EeraoTlng Apple Blassoma. v Last year being ths even and abundant ear for the apple crop, and especially so With the Ealdwia, the trees in a small orchard, says the Conntry Gentleman, were yarly all profusely filled with blossoms with ' be exception of a few which bear odd years. A s had all the blossoms sheared from three es which were particularly abundant in Vom, and these trees, of course, bore no .rait last season, while others were loaded. Vow, at the present time of writing (May f'9), the three sheared trees are fall of blos1 tms, while all the others about them are Jestitute, These trees being large, or some kfteeen years old, two or three hours or more ?ere required to shear each tree, which was f Cected by using sheep shears and a shert adder. If tbe operation had been perTmed whea the trees were small aad 1 begun to bear email crops, the labor Laid ba?e been slight, aad the probability uld have been greater of the chanre the vear remaininz permament. This mark may prove a valuable suggestion jl those who have youDg orchards ;. the early years of their bearing, and who fish to have early crops in both seasons.

There will be no danger in the oonfomptic n cf the apples, as the small quantity o! the poion which lodges on each specimen with such a large dilation of water, whila fatal to the miaute young worm, would not effect a human being at all. and besides it will be all warberJ off by rainoa before the apples are ripe, as has been aboadantiy proved by experiment.

I Philadelphia Keoord.J There is always a ready sale forearly chicks, the prices this season for those intended ai broilers (weighing about one pound) ranging from forty to eignty cents; but such sizes am only in demand in the early part of the setton, those weighing about two pounds each beiDC more desirable dnring the summer. About the 1st of May is the period for broilers, or about "asparagus time," as the farmers express it; but at all times fowls bring good prices. There are several points to be observed in raising fowls, the profit being more or less according to the method of breeding. Much depends upon the kind of fowl used. The Brahma is one of tbe best we have for geaeral purposes, as that breed grows to a large sizs, lays 'well, and is hardy, but while it possesses many good qualities, it ia unfit for producing broilers, as it ia "leggy" when very young aad does cot readily fatten until it is a early matured. A cioss of the Leghorn on the Brahma is one cf the bast that csa be made if early pallets are to be kept for laying in the fall, as such a cross combines the qalck growth of the Leghorn with the sizs, vigor aad hardiness of the Brahma, and the broilers so produced, though a little slower in reaching the proper weight, are fine-boned, plana and attractive in appearance, possessing rich, yellow skins and legs. In crossing Leghorns with the large breeds uniforsaity of color can be secured by mating brown Leghorn cocks with partridge Cochin or dark Brahma hens, or white Laghorn cocks with light Brahma or white Cochin heas. Of the pare breeds there is nothing that can compare with the Plymouth Rocks for producing the most salable chicks up to ths age of three months, and ths younger ones as broilers are excellent. Being very hardy, gocd foragers and active, they grow fast aad make a plump carcass. The Americaa Sebright (Wyanaotte) rivals the Plyaionth Kock in all qualities except hardiness, and have yellow legs at every stage of growth, while the legs of Plymoata Rock pullets are dark, turning yellow afterward. The only objection to them is that, being a new breed, they are at the press at time too closely bred. The Langiban, a new breed, is as Viae in plurrage, size, laying qualities and flesh as one woald wish; but, having dark legs, many buyers object to them. The ohjectioa, however, is owing to a time-hoaored prejudice, for the Langshan and Houdan (a dark-legged fowl) are superior for the table to nearly all the yeJlow-legged breeds. A cross cf the game with the larg breeds gives a fowl witn fuller breast and finer bone, which should be encouraged, aj the smaller the amount of offl ths better the quality. For market chicks, therefore, the broilers should come from the Leghorn-Brahma cross, the larger sizes from the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Houiaas and Langshans, while the adults should be produced from Brahmas or Cochins crossed with the Plymouth Rock or Houdan. Tne best capons are a cross of the colored Dorking and dark Brahma, and the largest fowl are usually a cross of the Houdan and Ershtua the first season, and the prod ace mated with Plymouth Rocks the second ssascr, Black Spanish, Ilambargs and rolish, thongh excellent layers, are inferior as market chicks. If success is desired breeders should be careful In selecting the breeds most suitable, es it is more important than any othe - 'eature in tie management Household Kaowledge To remove dandruff from the scalp a pint of alcohol in which two tablespoon ul of salt has been dissolved makes a very satisfactory

