i.Tia UUgtin Tbe Good of Fallow in;. od Incnbatort-IThat Milch Cow Ha j L AYlr I 'nnrlns Bit Layers Live Stork Memoranda A, eld lutlgatioa. Hr. II. A. Utigh aiviaes we ill in his law article in the American Agriculturist for Jftae, fro ai which ve clip the following: To avoid litigation, let the farmer look pon a lawsuit ia a fair business way, as a Tm.tm.aa to an end; and let him not undertake the one unless the other will justify it, mot only in principle and morals, bat in BOaey. So, too, if the farmer ia sued, lot Lisa fairly consider whether it Will be cheaper to pay the claim, or tight it, and in OS. cases he will do well to follow tbe cheaper coarse. It he finds the oppOsUt party is actios in good faith, with no intent f extorting, and in honest belief that the demand is just, he will do well to endeavor to settle amicably. And in his eiljrt his lawyer will be of perhaps moat valuable service, iad should be well paid. Many persons eeena to suppr.se that if a case ia settled before trial, or if a claim ia adjusted without suit, that the lawyer has done no reiiiy lesal won. and is entitled to little or no coaipen ration. This ia tbe very opposite of truth. The lawyer's best work ia in preventing and Yoidirg litigation, just a3 the doctor's most valuable service should be in preventing disease, and such work should be best appreciated in a substantial way. A good lawyer's best clients seliioui set into the Courts. Ac otter pneantioato aroid litigation is to consult an kuuat and competent attorney before taking any step in law, and to be guided by his anbiaaed advice. It is possible io almost every community to find honest lawyers who would no sooner advise their clients into disateroua litigation for the sake of pofsible personal gain, than would honest loctuTS give poiron to their patients for the take of prolot ging sickness and increasing fees; for either is equally criminal. Such a lawyer reed not, necessarily, be one of very Ion and bigh standing, hoe tiaie and services, by reason of the demand upon theo, kav btcome costly. But there are generally younger men in a community who have early learned that satisfying professional success caa only be achieved by hon est and unselfish endeavor for their client's best interest, ard who are quietly acting upon that conviction, by aecoad nature if not by Urtt. Try not to have any differences. Such as youkavetry to settle yourselves. Buchas you thus füil in, have your lawyers try to settle. Never o to law to gratify ane"r or pride, or for any dishonest motive. When you do go to law treat the matter as a business transact! ja. TnoOooa;! Fallowing. Nearly ait the gxd of fallowing is obtained by a preen crop that :3 either plowed under, or fed to live stock, and the manure returned to the land. A soil giins in its stock of available plant food by rowins crops, is none of the elfmeata are removed. Pasturage i3 one of the et methods of recruiting land. Potash and phosphoric acid are brought up iroin the lower soil by the roots, and finally deposited either on the surface or antketarf. In like manner, the nitric acid that mi?nt have escaped in the drainage water, is captured by the root3 and changed into a tiled Torm in organic compounds. A quicker method of renewing the strength of a feeble soil is to grow soma scavenger plant, like buckwheat, and plow under the whole crop, thus adding organic matter rapidly to the surface soil. This may be followed by clover, a plast that has a special renovating power, and by growing throughout the whole reason is ono of the best means oi gathering and holding fertility. The fallow is valuable, but in most cases a growing crop doea a larger and moie lasting work of restoration. ESS and Incubator. llr. P. II. Jacobs writes from loDg personal iperienco on a leading poultry topic ia the American Agriculturist for Jane. The majority of operators pay tho bet atfeition to the incubators, but overlook the eggs. The eggs are of more importance thaa anything esle, and must be suitable for the purpoe if eood results lire expected. On cock should be mated with only a few hens. The chicks progress very well until the time for picking their way from tbe shell, when they die if the hens are largely in excessTwo cocks together interfere too much, and failures arise from that cause. The egs hould