HENRY'S CARBOLIC SALVE. 
The great and unprecedented success that has attended the introduction of HEN- 
RY’S CARBOLIC SALVE is a most gratifying evidence of its intrinsic 
value and its unrivalled merit 
AS AY HEALING AG-ENT. 
It has elicited unqualified praise from people in all stations of life, and the uni- 
versal verdict of all is that there is NOTHING L,IKE IT. 
Its healing properties are miraculous, and it is no exaggeration to say that previ- 
ous to the discovery of Carbolic Acid and its union with other soothing 
and healing emolients, no such effectual remedy was ever known. 
Out of hundreds of unsolicited letters, all of which teem with praises of HEN- 
RY’S CARBOLIC SALVE, the subjoined excerpts are taken at random, and 
will give some idea of the tantamount value of this 
GREAT HEALING REMEDY. 
New Yokk, Dec. 22,1869. 
John F. Henry, Esq., 
Your Henry’s Carbolic Salve proves an 
excellent article and I thank you for it. 
This is another evidence of the great val- 
ue of the discovery of carbolic acid. 
Yours truly, 
GEO. B. LINCOLN, 
President Board of Health.

John - Henry, 
I 1? /e used your Henry’s Carbolic 
Salve on a very bad running sore on my 
leg. It is superior t© any other made. 
DR. JOHN B. NOLD, 
(Late Surgeon N. Y. Yols.) 
Titusville, Pa., Dec. 1,1871. 
Mr. John F. Henry, 
I treated a case of Erysipelas in which 
“ Henry’s Carbolic Salve” was used with 
great benefit, and I consider it one of 
the best remedies in use for all diseases 
of the skin. 
GRIFFIN RENO, M. D 
New Yokk, July 30,1870. 
John F. Henry, 
I applied “ Henry’s Carbolic Salve ’’ in 
one case to a very bad burn, in which 
proud flesh had formed, and the wound 
was healed with astonishing rapidity. 
Yours respectfully,

tural Ed. N. Y. Tribune. 
New Yobk, Nov. 13, 1871. 
Mr. John F. Henry, 
It gives me pleasure to say that a sin- 
gle box of “ Henry’s Carbolic Salve ” 
effected a complete cure of PILES with 
which I had been troubled over a year, 
and which nothing else that I used would 
cure. Gratefully yours,

Jthe BEST COUGH ME. ; AND CONSUMPTION REMEDY 
IN WORLD IS 
■Dr.'Wm. Hall’S Balsam 
I 
FOR THE LUNGS. 
An Absolute Specific for Coughs, Colds, Influenza, 
Phthisis, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Croup, Asthma, 
Spitting of Blood, Difficulty of Breathing. 
Night Sweats, and all other Ailments 
of the Breathing Organs. 
The extraordinary cures that are constantly effected by Dr. Wm. Hall’s 
Balsam for the Lungs is sufficient reason for our making the above state- 
ment, which we have repeated year after year in successive editions of our 
publications, and which is just as true to-day as when we first said it. 
Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs stands at the head of all cough 
medicines, and it has never been known to fail to cure when used thoroughly 
and persistently according to directions. 
We made the statement last year that in those localities where Dr. Wm. 
Hall’s Balsam for thf. Lungs had been used, the death rate from 
Consumption and Pulmonary Complaints had perceptibly 
diminished, and in following up this line of thought and examining more 
critically the death rate from the above named causes in places where the 
sale of Hall’s Balsam has recently increased, and, comparing with the 
rate of former years, we invariably have found that our statement is literally 
true, and that Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam has been the direct means of reduc- 
ing the death rate in those localities. This fact should encourage others to 
test the wonderful efficacy of this medicine, and satisfy themselves that it is 
all we claim it to be. 
We do not say that every single case of Consumption (at an advancea stage, 
and where the patient has a scrofulous constitution) can be cured, but we 
do say, that where the general health of the system is not fatally disordered, 
and where there is sufficient vital energy left, CONSUMPTION IS as 
CURABLE as any other disease ! Patients occasionally die of Bilious Fever, 
yet we account it a curable disease, because the majority, if treated rightly, 
recover. So we say of Consumption. By the timely administration of this 
medicine, every case can be speedily and thoroughly cured ; and through 
all the various stages of the complaint, from a simple cough, or neglected 
cold, down to the most hopeless case of confirmed tuberculosis Consumption, 
there is nothing which will so surely promote expectoration, allay the Cough, relieve the Night Sweats, sustain the I procure him tranquil rest, 
as this incomparable triumph, Dr. W. Balsam for the Lungs. 
a We know, from long experience, an dmost innumerable, that the 
Medicine is a good ONE, and therefore ,sert with confidence that it will 
accomplish all WE PROMISE, viz: t..c speedy and effectual cure of all 
Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Influenza, Lung Complaints generally, the incip- 
ient stages of Consumption, and also a large proportion of the cases which 
are usually regarded as hopeless, confirmed CONSUMPTION. 
We aim to be public benefactors, and we desire to say to the public that 
our first and last wish is that we may effect cures. 
The paltry sum realized from the sale of a bottle of our medicine is of no 
consideration beside the grander possibility of saving a life; and so we would 
say to everyone who may read this book : ‘ ‘ Da not wait till consumption 
is developed before testing the powerful curative properties of the Balsam, 
when it may require many bottles to cure, but begin as soon as the cough 
manifests its presence, when, perhaps, a few doses may be quite sufficient to 
restore you to perfect health, and thus you not only save yourself from the 
horror of looking death in the face, but you save money as well, and that, 
with many people in these days, is quite a consideration.” 
“ Keep a bottle always in the house, and begin to usAhe medicine in season l' 
We have made no effort whatever to secure certificates. All that we have, 
have come to us unsolicited, and it is a great satisfaction to us to know that 
our efforts to do good are sometimes appreciated, and that there are those 
who are grateful for their recovery from sickness and imminent death. It is 
impossible to present in so small a book all or even half that we receive, but 
we give herewith a few, in order that the public may see for themselves that 
our statements are literally founded on fact. 
CERTIPIGATES. 
Newman, Douglass Co., III., 1 
September 6, 1882. ) 
Messrs. John F. Henry Co., 
Gentlemen:—In the year 18571 was tak- 
en with a very severe cold, which settled' 
on my lungs, and within a short time after 
I began to spit blood. I tried various rem- 
edies, but all without doing me the slight- 
est good. I began to be alarmed, and start- 
ed for a change of climate to Missouri. 
While on my way I became so weakened I 
had to stop at Macomb, McDonough Co., 
in this State. While there a druggist rec- 
ommended me to try your Dr. William 
Hairs Balsam for the Lungs. I bought a 
bottle, not without some misgivings, how- 
ever, as I believed I was rapidly nearing 
the grave. But judge of my surprise and 
gratitude, when, after taking the first bot- 
tie, I commenced, for the first time since 
my sickness, to feel well. By its use I was 
enabled to continue my journey, but after 
remaining in Missouri a short time, always 
using the Balsam, I returned home, nearly 
a well man. I continued the use of the 
Balsam until I was perfectly cured. My- 
self and friends thought my death was a 
question of but little time from that fell 
destroyer Consumption, but your Dr. Wm. 
Hall’s Balsam Saved My Life. Now, after 
twenty-five years, I am feeling as well in 
health as any one, but I always keep a bot- 
tle at hand in case I should ever have need 
to use it. In conclusion, I wish to say. I 
I consider Hairs Balsam the greatest and 
best cough remedy ever offered to the pub- 
lic. It never disappoints the patient. 
Truly yours, W. T. FULLER.

