The Farm and Household.

To Coror BurTEß.—Take two or three carrots, scrape off the skin, and then grate them., Put the gratings in acloth; wet it; then dip in the cream, and squeeze it well. A little experience will enable anyone to give the butter the shade desired. . : Stump Machine. . The simplest contrivance is to chain a strong piece of timber to one side of the stump by very strong chains hooked into the roots, and attach oxen to the other end ; going about in a circle -will twist the stump out.

How 1o Swrrpr.—The right way to sweep is to incline the handle a little forward, then give a light drawing stroke, allowing the broom to scarcely touch the carpet. Not one half the welght of the broom should be allowed to press on the carpet, as the dirt is moved forward. Let the dirt be moved androlled lightly. If agenerous quantity of tea grounds, small bits of wet paper or clean and wet sawdust can be 'spread, over the carpet before the sweeping is commeénced, all the dirt will adhere to the wet materials.

| SMOKE.—Provided the wind does not blow, a cloud of smoke will often protect crops from frost. *.Crops of apples, it is said, have lfen saved by building fires in the orchard when a cold night comes in the budding season, the salvation being due to the overhanging pall of smoke, not to direct heat. In the South, frost has been kept from tobacco beds by the same means. «In France, tar prepared in a peculiar manner, is placed in vessels and burned in fields which it is desirable to shelter. Thick clojuds of smoke rise a few yards into the air and spread out evenly over quite a large tract.

MILDEW ON LETTUCE.—A correspondent of the Counlry -Gentleman writes: “One of your correspondents, W. S. Lamb, asks for a description of the appearance of mildew on lettuce. When first seen it is a fine mould on the under side of the outer leaves " which lie upon the ground. The leaves affected with.it soon turh yéllow and rot away, and the mildew spreads on to the new growth, sometimes nearly destroying the plant, and always injuring it more or less. If sulphuris applied immediately when it first appears, the mildew will be checked, and » the plant will generally outgrow it, in fact it often outgrows it without any -sulphur, if the weather is clear and dry. The chief trouble is in the dark and damp weather of winter.”

Mould in Cellars. Not long sihce I noticed a statement by a correspondent that he had experienced some difficulty on account of mould collecting in the cellar.— Within a few years we have had trouble from the same cause. Whether our cellar is dani{)er than it formerly was, or the air does not circulate as. freely through it, or for some other cause, mould and mildew appear to collect more than formerly, especially in- the latter part of the summer. I believe the condition of cellars has more influence on the health of families than lis generally understood. I can now think of five families which have had as much as one case each of chills or intermittent fever this spring or the latter part of the winter; yet I have always understood this to be a hot weather disease. Itis very convenient to have.a lot of vegetables stored in the cellar in the tall, for family use during the winter. Then all the outer cellar windows must bé closed to prevent-danger from freezing.— After this there is not much free circulation of air through the celiar, and perhaps the greater '{part of the little ventilation it gets is through the kitchen. This gives the influence of-mould an opportunity to become concentrated in the air of the cellar, and hence I think we may trace the cause of these hot weather diseases in the latter part of summer and spring. = :

Drink for the Harvest Kield. A farmer’s wife in Montgomery county sends us the following recipe for a “Wholesome Field Drink,” and as the season is now approaching when it can Dbe used, we publish it that all may make it who choose: | The'excessive use of cold water during the sweltering heat of summer often results in serious and alarming illness. It is therefore advisable that sonie bever: age should be substituted for it of which the oppressed can partake with safety. Tor this purpose I am aware of no better or more refreshing ‘drink than the following: Take of the best white Jamaica ginger root, carefully bruised, two ounces; cream of tartar, one ounce,water six quarts, to be boiled for about five minuges, then strained; to the strained liquor add one pound of sugar, and again place'it over the fire, keep it well stirred till the sugar is perfectly dissolved, and thén pour it into an earthen vessel, into which you have previcusly put two drachms of tartariec aecid, and the rind of one lemon, and let it remain till the heat is reduced to alukewarm temperature ; then add a teaspoonful of yeast, stirring them well together, and bottle for use. The corks must be well secured, The drslk will be in a high perfection in fouror five days. This ‘is a very refreshing and wholesome beverage, and one which may be largely partaken of without any unpleasant results, even in the hottést. weather.— Harrisburg Telegraph. J |