wash. This recipe for chicken croquettes come3 from the notebook of a cook of Ions experi- j ence: Chop the white meat of a boiled 1 chicken very fine. Add a well beaten egg i and a spoonful of flour, a little salt and a te aenpful of cream stirwd in with the chicken. Let this simmer on the back part of the stove for a few minutes, stirrinz it constantly to keep the cream from scorching. When the batter has thickened to about the consistency of custard pour from the saucepan into a shallow pan or dish to cool. When cold and stiff fashion it in balls or flat cakes, dip in egg batter and in bread or cracker crumbs and fry in hot lard. Loir Caik. Two quarts of sugar, seven cupfuls of butter, six quarts of sifted Hour, tix pounds of fruit, one pint of wine, one pint cf yeast, eight nutmegs, mace, twelve eggs, one quart of milk. It should be made at such an hour (being governed by the weather) as will give it time to get perfectly light by eveniDg, It should stand about six hours in summer and eight in winter. Put in half the batter and eggs, and the milk, flavor and yeast, and beat thoroughly. In the evening add the remainder of the butter, rubbing it with the sugar, the rest of the eggs and the spice. Let the cake rise again until morning; then add the fruit. Put in deep pans, and let rise about half an hoar. Bake from two to three hours in a slow oven. Fish Omklet. Beat, up three fresh eggs with a quantity, equal to an egg in bnlk, ef the flesh of boiled salmon, sbreded finely with t fork, a pinch of minced parsley, pepper, salt, and half a dozen bits of butter the size of a pea. Put a piece of butter the size of an egg into the pan, let it melt without browning, aad as ?oon as it is melted and bot pour in your omelet mixture, and holding the handle of the pan in once hand stir the omelet with the other by means of a flat spoon. The moment it begins to set cease stirring, tut keep shaking the pan for a minute or so; th,en with tne ladle or spoon double np your omelet, and keep on shaking the pan until one side has become a golden color, when you dextrously turn it out on a hot dish, the colored side uppermost. An orange basket or a plate of orange baskets makes a handsoaae decoration for the table, particularly for a birthday party or a fceliday meal. Take the fruit from the peel throueh as f mall an incision as it Is posiMe to make and yet to draw the fruit through it; then cut the skin of the orange into the shape of a little basket, with a handle. This may be filled wilh candy, with ice-cream. wbipned cream, jelly (wine jelly witn car