Dunkirk, 0.,Sept, 6, 1882. 
John F. Henry <Sr“ Co.: 
When I was about twenty years old and 
had returned from the army, I was taken 
down sick a-bed with lung trouble, and I 
thought I was threatened with the first 
stages of Consumption. I used in all seven 
bottles of Dr. lVm. Hall's Balsam for the 
Lungs. One day our old family physician 
called in, and told me that I would not live 
till the following Sunday, but I persevered 
in the use of the Balsam, and in a little 
while I was completely cured of my trouble 
and I have always been a friend to Dr. 
lVtn. Hall's Balsam since, for it saved 
my life, without a doubt. 
JOHN C MILLER. 
Stonington, Conn., July 2, 1882. 
I write to inform you that I have been 
using your Dr. IVm. Hairs Balsam for the 
Lungs and found that it has done me great 
good. I have been sick now for the last 
six months, and have found nothing but 
this Balsam to do me any good. 
MRS. MARION ALVES. 
THE TESTIMONY OF A PHYSICIAN. 
Sigourney, Iowa, Jan. 26, 1880. 
John F. Henry Co., 
* Gentlemen:—Far several years I have 
been using your Cough Balsam, called Dr. 
\Vni. Hairs Balsam for the Lungs, some- 
times adding a prescription with it, and, in 
almost every case throughout my practice I 
have had entire success, except in a few 
cases that were too far gorfe,and even then 
I have in a great measure prolonged their 
lives. I have used and prescribed hun- 
dreds of bottles of your Lung Balsam. I 
have used it ever since the days of my army 
practice, 1863, when I was surgeon of Hos- 
pital No. 7, Louisville, Ky. 
Very respectfully yours, 
JAMES BEECHER, M. D. • 
[Will the Dr. pardon us for giving pub- 
licity to his letter, and also permit us to add 
that we fancy he would have had more uni- 
formly satisfactory results if he had not 
added any other prescription. Dr. JVm. 
Hairs Balsam has effected cures when the 
lungs were nearly half gone. 
J. F. H. & CO.] 
Mr. Isaac C. Chapman, druggist, New- 
burgh, N. Y., writes us: “I have for the 
past ten years sold several gross of Dr. 
IVm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs. I can 
say of it what I cannot say of any other 
patent medicine. I never heard a custo- 
mer speak of it but to praise its virtues in 
the highest manner. I have recommended 
it in a great many cases of Whooping Cough 
with the happiest effects. I have used it 
in my own family for many years—in fact, 
always have a bottle in the medicine closet, 
ready for use.” 
CONSUMPTION. 
Nearly one-fourth of the entire mortality of the United States is from 
Consumption. It is the most prevalent and deadly disease of our climate. 
It annually carries to their graves, in the United States alone, its 500,000 
victims. What an awful death list!—half a million souls. Small Pox and 
Yellow Fever are frightful maladies; but fortunately their visitations in an 
epidemic form, are few and far between. The ravages of Consumption, on 
the other hand, are ceaseless. For the year of 1880 the State of Maine had 
the enormous percentage of .2577 deaths from Consumption to the total mor- 
tality. In fact, the Eastern States show this disease clearly to be the most 
fatal and prevalent one among them. The percentage in New Hampshire 
was .2221; in Vermont, .2014; in the District of Columbia, .2193; in Rhode 
Island, ,1924; in Massachusetts, .1994; in Connecticut, .1792. At all sea- sons, in all sections of the United States it is continually feeding the grave- 
yard, feeding it too, with those who are young, those who were beautiful, 
those who were gifted, the very flower of our population. It carries off 
annually a greater number of persons than all the infectious and contagious 
diseases combined ! The victims are all put off untimely, and a vast major- 
ity of them between the ages of 17 and 36 years. Surely the value of a med- 
icine which, if given in time, will prevent the greater portion of this terrible 
mortality is beyond all estimate ; and such a medicine we conscientiously 
believe Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam to be. 
The prevalent notion that Consumption always kills, is as unfortunate as it 
is untrue. The deaths of thousands of consumptives are mainly due to 
depression of spirits, occasioned by this groundless idea. Hope is a grand 
tonic; and, on the other hand, there is nothing so devitalizing as despair. 
The sick who “give up,” and are “given up” by their friends seldom recover. 
Would that we could recount, at the bedside of every desponding consump- 
tive, what Djt. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for hie Lungs has done for multi- 
tudes in a like condition ! Would that even the few testimonials printed in 
this book could be read by every individual now languishing under the dou- 
ble pressure of pulmonary disease and tfye conviction that it must prove 
fatal. If these cheering statements, accompanied by a supply of this bene- 
eficent remedy, could reach the hands of every consumptive in the land, the 
mortality by that dread complaint, which annually carries off one pet cent of 
our population, would be materially diminished during the present year. 
■WEECKS. 
How many a man has started out in life with the brightest prospects, 
abundance of money, good credit, plenty of custom, bright skies, and all 
that heart could wish. Then he “ catches a cold,” a cough follows— a mere 
trifle that will soon pass off, he thinks; but it does not pass off. It hangs on 
with a persistency characteristic of the insidious disease. By and, bye the 
lungs are affected—night sjveats weaken the system—the sufferer, who 
never before knew what it was to be sick, finds himself suddenly shattered 
as if by a blast. Business is neglected, the sheriff comes in, the doctor runs 
up bills, but all to no avail, and finally pronounces the case iucurable. 
Consumption ! Business wrecked, health wrecked, and family left desti- 
tute. 
Well, is there any remedy for this? Most certainly there is. There was 
a time when a twentieth part of a bottle of Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for 
the Lungs might have effected a cure. A little later on a single bottle 
might have restored the victim to perfect health, and even when all hope had 
gone, and after the physician had pronounced the case incurable, a cure 
would not have been impossible. 
It is gross culpability to neglect the first premonitory symptoms of Con- 
sumption. It is the medicine taken in season that effects the easiest cures. No medicine has yet been discovered that can reproduce any vital part of the 
human system when it is utterly decayed or wasted away. The most it can 
do is heal over the diseased parts, and the victim struggles on through the 
remainder of his life, a mere rehabilitated wreck. How much better to nip 
the mischief in the bud ! 
The number of people who die from consumption is pefectly appalling. 
It is the most fatal and the most largely prevalent disease with which physi- 
cians have to contend, and you have but to glance at the death rates pub- 
lished from time to time in the newspapers to assure yourself that what we 
state is true. Consumption is the most dreadful scourge of the age, and it 
will be your fault, and yours alone, if you do not avail yourself of the means 
we offer to cope with its terrible power and stay its menacing approach. No 
month in the year is free from its ravages. We feel that we have done our 
duty when we have sounded the note of warning and pointed the way to 
security. We can do no more. Dalliance with this fatal disease is danger- 
ous to the last extreme. Do not flatter yourself with the thought that it is but 
a trifle. It is no trifle as you will find to your sorrow, when it is, alas, too 
late. 
To detect any unsoundness of the Lungs, draw a long breath, and if it 
produces a sharp pain, it is a pretty certain indication that pulmonary trou- 
bles exist. Some physicians have asserted that no one will ever have Con- 
sumption who is in the habit of frequently inhaling long draughts of air, 
thus distending the lungs and keeping them in a state of constant health and 
good order. A celebreted European physician quite recently professes to 
have made the startling discover}'' that tuberculosis is nothing more than a 
parasite, that eats away the lungs, and that its existence may be prevented 
by innoculation in a similar manner to vaccination for small pox. 
Be this as it may, one thing we know—Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for 
the Lungs, will cure every case of Consumption, that is not absolutely 
incurable, even though past help from any other medicine. 
EVIDENCE. 
Nothing gives such confidence in a medicine as well authenticated testimo- 
nials, and it is for that reason that we present the following in regard to Dr. 
Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs, every one of which is authentic and 
bona fide, and the writers may be referred to at any time in proof of their 
entire genuineness: / 
A REMARKABLE CUKE. 
A CONSUMPTIVE AT DEATH’S DOOR BROUGHT 
TO LIFE. 
The following statement of William J. 
Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass., in relation 
to his restoration to health by Dr. IVm. 
Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, is so re- 
markable that we beg for it the attention of 
our readers and their friends who may have 
•weak lungs, or may be troubled with coughs, 
colds, or other diseases of the throat and 
chest. Mr. Coughlin said: “ In the fall of 
1876 I was taken with a violent bleeding of 
the lungs followed by a severe and painful 
cough, which gave me no rest either by day 
or night. I soon began to lose my appe- 
tite and lost flesh considerably. I was compelled shortly to quit work, and was so 
weak at one time that I could not leave 
my bed unless I was assisted. In the sum- 
mer of 1877 I was admitted to the city hos- 
pital. While there one of the doctors said 
I had a hole in, my left lung as lig as a 
half dollar. I expended over a hundred 
dollars in doctors and medicine. I went to 
the country on several occasions, but could 
get no help. I still continued to fail until 
my friends gave me up. I was so far gone 
at one time a report went around that I was 
dead. I was discouraged and gave up hope, 
but a friend told me of Dr. IVm. Hall's 
Balsam for the Lungs. I laughed at my 
friends, thinking at that time that my case 
was incurable ; but they pleaded so earn- 
estly I got a bottle to satisfy them, think- 
ing ic would do me no good, when to my 
surprise and gratification, I soon began to 
feel better. My spirits rose, my hope, once 
dead began to revive, and to-day I feel in 
better spirits than I have the past three 
years. I write you this hoping you will 
publish it, so that everyone afflicted with 
diseased lungs will be induced to take Dr. 
IVm. LI all's Balsam for the Lungs, and be 
convinced that consumption can be cured. 
I have taken two bottles .nd can positively 
say that it has done me more good than all the 
other medicines I have taken since my sick- 
ness. My cough has almost entirely disap- 
peared, and I shall be able to go to work by 
the first of June.” 
ANOTHER PHYSICIAN’S TESTIMONY. 
Boston, Mass., May 9, 1881. 
I know parties who have tried all kinds of 
medicines for lung diseases, who say that Dr. 
IVm, Hall's Balsam is a complete success. 
DR. CHAS. H. WOOD. 
Austin, Texas, Feb, 20, 1SS0. 
To Mr. J. IV. Graham, Druggist : 
Dear Sir—My case was an acute form of 
bronchitis, brought on by a severe cold, and 
was of one and a half years’ duration. Hav- 
ing employed the best medical aid possible, 
and getting no relief, but failing rapidly, 
until the doctors said it was only a matter 
of a few months ; then I' would die—that 
my case was incurable. Thrown upon my 
own resources, I called at your store and 
bought a bottle of Half s Balsam /or the 
Lungs, and in six hours obtained a decided 
relief. In three days the cough almost dis- 
appeared. That my case was one of intense 
suffering, you, as well as other friends, 
know only too well. That I have been ben- 
efitted by the above to a wonderful extent, 
hundreds who know me can testify. Now 
that my chances of life are good tor many 
years, I earnestly recommend the above .o 
every sufferer of lung or throat diseases.

ANOTHER LIFE SATED. 
Dadeville, Old Tallapoosa Co., Ala., 
October 5, 1878. 
Dear Sirs:—I take this opportunity to 
write to you to inform you that I have been 
using your Dr. IVm. Hall's Balsam for the 
Lungs, and I can say, of a truth, 't is far 
superior to any other lung preparation in 
the world. My mother was confined to her 
bed four weeks with a cough, and had every 
attention one eould nave in the world, by 
as good physicians as there are in the 
country, and they all failed to effect a ture; 
but when I got one bottle of your Hairs 
Balsam for the Lungs, she began to mend 
right away. She is now taking the third 
bottle, and, sirs, I can say the truth, that *7 
•was the means of saving her life, and I 
can only repeat that it is the best cough 
medicine in the world. I knovr of five cases 
that your Balsam has cured, and as for my 
mother, she is better now than she has been 
for twenty years, from the use of your Bal- 
sam. Yours truly, 
J. C. GRAY.

