The Resurrection, or Persian PiNs.

The name of these pills originated from the cir.
cumstance of the medicine being found only in the
ccmetaries of Persia. This vegetable production
being of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. In half CEN
tury it became established medicine for the dis
eases Of that country. The extract of this singu-
lar production was introduced into parts of Eu
rope in the year l7s3 and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain Diseases where all 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1892, the extract was combined with certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able efectof this compound upon the human sys-
TEN, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their unver-
sal and healing virtues, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the glandular
part of the system, such as will sustain their re-
Putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie,

It is now a settled point with all who have used
the Vegetable Persian Pills that they are pre-emi-

family could become acquainted with their Sover-

Ii is to be regretted that so little attention
is paid to the proper shelterlng of cattle in
country. One would naturally suppose that
the interest of owners would point out
proper course; and that one systematzed,
and the advantages of strictly attending to
the comfort and convenience of our cattle
made manifest, even to the most sceptlcal,
that whole neighborhoods would adopt the
system, and that, in a reasonable length OF
time, it would very extensively, if not uni
versally, prevail. 1t is lamentable to say
that this is not the case. For some reason
or other, which | have not as yet been able
to ascertain, Improvements make but slow
advances among our farmers. 1t may be,
that they consider Improvements as lnnOva-
tons IN those customs which have "grown

was at the battle of the Thames, lately gave
in the U. S. Hotel in this city, through an
Interpreter, full account Of the death of
Tecumseh. Tecumseh was very brave,

He thought his wound was mortal, and told
his warriors that, as he must die, there could
be no risk in his rushing forward to kill Col,

Another Indian in company, whom Shaw
bench said was but boy at the time oil the
battle. interrupted him to say that his man
and tail were black. The day, he with ma
nv others, and this boy, went upon the field
of battle and saw Tecumseh's body there
and by the side of it another Indian whose
skin had been taken off. He said he had
heard Of this SKINS having been exhibited
as that Of Tecumseh. They might think
so--but it was not. Tecumseh's body had
not been touched Here some one asked him
where and how they buried him. This arous