"To Manage a Balky Horse. C. D. Warner, in the April Atlantic, says« : _ : There are two ways of managing a balky horse. My companion knew one of them, and I the other. His method is to sit quietly in the wagon, and at short intervals throw a small pebble at the horse. The theory is that these repeated sudden annoyances will operate on a horse’s mind, and he will try to escape them by going on. The spectators supplied my friend with stones, and he pelted the horse with measured gentleness. Probably the horse understood this method, for he did not notice this attack at all. My plan was to speak gently to the horse, reqeusting him to go, and then to follow the refusal by one sudden, sharp cut of thelash; to wait a moment, and then repeat the operation. The dread of the coming lash after the gentle word will start any horse. I tried this, and with a certain success. The hoerse backed us into a ditch, and would probably have backed himself into the wagon if I bad continued. When the animal was at length ready to go, Davie took him by the bridle, ran by his side, coaxed him into a gallop, and then, leap‘i‘gxg in behind, lashed him into a run which had little respite for ten miles, up hill or down. Remonstrance in behalf of the horse was in vain, and it was ounly on the return homeé that this specimen Cape Breton driver began to reflect how he could erase the welts from the horse’s back before his father saw him. et et s 2 Experience with Peaches. After nine years engaged in growing peaches, I find the old method of training the treeg so low to be wrong. 1 find that peach frees, trained three and a half feet to four aud a half feet are as healthy and not so liable to break when in fruit as low trained trees. The fruit can be gathered as AT gn thg{) ranches are not so upright; but more spreading. The peach tree neads clean culture the first three

years after planting,and it is very difficult to %ultivate the trees when the branches are so low. S . I have practiced banking the ground up around the trees in the spring; I find it a great help to keep the borer out. Ashes and muck composed make a good 'fertilizer for the peach, on the light, thin soils. Potash dissolved. in water, so it bear a potato,is a good wash, but care is needed in not using! it too strong; it can be safely applied’ to four year old trees or -older, as far up on the branches as can be reached from standing on the ground. Old trees, ten to fifteen years,can be renewed by cutting off all the top when frozen, leaving the main branches four to six feet long, and leaving all the sprouts on that are beneath where the large branches are cut off.

The colder the weather when the top is cut the more vigorous will be the new growthin the spring. The peaches for which I wasiawarded the first premium at the Pomological Society meeting, held in Boston in September last, were mostly grown on trees treated as above, fourteen to sixteen years of age. The trees are now in as vigorous condition as young trees, and the fruit grown en them is superior to that grown on young trees.—Delaware Cor. New York Tribune. ; The New FPeach Enemy.

We briefly alluded, last week, says the Denton (Md.) Union, to the new enemy in our midst to the peach tree. ‘The insect is a small black bug to be found on the peach twig, and near the bud, by the hundreds, and varying in size, wheniseen through a magnifying glass, from a small speck to the dimensions of a common garden pea. They are found from the egg state, without apparent life, in all stages of development up to the full-grown bug. Almost every remedy has been resorted to by Mr. J. W. Kerr, adjoining town, to save his young peach crop, but so far without success. He has resorted to coal oil, a strong solution of tobacco, carbolic soap, and variouns other remedies, which are efféctual in destroying the bug, but which also destroy the tender bud of the peach. These remedies, although proving effectual in destroying the bug and at the same time killing the fruit, were abandoned last week and a force of workers despatched in, the nurseries for the collection of bugs. The day’s labor resulted in capturing one bushel of bugs, the exact amount being ascertained by aectual measurement, which* were placed in a fire and burnt. The second day was spent in -going over the same trees a second time, when another half bushel of bugs were gathered and burnt.’ Such is their power of reproduction. - Mr., K. thinks he had not gone over more than one-twentieth part of his rnursery of 83,000 peach stocks, the largest portion of which he believes to be entirely destroyed by their depredations.