rant jelly on the top looks pretty), or with anything yon choose. Tbe imit is not to b wasted by any means; it may ba used for an orange pie, for marmalade or for ambrosia that is, cut in email pieces end pat into a dish a laer of cocoannt and powde.-ed sugar between each layer of orange. This is very delicate for dessert with iee-cream and cake. Read this and find a new and approred way f making cocoa-nut padding. It is a 6itable coacluaion to a most elaborate dinner. Beat two efocs very light, atir them ia with a ccfe-cup full of fresh milk, aad one quarter of a poand of grated cocoa-nut, three taalespoonfuls each of grated bread and powdered sugar, two tables poonfuls of melted butter, one cupful of raisins and the grated peel of one Jemon. Beat all nntil well mixed. Butter the bottom and aides of a cold pudding dish and pour tbe mixture in. Bake slowly for an hour, then turn it oat on a platter, scatter powdered sugar over it and serve with or without fruit Orasges cat up are very nice with it The pudding dish should be cold when buttered so that more butter a ill adhere to it, and then the padding will turn out smoothly. Criam a la Vkb8ailli3. One qnart of milk, half a cupful of sugar, half a teaspoonful of vanilla extract half a teaspoonful of salt, seven eggs, two tablespoon! als of water. Put the sugar in a email frying-paa and stir until a very light brown. Add the water, stir a moment longer, and mix with the milk. Beat the eggs and salt with a spoon. Add this mixture Jand the vanilla to the milk. Butter a two-quart charlotte russe mold ligtly, and put the custard in it Pat the mold into a basin of warm (not hot) water and bake slowly until the custard is firm in the center. It should take forty minutes; but if the oven is quite hot it will be done in thirty minutes. Test by patting a knife dawn into the center, for if the castard is not milky, it is done. Set way in a cold place until serving time. It must bs ice-cold when eatea. Turn out on a flat dish and pour caramel seed over it Rhubarb aisd Rick. One ef the most wholesome dishes for children at this season is composed of rhubarb and rice. Rhubarb, josttow, is the only seasonable substitute .ior oranges, waich have been plentiful, and it is impossible to overrate its value in early fpring. To ptepare, taae a bundle of rhubarb, four ounces of rice, one and one-half pounds of loaf sugar, one pint of milk aad two drops of essence of lemon or vanilla; wash and pick the rice and drop it into tha milk which mnet be boiling, and four ounces of loaf sugar and the vanilla; boil until tbe rice is tender, then remove from the lira and let it get cold; trim tbe rhubarb, cut it into one inch pieces and stew them in a small quantity of water until thoroughly cooked, when the juice from the rhubarb should be poured into another stewpan, with onequarter of a pound of sugar and one-half a pint of water to boil for eight or ten minutes, strain it and pour over the rhubarb; Eet it away to get cold, and when -needed reive in the center of a dish with the rice around it. farm ITotea. There is a grade of wheat in Oregon known as Goose wheat so called because it originated from a few grains found in the crop of a wildgcose. The wheat has a hard outer hook, and the bran is very coarse; it makes a peculiar grade of flour. Its exact duplicate is found in a small province of Spain, and the inference is that the wild goes 9 mast make pretty rapid time. The following rules for estimating the amount of hay in a stack will ' be found approximately correct: In stack, timothy, after ten days or two weeJrV settling, X) cubic feet to the ton; clover, "Of, and prairie bey 550 feet After thcrongh settling about oOO cubic fett of timothy, 550 of clover, and 450 of prairie hay. To pet the cubic dimensions of a stack, multiply the average length, breadth and height together. Secretary Fisher, of the Illinois Department of Agriculture, lately received from Colonel John Lynch, of Olney, Illinois, several stools of wheat damaged by the new wheat insect the wheat bulb-worm. On the ramples were found specimens of this insect in various stages of development some having as many as live active little fellows at work sapping the life from the plant The epg is brown and looks much like that of tha Ilet&ian fly. Professor Forbes, the State Entomologist

for Illinois, has been at Anna, examining the depredations of a newly discovered enemy to the strawberry. It is known usually as the tarnished plant bug ( Lygus I Jneolorris), an insect well known for years, and which abounds everywhere, -but not heretofore known to injure the strawberry. The destructiveness of the little pest is wonderf al. It has cut the berry crop short two-thirds. It sucks the juice of the young berries and prevents them filling oat Clover seed has retailed at the enormous price of $9 per bushel this spring, and scarce at that figure. It is strange more of our farmers do not make this a farm crop. The first growth can be cut in June before ths middle of the month, and when well cared Jor makes the best of feed. The second or feed en p can be cut with a dropper or self rake reaper during the first half of September before the fall rains set in. or as soon as the clover heads are one-half browned. Three to four bushels ef seed is a fair crop per acre here, worth aboat $20, which, aided to the value of the hay or first crop, will pay the farmer well, say a total of abbout$10 per acre. Twenty to ferry acres at this rate will bring in enough money to permit the farmer to buy a clover huller. Hop plants can be used for various purposes. Thus, the wires or twigs are of service for basket or wicker werk.aud the leaves furnish food for larm stock and sheep; from the tendrils a vegetable wax ia obtained, and from their juice a coloring matter. The young roots, too, are eaten, tasting when oiled, like aspargus, and when bleached they can be made into strong paper and card-bcard; from their liber ia Sweden yarn and linen are spun, and the ashes are used by the makers of Bohemian glass; while from the flowers, which jive an agreeably bitter fast to beer, a tincture is derived and a medicinal extract; and a pillow. filled with hops, will often cause sleep, and is a great specific with old country dames. Many persons overstock their pastures, and the animals fail to gain as much as they would with a better range. During May and June the grass seems so abundant they purchase more stock to keep down the growth, and the result is the cattle during Angnst and September frequently gain nothing The farmer must recollect that he can not depend upon much growth of any grass except rod clover from the middle of July until fall rains set in. With plenty of rain in the latter part of summer the grasses do not grow half as fast as during May and June. These things must be considered by the breeder of cattle if he expects the largest gain in weight, and his pastures must be at all times such that the cattle can readily and quickly fiad sufficient grass. Timothy Wilson in New York Tribune. The eoja bean is a new agricultural plant that has been grown for some years In Austria and Hungary, b3th as a foroge plant and a vegetable. It resembles lomewhat a bean; the stems are stiff and hairy, as are the leaves; the pods are produced in bunches of from two to five, and contain each from two to four smooth, oval nankin-colored seeds. Tha latter, which are produced in great abundance, pronounced by chemists to be the richest of all human food, may be use! as food for mankind as well as for beasts, and the straw is eaten by sheep and cattle. Sown early in May, in any good soil, in rows twelve or fifteen inches distant it ripens in Angust, and stands well heat and drouth. Forty-five pounds are reported from one pornd cf seed; all kinds of stock like it as well as pe8s, while sheep and cattle relish the straw even better than hay. Southern Industries. All vegetables that are grown for their leaves or stems require an abundance of nitrogenous manures, and it is useless to atte Bipt vegetable gardening without. To this rlats belong cabbage, lettuce, spinach, etc. The other class, which is grown principally for its seeds tr pods, as beans, peas, etc., does

