The Ilailroad vs. the Breeding Interest No one will at this Jay question the assertion that the introduction of pure-bred sto.'k on a farm or into a neighborhood is almost er tain to result in material pood to the people of that neighborhood and, indirectly, to many otheri. The direct benefit derived by the owner of the animals 13 an important matter, but the indirect benefit which onie9 to the publio is greater and reaches further. lie who introduces into a district a bull of improved and valuable breed sots a. exau:ple which will in time be followed by many, although SO rue time may tas before his example will be followed by even one of hisneiehbors It is not unlikely that the enterprising breeder mill become a mark for the jibes and jokes of his acquaintances, and their opposition may take a iue determined and vigorous form: but bis example will surely be a force which will move tho'-e within its reach. The history of every pure breed of domestic animals in this country is full of proof of the correctness of this assertion. The effects f a persistent determination on the part of breeders are seen in the records of the Herefords of this country To win for this breed an established and an honorabl place many years of patient and most detenniued work were required. The result has been made Tery apparent at the Fat-.Stock Show jubt held in Chicago, where the representatives of the Hereford? have won mot of the victories really worth having. The dressed carcase of the Herefords have of the past fat stock-shows of this country been declared by th Judges to have been the best in the competition, and the Hereford may be safely said to now have earned and sects red a most honorable position. Vet but few years have passed sinco the cause f the Hereford was taken up for the Lrst time in this country. Scattered thron ch the country are many herds of pure Hereford which are now pointed to with pride where a few years ao a white face would have been received with derision. livery animal of pure breeding taken into a locality new to the breed to which it Wongs is doing pood missionary wort by leading those who have not done so to use animals of superior character for tie improvement of their stock. It is to be regretted that this lact is not more generally appreciated by those who have it in their power to help the good work of im proving the stock of the country. In the case of the railroad Companies this i3 especially desirable. ine present policy se ems to be to hinder rather than to promote the iniproveruent,ot the domestic annuals of the country. The charges made for carrying stock intended for breeding purposes are so bieh as to in many cases amount to somethin? like prohibition: yet it will not be denied that the uso of sires of good blood tends strongly and directly to increase the quantity of freight to be shipped over the railroads. He who uses a good bull can produce in two years bullocks of heavy weights; but the iuan who uses scrub bulla will need four years to accomplsh the life restilL Existing tariffs for the transportation of f.ne stock for breeding purposes are so high that in many cases they practically prohibit the movement of such stock. In very many more cases they serve to check the advance in the improvement of our domestic animals by discouraging those who are disposed to adopt the better way, but give up their half-formed determination because of the to them exorbitant demands raue by the railroad companies for carrying the needed sires. The matter has often been brought to the attention of the railroad companies, and there ia reason for believing that the Iowa roads will soon make material concessions for the encouragement of the breeders. It is to be hoped that the railroads of all the States will do the same. Hints on llog Killing. Skill and practice are needed to take oat the intestines neatly, without cutting or breaking them and soiling the flesh. . Run the knife lightly down marking the belly straight, cut to the bone between the thigln, and in front of the ribs and below, and split the rear bones with an ax carefully, not to cut beyond them; open the abdomen by running the hand or two ringers behind the knife with its edge turned outward. Little useof the knife is r quired to loosen the en trail?. The lingers, rightly used, will do most of the severing. Small, strong Btrings, cut in proper length-, should be always at hand to quickly tie the severed endj of any small intestines cut or broken by chance. An expert will catch the entire ollal in a large tin pan or wooden vessel, holding it between himself and the hog. Unskilled operators, and these opening very large hogs, need an assistant to hold this. The' entrails, and then the liver, heart, etc., being all removed, thoroughly rinse out any blood or tilth that oay have escaped inside. Spread the cut edges apart by inserting a short stick between them to admit Ireo circulation of cool air.' When dripping is er, or the hanging posts are wanted for other carcasses, remove the dressed ones, and hang them in a cool cellar or other safe place until the whole flesh is thoroughly cooled through. Or if, for convenience and rasier work, the carcasses are cut np before cooling, let all the pieces lie apart for at least half a day. Kemoving the lard from the long intestines, requires expertness that can only be learned by practice. The fingers do most of this cleaner, safer, and better than a knife. A light feed the night tefore killing leaves the intestines less distended and less likely to be broken. The Draft-Horse Interest In America. 4 In response to a toast given at the banquet during the time of the last Fat Stock flow in Chicago, Colonel Charles F. Mills presented some pertinent suggestions for the