For Sale by Druggists Everywhere. REMARKABLE CURES OF CONSUMPTION. 
Cincinnati, March 12, 1882. 
Messrs. John F. Henry Co., 
Gentlemen:— Early last winter, my 
daughter, about fourteen years of age, was 
attacked by a severe cold which settled on 
her lungs. We tried several medicines that 
were highly recommended, none of which 
seemed to do her any good, but she contin- 
ued to get worse, and finally raised large 
amounts of blood from her lungs. We 
called in a family physician, but he failed 
to do her any good and gave no hopes. We 
then called in a physician who is one of the 
most skillful professors in one of our col- 
leges ; he said that she could not get well, 
and gave no hopes of her recovery, and rec- 
ommended Cod Liver Oil, which, he said, 
might ease her while she lasted ; but it 
failed to give her any relief. At this time 
a friend, who was cured by the use of Dr. 
IVm. Hall's Balsam, advised me, by all 
means, to give it a trial. We then got a 
bottle of Dr. IVm. Hall's Balsam, and be- 
fore she had used the first bottle all up, she 
immediately began to improve, and by the 
use of three bottles was entirely cured. As 
this medicine has been the means of restor- 
ing my beloved daughter to health, 1 give 
this simple statement that others may know 
of this great remedy, and you may also be 
benefitted by the sale. You are also at lib- 
erty to refer to us, or our neighbors, who 
visited us during her sickness. 
HARRIET CUMMINGS. 
New Orleans, La., April 23, 1S82. 
Messrs. John F. Henry & Co., 
Gentlemen:—I have a son who has been 
sick for two years ; he has been attended 
by our leading physicians, but all to no 
purpose. This morning he had his usual 
spell of coughing, and was so greatly pros- 
trated, in consequence, that death seemed 
imminent. We had in the house a bottle of 
Dr. IVm, HaHs Balsam, purchased by my 
husband, who noticed your advertisement 
yesterday. We administered it according 
to directions, and he was instantly relieved. 
His symptoms correspond exactly with 
chronic bronchitis, and if there is a possi- 
bility of saving his life, I want to be placed 
within reach of that possibility. 
MRS. ANN LACOUR, 381 Camp St. 
[We are just in receipt of the following 
letter from Mrs. Swartwout, who says she 
is now in her seventy-third year, and feels 
she cannot recommend Dr. IVm. Hall's 
Balsam too highly.] 
Perry City, Schuyler Co., N. Y., [ 
September 22,1883. j 
Twelve years ago I was taken with a vio- 
lent cough, and could not lie down. I tried 
everything I could in the way of a cough 
medicine, and sent for our family physician, 
but could get no relief. Hearing Dr. IVm. 
Hall's Balsam so highly recommended for 
diseases of the lungs, I concluded to try it, 
I commenced to take it Sunday ; and every 
hour I got relief and felt better. I took it 
four or five times a day till Wednesday. 
Then I could lie down and get my usual 
sleep. One bottle cured me, and ever since 
I have had it in the house. I have used it 
for hay fever and find it the only thing that 
gives me relief. I would not be without it, 
and cheerfully recommend it to all for the 
cure of Coughs or Lung Diseases. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. MARY SWARTWOUT. 
Auburn, Ills., Nov. 23, 1883. 
Messrs. John F. Henry Co,, 
Gentlemen;—I wish to say a good word 
in favor of your Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam 
for the Lungs, that those suffering may be 
induced by my experience to give your Bal- 
sam a fair trial. Four years ago, I con- 
tracted a severe cold that settled on my 
lungs, and I soon began to lose rapidly 
in flesh, and felt bad generally. I began 
the use of your Balsam on the recom- 
mendation of a friend, and two-thirds of a 
bottle effected a complete cure. I had been 
suffering from the cold for about five 
months, and during that time was low spir- 
ited and discouraged, until I was happily 
cured by your wonderful medicine. I am 
engaged in business here, and any inquiries 
will be cheerfully answered. 
Yours truly, E. T. STOUT.

A Pretty Home.—Now that so many pretty things may be bought at 
moderate cost, the poorest woman may save a room from being meagre in 
its appointments. She can avoid horse hair sofas and violent carpets, and 
vulgar prints on the walls. Good engravings, a little cretonne, some knick- 
knacks made by herself, a few grasses, a growing plant and an open fire, are 
all that are needed to make a room look pleasant and refined. What a pity 
it is that in a country covered with wood, a wood fire should be an expensive 
luxury, for there is nothing like it to make home attractive ! It burns up 
many a quarrel and morbid speculation, rights many a wrong, and promotes 
peace. No picture is so cheerful as that of the family gathered round 
it as the evening falls. No conversations are so fresh as those which go up 
with the sparks. No companion is so lively and invigorating to the invalid, 
the recluse, the mourner, or the aged, as a wood fire. It is the most health- 
ful of all ventilators, the most picturesque picture, the most enlivening sug- 
gestion of energy and thrift. And yet comparatively few homes possess 
this rare attraction. In the cities, however, we can make carnel coal take 
place of wood in a measure, and still rejoice in our open fire. 
How TO Grease A Wagon Wheel.—The Coach Makers’Magazine in- 
dorses the statement that few people are aware that they do their wagons 
and carriages more injury by greasing too plentifully than in any other way. 
A well made wheel will endure constant wear from ten to twenty-five years if 
care is taken to use the right kind and proper amount of grease ; but if this 
matter is not attended to, it will be used up in five or six years. Lard should 
never be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the hub and work its way out 
around the tenons of the spokes, thus spoiling the wheel. Tallow is the best 
lubricator for wooden axle-trees, and castor oil for iron hubs, but many of 
the patent axle greases are also excellent, and have the merit of being 
cheaper and more convenient to handle. Just grease enough should be ap- 
plied to the spindle of the wagon to give it a slight coating. This is better 
than more, for the surplus put on will work out at the ends, and be forced 
by the shoulder bands and nut washer into the hub around the outside of the 
boxes. To oil an iron axle-tree, first wipe the spindle clean, wet w-ith spirits 
3f turpentine, and then apply a few drops of castor oil near the shoulder and 
2nd. One teaspoonful is sufficient for the whole. EXPEL POISON FROM THE BLOOD WITH 
SCOVILL’S 
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla and Stillingia; or, 
Blood -and Liver Syrup 
A PEERLESS REMEDY FOR 
All Malignant External or Internal Diseases, and every other Malady, inher- 
ited or acquired, arising from an IMPURE CONDITION OF 
THE BLOOD, or a lack of vigor in the vital system. 
During the thirty-seven years that Scovill's Blood and Liver Syrup has been 
a public medicine, it has proved a positive remedy for 
Scrofula, White Swellings, Cancer, Erysipelas, 
Chronic Sores, Gout, Syphilis, Tumors, Carbun- 
cles, Salt Rheum, Malaria, and all Diseases 
' arising from Depravity of the Blood. 
Cutaneous eruptions upon the face or body do not necessarily indicate the 
taint of Scrofula ; but, whether the insidious poison of that dire malady is 
present in the system or not, certain it is that Scovill's Blood and Liver Syrup 
completely cures such disorders. If the virus of Scrofula does exist in the 
veins, this matchless purifier will root out every vestige of it. No eruptive 
malady, be it scrofulous or otherwise, can resist the purifying action of this 
safe and potent remedy, which renders the skin clear, soft and beautiful. 
There never was a time when a safe and powerful Blood Depurent, capa- 
ble of thoroughly purifying and renovating that important fluid, was more 
imperatively needed than now. Scrofula and all other terrible diseases of 
the flesh, the glands and the skin are everywhere on the increase, and the 
ordinary modes of treatment are utterly powerless to arrest them. You may 
exhaust your lists of so-called specifics in vain, in the endeavor to check 
these scourges of mankind ; but, fortunately, when your every trial has 
been baffled, a sovereign remedy yet remains. SCOVILL’S BLOOD AND 
LIVER SYRUP meets the exigency. Ulcers and eruptive diseases of the 
most virulent nature are permanently expelled from the system by its use. A 
combination of vegetable extracts, which no taint in the blood, whether cas- 
ual or transmitted, can resist, gives it absolute control over all disorders aris- 
ing from this cause. 
The two most potent curative agents in this wonderful disinfectant and 
invigorant are Sarsaparilla and Stillingia, both well-known to medical men 
and pharmacopolists as antidotes to the poison in the veins which produces 
and perpetuates all flesh-consuming, bone-destroying, and obstinate glandu- 
lar and cutaneous distempers. 
The beneficent operation of these concentrated extracts, when united in 
one medicine, was never dreamed of by medical men until it was demon- 
strated in the effects of the Blood and Liver Syrup. 
It is in the highest degree dangerous to trifle with any disorder generated 
by venous poison. Such diseases spread almost as swiftly as a prairie fire, 
and, if not promptly checked, will soon invade, more or less every portion 
of the body, and disturb every physical function. No time should be lost 
after the development of the malady, in meeting it with this matchless anti- dote which should be taken regularly until the last trace of the complaint has 
vanished. The preparation, it must be understood, is not merely a disin- 
fectant. It has a far wider scope than that. It changes the morbid condi- 
tion of the general system into one of health and vigor, by renewing the 
natural and harmonious action of the secretive organs, which is essential to 
both. 
There is reason to believe that the present generation is more extensively 
and severely afflicted with evils, arising from tainted blood, than any of its 
predecessors. Hundreds of thousands of all classes—old and young, rich 
and poor—are in this lamentable predicament. Probably a majority of the 
sufferers are not aware of the source of their complaints. Few persons are 
cognizant of the close connection that, in many instances, exists between 
Scrofula and Consumption ; but every physician knows that persons of a 
scrofulous habit are almost always predisposed to Phthisis. It is estimated 
that of the 500,000 persons who die annually in the United States of various 
pulmonary diseases, at least one-fourth exhibit symptoms of a scrofulous 
taint, either before Consumption sets in or during its development. Add to 
these the multitudes who fall victims to malignant Scrofula, Erysipelas, Spi- 
nal Disease, Degeneration of the Liver, Syphilitic Affections, and the many 
other deadly disorders propagated by venous poison, and the paramount im- 
portance of a safe vegetable alterative, capable of purging the vital fluid of 
every noxious element, becomes at once apparent. Such an alterative is 
ScovilPs Blood and Liver Syrup, and it is believed to be the only prepara- 
tion now before the world which will positively and invariably accomplish 
that object. 
The cures effected by this grand remedy are absolute, and their record is 
undisfigured by failure. 
The extremely limited space of this book prevents our giving but two or 
three certificates out of the many that we have received, and have come to us 
entirely unsolicited, as evidence of the gratitude of those whose lives have 
been saved by the use of this most excellent medicine. 
A REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA. 
Lewis, Vego Co., Ind., Feb. 10, i83i. 
Messrs. John F. Henry £? Co.: 
I write to tell you that my son was taken 
with scrofula in the hip when only two 
years old. We tried several physicians, 
but the boy no relief from their treat- 
ment. Noticing ycyir ScovilPs Blood and 
Liver Syrnp, or Sarsaparilla and Stillin- 
gia recommended so highly, I bought some 
of you in the year i860, and continued tak- 
ing it till the sores finally healed up. He 
is now 21 years of age, and being satisfied 
that your medicine did him so much good 
when he used it, we want to try it again, 
and now write to you to get some more of 
it. Yours truly, 
WILLIAM E. BAKER. 
Minonk, III., May 15, 1879. 
Messrs. John F. Henry & Co., 
Gentlemen: —Having used your medi- 
cine, ScovilPs Blood and Liver Syrup, ac- 
cording to the directions given, for the 
purpose of enriching and purifying the 
blood and regulating the liver, and having 
found the medicine to do all that you claim 
for it, I cheerfully recommend its use to all 
persons affected likewise. 
Very truly, J.M. FORT. 
Clarksburg, W. Va., June 23, 1879. 
Messrs. John F. Henry Co., 
Gentlemen:—I am quite familiar with 
your Blood and Liver Syrup, having used 
it for the past fifteen years as an alterative 
medicine, and can safely say that it is su- 
perior to any with which I am acquainted 
now in the market for the cure and control 
of those diseases that have baffled the skill 
of the masters of the medical profession. 
I am yours truly, 
T. C. COYLE,