be gathered often, and carefull kept. lo not trust to eggs from a neighbor, and endeavor to ne only fresh ones. Too mach heat is dangerous, but a low temperature is not always fatal. The heat in the drawer should not exceed 1G' degrees, nor be lower than;)-; but egg have hatched after tha heat haa been as high aj 11G degrees for a short period. Turn the eggs two or three times daily, "with aa arrsrgement of slats fastened at the nd3 to strips running lengthwise. I'y placing the eggs between these slats taey can be turned half round by merely pushing th8 frame of ilate. The ers should be aired once a day by cooliDg down to TO degrees, and panj of water should be kept in the ventilator drawer. Sprinkle the czz two or three times daily. The aaw-dust packing has solved the problem of home-made incubators. It requires two d.tjs to jet the great mass of sawdust heated (about fare barrel), bat it also gives off heat correspondingly slow. When onoa the incubator is at the proper temperature, it varies bat little after turning dowu tha 3ame cf the lamp to suit the heat. Tha hot-water incubator was filled with boiling water, and no additional heat added for one week. The temperature varied only eleven degrees in that time,. This 67ea temperature is due to the eight inches of sawdust, for the incubator holds its heat long after the water is drawn olf. The heat cau be increased at anytime by adding a little boiling water. Using this incubator, no 2 amps are needed, with foul gases and danger f explosions. We believe artificial hatching to be an easy matter, and have no doubt others may Meet with eual success by the same method. What Mil eta CowTMay Do. - The "native" or "common" cow of this ceantry don well if she yields 3,000 pounds of milk per year with common care; with the beat of feed and cars ahe may give 5,000 iound3. Under common care and feed the folland cows maybe safely expected to yield pounds, and with the best feed and care 7,(XjO pounds or more per year, Bnppoting the average price of rnilk to be put one cent per pound, the yearly income from the common cow would range from $30 to $"2; from the cow of filed milking type it would be from $4? to $70, the difference in favor of the latter being frora $117 to $24 00 per year. In the ten years these cows may be expected to give milk that amounts to $H7.f0 to $J45. The above is, however, decidedly an understatement of the milking capacity of some pure bred herds. Tbe Holstein Herd Book of 1S.' gives the record of milk production of several if olsteia cows which, in one herd, in 12. ranged from H,50 pounds 5 ounces to 37,740 pounds 2 ounces. The individual Xecorda of the cows were as below: Cow. One day, Thirty days, Oneyeir, lb. lb. Tady TVsIworth 7i Queen of Wayne 7."

The first two cows in the list were eight yeara old, the others were two years old. The two cows and one heifer averaged 11,2) pounds six ounces in one year. The remaining fourteea of the list averaged 11,118 pounds three ouncee. At one cent per pound the average income from cows of this herd is easily ascertained. That these animals are without their like is shown by the records of the Holstein caw Cbatangua Girl, 1,177, which gave 2,400 pounds of milk in Jane, 1831. Jane 10 she gave eighty-five pounds of mitk. The a -ven-year-old Holstein Zjvarte, 2,024, Rave 6,8g11,' pound? in the four months between April G and August;, 1S82. from which pounds of batter were made. From April 6 to November 1 ahe made 4 0 pounds of butter. Mr. Charles Crapso, of Iowa, says that he h&3 in hia herd caws giving sixty to seventy-five pounds of milk per day, and two-year-old heifers which have given forty pounds on grass. The twoyear-old heifer Nancie Spoflbri gave in 21) dys 3,110 pounds twelve ounces of milk, an average of thirty-three pounds two ounces per day. Uosa Bonheur in her two-year-old form gave in one day fifty-eight pounds four ounces of milk; in one month Ui. pounds eight ounce?, and in one year 13,411 pound four ounces of milk. The list might b9 greatly extended, but enough has been shown to prove that tle farmers of this country may, if they will, keep upon their farms cows which will yield each year, with good cire and food. 10,000 pound.s cf milk worth at least $100, instead of wasting time, food, and shelter upon cows which will probably fall short of