Quictness in Milking. The cow is naturally sluggish in her movements, and should not be hurried out of her natural gait. She should never be driven to the place of milking faster than'a walk, and if she has far to go, the walk should be a slow one— Hurrying a cow when she is full, and the weather warm, hastens the circulation of her blood and her milk. A very little heating of the blood perceptibly affects the milk. Itinecreases its odor as well, raises its temperature and modifies the butter or cheese made from it. On this account. driving cows. with a dog is not to be recjommended. We have seen the milk ‘of a dairy numbering thirty cows, perceptibly affected by the milk of a single cow driven in haste by a dog. She happened to be out at night and was accidentally left in the lot a hundred and fifty rods distant, when the herd was driven to the barn. Against our protest, a dog was sent after her and she came running to the barn, panting and frightened. In fifteen minutes she gave about six quarts of milk /instead of temn, hot and odoriferous. It was mixed with the rest of the milk, and, as was then customary, left through the night without any other cooling than it got by stirring. The extra- odor of the feverish milk, acting as a ferment in the slowly cooling mass, made its impress upon the milk and curd of the next day. The milk of this cow was not regular till after several milkings. - This was an exAreme casé. Less heating and worrying produce less effect, but never fail to.do. injury. Unless the number of cows is very small, and they are all very ‘quiet and peaceable, they had better be fastened in a .milking harn or shaded stalls, rather than to be milked in an open yard. A large herd requires a yard so large as. to give too much chance for dodging, running, hooking and disturbing each other.— It soon becomes trod up and filthy, especially in moist weather. The practice of milking in open yards is rapidly going out of use, especially in large dairies. - All harsh and violent treatment should be avoided. Pain and fear, worlying and solicitude are clearly detrimental to- milk secretion, and never fail to make the cow hold back a part of her mess, if they occur at the time of milking. Kind and gentle treatment and quietude promote secretion and are absolutely essential to drawing all the milk.—Canada Farmer.

THE pernicious effect of a scandalmonger or tale-bearer was never more truthfully exemplified than. by the story of a woman who freely used her . tongue to the scandal of others, and made confession to the priest of what she had done. He gave her a ripe thistle top and told her to go out in various directions and scatter the seed one by one. Wondering at the penance, she obeyed, and then returned and told her confessor. To her amusement, he bade her go back and gather the scattered seeds; and when she objected that it would be impossible, he replied that it would be more difficult to gather up and destroy all the evil reports which she had circulated about others. Any thoughtless, careless child can scatter a handful of thistle seed before the wind in a moment,} but the strongest and wisest man cannot gather them again. '

THE Fort Wayne Gazette is in;favor of the taxation of church property, and says that the large amount of money which the churches are relieved of paying under the present system is as much a subsidy on the part of the State as that paid by the English Government in support of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. In Allen county there is about $2,000,000 worth of church property which thus escapes taxation. It is obvious that the aggregate value of the church property throughout the country, if included lln the assessment list, would return a handsome revenue to the Government. . ;

THE New York compulsory education bill, which has recently received the assent of the Governor, requires parents and guardians of children between the ages of eight and fifteen years to give them, in a school or at home, at least fourteen weeks regular instruction every year, in reading, writing, arithmetie, English grammar and geography. . It prohibits the employment of children within the ages named at any labor during the time when the district schools are opened, and school officers are given authority to see that it is enforced. .

- Elkhart County Items. ' [From the Goshen Democrat, May 27.] = F. C. Patterson, who was thrown into our jail on suspicion of having set fire to his own flouring mill, has brought suit against the two Chicago detectives for damages; in the sum of $5,000. ' “We always surmised that democracy and whisky were synonymous, and now we know it."—Elkhart Observer. ~ No youden’t, Brush. That is aselfevident lie as long as you remain a good republican. Nobody can mistake that sign you carry. We will leave: it to your editorial associate—sister Emma Molloy-——who treated us to the last.g'rlass of wine we ever drank. Come now! i ®

A young gentleman of: Elkhart informs us that nearly all the street crusaders of that town are spiritualists, Mr. Joseph Rippey, near Syracuse, recently sold six steers to Joseph MecDowell, of Ligonier, which were only four years old, and averaged fourteen hundred andsixty-eight pounds. That does well enough for Joseph, and had our Goshen stock men known he had them, it would have saved them their fruitless trip to Chicago last week. i