consideration of breeders and of i mporteM of

draft horse?. "Yonr organization can do much, said Colonel Mills, ''to stimulate the American farmers to attain to a mucn nigner ue;ree of excellence in the breeding ofa superior type of hordes, which, in the want of a Detter name, we may call the bu-tiness-horse. This horse is the animal needed by the merchants in all great cities for the purpose of hauling heavy merchandise from and to the railroads and to the wharve. The business-horse mut have sufficient weight to move large load?, aDdsuch action and spirit as will insure a jtiii.k walk. .Such a horse is the result of the crossing of the wejl-brc-d drafthorse upm the common or native mares of the country "The toast you have given is 'The DraftHorse on the Farm.' The draft horse on the farm has more to do with tlie breeder than with the importer. The draft-hors- on the American farm is so scarce a commodity as to make neces-ary the hamiliatlne confession that breeding stables of this character are very tew and far between. Although thousands of stallions have been brought to this country, importers have brought scarce ly enonf-li nmres to stock a single gooa DreeUirp farm. The draft stallions brought to this country have been greatly needed, and too much credit can not be accorded for the incalculable benefit which has already resulted therefrom to the horse breeding interest. "As a matter of economy and common business prudence Americans can not afford to pay zuch a large annual tribute as they have teen paying to the breeders of drafthorses in Kurope. The National Norman Horse Association rati do much to encourage the importation of the bft draft-mares to be obtained on the other side of the Atmtic, and these, coupled with the stallions now in America, will soon enable our breeders to furnish better s:rrs than we now have for ex poitation to Europe. "The American breeder is not contt-nt un less he sees marked improvement .resulting from hi.s efforts. With good marcs, such as may be bought on the other side, there may soon uk : traiaousueu 111 mis tuumij t-uouu breeding farms to supply the home demand with stallions better than the majority of the sires imported. More credit isiue to the breeder of one superior stallion than is duo to the importer of many animals of equal merit. In the one case the value of the one good animal is retained in America to aid in the development of home industries; in the other case large sums are sent abroad to build up rival industries. "1 do net wish to say anything which will diconrace importers in the ellort to secure the best sires abroad for use upon our native mares, as years mast pass before the demand can be supplied. I tlo wish to especially em phasie the importance of having the major part of the pront.s which have resulted tro;n this lucrative business invested in well-bred mares cd great individual excellence. When each importer shall be engaged in breeding sires from a reasonable number of recorded draft-mares there will be enough draft-hors?s on Americans farms to arouxe enthusiasm in tl.c breeding of American draft-horses." Take Cure of lour Live Sto-lr. I American .Agriculturist. fioot. Furi-TER. It is absolute economy to provide warm and comfortable winter quar ters tor all live stock, with an ample supply of pure fresh air. When animals are boused in well-mude barns and tables, they require much less food to Keep them in a good condi tion. Lumber, in this form, is cheaper than hay and grain for wintering farm stok. Pure water in abundance is very neeitul for the health of the animal?. It sliou d be drank fr sli from the well. If left in the trough to fieeze it soon becomes as cold as ico water. and when taken into the animal system it requires much heat of the body to bring it up to the required temperature. Avoid as fcras possible having the watering troughs partly lilled with snow and ice. They may be made so as to turn over when not in use. anil this keeps them clean and