producing 5,G? pounds worth $"". TYlro Fencing. In the West the best farmers use only three wires, claiming t hat this is sufficient to turn all kinds of itock, excepting hogs. Tbe posts are set about 2.' feet in the ground, and one rod apart; the wire is stretched IG, 2Ü aud 12 !nche3 apart rep?ctively, the lower wire being Vi inches above the ground. This gives a fence 50 inches high. The b'ack painted wire, with eithrr two or four barbs, about five inches apart, ia used more extensively than the galvanised er white wire, the former being much stroager and more durable than tbe latter. The cost of such a fence as described need pot exceed thirty-five cents per rod. exclusive of the labor, ßraces not leas th&a ten to twelve feet long should be placed against each end xst of the line, and at intervals between if the line of fence ia very long. If these braces are not sufliciently long they will spring or "cive," and the fence smh. slacken. In fixing the braces against the poit they shonld be placed at a point even with or above tbj upper wire, or the posts will be lifted and made looe. . A novel, tlhcient, and approved mode of stretching the wire is to wrap it around the hub of ft wagon wheel, using the latter as a caps-tan. Precaution mn3t be taken to prevent the wagon from moving by securing it with a rope or ch.in. Following this mode ore strong man can, by taking hold of the spokes, etVcctaally tighten a wire forty rods long. Stock soon becomes used to these fences, and are careful to give them a wide birth. Live-Stock Memoranda. Tbe Jersoy cow I,ucy, of Wabash. 0,711, t3ted for the verk ended May 11, made fifteen ound. one-quarter ounc of butter for her owner, 15. 1. bouthworth, Defiance, O. Alfred Hay, an Australian breeder of Merinos, aays that in Australia the Merino makes the choicest mutton, tha pure-bred animals bein preferred to crosses with other breeds. The iersev cow Lady Mary Linden, 12,800, of the I.auv Iklary family, recently di?a from meningitis. She made, not long bafore her death, two pounds two and one-half ounces of butter in one day. "I care nothing lor the Island honors," write3oneof the most prominent of American breeders of Jersey cattle in a private letter, "only wish the butter evidence in the family lino." The remark fairly indicates the feeling now becoming general among breeders of Jerseys ia thi-i country. Last week Lymaa & (iiddinjrs. Downer's Grove, 111., sold to K. C. Dye forty Jersey cows and heifsrs and ioar bulls. They were hipped May L'l. This is, so far B3 the number ij concerted, the lar.reit sale reported of Jeraeys by one firm to out person. There were several very good cow3 in the lot. I. D. liisher, Hope Church, Pa., reports that his Jerey cow. Black Diamond's 4ueen, ll,Mh, has just finished a test of seven days, in which she made fifteen pound? rf batter. She is half sister to Regina 2d, 2,475, a cow which made fourteen pounds eirht ounces of butter in a week, both cows having been aired by Noble (104 J. Ii. H.). Carefally compiled s'atistics show that th annual losi from disease among cattle an ounta to 10 per cent. The lcses in the last five years reached the sum of $4'",QOO;eoo per annum. Ty many experienced ranchmen the Ioes for handling cattle is estimated at even more than lOper cent. This is a loss which falls upon the coLsamer, andean be prevented only by changes in transportation. C. .Kasthop, owner ot the Jersey bull King of A&hantee, (-,077, has limited tha animal to twenty cows outside of his herd, at $200 each. One breeder wants to contraet for theee twe: ty services, vhich has been refused. He i3 a grand young bull, greatly admired, and his owner has been offered and retased $10,000 for him. Other parties offered $'J,000 for a half interest in bins, and this was also declined. The Best Layers. I). 