down in bunches, as the inside receives s material benefit while the exposed 1 parts will be properly rotted. I here ' need be no misunderstanding. When ( farmers come to market their straw and. , if I should find fault, say : “Well, I 1 spread it out and did as you directed, I I can tell how it has been treated. I ' sometimes get straw that is rotted ] t enough before the seed is taken oil. I also get some that is about half rotted. These two qualities I can use by : mixing with well rotted stock. |' The average price for different qualities will be: For long, clean and well , rotted straw. SG; green and uarotted, $3. The cost of rotting will not exceed GO cents ner ton to those who own the ground and have cheap labor. Farmers having straw of Jast year's crop will find a market for it. If fur- ' ther information is wanted by any parties they will find me at the factory. Farmers wanting to buy seed for sowing can be accommodated by calling on Niblick, Crawford & sous. T. F. Mylott. Decatur, Ind., Mar. 17, ISSI. YOUR DISEASE ?i The doctor says “Piles.” Yes. Now ' read carefully tbe foilowiag symptoms, and ■ ' you can teli what your trouble is. It is i i not all Piles that affect tbe Rectum. There | I is but one symptom by which tbe sufferer j , 1 can tell positively that piles is the malady, ‘ 1 and that is protrusion from the rectum I Bleeding is no evidence of piles, unless ' : protrusion accompanies it. You have piles I when there is protrusion from the rec’ura ; ' bleeding also multiplies the evidence. Pro- ' i cidentia also protrudes, but goes back at 1 ; once without pressure, and Joes not bleed. Fissure in Ano. » This often bleeds freely at stool, when t the upper end of the fissure, which is a ' j crack u the lower end of lhe rectum and ■ i anal membrane, opens into a vien. i . Bleeding alone Is no evidence of fissure, ' t but when at, or after stool, a severe, ach- 1 ing, throbbing pain is set up in lower end j f of the rectum, making the person suffer all ■■ I over, sometimes being a continuous and at g i other limes lasting from one to six hours ; . | then you can rely on having a fissure in e j ano. It is not piles. Rectal Vlcer a Tearful Malady. Q i Now read carefully ’ In this malady i jis Death s harvest.' The symptoms, at) [ different stages of the disease, are very ! different. Study this well. The malady ' j is a very common and dreadful one in its . ) results, and often, unless watchful, it will . ) not be noticed seriously until to » late to I be cured. For this reason it ia a dreadful f ) malady. Like a serpent, it has you before t you think seriously of it. The symptoms j ; I change as the disease advances. I will ■ . ' try and follow them from tbe first to test: i k Bleeding at stool and often morning diar- ! rheen, resembling coffee-grounds; consti-j pation; very slow, hard stools; desire to ' » remain long at stool : very lame back and ) I Him; pain in the abdomen ; poor atom-1 . ach; dyspepsia: heart affection; loss of ; memory ; pain in b.»se of brain and neck , i liver trouble; severe cough, more from , stomach thin lungs; ash-colored com- . ) flexion ; wrinkled outer corners of eyes ; I discharges of mucus like white of egg;) lower end of stool hard and lumpy ; small, - . Lard aud painful lumps, one or more, just . ’ outside the rectum; presence of fissure; > . fistula; week, lame knees and thighs; , ; back and hips get sore in bed; painful burning in soles of feet ; kidney and uri- » nary troubles; numbness of legs: sore f ■ nerves, muscles and joints, called iheumae I tism; very annoying itching about the anti*, j always caused by rectal ulcer: and, finally, entire destruction of sphincters and anal membrane —wrecked manhood and womanr ‘ hood—poor, feeble, weakly, broken down . ' bodies and minds. Again, very constant diarrhoea, up often ! at night, diabeties, paralysis of limbs and t brain: ‘softening of brain;” acute inf dammation of bowels and stomach ; severe hemorrhages of bowels . insanity; tired of life: no pleasure in life. Then comes r deaih and ends all after a wasted life from ruined health. This milady takes thou- - sands of young men and women from us. I have bad cases at sixteen as well as at eighty. It is, in disease 6, as the lion is I amongst beasts, the monster to he dreaded, i This matedy is commonly called by the I profession “Bliud Piles.” There is noth- . i ing like.pi es about it. lam fully satisfied j tha: this malady is no respecter of age or ? persons. It comes, generally, from injury I to the mucus membrane from bard, sharp, r < passing substances with the stool, such as - . fish and other small bones, fruit seeds, 1 i pieces of oyster shells, splinters, of beef . bones, etc. After the injury inflammation ’ occurs, an l an abcess gs sore is started : passing faeces poison and irritate it; it 0 i finally inflames the whole mucus mem--5-1 brane and nervous system deceive the pro•g session wonderfully as to womb and vagi,x ; troubles—‘‘female weakness” and other , ills to which it may be changed. I have 1 number of cates that will bear me out * ! ia ’he above statement. j Perlons often Bay to to nej