free from the eliülirg ice. Live stock shouM be fed regularly. Even if not Kenerously fed. this regularity is bet ter than an excess for a tew days and then a ki k of food for a time. Animals are never contented when hungry, and they should not be permitted to thus become uneasy. The damage done bv one omitted feeding can not be made good by a double ration ing is quite sure to bring disorder into the Hock or stable. IIorifj. An idle team may bo wintered upon good bay alone, but when lightly worked a little grain at noon may be needed. lhey arc to be kept in cood health and llesh. and the amount of grain should ho governed accordingly. Horses doing heavy work will need a lew quarts of ground oats and corn daily, in addition to an abundance of the lust hay. Vounz colts should have excel lent care, for their future usefulness depends largely uron the growth they make the first winter. Linseed oil cake in small doses is one ot the best remedies tor costiveness in the young farm animals. Cows. As the weather becins to erow cold the cows will fall off in milk unless an abund ance of nutritious food is provided in the stallA ice s cut or pulped, and mixed with cut hay, to which corn meal is added, makes an excellent ration for milch cows. It is of the greatest importance to keep up the tlow of milk at the beginning of winter. Calves and yearlings may bo keep in roomy sheds where, with good feed and abundant litter. they will make a large amount of excellent manure before spring. Sheep should bo kept from the lambs, or they will crowd and rob the vounz stock. 2 he flock may take a run on the stubble fields during warm days. The ticks should all be killed before midwinter. Boys mav te paiu. oy ine uozen, lor picking thou oil me sneep. lireeuing ewes to have early mutton lambs, should be kept in a separate yard and shed, where they may have the most generous ieeaing. Ilints for Fnrniiihlng Farm Houses. Many farmers' wives and daughters have an instinctive sense of beauty in regard to the adornment of their homes," yet feel that iueir income is too uraiteu 10 uo anyiaing. But if they look around for what nature will freely suppy. they will be surprised at the transformation which can be easily wrought in rooms that before seemed dull and plain. Ferns gathered in "iitnmer, and leaves in autumn, pressed, and Tinned on the wall in irregular spravs. be inning at the cornice. look very graceful. It white tarleton. cost ing eighteen or twenty cents a yard, be cut in strips about half a yard wide and tacked over parlor and sitting room windows for lambrequins. On these pin some brilliant autumn leaves scattered here and there carelessly, with perhaps a border of ferns. and yon will be astonished at tne lairy-iike appearance presented. I remember gathering great quantities of ferns while staying one summer at a New England rural home, and the satirical remark of the farmer, that "he wished he could turn all the Philadelphia ladies loose into his field and have them pall up all the brakes.' " But even this practical man was impressed by the arrangement above descrioea. Housekeepers Measures. A great deal of poor food, especially cakes and other "recipe" preparations, is dne to inaccuracy of measuring. "A pinch" of salt or pepper, or other condiment, may mean tour times as mucn in one hand, as in another quite enough to entirely change the quality and flavor. Teaspoons, teacups and coffeecups now vary rreatly. The old standard teacup held just half a pint, or four to the quart, and the coffeccup three-quarters of a pint, or two and twothird cups to a quart; but on testing several cups now la rise we una that ot one pattern of teacups three. fill a quart; ot another it takes live, and of another six; while of coffeecups, two Of one set fill a quart, and of another it takes nearly tour. It would be a simple matter, and a great convenience, lor any Housekeeper to keep always at hand accurate measuring eins of earthenware or tin, Let A teacupful or a