'A. Evans, th well-known hea fancier, says: During many years' experience with poultry of all kinds we have found the White Leghorns to stand at the head of the list of layers, and not only do they produce an immense number of eggs each year when well fed, Loused properly and cared for as ail fine stocc should be, but they are hardy and produce lively aad vigorous chicks. As these chicks feather up ao quickly, and, when hatched early, lay the same fall they are hatched, tbey are doubly worth breeding. Their clet:r white bodies, and large bright combs make them very attractive. The young birds, and especially the pullets, make line eating, when four or live montha old, bat we prefer the cockerels to bo about a year old, and well fattened before being used for the table. We still favor the Single-comb Iieghora despite the fact that the new-fashioned IlDsecomb Leghorns claim much attention just now. We have had very few case? of frozen combs, and there be no danger from this, where comfortable houses, rain and windproof, are made, end raref al attention is paid to housing the birds during severe weather. Where the poultry-house is very large, a amall stove and low lire just enough to keep the temperature a little above the freezing-point can be used during the w;nter, and more fgzs, better health, and consequently greater profit will result. The White Leghorns lay good-sized eg-ra, seldcm sit, or when they do are not to be depended on to hatch out a brood. It is best to use good common hens for 8'ttn?. or e!esome good i neu I a tor. The sarplas stock of pulled and cockerels can each aaon be disjosei of rtadily at a fair price to dealers and breeders. Humor la tho Stomach. Mach of the distress and sickness attributed to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhea and other caiiEes is occasioned by humor in the stomach. Several ca3C3, with all the characteristics of the3e complaints, have been curd by Hood's Sanaparilla. Other cnrai ei'tcld by this medicine are so wondtrfcl that the aimpitst statement of them aübrds the b'jt prcof that it combines rare curative as2nt3, and when once vsei seevtes ths coaUdecce of ths peopl j.

I From Oar Uegular Corresondcat.l WAJaiNTox, May 21. The past week wai marked by unusually fine weather at the National Capital. A band of Italian days visited it. They came most opportunely for the parade by the Society of the Army of the Potomac at their fifteenth reunion. The veterans paraded tha streets, were reviewed by the President, made excursions to Washington's tomb, and were banqueted. The citizens threw banners and bunting to the breeze in honor of the occasion, and crowded the sidewalks to gaze at the pageant. The entertainment of thess visitors was altogether successful, and they expressed themselves as delighted with their cordial reception. They are no little surprised, however, that at their 5r3t reunion in the capital city the President of the United States shoild render himself conspicaous by absence from a banquet given in their honor. It is unlike President Arthur to blander on a point of etiquette. He is almost always sure to do the right thing in this regard; but his tastes are qu et, he is surfeited with pomp and vanities, aud th drafts upon his time are frequent and imperious. Besides he may have been tired aDd indisposed, for he succumbed to hia inclinations and Went instead on a moonlight eicarsion down the Potomac. The President looked remarkably well on Wednesday, as he stood the centrael figure of the banner draped stand watching the procession pass by. He wore a black frock coat buttoued nearly to the throat, white kid gloves, and tall silk hat, which he removed and held in his hand as each division of the parade reached the stand. The tip of a dark blue silk handkerchief peered from the breast pocket of his coat, exactly matching his cravat in shade. His hair is silvering rapidly sot, and his mustache is nearly white, but he shows no other traces of being a careencumbered man. The grand stand was occupied by a large and distinguished party. Amocg others. I noticed Attorney General Crewslel quietly observant of what was taking place, and Secretary Lincoln with bis di'iilied bearing and thoughtful, handsome face. General fcherman was conspicuous in his uniform, was talkative, and looked ruddy and vigorous. Secretaries Teller, Frelinghuysen, and Postmaster General Gresham were there, and half a dozen foreign ministers. The even tenor of the Star Route trial was disturbed the other day by a crank of a lawyer, by tbe name of Kogland. appearing in the ante-room of the Court in the garb of a Fejee Islander, aud shouting ia behalf of the deieodants, "They are not guilty." He had dolled his clothing in the vestibule, and but for the prompt action of the marshals would in a mement more have been in the Court room