f you have contracted the terrible disease
i which, when once seated in the system, will
surely go dow, from one generatian 10 another,
undermining the constitution and sapping the
very vital fluids Of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day
in city like this, and fill the papers with glar-
ing fafsehoods, too well calculated to deceive the
young, those not acquainted with their tricks.
You cannot be too careful in the selection of a
remedy in these cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounc-
ed by eminent physicians the greatest remedy
ever known. 1t is il medicine perfectly pleas
ant in its taste, and very innocent in its action
and yet so thorough that it anihilates every
particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this

SouAsHEs. Summer squashes, If very
young, may be boiled without pairing; il
not, they should be pared, qnartered, and
the seeds taken out When boiled very
tender, take, them up, put them in q

them, and season with butter, pepper, and
salt. The neck partsof the winter squash

Keep Fruit Trees Straight.

Trees in an open exposure often acquire
a leaning position from the. prevailing
Winds. This should not be suffered be-
yond certain stage of the, tree. When
as large as ones wrist they should be set
|up erect, and, indeed, thrown into the
wind at, an angle of ten or fifteen degrees,
in order to bring them ultimately into a
straight position. This is best done by
obtaining crotched limbs from the woods,
eight to twelve feet long, and placing the
butt end, which should be sharpened, on
the ground, and the crotch end either
fagainst the trunk, Immediately beneath
I the branching point, or against a large
outer limb, if more convenient, securing
it from chafng in the crotch by padding
of straw, or litter, and setting the tree at
once up to the desired angle of elevation.
Loosen, alse, the ground on the windward
side of the root, so that it will not bind
and the work is accomplished. Let this
be done when the tree begins to make its
summer growth, or soon after leafing out
One season, if the tree is thrifty, will bt
tall that is required. If, however, it bt
obstinate, repeat the trial another year
The remedy is sure. Even large tree
which have acquired a permanent lean
B lmay be thrown into an erect posture, b.
loosening the earth at the root, and occa
sionally cutting off an obstinate large roo
j without injury to its growth, and thus b
i moved slightly. An erect tree will b
longer lived and more fruitful than I
leaning one, and not half SO subject t
causaltyaas if left to its own guidance.