With this at hand one is always able to measure off exact teaspocnfuls of anything. In giving medicine, such regularity of doses may mean recovery of lxalth. These classes can be bought at most druggists for 15 to 20 cents each. Draining Prolongs the Season. A case showing the utility of draining re cently occurred under our observation. A por'.ion of the lield, underlaid with clay and hard pan, that kept the water near the surface, was drained in the fall of 18 2. Crookneck squashes and other crops were planted in ltKS, about the middle 01 May, where the pround originally was so wet that it did not admit, of planting until June. Several hills of squashes were planted at a distance from the drain. while chance seeds uropteu 111 the mauure cane up within a few feet of another main drain. The trst week in December came a rold snap which killed the squash vines in the first location, lea vingla portion of the crop about hall-grown. I his and thesuose-i quent frosts of that month did not injure' the vines iitar the uram, and tney were still vigorous when the squashes were gathered in October, 'ihe same ir tluence in prolonging the season was noticed in the beet crop grown utKin the undramed land in 1S;2 and the same crop grown ill lüNv. The soil was so wet and muddy in the previous season, that the beet seed rotted and had to be planted three time, and after that many gaps were lilled with turnips. It was a very poor crop, in the past season the beet see'd came up fairly, the few vacant places were filled by transplantIn c, ar.d a line crop or mangolds and sugar beets was gathered. at much less cost of labor. This is very conclusive proof of the advantage of drain ing. It raises the temperature of the sou so tbat seeds will vegetate two or three weeks earlier in the spring, and it retains the summer heat so that damaging frosts are kept off several weeks in the autumn. Draining is of 8)et-ial service in raising the craps of tropical origin, as squashes, melons, toma toes, egg plant, jeppers, cjrn. etc. It is tte effectual cure of wet lands hi nil climates, and indispensable to the proiitable cultivation of all swamps and spongy lands in the northern portions of o.u country. It will add from four to six weeks to the length of the growing season, for many of the crops grown in the market gar den and upon the farm. Capital invested in tile draining is admitted to be anions the safe and best investments the farmer can make. A Thousand Clusters of i. rapes for One Dollar. fOiarge Judd, in American Agriculturist for Dece inner. And grown in a city, at that! Yes, and something more, also Year after year near ly, and for a third of a century, the. Ameri can Agriculturist has urged every one having a single square yard of soil, in village or city, as well as in the country, to plant a grape vine, and train it up against the house, on a post, on a trellis, along a fence or anywhere in the free, untaxed air and sunlight .Now for the Grapes Six erape vines, part Concordsand part Isabellas, were planted .several years ago, two under the high trellis, and two in each side bonier, oue near each end of the cross trellis, but back of it. and another ten feet further back. Th? vines are trained rearward, alon the top of the side trellises and fence, to near the back of the lot: also all over the upper part of the cross trellis. The two front side vines send arms along the fence to the side of the piazza, and up and across its front On one of these vines we have just counted 2fo" bunches of grapes, nearly all line ones, and the dwellers tell us "a great many have already been picked and eaten." A whole row of hanging clusters still fringes the upper front of the piazza; the cross trellis is black with them, and they abound by ti e bushel along the border trellises and fence. There are not less than 2,000 line bunches in all. The annual cost of having these vines trimmed and trained, and putting on a dressing ot bone dust. does not exceed $2, which is tenfold repaid by tne shade, and the green foliage to look out upon during ail the parching days. We might have headed thi: A thousand clusters of grapes for nothing!" This is a good year for grapes, but there is every year more than a large family can use. Ihe Application A grape vine will grow anywhere that it can get a small foot hold in a bit of sou ; it will run up on anything that its tendrils can cling to: it will help itself to sunlight and food from the air ana earth. If you have a yard of ground, plant a grape vine on it, in city, village or country. Do it now, or certainly next spring. Retter Than Hatter. W. D. Boy n ton, Esq., of Appleton, Wis., writes to the American . Agriculturist: "When a fanner is remote from markets which give fancy prices for fresh 'gilt-edge butter, does it pay to take the milk from the calves, hire extra help, neglect other important farm work, and take a day every little while to go to market? It seems to me that at twenty cents a pound for bolter the margin for profit is pretty small. In a lare. well equipped dairy handsome profits no doubt are realized, but not where one has only eight or ten cows. The early morning hours when he should be in the held, are occupied in milking nnd churning, and the time spent in marketing ouen compels neg lect of other farm work, resulting in serious loss. Would it not be more profitable to let the calves have the milk, and thereby double the value of the stock growi.? A large stock raiser of my acquaintance recently gave ita his cxperier.ee that one good cow would raise two calves, and tbat he propped to pursue that method altogether hereafter He gives the calves all the feed they can stand from the very first, and sells them for beef waen about fourteen months old, at which age they weigh about ä'O pound. At seven cent3 per pound, they bring him the nice little sum of tz.KoO. Hints on 1'oultry Raising. Mr. A. M. Halstead, an Eastern poultry rairer and the author ot a recent work on artificial incubation, gives tho following sug gestions on the location of a yard and the construction and arrangement of the buildings: In the first place, the site of the yard should be a dry situation, with a southern or southeastern slope. If on the bank of a lake or pond, well ;but a small running stream is pref erable. A rough piece of land, with some un derbrush and rocks, is not objectionable, un less the rocka are broken or piled np, so as to make a harbor for rata or weasels, borne un derbrush is desirable for shade. Curra.it bushes make good shade, and their fruit is good tor the fowls In the buildings to shelter the fowls it is better to have a number of small houses rather than one of large size for tbe breeding stock. A convenient as well as economical way is to build each house double, tbat is to shelter two yards of fowl. letting the dividing fence loin the bouse in the center. Houses twelve feet long by six feet wide will make two apartments, each large enough to accommodate fifty hens and four cocks, which are as many as should be kept together, ventilation must not be overlooked, aud in hot weather should be

