Exercise for Horses.

Dr. Withers, an eminent veterinarian of Chicago, says that exercise, when a horse is convalescing, is medicine; that without it disease will he perpetuated and become complicated. Therefore he believes the only question to be, how much exerciserdo our horses demand? The answer to this, oft course, will he that the amount of exercise must be regulated according to the condition of the horse. Some are in such a state that they demand only a walk up and down the barn, while others are actually made frisky by a drive of two miles and more. Now, says Withers: “If owners of horses will use judgment in the amount of exercise given to the animals, the effect will be beneficial rather than hurtful. The result of long experience, ana the present condition of the horses, sustain this theory. Dropsy, has afflicted more animals which have been withheld from labor than those which have been reharnessed and put into their old tracks. It is a disease which follows in the wake of every disease which tends to thin their blood, and can easily he by judicious treatment. Horses must nhf he exercised too much—neither too little, so that if dropsy shall prevail to any considerable extent, it will either be the natural result of the epizootic in those horses which have weak constitutions, or the result of defective judgment or abuse, iwgiving convalescing animals too much exercise.” The Delaware Legislature lias voted its .pay in gold for several sessions. : Ask for Prussing’s Cider Vinegar and take no other; Warranted to preserve Pickles. Chapped haxds are very common with those who hdve their hands much in water. A few drops of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment rubbed over the bands two or three times a day, will keep them soft and white.

Consumption.—For the cure of this distressing dint-use there has been no medicine yet discovered that can show more evidence of real merit than Allen’s, Lung Balsam. This unequaled expectorantfor curing consumption, and all diseases leading to it,such as affections of the throat, lungs, andalldißcascsof the pulmonary organs, is introduced to the suffering public after its merits for ttie cure of such diseases have been Tally tested by the tnedical faculty. - The Balsam is, consequently, recommended by physicians who have become acquainted With its great success. The Two Extremes.—Two classes of medical thinkers attempt to cure disease bv opposite modes of treatment. One class forces the system into preternatural activity; the other depresses and weakens it. Both are wrong. To inflame the blood of an invalid with medicated alqqhol is as dangerous as to,apply undue) steam pres-' sure to a weak boiler; and to prostrate the physical energy, which is the natural opponent of disease, by depleting treatment, is an act of almost equal temerity. There is a medium between these two extremes, and Dr. Joseph Walker, to whom the world owes the famous California Vinegar Bitters, has been fortunate enough to strike it. He has produced from simple vegetable elements without the admixture of any distilled or fermented fluid, a specific comprising the important-properties ofawholesome tonic, a gentle evacuant, a purifier of the secretions, a pulmonic, a sedative, and a powerful anti-bilious agent. Never before were these six sanative qualities comprehended in one medicine, and never before did one medicine cure so many different diseases. Dyspepsia, liver-complaint, diseases of the kidneys, rheumatism, intermittent fever, disorders of the bowels, gout, and nervous affections, and maladies proceeding from impurity of- the blood, are only a few of the bodily ills for which Vinegar Bitters is considered an unfailing remedy. The Times says Dr. Walpole has lost his beautiful chestnut mare. She died suddenly in harness, it is supposed, from hots or pin worms. If the Doctor hail used Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Pouxlen, lie would, no doubt, have had his mare to-day—they are death on worms. Valuable and Reliable.— “ Brown’s Bronchial Troches” are invaluable to those exposed to sudden changes, affording prompt relief in Coughs, Colds, etc.
