COMPOUND SYRUP OF
LiverwOrt and Tar.
THE HISTORY OF THIS MEDICINE

THE HISTORY OF THIS MEDICINE
is briefly told. II is prepared mostly from a Re.
cipe furnished by the late distinguished Professor
Rogers, after many years Of investigation and
research, aud is the one employed by him in his
own practice, and that occasioned his unpsrallel-
led success in curing all complaints Of the Throat
and Lungs. For four years past, the proprietors
have been putting up DR.. Rogers Compound
Syrup Of Lire,7UOrt and Tar, in Cincinnati,
Ohio. From this point, it has been distributed
extensively over all the western and south west.
ern states Hence the reason why SO many of
our Certificates are dated at Cincinnati, where
the medicine is best knOton, and has been most
July tested. The first year, its sales amounted
only to about 1000 bottles; but such was its as-
tonishing success in curing the complaints Tor
which it is recommended, that it SOON acquired
an immense popularity, and the present year its
sales will exceed $50, 900 bottles. l9 ~.
Nor is the demand for it confined to the west.
ern states. Its reputation is spreading over the
whole Union. Although il has never been adver.
tised at all. or even offeie ed for sale in New Eng
land. the proprietors have this day received an
order from Bangor, Me. A few days since, they
received one from Lowell, Mass also one from
Palmyra, N. Y, and another from Columbus.
Geo. Aud il is because the demand for this med.
icine from abroad is so great that the proprietors
cannot supply il from Cincinnati, that they have
now entered into extensive arrangements for man.

THINNING FRUIT.-The New England
Farmer observes, in relation TO thinning
fruit:
One peach grower Informed US that he
had taken off two thirds Of bis peaches, and
as they increased in size, and appeared toe
thick en- the trees, he said he was sorry
that he had not AIKEN off one half Of the
other third. One msn complained to bis
neighbor, that certain variety of The peach
which his friend had advised him To cuiu
vate, was poor. stop your compl,Inl,"
was the reply, ''until you sell your fruit
He raised on one tree three dozen of peach
es, sold them "a, TWO dollars per dozen, and
was satisfied.
This, il is true, was an extreme case, but
The evils of overwhelming, contrasied with
the benefits of thinning. can only be under
stood bv actual trial. The culIiyator may
be aware thai, by reducing the number, one
hundred specimens may fiji! his basket,
where two hundred are required from an
over loaded tree, but until he actually tastes
and compares the TWO products, he cannot
appreciate the incomparably superior quall-
tv of The former.
Many are deferred from thinning their feu,
bv The slow and tedious nature of the ope-
falion-but very expeditions way, more
particularly applicable TO the peach, is to
shorten in the shoot-cutting off one half
or lwo-lhrds OF all one sessons's growth.