suffering is not in the rectum, but in n>y back, kidneys, stomach, limbSj head, etc.” 3o 1 tell you in my circulars. A small sore on lhe toe or finger will often produce » kernel in the groin or under the arm. Would it not be folly to doctor the kernal instead of the toe or finger ? Remove the cause, and the kernal will disappear. And yet when persons so say to me, as stated above, when their attention is directed to the fact they will say, “Yes, I am constipated, but take pills to keep my bowels open; I must remain long in the closet.’ This is all the evidence you want to prove the presence of an ulcer. Then you huve the “kernels” all through jour system, too. What more do you want? JFithout congestion and inflammation in your rectum, whv become costive? That dries up the fluids and produces your constipation. Only reason a little and you will soon trace effects back to causes. The Rectum. The rectum is the lower end of the large bowel. In length it varies owing to the build of its possessor—but, in general, is from three to six inches long. It differs from the colon in this, viz: in position it is nearly erect, and so kept, from its connection with the tissue between it and spinal column. If an ulcer should eat through the wall of the colon the opening wou’d be into the abdominal cavity. So, too, is the if its location is la’teral or anterior, which, fortunately, Is seldom tlie case—in the rectum. Nearly always do we find Lhe ulcer in the posterior part of rectum ; but. in time, it often eats latterly and, sometimes entirely around the wall. Toward the spinal column it can burrow deeply! Into such cavity, when produced, enters, at stool, portions of the passing ffeces, until, in time, the cavity becomes solidly filled, and the wall of the ulcer distended so that the impaction is greatly larger than the orifice through which it entered! In this condition the pressure upon the nerves and tissue heroines very severe and trying and the former becomes paariially, and sometimes, entirely par-1 lyzed! This impaction must be removed, or death will soon result! In this iropae- ’ tiou is written the words “Heart very often, and Consumption ! This impaction, filling the cavity and forcing the tis- , sue and membrane into a globular form, , pressing it hard against ihe opposite wall, I or side, and almost closing the canal, is one . of the important causes of “ribbon-shapeT stools, and, also, one of the chief causes of , slow, hard passages. The office of tbe rectum is a very import- i ant one. It is severely tested, and very ; little care taken of it. It becomes injured ■ by passing small bones, sharp oyster ' shells, seeds of fruit, and parts of indigested apple cores, and by various other hard \ substances, it becomes lacerated anJ bruised—is seldom cleaned by injections of pure water after stool, as it should be—the laceration and injuries become sores there, as outside—severe ulceration follows, and ! death is tbe result. These are tbe obser-I rations of Dr. A. W. Brinkerhoff, who has performed more than twenty thousand op erations cn Rectal Diseases. Consumption from I tccration. Dr. Brinkerhoff says: “I have become fuljy convinced, from my practice and ex- ) perienee, that a vast majority of cases called consumption are produced by, or are simply cases of, rectal ulceration. 1 have seen too much to doubt this. 1 have seen patients in all stages of the disease. The worse the “consumption, so tailed, the worse the ulcer. ‘T have never yet seen a case of lipped ulcer, just above the upper sphincter, that did not produce a severe cough and rap- j illy crush the system and lead to death if not treated. Now, only, is the time to at--1 tend to them, as soon as felt. “I feel sad when I see so many young mon and young women fading, failing, coughing their young lives away, drugged to death more rapidly bp their meflical attendants, who know not what they are doing or why they are doing it.” Bad case of ulceration may terminate in consumption; and I am more convinced j every day that not a few can trace the ex- i citing cause of their consumption to L i . cfrafionand fistula of the rectum. Time Accessary to Cure. Piles may be cured in one, two, three, or | it may take six or more treatments Uiccr treatment is entirely different. Here is a deep hole to heal up. It may take more than one year to cure it. Very I seldom less than six months' treatment in ’ almost every case is necessary before the ■ patient is entirely free from pain and suffering. No ligating, no cutting, no barbarous methods about it. 1 use Dr. Brinkerhoff’s Rectal Syetem of Practice. To ladies we will say that you need not fear exposure—there is none. The most refined lady can be made well without any mortification whatever, and scotes of such can testify to this. Come and be cured — stay away and suffer death. But remem ber this: Your moral duty is to seek health, ; and be a joy in your home—not a sad. : helpless invalid. Duty demands this of . you. Act, and act wisely. If a doctor (?) should accidentally say, “I am trying to fuol you and get your money i come and see if he told the truth, and learn who my patients are, and judge what 1 could say. I can cure you, reader, 1 care not bow bad your case. My operating room door ia open to all physicians to observe the ntodus operandi if they '.yilL Truly yours, A. B. JAMISON, M.