sot require much ir.ar.r.re of thn charictJ"; ! in fact the plants ae injured by It j causes too great a growth o sttm and lea', .

and in the earlme a great airu m vegt-, ble growing is injrionvly afiVctu. Mineral manure, as wo J a-ha, ro:)edust, etc , are mnch better for them. For vegtabita reiuirine rich stable manure it is btst that tbey have it well rot'ed and decayed. Nothing has as yet ben found s well fitted for the purpose aa old hot-bed dat.g, though :o the imt 11 no trace of ammonia remains in it.- Gardener's Monthly. Hoeing and the frequent stirring of the surface of the soil are good substitutes for rain. Those parts of the garden that are in s frtquently cultivated ehow the best results. It is probable that corn, watermelons, tcmatoea. Limn beans, and cabbage, and p Jssibiy Other plants, if well started in good, deep soil, may go through a two-months drouth without very mach serious damage. A deep, well-manured soil suffers much less than a ehallow soil. Subsoiling and manure are, to a certain extent, nubstitures for rain. Moisture comes from below. Underdraioiug is also a safeguard against drouth. The course of drains in the garden can easily be marked in a dry season by ths ranker growth of vege'ation above them. Irrigation in raanj parts of tbe North will pay. The soil, if well prepared, could use to good advantage twite the quantity of water it receives from rains dar ing the dry months tf summer. Farmers Majazine. I wish to say to the correaponleut wb ) asks about liquid manure for his lawn th t he bas just what he wants for a small lawn in urine. The effect is speedy and never-failing. In a week or ten daya after the application the grass will bfgin to darken and increase its growth and thicken on the ground, ti e growth continuing live cr six wesks where a moderate quantity say at the rate of a gallon to seventy square feet is given. If a heavier application is made tbe growth will be increased and its duratioa extended. Where there is a fair coat of grass tbe light application will sußee. J apply the urine (with a watering-pot) in a diluted form, one fallon of urine to two ga'lons of water, folowed by an equal cr greater quantity of water to wash it into the soil. By giving a fall sprinkling, rich verdure can be maintained till winter, with an early good start in the spring. There is no more effective manure than urine, whether used fresh or after fermentation. Correspondence Country Gentleman. Dr. Sturtevant has found by experiment that the amount of fat and batter from milk depends not on the carbon in the food, as might be supposed, but on its nitronenons elements. As fat or butter is carbon, and not nitrogen, this result is sirpnsing. Bat it should be remembered that when highly carboa aceous foods, as corn or oil meal, are given to cows, much of the extra fat goes to improve the cow's condition, and is not found in the milk pail. There is, however, a great difference in cowb in this respect Competent authorities who have made a life study of this matter, like Professor Arnold, assert that the bulk of the butter fats is derived from vegetable matter, while the lesser elements, as mentioned, along with others which compose the flavor, aroma and the like, are of animal origin, and though not existing as fats, yet when brought in combination with the oils that comprise butter fat, such as glycerine, palmitine, etc., they aro changed, and become, in appearance, at least, fats. A writer in thj Fruit Recorder says there is no necessity for breeding currant worms. This is done by leaving bushes untrimmed. the worms always attacking the new growth first He says: "My plan is this: In starting a currant patch I confine the bush not to exceed from one to three main stems, and give all the strength of the root to their support As hinted above sprouts will start from the roots each spring; but tbey must be rubbed off when about six inches long. All currant growers are aware that worms first ranke iheir appearance on a new growth aid then spread over the bush. Consequently no sprouts, no worms. This is just as plain as that two and two make four. I have followed tt is plan for the past two yearj to my satisfaction, and have barely seen the effects of worms on one or two bushes where my plan was not fully carried out Bat such currants I never saw grow, the common red Datc'a being nearly twice as large as the cherry currant and a better bearer. I had aVew bushe; that actually broke down from their load of fruit" THE TARIFF. The Protectionist Humbug