Messrs. John F. Henry Co.: 
I have taken two bottles of your Blood 
and Liver Sprup, or Sarsaparilla and 
Stillingia, and have gained four and a hali 
pounds in about sixty days. 
Yours, ALBERT BROWN. 
Livonia, N. Y., Jan. 30, 1882. 
Messrs. John F. Henry Co., 
Gentlemen:—I write to you, as I see you 
are proprietors of ScovilPs Blood and L iver 
Syrup. I have taken some of it and want 
more, as I think it is the best blood purifier 
1 ever tried. Very respectfully yours,

Price One Dollar Per Bottle, Americans Surely Ought Not to Be Afraid of Friday. 
Friday, long regarded as a day of ill omen, has been an eventful one in 
American history. 
Frriday, Colombus sailed on his voyage of discovery. 
Friday, ten weeks after, he discovered America. 
Friday, Henry III, of England, gave John Cabot his commission, which 
led to the discovery of North America. 
Friday, St. Augustine, the oldest town in the United States was founded. 
Friday, the “ Mayflower,” with the Pilgrims, arrived at Plymouth ; and on 
Friday they signed that august compact, the forerunner of the present Con- 
stitution. 
Friday, George Washington was born. 
Friday, Bunker Hill was seized and fortified. 
Friday, the surrender of Saratoga was made. 
Friday, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown ; and on Friday the motion 
was made in Congress that the United Colonies were, and of right ought to 
be, free and independent. 
Friday, the recipe of Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs was formu- 
lated. 
Work Young Girls Might Do.—I wish it were in my power, writes 
Sarah O. Jewett, to persuade young girls, who wonder what they shall do to 
earn their living, that it is really better to choose some business that is in the 
line of woman’s natural work. There is great repugnance at the thought of 
being a servant, but a girl is no less a servant to the man who owns the 
shop where she stands all day behind the counter than she is where she 
waits upon the table or cooks the dinner in a pleasant house ; and to my 
mind there would not be a minute’s question between the two ways of going 
out to service. The wages are better, the home is better, the freedom and 
liberty are double in one that they are in the other. If instead of the sham 
service that is given by ignorant and really over-paid servants to-day, sensi- 
ble girls who are anxious to be taking care of themselves and earning good 
wages would fit themselves at the cooking schools, or any way they found 
available, they would not long wait for employment, and wpuld be valued 
immensely by their employers. When one realizes how hard it is to find 
good women for every kind of work in our houses, and what prices many 
rich people are more than willing to pay if they can be well suited, it is a 
wonder more girls are not ready to seize the chances. It is because such 
work has been almost always so carelessly and badly done that it has fallen 
into disrepute, and the doers of it have taken such low rank. Nobody takes 
the trouble to fit herself properly, but women trust to being taught and find- 
ing out their duties after they assume such positions, not before. 
To PREVENT INJURY TO KID GLOVES from perspiration, apply ordinary 
corn starch (dry) to the hands before drawing them on. A PRETTY AND SIMPLE ARTICLE for house decoration can be made from 
Japanese fans as follows: Take four fans of bright colors (for example, 
scarlet, blue, yellow, and light brown), cut the long sticks from the ends, and 
join the fans together by gluing (sticks pointing outwards) having first taken 
out the rivets. Then with a double thread gather the paper end of the fans 
into as small a compass as possible, letting the sticks fly, thereby exactly 
reversing the shape of the fans. Finish by running two rows of ribbon, of 
pretty contrasting colors, in and out through the sticks, and then put a bow 
of ribbon directly in the centre, when they are gathered together. Fasten 
upon the wall with four brass-headed tacks. 
"Windows AND mirrors may be quickly and thoroughly cleaned by 
using Sapolio and newspapers, in place of water and cloth. 
Gentlemen’s CLOTHES, and, in fact, cloth of any description, and also 
black silk may be cleaned from all stains and spots by using soap-bark. Pro- 
cure two ounces of soap-bark ; take one-half of it, and pour boiling water 
upon it. When cold, take a soft brush, and dip it in the preparation and apply 
to the spotted part. After using, the soiled places will present a soapy appear- 
ance. Then wash off with clear, cold water, and when the article has 
become dry, no trace of the stain will remain. 
PRESERVING Eggs.—The following mixture was patented several years 
ago by a Mr. Jayne. He alleged that by means of it he could keep eggs 
two years. A part of his composition is often made use of—perhaps the 
whole of it would be better. Put into a tub or vessel, one bushel of quick 
lime, two pounds of salt, half a pound of cream of tartar, and mix the same 
together, with as much water as will reduce the composition, or mixture, to 
that consistence that it will cause an egg put into it to swim with its top just 
above the liquid ; then put and keep the eggs therein. 
To Ascertain the Weight of Cattle.—Measure the girt close 
behind the shoulder, and the length from the fore part of the shoulder-blade 
along the back to the bone at the tail, which is in a verticle line from the 
buttock, both in feet. Multiply the square of the girt, expressed in feet, 
by five times the length, and divide the product by twenty-one; the quotient 
is the weight, nearly, of the four quarters, in imperial stone (a stone being 
equal to fourteen pounds avoirdupois). Example—If the girt be 6 feet, and 
the length 5 feet, we shall have 6 x 6 ■=> 36, and 5x 5 ■== 26%; then 36 
x 26)4" 945, and this, divided by 21, gives 45 stone exactly. It is to be 
observed, however, that in very fat cattle, the four quarters will be about 
one-twentieth more, while in those in a very lean state, they will be one- 
twentieth less than the weight obtained by the rule. 
Neat Mode of Soldering.—-Cut out a piece of tinfoil the size of the 
surfaces to be soldered. Then dip a feather in a solution of sal-ammoniac, 
and wet over the surfaces of the metal, then place them in their proper posi- 
tion, with the tinfoil between. Put it so arranged on a piece of iron hot enough 
to melt the foil. When cold they will be found firmly soldered together. HENRY’S CARBOLIC SALVE. 
The Best Healing Ointment and Disinfectant Ever Invented. 
SOME FACTS OF IMPORTANCE TO ALL WHO MAY HAVE OC- 
CASION TO USE A SALVE OR OINTMENT OF ANY KIND. 
I. 
We have no hesitation in saying that there is no remedy for the cure of 
Wounds, Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Eruptions, Burns, Scalds, Pimples, Blotches, 
and every disease of the skin, equal to the genuine Henry’s Carbolic Salve, 
as we prepare it, in exact conformity with the original formula. 
II. 
There are several preparations called “ Carbolic Salve,” “ Carbolisalve, ” 
“Carbolic Ointment,” &c., put up by parties who know nothing whatever as 
to the ingredients in the genuine Henry’s Carbolic Salve, nor their proper 
proportion, and who, by ignorantly employing Carbolic Acid in a preparation 
designed to be applied to wounds, cuts, &c., are liable to produce a com- 
pound that may poison the blood, and do more mischief and injury with their 
pernicious mixtures than it is possible to imagine ; for when the blood is 
tainted with poison, disease is transmitted from generation to generation, 
and it seems almost impossible to eradicate it from the system. 
III. 
This being the case, there is no absolute safety except in buying the genu- 
ine, made by John F. Henry & Co., which bears their proprietary stamp 
inside the label around the box. We have been the sole owners and proprie- 
tors of Henry’s Carbolic Salve from the first, and have never sold the 
right to manufacture it, nor communicated the formula for its manufacture, 
to any person or persons not in our employ or connected with our estab- 
ment, and would respectfully warn all persons that any preparation purport- 
ing to be Carbolic Salve, which is not made by us, and does not bear our 
proprietary stamp, cannot be genuine, and is positively dangerous to use, for 
the reason above given. 
THE GENUINE HENRY’S CARBOLIC SALVE 
stands pre-eminently without a rival as a curing and healing agent, and some 
of its cures have been most marvelous. 
There probably has never been any medicinal preparation that has been so 
well received or found such immediate favor with the public as Henry’s 
Carbolic Salve. The fact that one or two applications would effect cures, 
seemed to be almost a new revelation in medical science, and to establish 
it at once in popular favor as the most REMARKABLE HEALING AGENT 
ever discovered. There are many families who would no more think of 
being without Henry’s Carbolic Salve in the house than to be without 
flour or bread, or any other of the necessaries of life. 
We are constantly in receipt of letters adding volume after volume to the 
testimonials of cures effected by this great healing compound. We regret 
that the cramped limits of this little book will permit us to give but a very 
few of these letters, which we select at random from the great number that 
we have received. 
AN EDITOR’S TESTIMONIAL. 
Office of the Greenwich Review, ) 
Greenwich, O., June 12, 1879. j 
Messrs. John F. Henry Co., 
Gentlemen:—On the 22d of last January 
I met with a very severe accident, caused 
by a runaway horse. I used almost every 
kind of salve to heal the wounds (three in 
number), which turned to running sores, 
but found nothing to do me any good till 
Messrs. Marsh & Co„druggists, recommend- 
ed yout Henry's Carbolic Salve. I bought a 
box and it helped me at once. I used it 
alone for about two months, and at the end 
of that time I was completely well. It is 
the best salve in the market, and I assure 
you I never fail of telling my friends about 
it, and urge them to use it whenever they 
need a salve. Yours truly, 
A. M. VAUGHN, Editor of Review.

Messrs. John F, Henry <5r Co.: 
I am now using a box of your Henry's 
Carbolic Salve upon an ulcer, which, for the 
past ten days has given me great pain. This 
salve is the only remedy that I have found 
that has given me any ease. My ulcer was 
caused by varicose veins, and was pro- 
nounced incurable by the medical doctors. 
I find, however that your Henry's Carbolic 
Salve is effecting a cure.

