DR KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT \ CURED ME D. H. BILGER, Esq. Hulmeville, Pa. WHEN ALL ELSE FAILED I La Grippe Baffled! The After Effects Cured Mr. Bilger writes: “I had a bad attack of the Grippe; after a time caught cold and had a second attack; it settled in my kidneys and liver, and Oh I such pain and misery in my back and legs. The Physicians’ medicine and other things that I used made no impression, and I continually grew worse until I was a physical wreck, and given up to die. Father bought me a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's S WAMP-ROOT, and before I had used all of the second bottle I felt better, and to-day I am just us well as over. A year has passed and not a trace of the Grippe is left. SWAMP* BOOT saved my life.” ■^'*4 iP IL H. Biloeb, Hulmeville, Pa. Jan - 10tb ’ 189:1 ~ At Druggists, 50c. & SI.OO “ Guide to Health ’’ Free.

INFLUENZA, EPIDEMIC CATARRH, OR GRIPPE. From a medical work in Dr. Arlington’s library we take the following extracts from ahistory of lagrippe, which, considering that for the past few years it has been a common and quite fatal disease in this country, will no doubt be of considerable interest to the majority of our readers. The name influenza, adopted from the Italian, has been applied exclusively, though with no great propriety, to an epidemic disease which usually takes on the character of catarrh. The first epidemic of this kind, of which we have any distinct medical record, occurred in the year 1510. There can be little doubt, however, that it has oc casionally visited mankind from the earliest ages. Since the year mentioned, we have numerous records of its occurrence, at irregular intervals, down to our own times. The epidemic appears to have been altogether irregular in the periods of its occurrence. Sometimes returning in two or three years after its disappearance, it has, in other instances, postponed its return for seven, ten, or r even twenty years. Nor does it appear to have observed any certain course in its progress. In general, however, its tendency is to proceed from the east towards the west, and it . probably marches more frequently from । the south northward, than in the contrary direction. On the old continent, it lias sometimes commenced in Russia, ’ advanced westward through Boland and Germany, then crossed into Britain, and afterwards visited successively - France, Spain and Italy. On other e occasions,it lias begun in the southeast, and entering France and Spain from Italy, Ims thence proceeded to England, and swept round the north of e , Europe. In this country, it has sometimes proceeded from the Northern r States towards the Southern ; on other - occasions, has commenced in the latter, f and marched towards the north. Its . spread is usually so rapid, that it not unfrequently appears throughout vast extents of territory almost simnlta neomdy. Oceans seem to oppose no obstacle to its course. It has leaped 1 over from Europe to North America, * has been observed in solitary islands in the midst of the ocean, and has j attacked the crews of ships far out of 4 reach of any communication from the j land. It appears sometimes so have ] made the circuit of the whole globe. 3 There is a considerable resemblance in its course to that of epidemic cholera, the march of which it, has both im ■ mediately proceeded and followed. • At the moment of invasion, it seizes almost simultaneously on great num hers, and before its departure sometimes involves almost the whole popu ■ hition. Its average duration, in each > neighborhood, is about six weeks; ; though the cause appears to linger after all the susceptible material for its action has been exhausted; for strangers arriving in the affected re- ■ gion, after the disease has apparently ; ceased, are not unfrequently attacked. The inferior animals appear to suffer as well as man . Many instances are on record, in which horses, dogs, sheep, and even birds have been seized by the epidemic. Some persons are much

less susceptible to the mo' Lid b fluence I than others, and some appear to be alB together insusceptible. No obvious cause exists for this discrepancy. All ages, both sexes, and every variety of temperament and occupation, are equally liable to attack. It has been estimated that from one-half to threequarters of the whole community are in a greater or less degree affected. In many of the epidemics, authors have recorded unusual changes in the temperature, moisture and weight of the atmosphere; but the same state of the weather has not been observed in different places attacked ; and not unfreqnently there has been nothing uu common noticed. It appears that the disease has prevailed in all climates, at all seasons, and in every possible thermometrical, hygrometrical and barometrical variation. It has some- | times occurred in summer, though ! more frequently in the colder seasons, j 1 i $ SB i Office room for rent. Fl’ 1 1 bay window. J. Endly.