Cry of British Gold." New York Herald, Ind.l The extreme protectionists in this country have either run out of ammunition or they are' feeling the debilitating influences of spring, for they have started anew the wellworn but very 6illy cry of "British gold." The theory that t.ll prominent writers aad speakers who urge revenue reform are paid for their work by- money sent here from England for corrupting purposes, of coarse is not one that any intelligent man ever believed in for a moment; bat as the masses, particularly tho dear working people, for whom the hearts of all extreme protectionists beat, unselfishly and all the time, are Supposed by some people to believe whatever is told them, the "British gold" fiction is reissued every little while in large edition. SerionBly, if British manufacturers as a body were not the .most competent men in the world to take care of personal earning?, what could tBey expect to get were they to Bend a corruption fund to the United suteV.' If it were not for our protection tariff English ships and English sailors could not be our ocean carriers. Our protection tariff enables fingland to monopolize the immense South American trade that should be controlled by the UnitedStates. Vre our manufacturers to compete at Rio, Valparaiso or Rcsario with the English, as soxe of them could do successfully and make money, the prices would be such aa to soaner or Inter make known at home how large are the profits on domestic manufacture?, and the information might severely injure protection theories at the poll8; so our merchants forego much foreign trade to save the home market and England, 3,000 miles further away, profits largely. Our protective tariff enables England to save for herself the trade of her rapidly growing colonies in Australia, much of which otherwise would come to us. Were our manufacturers compelled to depend entirely upon their own abilities instead of being helped at every turn by Government bounty, we would speedily become England's most formidable competitor in every market of the world. - England wants us to remain just as we are on the tariff, aa it excludea our manufactures from all foreign, ports and secures her a monopoly therein undisturbed by American competition. Our high tariff is vastly more useful and beneficial to Great Britain than a lower tariff would be. If we should adopt free trade we Ehould not only supply our own market with American manufactures, but cut England out of most of the foreiga markets aad ruin Ler. Our high tariff protects her. "The plan ot numbering the Italian laborers ca the West Shore Road," says the Kingston Freeman, "works like a charm. Finding it impossible to keep track of the men by their jaw-breaking names, the contractors concluded to number them. The number of each Italian is painted in plain figures on tbe seat of hla pantaloons. Before beginning work in the morning and at noon and agaia at night, the men are formed in line, and the fcremsn paws fa the rear of them and takes down each number, in order to ascertain who is present, as well as who is absent The plan is beneficial in two ways the men are easily recognized, and they are also kept from sitting down too much for fear of rubbing out the figures on the ' seats of their pantaloons." The leading question when Ja prominent politician dies: "Who will take his place?" There is no talk wasted on the dead man's eternal welfare. He is considered smart enough to fool Peter.

Mr. Sper-cer, who takes the part of Phineas Fletcher, Mr. W. A. McConnell, the manager, and two or three others, jumped from the 6tage after the dogs and tried to separate them. The orchestra had suddenly become deserted, the musicians having shot through the etnall dcors beneath the stage. Mr. Spencer had his hand severely bitten, but McConnell escaped without iajury. It was some time before the dogs coald be separated, as thev fought desperately. The dogs are large Siberian bloodhounds and they are usually taken care of by a negro who understands training them, but the negro stopped at Cincinnati, and the troupe came without hire.

I should have jumped sugar from eleven to eighteen cents per pound in a fortnight, but a Western wretch began making maple sugar from New Orleans molassa?, Indian meal and Lake Erie sand. It was, perhaps, a good thing for me, thoneh." "How?" "Why, I intended to make a corner on pickles in the fall, and if I had some one would surely have invented a basswood cucumber and cut the price dowu to fifty cents per barrel."