Dear Sirs:—I gave the Henry's Carbolic 
Salve a thorough trial, am very much pleas- 
ed with the result. Think it is the best salve 
I ever used without exception. Would cheer- 
fully'recommend it to all who have sores of 
any description upon their person. It re- 
moves soreness wonderfully quick, or at least 
it did for me. Yours truly, 
A. J. COOK, Station Agent, [The following letter is from a well-known 
druggist in Coxsackie, N. Y., who says he 
“feels as though it is impossible to say too 
much in praiseof Henry's Carbolic Salve."] 
Coxsackie, N. Y., Sept. 28, 1883. 
Messrs, yohn F. Henry &* Co., 
Gentlemen:—About two months ago my 
little boy, while playing in the yard, fell, 
striking on the sharp edge of a flag stone, 
and cut a very deep gash across nearly the 
whole length of his face. Doctors were 
called in immediately, the wound was sewed 
up and various plasters applied, all of which 
seemed to irritate and aggravate it more and 
more. Having sold your Henry's Carbolic 
Salve for a number of years, and having, 
also, used it in our family, I happened to 
think of its wonderful healing properties, 
and called the physician’s attention to it. 
After some persuasion he removed the plas- 
ters, showing a large gaping wound to which 
we applied Henry's Carbolic Salve, and 
from that time forward treated it with noth- 
ing else. From the very first it improved as 
if by magic, the Salve not only reducing the 
inflammation and allaying the pain, but 
healing from the bottom immediately ; and 
inside of ten days it was completely healed 
over, leaving a very little scar, which the 
doctors think he will outgrow, as he is now 
but two and a half years old. I am confident 
that had we used Henry's Carbolic Salve 
in the first place there would have been no 
scar at all. We look upon it as a great 
thing, and do not hesitate, whenever the 
opportunity offers, to call attention to it 
as it justly deserves. 
Respectfully yours, 
THOS. E. MARSH. 
PETROLEUM V. NASBY. 
D. R. Locke, Petroleum V. Nasby (Edi- 
tor “ Toledo Blade,”) writes : “I had on a 
forefinger of my right hand one of those 
pleasant pets, a “run around.” The finger 
became inflamed to a degree unbearable, 
and swollen to nearly twice its natural sire. 
A friend gave me Henry's Carbolic Salve, 
and in twenty minutes the pain had so much 
subsided as to give me a fair night’s rest, 
which I had not had before for a week. The 
inflammation left the finger in a day. I con- 
sider it a most valuable article for the 
household." 
ASK FOR HENRY’S CARBOLIC SALVE, AND TAKE NO OTHER. 
A Word More About Henry’s Carbolic Salve. 
If there is any one thing more especially annoying than another, it is that 
persistent eruption which breaks out on the face, and defies 
ordinary attempts to effectually eradicate. 
HENRY’S CARBOLIC SALVE, 
if faithfully applied, will sweep every unsightly spot from the face. Another 
annoyance is a sore that appears in the faces of children, usually the result 
of a cold or of other causes. HENRY’S CARBOLIC SALVE causes 
them to disappear as if by magic, and leaves the face smooth, clean and fair. 
Sometimes unpleasant and itching pimples appear on the arms and body. A 
faithful use of HENRY’S CARBOLIC SALVE will effectually drive them 
away.

With the engraved signature of John F. Henry. The Treatment of Insomnia. 
Dr. Thomas Legare, of Charleston, S. C., says: 
“First—Retire early. Two hours’ sleep before midnight are 
of more benefit to the body than double the number of hours 
in the day. 
“Second—Eat little, and always some hours before going 
to bed. Cold food only should be'taken for supper. 
“Third—The cares and burdens of the mind must be put 
aside; none should be brought to bed with us. Never read or 
study in bed. 
“Fourth—The bed-chamber should contain pure, sound air, 
and be roomy and high, if possible, and the windows should 
be always kept open, except in the night time. 
“Fifth—When in bed, endeavor to lie horizontally, with the 
head slightly raised. If there is any forced or constrained 
posture, making the body form an angle, circulation in the 
stomach is checked, and a free and uninterrupted circulation 
of the blood is defeated. 
“Sixth—It is improper to have a light burning in the bed- 
chamber during the night. Our senses should not be acted 
upon by external impressions. 
“Lastly—Endeavor to sleep not less than six or more than 
eight hours in the twenty-four- and we should endorse the 
well-known motto: 
“ ‘Early to bed and early to rise, 
Will make a man healthy, wealthy and wise.’ ” 
A Hot 'for Ironing Days.—Cuffs that are laundried at 
home often fail to please, because they are ironed out flat, and 
when the buttons are put in the cuffs blister and wrinkle. 
. This can be avoided if the laundress only knows how to iron 
the cuffs until they are perfectly dry, and then takes the broad 
end of the flat-iron, and, pressing very hard on the edge, 
places it at one end of the cuff, and slowly goes over the 
length of the cuff. The cuff will roll as the iron leaves it. 
This is so simple an operation that one is likely to succeed the 
first time she tries to do it. 
To make excellent lamp-wicks, all you have to do is to 
take one of the men’s soft felt hats that is fit only to be burned 
up, and utterly useless even to a tramp, cutting them into strips 
the width of your boughten lamp-wicks, and letting them soak 
in vinegar for a couple of hours, then drying them. You will 
find that you will have quite as good a lamp-wick as the woven 
ones, and that this piece of economy will stop one of the little 
leak holes of your domestic arrangements. DR. BARBER’S RED HORSE POWDERS. 
There is no question but this is the best in the market. It is not a mere “ food ” made 
of cheap and inert materials that serve to take the place of the ordinary food that the 
animal is accustomed to eat. but it is a Vegetable Medicine that acts at once upon the 
digestive organs, affording prompt relief in all diseases to which domestic animals are 
subject The powder is precisely the same as when made by Cyrus Brown, of Milton, Pa., 
and may be safely relied on for the cure of Coughs. Colds, Distemper, Heaves, Glanders, 
Yellow Water and for all general diseases of Horses, Cattle, Hogs, Sheep aad Poultry. 
It will increase the quantity and quality of milk, and will keep all kindsof stock in healthy 
condition. The great reputation which this powder has acquired is solely due to its 
intrinsic merit. There is no better medicine in the world for the above named complaints 
than Barber’s Red Horse Powders. It might with justice be called the Farmer’s Friend. 
It possesses four times the strength of other powders, therefore cures or fattens stock in 
one-fourth the time other powders do.

good. Some of my neighbors are also using 
it to advantage. It never fails. 
Yours very respectfully,

Hear what Jacob Krerncr, builder, con- 
tractor and one of the oldest and most 
reliable citizens of Milton, says of Red 
Horse Pozvders. “ Some days since I called 
on l)r. C. Brown, and told him that my 
hog had lost the use of his limbs, and 
another in a worse condition, and my horse 
had a chill and failed on his feed. The 
Red Horse Powders cured them all.” Dr. 
Brown can show more cures of all kinds 
of Stpck and Poultry than any other man 
in the United States, and Red Horse Pow- 
ders did it.

soiled linen exquisitely white. The ingredients are 4 pounds of sal-soda to 
1 pound of chloride of lime, and I gallon of water. Heat the sal-soda in a 
vessel over the fire ; add the water boiling ; boil the mixture ten minutes 
and then add the chloride of lime, having first reduced it to powder. When 
cold, bottle and cork the mixture. A teacupful will bleach quite a number 
of articles. 
WHAT IS A Lawful Fence?—As it is not generally known what the 
legislature has defined as a lawful fence, the following may be of• interest 
to farmers and stockmen : Three strands of barbed wire, with posts not 
farther apart than fifteen feet, with a board not less than four inches wide 
and one-half thick, hung to the top wire : or two strands of barbed wire and 
a board not less than five inches wide and one inch thick ; or two strands of 
barbed wire and a rail. When boards are used, three boards to be not less than 
five inches wide and one inch thick, or four rails ; if made of boards or rails, 
the parts to be not more than eight feet apart; when pickets are used, the 
pickets to be not more than six inches apart ; all fencing built within the 
provisions of this act shall not be less than four and a half feet high, and 
shall be deemed a lawful fence. HENRY’S CAKBOLIZED 
EXTRACT OF WITCH HAZEL AND ARNICA. 
A Family Medicine, for External Use Only. 
Carbolic Acid.—The purifying and healing properties of this ingredient 
are too well known to require any extended description in this place. The 
acid as prepared for use in our laboratory, is ABSOLUTELY PURE and health- 
ful ; and when employed in conjunction with the other ingredients, is of 
great value in curing contused and abraded surfaces of the skin, cuts, 
burns, flesh wounds and similar casualties. 
Witch Hazel.—This shrub possesses very marked medicinal properties, 
as a sedative and soothing remedy for inflammatory disorders. It is used as 
a remeditfl agent in a wide range of diseases, and is the favorite remedy of 
very man)'' physicians, not only in this country, but in Europe, for cutaneous 
disorders and accidental injuries. 
Arnica.—The Tincture made from the Arnica Flowers has long been in 
use as a remedy for Swellings, Bruises, Strains and similar maladies. Like 
the Ilamamelis, it is also a sedative, and acts with most satisfactory results 
whenever used. 
The Union of these and other ingredients is effected in such a manner as to 
secure the active properties of the Arnica, and ensure a preparation for the 
cure of Gout, Rheumatism, cYeuralgia, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, Bites of In- 
sects, Swellings, Bums, Wounds, Sores, Varicose Veins, Piles, and all other 
diseases of the skin, flesh, muscles, tendons and bones of the human system, 
where an external application is required, that has never been equalled. It is 
the actual prescription of a celebrated physician, and is used and endorsed 
by the medical profession as an article of most extraordinary merit.