in a perfectly nude state. The ladies präsent, learning what had occurred, hastened to sea pe. Iljglaad afterward made his way back to the Court room sind threatened to shcot Judge Wylie and others, but eluded the pursuit of oificers, and turned up Thursday night in Haiti more, where he was ar rested. Coinel Bob Ingersoll is now making the closing argaouent for the defense, and the tedious Koute trial will soon come to an end. The names mentioned as most'favored by the President for the Comraisainiierahipof Internal I'.evenue ara Silas Datcher, of New "York. A. P. Tutton, :or Pennsylvania, and Deputy Commissioner Hogers. The appointitcnt will proba'oly be made to-day. There are many visitors ia the city now, end last week there were more. Besides the old soldiers, many of whom brought their families, the Jockey dab races brought many sporting men t the city, wlo made their headquarters at the National and St. Jamc-e, whiie the military are quarterei at the lliggs House and the Ebbiit Several lsrre excursion parties from neighboring ci ties visited AVasnington last weeu, and at the White House the average of daily visitors was f rem r to .00, a larger number than atary previous season. Postmaster General GroshEm hss signified his intention of makirg a number of changes in the clerical force of the I'ostoitice Department before theend of the present fiscal year. He proposes to remove s.:ue ot the cider employ es and fill their places with younger and more viperous men. In cass where the old clerks can ptrfcrm liht, easy work they will probably be retained at reduced salaries. THO&IA.4 JtFH.KSO.N-.S XtiK.

of the Treasury DeparlmenL It was at thi time theyherman civil service trainins school was in full bhut, when French, Upton, Lamphere, Pitrty and their confederates were gomx it with a free rein. Thee gentlemen wm'fd cojies, toe, and forthwith they 8 ;t tbe shop at work turning them out by the dozen. In the testimony taken by tbe Senate Committee which investigated John Sherman's operations in the Department, the desk ligures frequently. Accordir.j to the ri collection ot the workmen in tht Treasury Department shop, testifying with extreme reluctance, and more disposed to keep back the truth than to let it out, fifty copies of the "precioua relic" were made, and were distributed chiefly among the Sherman crowd. Takiag up the book, which Sherman tried so hard to suppress, one will find some thing about the matter almost anywhere. For instance, on page 32ü, Mr. Frank R. Hessler being on the stand and Senator Cockrell the examiner, the testimony runs aa follows: Q. Do you know anything about those Jefferson desks? A. I made those, and I made these (or tbe Iepartment by order of tue Department. Q. flow many of them did you make? A. I do not rem ember the exact number, but I must have made about ten, in that neighborhood. i- By wIiom order or direction? A. Some by Mr, FULey'a orders and some by the Asbktaut Secretary's orders. Q.-What Assistant Secretary? A. Judse French. On page 04, John F. Deges testifies as follows: Q. Do yon Vnoir auytMng aboat the JefTerson dek9 that were made in the cabinet shop imitatiens? A. Yes, sir. Q. How many of them were made? A. I saw at one time. I think, four or five; at another time four or Bve; but the exact number I can't sav.

Tbe precious relic was scattered around promiamonsly, Jndge French, the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, taking the lead in the business. It is in evidence that one man would make a single desk in about three days. The workman were paid $3 a day. Tbe material wasroshogany. The trimming cost something. Then came the dresin?, vanishing, etc. So each desk cost about fl.r. The witness said one man "inigut," nicke a desk in three days. Each desk might have cost eix days work. The presumption was that way. If each desk cost no mo e thttu $do. .he work for French, Upton, Power, Iismphe:e, Pitney & Co. cost the Government $7-r0 It may have been twice that amount, Whatever the sum was, it is certain that French it Co. had no more right or authority to the desks then they had to an equal number of gold pieces in the l.mMiry vault. UptoT. Power, Lamphere and Titney are out of otrice. Judge French is still the Assiiiant Secretary ot the Treasury. Frequently he is the Acin Secretary of the Treasury.