ample. The yard for this nnmber of fowls fchould not be less than one-eighth of an acre, two-thirds of which should bo in grass; the remainder should be in bare earth and thould be plowed or spaded in alternate portions every week. A small shed, not necessarily over two or three feet high should be constructed, and under this prepare the dusting ground on find sand, wood ashes, and a little tobacco dust. In another part of the yard flace a trough or shallow box, in which eep a supply of fine gravel. In case, however, the soil of the yard is gravelly this is not necessary. In fencing the yards the height of fences will have to be regulated by the breed of fowls kept. The Asiatic fowls will stay inside of almost any sort of inclosure while the leghorns and other light-bodies fowls will readily fly over a fence six feet high. In addition to the building for the breeding

stock, there will be required a setting or hatching room, a nursery for the young chicks, which should be partially covered with class, and a second building into which they can be removed when five or six weeks old The size of these buildings is of course to be governed by the extent of the business. New Grapes. W. C. Baring. Secretary of the Native Fruit Committee of the Western New York Horticultural Society, has recently made a report on the behavior of certain varieties of grapes tested in that section last season. He says the lJidy Washington produced fine clusters in gl eatabun dance, but did not ripen as early as was exjected, neither was the quality of the fruit up to the anticipated standard. The Amber eueen proved a highly-flavored and delicious grape, but the fruit did not set so well as it should. The Üurnet was a fine. fruit, but the foliage appeared to be tender and the clusters not so Jarpe as could be desired. The Highland was a large, handsome grape, out tears were entertained that it would ripen too late for that climate. Of the Miner's seedings, tested the previous season, lie fays, after a second trial, not one in the lot is considered worthy of being retained. Tbeir names are as follows: Victoria, Rock ingham, Belinda, Antoinette. Eugenia, Lin den, Augusta, Ida, Harrison, Lexington and Carlotta. Prentiss was highly spoken of, while Itockland Favorite was considered no better than the Concord. If it is as good a grape as the Concord it is not wholly bad by anv means. Centennial is noted a new white grape of great promise. A.M1KEW JACKSON'S SEVSK. Why He Did Not Want to be Iiuried in a Roman Emperor's Collin. l'hiladelphia dispatch to New York Sun. 1 At the meeting of the Board of City Trusts. to-day, the report of Vice President Gregory, of Girard College, in regard to the sarcopha gus recently discovered in the cellar of the College was received and placed upon the minutes. The sarcophagus will remain in the College museum. It was presented to the College by Commodore i-.lliott in and when an investigation of the records of the Councils of this city was made recently the following letter irom Andrew Jackson was found, togetherwith Commodore E liot's letter, presenting him with the sarcophagus. In this letter the Commodore said: "I pray you, General, to live on in tho fear of the Lord. Jjvinc the death ot a Kornau soiuier, an Knijror'8 Coffin awaits you." The fol lowing was General Jackson a reply: " ith the wannest sensations that can inspire a grateful heart, 1 must decline accepting the honor intended to be bestowed. I can not consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King. My lie publica 11 feelings and princi ples forbid it.

It can only dwell with the people the great laboring and producing classes that form the bene and sinews of our Confederacy. I have nrenarcd an humble depository for mr mor tal body beside that wherein lies my beloved wife, where, without any pomp or parade, I have requested, when my God calls me to my Fathers, to be laid, for both of us there to remain until the last trumpet sounds to call the dead to judgment, when we, I hope, shall rise together clothed with that heavenly body promised to all who believe in our glorious Redeemer, who died lor us that we might live, and for whose atonement I hope for a blessed lmmortallity. Andrew JacKson." Professor Gregory's report gives a translation of the inscription on the sarco phagus, and says: "Ihe inscription translated is, Julia, the daughter of Cuius Mamma a, aged 30. Julia L'omna was the wife of the Emperor Septimius Severus. Her sister. Julia Ma-sa wield d great influence at court, and had a daughter. Julia Mammaa, born like the other Julias at Eniesa, in iSyria. But this tan not be the lady, as she was much older than thirty when she lost her life. It is reasonable to conclude that J ur.a (.ait Jrtlia mammn a, whose sarcophagus was found at Berytus. sixty miles from the Emperor's birthplace at Arce, and about 100 miles from bis mother's native town, was one of the objects of the imperial bounty of Alexander Severus." The date of the erection was probably 250 A.

Yieusse, principal medical officer of the medical hospital i.t Oran, states that excessive sweating of the feet, under whatever form it appears can be quickly cured by carefully conducted friction with the subnitrate of bismuth, and even in the few cases this suppresses the abundant sweating only temporarily it still removes the severe pain and the fetidity which often accompany the secretion. Dr." Yieusse has never found any ill consequences to follow the suppression of the sweating. A couple of Boston ians have invented a hoop-making machine which, it is said. makes from 20,000 to 30,000 half-round hoops a day. cutting two, three or four from a pole, as occasion requires. One of the results of the introduction of this new machine will be the utilization of ironwood saplings for hoops. This tongh and almost indestructible wood, which resists the tools of the cooper, is said to be bandied without difficulty by the Bostoa hoop-making machine. In many of the business houses of Varls, and especially in those of which the cellars are used as olhces. glass is now Dein? exten sively employed instead of boards for flooring. At the headquarters ot the Credit Lyonnais, on the Boulevard des Italiens, the whole of tbe ground floor is paved with large squares of roughened glass embedded in a strong iron frame, and "in the cellars beneath there is, even on doll days, sufficient light to enable tne clerks to work without gas. Dr. David Younjj, in the Practitioner, sums np his experience in administering quinine: 1. Never eive quinine in antipyretic doses when there is constipation or scanty secre tion. 2, In cas wluc U is being admißis-