BROOMS.—If brooms are wetted in boiling suds once a week they will 
become very tough, will not cut a carpet, and last much longer. 
PLANTS IN rooms will languish and finally die unless their leaves are 
kept free from dust and other impurities. It is not enough to water their 
roots. Plants breathe, perspire and feed through their foliage, and dirt 
retards the exercise of their functions. Use a feather brush to cleanse the 
leaves. 
Wasp Stings.—There can be no doubt that under certain conditions 
the sting of a wasp may prove very injurious or even dangerous to life. We 
are unable to endorse the opinion that there is no danger unless there be 
fear. It is quite possible that the sting of any insect capable of generating 
a poison may be fatal without the intervention of panic. The nervous sys- 
tem is in some of its states exceedingly susceptible of sudden impressions, 
which, as it were “stagger” the nerve centers by shock. The bites of small 
snakes probably act in this way, and the sting of a wasp may prove fatal in 
the same fashion. As to remedies, ammonia is of course the obvious 
recourse ; but almost anything “strong” in a popular sense will generally 
suffice to decompose and destroy an organic poison if instantly applied. 
This is why the juice of an onion answers the purpose. Anything equally 
pungent would do as well. EDEY’S 
CARBOLIC TROCHES 
For the Cure of Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Diphtheria, 
Scarlet Fever, Diseased Lungs, Asthma, 
Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Kid- 
neys, Worms, Dyspepsia. 
Edey’s Carbolic Troches stand unrivalled for their healing qualities, their 
certain and instantaneous action. They arrest decay at once. Hence, in cases 
of diseased Lungs, Tubercles or Tissues, decomposition is at once arrested. 
Parasites of every description are expelled by the use of these Troches ; and 
they should be used as a cure as well as a preventive of Cholera, Diarrhoea, 
Dysentery, Cholera Infantum, Miasmatic Fevers, Scarlet and Typhoid 
Fevers, etc. “Carbolic” is endorsed by the highest medical talent of the 
Old and New Worlds. No physician of any standing but will admit its vast 
importance to suffering humanity. 
The following testimony of their value was contributed to the Boston 
Journal of Chemistry by a lady : 
“ I think it was about ten years ago that 
I began to have serious trouble with my 
throat, especially at night; there was a 
constant irritation, which caused tickling 
and strangling on lying down. I tried vari- 
ous things, but nothing did much good, 
until I began to use Edey's Carbolic Tro- 
ches. I found that by putting one in my 
mouth, on going to bed, the tickling was 
prevented. One night one of my children, 
a boy nine years old, was coughing a good 
deal, and to save myself the trouble of get- 
ting up every hour to give the medicine, I 
put the box (a full one) under his pillow, 
and that was the last I knew of the matter 
until morning. The boy took the boxful 
during the course of the night, and routed 
a fearful cold by the means ; not a sign of 
it was left in the morning. A more fright- 
ened woman is not often seen than I was 
for a few minutes, but I soon found that 
not the least harm was done. In this way 
I learned that a cold could be cured by the 
Troches. I found, by trial, that one Tro- 
che would banish a cold, if taken when the 
very first symptoms appeared. If the cold 
got under way before it was possible to use 
the remedy, I ventured to give two at a 
cime. at intervals of half an hour.”

If a note is lost or stolen, it does not release the maker ; he 
must pay it, if the consideration for which it was given and 
the amount can be proven. 
Notes bear interest only when so stated. 
Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents, 
Each individual in a partnership is responsible for the whole 
amount of the debts of the firm, except in cases of special 
partnership. 
Ignorance of the law excuses no one. 
The law compels no one to do impossibilities. 
An agreement without consideration is void. 
A note made on Sunday is void. 
Contracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced. 
A note by a minor is void. 
A contract made with a minor is void. 
A contract made with a lunatic is void. 
A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a state of 
intoxication, cannot be collected. 
It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. 
Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. 
A receipt for money is not always conclusive. 
The acts of one partner bind all the rest. 
“ Value received” is usually written in a note, and should 
be ; but is not necessary. If not written it is presumed by 
law, or may be supplied by proof. 
The maker of an “ accommodation ” bill to note (one for 
which he has received no consideration, having lent his name 
or credit for the accommodation of the holder) is not bound to 
the person accommodated, but is bound to all other parties, 
precisely as if there was a good consideration. 
No consideration is sufficient in law if it be illegal in its 
nature. 
Checks or drafts must be presented during business hours; 
but in this country, except in case of banks, the time extends 
through the day and evening. 
If the drawee of a check or draft has changed his residence, 
the holder must use due or reasonable diligence to find him. 
If one who holds a check as payee or otherwise, transfers it 
to another, he has a right to insist that the check be presented 
that day, or, at the furthest, on the day following, 
A note indorsed in blank (the name of the indorser only 
written) is transferable by delivery, the same as if made pay- 
able to bearer. 
If the time of payment of a note is not inserted, it is held 
payable on demand. The time of payment of a note must not depend on a con- 
tingency. The promise must be absolute. 
A bill may be written upon any paper, or substitute for it, 
either with ink or pencil. 
The payee should be distinctly named in the note, unless it 
is payable to bearer. 
An indorsee has a right of action against all whose names 
were on the bill when he received it. 
If the letter containing a protest of non-payment be put into 
the post-office, any miscarriage does not affect the party giv- 
ing notice. 
Notice of protest may be sent either to the place of business 
or of residence of the party notified. 
The holder of a note may give notice of protest either to all 
the previous endorsers or only to one of them; in case of the 
latter, he must select the last indorser, and the last must give 
notice to the last before him, and so on. Each indorser must 
send notice the same day or the day following. Neither Sun- 
day nor legal holiday is to be counted in reckoning the time in 
which notice is to be given. 
The loss of a bill or note is not sufficient excuse for not giv- 
ing notice of protest. 
If two or more persons as partners are jointly liable on a 
note or bill, due notice to one of them is sufficient. 
If a note or bill is transferred as security, or even as pay- 
ment of a pre-existing debt, the debt revives if the bill or note 
be dishonored. 
An indorsement may be written on the face or back. 
An indorser rrfhy prevent his own liability to be sued by 
writing “ without recourse,” or similar words. 
All claims which do not rest upon a seal or judgment must 
be sued within six years from the time when they arise. 
Part payment of a debt which has passed the time of statu- 
tory limitation revives the whole debt, and the claim holds 
good for another period of six years from the date of such 
partial payment. 
A /erbal promise to pay, made without condition, is gener- 
ally held as sufficient to revive a claim otherwise shut out by 
the law of limitation. 
The Statute of Limitations does not avoid or cancel the 
debt, but only provides that no action in law may be main- 
tained after a given time. The statute does not affect collat- 
eral security. 
An oral agreement must be proved by evidence. A written 
agreement proves itself. The law prefers written to oral evi- 
dence, because of its precision. If a debtor owe several debts, and pay a sum of money to 
the creditor, he has the right to designate the particular debt 
to which the payment shall apply, and the creditor must so 
appropriate it. c 
If, when a debt is due, the debtor is out of the state, the “ six 
years ” do not begin to run until he returns. If he afterward 
leave the state, the time forward counts the same as if he 
remained in the state. 
Except in the case of absence from the state, the “six years” 
begin when the bill or account is due. In case of note they 
count from the close of the “ three days of grace.”- In case of 
note on demand, they count from the time of the demand. 
No evidence may be introduced to contradict or vary a writ- 
ten contract; but it may be received in order to explain it, 
when such contract is in need of explanation. 
Written instruments are to be construed and interpreted by 
the law according to the simple, customary and natural mean- 
ing of the words used. 
The finder of negotiable paper, as of all other property, 
must make reasonable efforts to find the owner, before he is 
entitled to appropriate it for his own purposes. If the finder 
conceal it, he is liable to the charge of larceny or theft. 
Joint payees of a bill or note, who are not partners, must all 
join in an endorsement. 
One may make a note payable to his own order and indorse 
it in blank. He must then write his name upon its back or 
across its face, the same as any other indorser. 
After the death Of a holder of a bill or note, his executor or 
administrator may transfer it by his indorsement. 
The husband who acquires the right to a bill or note which 
was given to the wife either before or after marriage, may 
indorse it. 
Acceptance applies to bills and not to notes. It is an 
engagement on the part of the person on whom the bill is 
drawn to pay it according to its tenor. The usual way is to 
write across the face of the bill the word “accepted.” 
Meat may be kept several days, in the height of summer,

A CLEAR HEAD. 
A cool, clear head is indispensable to success in this world. Catarrh is 
the cause of more failures in business than most people are aware of. 
The most desirable remedy for catarrh—one that has no equal, in fact—is 
DURNO’S CATARRH SNUFF. 
It strengthens the sight, improves the hearing, is beneficial in curing 
Bronchitis, and purifies the breath. It cures Nervous Headache, contains no 
tobacco, is highly aromatic, and produces a sensation of relief and delight 
after using it. 
The New York State Diploma was awarded to James Duma for “ The 
Best Catarrh Remedy of the Age.” 
POPULAR WANTS. 
Among the many “wants” for which the public voice has clamored—wants which have 
been paraded in newspaper columns, wants that have been eagerly sought to be supplied 
by private research—no single want among the many—has found more anxious seekers, 
than a something, no matter what, that would effect a safe, speedy and certain cure of 
that most disagreeable complaint. Catarrh—more commonly known “ as a cold in the 
head.” One man meets you and tells you that he has a violent cold in the head, and can 
neither speak, see, smell or hear ; another that his eyes are inflamed, and his vision ob- 
structed ; a third, that he is suddenly afflicted with deafness, and a disagreeable singing 
noise in his ears ; a fourth, that violent shooting pains in his head, and a sensation of 
giddiness preclude his attending to business—all of which denote the presence of Catarrh 
in some form or another, and all of which find immediate relief, and a speedy, permanent 
cure, by using Durno's Catarrh Snuff, a discovery which applies the remedy in an 
agreeable form to the seat of the disease.

Produces a gradual and imperceptible change to even and natural color. 
Price 50. Cents. 
CONVENIENCE:—The Dye is put up in a single bottle, which is complete 
in itself, and which avoids the inconvenience and labor of applying several 
liquids. 
NATURALNESS:—This Dye, if judiciously applied, will not produce a 
burnt black, metallic appearance, but the result will be perfectly natural, so 
that its use cannot be detected. 
CHEAPNESS:—There is no good hair dye in the market, put up in as large 
bottles as the Russian Hair Dye, that is sold at so low a price. It can also be 
used as a WHISKER DYE, and possesses all the advantages, virtues and 
properties of the best Whisker Dye ever made. It is Warranted. 
How TO HANDLE Kerosene.—Kerosene becomes more deadly every 
year as the hours of evening lamp-light lengthen and the frequent lighting 
of fires becomes a daily duty. The fact that these accidents are utterly 
unnecessary renders them the more lamentable. In the hope of preventing 
some of these accidents, we state a few facts which everybody ought to know. 
x.—It is not the kerosene that explodes, but an invisible gas that rises 
from it. 
2. —If oil is poured into a lamp that needs filling, the gas rises out of the 
lamp or the can, or both, and explodes, often with deadly force, if there be 
any fire within reach. 
3. —Pouring oil from a can upon a burning fire or into a lighted lamp 
ought to be followed by a terrible explosion. Sometimes it happens that no 
explosion occurs, but the risk is frightful. 
4. —The only safe rule is never to pour oil on a burning fire or into a 
lighted lamp. 
Now you may give Bridget the most positive orders with regard to the 
fires, but when no one is at hand in the early morning hours the temptation 
is too strong to assist the smouldering blaze by the aid of a little kerosene. 
She has done it without injury formerly, why not again ? So the nose of the 
can is tilted over the range or grate, there is a flash, a scream, and poor 
Bridget will never have another chance to disobey orders. Perhaps it would 
be better, if Bridget must be allowed access to the can at all—the suggestion 
is timidly made—to show her how she may aid the fire with comparative 
safety. All she has to do is to pour a spoonful or two of the oil into a cup 
or something of the kind, and, setting the can down at a safe distance, pour 
the oil from the cup upon the fire. It is not likely that she will suffer much 
injury from the comparatively mild explosion that may fellow. COMFORT AND RELIEF FOR THE AFFLICTED WILL BE FOUND IN

yokn F. Henry Co., 
Gentlemen:—For nearly a quarter of a 
century I have used your DeWitt C. Kel- 
lineer's Liniment for myself and friends, 
and never yet have missed relief and cure 
of sprains, bruises, &c. I could go on for a 
half hour telling you of the relief and cures 
resultant from its use. A friend of mine 
was in New York two weeks ago, and being 
a little late for the Brooklyn ferryboat, ran 
to leap on board, but was caught by the strap 
of his ulster, and was thrown violently on 
the wheel that winds the boat to the dock. 
I heard of his injury and at once took a bot- 
tle of old “ Tried and True,” and went for 
him. The result was, that although I found 
him in bed, bolstered up with pillows, in 
three days he was down to his office, and 
rushing towards me exclaimed, “Anything 
you want you can have—if you want to bor- 
row a hundred dollars you can have it.” I 
said, “You had better jump over the rail- 
ing.” “ I can do it,” said he, and he did.

