ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE,

fHlLADELPHlA, Apfu 3, lo4O. Il
Last August year, caught violent cold, in
consequence Of getting wet in a shower Of rain.
A circumstance SO common gave me no immediate
concern, supposing that should soon get rid ofit.
On the contrary, however, daily grew worse; q
violent cough set in, then pain, in my breast and
between my shoulders, now suffered great OPP
preston from the great secretion of purulent mat
ter in my lungs, became greatly alarmed; and
my friends considered my situation extremely
critical, the more so as loss Of appetite, hectic
fever, and night sweats rendered me as weak as
child, and at night the sweat literally poured of
me! This was my condition when commenced
using g Thomson's Compound Syrup Of Tar and
Wood Naphtha. 'o procured one bottle, and ex-
perenced so much benefit that Iresolved to con-
tinue il. II is now six months since Iceased using
the medicine, and the cure remains perfect
firmly believe this medicine is far SUPERIOR To
every other remedy for Consumption Of the Lungs

CoLLETON BITTERs.

NHESE Bittersi are pureiyG vegetable com
u pound, and are offered to the public from 1
principle Of benevoence, under the fullest convic-
ton that they will be found "a safe and sovereign
-emedy for Dyspepsia They have been ltrium
,hantly tested, not only BY some Of tho most re-
'pectable families and physicians in the State OF
South Carolina, who have furnished ample tesi-
ony to their decided excellence, but also BY the
proprietor, who, for ten years, suffered all the gloom
Inodent to that stubborn and distressing disease.
B They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bitters Of not proving injurious by con-
ltnucd use. They contain not single deleierious
ingredient, and, as from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month. II 6i,o1 ah

as to cause apprehension that he would expire in

that / take this method of giving my testimony Of
the great estimation which entertain for your in
valuable compound In justice not only to the me-
dicine but for the benefit of others who may be euf-
fering from the same malady Dyspepsia, with which
was for years afflicted, feel it duty incumbent
on me to state that am now restored 10 perfect
health. When commenced taking the Colleton
Bitters it was last resort. My debility from in
digestion was 20 great that cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking il regularly and
perseveringly for some time, my strength and di-
gestive powers were entirely restored. have never
taken single dose of any other medicine for more
than FIVE years past can now eat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. have
also used Colleton Biters freely in my family for
cholera ssfcnsum, cholera morbus, general debility
and as tonic after fever, with great success. AS
family medicine deem it invaluable, and do con.
scien,iously recommend it. iita

From the Ohio CuEivotOr.1
MODE OF CLEANING WHEAT FOR SEED
KILLING RATs.-As the wheat crop this
season 10 unusually foul, Astounding in chess
and cookie, | will, with your permission,
make known to the readers of your paper q
plan have adopted for cleaning my whea'
Tor several years past with much success.
After passing the wheat once through lhe
windmill in the ordinary way, take a com.
mon newspaper o fgood quality and place il
double over two.thirds of the surface Of the
fine riddle, leaving one third on about four
inches Of the front side uncovered. ON
good tough paper will last long enough to
clean 100 bushels ifthe grain is not damp.
The operation is as follows: The grain,
on falling through the coarse riddle on a.
the paper, Accommodates Il certain quantity
before Il will begin to fall over the margin
ofthe paper; by this means the cookie /.
carried forward SO as to fall on the front { &
the screen, and thus have a chance to run
the whole length of it, and is more likely TO
fall through, and while the chess and white
caps, being lighter than the wheat, as they
fall over the margin ofthe paper, are mostly
blown out in front Of the mill, and the chess
that is not blown out runs the whole length
OF the screen and seldom escapes falling
through. Care must be taken to give the
riddle ITS proper inclination, and the mill
must stand level, so that the grain will fall
evenly over the margin Of the paper.
To farmers whose grain is foul, | would
say, clean your wheat for seed twice or
thrice according to the above plan and il
there is still an occasional grain Of cookie
in it, Pass through your fields next ummer
when the plant is 10 blossom and o little
labor will eradicate it.
Killing RGs.-This is another sore pest TO
the wheat farmer, and | propose to give a
sure plan for catching them. If you have
q gralnery or tight room about the out,
buildings, bore a hole in some back corner
where you can have access for closing it
without being perceived, then spread a lii.
tie wheat On the floor, and after one or two
rights the varmints will all assemble there
for a Qualification, when they can be easily
entrapped by closing the hole. About II or
l2O'clock is the best time to trap them.
This is good fun for the boys.
Yours &C., HENRY MILLER.