Peelle: The law by which you imposed an incroesed duty on imported strbloom3 bears harder upon the steehxail mills of the West than I thought when I wrote you last. I have been informed by a railroad builder that he caa buy steel iail3 of the Pennsylvania monopoly or per ton. The increased tax whivh ycu put upen blooms, simply to favor that moaopoly, makes the blooms cost in the yard of our rail mill here in Indianapolis $H7 per ton. I spent au hour recently in going through that mill, which has been put in rum: inu order at an expense cf several hundred thousand dollars. The ponderous machinery is in splendid condition, skilled workmen are ready for strvice, there is a home market for steel rails, but your law says not a rail shall be rolled in Indianapolis. Our lltpublican National platform of 1830 says: We reaffirm the belief avowed ia 1875 that the duties levied tor the purpose of revenue, should 0 discriminate as to favor American labor. Is the labor employed in Johnstown, Pa., American lsbor, and the labor seeking employment in an Indianapolis rail mill foroia labor? It would seem so, for you have dciirer.-ite'.y shut our Indiana mills and have toid railicad buKders to go to Pennsylvania hi:d i- v t)ic-r raiL.

Whatever hapj iusto ir.di.inaor other parts of the country, you will observe that, thete gentlemen &o manipulate every tariff enactment that it puts mere money into the plethoric pockets of their cot;:tit;ier.ts at the expense of the public.

beetroot augur. Hooeiera were told by this statesman that the soil and climate of Indiana were unfit for the cultivation of wheit; that Texas, Georgia and Minnesota were better wheat States, and that the only coarse left for our faiaie;a was to raise beets, con vnt them into supar and trade the sugar for Pennsylvania window glass, Ehingle nails, etc. This is the statesman who frames the tari IT measure for which you and your colleagues vote. lie it was who directed you to vole for a duty on stec 1 tilocms which closes the steel rail mills in Indiana and elsewhere and you obeyed him. What is most needed in our party now is a spirit of resistance to this tryanny. We are tired of seeing sensible Senators and Congressmen led about by the cose to do the bidding of such men. You know they care nothing for the party unless it serves their selfish purposes. Senator Conger threatened to oppose the party if it put timber on the free 'list. Senator Sherman threatened to defeat the whole tarilF legislation of last session unless the Senate obeyed the commands of tbe iron maa'vrs, and the party basely knuckled to such insolence. I say I am tired of it, and others are getting tired. The phrase "protection for American labor," sounds well, but it is very hollow if our tariff laws are to be looked to as an indication of its meaning. What I am trying ti thowyou is that such legielatita as we j. s considering is oppressive and not protective. Ita etl'ecta upon the shoemakers of this country are curious and instructive. The world knows that American shoemakers are the best in the world. Their wares are exvortedin large quantities. Bythetaritr law you have shut them out of some of the bett markets of the world, and have enabled their foreign competitors to undersell them. This is how it came about. In warm countries, in South America and elsewhere, there is a large demand for shoes made of light stock. Our native leathers are too heavy frr them and it is necessary to import the material used by our shoemakers in manufacturing the goods for this trade. What have you done? You tax serges and lastiDgs 85 per cent. Tou tax kid skins Z per cent. The cottons, nails, tacks, buttons and thread used iu making the shoe3 are taxed, and the iron used in making the machinery necessary for shoemaking is also heavily taxed. Now it is easy to see that foreign manufacturers of shoes who get these materials free of duty are enabled to undersell American shoemakers, or compel them to sll for such prices as require them to reduce the . daily wages of American workmen. Mr. Howard M. Newhall, a shoe manufacturer of Lynn, Mass., stated to a Committee of the Legislature of that state last winter, that: "A removal of duty from all articlesised in the manufacture of a shoe, would be an advantage to the employer and employed; it is hardly necessary to say that to lessen the cost of shoemaking material will, also benefit home consumers, who would get shoes at lower prices than they now pay. So, little by little, I am trying to show you the hypocrisy of the pretense of protection by men who frame laws which oppress American manufacturers, laborers and consumers. When you protect anybody it is some giant home monopoly or the proprietors of foreign industries who are crippling our foreign commerce. W. P. FlSHBACK. TAI1LE GOSSIP.