A Pocket Thread and Needle Case.—Cut four pieces of Russian 
leather (or birch bark if you have it) of equal size, four inches long and two 
inches wide, of an egg shape. Line each piece with silk and bind with nar- 
row ribbon matching the lining in color. “ Overhand ” the pieces together 
on the light side, making three seams, and leaving an opening between two 
of the pieces. Finish the ends with little bows of ribbon. 
NOVEL Hanging Basket.—A most beautiful and fragrant growth for a 
window may be obtained by soaking a sea sponge in warm water and sowing 
in its cells the seeds of umbrageous grasses and wild flowers, with here and 
there the delicate fern and creeping wild berry known as mock strawberry. 
The hanging may be done by a girded rod or ornamental cords. The 
sponge may be kept moist and distended by daily sprinkling with blood- 
warm water. The sponge thus treated is lighter, prettier and more surely 
verdant than any other spring basket. Population of the Principal Cities in the United States.

BEAUTIFUL Tribute TO Women.—We have seen many beautiful trib- 
utes to lovely woman, but the following is the finest we ever read : “ Place 
her among the flowers, foster her as a tender plant, and she is a thing of 
fancy, waywardness, and folly—annoyed by a dew-drop, fretted by the touch 
of a butterfly’s wing, ready to faint at the sound of a beetle or the rattling of 
a window-sash at night, and is overpowered by the perfume of a rosebud. 
But let real calamity come, rouse her affections, enkindle the fires of her 
heart, and mark her then—how strong is her heart? Place her in the heat of 
battle—give her a child, a bird, or anything to protect—and see her in a rel- 
ative instance, lifting her white arms as a shield, as her own blood crimsons 
her upturned forehead, praying for her life to protect the helpless. Trans- 
plant her in the dark places of the earth, call forth her energies to action, 
and her breath becomes a healing, her presence a blessing. She disputes 
inch by inch the strides of a stalking pestilence, when man, the strong and 
brave, pale and affrighted, shrinks away. Misfortune hurts her not; she 
wears away a life in silent endurance, and goes forth with less timidity than 
to her bridal. Jn prosperity she is a bud full of odors, waiting but for the 
winds of adversity to scatter them abroad—gold, valuable, but untried in 
the furnace. In short, woman is a miracle, a mystery, the center from which 
radiates the charm of existence.” 
PREVENT Mould.—To prevent mould on the top of glasses of jelly, lay 
a lump of paraffine on the top of the hot jelly, letting it melt and spread over 
it. No brandy paper and no other covering is necessary. If preferred, the 
paraffine can be melted and poured over after the jelly is cold. DR. BAKER’S PAIN PANACEA 
FOR MAN AND BEAST, 
Cures all Pains, Cholera, Cholera Morbus, Sprains, Bruises, Borns, 
Wounds, Swellings, Lumbago, Frost Bites, Rheuma- 
tism, Neuralgia, and all similar disorders. 
Dr. J. B. Staples of Williaimstown, Vt., 
writes, “ that a single trial brought relief,” 
and he is now permanently cured of rheu- 
matism by Baker s Pain Panacea." 
B. F. Mumma, Dorchester, Saline Co., 
Neb., Sept. 30. i83o, says: “The diph- 
theria is prevalent here, and we use Dr. 
Baker's Pain Panacea and find it has no 
equal in the cure of that disease.” 
Mr. H. Monsler, of Pierceville, lnd., 
says that Baker's Pain Panacea cured his 
wile of ulcerated sore throat. 
BOUQUETS of DRIED GRASSES may be made exceedingly ornamental by

—and arranging them in tasteful contrast. 
RUSTIC Box.—Line a cigar box with silk, and fasten an upright piece of 
thick card-board, cut in any style to suit the fancy, to the back. Cover this 
back piece with strips of grape-vine bark neatly glued on, and in like manner 
cover the box with twigs of Norway spfuce, first scraping off their green 
spikes or leaves. Ornament with acorns, parts of pine cones, and leather 
leaves, secured to the box with slender brads and glue. Varnish the whole 
with shellac, of about the consistency of New Orleans molasses. 
DR. ROGER’S VEGETABLE WORM SYRUP, 
Tlie Great Remedy for Destroying Worms. 
Two things are desirable in a worm medicine ; first, that it should be pala- 
table, and second, that it should be effectual in expelling worms. A medi- 
cine may be efficacious, but if it is so nauseous and disagreeable that children 
only take it on compulsion, and after it is taken, cannot retain it on the stom- 
ach, the medicine can do no possible good. Dr. Roger’s Worm Syrup 
is purely vegetable. It is delightfully palatable ; and as to its efficacy we 
have only to call attention to the many certificates of cures in our possession.

Gents :—The Dr. Roger s Worm Syrup 
which we had from you is gone, and we are 
rejoiced to say that it has given satisfaction. 
We sold a bottle to a customer for one of his 
children, and a younger child got hold of the 
spoon and took what remained, on account 
of its pleasant taste, and strange to say, the 
small portion which it took brought worms. 
LOWELL & PURCELL. 
Elizabeth, Spencer Co., Ind. 
Gentlemen :—I have dealt in medicine a 
number of years, and will say that Dr. Rog~ 
er's Vegetable Worm Syrup is the most 
valuable medicine I ever sold. My custo- 
mers were so pleased with its effects that 
they purchased a number of bottles to have 
it on hand. It is all that it is recommended 
to be. Yours respectfully, 
CHAS. JONES. What can be Done with a Tidy.—Take off the tassels, 
fold the corners so as to meet in the centre, and finish off with 
a bow, and the tidy is converted into a pretty handkerchief 
holder. To make a lamp mat of it, fold back the corners half 
way. 
The best wool grows on the sheep’s shoulders. In select- 
ing breeders examine this first, then clasp the wool on the ribs, 
rump and breast, and if it is nearly like that on the shoulders, 
the animal is even-wooled. A good wooled sheep has an 
abundant fleece on the belly, and no long hairs on the thighs. 
To Change the Colors of Flowers.—Place pulverized 
charcoal an inch thick on the surface of the earth in flower 
pots containing rose bushes, violets or petunias, and the effect 
will be to render the best of the roses more gorgeous, to varie- 
gate the petunias with red or purple, and to spot the violets 
with a darker blue. 
Advice to Wives.—Wives often regret that their husbands 
do not talk to them. This is not the place to discuss the 
shortcomings of a man, but sometimes when we have listened 
to the fault-findings, the garrulous repetitions, frivolous details, 
the childish exactions of sympathy and attention with which 
some women bore their husbands when they are overburdened 
and anxious with care and work, we have not wondered that 
some men grow taciturn in their homes. But' it is a great loss 
if a man is silent among his wife and children. The husband 
and wife live so much of the time in a different world that a 
free intercourse can be a great help and pleasure to each of 
them. You will not be likely to make a man talk by telling 
him that he ought to talk, or scolding him because he does not 
do so. Make it a pleasure for him to talk with you. Exer- 
cise good sense, good temper, and tact in drawing him out on 
topics of interest to himself. Be patient under his moods of 
silence. Be deserving the companionship of a sensible man. 
Avoid talking of persons, or insignificant details concerning 
yourself or your work. Have something interesting or valu- 
able to say. The story of your child’s prattle may be full of 
interest. The number of pies you have made or the rooms 
you have swept may not be worth repeating. Cultivate the 
graces of character, speech, and tones of voice, and you may 
find that the man who was glad to escape from the loquacious, 
complaining, exacting woman, goes reluctantly from her who 
knows when to talk and when to be silent, “ who denieth her 
mouth with wisdom, and in whose tongue is the law of kind- 
ness.” DR MOTT’S LIVER PILLS.

Mr. Ashabel P. Clark, of Rockaway, N. 
J.. writes to us on his recovery from Rheu- 
matic Fever as follows “ I want you to 
send me twenty boxes of Mott's Liver Pills. 
I think they are the best ever made. While 
in California 1 suffered more than two years 
with fever I tried almost everything, and 
finally was induced to try Mott s Pills, and 
in a short time was completely cured ” 
Mr. James Cobb, of Indianapolis, Ind., 
referring to a beloved daughter, says , “She 
has been troubled with Liver Complaint; 
but our doctor failed to give her any relief. 
She has become melancholy, unhappy, and 
her constitution was much broken by the 
use of mercury. She tried Dr. Mott's Liv- 
er Pills and soon began to get better. She 
has now entirely recovered her health.