We learn that the small pox has broken out suddenly in Elkhart, from handling old infected rags in the paper mill. . Five cases are already reported. : - It is reported that one of the gentlemen speakers at a recent crusade meeting in the court yard, said “that it would be better if the whole town were laid in ashes than to have one saloon in it!” : : = How affectionate it looks to see- a nice little man carrying a “stool” for his wife when'she goes to the crusade meetings and the polls.© Good Lord, how things have changed within the last few years! . A lady died at Elkhart last week of small , pox, and her husband was not expected to live. Also, one lady is lying dangerously ill from an attack of erusade caught on the evening of the big rain at that place, while sitting on the stool. e

‘The other week, the Goshen Manufacturing Company turned out 220 extension tables from lumber in the kiln —the largest week’s work on record. The company is greatly behind their orders, although all their machineryis fully! manned. - : ‘During the trial of the liquor cases in court the women crusaders came up the other: day from Elkhart, and lent the influence of their :charming presence to that august tribunal.— They watched with great apparent interest a case against one of their liquor dealers. They heard the evidence and listened to the charge of the Judge, and with triumphant looks awaited the return of the jury with the verdict, which, to their utter astonishment, was—notiguilty. They instantly and indignantly gathered up their skirts and left in high dudgeon, and when they got back to Elkhart went out subsequently into the street and prayed for that ungodly jury. Chalmers Chambers, a young man 18 years of age, of good. habits and respectable parentage, and a family relative of the McKibbins of this city, lefti his home at Albiony Noble county, last Friday, bought a ticket and got on to the way freight train at Brimfield in the afternoon of said day, with the intention of making a short visit to the MecKibbin family here, and return home the next day.— He has not been heard of since, conductor Smith of the yway freight train denying that he evér got on to his train, while others at Brimfield saw him get on when the train moved off —and his parents are in terrible distress of mind for fear he has been foully dealt with some unaccountable way. He was almost a full-grown man, weighing something ' like 160 pounds,s and well dressed. Ile had never expressed a desire to leave home, being domestic and contented in his disposition, and his disappearance is involved in the greatest mystery. ‘ Tar Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. have ordered their engineer to survey a branch road from Bremen to South Bend. 'We wish they would bring down-a similar branch from Syracuse to the City of Goshen. We are in hopes they will do it when our manufacturing interests will justify it.—= Goshen Democrat. :

The measles have been prevailing in different parts of the county this spring. _ On Thursday came up the first case which has appeared in the Circuit Court, under the damage sections of the Baxter bill. The parties were Margaret Mclntyre vs. Fred. Beck, and both ‘hailed from the village of Butler. After hearing the evidence pro and con, the jury concluded that, for selling “pizen” to her husband William, Frederick owed Margaret the sum of $175. :

~ ANTI-SECRET ORGANIZATION.—On the 18th day of the present month was organized, at the Wesleyan Chapel in Wilmington, the “DeKalb County Association Opposed to Secret Societies,” and Rev. W. Burns was elected President, and Rev. J. P. Kester, Secretary. They also adopted a Constitution. It is not known whether the Association will nominate a ticket for the coming campaign or not. . The Kendallville correspondent of the Ligonier BANNER suggests the nanie of J. B. Stoll as suitable to fill the position of Representative on the Noble county democratic ticket. . If the county must have a democratic léeplrlesentative, by all means let it be toll. :

LaGrange County’ Items. " [From the Standard, May 28.] It is just thirty years this spring since the official records of the county were moved to Lagrange, for the transaction of county business. - Esq. Leib, of Newbury, who sold out and moved to Illinois during the winter, hag returned to the county.— He thinks a county where the crops never fail, is a little the best after all. When old potatoes -are $1.50 per bushel the young potatoes should inflate rapidly. There will be a large crop in this vicinity this year, or the bugs will have the hardest job they have had yet in masticating plants.

OLD JOE———was a.quiet old man, but somewhat too fond of his bottle. When in company his ideas always tended toward theological matters, which he always avoided in his sober moments. If¥ was Saturday aftermoon (Cmmﬁgcticut baking day,) and his good wife wanted some wood for the oven. * - : . “Joe, I do wish you would go and split seme wood ; here it is nearly two o’clock, and the fire isn’t made.” Joe 'went aqut to execute his commission, and fearing his physical condition was weak, marched to the neighboring tavern to fortify himself therein. He returned home utterly oblivious to all things save his pet theories. Seating himself on the chair he said: : - L “L say (hic), Jane, do (hic) the Lord (hie) means to burn us all (hic) up in fire ?” L ; His venerable spouse being exceedingly irate, did not answer. Againhe repeated the question. Still an ominous silence. : “Wife, do you think the Loxnd nreans to burn us all in fire everlasting ?” “No,” said the now thoroughly aroused housewife, “no, you old; fool, not if He waits for you to split the wood!” e ‘

A NUMBER of newspapers throughout the State have spoken in complimentary terms of Hon. N. O.