tered, and an increase ef dose is desirable, this may be safely done if the skin, bowels, and kidneys maintain their normal functional activity. 3. In many cases of remittent and intermittent fever the combination of

the drug with cloride of ammonium or a salt cf potash or soda is likely to be more easily tolerated as well as more useful than if it be administered in a pure form. 4. During the administrrtion ot quinine should a headache come on or increase in intensity the case requires the most careful attention. "The Indian may dwell with the Caucasian for years, and live as the white lives, but on returning to his tribe he will fall into the habits of savage life and will prefer that life." Indian Agent Gardner said in an in terview with a reporter for the Denver Trib one, and he instanced Chipeta, the wife of the Colorado Chief Ouray. She had little communication with the whites, but her husband taught her to live as they do. Her house was well furnished, and provided with many conveniences that are luxuries in border life. She always had her cook, and her table was supplied with good food, well cooked, served in an elegant platter, and eaten with knives, forks and spoon. Ouray died in 1880. About a year ago Chipeta married again, and returned to the old ways of her childhood among her trioe. She has three trunks full of valuables stored away in the agency storehouse. One of them is failed with silverware presented to her by the ladies in the City of Washington. For these she has no use. TKESIDEXT IU'CIIANAX. Kin Loyalty and His Silent Deed of Charity.

I sometimes feel strongly tempted to leave my retirement so far as to take an active and public part in assisting to rally the people of the country to battle In support of our time-honored and glorious flag; but the abuse which 1 received from tne Republican journals in consequence of ray letter to Mr. fceaton, editor of the National IntelUgeucer. admonishes me to desist, but mv opinions are freely expressed ou fall suitable occasions.

C Mr. Kennedy is a delightful talker, and when I asked, "What kind of a man was Buchanan?" Le replied: "The purest, kindest, and apparently the coldest man you could meet. He . was honest to the core, verv retiring and very charitable. When he was elected to the I'ref idency and first took possession of the White House he said tome: 'Mr. Kennedy, my duties now will engross my whole time and I will not have much leisure to devote to charities, but I wish to sptnd every dollar of my Presidential salary over my actual expenses in charity, and it you know of any worthy cases I want yon to call upon me without hesitation.' l did so, and I am sure that not one dollar of his salary accomimnied him when he went out of the White House."

At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1S76, the leadinc products of all the branches of the World's Industry were assembled at Philadelphia. To carry on a prize in the face of that tremendous competition was a task of uo ordinary difficulty. Inventions and preparations for the alleviation of pain and the cure of disease were present in the greatest possible variety, representing the skill and the profonndest study of tbe age, and it may be of vital importance to you, personally, to know that the highest and only medal giveu to rubber l'orou plasters was awarded to the manufacturers of BENSON'S CATCIN'E POROUS PLASTER, by the followins jury: Dr. WM. ROTH, Surseon iJentral, Prussian Army. J. II. THOMPSON, A. M., M. D., Washington, D. t". C. E. WniTE, M. D., New Orleans. ERNEST FLEISCH, M. D., Austria. The decision was afterward confirmed by tbe medical jury at the last Paria Exposition. Knowing the value of euch high and unbiased testimony, the medical profession, both in the United States and in Europe, quickly threw aside the old, slowacting plasters they had been usiug, and adopted Benson's in their regular practice. That physicians and surgeons of tbe broadest reputations did this distinctly proves the intrinsic merit of tne article. It is no more than just to add that the avera.ee physician of to-day Is not dominated by the prejudices which retarded the progress and modified the successes of hia predecessors of not more than twenty-five years apo. He accepts hints from all quarters and indorses and adopts demonstrated healing acents wherever he finds them. The right of Ecnson's Captine Porous Tlaster to f tand at tht, head of all external applications whatsoever, for the mitigation or care of disease, is no longer questioned.