At A MICROSCOPIC EXHIBITION in Boston the sting of a honey bee was 
shown upon the screen, and it was so sharp that the point could not be seen. 
A fine sewing-needle was shown at the same time, and the point with the 
same power of the microscope was five inches across. “ God'can make a 
fine point, said the exhibitor, “but man cannot.” 
Far FROM TREES in streets impeding the circulation of air, they help to 
purify it; the evaporation from their leaves determine a current from above, 
and the fresh air thus brought down assists in driving away the heated and 
dust impregnated gases of the streets. Another useful property of foliage 
is that, while in hot, dry weather it moistens the surrounding atmosphere, 
thus rendering it fitter to breathe, this effect, which is due to# evaporation, 
ceases in wet weather. 
DR. TOWN8LEY»8 
Indian Vegetable Toothache Anodyne 
IS PURELY A VEGETABLE PREPARATION, 
’Vhich is warranted to cure the toothache in one minute, when caused by- 
decay in the tooth. It will cure scurvy on the gums. It will harden 
the gums and cause them to adhere to the teeth. It will cure gum 
boils, heal and remove all soreness of the gums. It will 
sweeten the breath. It will be found valuable for 
children cutting teeth or having swollen gums. 
Is perfectly harmless. 
This preparation contains no poisonous acids or mineral substances whatever. 
It has been extensively used, with universal satisfaction in all cases. 
Who would suffer with this most distressing affliction, when one 
twenty-five cent bottle will cure instantaneously? 
Mr. John D. Park, corner of Fourth and 
Walnut streets, Cincinnati, Ohio, says : “I 
have been selling Dr. Townsley's Indian 
Toothache Anodyne for 25 years past, at 
wholesale and retail. It has had a large 
sale and gives satisfaction. I regard it as 
the best remedy for toothache in the mar- 
ket. It is pleasant to use, gives immediate 
relief, and is not injurious to the teeth.” 
Mr. Thomas Phillips, pilot “Major An- 
derson,” Cincinnati, Ohio, says: “Having 
suffered severely with the toothache, caus- 
ed by a decayed tooth, which troubled me 
for a long time without being able to get 
relief, I was induced to try your Indian 
Toothache Anodyne, which cured me in- 
stantly, and I have not been troubled since. 
It is now several years since I used it. 
PRICE 25 CENTS PER BOTTLE. To Remove an Acid Stain on Violet Silk.—Brush the 
discoloration with tincture of iodine, then saturate the spot 
well with a solution of hypo-sulphite of soda, and dry gradu- 
ally. This restores the original color perfectly. 
To Bleach Flannel.—Flannels that have become yellow 
from being badly washed may be nicely whitened by soaking 
them two or three hours in a lather made of one-quarter of a 
pound of soft soap, two tablespoonfuls of powdered borax, and 
two tablespoonfuls of carbonate of ammonia, dissolved in five 
or six gallons of water. 
Fruit in Tin Cans.—The fruit put up in tin cans should be 
taken out when the can is opened for use. If allowed to re- 
main after the can is opened, the action of acid juices upon 
the tin when exposed to the air may form acetate of tin, which 
is poisonous. Pour the fruit out into glass or earthenware 
dishes, and the danger of poisoning is avoided. 
Cheap Paint to Exclude Moisture.—Pitch, 50 lbs.; rosin, 
30 lbs.; red ochre, 6 lbs.; finely powdered brick-dust, 12 lbs. 
Boil these together with constant stirring ; and removing from 
the fire, add turpentine (spirits) until of a suitable consistence 
to apply with a brush. It will require from to 3 gallons 
of spirits of turpentine. This spread on the walls of buildings 
which are exposed will prevent absorption of moisture by the 
bricks and mortar. 
Danger in Soap.—Mothers and nurses cannot be too care- 
ful about the soap they use on the little ones. But few physi- 
cians know how many of the so-called skin diseases among 
children are caused by the use of adulterated, poisonous soap. 
An analysis of several cakes of the pretty and perfumed toilet 
soaps that are sold on the streets showed the presence of 
ground glass, silex, pipe-clay, rotten stone, borax, plaster of 
Paris, tin crystals, magnesia, pomice stone, oat meal and other 
substances, which are added to give the soap wreight, hardness, 
toughness or clearness. The common colorings are vermilion, 
Venetian red and carmine, ultramarine green, pot pigment 
green, copperas, Spanish brown, ultramarine blues, yellow and 
scarlet analines and burnt umber. Many of the perfuming 
ingredients, though harmless in themselves, become chemically 
poisonous by admixture. Adding the dangers from all these 
to the rancid, diseased, putrid qualities of grease used, moth- 
ers may well be appalled at the permanent evils these neat- 
looking, delicately-scented blocks of toilet soap contain, ready 
to be released whenever moistened and applied to the babe’s 
body. THE GREAT NEW ENGLAND REMEDY. 
TDDL. GBEBIT’S 
Oxygenated Bitters 
Tate Care of the STOMACH and the HEAD will take care of Itself. 
Dr. Green’s Oxygenated Bitters are not intended as a beverage. 
When the stomach is diseased it only aggravates the mischief to pour alcohol 
into it. It is like applying sulphuric acid to a cut or wound. The stomach 
is a delicate organ, and when out of order needs careful treatment. 
OXYGENATED BITTERS CONTAIN NO ALCOHOL. 
They are a gentle tonic and purely medicinal stimulant, and stand 
unequalled as a remedy for Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Costiveness, Loss of 
Appetite, Sick Headache, and all the numerous ills the stomach is heir to. 
Norwalk, Conn., July 30, 1881. 
Messrs. John F. Henry Co., 
Gentlemen:—I cheerfully send you the 
following testimonial of my experience in 
the use of Dr. Green's Oxygenated Bit- 
ters. After suffering some two years from 
dyspepsia and getting no permanent relief 
from any medicines prescribed by a number 
of physicians, both in town and from New 
York City, a friend of mine who had used 
the Bitters and been entirely cured of the 
same disease urged me to try them, which I 
did, and began on the second bottle to feel 
very much improved. I continued using the 
Bitters regularly for a short time, then 
occasionally for slight attacks of indigestion 
until cured. The past year and a half I 
have enjoyed good health and had no occa- 
sion for using any medicine whatever. 
CHAS. F. SHERWOOD. 
Dr. Henry E. Morrill, N.Y., says; “I have 
used Oxygenated Bitters in a multitude of 
cases, and have uniformly found that, when 
used according to directions, they safely re- 
move the various distressing symptoms which 
cluster around the confirmed dyspeptic.” 
Norwalk, Conn., July 30, 1881. 
Messrs, John F. Henry Co., 
Gentlemen:—Some years ago I was suf- 
fering severely from dyspepsia, and a neigh- 
bor recommended Green's Oxygenated 
Bitters as a remedy for the complaint. I 
consulted my physician, Dr. Lynes, of this 
place, and he spoke highly of the Bitters, 
and the result was that I got a bottle and 
commenced using them. I experienced im- 
mediate relief. Two or three bottles effected 
a permanent cure. I regard the Oxygen- 
ated Bitters as one of the best remedies 
for Dyspepsia and Indigestion I have ever 
known. I keep it always in the house as a 
family medicine. One or two doses always 
effect a cure of indigestion or any similar 
disorder of the stomach. I have recom- 
mended it to many of my friends with the 
most satisfactory results. 
GEO. M. HOLMES. 
Prof. C. S. Vedder, Union College, Sche- 
nectady, N. Y., says: “Before I finished 
the second bottle, from being a burden, life 
became an exquisite enjoyment.”

When I DIG a man out of trouble, the hole that he leaves behind him is

To PRESERVE Bouquets.—Put a little saltpetre in the water you use 
for your bouquets and the flowers will live for a fortnight. 
Canned Cider.—Cider may be preserved perfectly sweet for years, by 
putting it up in air-tight cans, like those used for preserving fruit. 
Preparing New Linen for Embroidery.—New linen maybe embroi- 
dered more easily by rubbing it over with fine white soap, which prevents 
the threads from cracking. 
RIBBONS AND SILKS should be put away for preservation in brown paper; 
the chloride of lime in white paper discolors them. A white satin dress 
should be pinned up in blue paper with brown paper outside, s'ewn together 
at the edges. 
A Silver Tree.—Dissolve 20 grains of nitrate of silver in 1 fluid ounce 
of water in a phial, and add a drachm of pure quicksilver. Suspend a 
piece of zinc in the solution, and the silver will be precipitated upon it, 
forming a beautiful silver shrub or tree. 
The SIMPLEST invisible inks are lemon juice, milk, onion juice, and 
salt and water. Love letters written with these fluids are perfect blanks, 
until the tender words are brought out in brown or yellow by holding the 
billet-doux before the fire. 
When ivory ORNAMENTS become yellow or dusky, wash them well in 
soap and water with a small brush, to clean the carvings, and then place 
them, while wet, in the sunshine. Wet them with soapy water for two or 
three days, several times a day, still keeping them in the sunshine; then 
wash them again and they will be perfectly white. 
Ladies WHO spend their summers in the country or by the sea-side 
will be glad to know that the swelling and irritation occasioned by mosquito 
bites, or by the stings of wasps, bees or spiders, are immediately arrested by 
the application of a solution of equal parts of common salt and bi-carbonate 
of soda in warn>-<^T^^[)| gfc rubbed in. But what is more 
effectual, as more delightful, vuse Phalon's Paphian Lotion. CONSUMPTION CONQUERED. 
The cheering fact that Consumption is not necessarily a fatal 
malady is at last recognized by the observant members of 
the medical profession, as well as by the public at 
large. The Experience of Thirty - Five 
Years has proved to the satisfaction 
of the people of America that 
DR. wm:. 
HALL’S BALSAM FOB THE LIGS 
IS AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY, 
Not only for all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, which, if 
neglected, usually terminate in Tubercular Consumption or 
Chronic Bronchitis, but also for both these terrible scourges 
of the human race, if resorted to before the resistant power of 
the vital system has been utterly prostrated. The operation of 
this wonderful pulmonic is twofold. Its powerful tonic and vi- 
talizing properties tend to Strengthen the Patient’s Hold 
on Life, while its direct effect is to neutralize the inflamma- 
tory and pustulous principle in the blood, by which virulent 
diseases of the Lungs, the Windpipe and the Bronchial Tubes 
are produced and fostered. 
Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs 
Is, in fact, the Only Safe and Reliable Cure for 
Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Croup, Hoarse- 
ness, Whooping Cough, Asthma, Pneu- 
monia, Bronchial Irritation, 
And all acute affections of the air-passages, the Chest, the Pleura, and the 
Lungs. It contains no opium nor other deleterious drug and can be safely 
administered to the most debilitated adult or the most delicate child. It 
strikes at the very root of pulmonary disease, and a few doses will literally 
cure an ordinary cough or cold inside of forty-eight hours. 
The array of proofs establishing the efficacy of Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam 
for the Lungs in every species of disorder with which the Breathing Organs 
are effected covera period of THIRTY-FIVE YEARS, and constitute a mass 
of genuine evidence which no man will venture to question or impugn. 
Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Dungs is the old and Reliable Cure for 
Pulmonary Diseases.—Si.00 PER BOTTLE,