Upon the departure of Mrs. Sartori, the President’s daughter, for a foreign clime, from New York, curiosity stood on tiptoe to the last moment. Large crowds stood on the wharf to see the Baltic shove out with her precious burden. It seems to us there has been a good deal of snobbishness connected with this' semi-royal marriage.

~ - APPLETON’S AMERICAN CYCLOPADIA. - New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every . sabject. Printed from new type, and illustrated with Several Thousand En- ' : gravings and Maps. a 0 Tue work originally published under the title of Tue NEw AMERIOAN CyoLOP&EDIA Was completed in 1863, since which time the w?de circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal develogments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit 1t to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue & new edition entitled Tar AMERIOAN CYELOPAEDIA. Within the last ten years the pro%ress of discovery in every department of knowle lge has made a new ’gork of reference an imgcra\ ve want. The Inovement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their g‘mtful ‘ application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement ofsocial life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, involvin lg national changes of peculiar moment .— The civil war of our own countfy, which was at its height when the last voluwme-of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. i Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. - ; The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s month, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particuiari. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient punblications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnieh an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the practical arts, as well as to give a suceinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events. o The work has been begun atter long’ and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. 5 '

None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact & new Cyclopsedia with the same plan and compass as'its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with tuch improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowfedge. | The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of chtorial effect, but to give greater lucldity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of exglanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, a 8 well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will ind a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopezdia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing, ‘about 800 J)_ﬂges. fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engmving‘s, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps. | S : —7 Price and Style of Binding.

Walker’s California Yinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sicira Nevada mountains of Califorfta, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “WWhat is the cause ot“-theAungar- i alleled success of VINEGAR 113}‘TERS 7 Our answer is, that they reniove the cause of disease, and ~.the patient, recovers his health. They are the great blood ‘parifier: and ‘a life:giving principle, a -perfect Renovator and Invigorator of theisystem. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been "‘compeunded possessing the remarkable qualities of VixEGAR BiTTERs in healing the sick of _every disease man is heir to, They are ‘a-gentle Purgative as well as a Tonie, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of . the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases ’ : - The properties of Dr. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS are Aperient, Dia- — phoretic, Carniinative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, pltcrati\'e, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim VINEGAR BITTERS the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. ‘ s No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and re--main Jong unwell, provided | their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, apd vital organs wasted beyond repair.; " Bilious, ftemittent,vand Intermittent Fevers, which are so . prevalentrin the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colo- - rado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro_anoke, James, and -many others, with their vast tributaries, through- - out our entire country during the - Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual - heat and-dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viseera. -In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a ~ powerful influence upon these vari‘ous organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove . the dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of -the liver, .arid -generally restoring the healthy func- + tions of the digestive organs.’ E ~ Fortify the body against dis- - ease by purifying all its fluids with . VINEGAR BITTERS. No epidemic ' can “take hold of a system thus tbl;e-armed. - Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Cox;ghs, “Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, ‘Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- . tion of the Heart, Inflammation of the *-Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, -.are thé offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better gnarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, ‘Serofulous Inflammations,’ Indolent Inflammations, Mereurial affections, Old-Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, ete. | In these, as in all other constitutional Iliseases, WALKER'S VIiN- .- EGARBITTERS have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractablecasess. .« = . = |

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. . Such Discases are caused by Vitiated Blood. . Mechanical Diseases.—Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysin of the Bowels. To guard! against this, take a dose of WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS oceasionally. ’ - For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Bf’otches, Spots’,'Pimples, Pustiiles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms, Scald-head, Sere Eyes, Lrysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the .Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking “in ‘the system of so many theusands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, orthe turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence ‘that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erué)tions, or Sores ; cleanse it when you find it abstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the bl»oog Yure, and the health of the systemfwi)x.‘l follows! - ~ R. H. McDONALD & CO., Druggists & Gen.