Hijh St. Consumption Cured. Dr. J. H. Schenck : Dear Sir My son has been cured of Consumption by the use of your medicines, and I wish to give you an account of his case. His sickness began with a heavy cold, which soon brought on a harsh, dry cough. This kept' him awake nights so much, that he became very weak from loss of sleep. Then he had night sweats, with great loss of flesh, pain in his lungs, and he frequently raised bloody matter from them. He was obliged to give up all work, and afterwards was contined to his room and bed for a long time, lie was advised to take cod liver oil, and did take several bottles, but this seemed to take away what little appetite he had, and make him worse general!)-. At last, from reading in the papers of the many cures you had made in serious iung diseases, we concluded to give your medicines a trial. He took the Pulmonic Syrup. Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills as you direct, and I believe that it is due to their use that my son Is now alive and well. He is now attending to his business as usual. Yours Respeetfullv. A.

Cleveland, Ohit Dr. Schenck: October ata, i8Sr. Dear Sir I have reason to know the value of your Remedies: the Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. I hare used them in my family for many years. They were first brought to my notice in iS6a. I was then very far gone with Disease of the Lungs, and had been given up by physicians to die. Mr. A. B. Gnflin, of Ravenna, Ohio, induced me to try your Medicinos, saying that they had cured him of Lung Diseast after he had been in as low a condition as myself. I con. sented to do so, as I had no other bope of being cured.

Yours Truly, D. J. RTKG, Foreman of I. K. ToplifTs shops, East Cleveland, Ohio. From nnry Morgan, Eq., f Spring field, Mass. Dr. J. H. Schenck: Dear Sir In the Winter of i Jo j, having been ia delicate health from weakness of the lungs for over two years, I took a heavy cold, which settled on my lungs and completely prostrated me. I had a very bad cough, which kept me awake nights and racked me so that I gradually wasted away until I did not weigh more thaa two-thirds my usual weight. I was at that time living at Chicopee, Mass., and I consulted the best physician ia that place, but they only gave me temporary relief. It was the opinion of all that I was fast going into Consumption, and I was advised by my friends to consult a prominent doctor of Boston. I aid so. but his remedies did not benefit me any, although 1 took them for a long time. I was very much discouraged, and thought there was no hope for my recovery. About tins time I happened to read your advertisement, and among those who testified to the benefit they had received from vour Medicines. I noticed the name of the Rev. fienry Morgan, ot Boston. Being personally acquainted with him, although no relation, I concluded to write to him, as I had some doubt about the genuineness of the letter. He answered my letter, savin? that it was all true, advising me to at least give your Medicines a trial, and he believed they would cure me if I was not too far gone. " I at once began using the Mandrake Pit's, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup, as directed by you on the printed wrappers, and I sooa saw a marked improvement in all my symptoms my coueh began to get better, my appetite improved, the soreness left my lungs, and I could see that I was gradually getting stronger everyday. I continued with the Medicines faithfully until I was entirely well, and although my business is one that is considered injurious to the lungs, (brass finisher) I have enjoyed good health ever since. I thoroughly believe in the curative properties of your remedies, not only from my own experience with them, but from the cures I have heard of their performing among my acquaintances, some of whom were very much worse than 1 was. You are at liberty to refer to me. and I vx.1 cheerfully answer letters from those who aro aimiharly afflicted. Yours Truly, HENRY MORGAN. No. 200 Carew St.. Springfield, Mi. From a Prominent Druggist of Eaton ltapids, Mich. Dr. J. H. Schenck.

Chronic Bronchitis Cured. Dr. J. II. Schenck. Dear Sik : Xinc years ago I was suffering with a severe bronchial affection, which reduced me very much in Ücih. I had a rvere couch, with hoarseness, and sometimes an ei.'ite loss ot voice. For several months 1 was cmp.iled to give up my work, and I was sick far over two years. All this time I was trying many remedies that were recommended to me by- my friends, but without any benefit. At hist, Mr. J S. Upton, of the firm cf Upton & Brown, Machinists, of Battle Creek, Mich., advised me to try vour medicines, at the fume time telling me that it had cured him of a serious affection of the lungs, after spending hundreds of dollars with phici:.ns without bcne"t. I took his advice and bouyht some of vour medicines of Schuvler Bros., druggists, of this place. The first bottle gave me great relief, and alter using several bcttlcs, was entirely cured. My cure, I am satisfied, is permanent, as I have had no ieturn of the disease.
