The subscription price of this excellent journal is so low, being hut $2.12 per year including postage, that none need complain of not being able to subscribe. The expense is only about four cents per week, and we do not know where such a small amount can be more profitably employed or bring so large a return as it will if invested in a year’s subscription to the Manufacturer and Builder. Send for a specimen copy to the above address and pass your own judgment. *

Gentian was our grandmothers’ hobby for a tonic, and no bitter would be considered complete without it; hence it enters into nearly all. But experience has proved that it is injurious to the stomach if f requently used. A far better tonic is found in Cuarano Bitters. Personal. — E. Boughton , Ashbourne , Ba. — “ I have been greatly afflicted for the past two years with general debility, and have tried various remedies. Was induced to try LIVER REGULATOR, which, after the use of one package, has made me feel Uke another being.” When a horse first shows signs of ringbone, endeavor to allay the pain by rubbing the diseased part with equal parts of camphor and chloroform. Then make an ointment composed of iodide of lead and lard, one ounce of the former to eight of the latter. Apply with friction to the diseased part night and morning; continue the treatment for at least two weeks after all symptoms of disease are past, and then be careful not to put the animal at hard work at first. Also give good food in liberal quantities during treatment aud afterward. Ring-bone cannot be cured if the animal is kept constantly at hard work.—A. F. Sun.