IL Schesck: Dear SirI have been cured cf what three cf the best physicians of this city toll me was Consumption of the hirgs, by the ose of your medicines. I was first attacked with the disease .in Oc. tober, and although I was from that time continually under the care f a physician, I freT v.-orse and worse until at last I was confined to my bed. I can hardly say that I was first attacked with the disease in i83o, for oy kings had been weak for many years previous to this, and I would quite often have severe pain in my breast if 1 took the least cold or exerted myself too much in any way. I grew worse, my cough became very bad ; I had night sweats so severe that my bed through the night would be as wet as though water had been thrown over me. I was continually raising b'tood and larje quantities cf offensive matter lrom mv lungs, and at last had all the well-kaowfl symptoms of Consumption in its last stages. At the request c-f my famuy, my pTiysician called in two other doctors of this city, aad they after an examination agreed that my case was hopeless. They informed my wiie that I had better be told that I could not live, as my time would be very short for arraneinff my workily affairs. They alj said that no medicine would be of any use to me. The next day my friend, Mr. A. I. Leith, hearing of my condition, sent me a bottle of your Pulmonic c,,,n think uif nicht relieve mv eoufh and make my expectoration easier. I began sing rt, never even hoping that it would cure mc, but find ing great relief from its use, when tbe first bottle was gone I sent and got more ; o I continued ua til I had used seven or eight bottles. AU this time 1 was in bei and was so weak that I bad to ba lifted. Thia was not a diiTicult thrnff to do, however, as I only weighed about c-i pounds. As I have said, I commenced tbe use of your medicine with no thought of its coring me, but after taking the eighth bottle I would eometimes feel a htua hungry, a thing I had not before done for many months. 1 omitted to mention that after taking four or S re bottles of the Pulmonic Syrup, I also began taking the Seaweed Tonic, and I alsa took ' some of the Mandrake Tills.

I took many things that were recommended for co!Js, hut r.otring seemed to relive me. 1 made pailons ot siruysi with matr different kind s of herbs; still I goi no better.

I consulted physicians, who said my condition was a very bad one and gave five d t Me 'cnt cough syrups and tooicv from which I received no benefit, but seemed to grow worse and kept lo;-ng tlesh and strength, i had night sweats, and sweat most of the time 3uring the day. I coughed and raised blood and a salt, foamy phlegm; my throat was filled with ulcers. I could hardly swallow; sometimes I could not speaic a loud word for weeks; my lungs grew more peiaful every day with difficult brcathisg.w hi'.e pleutsr pains aould almost stop my breath. I had coltc paios. sour storaaeh, aad vom:tir.g :r everything I ate. My whole body wai filled with pain. I could not lie down, but bad to recline in a sitting posture to breathe. I gave up aid did not think cf ever getting up again, as it was hard rnsvinc myself: my feet and ankles began to swell badly, and my hips bed givcu out lon before. In tras sinking condition. I thought 1 would try volt remedy for ConjuEption; it nr.g'it do me some good; it could do me no harm, for I was ccrtiia X could not live a month longer the way I was. Ai that rme, May, 1378, 1 procured your Pulraoaic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Pills, and 'took them as directed. In a weck I was better and began to throw off from tbe lungs a greenish-yellow matter streaked with blood, could eat a little without throwing it up, the pains in my sides were not ao severe; 1 could sleep an hour very soundly, and that was hat I had not done for three months. Itook your medicines steadily six month: nr cough got better, I did cot sweat so bad nights, kept gaining slowly, and in a year after I begaa your medicines I couid say I felt well.
